i.. wouldn't recommend going to a gasenwagen conf, not by your own choice anyway
danielpbarron: 11:51:45 <+mircea_popescu>
i will go as far as to say that no person that has spent one year diligently (4hrs/day) reading this logs can be stupid. <<
I have been doing exactly that ever since
I found this place.
prestonbanks: bingbiongo;
i have some experience with registering and using IRC channels so
i think that will be no problem as soon as
i figured out a new nick
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: in fact,
I think
I got quite vocal on this thread:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/3862 - the proposal was to switch to micro-BTC, but the accounting software idea is the same...unfortunately it was NACK'd because everyone thought it had to do with the exchange rate rather than reading the opening post
ThickAsThieves:
i dont write much, and as
i read my writing it feels very "What
I Did Last Summer", so
I'm also open to constructive criticisms
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves:
I'm EXTREMELY opinionated about that, and
I fully agree with your conclusions
mod6:
i guess
i just read a lot of these blogs directly. kindof a nice digest tho.
prestonbanks:
i'm sure
i'll pick up on the inside jokes over time
fluffypony: kakobrekla: just checked, and you're 100% right -
I'd misread an earlier issue with someone trying to ;;bcauth and gribble complaining about them not being registered,
I thought they were trying to ;;bcregister
prestonbanks:
i hate those foldable manuals that are as big as a roadmap
fluffypony: kakobrekla:
I like the structure it gives, but that's just me
benkay: (fuckers bite,
i hear)
benkay:
i'm saying setting up the gpg toolchain is a daylong exercise for new gpg users.
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: no,
I made the same mistake
prestonbanks:
i will follow the instructions in the subject line to register my nick
prestonbanks:
i heard the letstalkbitcoin interview of maidsafe
prestonbanks: well
i actually planned to follow bitcoinpete's advice
HeySteve: if
I can link to a line that's better
HeySteve: jurov,
I don't know how to link to the line, just the date
mircea_popescu: ‘When we show a film which our non-white girls are not allowed to see, they usher patrons with a torch and watch the floor,’ he said. ‘We discussed the matter with the Department of Labour and
I raised this point with them. As a precautionary measure — since non-whites are not allowed to see some films restricted to whites only — we decided that they should not look at the screen.”
mircea_popescu: decimation
i'd be surprised if 10% of us gdp is independent atm. it'd be mostly things like that cattle rancher guy.
mircea_popescu: aww.
i was rooting for "provided they remain on their knees, mouth open, left hand around lips
fluffypony:
I think it's as mircea_popescu suggests - fake traffic with fake referrers
mircea_popescu: one of the advantages of trilema :
i'm on everyone's spamlist. cause
i write about games, about movies, about whores, about money... food, you name it
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves:
I also checked the source
ThickAsThieves: weird,
i'd say it was hidden by CSS or someshit, but it aint
bounce: before 1914 you could travel all of europe without much of any papers. now, you can be locally born and raised yet get thrown in alien detention for not carrying papers.
I'd say it's currently true.
mircea_popescu:
i think this is actually quite brilliant. make it illegal to have a mob[ile vulgus]
fluffypony: mircea_popescu:
I don't think he knew the difference
HeySteve:
I mention bitcoin-assets in there as a good place to test ideas and such
HeySteve: yeah.
I would like to see Service Delivery Day instead is all :P
fluffypony: HeySteve:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pass_laws <-
I think that alone, which was only repealed in 1986, qualifies as such a severe restriction of freedom that it would not be untoward to say that the abolishment of Apartheid brought freedom to certain groups
HeySteve: fluffypony,
I think this freedom / unfreedom thing is a false dichotomy. it's more like there are degrees of freedom and the balance shifted
ThickAsThieves:
i think youve abstracted all application out of the topic
ThickAsThieves: your logic escapes me a bit, but
i guess
i get the gist
fluffypony: bounce:
I'm waiting to see one in the wild ;)
mircea_popescu:
i make it my job to bother people exactly in this manner.
ThickAsThieves: yknow reading your slave article made me realize
i was a bit depressed over the matter
kakobrekla: yes ascii
i already read your blog on monday. the whole.
benkay: ;;later tell mircea_popescu <mircea_popescu> that then makes two for you eh ? <<
i've only outright killed the one.
jurov: yes
i saw..not very good pillow either
ThickAsThieves:
i saw it too, but
i was on my tablet hald asleep so didnt warn you ;)
benkay: ;;later tell mircea_popescu of course
i meant comprised thank you
benkay:
i'm entirely competent with the slang, fluffypony, it's the meaning and significance that's escaping me.
mircea_popescu: this is historically and geographically stable, too.
i have writings from 1880s romania describing the exact same problem
fluffypony:
I know, it's surprising, you'd expect everyone to want to work hard in the Land of Handouts
bounce: anyway, the "hypothetically speaking" was there to say
I wanted to know whether there were any real obstacles for those willing -- that many aren't willing we already know.
kakobrekla: im pretty sure
i dont have to explain it.
mircea_popescu:
i will go as far as to say that no person that has spent one year diligently (4hrs/day) reading this logs can be stupid.
fluffypony: and to be fair,
I understand why they promised those things - they were out of reach because of Apartheid, and the politicians wanted to correct that
fluffypony: so
I think the over-correction is normalising
mircea_popescu: fluffypony as you describe it, the only business
i'd consider running in south africa would be something like kidnapping young women to be transported for sex work or somesuch.
fluffypony:
I'm talking like doctors and programmers and lawyers and chartered accountants and stuff
fluffypony: for instance, in the late 90s the father of a guy
I was in school with had a roofing and tiling business
mircea_popescu: fluffypony well that's what
i said. they get outcompeted. cause stupid.
mircea_popescu: but still "
I never had any of them complain" is a weak counter
fluffypony: well they fish a lot less than the corporates, for sure, but in the many times
I went to the harbour to buy fish
I never had any of them complain to me about restrictions or limits
bounce: that
I'll agree with. but that's politics, and we already more or less established that the politics of there are a bit fscked up
bounce: this is something for fluffypony to eludiate,
I think. whites have been out and about there for a while, true enough.
mircea_popescu: afaik (and
i have no clue, so don't be shy in disabusing me of false notions) it never happened among black people.
mircea_popescu: anyway, from what
i understand, the problem there specifically is that people are stupid, and western style corps are pwning them
ThickAsThieves: and pankakke is better at support than me,
i'll look at my config though
moiety:
i just want to qt to sync
moiety: ThickAsThieves: do
i have to make my own config file for atc? im not an alt person at all
bounce: so
I'd say that the problem looks like corruption and that's got to go. but if you can't even name the problem accurately, then you're spouting nonsense.
bounce:
I'm reminded of that "computers are racist" thing
