adlai: could even get
a nice vicious feedback loop going
adlai: it'd be cool to watch
a gold pop correspond with
a bitcoin rally
adlai: you heard it here first: the next reward halving is an appropriate occasion for
a 420 celebration
mircea_popescu: lol mk. what could happen ?
a lot of fucking, and then... the end.
mircea_popescu: berlin is the story of
a 50 year enclave THAT REDUCED THE PINCER
mircea_popescu: tell you what, the us can't make
a missile shield, and europe doesn't need any shield atop its cuntshield.
mircea_popescu: (and fwiw, the notion that
a young woman won't readily bare herself on request strikes me more like
a quaint anachronism of the islamic world & western colonies than anything. of course she would.)
mircea_popescu: europe is going to be pretty much naked in public as the norm in
a decade or two.
jurov: i don't see how being
a famous << i stopped reading there, that may be what he's for anyway
zaht: its nothing more than
a counterpoint to the idea that his comeuppance is due
mircea_popescu: what exactly makes you think you're in
a position to have an opinion, either about that general point or about the particular we were discussing ?
mircea_popescu: he didn't walk off with any money, but with
a ton of liabilities.
mircea_popescu: i don't see how being
a famous internet fraudster / idiot is "scott free".
mircea_popescu: i guess that's
a summary, but really plenty of room left for tons of indepth analysis.
zaht: crypto stocks leave
a lot to be desired
cazalla: it wouldn't hurt, thestringpuller has
a habit of clearsigning his submissions
fluffypony: Leisure Suit Larry required you to put in
a word from the manual at

mircea_popescu: i remember hearing about such
a thing in the mid 90s, and being both incredulous
thestringpuller: lots of neat sim games. SimAnt was an Ant simulator, but

a loss, that's
a gain. go for it.

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes yeah, the places everyone tries to sell tourists on. as the only people clueless enough to not realise that... wait
a minute!
mircea_popescu: porn is
a marginal business everywhere, and so... they'd be better off filming in ohio.
mircea_popescu: the only thing
a foreign porn company "rending in puerto madero" does is send the local whores (perfectly happy to swallow for 200 pesos, otherwise) the message that they should overcharge. which they will.
mircea_popescu: which makes the people involved more interested in supporting an image than providing
a service
adlai for
a moment was wondering what #b-
a had to do with seattle
mircea_popescu: they're not actually closed out, because argentina is still very far away from
a working market economy. these people'd be humiliated by the market, they're politically and socialy connected, can't have that.
mircea_popescu: as
a result, all those developers are today bankrupt, but...
mircea_popescu: for the bystander : puerto madero is this overdeveloped zone that cost
a lot of money, financed years ago on the theory that whatever, b-
a is going to be seattle.
adlai: "He wrapped himself in quotations, as
a beggar would enfold himself in the purple of Emperors." Rudyard Kipling
mircea_popescu: so today i made the discovery that after sleeping in

a point but it's not related
mod6: return the favor: leave them
a 2lb. of tripe and an xmas card on their doorstep
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes : today in b-
a, "best jabs are the completely impredictable, entirely baseless shit nobody expects".
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes you're being hit on, by
a bunch of bored chicks stuck in
a beancounter job in rural america and the social skills of
a box of liverjournals.
ben_vulpes: landlording company left
a pound of ground french roast on my stoop yesterday.
hanbot: “FBI agents just stormed the building, came in here without
a search warrant or anything,” Fappy The Anti-Masturbation Dolphin,
a mascot for the group, told CNN. << lol
mike_c: Monthly roundup though, sounds like
a good idea.
Anduck: like, when someone asks "what?" you be
a smart fucking ass and say "which part?"
assbot: Westerners Now Regret Joining ISIS. Should We Take Them Back? - Wah! ISIS proves to be
a drag for first-world recruits. | Guff News ... (

rdymac: we were supposed to launch
a new website for 2.0
mircea_popescu: rdymac prolly
a good idea to have your pgp key added to the page anyway.
gribble: Error: 'electrum' is not
a valid integer.
gribble: (eauth <nick>) -- Initiate authentication for user <nick>. You must have registered
a GPG key with the bot for this to work. You will be given
a link to
a page which contains
a one time password encrypted with your key. Decrypt, and use the 'everify' command with it. Your passphrase will expire in 10 minutes.
gribble: Error: "oauth" is not
a valid command.
mircea_popescu: actually speaking of which. Anduck need
a job ? exactly tailored for your intelligence level, skills and abilities, everything.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i can imagine the "responsible people" working 8 hours
a day "typing in chat". they're like, on the street, in bars, imagining they may talk to women and so forth.
punkman: "
A new Forex/bitcoin platform is looking for responsible people to work 8 hours
a day 7 days
a week, typing on their chat. You will be required to post every 1-4minutes while focusing on the topic of Forex trading and cyrptocurrency."
mircea_popescu: wow you're the guy that sent some blogger
a copy of his greencard ?
mircea_popescu: rdymac: beside that, if I've never trade at #bitcoin-otc I'm not trustable... what
a bullshit << heh.
fluffypony: yeah so obviously whoever is controlling the Twitter account at the moment can't sign
a message as any of those three
fluffypony: I haven't seen the tweet, but in the Electrum source in pubkeys/ there are
a bunch of GPG keys
rdymac: beside that, if I've never trade at #bitcoin-otc I'm not trustable... what
a bull*
fluffypony: it's
a web of trust, not
a web of trades
rdymac: beside that, if I've never trade at #bitcoin-otc I'm not trustable... what
a bullshit
assbot: Logged on 24-10-2014 04:33:56; decimation: "There's been
a mackerel economy in federal prisons since about 2004, former inmates and some prison consultants say. That's when federal prisons prohibited smoking and, by default, the cigarette pack, which was the earlier gold standard."
mircea_popescu: hopefully those folks got to live like kings for
a while lol.
mircea_popescu: so i bought half
a dozen cartons of romania's cheapest and threw em over when coming back.
Pierre_Rochard: the cop in question was just cleared by
a grand jury of any wrong doing
mircea_popescu: still, as
a general rule
a 1 mb block takes < 1s to download and multipes s to process. makes little diff.
ben_vulpes: sure, but processing is cpu bound, so if you skip ESDA there's
a speedup to be had.
ben_vulpes: obviously not
a thing to work on any time soon, but
a nifty idea.
mircea_popescu: the proper operation of bitcoin is trustless. there's nothing it needs to trust in
a no=chekcpoint scenario.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes incidentally,
a server or two to be used as
a [l2-accessible?] bitcoin testing environment may be
a great foundation expenditure
ben_vulpes is in the process of standing up an aws instance with
a full TB of storage
decimation: so, it's just
a telephone on
a wall? I don't get it
mircea_popescu: "he acted as an investment broker without
a license ?! AND HE DID SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN THE AVERAGE ?!?!" burn him!!1
mircea_popescu: which, incidentally, suggests to me
a simple, direct and therefore likely correct explanation of the previously mysterious tendency of english-speaking thinkers to create acronyms.
mircea_popescu: decimation hyow the fuck are you going to achieve the respect of your peers if you're
a loser lol.
decimation: so you are big on 'voluntary taxes'. what if someone was living in
a 'voluntary tax' jurisdiction but did not pay? Do they have the same legal privleges as one who does?
