mircea_popescu: this market is deader than disco, you might as well build a time machine to go back to 1982 to buy buffett's textile business.

mircea_popescu: you can argue this with me till either of us get bored. point remains : this isn't a business, it's a hobby.

mircea_popescu: the (imo incredibly cool) voice acting including in present eulora was... a freebie.

mircea_popescu: you won't make money from making sound any more than a girl will make money taking selfies.

mircea_popescu: it'll keep the fans endlessly occupied with a fun debate

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves this is a good thing to do, but not for the direct reason. for the marketing meta-reason instead :

mircea_popescu: sound is air vibration. unless you package the air along with the signal, your digital thing'll be just a construction.

mircea_popescu: fluffypony there's not really such a thing as "authentic" sound.

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves but basically, any "artist" is just called "a band" in my admittedly living in the past head.

mircea_popescu: i have a better idea : MIC THE SPEAKERS TWICE

mircea_popescu: kakobrekla so the amps do not have a jack into which you can plug your speakers or mixing table or anything else ?

mircea_popescu: how the fuck do you want to do a soundproofing job w/o a db probe

mircea_popescu: how loud can it be ? got a db probe ?

mircea_popescu: tbh, unless you got some turboprop shit going on here, a properly soundproofed garage shouldn't care anywya.

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves have him come back, make a hybrid-hybrid system

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves so basically by making a deal with your helpful government, you can now keep your hot water showers,

mircea_popescu: benkay some shit us idea that tries to combine the african water heater (big tank painted black) with the european model (burn gas under the pipe, like a reverse fridge)

mircea_popescu: why not just use csv, it'a a fuckin standard

mircea_popescu: admittedly, a distinction very fine.

mircea_popescu: decimation you know i just had this dispute with native speaker today ? because she said "tuna" with a plain u like in cartoon

mircea_popescu: so bitpay shared a wall with the guys.

mircea_popescu: in george's words, "bear in mind we at least paid to spraypaint a crackwhore!"

mircea_popescu: suppose im a merchant that just sold 10k btc worth of fresh salmon, am i fucked nao ?

mircea_popescu: that's a start.

mircea_popescu: in things such as surviving a dose of xrays, it's counterintuitively your length more than your area that matters at subcellular level

mircea_popescu is not a biologist.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform to a large degree, it hurts the fetuses, not the kids-to-be-born later

mircea_popescu: for the ovule to manage to come out it needs to pass a bunch of checks.

mircea_popescu: not much of a question.

mircea_popescu: so you'll still be ovulating, esp as a young woman, no matter the dose.

mircea_popescu: moreover, looky here : suppose you are a woman, for some reason. you are born with all your sex cells.

mircea_popescu: "At that point I took all the phones away and we had a little reminder chat about when it was appropriate to use your phone and when it was not. Also that it was rarely appropriate to hide under the table." chetty check this out : no longer appropriate to hide under desk in the us school system.

mircea_popescu: add a stick to the ball.

mircea_popescu: maybe with a newspaper, asciilifeform

mircea_popescu: but a garbageman does something useful. a kindergarten teacher perhaps, some places. NOT in ussr, and not in ussa tho. most emphatically not.

mircea_popescu: "Today was the first day in a long time I actually took phones away. I have no idea what all was included in the update, but you would have thought it was crack. They seriously could not keep away from it. I even had one girl crawl under the table with her phone."

mircea_popescu: MP : The point of womanhood is for the woman to start a new life, as a new person, once she sexually matures.

mircea_popescu: and moreover, why the d is rendered as n in a double n, wtf, this isn't even a documented consonant migration afaik

mircea_popescu: but look at the beauty of what is (could be) in a word :

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: 'bb' caliber cannons. or, alternatively and more simply, rams. << i remember watching a rather interesting "electricity stealing" competition among some flying items a few years ago.

mircea_popescu: "oh this opressive government and the fucking courts which we can say we live in a tyrannical tyranny!11"

mircea_popescu: *suit gets rejected for lack of venue, failure to state a claim, failure to file and failure to fail*

mircea_popescu: "so i contributed some equity" "to whom ?" "to someone" "so what do you want ?" "a share of the profit" "of whom ?!" "of someone"

mircea_popescu: holy shit. the ipo of an anon entity ? logic just got knotted into a pretzel and ate itself.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: I imagine we'll fill the wiki with important points over time << as stan'd say, i can also see another scenario, where the wiki is still where it's now, a decade later.

mircea_popescu: the best error, like the best entropy, is the result of a different approach than culture.

mircea_popescu: it's as if you were a woman, and visited gynecologists monthly, until one day when you discovered they decided football was part of gynecology, and then kept running into one another on the field like drunk sperms.

mircea_popescu: but in the 80s i recall it being somewhat of a big deal

mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete: eventually, i see fewer people walking into bitcoin (and assets) like they own the place << kinda what i'm trying to get with the trouting various clueless twits a la courtois. "it ain't yo momma's btc, yo! show some respek!"

mircea_popescu: it's almost as if we inhabit a theoretical topological construct rather than irl.

mircea_popescu: thestringpuller yeah ideally the wiki should end up a sort of short story of all the blawgs.

mircea_popescu: <Apocalyptic> "King Dragon @The1KingDragon Security Professional, CEO CryptoRush" << FUCK YOU. he's a KING dragon.

mircea_popescu: <pankkake> besides the various forms of writing an address, I guess there are RIPEMD-160 collisions? << a ripemd-160 collision that'd make two diff bitcoin addresses out of one key is kinda improbable even theoretically tho
