mircea_popescu: ascii_field and a traditional wife cooks. what's your point.
mircea_popescu: another very important chunk of the story is the fallout from the "causes not purposes" philosophy. all b-a software exists because, not for, and this is HOW we end up with things like "well we now have this v-jewel, what's it for ?"
mircea_popescu: phf more layers to it but as a first approximation yea
mircea_popescu: jurov so it would be ~600 bucks for 8u of space, then hire you to manage it and then buy the actual machines. as an upside you actually have physical access and will lock down the boxes ?
mircea_popescu: mike_c incidentally the reason i won't recite a todo list for v (and deleted alf's proposed list) is specifically because we don't even understand yet fully its implication. bitcoin-like.
mircea_popescu: in any case the concept of "democratic self management" is about as idiotic as it gets. like a one-legged chair.
mircea_popescu: moderate success rate on former, low on later, soft sort of thing anyway.
mircea_popescu: phf the way "claiming" has to date worked in b-a has been as a gubernatorial function, mostly me encouraging/discouraging people from certain projects.
mircea_popescu: if it is not, you will have rebuilt washington dc. you don't want that. dead 8yo girls from cunt explosion is much better.)
mircea_popescu: (that list MUST be kept. in one head, or a collection of heads approximable to one head.
mircea_popescu: mike_c my definition of "know each other" is, "they can navigate the who's doing what maze". that's the bar.
mircea_popescu: "use this signset to package ltc ; use this signset to package rippe" etc
mircea_popescu: in point of fact all the bitcoin-copy altcoins could just as well have run on v
mircea_popescu: mike_c understand, there's no promise that V will result in even similar bitcoins.
mircea_popescu: either they know each other so no problem, or they don't and so no problem space.
mircea_popescu: how about "people who don't know each other aren't working on the same software, no matter what they might think"
mircea_popescu: ie, a mega system deployed by billions of people in a million different nooks and crannies
mircea_popescu: no, v is the only correct solution to "windows update" problem.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: trinque that spirit is right, but it can't become a "vchain technologee in your fridge" thing
mircea_popescu is still waiting for someone to murder get a freelancer with
mircea_popescu: if this isn't proof that people pick their life, nothing is.
mircea_popescu: they're exactly your stage +2. "since we gotta have all these llcs anyway, hopw about we derp more"
mircea_popescu: reality isn't like, you pick if to be an archer or a tank like fucking wow.
mircea_popescu: the same head that yields beautiful code also yields legal arguments, yo!
mircea_popescu: you're the fucking same thing in a different color scheme already!
mircea_popescu: im telling you, whether you'll like it or not : this conversation is to me indistinguishable from conversation with blondy who has decided "she doesn't have a math head". meanwhile she has exceptionally keen eye for shoes, to a degree most math heads could not keep up.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field that was entirely a different story. he was trying to organise his coding income through a llc.
mircea_popescu: alfie stop telling yourself stories and read the book of nature instead.
mircea_popescu: because it really makes one sleep better at night, to see teh crime fightin' experts couldn't find someone older about 13 or so to write their writings.
mircea_popescu: but if the whorbassadors i ncongo agree the age should be 18, then hey, DEMOCRACY!!11
mircea_popescu: the fact that most of the world agrees girls can marry once they can walk, that doesn't count.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: " Most pro age-limit organizations agree that 18 should be the legal age for marriage." << check it out, voting works NOW.
mircea_popescu: "oh, doctoring is a privileged activity, if some people die that's just not mentioned ; a functioning society is pointedly not a privileged activity, if anyone dies we'll put it in the newspaper".
mircea_popescu: convenient enough that there's nobody in english speaking places reading the yemenite newspapers about how "child dies at hands of doctor" or similar nonsense.

Furthermore, of the 140 million girls who will marry before the age of 18, 50 million will be under the age of 15." << note how little the agenda has to do with the purely fabricated news story.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck is this "casey research ring my scam bell"
mircea_popescu: don't credit newspapers just because they're newspapers when you know in your own field what a shitfest they are ; don't expect the laws etc are anythig but badly written, poorly maintained code full of holes. as reverse-engineerable as anything else.
mircea_popescu: the appearance of "costs" is what's known in poker as a trap. to keep the fucktards out. so dun be a fucktard, you can think, there's no rule that you may only think about coding or something. think all through, the same way, everywhere.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: yes you pay more for utilities, but not THAT much more and in general actually less than what the tax would have cost you, and you get to deduce the rent too, and it never really ends.
mircea_popescu: i'm not about to go all crazy here and suggest you actually hire an expert, you've not been buying bitcoin for long enough yet.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field you're a smart kid, do the math. or better yet, have the girl do the math.
