mircea_popescu: artifexd fluffing is when a youngish girl that aspires to one day make money from porn tries her inept damdest to get up the overworked penis of some druggie pronstar guy
mircea_popescu: lol o i c, fluffy pony is less gay. right. what'd you drink, paint thinner ?
mircea_popescu: is this story a subtle suggestion you've got a nigger hose ?
mircea_popescu: btw, what's the worst time to have a productive streak ?
mircea_popescu: i know at least a dozen people who read trilema while travelling. catch up with a month's worth on an intercontinental flight
mircea_popescu: this i personally regard as a structural and significant improvement over berkshire.
mircea_popescu: anyway : because i actually included pc5 explicitly, the share actually has a clear mechanism to track nav pretty closely.
mircea_popescu: " It may pay a dividend during any period I determine this expedient, but there is no promise of monthly dividend (nor does such a thing make any sense whatsoever, for most companies)."
mircea_popescu: dividends will happen if there's no rational use of capital comensurate with historical gains, so if the thing makes ~10% pa for a while, and there's no way to beat that, i'd start distributing capital
mircea_popescu: so in general, the share should appreciate through tracking its nav.
mircea_popescu: artifexd well substantially, my thinking is that one does not simply kill berkshire, one also makes a replacement. if one's polite, at least.
mircea_popescu: this concept where they return the investment is obviously too much for teh forum.
mircea_popescu: <midnightmagic> (aside from weak keygen) << and aside from planted holes.
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> they got their mistakes out of the way with SF1. You need to jump on SF2, it's going to the moon. << i forget, what was the eventual return on that thing ?
mircea_popescu: <Naphex> we are planning on reaching regular folks as well << tbh, as long as you ernestly offer the strong version, nobody can hold it against you that you also offer a convenient version.
mircea_popescu: <benkay> hey, guys: which is less likely to leak? openssl or gpg? << gpg may still have a bug or two in there.
mircea_popescu: they used same principle, except (afaik) even shittier implementation
mircea_popescu: <benkay> all of a sudden i'm struck by the notion that the only good withdrawal message is one gpg-signed by the withdrawing party. << welcome to... 2012 ?
mircea_popescu: ie, not all keys work, key has to satisfy magic yubikey criteria on top of entropy
mircea_popescu: artifexd> That may, or may not, invalidate the ability to use yubikey's servers though. I don't know. << afaik blowing their key does make it unable to use the servers, because you see, the true beauty of stupidty : they actually narrow the keyspace (significantly) to make their product vendor-lockedin
mircea_popescu: unlike the bitbet style, which while being exactly the same thing, is socially unacceptable.
mircea_popescu: <Naphex> asciilifeform: i'm talking from a server end point, i don't have to keep user secret. just public key <<< see, there. that's the value proposition : it allows the operator to say "sorry, fuck you" to the user in terms that are socially acceptable,
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> you gotta transport the secret to the user << did i wake up today in a parallel universe where public-key crypto was never invented ? << no, you woke up in a parallel universe where microsoft is still a business model.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform its probable yubikeys have a master, yes.
mircea_popescu: wao hey, can you send me a shipment of those copper rounds ?
mircea_popescu: kinda why the male gyns are better, too. they don't have one so it's scary on some level.
mircea_popescu: i know women who won't use a male gyn, to their detriment, as male gyns are usually better. but hey, her lyf, her call.
mircea_popescu: ends up generally misrepresented as "well the problem is he propositioned her". nonsense. the problem is he apparently has the discernment of a five year old.
mircea_popescu: a doctor shouldn't have to follow some ultimately absurd behaviour guidelines, because he's an adult, and a patient should not have to depend that the doctor does follow such, or that they're adequate, because he has no options.
mircea_popescu: you should be able to trust your doctor not to be unpleasant, of which you are the only judge. and if you don't like him go to another. which is why the free market is important.
mircea_popescu: curious if he'll go the "o mp is not an institutional investor, because breaking the back of everyone else does not qualify one" or "he said fucktard so i no longer have to listen nao lalalala"
mircea_popescu: tell him my concerns are that he's a fucktard, and ask him to please address them.
mircea_popescu: but you're always in a position of trust. this "position of trust" analysis is bollocks. at the very least you trust the random passerby not to mug you.
mircea_popescu: if a society isn't willing to put up with "inappropriate" propositioning, that society will have to put up with specially designated "proposition pens" where everyone's fcking awkward and the whole thing's unpleasant.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, i've hit on doctors/nurses/people in the street/whoever the fuck. what's the big deal.
mircea_popescu: it's just that he sucks, ie, the substance of that proposition.
mircea_popescu: moiety there's this confusion being peddled, in classic libertard manner, that it's the form rather than the substance. however, in my experience it's absolutely never THE FACT that he propositioned her that is the issue.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony yeah but she was paying so she doesn't have to.
mircea_popescu: it's a common mistake of the pompously clueless, and good sister of the entire "trolls are bad for society" mtyh
mircea_popescu: fluffypony early internet people held the idiotic belief that "meeting irl" is some sortt of gold standard.
mircea_popescu: moiety wait. stripper complained about customer asking for her by name ?!
mircea_popescu: anyway, the gpg wot is imo a broken beyond belief implementaiton
mircea_popescu: "A doctor charged with sexually assaulting a patient at Dapto Medical Centre has told a court he took the unusual step of stimulating the woman on his clinic couch after she clamped down on his finger with her private parts, aggravating an injury to his shoulder."
mircea_popescu: HeySteve lol that korea customs form rules. "please say if you have any magicks kthx"
mircea_popescu: so anyways i ask the guy what he doing in/with bitcoin and he says he "just left a start-up and wants to be a core dev" << so send him here.
