BingoBoingo:
I drank vodka and ate a half wheel of Maytag Blue cheese.
BingoBoingo: That example
I linked in the logs is poorly structured, and in sports betting the actual likely best case is a 30%loss.
MisterE: but
I'll read the log give me a few
MisterE:
I'm still in the black but...

ThickAsThieves:
i think some people don;t realize corruption has a broader definition than "paid off"
mircea_popescu: but irl
i know of no system more corrupt than reagan's us
mircea_popescu:
i mean, this is oft repeated as a representation of fact,
ThickAsThieves: "
I just called Mt Gox asking for my bitcoins..here the recording"
mircea_popescu: be $700/mo for "some high school" (SSI) or $1500/mo for "previous work experience" (unemployment).
I would have accepted $2000/mo for "minorities" (jail) for partial credit."
mircea_popescu: say, a U Chicago grad can do no economically productive work at all but still be paid to use Instagram? Let me be explicit: my question is not should we do this, my question is that since this is precisely what's happening already, is it sustainable? What is the cost?
I don't have to run the numbers, someone already has: it's $150/mo for a college grads,
i.e. the price of food stamps. Other correct responses would
mircea_popescu: "So start with an interesting hypothetical: does everybody need to work anymore?
I understand work from an ethical/character perspective, this is not here my point.

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves
i mean this : that your approach imposes a limit on the complexity of relationships in your society
BingoBoingo:
I imagine in that case the officer get dismissed
decimation:
I guess the traditional method is from the children of the local nobles
BingoBoingo:
I imagine for a proper police force for Jormania, you would at least need two castes working for you. Police Officers and then the lowly police man.
ThickAsThieves: "You are free to choose to participate in the poll or not. Nobody is begging you for your money and
I wish we could avoid asking for anyone's money at all to avoid dealing with investors such as yourself. Hopefully if we succeed in listing IPO we will not have you on our investor's list."
ThickAsThieves:
i think he rides every car''s ass, but generally is a better driver
mircea_popescu:
i remember a time when officer was a superlative menschkeit thing
ThickAsThieves: my wife thinks a drive too slow, except when
i don't see nonsensical speed signs
ThickAsThieves: agreed, and
i think an officer should be human enough to interpret whether someone is actually endangering a situation, over filling a quota for tickets
mircea_popescu: "and then

ThickAsThieves:
i think about how even the concept of getting pulled over while driving is usually absurd
mircea_popescu: if there's going to be a soyuz of the soviets organised within our lifetimes over there
i'll possibly not be able to carry on for laughter
decimation:
I find that after reading an -assets log my mind returns to the original ideas contained therein
ninjashogun: so
I didn't realize how much money is sloshing around the bitcoin ecosystem. Question: do you think with WoT this ecosystem (e.g. this channel, etc) could substitute for the actual VC market completely?

benkay`:
i said get on irc and say hi
mircea_popescu: when
i do hidden in plain sight, it's hidden. when the usg tries it, it's snowdened.
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, mind if
I call you Baron from now on
mircea_popescu: well, that
i don't. however,
i do understand quite well when
i don't understand something.
ninjashogun:
I thought you did understand code quite well though
mircea_popescu: ninjashogun
i just did what
i always do, told people what to do.
KRS-One: tbh
i dont know much about securing java..that could be.
mircea_popescu: KRS-One
i always thought it's insecure, and insecurable
KRS-One:
I always thought it was slow, but that isn't really the case. If it runs slow its because someone didn't know what they are doing.

i really should.
moiety: mircea_popescu: in the sense that
i can make anything work regardless of personal stance :) bingo's right and you guys allow me to derp around here for some sanity... amazingly
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
I imagine an honest chumpatron is kind of like an idiot reserve.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
