a sesspool.
kakobrekla: pankkake its called
a laughing stock, not
a laughter stock.

a lic for co or wa today iirc.

a secret" - forums are down so can't check

a supporter of legalization, but i think we're barely getting medical for cancer patients on the ballot this year
mircea_popescu: and now for something completely different : any interest in
a potential S.POT, which'd be
a company dedicated to acquiring
a florida pot growing license ?
mircea_popescu: Safello, which also saw Blockchain.info CEO Nicolas Cary invest, is currently revamping its website, and promises
a range of new services in the coming months.
mircea_popescu: Swedish bitcoin exchange Safello has secured
a $600,000 investment that it hopes will push it into the wider European market. The exchange, which launched its service last August, can now count bitcoin luminaries Erik Voorhees and Roger Ver among its investors.

a whole culture been so thoroughly discriminated against by the forces of reality.

a shame that y combinator is now understood to be
a shitty us gambling operation

a regular basis, I find that hilarious.

a skill derived from failing continously up until that point.
ThickAsThieves: “There is only one thing that makes
a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”
mircea_popescu: bones` this sounds smart but it is really just
a moving of the trash under the rug
bones`: blah blah Edison, 1000 ways
a lightbulb doesn't work
mircea_popescu: do fail in such
a manner as to advance the common truths
deadweasel: Jere_Jones: it's best to always think you're totally incompetent, until you are the expert in
a field.
bones`: Jere_Jones, reducing the number of unknown unknowns is
a good thing, but takes time
Jere_Jones:
A label that must be applied by
a third party?
Jere_Jones: Seems to me that being incompetent is
a transitional phase that must be passed through. The key is to minimize outside exposure to my incompetence while I work through it?

a big jump.

a 5 atc tax.
Jere_Jones: So "scam" is used, not as an attack on one's character, but as
a characterization of their trustability?
ThickAsThieves: hey i asked for no service, what are you
a government?
mircea_popescu: because it is impossible to establish malice at all,
a difference predicated upon establishing malice is meaningless.
☟︎ Jere_Jones: Speaking of scams, I have always thought, and the dictionary agrees with me, that
a scam was defined by dishonesty. BingoBoingo made
a comment that
a scame is defined by "not paying". Whether not paying is due to malice, incompetince, or
a natural disaster is irrelevant.
mircea_popescu: they are
a community. in 1800s bucharest there was

pankkake: scammers and beggars are
a community
mircea_popescu: the entire alt community couldn't burn down one of my pubes if someone lent them
a stair and matches.
mircea_popescu: "tysat, if you believe they are pump and dumps, seriously who do you think is behind it? mtgox? the btc elites? honestly, if someone is pumping and dumping in an organised way, as
a means of screwing new investors then the entire alt community should hunt them down"

a satire of an overwrought technical manager
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell cads: "they started
a tv channel
a couple years ago, and were acquired for 20 mil by
a holding company that same year." i think you don't fully appreciate the impact of tax optimization on all these deals.
ThickAsThieves: Secretary Kerry warns climate change is
a 'weapon of mass destruction'
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell duffer1 it's unclear you can do much shaping, specifically because of the weapons grade idiots. basically your choices will be whether you want them to spell stupid with
a b or p, d or t. otherwise... stubid is stupit.
mircea_popescu: the pejorative term for
a thief should also be replaced with the less neutral ribera d'alcala.

a kink, and yadda yadda yadda condoms, safe words, etc
bones`: To protect the children who live on
a remote rural area with no access to internet who still have yet to see "little tits, big tits, massive tits that have smaller tits orbiting around them"
