nubbins`: i know lots of very intelligent university-educated people, but i also know some complete fucking morons with the same credentials
nubbins`: KRS-: i spent 6 years in university. i'm discounting the notion that possession of a degree automatically confers knowledge, wisdom, or experience. :)
KRS-: nubbins: not sure if you went to college or not, I did and I learned a lot. A lot of what you said is true, but you can't discount a degree someone has attained.
nubbins`: spending six years learning that i didn't want to spend the rest of my life working in an office was the best learning experience i got
pankkake: getting drunk with friends were the best learning experiences I got from higher education
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: one of the big problems with higher education is that students think "ok, i just attend these classes, get this degree, and i'm employable", which is just not true. getting a university degree, college diploma, whatever, doesn't mean you're employable, doesn't mean you have skills, doesn't mean you know how to do anything besides graduate from a program. the value isn't in the degre

jurov: i'm buying s.mpoe at 0.00001, anyone?

pankkake: they used to state years I think
pankkake: now I hope bitvps goes back to mpex!
jurov: last time i tried, it refused to start, did not put more effort into it
jurov: try and let me know. i want to have it working with armory, too
pankkake: anyway I can always export the keys and sign it some other way
pankkake: oh, ok. only something I read
pankkake: well I have an account already (with nothing on it)
pankkake: pretty cool :) so it will be effective on the 1st (i.e. should I wait to use it)?
nubbins`: i consumed a large amount of alcohol last night

dexX7: i think the chinese guy fooled some with the video.. it was like "friedcat will bring 1000 th/s online on nov 7" and two hours later "i forgot to say that he actually said that am delievered 1000 th/s in sold products altogether"
mike_c: kakobrekla: that is actually a great idea. i bet we could make that happen on fiverr. it would be hilarious.

dexX7: well, i don't know. i have no reference to say "it's good or bad"
mircea_popescu: i keep all my wallets encrypted in temporary amazon sessions
jurov: but i guess mircea knows better than leaving unencrypted wallets lying around
kakobrekla: by still ok you mean like "i used to have schizophrenia but we are ok now"?
mircea_popescu: i just don;t have what with lol
Kleeck_: I mean, I guess it is Sunday...
mircea_popescu: anyway. normally it could have recovered on the fly, but now chief engineer wants to see why it failed right now, and i can't argue with her.
jurov: in short, i hope cardano becomes inconspicuous neck-wearable gizmo in next incarnation
jurov: so i should get a gf to be able to hide it securely?
pankkake: I prefer mouths personally
mircea_popescu: jurov i think the only body cavity able to hide it would be a well worked vagina, the sort pankkake favours
darby: i see
darby: a lot more people than i would've expected
FabianB_: i think ThickAsThieves didn't mean mpoe bot, since it doesn't trade s.mpoe, does it?

mircea_popescu: i think so

dexX7: "failing last since 2011" should be corrected then, i guess :p
mircea_popescu: i don't think they're doing anything bad, and heck, bitcoin can benefit from the attention of more people with financial expertise
dexX7: well, they are already looking for investors as it seems. i filled out the "i'm interested form" and promptly received a mail with a request for a telephone call
dexX7: haha nice, i think i stumbled upon this topic last year
dexX7: i remember very vague that many had "bitcoin doesn't care about the sec" or so in their signatures. was this after glbse?
mircea_popescu: the matter was dropped, as i believed him,
mircea_popescu: well, better question would be "why this time" i think
mircea_popescu: o, people love to challenge me. because i'm such a snotty asshole see ?
mircea_popescu: in fact, i did *the exact same thing* about bitcoin, it took commebnters on my blog ~3 months to get me to look again
mircea_popescu: Kleeck_ i do that all the motherfucking time. i am fortunate to have people who love/hate me enough to insist on the topic.
Kleeck_: Sometimes I don't read book because the cover looks like shit.
mircea_popescu: i guess judging by the site is a superficial approach to life.
