mike_c: poor analogy. i'm not looking for pointless barrier. this is why wife needs to be of certain quality.
mircea_popescu: let me go at it a different angle. you ever were good friends with a good doctor ? i mean, practicing seriously, a good one.
mircea_popescu: which is why i said a wife's closer to a dog earlier.
mike_c: well, i am not concerned with commonly. commonly wife & husband can't stand each other.
mircea_popescu: as far as i can see, wife's closer to dog than to slave.
mircea_popescu: if anyone from ecuador is here : i will trade with you in violation of ecuador's alleged "laws".
mircea_popescu: hey, more power to her, i've no problem with it.
mircea_popescu: mike_c thing is, i've met plenty of right women
mircea_popescu: which is why women are my slaves, rather than me theirs : because i am great, and they aren't as great.
mike_c: and i don't want a dog. different strokes.
fluffypony: mike_c: true that...I guess we want it to be a bit more of a "sure thing" when embarking on a 20 year project that will consume nearly all our time and money ;)
mircea_popescu: i want the right to kill any children or i won't have any. that's that.
mircea_popescu: mike_c why would i take a gamble on another's terms ?
rithm: i call to the stand vbuterin
mircea_popescu: fluffypony i don't think they take peers that seriously.
mike_c: why do some people get dogs? i have no fking idea.
mircea_popescu: mike_c now why would i do that ? i'
rithm: i hate teenagers!
fluffypony: either way, we've realised we're too selfish as a couple to consider children, and I doubt that will change in future
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla can i send you my cv ? maybe there's a job opening somewhere, bit4x ?
fluffypony: well it's other concerns, mike_c - my neice has down syndrome, and I don't envy the ongoing struggle my aunt and uncle have
mircea_popescu: or at least so i imagine.
mircea_popescu: the fuck am i going to do now.
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves this is the benefit of aging. you start to realise your time is worth more than money. << a lesson few, even more aged, grok. intentionally i often suspect, as they're too unimaginative to find better uses for their time
bitcoinpete: definitely, but i seriously no idea it was 7.5% before!
mircea_popescu: i mean i get it, new mercantilism, they don't want consumption, all that. but omfg, 8%.
bitcoinpete: which i guess russia did today - 0.5% up to 8%
mircea_popescu: actually i should probably write on the us fiction of "social mobility"
asciilifeform: i've been told this is SOP in japan, as well.
bitcoinpete: asciilifeform i had the good fortune of going to a larger canadian uni, saving me from such poisonous offerings
bitcoinpete: if canadian institutions were so favourable, i'd be in medicine
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: pankkake: natalie portman is a jew? I always knew something was off with her << only on the mother's side. << still counts, of course, and a +ev strategy for it to be so. my father isn't one of the "chosen people," though he's still… frugal
mircea_popescu: ahh what a way to wake up. i think ima fire up h2 now
benkay: "cyranodeb" // read as cyra-node-b, because i have bitcoins on the mind
DreadKnight: I'm not too keen about reddit myself, ugly looking
mircea_popescu: fluffypony trilema started in 2008. and since then, i've written > 1 article a day, each day, every day.
DreadKnight: jurov, yeah, that's assuming less risks in the short term anyway; though in the long run, those percentages could be way more than that fixed profit cut I mentioned
mircea_popescu: fluffypony i can help you! http://trilema.com/2010/heroes-iii/
DreadKnight: wait, why am I seeing a picture of fluffypony's wife? xD
asciilifeform: 'fuck you fuck me' << that was the original teledildonics product, if i recall.
DreadKnight: jurov, was more keen on giving a fixed percentage back from the investment with time, besides the investment itself ofc; I'm not really into stock market, but I guess that would be fine, I could always buy the dividends myself at some point :D
fluffypony: "I reached the top and I had to stop, and that's what's bothering me"
fluffypony: only when it's the morning and I haven't had coffee ;)
fluffypony: I don't have a project, I'm semi-retired
DreadKnight: fluffypony, so yeah, what's the link to your project? I'm making www.AncientBeast.com
DreadKnight: I usually hate compiling, most keen on browser based stuff
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight that's exactly how i go too. eulora is supposed to be playable forever.
DreadKnight: evergreen games are the hardest to make and I don't want strings attached over the years; you could check out this article about such games http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/DanielCook/20130726/196754/A_single_game_as_a_lifelong_hobby.php mircea_popescu
DreadKnight: the answer: I'm trying to make an evergreen type of game, with high replay value, that will also get new content and features over the years; so it's not like an oldschool published game, where you got a finished product with 40 hours of gameplay and then it gets stacked on the shelf
DreadKnight: forgot to answer that last time, well I misinterpreted
artifexd: I come back from Ecuador and realize that they just banned bitcoin entirely because they're going to make their own cryptocurrency. I guess my wife was right all along when she said Correa was a dumb ass.
pigeons: i could just spend the money i dont have because im taking a temporary loss on more efficient hardware that doesnt exist
pigeons: my stocks went down too, but the price doesn't matter, i'll just take a temporary loss and not sell. how long is temporary?
xmj: i dont wanna pay taxes; just get a bank account and receive money :p
csshih: lol sorry xmj ;p I'm only familiar with the online app which takes literal moments
CheapBoy: Omg... I'm outta here
CheapBoy: Does gribble know where I am???
CheapBoy: Xmj Hi. I still don't understand what is what in the instructions about gribble
CheapBoy: I've got the hold of my GPS keys, trying to understand how to speak to gribble :)
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many of these fucktarded kids realise that a) domestic animals could "learn" the bullshit they've "learned" and b) that automatically means it ain't fucking worth bothering with.
mircea_popescu: ironically, for all the bitching, wailing and thrashing of insignificant subhumans on reddits and forums, there is A TON of free space right at the top, and for years i've just been waiting for people to come and claim their spot.
fluffypony: I agree
mircea_popescu: actually i am wrong : gg is like 1mn tons.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, connecting Hawaiian or Aleutian island with Bridges, i.e. places that don't need bridges
BingoBoingo: "I can see this working for a limited amount of time, in small communities. But who is going to build a $3 Billion bridge and regulate the quality of the engineering? Donations? What will keep greedy companies from paying desperate workers $2/hour, which is what is happening right now in countries with less regulation." Ferries are still a thing
mircea_popescu: i ran a town, it was a pleasure to live in. for everyone except the buttcoiners, of course (the dumbass kids that go for postdocs in the us didn't exist) and the feminists (the dumbass womenz also didn't exist).
assbot: PureApeshit comments on I honestly don't care about many laws put around Bitcoin. The funny thing is I'm your average American next door neighbor.
mircea_popescu: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2blwn1/i_honestly_dont_care_about_many_laws_put_around/cj6s0ar << the lithuanian guy has a point.
BingoBoingo: Right now a big piece of spam when I listen to the radio is "Own your own oil well" commercials targeting accredited investors.
mircea_popescu: "Somehow I managed to partially recover from my Ripple loss, I don't think I will invest in anything else but bitcoin in the future."
BingoBoingo: Well, if I settled next to the sea I figured I'd call myself vegetarian and eat hundreds of oysters a day for the trollz
mircea_popescu: i don't think oysters imagine
BingoBoingo: Dude thoug adopted the Doger-aspie mentality of I want X, but only via route Y.
mircea_popescu: i've definitely spent more than 500 hours whipping slaves over the past decade
cazalla: i'll ask my brother, he held WR for fastest complete on pokemon red for gameboy
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'm moe dumfounded that he didn't just fck the rng to favor him
mircea_popescu: am i to be impressed that somebody did something for 500 hours ?
assbot: You know, I've had it up to here with this Indian malarkey.
decimation: I suspect that they are more substantially graded than us highways
asciilifeform: i hear they even eat real - non-recycled - food, there.
decimation: as far as I can tell, doesn't exist
decimation: I've been seeking such a person for years
asciilifeform: point of fact: i've seen bitterns here.
asciilifeform: decimation: md200 << aye. i even have the rfid billing gizmo just for it.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I just guessing off of the name that Julia has a vagina API call, and vaginas are accomodating to nearly anything given sufficient time to warm up
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i know but i mean... portability right ?
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight php is not too popular here, following a total bashing it got a few months ago over some bizarre design choices and (i suspect) the fact tux loved it.
DreadKnight: I'm using git inside dropbox while working on websites
BingoBoingo: I'm just trying to get over PHP is your prefered language and Bending Wordpress to your will seems intimidating.
DreadKnight: BingoBoingo, I could just share source code with someone and it would be easier for him to run it; I could start working on a dynamically generated website on my computer in any folder
BingoBoingo: I'm just curious, also a little bit drunk and trollish for full disclosure.
BingoBoingo: DreadKnight: I know you want to talk about ======== php, but... What use would you find about an HTML generation language that would make it great for the whole system?
DreadKnight: BingoBoingo, I'm talking php
DreadKnight: I still hope that someday php will be usable system wide, like python, not just in a specific directory
decimation: if you buy golden toliet pick 'n' place and fancy solder tools I guess it becomes extremely expensive
decimation: right, pcbs are a different matter I suppose. I'm not so sure that assembly must be so expensive, given that the pcb is outsourced
asciilifeform: decimation: i occasionally etch simple 2-layer boards in kitchen, but only for quick experiments (e.g. studying particular smt component)
asciilifeform: decimation: i've no intention of producing pcb per se at home. at this point it is in fact more expensive than chicom boards with proper solder mask, plating, etc.
asciilifeform: decimation: what little (semi) automation i have in mind, is simply to eliminate problems with prototype assembly quality (vs design) from consideration during test.
decimation: I guess it depends on your requirements. if you really must build 8 layer pcbs with blind vias, the equipment to accomplish that is going to cost orders of magnitude more than dual-layer stuff
