The20YearIRCloud: i've got many that want to do it
The20YearIRCloud: kind of what i'm doing
The20YearIRCloud: depends on the value of the resources I have ,defendability, ect
The20YearIRCloud: The guys i know who are in similar positions have done the same
mircea_popescu: well, maybe. i dun see it, but then again, each his own castl.e
The20YearIRCloud: And from what i've personally seen, working with people who buy, own ,maintain , manage, get divorced, declare bankrupcy, have their house burnt down, find radon/asbestos/lead paint, that overall real estate isn't a bad investment for your common guy
The20YearIRCloud: Why do you assume I don't have one, nor one could be easily armed/developed?
mircea_popescu: not sure how far i'd trust that trend, but anyway.
The20YearIRCloud: and even then, real estate is local based on state law/local laws, the laws I encounter here in ohio are completely different than CA or NY
mircea_popescu: sure, i could. what diff does that make! i'll just buy the living separately from investment
mircea_popescu: the fact that i can live in it is about as much a consideration as the notion i could fuck my bonds.
decimation: The20YearIRCloud: I heard you could enter the irish lottery too :)
The20YearIRCloud: I know countless people who are now sitting on near a million dollars of real estate because they own their home and a few others
mircea_popescu: cuz you know, i can't be bothered to know in that level of detail, cuz my head is otherwise full.
mircea_popescu: to this point there may be exceptions, but i'm not discussiong 1988 elm street, akron, ohio.
The20YearIRCloud: mircea_popescu: some states/countries exempt homeowners from stuff like that, i know mine does
decimation: asciilifeform: I'm pretty sure the warez book I linked above is a shitty translation
decimation: I wanna ride this device: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falkirk_Wheel
mircea_popescu: decimation kinda what i meant. depends on your crowd. can conceivably be awful, can be pretty fun
mircea_popescu: gernika: I made more consulting for a firm based out of Minnesota than I was working at the big name tech company that acquired a startup I had worked for. So yeah. Fuck startups. << acquihires are usually pitiful affairs that rarely work
decimation: mircea_popescu: I haven't done the narrowboats, are they a good time?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: believe or not, the canals here are also preserved. though i bet the neighbours wish someone'd fill them in.
The20YearIRCloud: Very cool, i imagine it'd be fun
mircea_popescu: decimation: The20YearIRCloud: in the UK they still have most of their canals, you can rent a narrowboat and cruise them: http://www.waterwaysholidays.com/ <<< i did this.
decimation: I find learning another language to be a good way to find out how I am ignorant of things that millions of children know
kakobrekla: well here i guess.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla i was going to give it to him slowly, but danielpbarron had to go all teenager hormonal on the nice ppls.
mircea_popescu: i fear no evil...
gernika: mircea_popescu lol seems to be better than other things I've tried
mircea_popescu: as i wallk through the valley of the silly con
mircea_popescu: gernika: I am a consultant in silly-con valley << win.
decimation: we've been derping about some technical stuff, gernika, ben_vulpes and I were talking about the silly-con valley employment scam
mircea_popescu: anyway, i mostly came back for the lsdcoin discussion
decimation: I thought that definition 2 of the urban dictionary is what you were going after
ben_vulpes: see now i'm in this horrible place where i *think* i know when you've made a mispelling, but then i double guess, then...
decimation: I thought you meant allele
ben_vulpes: decimation: i'm not convinced that i can own anything but btc any more.
decimation: ben_vulpes: I think the renting vs. buying thing is a generational shift in the us
mats_cd03: still whole, i hope?
decimation: gernika: not unless it is your primary residence and your gains are less than $500k (as I recall)
ben_vulpes: i just let the girl paint the walls whatever and book the deposit as a cost of renting.
mats_cd03: i was under the impression selling homes is a matter of finding bagholders
decimation: gernika: I've noticed that it's a common pattern in today's economy: kid goes to work for borg-firm, gives up his flower of youth, and then later finds employment profiting on the idiocy he witnessed earlier
gernika: I made more consulting for a firm based out of Minnesota than I was working at the big name tech company that acquired a startup I had worked for. So yeah. Fuck startups.
gernika: decimation: I slaved at startups for years. Meanwhile my friends were actually making money consulting. I just started working for my friends.
gernika: I don't work with low wage people.
ben_vulpes: which, i guess, is why they come to me. "please write some not shitty software. i'll pay you 1.25x market just so i can keep the paper and the software and not have to manage the zeks."
ben_vulpes: i don't really buy that part decimation. the people who do rounds easily understand the problems of shitty software, and are loath to hire zeks at sub market wages.
gernika: I am a consultant in silly-con valley
ben_vulpes: "i'll take the cash, you can keep the paper."
decimation: ben_vulpes: I suspect this is how most money is 'made' in silly-con valley
kakobrekla: asciilifeform no cigar on the .su but i did inject them with JS turning warning the visitors.
gribble: Error: I am not seeing this user on IRC. If you want information about a registered gpg user, try the 'gpg info' command instead.
strtupfndr: so have i told you about this magical aeroplane?
ThickAsThieves: one could program it, i dont think gribble has such
asciilifeform: when these people do design boards (i have seen this, believe or not) it's typically done by a kid with w4r3z cad proggy.
asciilifeform: if any of the humble labs i worked in / toured/ invaded are anything to go by - none of the postdocs design pcb - why??
decimation: I think that CERN are contributing to kicad these days
decimation: I think so, let me check
asciilifeform: after several weeks of 'doctor it hurts when i do that / don't do that' i threw in the towel.
asciilifeform: i bet all the other turdmeisters are ripping their hair out 'why didnchaithinkofthat'
kakobrekla: well i guess we can try but i much doubt anything good will come out of it
kakobrekla: asciilifeform seems like they only do live fetch when its time to pull an address. anyway, what would be the gain doing that - i fail to see?
The20YearIRCloud: i wnat antimatter
tokyopotato: i like this place
kakobrekla: so i listened bits of that podcast - you need to read all the logs. twice.

TheNewDeal: It was a pot brownie, as far as I recall
SubCreative: danielpbarron: last I checked, consensus doesnt' work like that.
jamesonwa: I think he has his hands in physical coins
The20YearIRCloud: I will replace bitcoin with supercoin
danielpbarron: SubCreative, i'm "participating" right back at you :p
SubCreative: I came to participate in a bitcoin-assets channel...
decimation: there's no problem with altcoins. I am pissing on the idea that they will ever be worth anything
TheNewDeal: lets say I'm a dispensary purchasing 2kg of medical grade cannabis from a supplier. Is bitcoin too slow?
TheNewDeal: EXACTLY what I was just typing
mircea_popescu: i had no idea it was an industry
kakobrekla: actually i dont think its paid since if you want to get anything done with kraken you must post a some sort of 'complaint' to ze forum.
kakobrekla: and the response re bug: Dargo, thanks for your fast reply. That speak loud. Many other exchanges are run by monkeys with funny hats! I'll sure look up for unleashing the kraken Smiley
kakobrekla: i dont use them ,just reding up.
tokyopotato: i really need to figure out this WoT thing
mike_c: i don't know how resistant yandex is to black hat seo.
mircea_popescu: actually them being obscure is their main advantage, which is a large part of why i wrote about it
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't, which is why i didn't email.
mike_c: i was thinking more like 'i c you are valuable affiliate partner, who are you?'
kakobrekla: yeah, i have been degraded to secretary and now i take it up the ass too.
mircea_popescu: email is kako's dept, and i think he prefers the passive role.
kakobrekla: <mircea_popescu> what i don't get is the partial russian translation here and there < my guess is it wants to justify its legitimacy by providing translation service.
mircea_popescu: what i don't get is the partial russian translation here and there
mike_c: although i did scam BB once.
mircea_popescu: i dunno man, it's so fucking weird...
