mircea_popescu: nah.
mircea_popescu: they spend their day horseriding and shooting everything that moves.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ideally, esp in patagonia (or mongolia) we could have a specially trained pack of hunting women.
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2014/a-complete-theory-of-economics/#comment-99405 < i must say i fucking love that response.
mircea_popescu: Dimsler yea
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i know. i think it's a neat idea. if i ever make a tech park, that's how i'll run it.
mircea_popescu: GEORGE: (Still with a tone) He is. You don’t know what I’m doin’ here.
mircea_popescu: JERRY: (Scolding) George. (To salesman) Sorry, we’re just waiting for David Puddy.
mircea_popescu: GEORGE: (Threatening) Hold it! One more step and we’re walkin’!
mircea_popescu: SALESMAN: Can I help you with something?
mircea_popescu: (A salesman approaches)
mircea_popescu: GEORGE: Look at these salesmen. The only thing these guys fear is the walk-out. No matter what they say, you say, "I’ll walk out of here right now!"
mircea_popescu: lol.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla yea but what did you say to get that email ? "hello" ?
mircea_popescu: Dimsler some make their way here and then contribute significantly.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla what'd you say ?
mircea_popescu: who knows, maybe among them are some who can add value, and will.
mircea_popescu: well what's the problem wit hthat ?
mircea_popescu: why's this surprising to anyone (other than those derps) is beyond me.
mircea_popescu: or, for that matter, in the horizon of the conference derps.
mircea_popescu: Dimsler apparently nowhere in your horizon.
mircea_popescu: petty crime is perhaps (with the exception of an academic career) the worst fucking choice someone could make
mircea_popescu: criminals don't matter here for the same reason they don't matter irl. if they had any sense they'd find better use of their time.
mircea_popescu: and then... silkroad went away... nobody noticed.
mircea_popescu: oh, bitcoin is based on silkroad.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, the same sort of bullshit was being peddled about silkroad
mircea_popescu: anecdotes are worth about five satoshi each. get a million, maybe it matters.
mircea_popescu: that's such nonsense.
mircea_popescu: eh get out.
mircea_popescu: the same people who do yachting competitions.
mircea_popescu: the first people to use cars were the rich.
mircea_popescu: that's not true in any sense.
mircea_popescu: hm ?
mircea_popescu: forum "investors" keep investing, fiat consumers keep fiating... it's uncanny.
mircea_popescu: it's very strange, the same sort of partial thinking keeps people inside the grinder in, on both ends.
mircea_popescu: !up Anon29486307
mircea_popescu: Dimsler i have people following me on twitter that still derp about how it's a scam or w/e.
mircea_popescu: because they've also been scammed to the max.
mircea_popescu: it's like 2.5 a liter, which comes to about 10 a gallon
mircea_popescu: jurov sorry i meant gallon
mircea_popescu: but yet they drive. it's beyond me.
mircea_popescu: work 8 hours to the liter ? wtf.
mircea_popescu: yet there's people driving around. how the fuck, their min wage is 1.25 an hour
mircea_popescu: gas right ? it's like 10 dollars a liter.
mircea_popescu: me either.
mircea_popescu: it's crazy.
mircea_popescu: yeah.
mircea_popescu: !up Dimsler
mircea_popescu: Naphex hehe
mircea_popescu: i think his current owner may track you down and shoot you if you do that.
mircea_popescu: not like it's a bad thing.
mircea_popescu: you're a very ux minded fellow aren't you.
mircea_popescu: dns serves no useful purpose for mpex.
mircea_popescu: i couldn't need a dns less : you know where to send funds becasuse yu get a gpg signed deposit slip.
mircea_popescu: what's color codes to do with anything tho ?
mircea_popescu: and it also goes to jurov's q as to the diff between pki and nanowot.
mircea_popescu: but my point is narrower : that no wot can stand on its own. one of the manyt reasons pki is broken by design, not the most visible one but quite fundamental.
mircea_popescu: well yes, now they can, because you've leveraged the public forum to strengthen the wot.
mircea_popescu: so from dns.
mircea_popescu: i mean, pubkey ?
mircea_popescu: where does client acquire signature ?
mircea_popescu: so i'm dns, i replace all of them.
mircea_popescu: published where ?
mircea_popescu: it must be over 99%, but i'm curious if it's more like 99.99% or what.
mircea_popescu: and i wonder if sukrim ever sat down and calculated how much he has lost to date, since his derpy "hai i r glbse investoar" days.
mircea_popescu: i wonder what that means.
mircea_popescu: o look at that, pankkake we're cotrolls now.
mircea_popescu: Naphex im sure, validate requests before what ?
mircea_popescu: Naphex what happens if i replace both records ?
mircea_popescu: punkman a, i c. well, can't hurt.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony lmao the ineptitude.
mircea_popescu: punkman where did yo uwork ? doing what ?
mircea_popescu: but alas...
mircea_popescu: punkman if i had any idea how to make it so it doesn't suck i'd be looking for it people not domain experts.
mircea_popescu: anyway, a p2p cryptographically secure wot is a good project for someone competent an' ambitious. good way to get on my wot list at any rate.
mircea_popescu: jurov either that or the man is doing a phd.
mircea_popescu: jurov: i guess they shorting was "omitted" from mastercoin protocol << lol. because anyone can do anything they set their mind to. including design of stuff they never used irl.
mircea_popescu: which wouldn't be a bad idea in any sense.
mircea_popescu: jurov afaik he has been working (for the past two years) towards a distributed system
mircea_popescu: more importantly, that his ability to absorb scandal is nil. all it takes is one single merchant attacked by him providing fake ids to someone and that's the end.
mircea_popescu: jurov for me, that nanotube i trust. in general, that there exist no documented cases of a hijack.
mircea_popescu: cazalla no i was just looking for someone with a lot of aff marketing exp.
mircea_popescu: Curious_George http://www.gpg4win.org/ there, you can dld that thing play around with it see what it does.

mircea_popescu: !up VanCleef
mircea_popescu: jurov your address is in the wot.
mircea_popescu: gpg is a gnu implementation of pgp, which is the original public key cryptoi system
mircea_popescu: !up Curious_George
mircea_popescu: cazalla why ?
mircea_popescu: jurov we probably should blame lampelina ?
