ben_vulpes: all you need for "wallet interoperability" is
to make
transaction scripts with OP_PUBKEY or OP_PUBKEYHASH followed by...a pubkey, or
the hash
thereof.
shinohai: I
thought
that was what protocol was supposed
to accomplish
danielpbarron: in
tucker max's defense, his are
the only books i have ever purchased in "e"lectronic form. and I did get a kick out of
them. But
that was before I discovered
trilema so who knows how
they'd read
to me if i
tried again
phf: sitting down
to "write
the great american novel" as a
the pure case of
that
jhvh1: shinohai:
The operation succeeded.
phf: the incentives seem inside out. it's not "i have something
to say
that's not otherwise been said" it's "i'm going
to say something!"
mircea_popescu: because
that's what it is. writing books is exactly like playing with rv boats. "oh, you won
the milwaukee regional finals in 2016 ? WOW!!11 where do i
throw my panties!"
mircea_popescu: "selling" 1k copies of a book is a) a fine way
to spend a
thousand hours of your
time
to earn about a hundred dollars and b) sufficient of an achievement
to make you a "best selling author" and allow you
to "lord it over"
the utter fucktards populating
that particular hobbist space.
mircea_popescu: phf evidently not. he wasted a coupla years of his life, now in 2017 is in same position as he was in 2014. but it's ok, he's unwilling
to review
this, so he'll die as he lived.
mircea_popescu: it's a joke, new york
times best seller = not enough
to pay for a night in a hotel.
phf: i somehow doubt he spent
that
time reading
the logs.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the whole "i write books" aspirational occupation is a macula of dumb just all of itself. i keep mentioning
tucker max because he
tried (and claimed
to succeed) and utterly failed at
the
thing.
a111: Logged on 2014-11-11 08:48 saifedean: really, before you dismiss paleo, just
try eliminating grains from your body for 2 weeks and see what it does
to you. every single person i know who's done it has changed
their life entirely.
mircea_popescu: "i want a guy who will love me for me" but in
the male color scheme, as it were.
mircea_popescu: well, if by strategy you mean, attempt
to adequate
to
the environment, i'd say none. if you mean "i am saifadean hear me roar"
then sure, he's
trying
to matter as he is rather
than as he'd matter.
phf: right, i'm
trying
to discern some kind of strategy
that he's employing, but
there might just be none
mircea_popescu: anyway. such is
the high cost of harboring delusions of self-determination.
mircea_popescu: "you mean, with a girl ?" "no, by myself. but it'll get all
the girls interested! after all my used condom maker works!!11"
mircea_popescu: i very much doubt it.
the
time for unsolicited manuscripts was sometime in between
the summer of 90something and
the autumn of
the same 90something. nobody can
tell you precisely when, but in any case "i made a book" is precisely
the same as "i made a used condom"
☟︎ phf: this is not
the right audience for
that sort of club footed approach, but i'm sure he'll get a good response on bitcointalk or whatever
phf: i suspect saifedean is pitching various audiences
to create a buzz for his upcoming book, because
the way he opened seemed like a cold call. "normies" "bezzle
this bezzle
that" every phrase felt like it was lifted from a "wake up sheeple" video with
that matrix soundtrack
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, only interesting under
the angle of "idiot empire raided open source forum, pretends
to have "discovered"
things and
to "give credits"
to itself etc."
jurov: Shares pushed. davout: you know how
to get your s.qntr?
BingoBoingo: My bad,
total shares figure was correct, allocation was not.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-02 07:26 diana_coman: lobbes, I'll gladly pay for
the auction services in Eulora; Foxy's currently in a days-long craft so will have
to wait for
that
to finish first
though
mircea_popescu: but i meant re
the sulphur mine boys of eg southern italy 19th century.
shinohai: ^ /me read
that article and almost decided against all
this poppycock
danielpbarron: might have been a
trilema article, i don't recall exactly
mircea_popescu had camwhoring on "list of
things girl must do" extremely briefly. went right
the fuck out, it's a scandalous abuse of
the human body
to compare with, eg,
the "sulphur mine children".
danielpbarron: i
think it might be comparable
to camwhores and ptsd. having
their attention constantly split here and
there
trying
to appease everyone
mod6: (my apologies for
the late submission
to
the chamber.)
danielpbarron: plus all karaoke djs
tend
to be a little weird in a way particular
to
that profession; i don't care
to become like
that
mircea_popescu: it being fundamentally an azn
thing, i expect it works just like star wars etc. can be pro, but it means a certain
thing.
danielpbarron: yes
that
too. a few days ago someone was saying "oh you should be on america's got
talent!" and i'm like "haha no way"
danielpbarron: idk, get hired by bars
to sing all night or something
mircea_popescu always imagined stuff like america got
talent is
the
tail end of karaoke bars.
danielpbarron: you found a good venue of
the dj is willing
to download songs on
the spot. my favorite place is a portugese bar where
the guy will play from youtube if he doesn't have
the song.
that's
the only way I can properly sing Lil Wayne -- find
the instrumental version and read lyrics from my phone
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron how would you do it professionally,
they have contests or what ?
danielpbarron: people
tell me i should do it professionally, but
to me it's just a fun
thing
to do. i
think it would not be fun if i
tried
to make money with it
mircea_popescu: he also
told me he's metrosexual, but upon inquiry it was established he merely misunderstood what
that meant.
mircea_popescu: anyway, my driver's crazy about karaoke. he admits he wanted
to be a singer!
mircea_popescu: "this shit makes no sense it's what
they do other places mmkay."
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron
they weren't offended in
the slightest. i
think
the only proper way
to describe
tico mindset is "eagerly open minded".
danielpbarron: but i really confuse
them because i also sing
things like simon and garfunkel really well
danielpbarron: i also offend locals. my favorite
things
to sing are
the most violent rap like Eminem
danielpbarron: ooo you do karaoke!? i do
that several
times a week
mircea_popescu: "what do you mean he shoots
the kid ?! but we're doing spanish romantic bs all day, love you eternally etc!"
mircea_popescu: everyone was very... living up
to
the occasion of
the sacred language blessing
their venue.
then i explained what
the lyrics said, and i
think
they were a little aghast
mircea_popescu: she did "don't
take your guns
to
town", which was
teh only english
thing done, and apparently was a challenge
to download etc, but
the dj was very proud
to manage eventually.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, yest went with hanbot an' coupla locals
to
this "sports bar" where
they run girl's footsketball (i have nfi, small indoor court, nice asses, ball kicking) and karaoke.
mircea_popescu: the only objection is
that a happy life is not actually impossible.
mircea_popescu: "first of all
there appeared
the idiots,
then next
transport landed some
thieves. as all women were already ladies a platoon of whores was parachuted from
the sky.
the danger being real
the idiots spontaneously invented
the first courthouse."
mircea_popescu: the chief problem with
the barriers is
that
they're after
the fact.
Framedragger: i
think i see what you mean. i'm not convinced he's actually
trying
to
teach just
that, but fair enough.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-02 16:31 Framedragger: or you mean
that yet somehow his general spiel still mirrors some general faulty 'american' structure (difficult
to prove/disprove
this)
jurov: I will wait with
the shares
till
that is resolved.
shinohai refuses
to let skiddies cut in on his commission .....
mircea_popescu: she wouldn't mind doing it in person, but
the dude sure as fuck ain't gonna ask her.
mircea_popescu: i imagine 50% of rats exist so random wankers can watch
the girl in 8a work as a camho without having
to pay for
the "credits"
shinohai: Lulzy morning when some smacktard on
twitter sends one of my girls a .uue file. When
that didn't work, sent files as a .zip in email.
