mircea_popescu: "^ This is a wood lathe, this is how i take square things and make them round." lmao that thread's so adorable.
mircea_popescu: and there's plenty you can do about that. start with you know, the variety speak.
mircea_popescu: but the usual "hey i made a company which is a website which makes claims which are either trivially falsified or not provable because reasons", well...
mircea_popescu: if the solution is actually good that gets you a spot.
mircea_popescu: which is why i said "depends to what". if you come in and say "hi guise, remember that problem with the derivatives ? check out this solution i figured out!!!"
mircea_popescu: but that's less important. what's more important is, bitcoin has no price signal and you propose to do derivatives. well... got some questions to answer.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "The retaliation has been terrifying." << no, it hasn't.
mircea_popescu: this is what linus is. no name, no nothing, anon idiot gets to use his own qualifiers.
mircea_popescu: "Last Thursday, I criticized the Linux community for continuing to support and center a leader with a years-long, documented history of unrepentant abusive behavior, someone who has actively and systematically nurtured a hostile, homogeneous technical community, and someone who has long actively chased people from marginalized groups out of open source."
mircea_popescu: incidentally, since doormouse exists, maybe it's time to have doorartist too ? someone using half pound chisels as proof of artisanry?
mircea_popescu: you're too suspicious asciilifeform. most people are actually dumb.
mircea_popescu: dude i have one of those. I used it recently to fix a door
mircea_popescu: nubbins` (btw, asciilifeforms been doing a ton of plastic and other matter cutting with an actual laser for cardano project, so... expert testimony)
mircea_popescu: "How many times you look at it. It was clearly carve by a 40 to 60 watts co2 laser. " << i'm with him. looks just about right.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i have nfi what posseses someone to take a perfectly valid product and pretend it's something else.
mircea_popescu: oh i see. it'd better be some sort of "leave britny alone!!!1" thing.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron yeah im with kako, they seem to stick to him somehow.
mircea_popescu: no, that it doesn't. my suspicion is, as far as i'm personally concerned, grounded mostly in the fact that you had no idea that, for instance, mpoe covered ~30k btc worth of derivative losses without "sociualising". this in 2013.
mircea_popescu: STRML no, not my word. my word means plenty. your word means little, but for very good reason : 1) you're not in the wot and b) you've not do your reading.
mircea_popescu: STRML do you understand the space between a claim and a fact ? anyone can say that. in fact, people tend to. this doesn't correlate with anything substantial.
mircea_popescu: so Jeong threw some money , which is what he does, a sicrit expert wrote "the engine" and an eager black guy class of 2008 wants to play the danny brewster.
mircea_popescu: "Arthur Hayes obtained his BA in Economics at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania in 2008. "

☟︎ mircea_popescu: it'slikesaying kid driving will evetually learn to marathon
mircea_popescu: nubbins` not by heart, but yes, you can probably buy a girl in the shadier part of town for less.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller not much need for that to be a rumour. obviousness is obvious, i dun think anyone doesn't know they are.
mircea_popescu: it's not fraud to say you're "a master artisan". it'd have been a fraud had it been a regulated profession.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` tbh i think it's forcing a point. anyone buying whatever on puffery is stuck.
mircea_popescu: you register your key with assbot, aquire some trust and then can self-voice.
mircea_popescu: i know i sort-of considered having something done when he was first brought up but dropped after actually looking at w/e it was at the tgime.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i dun think anyone who a) isn't mentally retarded and b) looked at any item more than cursorily failed to realise it's a computer etch.
mircea_popescu: the last master carver to have made 3k an hour was known by his moustache.
mircea_popescu: Yes, a MASTER CARVER who normally earns $450 (or is it $800 (or is it $3,000)) per hour is willing to make Butterfly Labs dildos for $18/hr.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is elastic, it can be anything you want it to be. "commodity"
mircea_popescu: what's next, bifinex is a lulzy scamfest and btcjam loses 30% of your moneyz every coupla quarters ?
mircea_popescu: Adlai thing is , page simply does not resolve unless you run bad software.
mircea_popescu: who is generally stupid and lazy, and i doubt teh story will stick, but hey. angry narcissists.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: Wait so Mark did the Gox, Silk Road, GLBSE, and Bitcointalk scams? <<< the explanation is quite pedestrian. there's a bunch of fuctards who imagine they're "the coimmunity" notwithstanding they have no money and no political importance. because hey, they FEEL like they should matter. these derps ineffectually tried to prop up mtgox. they failed, but they don't wish to confront the why there, so instead the
mircea_popescu: ps : "DDoS protection by CloudFlare" does not actually work.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: Looks like qntra got scooped on this. << of course there's also the possibility they made it up. not the 1st time.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla of course my only takeaway is that the price is doing pretty well at strangling coinbase. lucky them that they managed a refinance. curious if bitpay announces anything soon.
mircea_popescu: all crowd source projects constructed around an asshole succeed. like linux. and like systemd.
mircea_popescu: (Oh, and journalctl goes out of its way to set up this behavior. Not by passing command line arguments to less, because that would be too obvious (you might spot it in a ps listing, for example); instead it mangles $LESS to effectively add the '-S' option, among other things.)
mircea_popescu: "The merely bad experience is that as a result of this I had occasion to use journalctl (I normally don't). More specifically, I had occasion to use 'journalctl -l', because of course if you're going to make a bug report you want to give full messages.

mircea_popescu: " dude it's so great to be back on windows, seriously" << fifty million "experts" running systemd
mircea_popescu: "Attempts to log in or to su to root from an existing login either fail or hang."
mircea_popescu: "The slightly good news is that PID 1 segfaulting does not reboot the machine on the spot. "
mircea_popescu: to the grief of women actually involved with computers. whoi aren't a market for the niggers, because they're smart and few, which makes it too expensive.
mircea_popescu: just like nobody is calling retarded journalist cunts "core developers" on the basis of their merging gender changes to pronouns in documentation on github.
