a little bit more interesting." << lol these sp4mmers
pete_dushenski: "Everything published was very logical. But, consider this, what if you were to create
a awesome title? I ain't suggesting your content is not good., however suppose you added something that makes people want more? I mean IRC Yeshiva | Contravex:
A blog by Pete Dushenski is
a little plain. You could glance at Yahoo's front page and see how they create news titles to grab viewers to open the links. You might add
a kakobrekla: well, someone could run

a week later they let you go because it was
a mistake and there you go, two extra points. maybe three.
mircea_popescu: indiancandy1 it's simple, have some people friendly in the press over at your hotel, have
a policeman come and arrest you and confiscate
a huge bundle of flour.

a heel role.
bounce: what
a cute photo. until you realise how it was probably taken.
pete_dushenski: Vexual: this ones
a newspaper, blogs are for little girls << orly?
mircea_popescu: there's
a coupla death metal bass players, brothers, by that name
thickasthieves: would it be absurd for me to suggest that bitcoin volatility has
a base shape, which appears as fractals and distorts according to current trend? sorta like an elliot wave or bubble pattern? something like the shape of the algorithm as averaged by combinining all trade bots and human behavior?
mircea_popescu: was drinking
a bottle of Jack Daniel's every night before I went onstage and another bottle while I was playing. That starts catching up with you real quick, and I started going blind in my right eye. So after
a nice scare at the doctor's office about four years ago, I stopped."
mircea_popescu: Benton: "Yeah, they're real nice guys. We're in the process of suing them right now — for slander and everything else, dude. They're going around telling people I'm addicted to methamphetamine. You know what? Who hasn't experimented with
a few things in their life? Big deal. So what if I experimented? They did, too! But, look, I don't even drink anymore, man. I mean, I'll have
a Heineken every once in
a while, but I
mircea_popescu: Benton: "It's been the fucking greatest thing in the world. Those two are
a couple of idiots, man. I hate Eric and Brian Hoffman more than anything in this world, and I will not rest until I put shit straight with the fans. Up 'til now, everybody thinks I kicked them out of the band, but nobody kicked anybody out. They quit on their own, and I wanna set the record straight in regard to those two fuckin' pricks."
mircea_popescu: what if they're live baby rats for

a way to sucesfully use nlocktime without having to worry about doublespend
mircea_popescu: brianhoffman: i know that Dionysis feels the same way so please don’t be turned off by anything we throw out there as we’re not trying to stomp out others who are smarter on this stuff <<< well the s/use/leverage/g thing you got going is
a bit weird.
mircea_popescu: punkman: danielpbarron: we could have 10 gribbles and you could check that counterparty is authed against X of those << i recall discussions about wot bridges in here too. none of it is insurmontable, except, making
a p2p wot.
mircea_popescu: brianhoffman: well we are exploring this potentially. admittedly it is
a much loftier goal than expected at first. << myeah.
mircea_popescu: "OpenBazaar is an open source project to create
a decentralized network for commerce online—using Bitcoin—that has no fees and cannot be censored."
☟︎ brianhoffman: hey i hate to run but i have to. I heard from @dionyziz and he said he will be able to drop in
a little later. I will DM you on Twitter @danielpbarron when he’s available and then just drop in say hey to continue the talk if you don’t mind.
danielpbarron: i like proof of burn -- that's why XCP is still
a thing, and mastercoin isn't
punkman: "Global trust is trust towards
a particular individual which is seen as the same from all members of the network. Projected trust is established through
a pseudonymous partial knowledge web-of-trust, while global trust is established through proof-of-burn and proof-of-timelock mechanisms."
danielpbarron: i figured as much, or else it would already be
a think in here
brianhoffman: well we are exploring this potentially. admittedly it is
a much loftier goal than expected at first.

mircea_popescu: "[–]PWNY_EVEREADY 1 point 8 minutes ago Ahh what

a race
Vexual: id love to try to convince
a judge im
a bigger asshole than popescue
assbot: Optimism shouldn't be
a personal disposition. You want flight attendants to be "optimistic", pilots to be "pessimistic" not the opposite.
Vexual: actually i don;t want t be too much of
a bother, but i think you'll find that patent is actually mine

mircea_popescu: universal advice for all redditard problems : 1. quit reddit never to return ; 2. quit your current bs "job/studies" and get
a real job ; 3. quit your current bs" relationship", spend
a year celibate then get
a real relationship ; 4. stop saying high to your current "friends"

a redditor too and I don't want to get any backlash by posting this on my main account.

a third of restaurant workers are on drugs, it's the junkie central. more so than jail.
mircea_popescu: virtually all browsers know enough to not redld
a navigation pic, but virtually all will re-dld the base64 blob
mircea_popescu: if every time

a trilema page it actually had to get all the images as base64 i'd have
a major problem on my hands.
