mircea_popescu: "people", ie, nobodies who got in in 2013 got in at
a time their meagre disposable income already made it impossible for them to matter.
bitcoinpete: so
a lot of people who got into bitcoin in 2011 and got raped by pirate are gone forever
mircea_popescu: but this idiot with
a flashy car tells her how he's gonna make her
a singer-actresss
mircea_popescu: no, more like we tell that Columbia girl that the best future for her is on her two knees and with
a welted butt in our household
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete consider the case of
a street where some idiot builds an unstable skyscraper.
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: other than just having
a mountain of coins and the ability to dispense of them erratically, how does pirate impact you?
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> from
a different angle: why no cheap factorygurlz in usa? because the 'candidates' are instead paid to sit and wank << false. the cheap factorygirlz in china come from families which have cared enough about them to invested beatings and other very valuable time.
mircea_popescu: consider group 1 of 50 idiots who "invested" with pirate, thus creating for me the problem of there existing
a pirate, something im still dealing with.
benkay: i'm living through
a fog of back pain today so forgive the retardation
benkay: <asciilifeform> it isn't wasted 'correctly' though. it ends up feeding folks who ought to have gone hungry // <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform that's the minor part of the binomial. the major part is that it is removed from folks who shouldn't have had it. // wait how is taking the money from people who shouldn't have it and giving it to others who shouldn't have had it either not subtracting
a from x and then adding
a back to x?
mircea_popescu: which is kinda why the headlines read like they did,
a few years ago. "x bank writes off y bilions"
mircea_popescu: the most important economic activity in
a runaway inflation macroeconomy is the writing off of bad debts.
mircea_popescu: of course, actually wasting money is
a net positive for the us system.
mircea_popescu: the problem with kickstarter and the shit trying to copy it isn't that it wastes
a lot of money, but that it wastes it pointlessly.
mircea_popescu: assbot: Kickstarter project spent $3.5M to finish
a working prototypeand ended in disaster | Ars Technica << punkman to be fair, that's not really either important or making
a lot of sense. sometimes prototypes fail, which is why they're called prototypes. i don't think you can find any item which didn't have millions "wasted" in prototyping
fluffypony: that sounds like "I shat
a bunch of words out because I'm high"
BingoBoingo: bitcoinpete: If you thing bitcoind takes up
a lot of hard drive space though...
bitcoinpete: fluffypony: "1. passes kept in
a plaintext file" << those kids
benkay: awesome mike_c you're
a scholar
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: exactly for the reason and through the mechanisms any good investment is its own limiting factor. << this is
a thought
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: if you want the babes to be REALLY impressed with your car, then it would be
a pretty sweet thing. << like london. can't park your zonda anywhere
bitcoinpete: TheNewDeal: on
a similar note, I just used Lyft for the first time last week, and it worked out without
a kidnapping << that's what they want you to think
benkay: armory is
a gui-only thing, right?
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: kako is
a graybeard despite his tender years << nao i want to dox the guy, find out how tender...
mike_c: the bet is logged at 16:26 today, i assume that is GMT? Lebron tweeted
a link to the sports illustrated article at 16:31, I assume it had been published more than 5 minutes earlier.
mike_c: it has held up because the exchange rate has been so stable. the guy doesn't seem like
a scammer, or even incompetent. it would be
a good investment if bitcoin didn't exist.
BingoBoingo: So Lebron signed with Cincinnati, or Cleveland. Which ever C town in hell has
a basketball team
pankkake: "In
a future where Bitcoin is popular and pervasive, Bitcoin mining is about much more than mining for profit."
los_pantalones: ;;rate jdoubleu 1 your go-to guy for
a manhattan, white russian, and trip to dolls
jdoubleu: interested in learning more about bitcoin, invited by los pants. planned to lurk for
a bit
pankkake: that guy is
a forum retard who invests in every available scam
fluffypony: danielpbarron: is this the thing that happened
a little while ago where some dude's account got hacked whilst he was on
a plane and asked for money to trade?
danielpbarron: "Also, klee has put
a bounty out of 500 BTC for anyone who can track down the funds (1170 BTC) and retrieve them."
danielpbarron: "This is reddit front-page material - I suggest
a concerted effort there: With somebody posting, and the community timely upvoting."

a Car-Ownership Alternative"

mircea_popescu: think about it... every new human has the same basic needs, but as you keep adding them to the long end of stupidity they don't actually add
a full measure of attention.
mircea_popescu: if you want the babes to be REALLY impressed with your car, then it would be
a pretty sweet thing.

BingoBoingo: Right now here it is
a nice 18.3333 C Tomorrow it is only supposed to get up to 29 C
BingoBoingo: The thing about betting for
a negative is that even if nextchange is estimated negative the first many days of
a period, new hash is going to bleed all over your whites the last couple days
TheNewDeal: was hoping for
a negative, no clue why
BingoBoingo: But how does it taste? Usually it takes some work to make
a Capon Aviagen sent
a team of scientists to Sanderson last autumn to study the issue and has acknowledged that an undisclosed change it made to the breed's genetics made the birds "very sensitive" to being overfed, he said.

a kidnapping
TheNewDeal: decimation "When they left their meeting there, they thought about taking Uber, but the wait was too long, so they took
a cab instead."
decimation: "

ThickAsThieves: "The next day we noticed that our most popular article on the entire site, the "The $22,484.00 Butterfly Labs Mini Rig bitcoin miner is

a sexy Bitcoin mining machine."

mike_c: this trilema post needs
a OTP to decode, yes?
TheNewDeal: it's not betting on
a full time win, is it?

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves re the uif thing, best part is their raport of activity. it has
