Mats_cd03: so i just spammed the api and went to take
a poop while it ran

a coherent matter.
Mats_cd03: i thought about it but thats
a lot of work
kakobrekla: cool, so its
a double reverse fractional reserve
☟︎ ThickAsThieves: <thestringpuller> ThickAsThieves: you moving into the audio game? /// I've been in and out of it for
a long time. Flirting with getting back in.
nubbins`: idea: throw hundred-dollar bills out of
a moving vehicle
nubbins`: if bitcoin magazine has to charge $99 for
a year subscription because their readership is so small, imagine what
a year of trilema would cost
thestringpuller: ;;later tell chetty should we put
a gribble bot in #eulora?
nubbins`: 16:16:17pLambert:business idea! collect the trilemma posts for each month and print them <<< that's actually not
a business idea
kakobrekla: o, audit. well thats

bitcoinpete: asciilifeform: give them
a little bunk next to the captain's
bounce: take
a piece of land, try and put
a building on it. some places the paperwork can easily take 200+ forms and 10+ years. so people just start to build and rent out the building without bothering with the paperwork. it's
a risk, but, you know.
bounce: there are ways to fix it but since they're
a symptom of
a(n often deliberately) broken official economy, that needs fixing first
bitcoinpete: and they don't need
a damage deposit at these places
bounce: probably should do
a writeup of that "research" so you have something proper to link to.
nubbins`: i mean, you can still get
a 1br slum for $500
nubbins`: Namworld there are very few 1br apartments so the prices on 'em are
a bit high
nubbins`: while technically not the maritimes,
a 1br apt in downtown st. john's, newfoundland will run you 700-900
mike_c: well if you understand it you should write
a post. it's quite something.
KRS-1: step 5) beat off to some .bait step 6) take

mike_c: unbelievable. i would write
a blog post on this if i understood it at all.
Mats_cd03: if you build
a decent consumer quadcopter with challenge and response i will be your first customer
bitcoinpete: “We believe that all of the expenses the SEC was complaining of were permitted by the limited partnership agreements and Delaware law,” said Aegis Frumento,
a partner at Stern Tannenbaum & Bell LLP in New York, who represents Brittenham and the firm. “We have every confidence at the end of the day that these charges will not be found to have been fraudulent under the Investors Advisers Act.”
bounce: looks like
a typo in the guy's surname
Apocalyptic: "the decision to postpone the event was
a direct result of
a “negative response from government authorities” or more specifically, The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, the FSB"
herbijudlestoids: BingoBoingo: if someone wanted to offer hosting services, do you think most people are after
a VPS with SSH access? or just

keonne: I then started on
a path off researching the histoy of the bar mitzvah; and was suitably disgusted

B007: just
a side of spam
mircea_popescu: to tell him about how "nobody could have drawn
a rocket on the wall it just couldn't have been done"
bounce: what? you're rich and powerful. you could hire
a competent writer, or ten, and only keep the best one or two books
mircea_popescu: anyway, whenbever that idiocy breaks down you get
a renaissance, it's uncanny.
mircea_popescu: suppose you wanna go fucking watch
a ball game or actually, strike that
mircea_popescu: bounce that's only half of it. suppose you have
a daughter. who's she to marry ?
bounce: to some it's not merely necessary to win, but for others to lose. turn
a non-zero-sum game into
a zero-sum game, why don't you.
bounce: it's
a matter of attitude. why even bother spend any effort, money, whatever, on keeping the (not that uncultured part of the) plebs down? so many other things you could do with your wealth and power. what do you value? well, those values apparently aren't that highfalutin', after all.
decimation: "Nor was FDR, as commonly asserted,
a "traitor to his class" - anything but it. FDR's beliefs, or at least his speeches (in one so seldom praised for candor, the inference of any actual conviction is at best an exercise of imagination) can indeed be studied as almost perfect reflections of the intellectual fashions of America's apex upper class, the socialite-socialist aristocracy. These fashions have changed somewhat since 1933, but not that
mircea_popescu: doog's okay, site's backed by
a good idea, tracking under ev for
a while and maybe slacking
a little in volume lately.
benkay: one can only build
a reputation over time
robwhiz22: mircea_popescu, and would appreciate
a response to it.

a specific, private, proposal to you last week.
keonne: yes it was, mostly because i wasnt aiming to file
a bug, rather, alert you that you should fix your shit
bounce: anything non-ascii is easily
a problem. which is endless fun since various utf-8-ised s/w likes to insert fancy replacements for basic things like apostrophes that then get mangled in interesting ways in transit

a problem with
a special character in the message
mircea_popescu:
a final curlique on the dekulakization topic. asciilifeform you familiar with how socrates died ?
bounce: it takes real guts to just let be in such
a situation
mircea_popescu: sure,
a tree with no middle one day collapses. but until such
a day...
mircea_popescu: it's
a middle pruning control strategy, the exact equiv of raising taxes "for social good"
mircea_popescu: see, the fact that i made the fu berkshire bet and the fact i pay about 2.85%
a year on average are related.
mircea_popescu: however, there exists
a center of people who can't afford good tax shelters, and who could, if left undisturbed, come to one day challenge him.
mircea_popescu: there's
a very good fundamental reason to extend credit you know will never be repaid.
mircea_popescu: you remember my story with the jewish money lender taking
a painting and other payment in kind for debt ?
mircea_popescu: the same shall soon apply to tech, we're witnessing
a "professorisation" and "tenurisation" of tech.

a COO not
a CFO job. in other words, you don't reduce it financially
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ok. considering the what/how debate as accepted foundation : at any time there's
a number of turkeys and
a number of engineers.

a year.
