mircea_popescu: well she's got
a strong cunt enunciation. .. which is still with the groupo from what i gather.
fluffypony: and indianprincessbride that needed
a free flight to Dar Es Salaam or whatever
benkay: asic resistance is not
a feature, cr
mircea_popescu: "At least in the U.S.,
a massive entertainment industry affords humanities majors with ample job opportunities crafting detergent pitches and scripting vampire romances. But second-tier Europe?" <<< ahahaha so much win.
fluffypony: such
a strong voice in the female community
mircea_popescu: i doubt many appreciate just how huge
a project mmorpgs are.
fluffypony: "Although more speculative, I also believe PINK may be the first to attract more female users. Bitcoin is now home to
a number of strong female voices, yet the alt market still seems to be something of
a dude fest. With PINK’s commitment to funding breast cancer awareness and somewhat androgynous color scheme, I could see PINK being
a first love for women with
a lot of Bitcoin hungry for the returns some of us are already used to."
mircea_popescu: but by the time she's toothless, barren and 24, nobody cares to know whether she thinks she's worth more than $8 and
a beer for
a quickie.
assbot: Why You Should Be
A Pinkcoin Or Hyper Believer |
mircea_popescu: this exactly mirrors the life of the adolescent whore, who may have run away from hgome at 15 to be
a star, and may have enjoyed the freedom her career gave her at 16, when her previous classmates were struggling with school romance and homework
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the sad part about
a life as
a stoolie is this : that once mp blows your cover, your value to your owners decreases dramtically. and while you had been lured into the life with promises of superspydom, well... you gotta do the work such as it is. whether you think yourself better than that or not.
chetty: <mircea_popescu> chetty : that should result in
a bizarre sect of people who wear the doldos non stop and only get to orgasm when the computer is pleased with them.// the field for whole new fetishes is wide open
mircea_popescu: chetty : that should result in
a bizarre sect of people who wear the doldos non stop and only get to orgasm when the computer is pleased with them.
rithm: like
a treasure hunt
chetty: maximize the distance between
a decision-maker and
chetty: VI 52. Bureaucracy is
a construction designed to
fluffypony: mike_c: well...when
a maaaaaan loves
a womaaaaaan
mircea_popescu: what happens at night when you've been away from your wife for
a long time
mircea_popescu: fluffypony i imagine in the not so distant future one'll be able to make
a living helping people present themselves well here.
cr_zoidberg: mircea_popescu: Boolberry - it's anonymus cryptocurrency, originally based on cryptonote technology but with
a lot of innovations.
assbot: Mike Hearn proposes to build vulnerable censorship mechanism into Tor, opposes
a fix for hidden service deanonymization, on Tor mailing list : Bitcoin
mircea_popescu: anyway, so what's the takehome here, banks are now warm enough that the investors are mostly
a liability or what ?
the20year: mircea_popescu: I'm
a good salesman I guess :D
fluffypony: because nobody can use
a mail forwarder
fluffypony: they send you
a postcard with
a code on it
the20year: Now we're at
a point where we really don't need new investment, the business is bringing in upwards of $6k/mo in revenues with $8k/mo on the near horizon, AND banks are getting very warm to us
the20year: I can understand the greif with the .0055 and .0075 IPOs within two months, and they were to meet
a very specific goal - keep my employees with jobs till we were able to partner with
a bank, or maintain sufficient cashflow to keep my employees in houses
the20year: and regardless of what information/proof/data I can provide, i am automatically
a scam
fluffypony: the20year: that sounds like someone threatening to report
a renter on AirBNB to their landlord
the20year: that's
a very real possibility too
the20year: Your guess is as
a good as mine , i guess they assume that him and I are both 100% fraudsters and want to prevent anyone from investing in either of us as the assumption is that we will take all their money
mircea_popescu: so if you add it all up, 15*24 + 50 = 410. which whatever, one could round
a bit, but not all the way to 300 * 24 + 1000 = 8200 for chrissakes. so basically, this guy just priced himself way, way, way the fuck out of the market, and then they wonder why nonsense like uber is successful. well... it's successful because trying to add 2000% padding on your cost structure will never fly and can never fly.
mircea_popescu: this is going to be the fucking end of the us, i swear. talk to guy running
a private eye business for
a project, he wants 1k upfront and 300 an hour for three investigators in two cars. meanwile, car rentals are still 30 to 50
a day (and you should get
a fucking rebate if yu're in the business) and grunts are still happy to make 15 an hour - really, lots of phd kids can't even get the 15 and work at starbucks for 11.2
cr_zoidberg: Hello, I'm known as zoidberg and I'm
a core developer of project Boolberry. I heard about this channel via Bitcrea and Matic Kocevar. We are currently searching for support opportunities for Boolberry. We are the most advanced anonymous cryptocurrency to date,
a modified and improved version of CryptoNote. Here's
a few presentations we recetly released:
mircea_popescu: lol what the fuck, the economist is supposed to work like b-
a now ?
mircea_popescu: throughout industry, maybe if they gave us more information,
a reader would offer to hire her.
mircea_popescu: so if behaviour
a is common in
A and b in B, and
a conveys 90% less germs than b, then germs are 90% less of
a problem in B than
A.
mircea_popescu: sounds like
a literate vor explaining the bаша собственная тюрьма point.
mircea_popescu: ah great bitcoin-assets, thy enigmatic walls so mighty, thy crenelated porticuli so hidden in plain sight behind
a flash of blinding light. how well do you protect thy fruit, how pleasant warmth to be within thy belly, what delight.
mircea_popescu: now they must clearl hold less than 1%, so 12%
a day is needed.
mircea_popescu: back when they held
a third to half the bitcoin in circulatiuon, 7%
a week was good enough.
mike_c: kakobrekla: that is for investment. and the going rate seems to be 12%
a day
mike_c: bitcoinpete is
a pretty good bitcoin-assets marketer. perhaps i can convince him to write tweet about WoL ;)
mike_c: i am far from convinced it is
a good idea. but how do you get word out to lots of bitcoiners? not in the finance niche, more in the mass market.
rithm: cesspool is
a good word to describe bitcointalk.org
mike_c: <+mircea_popescu> mike_c: the forum is.. toxic. << i thought you wanted to be there. << gross exaggeration. it is certainly not
a place to go to discuss business. it is perhaps still good advertising to find customers.
mircea_popescu: essentially, turning the economy into "an economy of attention" was
a fatal (if forced) mistake. without attention as
a side channel organised work becomes impossible.
mircea_popescu: i mean, the expenditure of keeping clear channels empty... good god. how do you distinguish between someone screaming rape ironically and someone being raped ? and how do you keep
a bunch of assholes from flooding THAT channel with spam ?
FabianB: no, gribble has
a whitelist of channels for ;;guide
carderplay: i begin to suspect that this place ifs filled with
a bunch of bots
gribble: Error: "guide" is not
a valid command.
gribble: Error: "guido" is not
a valid command.
gribble: Error: "manul" is not
a valid command.
gribble: Error: "guide" is not
a valid command.
rithm: then take
a selfie
mircea_popescu: the20year: fell through, every thing that could have gone wrong to work with them fell through and i essentially took it as
a sign not to do the deal << sensible.
fluffypony: he popped in
a short while after that, all sorted
mircea_popescu: mike_c: fluffypony: he's popped in
a couple times looking for you. i think he's going to drop in this morning too << later tell, neh ?
mircea_popescu: mike_c i thought it was
a parody of that chick, yeah, on springer.
kuzetsa: I suspect there's
a meme associated with that quote
kuzetsa: creation of that particular sound wasn't
a sponsored project
kuzetsa: ... doubly so, since it's not
a naturally occuring sound an unlikely to be mistaken for ambient noise
kuzetsa: ThickAsThieves: it also makes for
a good alarm sound, since when played on most speakers, at least 1 or 2 of the frequencies will "carry" decently and be within the frequency range detectable by human ears, even in cases where someone has hearing loss in one or more frequency ranges
mike_c: kakobrekla: it sounds like
a laser pistol that has about 10 shots left before dying.
brighton36: No one important.
A journalist and programmer
brighton36: hah - what
a vip I am. Thank-you assbot
kuzetsa: ThickAsThieves: since you're niot likely to guess what that sound is for --- it's
a bunch of frequencies which can be played on nearly any speaker, headphones, etc. and be used to demonstrate what the frequency response is for that particular equipment... except it's quick (VERY fast) compared to an audio test CD or something (doesn't require multiple seconds)
mircea_popescu: from
a moral standpoint, too : i don't really see why i should fix
a monthly wage. let them get half-ish of their work's worth.
kakobrekla: now that you mention it, it does remind of
a space balls laser sound
mircea_popescu: gotta show
a profit, which means someone somewhere's gotta show
a loss.
mircea_popescu: let the government give out food stamps, i dont give
a shit.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform unless one is
a thermodynamics gaylord, it is irrelevant what living costs. you're running
a business, not
a charity. except in the us, of course, where all the <del>corporations</del> usg sponsored charities foul up the market, and with it, the culture and people's heads.
mircea_popescu: kuzetsa so you're
a sound engineer for milenial pop bands.
kuzetsa: stable harmonics and
a "rich" resonance & such is usually what makes
a musical insturment sounds nice
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, i find it very entertaining that in the vast majority of cases people wanting
a job or
a raise argue for their income on the terms of what living costs, rent and whatnot. who the hell ever heard of that, i have no idea.
mircea_popescu: most teenaged student chicks would run you about three to five hundred
a month all included. so that's almost 3 people in their twenties i nthat 1300.
kuzetsa: ThickAsThieves: I've done some procedural generation and engineering of sounds which are unlikely to occur in nature -- stuff like
a modulated frequency sweep vaguely based on the harmonics of
a bell, but with "strange" harmonics which probably aren't possible without having some rather unlikely (inplausible, might-be-impossible) materials which don't have
a stable natural resonance
