mircea_popescu: pretty much all professions have
a trade rag and
a trade show
punkman: do all animals have
a conference?
punkman: Apocalyptic: Black Mirror was fun, especially the first one: "
a much-loved member of the Royal Family, is kidnapped. For her safe return, the Prime Minister must have sexual intercourse with
a pig on national television."
mike_c: yeah, but i couldn't see the video because it was on edgecast. on
a different connection now and it works. thanks for the link.
mircea_popescu: KRS1 i went through
a few of that and game of thrones during an hour once
Apocalyptic: it's not even
a tv serie as in the episodes are completely unrelated to each other
pankkake: I'm not used to read long things on
a computer. Except amateur porn stories I guess
mircea_popescu: what's this, like
a telenovella, people are supposedly working but nobody does anything ever.
mircea_popescu: seems to me if you pay
a woman to read trilema
a slave is you.
pankkake: hm. so I should get
a slave to TL;DR it for me
mircea_popescu: because it couldn't produce
a total figure for porcines in the country
BingoBoingo: punkman:
A number of the AMD Thinkpads don't or at least shouldn't have that (May lack that and possess something else). I think the X140e is the newest of that bunch.
KRS1: The day the deli was invented in the 1920s..well, this was
a sacred day. Long live the deli.
turbo_ac100: I like the austrian way but prefer
a real business obv.
mircea_popescu: washing machines, at least what i've seen, contain
a 20 to 50lb piece of concrete
turbo_ac100: punkman: difficult. It depends: for washing machines you have to have
a license to repair it. The pricing is insane
turbo_ac100: for the non obvious things it works like this: sedn the device to some guy knowing his shit, pay
a fixed amount that covers
a basic fix (~20€) and get it debugged
azi`: to change the topic
a bit so what's this thing with shrem, was he actually
a shady guy?
punkman: though I agree, throwing away
a perfectly good TV with
a blow capacitor is an incredible waste
azi`: yeah but it probably costs
a lot because the infrastructure for debugging is not built
punkman: azi`: it costs
a lot to debug modern electronics, not trivial
azi`: its in
a way crazy that we just throw stuff when something trivial breaks off
turbo_ac100: well,
a repair website is. Not complicated stuff, just more or less an ifixit done right
turbo_ac100: I have
a repair business and want to find stuff in eastern europe
ThickAsThieves: davout, it's poor ability to scale and questionable typography are signs they didn't hire
a quality pro
pankkake: sometimes it multiples the btcs by
a random number that makes no sense and adds
a $, is that css?
mircea_popescu: god forbid they start making
a living at it, it'll be the death of os.
mircea_popescu: it's bad enough with fucktards
a la maxwell or hearn hanging on to the thing just for the "fame"
mircea_popescu: pankkake tips are exactly the wrong thing in that they would split the community into two types, the actual devs and the people who make
a living pretending to be devs.
pankkake: I'd certainly like
a bounty system for open source devs, but I'm not very convinced "tips" can work and reward the right people
kakobrekla: just use
a pic or two, each is worth
a thousand words
the20year: I really didn't think
a 30pg biz plan/prosectus would be too long with what we're posting on HL

a lot of money

a porcupine to death.

a lot of damage arguing the case to all hell.

a 5 year tops first offense you get out in six months.
mike_c: i am curious how the havelock crowd will react to what is at least
a good fiat investment.
mircea_popescu: giving us citizens more reasons to travel abroad isn't such

a lot of things, yet they still do it

a blanket on it and hit it with
a shovel"

a clue as these dudes explaining bitcoin.
libbelol: then i just added
a lol once on irc, because libbe was taken (after i had been using it on quakenet for like 4 years+)
mircea_popescu: i blame pestalozzi, personally. if every nine year old girl was given the choice of losing
a finger
a week or learning math like
a pro we wouldn't have these problems
dub: you should have
a climate sexchange
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: you ever pay anyone 1btc to stick
a sharpie in their mouth? ;p
nubbins`: did i ever tell you guys that we once made
a bespoke children's book for
a single dad?
Apocalyptic: "maybe there is
a backdoor somewhere in bitcoin"
ThickAsThieves: what i mean is like if mp made
a coin called Mircea Popescu
nubbins`: there never would have been
a coinye.
nubbins`: if kanye had done this, he could have picked
a cool logo AND
a better name
nubbins`: "pay us to submit
a photo so you don't get stuck with

ozbot: Starting
a new FPGA mining farm/contract Cognitive Resurrected on[Havelock]
mircea_popescu: conceivably forbes wanted to say that you can't short bitcoin as
a support for "it's
a bubble" or w/e "editorial policy" they had
mircea_popescu: yeah, the thing with journos is, often their editor gives them
a thing to write. like the wired kid HAD TO say some shit about "nouveau riche" in his piece, because.
mike_c: right. light bulb. that is
a significant difference between shorting with options vs. x.eur :)
twizt: yo ThickAsThieves i heard ur making
a game
mircea_popescu: shorting in
a paper market is riskier than going long actually.
twizt: TSLA prolly not
a bad buy imo
mircea_popescu: he's exposed on the index, which is always
a bad idea if you feel you're overextended.
twizt: damn i hate having such
a large emini spoos position on
mircea_popescu: i was gonna say, not necessarily
a disqualifying point
mircea_popescu: (not that i'd fly to the us without
a handwritten note from the president saying that any usg personnel coming within five feet on me is to be shot on the spot)
ThickAsThieves: mp takes the stand "Bitcoin doesn't give
a fuck what you think. [drops mic]"
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves because i actually think what they do is
a waste of time.
nubbins`: after
a certain point it's just crass to mock
nubbins`: i'd like to do
a run of shirts mocking the foundation but there's almost no point
nubbins`: except for
a few -10s from scammers
mircea_popescu: drugs only exist as
a post-victorian construct, much like "children" in the sense of little angels that don't enjoy the c0k
