BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> what, 3% boost. << If the margins for running them are <3 then win if work
mircea_popescu: (you could, in principle, build craft result actuarial tables just like you build resource mining maps or w/e ; then you can sell insurance in the complex sort of fx deals crafters need to provision their materials.)
mircea_popescu: the whole thing is claptrap.
asciilifeform: the 'better asics' thing is claptrap
BingoBoingo: But basically thing that keeps current asics but prevents better asics is on power ranger hard fork wish lizt because of treaty.
BingoBoingo: Because of that doesn't count
BingoBoingo: Well, yes because you hallucinated it several months after they signed the papers
mircea_popescu: wait, i thought "modern science" established that mp hallucinated miner cartel.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform explain "this". that it's the sad beach where every drop-out, burn-out, shithead who fails to understand that "running out of money" means you fail, that dropping out means you fail ends up shipwrecked on ? a sort of africa of the spirit, where you find they born of slave mothers and too weak, useless and unimportant to leave ; and they borne by free women who were too weak, useless and outright dumb to hold the

asciilifeform: ^ this is why i have not ever touched wwwtronics and will not
asciilifeform: 'Here’s a bit of background on me: My education is in business. I have a BS in MIS and almost finished my MS but ran out of money. I’ve got more business education than most of the MBAs out there, and I have a nearly formal education in software development, modeling, statistical analysis, and sociology. I’ve done it all, but what does the slick talking shit head car sales MBA loser think I am
mircea_popescu: hopefully a guy by the name Bursuc (badger, ro) gets the job,
mircea_popescu: and of course the mayor's gonna be the başi-buzuk of buluk-ayres.
mircea_popescu: discussed as a joke at first with horrified girls, maybe eventually edged towards but not as a rule. what's the rush and what's the drive anyway.
mircea_popescu: these things... they have lengthy gestation periods.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu uses the real thing strictly!1111

mircea_popescu: last night while i was probing a butt with my own probiscus outdoors, a butterfly landed on it, and probed it with his own. prolly because sweat's so yummy to butterflies.
mircea_popescu: who could have predicted this development.
asciilifeform: except that he does it in derp concert and therefore uninterestingly
asciilifeform: summary: todd steals mircea_popescu's idea of 'let's change pow to kill miners'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: safe to skip, it's rubbish
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if you're gonna read random garbage, plox provide summaries. i'm not going to follow "bitcoin-dev" bullshit.
mircea_popescu: being part of a sovereign that doesn't recognize others ; and has the tank divisions, means that you don't need "passports".
asciilifeform: but realize, what's next, 'you didn't need passport to go to ru' 'when?' 'oh i went with wehrmacht in '41'
mircea_popescu: much like how women don't collectivize because stupid ; they collectivize because if you ain't got upper body strength, the shewail is all that's left.
mircea_popescu: bug doesn't swarm because stupid ; bug swarms because at its size and so on, that's the only schelling point.
asciilifeform is lone bug and thinks as such
mircea_popescu: thread wasn't about bug acting on its own, thread was about "designated junkyards for this".
mircea_popescu: with the flow of immigrants they've been dumping tons around the southern shores yes.
mircea_popescu: who could have predicted this answer.
asciilifeform: eh that wasn't real africa
mircea_popescu: what's next, the gators are gun getcha in the wash dc swamp ?

mircea_popescu: siberia, for that matter, australia, the us before that...
asciilifeform: there were, at one point, designated junkyards for this
mircea_popescu: the whole "nationality" thing means "where do we dump this fuck to be rid of him".
mircea_popescu: similarly courts won't count emancipation unless you're actually prepared to be a state.
asciilifeform for instance could 'renounce' 10 times every morning before breakfast and nobody would give a shit
asciilifeform: idea being that 'stateless' folk are 'victims' with 'rights' and you can't simply get that status artificially on own free will
asciilifeform: one imho interesting quirk of international convention is that most countries will not 'count' your renunciation if you don't have a spare citizenship somewhere else
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: or is that no longer a thing (as i and many others predicted)
BingoBoingo: Ban wasn't as perma as previously thought

mircea_popescu: at least tell enough to know where to look further.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'm pretty sure one can tell.
ben_vulpes: 'rather fuckable' pulled my right eyebrow clear up to my hairline
asciilifeform always regarded the notion as crackpottery, that one could tell
asciilifeform: what that means.
asciilifeform: from whence comes the suspicion that it was a chick?
mircea_popescu: obsi, ran this independent ponzi on glbse
asciilifeform: what if they misread!
mircea_popescu: and he trusts but verifies his contacts through a well oiled process of...
mircea_popescu: da fuck, every dude with a twitter and a github has "contacts" nao ? what is this, casablanca for the masses ?
mircea_popescu: i'm of course none to pleased that intel virgins use intel terms of art as if that somehow makes them experienced, much in the way obnoxious 17yo prisses talk about things.
mircea_popescu: im kinda curious what he thinks his "contacts" are.
asciilifeform: in the smart folx who don't show up.
asciilifeform: or taleb, or, ... etc.

mircea_popescu: somehow they think they may propose judgements of value. it boggles the mind.
mircea_popescu: nobody fucking asks the cows what they thing about ethics, ie, "what's best" or such.
mircea_popescu: somehow wot:nonperson has a hard time getting out of this mindset where he may actually contribute politically.

mircea_popescu: and as to the "o no, it was us in 2004"... link or it didn't happen.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the society of intelligent folk is entirely optional for other intelligent folk. he doesn't HAVE to. he may, if he wants to, s'all.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha, that west
mircea_popescu: tis on trilema. so there!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "You think I'm going to help you befoul his legacy by giving this country to them who's had no hand in fighting for it ? Why? Because they come off the boat crawling with lice and begging you for soup?" http://trilema.com/2016/gangs-of-new-york/
mircea_popescu: hey mod6 if you have time today to hold my hand with your T, ima move the whole "hey x plox y" thing over.
asciilifeform: davout: that is not the picture i get from your link
asciilifeform: typical. e.g., taleb. and we, to him, are indistinguishable from cosmic background noise, because 'where were you lot when we conquered the west in covered wagons, aha?'
davout: imho his bubble isn't too far from sanity
davout: i enjoyed his "learn C the hard way" and tried to pay him some btc for it a good while ago, didn't really catch as far as i remember
a111: Logged on 2016-05-11 16:34 mircea_popescu: danielpbarron if you don't mind drop a note @lzsthw with a link here, tell him he can have 0.1 btc if he shows up.
