mircea_popescu: i dun credit this. you kill a guy, you've killed some guy. there's no "i had to kill him", is there ? there's no "i had to eat this icecream". you eat it, you get fat, you don't, you don't.
mircea_popescu: i don't see it. so in both cases you don't feel like sleeping that week
mircea_popescu: my schedule is utterly irregular if it helps anything.
mircea_popescu: she's made all that out of someone dropping the wrong shit i nthe bag ?
mircea_popescu: dude rly ? this chick is easily the most annoying shrill pest at any party.
mircea_popescu: "She even managed to gracefully handle the incessant "point of order" type questioning from the one guy in the back, who always has to ask a stream of arcane academic questions that are irrelevant to anyone living in the real world."
mircea_popescu: it's just this bucket shop where you can pretend like you're trading bitcoin
mircea_popescu: "Plus if you lose, you lose magic beans that were worthless anyway."
mircea_popescu: "There's another fun gotcha: the winnings are paid out in bitcoin. So if bitcoin falls, and you win the bet, the value of the magic beans you won also goes down."
mircea_popescu: duh. because bitcoin people are stupid, in both cases. why else ?
mircea_popescu: "Why not addressing one of the several elephants in the room? Why is 90% of their revenue from recruiting new investonomers? Why is the exchange owner taking such a huge role in "educating" his "investors"? Why is every single company co-owned by the exchange owner?"
mircea_popescu: omg lok at that, kakobrekla is still on account #4. what happened there, their mods got thrown in jail or something ?
mircea_popescu: "o no but it relaly helps, we've just not found out what yet"
mircea_popescu: The20YearIRCloud: I'd hope that driving rates below zero and seeing little inflation would be more of a sign to keneysian economists that believe that inflation is solely driven by interest rates << there's no possible significance to keynesians anymore. they're a cult by now, like the collodial silver derps.
mircea_popescu: jurov: tl;dr: there is surprising health stuff we hide from ourselves because of our own culture << interesting, the chlamyda story.
mircea_popescu: jurov: obv the joke itself wasn't broadcast << yeah i think you can say that. what was it, 70s ?
mircea_popescu: artifexd: My "copper rounds" just showed up. They *are* nice. << which are these ?
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: It is unfortunately not possible to release HW-1 with an open firmware << lol
mircea_popescu: no, i'm eusocial, and i take offense at the dilution of terminology.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller the entire "eusocial" bs is little more than socialist propaganda.
mircea_popescu: but because they cost less to produce and less to maintain
mircea_popescu: there's more ants than people alive not because ants are better tea company
mircea_popescu: this is usually obvious in computer game design. if there's a warrior, a mage and an archer, having them all "equally powerful" defeats the point of having 3 of them. having them "differently powerful" often reduces to the former.
mircea_popescu: it's universal this, absent universally pervasive dedication to diversity, diversity flounders because by its very definition it's multiple examples are not all equally fit.
mircea_popescu: well, the accident that guncotton is not made out of cottons while guns are made out of fllailed earth had something to do with it.
mircea_popescu: but if you try make all teh places run on the same software...
mircea_popescu: have a pedo state, send all pedos there, have a 1950s household, send all 1950s types to utah, and so on and so forth
mircea_popescu: anyway, what irks me isn't the weirdo stuff in the us as much as the memetic tendency. if it worked like, "if you want women to park anywhere and bakers to bake anything, go to ohio ; if you want women to not be allowed to park anywhere, go to montana" etc it'd be fine.
mircea_popescu: which is why so much lobby to not distinguish natural and manufactured women
mircea_popescu: it's quite logical, if you care to follow the twisted remants of logic inside the system
mircea_popescu: in principle, disallowing absurd selection practices for employers may be unavoidable. otherwise, think of that church idiot and his "advice"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform also, the thing you cite is employment law.
mircea_popescu: ha! i beat someone to it for once, even if it was 2nd pass.
mircea_popescu: diametric may have a point. you can prolly ge away with a community agreement where every tenant has to play scrabble or some shit
mircea_popescu: let teenagers suck the cock and do the integrals, wtf are they for.
mircea_popescu: does that russian forum actually expect someone to type out (2/3 * x ** (2/3))/((3/4 * x ** (3/4) -(6/7 * x ** (6/7) )+x as a reply to a captcha ?
mircea_popescu: but it's simple pattern recognition, right ? of the ilk of "what is x2 + y2 + 2xy"
mircea_popescu: im not even sure i could do integration by hand, outside of recognising the formulaic equivalents.
mircea_popescu: the idea holds water tho. money is supposed to work as an iq-meter.
mircea_popescu: yeah well, partisan dugouts in the us may have to wait a few years.
mircea_popescu: well yeah. was a bunch o people, they got building permit and proceeded to built like at home. concrete pillars, brick walls etc.
