asciilifeform: consider their treatment of buffett >> last i checked he was alive and well ?
asciilifeform: damnit i step out to drill a few holes in the dirt shack and miss all the good stuff (tm) as always.
mircea_popescu: i meant mob as in, cosa nostra mob.
mircea_popescu: suppose i ran for fucking congress in say south africa, on the internal conviction that upon the destruction of south africa lies my prosperity.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski sadly i can't evaluate your contribution because youtube considers it dangerous for minors such as myself.
pete_dushenski: lol i shoulda used douchecanoe instead of contravex
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> pete_dushenski no, that's still the chadians. show me one of these fucktarded, social sciences major chick twerking. << If I still used the Facebook thing this might be possible.
mircea_popescu: what french lol. i fucked french.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> no but im seriously offended. the entire fucking pile of a century worth of chomskis and whatnot "brahmins" has produced exactly 0 cultural output. << I blame Husserl and Derrida
mircea_popescu: or maybe because i killed andreas antonowhatevs
mircea_popescu: i always thought the distinction is the job of the readership.
mircea_popescu: i wonder if this is in any way my merit.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo do i ?
pete_dushenski: that convinced me they were too fragile and i ended up with a 350z for a few years
pete_dushenski: i test drove one… and broke it
dignork: alternative: I assume that he is +6, because that's how smart he supposed to be to fool me...
dignork: malicious vs. idiotic problem is an intersting one: when I see somebody smarter than myself, by say +3 points, i can assume that he didn't find a solution because it required +4
mircea_popescu: dignork i don't consider idiocy to be any more all-encompassing than genius. one can be a chemistry genius and die of accidental exposure. one can similarly be a complete idiot in say politics and yet an accomplished farmer.
mircea_popescu: or at least it's what i read.
BingoBoingo: I've never really liked his argumentative style as he tries to put forth the grand societal argment relying on mush that seem reminiscent of Urbit "jets"
dignork: mircea_popescu: I never said he is stupid, but the proposed model is not thought through.
mircea_popescu: so to come round circle, i guess he could be just incredibly fucking stupid, as dignork proposes. perhaps.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo what i most took exception with was the inane proposition that the mob (w/.e he calls it, d something) had "no cultural insitutions"
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I am astounded by that post, the structure and foundation of his argument, and his conclusions. Applying Subcontinental templates onto Us society with the readiness a programmer might call some javascript data structures to be used in python
diametric: i always love coming home to digikey boxes at my doorstep.
dignork: in any case, through his writings I was searching for a better model, but he forgot to provide one, so it was fun to read, but nothing more
mircea_popescu: i am aware.
mircea_popescu: i do not believe so.
mircea_popescu: that reminds me BingoBoingo : i was gonna say i don't like curtis yarvin / mencius moldbug for the following very specific reason - he sounds exactly like a propaganda job for smart people.
mircea_popescu: On Friday, the peso recovered a smidgen, and the reported “blue dollar” rate dipped below 14 ARS/USD, after the central bank had reportedly blown $10 million of its foreign exchange reserves to prop it up. << to put this in perspective : the argentine natl bank foreign reserves went up 2.5 bn in the interval since i wrote im supporting them and the reporting cutoff for q2. (ie, early august)
BingoBoingo: I imagine MP reading these logs off of a projection onto a girl's back as she's bent over
ben_vulpes: now i have this image of mp sitting watching trilema logs scroll by on slow days in #b-a
mircea_popescu: i guess he clicked once too many.
asciilifeform: i suppose everyone here knows what the word 'community' means to a usg muppet
mircea_popescu: i guess it's really a comission of idiots, but anyway.
ben_vulpes: i've heard some great rumors on the hipster conspiracy circuit lately
kakobrekla: not like i can dcc bite him
mircea_popescu: i wonder why
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal: xanthyos whenever I played SWC I also suspected that good hands came too often << as long as they come equally often for everyone, i imagine the argument goes, this isn'tr cheating but promotion.
mircea_popescu: dude i tell you... reviving sickly old farts sounds pretty fucking threatening.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves: i suspect Cavirtex is doing fundraising or such and wants to fuck over the real early angels << if this is true, the published announcement opens all the directors to pretty serious criminal liability, not to mention that any court would undo the "sale".
ben_vulpes: well with all this drama i should be a millionaire any day
mircea_popescu: i didn
mircea_pope5cu: i guess that's all i can think of.
mircea_popescu: i should prolly group all these huh.
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.
mircea_popescu: i like how hearn is attacking todd lol. asif.
mircea_popescu: "Mike's response to that concern included the idea that "the community" would "just" decide to delete UTXOs - that is freeze funds - by creating a chain fork. Not the first time he's suggesting freezing funds; I think he's being a bit tone deaf here..."
BingoBoingo: I was hoping more for a red mole though
punkman: BingoBoingo: I got one from a fluffypony- http://dpaste.com/0D0CQEC
TheNewDeal: I'm mostly afraid of a sibyl vane attack
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i don't get how bip0064 compromises nodes << Allows very memory intensive requests which can crash nodes.
assbot: lol my thesis: I'm trying to predict the stock market and I don't even know why anyone approved this.
punkman: http://lolmythesis.com/post/92456241593/im-trying-to-predict-the-stock-market-and-i-dont-even
jurov: ben_vulpes i guess it's people who want to do things wholesale, commoditize and whatnot
FabianB: moriarty: who told you i'm interested in unsolicited pm's about random stuff?
ben_vulpes: i grab pete's key off gribble or, you know, ask him
ben_vulpes: but i want to send an email to pete
ben_vulpes: i suppose that makes me an uneducated barbarian
ben_vulpes: i don't get the furor over key distribution
ben_vulpes: i'd be surprised if 37 hadn't
ben_vulpes: 70-73 are all wallet-app stuff if i'm reading this correctly
ben_vulpes: now i'm looking over the past few bips as well
Apocalyptic: i was actually asking about the last few BIPs
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i don't get how bip0064 compromises nodes
ben_vulpes: i betcha actually jbork's feed huh
TheNewDeal: xanthyos whenever I played SWC I also suspected that good hands came too often
ben_vulpes: i don't have to say nuffin :)
ThickAsThieves: i bet it's the owner
ThickAsThieves: i assume they have by now
ThickAsThieves: please post a link to the original prospectus i gave you in the thread too
dvsdude: that was what i thought
ThickAsThieves: i hope so, you may wanna ask others though
ThickAsThieves: yeah i'd hold them shares tight if it were me
dvsdude: suppose to call him later not sure ......asked him why I paid 3.3 btc but he only offering me 1.1 ....his answer was lame
dvsdude: but I would have find someone else to buy them later and like nubbins said they are class b shares
ThickAsThieves: and i skipped that
ThickAsThieves: i remember when someone was unloading coinbase shares before they became a thing
ThickAsThieves: i have it!

dvsdude: I dont like this shifty fuck
ThickAsThieves: i bet they hold a bunch
dvsdude: I told him (ceo) that i wanted to phone him
ThickAsThieves: i suspect Cavirtex is doing fundraising or such and wants to fuck over the real early angels
xanthyos: i call scams on this site whether i'm ont he winning end or the losing end
ThickAsThieves: <+nubbins`> dvsdude: i think it's safe to say that keeping the shares will offer you no tangible benefits whatsoever //i dont think i agree with this
dvsdude: not much i can do here ?
nubbins`: dvsdude: i think it's safe to say that keeping the shares will offer you no tangible benefits whatsoever
xanthyos: i've seen 5 royals in 6 months
ThickAsThieves: i ask about the value because you might have some workarounds if you dont qualify as a qualified invetsor
dvsdude: ok ......I've got 3.3 into
dvsdude: hate to say what a chump i'am but started to buy them in 2011
dvsdude: i'm not
dvsdude: by the time i got home they were pennys so i kept them
ThickAsThieves: i dont think so, but ive done drugs between then and now so....
dvsdude: I was at work
nubbins`: i'd probably keep them too, if only for the fact that they REALLY seem to want to buy them back
ThickAsThieves: i almost bought some myself when i heard they were delisting
ThickAsThieves: i'd suggest registering the shares
