mircea_popescu: math models are a lot easier to access, yes. not nearly as useful tho, not generally.
mircea_popescu: how deep to the water table is perhaps what you're discussing, whereas how much water in that spot at all is maybe what i',m saying.
mircea_popescu: suppose there's a land, and under this land water table, and above names of places.
mircea_popescu: well, we may be talking at cross purposes, let me try and model the difference.
mircea_popescu: rent way cheaper than tuition, results way better than degree,
mircea_popescu: i suppose the start-up approach to studying law in the us is getting a small apt close to the campus of a good law school and fucking all the older profs for free.
mircea_popescu: math is a prime tool of making one stupid, even in sane places (such as the soviet union)
mircea_popescu: there's nobody aliv ein the us qualified to teach philosophy to any degree.
mircea_popescu: granted this doesn't justify the tuition. but then again i've yet to meet the person that studied law and was worse for the wear for it.
mircea_popescu: my point is more that if you aspire to not be fucking stupid, pretty much the best avenue in the us colleges today is law.
mircea_popescu: but my point was not about the direct practical application
mircea_popescu: princessnell, as in too many duke grads unemployed to the point you get idjits a la tucker max writing "novels" and then moving on to "financial advicering" ?
mircea_popescu: fluffypony, you may underestimate the bezzle. what's whatsapp sell for i forget ? 50 trillion ?
mircea_popescu: princessnell: bitcoinpete i almost did the same and went into law. dodged a bullet there! << what's so bad about law ?
mircea_popescu: code has failed in production we'll shut the startup down, start a new one, buy the old one out, and then repeat. We call this Multi Startup Synergistic Prefailure, and it's inspired by the work of Tsukino Usagi. << you know it's pretty much how this crap works irl.
mircea_popescu: moiety, well, i have women to drive nuts, so it keeps me sane. it's like a gift.
mircea_popescu: just because they're after you doesn't mean everything's a meta.
mircea_popescu: pankkake, were you the one with the "with cia agents" zinger, you multiminded psychopath you ?
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell Phinnaeus it doesn't cunt if i wasn't there!!!
mircea_popescu: fluffypony, remind me to tell you about the ONE bdsm meet i ever attended
mircea_popescu: davout, basically, it's romania of the 90s/ny of the 70s.
mircea_popescu: i don't even know moiety. still working at having everything up and running, moving an entire cc across the continents is an involved task
mircea_popescu: no but you see, that's who they are and what they do. what do you want ?
mircea_popescu: it;s not really intended for the comsumption of the etsy crowd.
mircea_popescu: and similarly, start-ups aren't the guys that do what everyone else does, but exactly the guys that don't.
mircea_popescu: oviously in real reality start-ups are not the derps that go to "start-up dinners", but exactly the guys that don't
mircea_popescu: there's simply no way he ends up any other way than bleeding in a ditch somewhere, with a pilum in his penis.
mircea_popescu: this is exactly counter to what a startup is even for. this is ibm think.
mircea_popescu: second off, and much more worrisome, the bizarre notion that there's safety in banality, to wit, that one can't fuck up by doing what "everyone" is doing.
mircea_popescu: and so there IS such a thing as "start-ups" in the same sense there actually is a thing called new york.
mircea_popescu: this is usually the result of mediocre brains strained through the us college system. they end up with the expectation that any conceptual category has a practical counterpart.
mircea_popescu: anywyay, i was interrupted in the middle of spamming. let's continue.
mircea_popescu: first off and most importantly, the unexamined prior that there "is" this one thing called "start-ups"
mircea_popescu: well since i'm reading the logs, i'd like to take a minute and dissect the stupidity of "xmj: mike_c: not if he dislikes my stating how it is."
mircea_popescu: anyway, there's definitely some future in the blog credits thing.
mircea_popescu: hm.. all the #b-a blogs should charge the same credits, spend them to read the other blogs, get them when people read your blog. talk about a circle jerk. << zipf would put a rapid end to that methinks.
mircea_popescu: mike_c, i seriously see why it'd make sense for your site.
mircea_popescu: pankkake, you can actually merge mine atc with btc neh ?
mircea_popescu: <TomServo> "You buy Doge for the community not as an investment." << thus spoke socialisthustra.
mircea_popescu: you know, just like where opera would be if all the time spent derping around counterstrike were spent "singing"
mircea_popescu: <moiety> i wonder how things would be with bitcoin today if all this time and energy thats been spent on alts had been focussed on btc << not noticeably different.
mircea_popescu: <moiety> omg you have to make physical coins fluffy too << coins made out of shag.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony, you can't merge ltc with atc, one's scrypt
mircea_popescu: i shall ponder this matter while my salmon omlet cooks
mircea_popescu: so now, should i go through the logs ? or should i make further travel posts on trilema ?
mircea_popescu sings ♫♩ it's a muslim eat baby would out there baby ♬ make a lotta nice friends ♪♪ if you don't make a lotta nice friends come back, babe...
mircea_popescu: gotta love people that send you gpg mail and dutifully include a complete summary in the subject line
mircea_popescu: i'll put the ticket in tomorrow then, that enough for you ?
mircea_popescu: attention all people logged into trilema : im putting in a change ticket, which will be implemented whenever today and as a result will prolly log you out. just log back in will be fine.
mircea_popescu: actually i suppose an extra layer couldn't possibly hurt.
mircea_popescu: ok so you snag it from there, and what ? crack the hash ?
