wywialm: google richard koo, if i recall correcty
mircea_popescu: bounce i would guess when it eventually sells it'll be something like 500k-1mn btc
wywialm: i remember some economists claiming that e.g. Japan couldn't inflate any further by printing money
mircea_popescu: chinese banks were built that way briefly in the 70s, i would guess.
mircea_popescu: i don't see that claim.
wywialm: i don't believe china would need a pretext if they were sufficiently prepared
wywialm: i once gave it (the china matter) a thought, and currently i believe it is to weak a claim. in case of default, china would get much much more hurt than us
mircea_popescu: wywialm we were talking fo the {1%, 99%} set I thought
mircea_popescu: wywialm this is why i made my linearity objeciton. it won't collapse because of "cracks". it will collapse because all the people that matter are fucking sick of it.
wywialm: mircea_popescu, still i don't see how currently visible and not visible but suspected cracks might bring down us
dexX7: anyway. i'm away again, thanks and bye :)
Naphex: for cooking, was named after him i think
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I have constant issues with customers marking order updates as spam accidentally/on purpose, have that happen a few times and suddenly all customers stop getting emails from your domain
mircea_popescu: fluffypony srsly ? wtf does it do ? i was just deriding it yest.
asciilifeform: (cover of an old uni textbook i had)
fluffypony: dexX7: I'm guessing, of course, I may be wrong
bounce: and, I don't think russia is quite done yet.
dexX7: i guess: yes
dexX7: i set the ns records of the hop in the domain settings and the intermediate simply redirects the mails
wywialm: bounce, surely, but the ussr collapse, which is (as i noticed) main reference point now, lead to less centralization
dexX7: can anyone tell me how google and other providers handle email rejections? i have some trouble with a hoster which i'm using as intermediate hop to relay my mails.. and currently every request/mail is rejected. service said they'll fix it "in the next 24 hours" -.-"
dignork: mircea_popescu: I talked with Spondoolies-Tech CEO, he'll try to get to this channel later tonight, if you have any specific questions I can forward then in the meantime
benkay: near eletricity generation sites, i'm hoping.
wywialm: i can imagine us collapse in the sense of it falling apart with some central power still serving the debt etc - not very realistic scenario, sure. I just wanted to ask to be sure
bounce: I don't see it. I was saying to map it, do linear regression on it.
mircea_popescu: Naphex aite send me mail from its domain i'll give you a 1 rating
mircea_popescu: bounce i think your methodology is broken, in that it assumes a sort of linear scalability. broken government is not akin to broken windows.
mircea_popescu: bounce im not sure i follow your thought.
mircea_popescu: wywialm same way it was possible in the case of the ussr, i guess.
mircea_popescu: the russians don't agree, but i would say the way the soviet union collapsed is the right way to collapse.
bounce: that sounds like what I'd been thinking already: they're looking for excuses to dislike, instead of just admitting they don't like that party
mircea_popescu: neilol i meant Neil. you, i think you'll have to get into the wot first
neilol: i'll figure it out
neilol: not sure of the process but if i need it
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo anyway, what i meant was teh gun is pretty cheap considering it's a .5 bolt
thestringpuller: https://github.com/adobe/source-code-pro - downloading fonts from github...dunno how I should feel about this...
joecool: mircea_popescu: i must have misread, i thought trilema was just EU-registered
mircea_popescu: in the eu too i mean
joecool: mircea_popescu: for a US trademark, i think it cost ~$400 or so
mircea_popescu: granted i've not reg'd any in years, but they were about the same back in the day
mircea_popescu: joecool somehow i doubt that.
TestingUnoDosTre: Oh my I love the term USBS. please use moar often
mircea_popescu: it doesn't pay to ignore what i say, and i'm definitely going to be enforcing THAT part.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: was that costly? I'm an Italian citizen, wife is German, so I can register an EU trademark instead of the shitty meaningless South African one
mircea_popescu: so today i got to send them a notice that they either self-destruct and apologize or else i'm suing them. in, obviouisly, romanian court.
mircea_popescu: soo, some twerps in spain decided "trilema" sounds kinda cool, started a foundation whatever. i sent them a friendly note about six months ago pointing out that it's a registered trademark and they're playing with fire. which they ignored.
fluffypony: "hey dawg, I heard you like data, so we bought some data so we could put your data inside the data"
joecool: i suppose it's easier than paying for the development of a new internal tool
mircea_popescu: i knew all you labradorian/newfoundlandians are weird. sexually speaking.
joecool: i got to know him awhile back from his kernel patchset, his main coding hobby before bitcoin was rewriting the linux cpu sched
nubbins`: moments later, i realized it *is* doing whippets until you pass out
nubbins`: after struggling for a bit, i said "it's like doing whippets until you pass out"
nubbins`: i remember trying to describe being gassed for my tonsil removal
mircea_popescu: afaik he did in fact pay a hefty sum back i nthe day (btc was like 5 bux then or something). all those posts are beleeted now, but they were riotous
fluffypony: so, how do I get a piece of this action?
fluffypony: "The fact that people like MPOE-PR, Deprived, and pankkake were paid to say I was a scammer and lie about me didn't help either."
ThickAsThieves: which i didnt finish
TestingUnoDosTre: But I drove out there to ski, so I could take home extra
mircea_popescu: uh i mean https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BlQzuRVIgAAhl_U.jpg
pankkake: well, I'm saying romanians to tease, in France it's gypsies/roms/whatever
bounce: I s'pose there's the demand side
mircea_popescu: how the fuck can copper drop ? i mean gold, i get it, political interest, fake bla bla bla, whatever. ok. but copper ?!
mircea_popescu: bout 5% off. some arb opportunity i guess. Naphex what's the confirmation process like ?
pankkake: I hope it's to honor Ron Paul!
ThickAsThieves: i just lost my copy of Anathema, i was just getting started :(
Naphex: mircea_popescu: romanian bitcoin->ron exchange where i slave during the day ;]
TestingUnoDosTre: I just listened to the book on audio and its probably one of my favorite science fiction

kakobrekla: meh i wouldnt risk it
pankkake: ok, I'm worst
steven-__: what has pretty good forums but in general i'm over the genre almost made some DIY speaker last year
kakobrekla: and i was 'sassing' some mod, they took my avatar rights as a reward.
pankkake: I have been stuck in elite for years, yet I'm close
kakobrekla: i got to be tm for a short bit, but then lost the will and got degraded to elite :|
pankkake: I upload new stuff and seed forever, never had to worry about anything
kakobrekla: tbh i have been helping by not seeding for last 2 years or so
kakobrekla: i mean, you can not describe it.
pankkake: i guess it's easy to cheat on the interview
steven-__: so when i came back to what i was blown away at how much better it was
steven-__: yea i had an account around the time oink ended but ended up using waffles and tt
pankkake: what's your username kakobrekla? (I'm simply pankkake as I am everywhere)
pankkake: I blog posted about it? or comment maybe
kakobrekla: steven-__ i did about 0.5k or so interviews for what btw.
nubbins`: i ended up removing the Hobo typeface from that one i shared ;(

ThickAsThieves: how do i bash the past?
ThickAsThieves: btw i loved your definition of fine
pankkake: anyway, I'm usually going out to not smoke
TestingUnoDosTre: If you consider coat avoidance, I'm quite sure it would cost more to keep a,non smoker living in their latter years
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> just 'cause i'm a liberal doesn't mean i suffer fools ;D << wait wait. what sort of scamliberal are you ?! THAT IS THE DEFINITION!
nubbins`: just 'cause i'm a liberal doesn't mean i suffer fools ;D

nubbins`: wait, i encourage people? ;(
