mircea_popescu: the serious problem for coffee drinkers is the caffeine headache.
punkman:
mircea_popescu: dunno, I remember being too drunk to fuck at 17 or whatever
trinque:
mircea_popescu: I see your point about education 100% at this moment.
gabriel_laddel:
mircea_popescu: look, there are some things that I *know* make my body work better
gabriel_laddel:
mircea_popescu: I agree with you, but the *amount of work* I get done when caffinated, and the amount of fun I have doing it makes it simply impossible to do otherwise.
gabriel_laddel:
mircea_popescu: I simply don't understand what you're saying.
gabriel_laddel:
mircea_popescu: I try to make a point of drinking less, and it works. for a while. then I'm back to a pot or two a day.
gabriel_laddel:
mircea_popescu: I drink about 2 pots a day without it sometimes.

mircea_popescu: why the fuck does google even have an "alphabet" parent, since we're discussing these things ? doth qntra know?
thestringpuller:
mircea_popescu: well, it's all the media of the new republic. << This was my point. The 'intellectual property' or whatever you want to call it spawning from qntra is the value. For instance a movie or book, or some other form of media published under qntra. I see royalties in the future perhaps?
ascii_field: as in the story with 'what does
mircea_popescu's flat cost' ?
thestringpuller:
mircea_popescu: from this standpoint this Qntra is more like a media conglemorate than a simple new agency.
thestringpuller:
mircea_popescu: "successful" webcomics usually survive by selling their brand.

mircea_popescu: ascii_field not even about me. why would ~you~ argue it like that ? you don't argue like that for anything else, certainly not anything else you know well / understand in depth.
ascii_field:
mircea_popescu: i really was thinking 'qntra is a propaganda machine primarily for speaking to non-#b-a people.' ergo 'thinking folks other than myself dislike paywalls' is a relevant hypothesis
ascii_field:
mircea_popescu: now that you say this, i'm not even sure i correctly apprehend the purpose of qntra.
ascii_field:
mircea_popescu: i get that the phrase triggers your allergy.
ascii_field:
mircea_popescu: the point i was trying to make was not that some 'silent majority' (tm) of thinking people dislike paywall and 'therefore paywalls suck', but that, if my hypothesis is true, it may pose a practical problem - how many of the folks in #b-a would have taken an interest in it if merely reading the logs had cost money ?
ascii_field:
mircea_popescu: i did say 'thinking people'
ascii_field will have to remember to ask for this pill when next visiting
mircea_popescu ascii_field:
mircea_popescu: '...this never stopped the press from being WORTH money, which it always was' << how does this work ?
pete_dushenski:
mircea_popescu alphabet would seem to be a tax mitigation strategy from this angle, but maybe it's one of those libtard jokes gone wrong, like 'czar'
ascii_field:
mircea_popescu: or integrate whole thing into a pythonatronic www thing, a la phuctor
ascii_field:
mircea_popescu: all the useful, correct parts, were published, they are in the 'v' article on your www.
ascii_field:
mircea_popescu: there were a bunch of important things which did not work.
ascii_field:
mircea_popescu: not trivial. see thread. it has to not break when new patches appear!

mircea_popescu: <funkenstein_> re: xxxotica, the name sound like made for derps, and advertised to start at 8pm. iirc restaurants down there don't open until after that - for lunch << there isn't a bunchy of these things to pick one from. this was THE ONLY THING HAPPENING THAT DAY IN THE WHOLE 12 MILLION STRONG "CITY"

mircea_popescu: "Washington was a land developer, often described as the richest of his generation. By the end of the American Revolution, General Washington controlled about sixty thousand acres of land" << and there lies the debunk. it's true that george washington was well off. it's true he controlled some tens of k's of acres. it is UNTRUE that made him "richest in his generation".

HeySteve:
mircea_popescu, "no revenue model" is an easy change. the goal was to systematically dispell the smoke and mirrors around BANX and influence BTS to avoid it.

mircea_popescu: <HeySteve> as for the rest,
