mircea_popescu: "The problem here is not the diagnosis, which I share, nor the proposed solutions, which are proper and potent to repel the growing democratic sickness that chokes human creation. Bitcoin provides us

dub: you're not wired back to
a full CO anymore and the cabinet has no better battery than

Mats_cd03: poor cell tower coverage, necessary to have
a working phone in an emergency (e.g. elderly person), zombie apocalypse, etc
dub: nobody has
a hardline these days so its
a valid offering
mircea_popescu: on one hand, the legal principle that dorks

jurov: how it is
a gain to the govt? slovak one, not russian
mircea_popescu: whereas pork costs 3 to produce, and every kilo sold is
a 10 gain to the government.
mircea_popescu: except, the beef costs 48 to produce, and every kilo sold is

mircea_popescu: so currently, the situation is that in the marketplace,
a kilo of beef costs 11 and
a kilo of pork costs 13

a AncientAliensBTC: How does betting later affect my odds? Say I bet 1 BTC (as the site shows) with
a 3.5 BTC payout. How much will I cash in on my early betting vs lose out to my position becoming more popular/dilute other side?

a lot of action, you should do well.

pankkake: wow, so it was
a photo of know people in the school? and they thought they could get away with it?
TheNewDeal: while I was going there, my school got caught photoshopping
a black person into

mircea_popescu: decimation: why would they be able to accomplish anything "evil" well? <<
