mircea_popescu: SuchWow amusingly enough : even if you were added to assbot l2 : you probably would not up yoruself every time you joined
mircea_popescu: i am guess this whole shebang is quite revolutionary. it doesn't sit well with irc traditionz at all.
mircea_popescu: SuchWow you could just read the logs on the webpage i guess
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo in fairness emily was quite adept, netiquette et all.
mircea_popescu: willy nilly bitcoin forces a lot of fiat know nothings into here.
mircea_popescu: not wish. but sometimes people need to be here that are noobs.
mircea_popescu: and i don't just mean people who don't know irc. i mean people who barely grok computers.
mircea_popescu: but instead says "sorry, this person has nothing to say"
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla how difficult would it be to have yet another assbot list and a command. if someone goes !novoice then assbot never 30min voices them again
mircea_popescu: SuchWow i guess one way to go about it is ignore assbot.
mircea_popescu: <SuchWow> i have no desire to go to that site lol <fluffypony> well then you can't have perm voice. << i like how neatly this works. army-like almost.
mircea_popescu: <RebeccaBitcoin> Although I could be an imposter, so thats not cool Although I could be an imposter, so thats not cool << impostor of... whom ? some chick on the interwebs ?
mircea_popescu: <decimation> because blacks vote 99% democrat, therefore making their opinions on any political matter void << i dun think this is true.
mircea_popescu: <decimation> bezzle finance did pretty well << insanely well.
mircea_popescu: <decimation> if that day comes I claim FDR's head << good thing to claim.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeah but i suspect he likes it in the way of pick up a rifle and form a picket.
mircea_popescu: The20YearIRCloud you're like, a proud ohio citizen or something, are ya ?
mircea_popescu: just because rural folk are slow doesn't mean they're immune from falling.
mircea_popescu: it's a matter of size not quality. once the pig is ripe, it gets sliced.
mircea_popescu: illinois is bigger and richer than ohio. so is california. so is ny. that is all.
mircea_popescu: only because some states have stuff to be leached and some don't.
mircea_popescu: wherever you houise it, washington or akron, they'll take a bus
mircea_popescu: inasmuch as there's a public treasury somewhere, there's going to be a troop of people forcing it open.
mircea_popescu: the current system didn't exist before it was needed either.
mircea_popescu: The20YearIRCloud trust me, new gerrymandering would be invented.
mircea_popescu: sure. but if there were no feds, the same money would still be available.
mircea_popescu: the entire "federal funds" thing has nothing to do with anything. they're not "federal" funds in any sense.
mircea_popescu: what i mean is, the porkbarrel leeches that curently push and deform washington
mircea_popescu: (maryland excepted. i have nfi idea what it's even for. without washington it'd look like detroit five weeks after everyone grew wings)
mircea_popescu: The20YearIRCloud: left to their own devices, California, Illinois, new york and maryland would implode << exactly. they're also the only three examples where a trickle of leeching happens even with the federal govt (ie, it's where corrupt politicians try to build a career state-level)
mircea_popescu: should the teasts move, within a year and a half tops the local states'd be in such a mess you wouldn't believe your eyes.
mircea_popescu: The20YearIRCloud: Most US states are run pretty well, but when you add the federal goverment into it, it becomes a huge mess << this isn't actually true. most of the rent seeking gunk is currently sucking out of washington because that's where the teats are, and so this gives the convincing but ultimately false impression individual states are better run.
mircea_popescu: lol look at that, X-Rob is practically at even within a week.
mircea_popescu: xmj: What would make for a better home base in 2015 or 2016: Luxembourg, Monaco or Jersey/Guernsey? << awful, all of them.
mircea_popescu: from a macro perspective the average state size is so heavily upper bound and so set to drastically decline...
mircea_popescu: youtubetard: more complexity is the nature of all things in the long term. So the rise of many many many micro states is very likely. People see Liechtenstein's success << this is actually a solid point, as unexpected and tenuous as it may seem.
mircea_popescu: abathingape and on what chan was that supposed to belong ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: Basically ever since 2004 when I bought a computer I've been waiting for an opportunity to use GPG and... Bitcoin afforded that. << a happy fate.
mircea_popescu: bats_cd03 not bad. pity they didn't have bitcoin addy on tits.
mircea_popescu: bats_cd03: i know mircea_popescu would approve, somehow << are the chicks mensturating and defecating on some sort of holy black flag ?
mircea_popescu: punkman: pete_dushenski: sounds like a death wish << i'd definitely mow him down. fucking biking hipsters.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves: i'm listening to Snow Crash currently, after getting burnt out on Taleb telling everything what it's problem is <<< ahahah good one.
mircea_popescu: also the extant memoirs of the various valide sultanas over the years.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: ottoman empire << 'the sultans' (n. barber) << yes.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell foofingers: Hi people. My is Daniel Marcus. I work together with asciilifeform. And I'm here to do some business with bitcoins. Thank you for having me! << welcome
mircea_popescu: jurov: apparently mircea moved the decimal dot << dots are hard.
mircea_popescu: in this particular case, fanfic stays fanific. there's no disney to buy, no lucasfilm to buy and nothing to buy it with.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i dunno dood, so some guy in new york likes to write bitcoin fanfic. so what of it ?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves: or me not learning my lesson << gotta love the ambiguity in a functioning market.
mircea_popescu: mike_c: and as an aside, it is embarrassing for this channel that tweets are scraped and repeated from links but not references to the log! << yeah srsly.
