benkay: <Drew> i would like to think that i ended up with a structured thinking process << hang out here and you might be so lucky as to have one beaten into you
TheNewDeal: can i get a linky?
mircea_popescu: benkay i dunno, that's why the producers hire research depts yo uknow ? not my jobsworth :D
mircea_popescu: then i'll consider it
mircea_popescu: "I really would like you to contrast that with what you have to do with HTML on the Internet. " asciilifeform re your article, god help us if we end up executing code off the data
Drew: that made me laugh pretty hard i must say
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well that's my pov. i mostly care about, interact with and experience the world through womenz.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: somewhat tangentially, i notice that your illustrative examples of the ragged and starving are always grlz.
mircea_popescu: 'm like pavlov's dog over here punkman, i see your name i expect great links.
mircea_popescu: i
asciilifeform: as a teenager, i was kept in lavish supply hardware-wise just from what nearby (us) office parks dumped.
asciilifeform: i suppose 'people' are also innocent of the concept of backup.
mircea_popescu: people keep "everything they have" in reach of the government, and i nreach of a woman they met two weeks ago while drunk, and so on.
mircea_popescu: coupla years ago ukash was just taking over from... i forgot who
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I suppose that's what I'll have to do.
Drew: why do i think that it would be more effective?
Drew: i understand if you dont, but it would be much more effective than me trying to explain it all
Drew: mircea honestly if you are willing i would love to shoot you over the complete financials to check out
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: US amateur radio licensing << there is an exam, multiple choice, concerning basic physics and law (as it pertains to radio in usa). the questions, if i recall, are... published. just like the joke that is u.s. 'citizenship test.'
Drew: well i'm glad there is hope for me yet
Drew: i would like to think that i ended up with a structured thinking process
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: So I've heard. I'm just thinking of a local venture that has run into the localization issue hard as it expanded
Drew: i went to a few years of aerospace engineering at Auburn University
Drew: mircea i really do appreciate you taking your time to speak with me about this
mircea_popescu: yes, i get the general idea that the us contains a number of cities.
Drew: i listed those cities primarily to illustrate a the way the shows would be spread out
mircea_popescu: i mean you, personally.
Drew: and i do appreciate yalls patience and interest in this
Drew: i did my homework mircea, sorry i missed one of the problems
BingoBoingo: I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with US amateur radio licensing
mircea_popescu: Drew the edc i knew was like the world's largest electronic stuff, but i had no idea some sfx thing had bought it
Drew: -i-Motion - $12,000,000 - 70% ownership
Drew: i can name several
Drew: i see what you mean though
Drew: for a random guy who bought a ticket, i sure have some ambitious plans for this project ;)
Drew: there is plenty of published material regarding EDMutual and Decibel though, and through them i can very readily prove my association with this project
Drew: probably not honestly. I organized the entire team that threw it, met and introduced the 2 partners (EDMutual and Decibel), designed the initial business plan and found the investment. My name isnt on any of that though
asciilifeform: (i, for those who don't know, ended up here entirely by fortune. invited by mpoepr/hanbot)
Drew: really? i was referred to it as being one of the top 2000 most trafficked sites on the internet
Drew: so if the bitcoin assets space is definitely almost entirely btc focused, would you say that the bitcointalk space is as well? I have had a couple of responses even on my posts that were almost entirely flame-ridden
asciilifeform: i suppose a definition is unnecessary - folks who have a poor enough grasp of the mechanics, of both varieties, will soon lose interest in btc and fade away
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I imagine they have half of it. Seaman vs. Able Seaman
mod6: if i had 1 satoshi for everytime they got it wrong, i'd have 1 BTC by now.
mod6: pff, how about 'how many satoshi in 1 BTC?' i see them get this wrong /constantly/ on twitter, drives me up a tree.
BingoBoingo: benkay: I think asciilifeform Has a better point
Drew: i feel that there should be a way to earn trust with this space in other ways than proving bitcoin competency
Drew: also as much as i appreciate the bitcoin space, it is not my expertise
Drew: what can i do that is productive towards my goal to gain that
Drew: so i will basically have to dig a hole and fill it back in again for the sole sake of demonstrating competence
Drew: yeah benkay, it seems like the web of trust is where i need to head to
Drew: i'd imagine that it happens both ways every day actually
Drew: i would imagine that there are some btc connections that may decide to become a fiat connection any day though
benkay: i can't trust you without it though.
Drew: i would hope that that would separate me from people such as dank
Drew: well i'm glad i come across as less psychotic at least
benkay: i'm out y'all
benkay: i don't really care
Drew: thats ok, politeness isn't something i came looking for. I have a thick skin and would prefer constructive brute criticism to beating around the bush senseless politeness any day
Drew: I am looking on the bitcointalk.org forum for an investor though, and one thing you may be able to help me with (if you are willing) would be how to more readiliy pitch it to them
Drew: I came here at the advice of ThickAsThieves, though I could have been more clear with him about the background of it
benkay: if your brand = your corporation, i don't see how that's addressing the concern.
Drew: i would correct you though benkay, in that the abhorrence is mostly towards large corporation involvement in live music, not so much the brands themselves
Drew: while they own many venues and are able to throw larger shows and more frequently than most people, they don't directly throw any festivals or 5000+ person events that i am aware of
Drew: i would say that livenation is automatically abhorred by the vast majority of not only e-tards but lovers of live music in general
Drew: i would say that those 2 questions are very much interrelated
dub: I lol that the US learned about "EDM" 30 years later and is liek 'jump on dis new shit'
benkay: also, you can't up yourself, i don't think.
Drew: OK - I have successfully thrown a music festival in Atlanta called Lunar Massive. Our plan is to continue the brand in the most optimum direction and develop it into the ideal acquisition target for the below company for the further below reasons. - ☟︎
Drew: like how do i private message assbot to up me
Drew: i mean as far as if i rejoin and need to get !upped again
Jezzz: dunno if I have time to build ozbot a porn analyzation engine
Jezzz: lol, case in point I guess
Jezzz: if you have another tumblr source you'd like me to add to the randomization, I can do that
kakobrekla: not so perfect i meant.
kakobrekla: i am, as in exist, i havent started make the change yet.
DrewHorne: ThickAsThieves - so if I were able to discuss ~90% of my business plan here, but it involved fiat currency, would this not be a proper place to vet the plan?
Jezzz: if you are, i'll stop
Jezzz: mircea_popescu: i'm almost done, they better hurry :)
mircea_popescu: i dunno about that hehe. we've had rapid deployment b4
ThickAsThieves: <+mircea_popescu> upon consideration, i think jezz has a very valid point. it's not ozbot that should change.// hey that was my point!
Jezzz: but I bet ozbot does it before bitbet does :)
DrewHorne: and i actually don't watch any TV really
mircea_popescu: upon consideration, i think jezz has a very valid point. it's not ozbot that should change.
DrewHorne: was i not sharing both equally by simultaneously sharing what I want and how it would benefit them?
ThickAsThieves: I think they lead with the ask
DrewHorne: this is true, hence I am in a bit of a paradox here.
mircea_popescu: i tend to just link a biutbet, then i find myuself having to paste data
mircea_popescu: Jezzz i wouldn't know wtf the bitbet 677 is off my head
Jezzz: but if everyone wants it, i'll code it up
mircea_popescu: i'd rather have the later.
DrewHorne: basically my idea involves moreso a fiat investment rather than a bitcoin investment for starters, especially since it is over a 5 year period. I am very much of the opinion however that there are forward thinking and open minded investors of all sorts in the bitcoin space
DrewHorne: im coming from the bitcointalk.org investments forum, I have a very solid business plan that I am looking for investment on, and after speaking with ThickAsThieves he said that the best way to go about vetting my idea in the bitcoin space was to bring it here
Jezzz: i'd just need to take a look at the bitbets api
benkay: <ThickAsThieves> in a few years everyone will just be their own business << why do you think i do what i do?!
mircea_popescu: and while i suspect he's not necessarily willing to openly admit as much, he prolly got my point.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo nah, i think he may be more than a few tweaks and turns away from an actual workable harem.
ThickAsThieves: meanwhile i think my A/C now died
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves if i were to wager a guess, rap beats is a crystal ball thing.
ThickAsThieves: and i have very little hope of profit in that area
ThickAsThieves: even teh FF series, probablty the most popular soundtracks, i bet less than 10% of buyers could name 1 composer
