mircea_popescu: mike_c, seems
a distinction devoid of difference, entirely made out of your own interest.
mircea_popescu: if this isn't
a sad exercise into becoming everything you've hated about the stupidity of your parents
mircea_popescu: meanwhile that progressive left has ossified into
a "silent majority", and... well... trolls are burning black men much to their display.
mircea_popescu: "behaviour" is
a cop out. the tendency is to put meaning into objects, which is
a task for they who've hunted snipes successfully.
mircea_popescu: <Naphex> funny they let me in everywhere dressed in anything when they see my pockets filled with cash ^.^ << this guy has
a real cash fetish :D
benkay: <Naphex> see benkay knows how to infiltrate // it's
a joo thing
benkay: <Naphex> see benkay knows how to infiltrate // it's
a joo
fluffypony: for
a moment I was hoping that was on the forum
davout: i mean, the whole baker thing sounds pretty retarded anyway, if i went to
a baker that refuses jews i wouldn't insist on giving him business
davout: mircea_popescu: "which is why there should be no higher power than
a baker" <<< such amen
danielpbarron: mike_c, I am pro-slavery and I don't argue it from
a racial point of view
mike_c: "so what" is that
a lot of people don't find racism/sexism/homophobia something to simply be ignored.
danielpbarron: nobody is entitled to the service of having
a wedding cake made for them
danielpbarron: just to clarify, I don't have
a problem with blacks, but so what? if you don't like that someone hates blacks then don't do business with them
chetty: I once had to go to
a racism class when I was pregnant, some derp said something about pregnant and barefoot women in the kitchen so I took my shoes off and said 'which way?'
mike_c: danielpbarron: you going to have
a rule against black figurines on your cakes too?
Mats_cd03: that war chest needs about three more zeros to make
a difference
TomServo: Isn't the real humor re: the gay cake the fact that this ruling occurred in
a state in which gay marriage is illegal?
danielpbarron: how can you even tell the cake is for
a gay wedding? i'm guess it has two groom figurines on the top; is it against the law to have
a rule that no cake may have two male figurines on top?
mircea_popescu: which is why there should be no higher power than
a baker
benkay: but the baker answers to
a higher power
mircea_popescu: led retarded kids with no negative feedback in
a positive feedback loop
mircea_popescu: <benkay> re: gay bakery - don't ever tell anyone why you're refusing to do business with them. 'this just isn't
a good deal for me. thanks for your interest. << hyou know this is how the VC circus was born right ? bankers thinking it imprident to laugh in the face of "businessmen"
mike_c: meh, i don't think it works irl. just make the guy
a cake. wtf does the baker care? you don't go to hell for making gay cakes.
mike_c: that doesn't work for
a bakery. you can't serve 10 customers cake and then tell the black guy "this isn't
a good deal for me".
benkay: re: gay bakery - don't ever tell anyone why you're refusing to do business with them. 'this just isn't
a good deal for me. thanks for your interest.'
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: mike_c, consider one of the safeguards is used and bricks
a generation of asics. << like moving to sha512 or…?
bitcoinpete: so i sent an email back to his otc email,
a different one than the he'd previously sent from and… message delayed/lost in ether
bitcoinpete: lol usagi sent me
a cleartext email the same day he negrated me
benkay: <mircea_popescu> gotta love people that send you gpg mail and dutifully include
a complete summary in the subject line // even better are cleartext responses quoting the original message
benkay: <mircea_popescu> im gonna consider sponsoring some people i don't know, because i have no friends and don't know anybody. // this is the same problem i have with figuring out which trade shows to attend. i can't find
a pattern to which ones produce leads, so i have to make
a bunch of mistakes and learn to sniff out the frauds myself.
mike_c: not only is some dumbass trying to bet after the event, but he bets
a whopping 20 cents.
benkay: then i bought from
a pro. using laptops.
benkay: it was awesome. much lectures on understanding what the fuck you're playing with and how it's not
a fucking toy were dispensed.
benkay: some noob was all fired to undercut
a regular on the local btc circuit
benkay: i had
a hilarious experience last night
mircea_popescu: but all in all this is
a fine example of why i said in the past that bitcoin fucks everything up. it ruined the notion of bonds similarly.
mircea_popescu: mike_c, consider one of the safeguards is used and bricks
a generation of asics.
benkay: there was
a minor dust-up over the semantics of renting v owning.
mircea_popescu:
a dream machine made out of
a block of obsidian is tangible too ?
mike_c: physical machines seem like
a tangible asset
mircea_popescu: seems
a scary tight margin put in those terms, but who knows.
mircea_popescu: its
a fucking start-up, they didn't hear of stock options in georgia ?
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03: how long does it take for BB to deposit winnings following resolution <<
a maximum of two days
mike_c: because you can just ignore depreciation, especially in
a mining operation.
princessnell: i think that's right but i unfortunately don't think that's the approach that us law schools take. anyways i deal
a lot with law through economics so i can have it all.
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete: mike_c: didn't know that about altcoin… i don't know why i thought it was
a costlier project << nah, thickasthieves was running lean at the time :D
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03, has
a good point, physics i agree is very very close. for exactly the same reason
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: was
a prefix to
a thought ;)
mircea_popescu: math models are
a lot easier to access, yes. not nearly as useful tho, not generally.
mircea_popescu: suppose there's
a land, and under this land water table, and above names of places.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the start-up approach to studying law in the us is getting
a small apt close to the campus of
a good law school and fucking all the older profs for free.
mircea_popescu: math is
a prime tool of making one stupid, even in sane places (such as the soviet union)
mircea_popescu: princessnell, as in too many duke grads unemployed to the point you get idjits
a la tucker max writing "novels" and then moving on to "financial advicering" ?
fluffypony: despite what u-sage usagi thinks, I'm clearly
a shitty scammer
princessnell: mircea_popescu well there's
a huge legal bubble in the us rite now
mircea_popescu: princessnell: bitcoinpete i almost did the same and went into law. dodged
a bullet there! << what's so bad about law ?
mircea_popescu: code has failed in production we'll shut the startup down, start
a new one, buy the old one out, and then repeat. We call this Multi Startup Synergistic Prefailure, and it's inspired by the work of Tsukino Usagi. << you know it's pretty much how this crap works irl.
mircea_popescu: moiety, well, i have women to drive nuts, so it keeps me sane. it's like
a gift.
mircea_popescu: just because they're after you doesn't mean everything's
a meta.
fluffypony: on "original" ideas that should cost
a lot less than they do (see: guerrilla marketing).
fluffypony: The wife and I went to exactly 1 start-up dinner. Not only were the people
a bunch of pretentious cocks that have never done anything successful in their lives (except circlejerk around all the cool synergies they can have with other start-ups), but the "speakers" (while eloquent and with beautiful Jobs-like presentations) espoused utterly inane notions that have no basis in reality and mostly have to do with spending stupid amounts of money
pankkake: i've also got the "it's written by
a googletwitterfacebook employee"
mircea_popescu: there's simply no way he ends up any other way than bleeding in
a ditch somewhere, with
a pilum in his penis.
mircea_popescu: this is exactly counter to what
a startup is even for. this is ibm think.
mircea_popescu: and so there IS such
a thing as "start-ups" in the same sense there actually is
a thing called new york.
mircea_popescu: this is usually the result of mediocre brains strained through the us college system. they end up with the expectation that any conceptual category has
a practical counterpart.
artifexd: I think it comes down to the fact that I get
a bad feeling at the idea of putting my private key somewhere that could be accessed via javascript that was downloaded from some external location.
danielpbarron: when i first started sending ascii armored blocks in gmail, they would alter some of it so it wasn't valid on the other end; sometimes because it would try to translate it, and sometimes it would just randomly remove
a space or line return
xmj: it's not an unexamined prior. it's
a fact. read news.ycombinator.com.
☟︎ moiety: i think i would have to give out credits to get people to read
a blog
mircea_popescu: well since i'm reading the logs, i'd like to take
a minute and dissect the stupidity of "xmj: mike_c: not if he dislikes my stating how it is."
mircea_popescu: hm.. all the #b-
a blogs should charge the same credits, spend them to read the other blogs, get them when people read your blog. talk about
a circle jerk. << zipf would put
a rapid end to that methinks.
pankkake: still
a better reason than silver to bitcoin's gold
fluffypony: and about
a billion dumb features submitted as pull requests
fluffypony: also it'll be written in Swift because that's
a modern language
TomServo: LTC/BTC exchange rate has been in
a pretty steady decline for
a while now
TomServo: I mined
a few litecoin blocks via CPU way back when. Just recently found that wallet and sold them, twas nice to grab
a few BTC out of that.
mircea_popescu sings ♫♩ it's

mircea_popescu: gotta love people that send you gpg mail and dutifully include
a complete summary in the subject line
Mats_cd03: food riots remaining
a perennial phenomenon worldwide
Naphex: so do i get
a bitcoin?:) %%
mircea_popescu: attention all people logged into trilema : im putting in
a change ticket, which will be implemented whenever today and as
a result will prolly log you out. just log back in will be fine.
mircea_popescu: but incidentally, this is
a good fucking point, re php. hear all ye haters and knowppls : steal
a trilema cookie, get
a bitcoin.
Naphex: and require 0 money just
a good idea?
mircea_popescu: someone sent me
a trilema credits thing out of some pos wallet that truncates the last 2 digits of
a tx
Naphex: Each enhancement has
a purpose. Every new feature deserves to be
a new feature.
