punkman: it's
a homophone of κυρίαρχοι, which means sovereign/overlord
mircea_popescu: punkman why exactly ? kyriarchy, the natural, normal, good and healthy mode of society, which

nubbins`: deadweasel, popping out kids is essentially pushing
a reset switch. if you haven't yet done what you feel you need to do with your life, it's too soon :D
mircea_popescu: and why is that provider not
a govt agency paid for by the govt out of taxes, as it should be ?
deadweasel: exactly, more conditioning. I'm saying I'm aware of my own conditioning, to
a degree, thank god. but my 'part' would be my perceived 'value' to my 'family' 'nation' etc. We have all sorts of beliefs warping our minds.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla that case will be interesting, too, if the kid somehow finds the resources to not sign
a plea bargain.
deadweasel: i still sometimes believe fi I get
a wife and pop
a couple kids out, and manage to keep them fed that I've done my 'part'. it's
a farce of course.
mircea_popescu: and she goes... "well great, we'll be abjectly poor and finally have

a chance to become

a little at namecheaps new edsign
mircea_popescu: just
a summary at the end, perhaps one of the two "we decided we'r too stupid to get mixed up usefully" "we're unaware we're too stupid and will mix ourselves into it"
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves srsly,
a blow by blow of some irrelevant proceeding in some 3rd world pesthole is
a bit much.
pankkake: altcoins with low value per unit still seem to have
a power of attraction
mircea_popescu: that'd be missing
a fundamental ingredient in the psychology of the scammer.
mircea_popescu: by the time
a bitcoin is over 10k it'll be almost breathable in the "community"
mircea_popescu: the only way cognitive was
a "desirable" asset was when the herpitude of the multitude was still fresh.
mircea_popescu: is this the 17yo who figures he's
a player on the strength of also having
a keyboard
kakobrekla: >I too agree that in order for Cognitive to be wildly successful like it once was more people need to come on board on the management front, preferably shareholders, because we all have
a vested interest in the company succeeding as opposed to contracted workers.
kakobrekla: lmao,
a whole weekend worth of relationship.
kakobrekla: >Edit: The Avalon chips that were purchased using FIMB funds are now sitting in

lippoper: "The only thing holding back precious metals right now is the fact that the USA can print money, buy gold in London anonymously, sell it at
a loss, print more money to cover the loss, and repeat as required to drive the price down to whatever it wants. This is only possible because Gold is vastly undervalued so it does not take many dollars to be able to engage in this kind of manipulation"

a boner from making ~12k doges while it's falling in price, day trading is exciting. .bait

a standards-noncompliant, half baked, buggy implementation of half of rfc2795.
jurov: unlike bitcon it already has
a RFC spec
jurov: dragon's tale has
a monkey game
mircea_popescu: i;m kind-of dissapoint that nobody has come up with some sort of forum-"financial" product centered around
a monkey
mircea_popescu: this'd depend on your definition of "
a killing" and on the faith you put in the numbers advanced by well known liars.
lippoper: they made
a killing if anything

a) legitimately high ; b) much higher in fact than your myopia allows you to see.
mircea_popescu: once your brains no longer has

mircea_popescu: as long as your brains thinks there's
a correct language to have and extras as modules to it, it keeps forgetting them
davout: no, but I have
a pill that will make you rich, it'll be 1 BTC sir

a pill that will make me cultured?

a decent starting point.
