mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel theyre all like that, finance's been taken over by aluminum siding salesmen in the us.
mircea_popescu: anyway, this is the deeper meh fuck it, ima go write an article.
mircea_popescu: so far all that's coming out of this recipe are wrecks.
mircea_popescu: generally it's not understood that money is a burden, not a boon, and this current child porn cultural trend (i don't just mean squirreling away pictures of 12 yo girls split open, i mean the actual trend, a widespread and cvasi universal obsession with youths) is mixing the worst ingredients : child-hydrazine with money-methanol (it WILL make you blind, if you drink it!)
mircea_popescu: i know numerous such wrecks, trying to make ends meet at 40something, after having run exactly on those premises, "too much opm, too little time to think" a decade or two ago
mircea_popescu: i mean they don't get it, because at 29 it seems like it's forever.
mircea_popescu: "Jaron Lukasiewicz is the CEO and Founder of Coinsetter, a New York City-based company that offers a high performance ECN trading platform and exchange for bitcoin."
mircea_popescu: i guess the original lulz, "3 years' experience" has meanwhile morphed into "30+ hours' research" ? what's next ?
mircea_popescu: apparently, 30+ hours of research and "numerous meetings" are not sufficient grounding for an informed opinion.
mircea_popescu: "After 30+ hours of research and numerous meetings on the topic, we finally feel we have a strong understanding of Ripple and its place in the financial world versus Bitcoin."
mircea_popescu: mp : "Fatal congenital defect #1. Ripple requires any participant to trust other participants blindly." ; derps "oh mp you don't understand how it works!11"
mircea_popescu: o look at that shit! "A network-wide weakness in how both Ripple and Stellar communicated transactions was exploited by an unknown third-party to to deposit false IOUs through Ripple/Stellar"
mircea_popescu: cazalla "wherein transactions may may be credited for amounts far greater than the actual amount"
mircea_popescu: but i tell you he coulda said it about buenos aires, comuna 1 just as well
mircea_popescu: obviously about mobile or whatever other repugnant old dixie hellhole he normally inhabited
mircea_popescu: so cash went "On a Sunday morning sidewalk, I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned. 'Cause there's something in a Sunday that makes the body feel alone. And there's nothing short a' dying that's half as lonesome as the sound of the sleeping city sidewalk and Sunday morning coming down."
mircea_popescu: im pretty sure it expired by now anyway, it was a 2004 run. so go right ahead.
mircea_popescu: RagnarDanneskjol yeah, it was optioned at some point but it never came to anything.
mircea_popescu: cazalla: anyone ever heard of people buying fkn rattlesnakes from silk road type sites before? << yes, actually, i knew a derp raising pot and poisonous reptiles in romania. fortunately he had no idea what the web is, but otherwise, exactly what lanky ragaddy hair hippy you'd expect for the role.
mircea_popescu: what's next ? cuz once started the meta train never ends.
mircea_popescu: decimation: lois lerner was 'targeted' << interesting how meta that country is getting. so, sane people worry about being struck, usians worry about being "targeted" because it may stand for being struck ?
mircea_popescu: better filters. a braindamaged 1950s version of agile, if you wish.
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03: my understanding of the digest system is shallow, and i've been hesitant to do any serious filtering in the event i miss something <<< in computers generally, understood as the php-machine (ie, text processing, the actual porn that drove early computing), this approach has proven flawed. it is more effectual and more efficient to make a set of filters that delivers *something* and then make more passes with
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03 how are you proceeding anyway ? which keys are you reading ?
mircea_popescu: so a site acct may be the least evil solution to a dilemma. not much of a consideration until it's actually big.
mircea_popescu: not, obviously, publish for the links. but, plenty of people in the speaking business have books they're trying to push, it'll be pretty hard to keep them out as the site grows.
mircea_popescu: that could be a legitimate revenue source for qntra, if it grows up a little.
mircea_popescu: cazalla and fwiw, i see no problem promoting the ravi guy, if he makes a sale or two out of the feature even better, he's ok. but generally speaking.
mircea_popescu: it's just, there's the world wide web, whioch is a collection of text, and then there's the paypal-blergh, which is a collection of bs. linking to a blog/webpage is different from linking to an online shop

mircea_popescu: whether it is or it isn;t, people on the internet don't spend much time to reach a conclusion
mircea_popescu: i have no idea what their codes look like, i go by "is there anything past the address". in this case www.amazon.in/God-Gamer-Ravi-Subramanian-ebook/dp/B00MY74DJG << makes me think that's an affiliate code.
mircea_popescu: even worse perhaps for bitcoiners, who aren't great fans of either, or what they stand for.
mircea_popescu: that's a complicated discussion. maybe. on the other hand, plenty of people are put off by seeing amazon/ebay links, makes them mentally dioscount the whole page/site as "one of those"
mircea_popescu: well yeah, if it's not worth linking it's not worth linking.
mircea_popescu: well as a general policy, links to stuff like that (amazon, ebay, artist's own ecommerce site, etc) either hapen through an aff link and income is then reported or don't happen

A second card from trusted third party also failed to approve the later charges. $1000 in bail was successfully
mircea_popescu: cazalla if you don't have a static ip it will, yes. how badly unstatic is it ? if it's a.b.*.* locking it down to just those is reasonably useful anyway
