a fatfinger. reminder #240 to always have an order on the books.
benkay: and this guy's making
a muhmorperger?
benkay: <DreadKnight> I still hope that someday php will be usable system wide, like python, not just in
a specific directory // ahahahahaha
mircea_popescu: did someone fatfinger or did someone hire
a forum muppet for investment advice ?
the20year: I'm loving the facebook page thing, it's to the point we're getting half
a dozen to
a dozen rental applications before our properties in rehab are done
benkay: not because
a webui woulda cost more?
benkay: <decimation> statelessness has
a quality all its own // see, mircea_popescu? state sucks. cause of much woe.
mircea_popescu: benkay not
a bad idea baking that in there i dont think yes.
mike_c: <+mircea_popescu> you presume there's
a way to live your own life outside of slavery. there actually isn't.
mircea_popescu: you do get to live
a role, i guess. be
a good mom/wife/consumer/we
mircea_popescu: you presume there's
a way to live your own life outside of slavery. there actually isn't.
mircea_popescu: the pool you can select wives from is already the pool of the women too [insert here] to have
a master.
mircea_popescu: aren't you in
a much better position to correctly evaluate it ?
mike_c: try this. axiom (for this case): woman is right, you are wrong. who has
a better chance of changing your mind/behavior? slave eventually is told to stfu and will do so.
mircea_popescu: the fact that
a wife is relatively safe, in her person and property makes the relationship much alike to that with
a dog. which dog, in it's bestial stupidity, is also relatively safe.
mircea_popescu: you get to discover just how stupid you are, in short order, and
a wife's no substitute.
mircea_popescu: did this harrowing emotional experience constitute an opportunity for them to grow, as
a person ?
mircea_popescu: did it even happen that you were privy to
a case where they fucked up ? for w/e reason, they made the wrong call, resulting in
a lot of trouble for
a patient ?
mircea_popescu: let me go at it
a different angle. you ever were good friends with
a good doctor ? i mean, practicing seriously,
a good one.
mircea_popescu: you want me to answer
a negative ? she shouldn't presume becauise it;'s not her place.
mircea_popescu: mike_c that she's
a slave does not preclude her being your intellectual equal.
mircea_popescu: applying "no pain no gain" in reverse, obviously there's also
a lot more upside with the slave.
mircea_popescu: take it this way : there's
a lot less you can be spectacularly wrongabout with the wife.
A LOT LESS.
mike_c: you don't have
a wife.
mike_c: and i don't want
a dog. different strokes.
fluffypony: mike_c: true that...I guess we want it to be
a bit more of
a "sure thing" when embarking on
a 20 year project that will consume nearly all our time and money ;)
mike_c: it is
a gamble. more upside with
a good kid than
a good dog.
fluffypony: rithm: isn't
a jury supposed to be made up of your peers? so then his jury is going to be made up of Karpeles and the "dev teams" behind MaidSafe and Ethereum?
mike_c: you pay $500,000 to have
a cute little thing that loves you for 10 years, hates you for 8, and then hopefully respects you after that.
chetty: if more people really understood babies grow into teens there would not be
a population problem
rithm: pirate wants
a jury trial
fluffypony: either way, we've realised we're too selfish as
a couple to consider children, and I doubt that will change in future
mike_c: kids aren't supposed to be
a profitable economic activity.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla can i send you my cv ? maybe there's
a job opening somewhere, bit4x ?
mircea_popescu: mike_c only if it's
a self-supporting economic activity.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla ow shit, guy posting on the forum just annulled half
a million btc worth of paper.
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves this is the benefit of aging. you start to realise your time is worth more than money. <<
a lesson few, even more aged, grok. intentionally i often suspect, as they're too unimaginative to find better uses for their time
bitcoinpete: "North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is reportedly furious about
a Chinese viral video that photoshops him into all manner of ridiculous scenarios: dancing, brawling, riding
a pig, frolicking with Osama Bin Laden, and generally being made
a laughingstock by Obama and Putin."
mircea_popescu: it gives
a bad impression of social mobility to the workers.
mircea_popescu: they couldn't give
a bad mark to someone they had admitted.
bitcoinpete: asciilifeform i had the good fortune of going to
a larger canadian uni, saving me from such poisonous offerings
chetty: <asciilifeform> bitcoinpete: this (as discussed in the log) is not
a thing in every u.s. uni, but only at the 'ivy' ones (most expensive, direct ladder to the lizardocracy)//trickle down will get there
assbot:
A useful list of things pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
bitcoinpete: "The median grade at Harvard College is an
A-, and the most frequently awarded mark is an
A, Dean of Undergraduate Education Jay M. Harris said on Tuesday afternoon"
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: you're not being accused. you've just been convicted. that's all. << Luke-Jr, of being
a banana
mircea_popescu: well, need is relative. they could use it, sure.
a good beating's cheaper.
mircea_popescu: basically the advent of the internet talkhole has resulted in
a lot of people trying to save on talk psychiatry.
chetty: <mike_c> wow, 5 months blows by quick. chetty, when's v0.0.5?//been
a little distracted lately, hopefully soon
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete there've been
a few people inquiring here, but none actually put fat on the line.
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: pigeons: wow really they are already trying to damage control the 1% of the press they get that isn't positive? and from
a bitcoinpete (no offense lol) blog post? << the 1% happens to be what matters in this field. << pimps matter in every field
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: pankkake: natalie portman is
a jew? I always knew something was off with her << only on the mother's side. << still counts, of course, and
a +ev strategy for it to be so. my father isn't one of the "chosen people," though he's still… frugal
DreadKnight: even if WoW requires pumping money into, there are quite
a few players who use WoW to make money, yeah, might not be in an official way like bitcoins, but still
mircea_popescu: benkay we wish you
a merry fu! we wish you
a merry fu! and
a happy neeeeew looooog!
mircea_popescu: ima keep going "there's
a lot you don't know yet" at this poor guy or what.
mircea_popescu: mike_c buildings being worked on. but
a new package not so far off.
DreadKnight: there are
a few extra creditz episodes on youtube why new mmorpg's don't make it as in they can't compete with WoW etc
DreadKnight: mmorpgs are beasts to make and they require massive amount of players, the main issue that breaks or makes mmo's is that they keep being rpg's and have
a lot of competition, also, there's the peer pressure;
a lot of players stick to
a certain mmorpg because their friends keep playing them, getting them to switch would mean also making friends to switch at the same time
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, you could have posted
a screenie with that eulora blog post :D
mircea_popescu: ( asciilifeform ever tried playing h2/h3 with
a girl ? ever found one to consistently beat you ? )
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight well there's
a lot you don't understand (yet) :p
mircea_popescu: fluffypony trilema started in 2008. and since then, i've written > 1 article
a day, each day, every day.
mircea_popescu: (and when they do get close to bonds, disasters
a la daikatana happen. it's very important to have good supervision, key to success.)
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight you won't get
a bond as nobody. not even major players in the industry get bonds.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you ever tried playing mm6/7 with
a girl ?
DreadKnight: wait, why am I seeing
a picture of fluffypony's wife? xD
DreadKnight: jurov, was more keen on giving
a fixed percentage back from the investment with time, besides the investment itself ofc; I'm not really into stock market, but I guess that would be fine, I could always buy the dividends myself at some point :D
DreadKnight: seen quite
a few people wanting to make
a homm clone, but nobody was quite up for walking the walk
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight dude's not
a game dev, he's like
a corporate ladder climber.
fluffypony: I don't have
a project, I'm semi-retired
DreadKnight: fluffypony, on
a desktop atm, but would definitely recommend
a ChromeBook to my parents and other people within
a year or so
mircea_popescu: that's the flagship game of s.mg, it's
a proper mmorpg.
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, is that one of your projects or
a game you funded?
assbot: Gamasutra: Daniel Cook's Blog -
A single game as
a lifelong hobby
DreadKnight: the answer: I'm trying to make an evergreen type of game, with high replay value, that will also get new content and features over the years; so it's not like an oldschool published game, where you got
a finished product with 40 hours of gameplay and then it gets stacked on the shelf
mike_c: this is not rocket science. they just took out
a "mortgage" to pay for college. why would they want another one?
artifexd: I come back from Ecuador and realize that they just banned bitcoin entirely because they're going to make their own cryptocurrency. I guess my wife was right all along when she said Correa was
a dumb ass.
