phf: well,
there is
the wot,
though nobody here as far as i know is buying/selling.
there was also bitcoin-otc, which from what i hear died. i actually
tried buying 10btc from a guy
that was in bitcoin-otc wot, but we were l3, and he understandably bulked
☟︎ BingoBoingo: mats: Well gotta explain
the problem in layers. First is people. Next is substance.
Then...
phf: probably what
thestringpuller means is
that "we" (he's speaking
to a bunch of reddit anons, so i assume it's purely rhetorical) don't have a wot based market.
phf: Framedragger: i was saying hawala as an alternative
to bitcoin.
that was when we were looking closely at
the implementation and finding all kinds of insanity. hawala is a system for
tracking long
term exposure, and you forego collateral because you have "fuck same woman" wot (i suspect
there's still collateral involved when exposure is
too high). you don't need hawal when you have near instant calls.
☟︎ mats: i'd be disappointed if
that made its way into qntra
BingoBoingo: ;;later
tell covertress You gotta get other parties WoT'd up for your press releases
to make it
to media distribution.
a111: Logged on 2016-04-04 16:22 phf: given
the state of
things, i'm not convinced
that hawala is
the worst we can do
Framedragger: implied
tags will bring us satan,
true, but eh

this is why blue
to me is green
to you
Framedragger:

this
to me seems
to be a confusion between metaphysical and epistemological relativism. "what green is
to me" is more
to do with
the latter, and cannot be used
to support full-blown idealism (as in berkeley), or "there are multiple universes", or anything else which has specific *metaphysical* commitments.
☝︎ covertress waves goodbye
to mircea_popescu and leaves also
mircea_popescu: anyway, i shall go festejar el dia de "lxs ninxs" con las
trabajadoras sexuales in constitucion, "barrio donde por la niche muchos no desean
transitar".
covertress: not everyone is ready
to be
the center of
their own universe,
this is
true
mircea_popescu: well aa folks are kinda stuck with
this god-but-its-not-god
thing...
covertress: danielpbarron:
the only
time I hear "universe" confused with 'god' is from AA members.
danielpbarron: pass me
the bong when you're done babysitting it, wouldja?
covertress: at
the same
time, I
think
that everyone is within
their own universe
danielpbarron: i don't even care for
the
term universe; it's usually used as a replacement for God, personified and everything ala "the universe did X"
covertress: I'm of
the opinion
that
there is only one universe
mircea_popescu: covertress
traditionally
theories are not believed or disbelieved ;
that's more of a religious practice.
covertress: belief in
the
theory
that multiple universes exist
danielpbarron: multiverse is a contradiction in
terms. a universe is already one everything. whatever you call a "multi"-verse is really
the whole "uni"-verse redefined
mircea_popescu: you mean, in everett's gun sense so dear
to alf's heart ?
mircea_popescu: Bey Once. you know,
the singin' an' bootyshaking lord of
the lordship of once.
mircea_popescu: country of africaman, has internet, has not map, has not perl, has not way
to make lists, has no countrylist datastructure, has nothing.
mircea_popescu: on't add me.

talk and I will help you be a member... Once again if you are not serious d
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz, "I am here

think of adding me or sending me a message because I won't be happy with you.but if you know you are serious and ready

to know each other more better. If you wanna be famous like rihanna, jazzy, Eminem,rick Ross, Lil Wayne, bey once and so
covertress: have you
tried Ancho Chili? wonderful flavor yet mild.
covertress: try a
trad red bell pepper next
to a ghost chili. ;)
covertress: I grow my own Japapenos next
to Jabaneros, so
they cross-polinate and become hotter.
mircea_popescu: delicious
things, not even hot. barely flavoured one pot.
mircea_popescu: you should see
these people. i bought
two hot peppers,
they sold
them with nuclear warhead warnings.
mircea_popescu: tho i couldn't be arsed
to make it anymore
than cazu marzu.
mircea_popescu: ah, not so simple as all
that. depends what mood i wake up in et all.
covertress: mircea_popescu yes,
there is an art
to
timing
the meal. comes with practice.
mircea_popescu: covertress yeah ok, but say shrimp needs 40 seconds ; veal maybe 70 ? whereas
the mushrooms five fucking minutes or w/e.
covertress: mircea_popescu, you never eat
this way at home? always go out?
mircea_popescu: though in general
this is
the job of
the god damned cook, which is why i don't eat just anywhere.
mircea_popescu: ~the only
thing i liked about it was
that
the meat was cut very
thin and you could hold-cook it
to a very fine degree.
mats: 'hot pot' is a
thing, but i've not seen a chinese place with hot plates unless
they're also korean fusion or something
covertress: Japanese do
this also, with a central-table soup pot everyone shares.
mircea_popescu: this is everyfucking where heh. but sure, in
the coupla blocks of ba
that constitute
the "china
town", between a kitchy gate and
two dragon statues.
mircea_popescu: there's a hot plate built in
the
table
to cook your own meat
mircea_popescu: mats no. you sit down,
they ask what kind of WINE you want if any ; and
then
they bring you 30 plates
mats: i've never been
to
the chinese restaurant where
they just bring you stuff
mircea_popescu: in any case it is much better
to have food, kill you slowly and
the quod me nutrit bridge
than just repeat 餐飲 until you fall down and
then be worshipped as a very wise man - hey, 5k yo wisdom "directly applicable"
today.
mircea_popescu: anyway. a large part of
the problem with "i
think better in symbols" is exactly evident here : sure, you
think you do, much like dude in bathtub feels he's going faster. nevertheless YOU CANT FUCKING EXPLAIN WHAT YOU
THOUGHT.
mircea_popescu: moreover,
this is exactly
their first run in with first world problems.
there's no history
to go by.
mircea_popescu: the problem is russians are, for all
their ridiculous orcishness, still white people.
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't go as far as
that. but not entirely unfamiliar.
mircea_popescu: yeah well,
this is chinese restaurant.
they don't do al a carte,
they just bring you stuff.
mircea_popescu: sure. it'll
take a while
to dissolve. maybe even... a coupla decades ?
mircea_popescu: it's not expected
this iteration will yield "better pci". merely - pci
that you don't pay
the license for.
mircea_popescu: it's a much larger and more complex
task like
that ; best get
the small discrete
tip sorted out first.
shinohai: I decided
to stuff
the whole
thing in an .img file so you don't have
to reinvent
the whole server wheel every
time
mircea_popescu: o yeah how's
that monster project coming along shinohai ?
shinohai: ben_vulpes: i didn't have
to do anything
to get it all
to work besides diff and apply phf 's patch and directions
