mircea_popescu: somehow i've never noticed it before, but chicks in this country have positively gorgeous hair
mircea_popescu: you gonna get butthurt if i tell you your though process would drastically benefit from more rigor ?
mircea_popescu: whereas for all you know in bitcoin twelve whales get together in a secret chan somehwere and that's how the price moves ?
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves do you understand that as dubious as charts are generally, which we won't rehash, at least generally there's the atomic market ?
mircea_popescu: maybe my needs are unrepresentative, but i find they're served equally well by any of the older providers. bitcoincharts, bitcoinity, whatevers.
mircea_popescu: generally what everyone thinks is the thing to do is wrong, which is why the "never compete in saturated markets" advice's served me so well over the years.
mircea_popescu: not to be a parade pisser, but there's problems lurking.
mircea_popescu: putting most work into != trying hardest necessarily. besides, what's this hardest, taking exchange feeds ?
mircea_popescu: this being kinda why all the however many exchange feed centralizers went nowhere.
mircea_popescu: everyone does want to know the price, but a speshal few know you wouldn't know anyway.
mircea_popescu: you will become the reddit index provider, which is not how you feed that market. you don't make goof stuff for the consumers, you make cheap shitty stuff for them
mircea_popescu: you won't become the dominant index provider because people who matter don't chart and people who chart don't matter.
mircea_popescu: that's the risk, you put the work in, "traders" love it, then it turns out the "traders" are 500 redditards all sunk to the hilt in bitfinex/bitjam/whatever
mircea_popescu: what have all these other schmucks been doing ever since this chan started ?
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves the way people do. you write down the task, break it up, write down the parts, break them up, read up on the topics, implement, refine...
mircea_popescu: "oh, everything is on wikipedia" is not curation. why the fuck would i want google to return a wikipedia result in the first place, what, as if i don't know they probably have a shitty article sort-of talking around topic x ?
mircea_popescu: and google is the shittiest curator imaginable. people in commie romania thought they had it bad, but this is pointedly worse.
mircea_popescu: it'd certainly be useful for linux-y types, me and google divorced when it took out the operands.
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves i suspect this is like the "myspace, music industry killer" idea a decade ago. yeah, it'd work, if people didn't suck. people do suck, and as a result, myspace dies.
mircea_popescu: jurov which is why this is so useful : try and do it for search, high volume and low risk, see if anything useful can be done algorithmically.
mircea_popescu: a distributed replacement for google might be a pretty damned good idea
mircea_popescu: well the way i read it it's not referring to anything, merely refusing to commit to anything.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller so look straight in buffett's letters.
mircea_popescu: i'd be much suprised if ibm actually MADE anything, even a decade ago.
mircea_popescu: * asciilifeform looks forward to the possibility of the coprophagiac zoos of western eu waking up to the fact that what turned them into such was - nato. << at least the warsaw pact countries figured it out.
mircea_popescu: so this dingy old laptop is converting two movies and playing a third
mircea_popescu: anyway, orlov's putin reads like mp. which i guess is a good thing for all those involved.
mircea_popescu: we are making it, right here, and it specifically excludes "russia" in the sense of "putin"
mircea_popescu: Whether or not a new world order of any sort is to be built is not just Russia's decision, but it is a decision that will not be made without Russia. << this is false incidentally.
mircea_popescu: also, this is by no means the first or the most mommentuous "?speaking directly to the public"
mircea_popescu: they're pretty awful at reporting anything of substance.
mircea_popescu: the "what utility is the sun to us" line seems cribbed.
mircea_popescu: well the mongolian police will use their fists, but anyway :D
mircea_popescu: <dub> lets not forget those two women worked for the CIA << srsly, this works ?
mircea_popescu: <undata> Sweden sounds like a socialist hellhole nanny state. << that's because it is.
mircea_popescu: same deal with strauss-kahn, and with berlusconi, and generally, what's in a late claim.
mircea_popescu: remember all the fame-seeking ditzy bitches trying to claim assange raped them too ?
mircea_popescu: im pretty sure the idea is to sign the txt not the html
mircea_popescu: punkman you know htmlizing chars is horribru practice.
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: i am unable to verify two of the 5 processed deeds: <<< software never fails eh stan ? if it worked once it always works right ? :DF
mircea_popescu: punkman: so apparently I need to download everyone's key to bot pubring <<< how else.
mircea_popescu: "oh i know, let's go for double whammy! that'll teach us!"
mircea_popescu: assbot: Bitcoin Foundation: We Don’t Want Everyone Starting a Bitcoin Business << lmao these fucking idiots.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: logs are great, but this shit will benefit strongly from a mailman list record of actions and discussions. << word.
mircea_popescu: dude, i walk away for a minute, everyone;'s on a roll lol
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i guess, yeah. not clear what was there.
mircea_popescu: not all management gets this "union only" sort of coverage.
mircea_popescu: pretty much the direct equivalent of the "tough on rape" laws that simply made sure every rape victim will ALSO be a homicide victim
mircea_popescu: i wonder if the fucktard "justice" warriors realise that their constant if innefectual nipping at the heels means that anyone involved who can afford it will in fact spend the money and clobber everyone in range.
