nubbins`: so my macbook drank
a cup of coffee today
mircea_popescu: ahh people's assumptions are such
a great boon to internet humor. so i go on this blog and butthurt people, everyone assumes that since i speak the language i also live there, it's rioutous.
BlueMeanie4: well occasionally they go from being
a colony to forming into
a creature that gets up and moves
mircea_popescu: yes but they're not animals. they're colonies of animals. like
a town.
ThickAsThieves: <+mircea_popescu> therealaltcoin, ThickAsThieves' scamcoin. /// it's more of
a scamcoin assimiliation phenomenon!
BitMarmot: What, MP doesn't have
a spirit animal?
ThickAsThieves: <+BingoBoingo> BitMarmot> Website's been clocking 1,000 hits
a day for the last three days - I should write about marmots more often << Not
a bad idea //// Before you know it your website will be all "10 Wacky Interesting Things You Never Knew About Marmots"
mircea_popescu: antonosika anyway, the last clause is there specifically to allow you to limit your risk as you can make me
a settlement offer later on and who knows, i might take it.
BitMarmot: No, just not giving
a damn what other people think
mircea_popescu: i didn't even pick the right phrase. should have used rickles' "he's making
a loss on every sale but hopes to make it up on volume"
assbot:
A Law Enforcement Encounter: If you ran
a Bitcoin related service before the thing hit $100 you prolly ought to be somewhat concerned and/or prepared | Bingo Blog
BitMarmot: None immediately. It's
a long game
mircea_popescu: BlueMeanie4 well that's why i gave you that rota reference. nobody o.O after the attempt at
a public court thing failed miserably.
antonosika: mircea_popescu: starting
a contract by only seeing
a random transaction in the blockchain is dodgy as hell
BlueMeanie4: theyre
a 'musician' or
a 'pick up artist' or 'author' or some crap
mircea_popescu: well for
a coupla years there was this hot chick on the forum beating the shit out of the innumerable, meanwhile forgotten scammers.
mircea_popescu: antonosika you gotta understand how the legal mind works. you have
a beneficial presumption therein embedded.
mircea_popescu: BlueMeanie4 not all people, no. if people valued candor there'd be
a blowout sale on penis aids.
antonosika: Im about to agree to
a contract that stands if I deposit 3 btc to mircea_popescu (with the blockchain as security). Can someone tell me that this is
a smart procedure?
BlueMeanie4: to
a degree- if someone is repeatedly trying to draw attention to themselves by whoring around every buzzword and they do it repeatedly then pull
a PRESALE- thats when you start questioning someone's motives
BlueMeanie4: got the idea they know it because... well bitcoin. <
a lot of that goes on for sure
mircea_popescu: ok, "I look at BitSharesX and I see
a group of talented" << what do you mean by talented then.
BitMarmot: fact is, most alt chains aren't that big
a deal/that different from BTC to merit existence
mircea_popescu: antonosika that you can't give sue 1.5 btc and mary 1.5 btc of your load. gotta pick
a girl blow the whole load on her.
BitMarmot: If someone came up with
a chain which was awesome
mircea_popescu: BitMarmot it doesn't say so much cause "token pre-sales" isn't reallyt
a term of art.
BitMarmot: He would cast
a curse on any campers at the camp who harassed local wildlife
BitMarmot:
A friend of mine tells me the tale of
a marmot called Grey Beard
BlueMeanie4: we have something like
a marmot in the rocky mountains. its similar to
a mountain-hamster
assbot: Logged on 26-08-2014 10:50:07; mircea_popescu: There once was
a she named Priscilla whose vagina was flavored vanilla. The taste was so fine man and beast stood in line of
a lick at this fabled chinchilla.
BingoBoingo: BitMarmot> Website's been clocking 1,000 hits
a day for the last three days - I should write about marmots more often << Not
a bad idea
mircea_popescu: i already did dood. in between that pastebin and
a blockchain read you have incontrovertible proof.
antonosika: Public confirmation of that
a contract holds
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.
BitMarmot: Website's been clocking 1,000 hits
a day for the last three days - I should write about marmots more often
mircea_popescu: it's
a fucking outrage is what it is. basically vitalik saw the neobee fuckwit buy
a ferrari or whatever it was, went out of his mind and well... "if x can steal why shouldn't i"
BitMarmot: Thanks BlueMeanie4 - I do this for
a living so looked at BitShares for 20 minutes and was like, "does not compute"
BitMarmot: ben_vulpes:danielpbarron: tell preston he's not
a lost cause
mircea_popescu: antonosika well if
a payment as specified makes it to the address specified before time specified, you have.
mircea_popescu: "wait
a tick, wait
a tick... i will not ruin this sketch for
a pound"
antonosika: mircea_popescu: Is there
a way for me to show that I paid?
mircea_popescu: BitMarmot usg press machine was
a better nick. this bitblabla stuff is
a cancer.
BitMarmot: I am also
a USG_Press_Machine from time to time
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know,
a complete collection of grabbe would probably be useful at this point. he doesn't seem to have any web exposure.
mircea_popescu: you can't start by doing good. you start by doing work,
a lot of it, then you see.
mircea_popescu: well this problem is chiefly reflective of you not having done
a lot of it yet.
antonosika: Well you said that it would be better if I had no money or voice since I will never do anything good. It feels like that gives
a rather strict definition of good.
mircea_popescu: In August 1998, PointCast found such
a partner. In order to compete with @Home,
a consortium of telephone companies and Microsoft put together
a project designed to promote use of DSL in preference to cable modems. <<< has there EVER been
a technology battle where ms fell on the right side ?
mircea_popescu: antonosika you generally can't expect
a summary of such things be presented to you on demand. there's about 2 years worth of logs here and >5 of trilema articles, you'll have to go through all that to find your own answer.
mircea_popescu: "Media coverage of new technologies is always governed by an inexorable cycle: First comes the hyping, then comes the trashing. Of late, the Net has so accelerated this cycle that the trashing kicks in well before the hype has stopped — sometimes creating
a conflict of views that looks suspiciously like genuine debate."
antonosika: mircea_popescu: But, do you have
a definition of deeds that are the opposite of ill?
mircea_popescu:
a point established by considering that one has to reason to discover the good, whereas one just "feels" the nice. which approach is exactly why nice rather than good, why all that intellectual effort
mircea_popescu: good is
a matter of reason at least to some degree. nice is pure sensata crapolade.
rybro: total logical fallacy man, unless you define what 'good' people are for all parties involved there are definitely going to be differences in opinion on what
a 'good' person is and what
a good action is on their part
mircea_popescu: "nice" people are rarely worth the price of
a decent burial, clothes included, and i very much doubt they ever should be.
antonosika: Smart people have good values, so If you have
a good suggestion of what to donate my btc to I would regard you as smarter
antonosika: I deposit 3 btc to you. Isn't it fair that we decide something nice that happens with it if there is
a large delay of ETH currency?
antonosika: mircea_popescu: I deem that ethereum will trade in 100 btc in one year, but in the chance that it does not I have an infinite loss of capital (which is
a lot since I dont have much).
mircea_popescu: antonosika "avoid the risk of
a delay of ethereum trade" << what;s this mean ?
antonosika: mircea_popescu: Thanks for writing the contract, my take is that you see no way of making it possible for me to avoid waiting till september 2015 for the eth and avoid the risk of
a delay of ethereum trade?
mircea_popescu: ;;rate BlueMeanie4 1 Marx sez : never trust
a capitalist.
BlueMeanie4: 'buy BTC at
a preset price in the future' is an option
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal: There once was
a she named Priscilla << but it'
BlueMeanie4: so i would do
a small BTC future just for kicks
BlueMeanie4:
a future is similar, but it delivers the actual asset and the price is paid down in full
BingoBoingo: Beautiful kakobrekla, keep us updated if there is
a further reply
BingoBoingo: BlueMeanie4: It's like any other thing. Most of them are absolute shit, but occasionally you get one by an actual expert on an actual subject. There was actually
a nice OpenBSD one done by Micheal W. Lucas for O'Reilly
ThickAsThieves: it sure is hard to book
a US flight that isnt somehow connected to US Airways sometimes...
BingoBoingo: Not effects Dopamine, is
a precursor for dopamine
ben_vulpes: danielpbarron: tell preston he's not
a lost cause
jurov: got me
a few good chuckles
assbot: Artificial Intelligence May Doom The Human Race Within
A Century, Oxford Professor Says
danielpbarron: it should be anyone's take who has
a brain and doesn't like wasting it
