nubbins`: ThickAsThieves: "centralization", i guess ;(
nubbins`: i believe that he doesn't know what three of those words mean
nubbins`: if it wasn't for peripheral vision, i wouldn't know what the rest of the sentence was beyond "decentralization"
nubbins`: and then a larger chunk if "I" is followed by "believe"
nubbins`: generally i lose a little bit of interest in a sentence when it starts with "I"
kakobrekla: zomg "i believe that decentralization in the central theme of the century." dude, it aint funny!
nubbins`: that reminds me, i need to vault some backups
nubbins`: BingoBoingo: "if" i lose to everyone
nubbins`: i've got a brown thumb anyway, the best i'd be able to do is pull together a team on your behalf
BingoBoingo: Apocalyptic: We played well before the tournament started I believe. It was this thing started on a whim as a four player round robin. truffles nubbins` and myself were in MP's spec I believe and then Namworld was online at the exact right time. Since we need some sort of three way tiebreaker if nubbins` loses to everyone... Fuck it, five way round robin.
Apocalyptic: I remember playing BingoBoingo well before that
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic i thinkj they started it like 6 weeks ago
nubbins`: but i mean, just move the farm outside the city. 15 minute drive and you're in the sticks
Apocalyptic: how come i'm not in the tournament ?
nubbins`: and i know of several people who currently have grow licenses from health canada
diametric: I feel like the feds plan is just to loom over the industry to cast doubt on it, but only rarely try to enforce it at the federal level.
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: I don't remember, but I didn't think Apocalyptic was in the tournament.
diametric: nubbins`: i hope they would
diametric: wait i think its 9, i lost count
diametric: bones`: lots of things, though i already have 9 3d printers
diametric: nubbins`: i like your style
nubbins`: diametric: for the sake of a differing opinion, i think you should purchase the luxury item you don't have room for
mircea_popescu: diametric ok so i'll talk you out of it for a modest fee of 1 btc
diametric: until I build out my garage into a machine shop this spring
diametric: I've run out of real estate to put them
ThickAsThieves: not sure i agree
nubbins`: to be fair i use it as well, but, shrug
diametric: oh man so tempting a 3d printer I've wanted to try for a while can be bought with bitcoin now.
Jere_Jones: I'm thinking more along the lines of the new owners not getting the benefit of the previous owners good ratings.
mircea_popescu: i don't think i've read type smaller than about half an inch in the past decade
mircea_popescu: even so. i make it my policy to never look at small stuff.
asciilifeform: never published (i decided it was crap, and shortly after, someone beat me to the punch)
nubbins`: what's the biggest res that HDMI can support at a reasonable framerate, i wonder?
asciilifeform: if someone sold a screen with double the pixels for double the cost, i'd have bought that.
nubbins`: i think my ipad was ~$700
asciilifeform: i literally don't need it for anything other than reading djvu scans.
nubbins`: i almost bought a nexus <size of phone>
nubbins`: i've seen some nice usb monitors for cheap
mircea_popescu: well i guess this passes the bar for advertising, what can i say.
mircea_popescu: kinda what i had too
ThickAsThieves: but i never saw anything definitive
ThickAsThieves: i always assumed they stopped mining and started faking it at some point
nubbins`: BingoBoingo: i'm now 0-2 after losing to you and Apocalyptic. D:
Apocalyptic: Chris_Sabian_, I am
jayk: i had that for the atari 2600
asciilifeform: brother and i played this on our 'Iskra' (xt clone) and combed three different dictionaries to learn what the fuck an osha is ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: phun phact: that was where i first heard of 'osha'
Apocalyptic: "Dimon's hit squad at work right now....If i work at JPM, I would watch my back going to and from work just to be safe"
mircea_popescu: i hear jpm is rebranding
ThickAsThieves: yeah i never thought i;d see it
ThickAsThieves: i feel like playing the game is the problem
ThickAsThieves: and i'm like why are you lying?
ThickAsThieves: i agree that catering in general is a horrible snowballing thing
mircea_popescu: by which i mean : kids who hussle each other grow strong and confident
ThickAsThieves: i just enjoy it more when someone is converted and joins us, than when we display one more idiot
ThickAsThieves: being in the US, and a background in mktg & visual media, it's hard for me to avoid the desire to cater i guess
mircea_popescu: if random guy fell into the chat with that request i'd have probably linked him to jurov's manual.
mircea_popescu: he doesn't know who i am.
mircea_popescu: we'd have ended up bogged down in the fact that i know who you are
ThickAsThieves: if i had sais
ThickAsThieves: i guess youre right
mircea_popescu: and the reason they bothered is the experience/knowledge that i actually do act under my own authority,
mircea_popescu: the reason people could ever construct their arguments was that i was engaging the substance, and visibly so, which allows for retort.
ThickAsThieves: well what if i had come to you saying your options are shit cuz they a borked
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves but i did engage the substance.
ThickAsThieves: maybe not fair to compare a room of smart people i guess
pankkake: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=426116.0 people trust "screenshots", get scammed, say "i just wanted to mine"
mircea_popescu: any other approach runs straight into "i'll unconvince myself for five dollah mista"
pankkake: I give up on the forum btw. it's hopeless.
mircea_popescu: which i've seen a million times.
mircea_popescu: and the noob either withdraws the "ipo" (which i've seen at least once) or else goes on a derprampage.
mircea_popescu: "I offered you a chance to redeem your idiocy"
mircea_popescu: this is what this guy is, and what i meant by "nigger" in that article : he's nothing more substantial than JUST the ritual in question.
ThickAsThieves: some people require ritual in their debate is all i mean, i'm not saying it's justifiable, so much as if you talk to people the "right" way, the substance of the conversation can sometimes be allowed to surface
mircea_popescu: sure, maybe i'm just a troll.
mircea_popescu: so... i guess I am rediscovering it.
mircea_popescu: ironically, i had an account long long ago, then abandoned it because they did something stupid to the site. don't remember what exactly.
pankkake: anyway I feel like you're discovering twitter
mircea_popescu: so i did.
mircea_popescu: "dude, i hate it because it's a threat, what do you want from me ?" would be infinitely more respectable than you know... "oh, deflation"
mircea_popescu: i wish exactly the same.
ThickAsThieves: but i guess that's the point
ThickAsThieves: the irony(?) is that i wish your exchange with him had more substance
kakobrekla: i dont even ...
ThickAsThieves: is all i'm saying
ThickAsThieves: basically he's made no derp noises since i met him
mircea_popescu: i c
ThickAsThieves: he even verified I was me!
ThickAsThieves: i'll try to get him in here too
ThickAsThieves: I just want to note that briefly working with Jimmy @ cryptocointalk.com has been a pleasure and I like what he's doing with his forum
davout: I LEARNED FROM THE MASTERS
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i could so have taken your bitcents!!11
davout: did i just teach mircea_popescu a new english word? http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/complexify
mircea_popescu: i see
davout: now i get it :-)
davout: when i was a kid i wondered why my mum had to buy dollars on the black market
kakobrekla: davout i can cover nigeria from somalia just well.
the20year: I just get sad every time I hear about more stupidity in africa, i wish someone would do something taht might actually make the general populace act less retarded
the20year: I think that you could get good traction on african exchanges/wallets if you show the use of savings
mircea_popescu: france is fucked anyway, i think pretty much everyone realises this by now.
