ThickAsThieves: mp clarification on question one "start that way" as in there will there not be a base set of art for everything within the intended style of the game
cgcardona: ok give me a sec to get it all set up again.
ThickAsThieves: mircea_popescu when you mention "art" for S.MG shall be open market, does that mean: 1. It will start that way? 2. It will/won't not have a style guide as boundary? 3. Audio will be sourced likewise? (style guide? music? sfx? voice?)
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: and non-DELfationary is a new kind of soap

fluffypony: mircea_popescu: There's been a strong push in low-cost banking services here; there's a legal requirement for every bank to offer a low-cost banking product that doesn't exceed dictated maximum costs, so for remittance within the country (for miners sending money to their families, for eg) they just use that
Maciano: OK, thought it was worth a try.

mircea_popescu: i'm having brain orgasms over here, this is EXACTLY the sort of thing life is all about. so i made a wonderful thing, on top of which dooglus made a wonderful thing, on top of which kakobrekla made a wonderful thing. none of these are particularly hard to do, once you have the others' stuff. but they're nigh on impossible to do if you do not. ☟︎

asciilifeform: why there needs to be a 'kickstarter' for a flashlight, i cannot answer. ask the gods.
asciilifeform: (as you could in a classical, incandescent flashlight)
asciilifeform: this is necessarily a poorer use of the batteries than the traditional version of several 1.5v cells in series.
asciilifeform: likewise, since a switched voltage regulator ('boost reg' for hardware people) is not 100% efficient,
ThickAsThieves: <+fluffypony> csshih: https://www.yahoo.com/tech/the-triatholight-a-300-hour-flashlight-that-seems-too-84489515654.html <- thoughts? /// yknow, a good scam here would be to include some battery power under the hood, fooling people to wow at its initial duration of use, then they put it away for a year like every other flashlight and forget about it
mircea_popescu: anyone want to lend me a billion or so of the dogecoins on a one year term ?

thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: How about a Yankees game?
mircea_popescu: MarieLynn thestringpuller i think there may be a strong difference based on location. airbnb may work a lot better outside of the us than inside.
