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.
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.
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:
i always thought the distinction is the job of the readership.
pete_dushenski: that convinced me they were too fragile and
i ended up with a 350z for a few years
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.
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: 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 it's really a comission of idiots, but anyway.
ben_vulpes:
i've heard some great rumors on the hipster conspiracy circuit lately
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
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: "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..."
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.
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:
i suppose that makes me an uneducated barbarian
ben_vulpes:
i don't get the furor over key distribution
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
TheNewDeal: xanthyos whenever

I also suspected that good hands came too often
ThickAsThieves: please post a link to the original prospectus

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:
i remember when someone was unloading coinbase shares before they became a thing
nubbins`:
i like how their buyback offer has a fixed btc/cad exchange rate too
dvsdude:
I dont like this shifty fuck
dvsdude:
I told him (ceo) that

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
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: 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....
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
