mircea_popescu: <decimation> and by 'invade your person' I mean 'subject to arbitrary measures of physical control << they still doing the "freeze" kindergarten game in airports ?
mircea_popescu: <devthedev> What do you think would be the best way to handle MPEx shares for Qntra? << whatr do you ean handle ?
mircea_popescu: so what of it, kids loving their father is the seal of fathering failure.
mircea_popescu: <decimation> I suspect that few of the young apprentices that mircea_popescu mentioned ended up dispising the masters who showed them how dumb they were << actually, if the periodic apprentice riots are anything to go by, they probably resented their masters to their grave.
mircea_popescu: Adlai i think english speakers mistreat their children horribly.
mircea_popescu: the only disgusting thing is that a minority of kids today are mistreated by not being so treated.
mircea_popescu: Adlai in england you mean ? usually when he's old enough and skilled enough to practice a trade
mircea_popescu: the process built like 99% of any english speaker worth a name in all history.
mircea_popescu: pretty much every snotty brat got shipped off to slave labour at the age of about 7.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, this isn't some sort of crazy altenrate world. one of the chief pillars of english prosperity, not just financial but espexcially intellectual, was the flourishing free market in children they had.
mircea_popescu: much like the vast majority of people writing should be charged
mircea_popescu: i think a vanishingly small minority of parents actually adds value through parenting.
mircea_popescu: any helicopter mom can run the mouth for longer than anyone can maintain an erection.
mircea_popescu: if you're going to put up with parenting level bullshit you might as well answer one of those "will rent for cocksucking" craigslist ads.
mircea_popescu: this is plainly untrue. if teenager rent is null then pretty much any woman's rent is also null.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i've yet to meet adults that made less than teenager allowance.
mircea_popescu: * Adlai is a bit puzzled by the incentives arising from s.qntr's share model... authors are incentivized to write the longest possible article which will pass review, while the editor is incentivized to pick the shortest available article on a specific subject << works i guess.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> larval cycle where you are supported by external wires (parents, student debt, etc.) << clearly spending your own money as you see fit should be a better position than begging mom/govt. so if that's what it is then... yeah, waste it. it sucks.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> or is there a set of staff authors ... ? << set as in brothel. anyone can submit for an audition
mircea_popescu: <cazalla> so regards to finding additional author, on the about page i added must be in wot + 6 months #b-a logs, i'm happy to loosen requirements if article quality is up to par, what do people think? << yah if they're in the wot at all and they submit something that's decent should be ok
mircea_popescu: still, you gotta gimme something. don't use standard stuff, don't homebrew, what then ? wait for god ?
mircea_popescu: provided he's given peashooters as a kid and encouraged to shoot himself till he gets tired of it.
mircea_popescu: ideally, by the time he's old enough to have a gun he has enough experience with peashooters to know better.
mircea_popescu: who/what had that tagline ? "you won't believe what happens next"
mircea_popescu: i suppose the user-friendliest solution would be to get a cheapo cert and then redirect it via mod_rewrite
mircea_popescu: it doesn't actually add any security, costs money and adds complexity.
mircea_popescu: also pete_dushenski, mike_c, RagnarDanneskjol, other interested parties ^
mircea_popescu: Adlai it's how they squandered their original trust capital
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla they all got raped because they thought themselves smarter than the b-a crowd.
mircea_popescu: Adlai it's pretty well established that bitfinex are derpy already.
mircea_popescu: i guess what you mean is that the better pr is built atop of news
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves> fake it til you make it, what kinda amurican are you? << he's an aussie lol
mircea_popescu: Cadet Clevinger was court-martialed for breaking ranks while in formation, felonious assault, indiscriminate behavior, mopery, high treason, provoking, being a smart-guy, listening to classical music, and so on.
mircea_popescu: i guess thickasthieves has a point, how's that different from someone being an author. it all boils down to sending stuff to cazalla see if he approves it.
mircea_popescu: i'd rather see aff links put deliberately than allowing random derps to send their "press releases". it'll turn it into a trade mag, which is bad.
mircea_popescu: cleannest surgical strike in the history of surgical strike, guy took out a country the size of a continent in one evening.
mircea_popescu: but what;'s much worse : they WILL be replaced. ruining things forever.
mircea_popescu: which is what osama wanted, actually. that was the fucking point of killing most of the financial minds over there : they'd be irreplaceable, for one thing,
