ughlol: mircea_popescu: yes,
a little bit.
ughlol: Im only asking 10mins on
a private chat.
mircea_popescu: you can't try to leverage that into something that otherwise costs
a whole lot of money.
ughlol: mircea_popescu: I wont ask you about investment. Just want to learn and understand your opinion. I read your blog article, and what you say makes
a lot of sense. Thats why.
BingoBoingo: "Asking them to pick up your daughter and throw her over
a cliff however is an illegal request."
Dimsler: ughlol, why? hes just
a scammer like you are
ozbot: Interacting with fiat institution,
a guide pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
ughlol: to try and find investment for
a business.
ninjashogun: you would need to have
a lot of different users already.
ninjashogun: ughlol, mirceau is not going to invest in you, unless oyu had
a ton of traction
ninjashogun: i wanna be
a billionaire - and
a programming job can't even make me
a millionaire - id have to struggle hard just to make ends meet
ughlol: nothing wrong in wanting to be
a billionaire! :P
ninjashogun: There's just one part of the scrollback that is funny - and that shows he's still
a student :)
ThickAsThieves: now i'm putting you both on ignore for when you come back in
a few weeks with your hands out for some other bullshit
Dimsler: man nobody is giving you
a penny in here
ninjashogun: So it's really all the same to me, but I would prefer if you'd do the noble, proper thing and take
a few seconds to do that.
ninjashogun: Well given that you have just taken it upon yourself to accuse me of being
a scammer with ughlol it's up to you to take about 35 seconds to scroll through that and determine that, in fact, I have just met him, and you're
a fucking troll who should either stop trolling and apologize or (obviously) eat shit or die
ozbot: “You cannot fix
a machine by just power-cycling it with no understanding of what is going wrong.â€
ughlol: jurov: I would love to read, can you give me
a link?
ughlol: I want to create
a social network that completely revolves around location services
ninjashogun: BingoBoingo, I would forget about that portion. It's very germane in India where it is
a big problem. If he were from Detroit he would put in bullet tracking information based on echolocation - how far away is that shooting? :)
ughlol:
a social networking app that is meant only for mobile devices
ughlol: jurov: not bitcoins, but
a mobile app
ughlol: mircea_popescu: Interesting indeed, but ofc, I am looking for investment.. You can call yourself
a venture capitalist, investor, angel investor or whatever you like :)
jurov: i don'thave
a vulture capital access, too and i'm fine
ninjashogun: On the downside, he has no access to
a venture capital ecosystem.
ninjashogun: He is also an engineering student in India, and as such he has access to
a very good source of labor.
ninjashogun: Due to its double-opt-in nature, it is especially good as
a dating solution.
ughlol: jurov: The rape intervention is
a part of
a much bigger app.
ninjashogun: That is
a feature he is interested in adding, has nothing to do with the social network.
ninjashogun: ughlol is working on an extremely interesting social network for real spaces, based on shared interests - for exmaple, at
a bar if someone is into the exact same bands as you, then you could both be notified.
ninjashogun: guys, I'm watching htis channel as actually in talking with ughlol I'm the one who mentioned mirceau as being high-net-worth. he's from India and has access to
a much poorer network of investors than some western countries
ughlol: mircea_popescu: mind
a pm?
ughlol: i mean, i dont want you hiring
a hitman with btc to take me out right? :P
ughlol: mircea_popescu: found out you're
a billionaire.. sorry to have spoken rudely the other day
artifexd: My wife has taken our daughter to Ecuador
a couple times and no one asked me
a damned thing.
artifexd: I can state with certainty that Ecuador has rules requiring notrized documentation from the not-present parent for taking
a child out of the country. The US doesn't.
mircea_popescu: i thought that was
a major issue in the us because of kidnapping concerns
artifexd: My daughter had
a passport before she as
a month old.
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many of the internet haxxors ever had
a passport made in the first place.
bitcoinpete: also, was this sarcastic or serious? 01:47:56mircea_popescu:"Being quiet and studious is broadly unknown in
a western culture that prizes views, likes and the inane extraversion required to generate them." no see, that's attacking people's self esteem.
steven-__: he used to post on 2+2 and had
a blog raitng the best burritos in his city
Mats_cd03: nate silver is well known as
a statistician
mircea_popescu: soo, BingoBoingo bitcoinpete jborkl and generally ppl doing blogs : ima be doing
a little bit of sec wikileaking in
a few hours.
benkay: okay i have found
a use for the alts
ThickAsThieves: Please note that an updated link to
a PDF version will be posted at lmb-holdings.com soon.
mircea_popescu: "women in tech", but only for just as long as
a) they're stupid and b) they don't ever do anything let alone make calls.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i was thinking more along the lines of, hey dear pentagon, if you're looking to start
a research project into how to give people physical pain over the wire... i got the only documented case of this happening working for me.
mircea_popescu: except since she's incapable of fidning
a boyfriend, she would like obamacare to pay for it.
mircea_popescu: "
A software engineer named Julie Ann Horvath sent shock waves across Silicon Valley over the weekend" = "nobody gave
a shit, so we'll just keep yakking about it"
mircea_popescu: silicon valley stands at
a crossroad indeed. one way, despair and utter hopelessness
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: No I'm trying to find the link now, it's
a really weird little paper that nobody I mention it to has heard of.
midnightmagic: There is
a really neat paper that asserts that if you know "enough" about the edges of
a connected graph network and measure the messages, you can map most messages sources.
mircea_popescu: the theoretical possibility still exists, in
a variety of very difficult to model variants
midnightmagic:
a bunch of us are trying to connect via non-internet connections to at least measure any attempt at chosen-cut/isolation attacks.
midnightmagic: there is virtually no load. i run an experimental node that deals with
a few dozen transactions
a day on an eeepc 701 just for fun.
midnightmagic twitches uncontrollably at mention of "bitcoin jesus" down in the Caribbean complaining about how slow it is to open
a bank account as
a recent import from the US
benkay: everyone calling themselves
a core dev has hacked on the cpp hairball that turned into 0.7 and then 0.8
benkay: worth doing once
a day.
gribble: Error: 'freenode:#bitcoin-otc:da8bab51c90fb8c7142143eaa83df8ade8e8e0aa699576b2863f7245' is not
a valid
http url.
mircea_popescu: but mastercoin was
a new ripple once ripple got its guts ripped out
mircea_popescu: wasn't ethereum more like
a new ripple than
a new bitcoin ?
Apocalyptic: "The 19-Year-Old Behind Ethereum,
a New Digital Currency, Is Insanely Smart"
mircea_popescu: no because that is actually intended as
a chump party.
