mircea_popescu: if you buy a future and the thing fails there's many ways to put it, but they all boil down to "you're screwed".
mircea_popescu: in any case, one generally buys a future if they expect the thing to work well, not to fail.
mike_c: wait, was that a meta-insult?
mircea_popescu: canada hasn't had a good musician since cohen visited and the us...
mircea_popescu: im not sure if shitty contemporary bands should be given 10k in grants to derp quietly in a corner at their craft or just be medicated worth 10k for possesion.
nubbins`: that's the thing about grants, you get blacklisted if you don't produce (a) your work and (b) your receipts
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: The 2k minimum is to avoid the situation where they buy exactly the number of cd's they have friends to pester and need pod cd's twice a month for a decade.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: yeah, i've got a copy somewhere
nubbins`: one of our regular customers was awarded a $10k grant last year to record an album
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well I figured I'd throw a quote out there just in case some "band" has parents with more coin than sense
mircea_popescu: not VERY profitable, but a lot of fun.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo there exist no indie bands which can afford a 10 btc expenditure on life saving surgery

nubbins`: just looking for a fresh perspective, glad to see we're all in agreement 8)
nubbins`: this is a silkscreen printing studio, not a cd dupe centre
mike_c: it's like a miner!
nubbins`: it's hard to say because a lot of bands are doing vinyl or download cards these days instead of cds. ballpark guess, might get 1000 cds duped over the next year
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla's idea goes a long way towards that. "3k, cause they're prepaid"
nubbins`: just happened to be making some cd cases for a band and they wanted discs printed, idly wondering if we'd want to duplicate em too
BingoBoingo finds it interesting that in a few years on patent Atypical Antipsychotics will dry up, and the next pivot isn't apparent on the horizon yet.
mircea_popescu: we're trying to build a great future here and you gotta throw simple element wrenches into the windows
BingoBoingo: dub> they give lithium in cases of extreme psychosis << Also they don't really give lithium much for psychosis anymore which is a shame considering how well it works...
BingoBoingo: dub: Not just then, low dose lithium can work well for a person when their brain is just running a little hot.
mircea_popescu: "experience being old for a day!"
midnightmagic: i didn't know until afterwards that the water was contaminated. they sell it as a health spa.
midnightmagic: it's horrible literally being unable to move faster than a walk after sitting in those waters too long
midnightmagic: There's a spot near me where the hotsprngs have naturally-occurring lithium in them.
midnightmagic: my mistake the show is called "A Bite Of China" but damned if I can find the episode now :)

midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: pure salt is. The impurities give it the weird extra flavours. I mean some I'm not cool with. There's this weird black salt that has a lot of sulphur in it.
midnightmagic: there are some weird salts that are hand-mined and prepared in china too. They highlight one in a show called "Taste of China".
dub: theres a place up the road that does that bread and og dumplings
midnightmagic: you just have to know a chinese person. I got some great stuff smuggled out. :-D
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo grab a chick'n while at it.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` lawyer is a noun. get it ? A NOUN. you don't want it to sue you.,

mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> What was Hearn's nick? << i don't recall he ever managing to figure out the gpg arcana. i imagine he'll first have to implement a google code version, that doesn't work.
assbot: The Producers -- Hitler...there was a painter - YouTube
mircea_popescu: which shouldn't be surprising : anyone can be a very ambitious failed painter or w/e mediocrity.
benkay: BingoBoingo: is this ether coin a btc fork or...
mircea_popescu: this is a dispute where a consumate gofer (ie, gmaxwell) is trying to veer their naivity into some sort of political relevance for himself, gets called out and then stomped out.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, this isn't in any sense a dispute pitting flaming social justice warriors and other braindamaged kids trying to make the world "liberal" a la copumpkin against cold hard reality.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo a whole btc. not a succession of 5.997 2.997 etc etc.
BingoBoingo: Well, it was just last week the link dropped here of an aspiring HYIP scammer who lost a whole BTC to malware he though would let him cheat a pasted together gambling site.
BingoBoingo: mike_c: Yeah, a big problem in this space is still sound/look a like names.
mike_c: BingoBoingo: yeah, it didn't seem completely retarded. i had attached some of that feeling to this ethereum thingy. didn't realize it was just a complete nothing.
BingoBoingo: Ah. Electrum wallet (split into online and offline components like armory) plus one's own electrum server actually doesn't seem like a bad wallet solution atm
mike_c: jurov is a big fan. unless i dreamt all this.
BingoBoingo: Then it will pretend to be a something before becoming a nothing again
BingoBoingo: mike_c: Well, so far it is a nothing
mike_c: isn't ethereum a wallet or something?
BingoBoingo: Wait, there's a wallet thing that does that?
mircea_popescu: wait. that boy actually is... a girl http://www.upstategirls.org/images/Jodie/jodie_2500px-003.jpg ?!
BingoBoingo: "I would encourage you to finish before the majority of your committee members retire. (seriously.)" << Roflmao, I know a between one and two hand full of countable fingers of these people.
mircea_popescu: this guy could be a 2012 bitcoin miner.
mircea_popescu: http://www.slate.com/content/dam/slate/blogs/behold/2014/06/Troy/Robert%20Stocklas_2013.jpg.CROP.original-original.jpg << check out the punctured oil heater with a jimmy rigged power connection.
mircea_popescu: http://www.slate.com/content/dam/slate/blogs/behold/2014/06/Troy/lawrence_2007.jpg.CROP.original-original.jpg <<< i bet this filename was created on a windows.win.windows.xp.windows system
bitstein: I'll pass on a draft later on. I have school in the way right now.

mircea_popescu: bitstein perhaps going a little too far.
FoOdies: I'll consider a shpaga when I meet you
mircea_popescu: find the us guy that wil tell a bum what to do, how to speak and so on.
mircea_popescu: a passerby was like "shut up!" all aggro.
mircea_popescu: and it's really universal. i was out one night here, and a bum (there's tons of bums in buenos aires, they have matresses in the street and whatnot) started howling. like 3 am.
mircea_popescu: ie, they're firm in the notion that nothing in their hand can be of value. a sort of reverse-midas mentality.
BingoBoingo: <FoOdies> true but I doubt people who've been to an interrecial intersex interspecies orgy are interested in reading any porn << if only you knew what a hassel these things are to set up...
mircea_popescu: and this is why a lot of other things.
mircea_popescu: bitstein basically the idea is that a whole generation of mutton has been raised to abhor actual power, and to readily insist it must be traded in for power tokens.
bitstein: mircea_popescu: Oh yes! I need to re-read it, but that was a great TLP article.
FoOdies: why would I need to read about other retards' mishaps when I have a first have experience with fbi+mi5+sri
BigBitz: mircea_popescu: BattleField Hardline. I was just making a funny.
mircea_popescu: a fine excerpt is in there. ballas does a great job of doing the psychiatric basics of it
mircea_popescu: https://medium.com/matter/the-martyrdom-of-weev-9e72da8a133d << this is kinda weird bullshit. as far as mah sources tell me, weev is fundamentally a guy of strange habits and little computing capcity who just had the guts to publish material some other guy actually produced. he is in any sense a front, not a hacker.
gribble: Error: "getrust" is not a valid command.
gribble: Error: 'Altcoin' is not a valid price input.

BingoBoingo: ;;8ball how much does a petahash of mining hardware sell for anyways
thickasthieves: just need a better group
mircea_popescu: "we have the community, it just so happens to be a community of worthless retards. o noes!"
thickasthieves: "What we don't have is a service or good which is unique to Doge which offers such an incentive to use the currency that Fiat will not dare pee on our post." full circle
BingoBoingo: Posting memes and jokes won't do. We have the community, and we have the social media reach. What we don't have is a service or good which is unique to Doge which offers such an incentive to use the currency that Fiat will not dare pee on our post."
BingoBoingo: Once more, as a reminder, we need to create a reason for people to want to buy in into Dogecoin, and for whales to hold their stash.
