mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's valid.
a) erdos doesn't get his guidance from youtube ; b) most people taking it will scrub.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: decimation so taleb's mistake is that he's being
a BANAL asshole ?
decimation: mircea_popescu: you have
a different writing style. you don't set off the 'derp' alarm, you set off the 'wait, wtf is he on about' alarm, which generally results in an interpretation excercise
mircea_popescu: who, notably, has
a lot more grounds than me to be all "fu world y u don't respek!"
mircea_popescu: looks like genetic on that basis. you gotta be really unlucky as
a guy
decimation: I think methamphetamines are still prescribed for military pilots who need to 'remain alert' for days at
a time
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'm thinking of the one that rolled the meth together with an opiate, and maybe
a few other things
assbot: Buy
a piece of Net nostalgia for $5,000 The Register

a bunch of crypto natl-socialist idiots in romania too.
mircea_popescu: "why do you hang out with these bums ?" "because they're the only people that call me
a beauty queen", said the ambitious teenaged slut.
mircea_popescu: obviously. but the convenience does not resolve the other angle. it's
a ruinous association.
mircea_popescu: gets to run
a piece of shit "resource" that everyone pushes as if it were useful.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform to be perfectly fair, the guy wasn't keeping his finances in the best of orders (according to you know, the criteria required so you don't get called "
a cult leader" by teh cult leadership). nevertheless, nothing nearly as bad as what the childfucker jimbo wales did in his day

mircea_popescu: cazalla you're not supposed to sit, but that's
a splendid idea : pole dancing.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, spring is due here so i'm going to do laps once it warms up
a little
mircea_popescu: go work out. none of that high performance gym shit tho, this isn't to perform, this is to relax. ride
a horse. swim. something sane.
cazalla: so that's why i sometimes stay in bed for
a week or 2 and just sleep the depression off
cazalla: mircea_popescu, i have no report for today, been in bed best part of
a week
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's not
a matter of the machines per se tho.
mircea_popescu: even at the risk of driving down legitimate promises and capable people, the theory goes, this is still
a worthwhile endeavour.
mircea_popescu: and the fiat state is predicated on the theory that productive work may be extracted out of assemblages of
a trillion shitheads that by and of themselves are wholly incapable.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform exactly. the fiat economy is predicated on the theory that value may be constructed out of
a trillion promises that each on and of itself is worthless
mircea_popescu: on one hand because it is actually very limited on th edirect, on the other hand because it is very affraid to use even the little it has lest

a helluva lot more moneyz.

a valid command.
mircea_popescu: someone should start
a church of confusing form with function.
mircea_popescu: and therefore! whosoever knoweth well the workings of the irc demon and how to set it up let me know, for we shall have
a plan b, and our plan b shall take over the earth!
mircea_popescu: knoweth ye, that while it is unlikely for freenode to buckle, more than anything because its brains are so scattered it's unlikely to manage to gather enough management to do anything, nevertheless this isn't
a reason to not build parachute
mircea_popescu: pronouncement #b : and then he spake thus : ye knoweth the evil people of the world know no rest, for the very fire of hell scorches their gullets on the inside so they may never sit quietly in
a room. and therefore it will come to pass that they will put pressure on freenode, starting for instance last thursday.
☟︎ assbot: Ferguson Police Officer Justin Cosma Hog-Tied And Injured
A Young Child, Lawsuit Alleges
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: I mean if the situation for the blacks improved... would there be
a Ferguson? << read the lulziest headline on
a national newspaper yesterday "blacks still aren't equal to whites. some think obama should do more."
kakobrekla: my drivers license expired recently, havent gone through the bureaucracy of extending it yet so ima bit grounded - do you have
a car here or how do you get around
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: punkman: pete_dushenski: sounds like
a death wish << i'd definitely mow him down. fucking biking hipsters. << real hipsters ride horses.
assbot: #bitcoin-assets | You cannot stop the clouds by the building of
a ship.
xmj: BingoBoingo: and why would i want to bring
a stranger gifts?
BingoBoingo: Apocalyptic: Such
a thing would probably one of the most usefull things the environment around ATC could have, since... This thing trades slow
xmj: decimation: I'm currently in Ljubljana, it's not that much of
a stretch to go there the next couple of days
Apocalyptic: <BingoBoingo> [21:49:51] Apocalyptic: Can we get
a 30 day VWAP? // possibly
decimation: umm, croatia is
a few hour drive to germany right?
decimation: the book comes off as
a combination of "listen to the wisdom of your elders" and "get off my lawn"
pete_dushenski: xmj: What would make for
a better home base in 2015 or 2016: Luxembourg, Monaco or Jersey/Guernsey? << try opatija, croatia. twas good enough for franz joseph i
decimation: in the case of bitcoin, I think he confuses the shoddy nature of modern computers with bitcoin as
a technology, which can and will exist independently from today's crap-o-soft
decimation: yeah I get his point that old stuff is better, but sometimes
a new technology does come along. While he derides electronics, it is clear that man will be making integrated circuits until the end of time (unless
a better technology supersedes it)
pete_dushenski: youtubetard: yea...Quebec will hopefully demonstrate
a peaceful and constructive seccesion << this, i'd like to see
pete_dushenski: The20YearIRCloud: Eh, gdp between 2nd world and 3rd world is huge, much easier to pay some PMCs and take over
a african despot than say kazachstan << reminds me of when elbonia went from
a 2nd world country from
a 3rd. the only difference being that now they had enough food and were starting to get picky about it.
assbot: If you ask someone where he comes from & he answers "Europe",odds are he is Romanian or Bulgarian.
A German wd answer "Germany".Same Fr/I/Sp
BingoBoingo: mod6: Any idea if atcbot can get
a 30 day VWAP command?
X-Rob: BingoBoingo: yeah. Seems to be mining away happily now. Just that I have no proof-of-mining, apart from random blocks appearing, and I don't like that. So yeah, I'll get onto making
a pool later. But it's work-o'clock now.
BingoBoingo: X-Rob: Well, I see we've gotten
a few blocks since the switch, so... Improvement
X-Rob: BingoBoingo: I gave up on that pool. It was getting worse. I'm solo-mining to that address for the moment. I started writing
a playbook so I can deploy pools easily, and I'll hopefully finish it after work today.
assbot: [BTC-TC] CIPHERMINE.B1 -
a virtual corporate bond with
a 22% fixed-fiat APR
RagnarDanneskjol: that is
