mircea_popescu: "i want someone
to make me a si foundry and i'll strangle anyone who even
tries
to make a power source!"
mircea_popescu: part and parcel of our attempts
to you know, get out of hardware dependency of chinese\
mircea_popescu: this is even lulzier
than
the whole "can't move out of dc"
thing.
assbot: Logged on 18-03-2016 13:25:04; jurov: asciilifeform: if he is fine with serially connecting elements with wildly variable resistances
to 300V, no wonder he's fine with many other interesting
things :)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i
think his plan
to fight some derps doing black magic is not
to squarely ignore
them, but
to DO
THINGS
to anti-magic
their magic.
jurov: it's simple, he
transcended
the slavery by referring
to himself by his wot nick
assbot: Logged on 18-03-2016 14:46:05; mircea_popescu: (and yes in
that month i can do
the fucking rsa exponentiation on paper
three
times over.)
mircea_popescu: i suspect
through a massive dose of not giving a shit.
jurov: was a while
to get used
to it. i wonder how was BingoBoingo keeping
track of his nickname when it was different every
time
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform only in us courts
that got very lazy meanwhile.
BingoBoingo: Also
the consonants have
to be able
to survive a prnounced slur
jurov: some germans insist
to call me "georg" even without any substances involved.
the original is apparently
too hard
mircea_popescu: at least if
they had
the fucking decency
to be funny about it, lord derp and hurrserl and shit. but no, "chocolate".
BingoBoingo: But when you drink in
the manner I am inclined
to you gotta have something you can pronounce
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i don't use aliases even in promiscuity. everyone's "vampyre lord" and "celeste" and what
the fuck not, i'm mircea popescu
mircea_popescu: ha. don't you need a moustache
to legally wear
that name ?
BingoBoingo always
though NOT using aliases at
the bar was inviting unnecessary risk
PeterL: Me nephew has
to say his name several
times before any new acquaintances get it, my brother named him
Tlazohtlalia
mircea_popescu: "honey, if you can say
that outloud you're not drunk enough."
BingoBoingo: But Back when I did
the bar
thing I'd use different names at each bar generally
mircea_popescu: PeterL i knew a guy who would introduce himself
to half drunk british roses as "hi, my name's pizda ma-tii!"
BingoBoingo: <PeterL> when you meet a girl at
the bar, do you introduce yourself "Hi, I'm BingoBoingo"? << It's an occasion
to use
the legacy identfier
PeterL: when you meet a girl at
the bar, do you introduce yourself "Hi, I'm BingoBoingo"?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you know he has a point
tho, just because someone stole or didn't stole it, what's
that
to you ?
BingoBoingo: That my parents gave me and
the fiat gang stole
the
title
to
danielpbarron: well i'd rather not list your blog at all if
the requirement is
to not use your name
danielpbarron: you know your name is on
the listing agreement for qntra right?
mircea_popescu: (and yes in
that month i can do
the fucking rsa exponentiation on paper
three
times over.)
☟︎ BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Also pls
to not link my blog as my slave name.
mircea_popescu: (for
the curious,
the way private sealed writs work in fiat court is,
the presumed author is confronted with
them. if he accepts
them all is fine, if however he repudiates
them
the circus starts, because
the case forks into a sub-case about whether
the item is genuine or not, gotta have witnesses as
to
the writ, experts as
to
the writ, you can be
there a month with
the piece of paper.)
mircea_popescu: i had
the pleasure of a coupla of such nonsense back in
the day.
danielpbarron: Matthew 7:13 "Enter by
the narrow gate; for wide is
the gate and broad is
the way
that leads
to destruction, and
there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is
the gate and difficult is
the way which leads
to life, and
there are few who find it.
assbot: Logged on 18-03-2016 12:20:36; asciilifeform: also i would like
to watch mp or anyone actually ~do~
the 'hand verify'
thing.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> danielpbarron and what if
they can't fit down
the chute ? << Plop
them on
top of a chute and wait for
the fold mold
to liquefy
them
mircea_popescu: i always
thought "the path
to destruction is broad" just gave measure of
the argot prescience of
the king james bible and it really means "the path
to destruction is woman".
PeterL: mircea_popescu
then slice
them into smaller pieces?
danielpbarron: shows lack of self-control which
The Bible requires of
the saved
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: If remixing
things might as well escalate its cardinality
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron and what if
they can't fit down
the chute ?
PeterL: BingoBoingo I
think you nailed it, no more argument needed
to vilify obeasts
mircea_popescu: i must say i'm pretty impressed with
this darkcoin
thing and with
the chinese govt generally. a) no idiotic derpage a la "bitlicense" ; b) actually prosecute scammers.
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Or do I need a different species of scholarship for
that
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Speaking of
this
topic, can you spin up a justification of Obesity being a Cardinal sin as if Man is created in God's image defiling oneself with obesity is akin
to defiling God?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well If I really am a sunni I gotta
take from
the Jews and
the Christians, because
that's how history works
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Until I finish a religious
tract Imma just
treat satisfying
the will of
the gods as alternately a question of conduct and business

TimSwanson:
That's not how debates work
BingoBoingo: solrodar: I'm not necessarily suggesting
that
solrodar: BingoBoingo: indeed it is complex, and so if bettors have
to
take a haircut because mircea_popescu is senior,
then
that's fine, as long as
there's a justification for it
mircea_popescu: how
to act correctly (ethics) ; how
to satisfy
the will of gods (morals) ; how
to run your business (equity).
mircea_popescu: lol davout while i'm
the first friend of humor, or so i like
to
think,
that
two weeks
tm can't stand
there. it can readily be interpreted
to mean forever, and
that just can't be.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: solrodar: I'm suggesting it as a rabbit hole
to read moar on
to understand how complex
the matter of claims is, not strictly legally but morally
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo is
this getting people
to read up on
the complex
topic of patrimonial dispositions or prior art ?
solrodar: BingoBoingo: who are you suggesting has one in
this case?
mircea_popescu: why not have discretion
to also determine
the count of bitcoin in existence, while at it.
BingoBoingo: solrodar: Are you familiar with
the "mechanics lien"
solrodar: well, if
the receiver has discretion
to reject claims
then he also should have discretion
to determine
the seniority of claims
mircea_popescu: and yes, I don't intend
to follow fiat practice in
THIS particular respect :
that it's always willing
to add complexity for
the sake of satisfying fee-fees.
mircea_popescu: they're not required by
the model, and
there's no indication
they add justifiable complexity ; not
to mention
they're not even defined, or by all appearances definable.
mircea_popescu: solrodar i am not entertaining your concepts of "non-urgent", and so i won't be showing anything about
them.
mircea_popescu: but ftr it's slowly dawning on me just how god damned ~HARD~ it is
to speak in
the forum. all sorts of separations, between descriptive and prescriptive, between
time ; between causes and effects, between roles and hierarchies... jesus god how does anyone even keep it straight.
solrodar: or why all suppliers are necessarily in
the same class
solrodar: because you still haven't shown why a non-urgent supplier should
take priority over a customer
mircea_popescu: "if you didn't need
to pay him as a supplier, fuck him". how's
the receiver
to justify
this "downgrade" ?
solrodar: considered yes, and possibly
then downgraded
to be at
the same level as bettors?
