mircea_popescu: there exist people in this world who are economically worthless because they are argentines. giving them an opportunity to starve so
as to work for me, a guy that isn't economically worthless for being argentine, is a -ev play for most and a +ev play for some.
mircea_popescu: yeah well, then on what basis to you propose to put forth subtlety-based arguments such
as that ?
mircea_popescu: argentina is about
as economically dead
as you'd expect of a soy & other cash crops exporter.
ascii_field: but afaik it has an ordinary cross-section of ameri-bezzle. i.e. you can just

as floats*/
mircea_popescu: "The economic tyranny of the late Roman Empire had left a devastated polity, a culture in Western Europe that had lost its knowledge of civilized commercial practice and accustomed to seeing government not
as a source of any productive assistance to commerce, but only a destroyer of commerce from which commerce must hide. "

☟︎ mircea_popescu: At the bottom line, throw/catch are about
as useful
as longjmp/setjmp (BTW, the former typically runs faster, but it's mere existence makes the rest of the code run slower, which is almost never acknowledged by C++ aficionados).
assbot: Logged on 14-12-2015 22:33:23; jurov: actually if you pay something with any recent wallet, reference client will reject the tx

ascii_field: 'The Coast Guard said the fire occurred
as the ship was loading a cargo of liquid ethylene.'
Bingoboingo: The good old tylenol/benadryl combo can be layered on top of everything else

Bingoboingo actually found the "swoleacceptance" thing
as an easy whey to farm reddit karma for the idiogeneering.
PeterL: use the resulting words
as first words in lines of a poem?
Bingoboingo: * asciilifeform did not actually know how far gone the mit thing were << Kinda why Qntra research requires not just wallowing with the eagles, but wallowing with pigs
as well
mircea_popescu: the notion that teenager kid that beat up some fatty in his class needs therapy, but this nutjob with sirens and perimeter fence does not strikes me
as outright self-parodic.
punkman: asciilifeform: [...] << makes EXACTLY the same amount of sense
as the 'oh noez gmo!111' thing. << dunno, I'd rather not eat DowDuPont for breakfast
assbot: Logged on 13-12-2015 17:04:29; mircea_popescu: this is why dudes hang out with bitches (hey, she might not be pliable to me, but she sure

as greece's two, but nevertheless.
mircea_popescu: and
as the de-turdification process continue, expect more and more of these "highly principled" shitheads crawling out of the woodwork. because this is what ethics means to the present crop of retarded kids, it's just a word, and it ain't got jack shit to do with what one does. just
as long
as the pharisee does his ablutions right all's good.
mircea_popescu: tuff you build upon has the consistency of smoke and the life expectancy of... well, I was going to say ephemerides, but I guess we could just
as well say Pieter Wuille.", because what mp says goes.

https://archive.is/7rXTw << typical 15yo doing the typical 15yo thing : put two-three stories together in a new combo, passes them off
as "real" to adults to see what they say.
mircea_popescu: "Together, we've shown what's possible when the world stands
as one," he said. << doom. the only thing possible when the bureaucrats unite is doom.
mircea_popescu: what did carter regard
as a central element of his legacy, i forget
punkman: "President Obama, who regards tackling climate change

BingoBoingo: lol "no one goes “postal” anymore (they go,

mircea_popescu: so wait. the wikipedia page on the "cultural impact" of some random network anchor dude consists of 'things named after him' such
as obscure sports teams and various pets ; and a large chapter on "wikipedia references" ?
adlai: he's now gone parroting this on to other jooz, even in the same discussion
as "so uh is it a good time to buy bitcoin maybe because it's regulated?"
adlai: "More investors are taking it seriously and using it
as a portfolio diversifier" go on, elaborate how billionaires hedge their penny stock exposure with hard currency
adlai: "A comparison to gold suggests Bitcoin could be undervalued" don't go driving any nonsmall amounts, we may have to take your bullshit seriously
as well!
BingoBoingo: Test all the children: "While the old ISAT test often saw
as many
as 95 percent of students meeting or exceeding standards, the highest-scoring school in St. Clair, Madison, Monroe or Clinton counties was Damiansville Elementary in Clinton County, with a proficiency score of 69.2 percent, and the lowest-performing school was Lovejoy Elementary in Brooklyn with a proficiency rate of zero."

as good
as anybody else's.
adlai: there's a lightning network pun in here but i'm too spent to kill the joke. nite, or morning,
as the custom may dictate
adlai: bwah 'The market, known
as the Policy Analysis Market, or PAM, never got off the ground. Democrat politicians in the Senate uncovered the plan in July 2003 and it was dropped amid public outcry. Ron Wyden, a Democratic senator from Oregon, expressed the prevailing attitude when he said that "The idea of a federal betting parlour on atrocities and terrorism is ridiculous and it's grotesque."'
adlai: beyond bitchering about relaying
as though your nodeship can seed the clouds
adlai notes to self that scripts[igs] are to be trusted
as far
as you can chuckem
BingoBoingo: * adlai fails to understand how "let's softfork blabla blabla blabla anything" can be viewed
as anything other than playing in the bathtub << The Jim Crow "soft phork" isn't anything near soft in the way previous ones have been. Would blocks still verify on actual bitcoind? Sure. Transactions? lol nope.
adlai:
as far
as i can tell, the only person who mentions hardforking segwit after this idea is your favorite costume artist

danielpbarron: whatever that means, it still remains that bitcoin
as it exists today is a giant ball of turd. The priority should be on deturdification before major rule changes, especially considering that no such changes are currently required to ensure its survival
danielpbarron: from the crypty lulz >> Maybe also using other alts to withdraw your money could work but
as I read many people discussed that some alts work, some other don't so I used the same way to get out
as I got in via Doge. << rather than get outa dodge it's get out via doge!
adlai can't find the specific example in the mega-collection of naggums, but he's looking for something other than toy examples... manuals are always welcome references,
as are anecdotes that would be worth including in their margins

mircea_popescu: but it must be pointed out that
as many
as 1/3 of all pregnancies are electively aborted by the woman anyway.
mircea_popescu: not really. it's a congenital defect.
as fundamentally broken
as it gets.
danielpbarron: I'm all for letting kids play outside and getting hurt, and even if that means the weak ones get killed. But to preemptively murder them, before they can even hurt themselves, and for the mother's convenience (when it is her due punishment to have pains in child bearing
as per the fall in the garden of eden), is reprehensible.
BingoBoingo: Dat upward mobility: "Odom was making $625,000
as Missouri's defensive coordinator. Just four years ago the former Mizzou linebacker was making $200,000

As a journalist, it's harder to use /r/bitcoin for story sources when the comment scores are hidden. I used to use the comments for additional information, but now I don't know which have been highly vetted, and which haven't. : Bitcoin ... (

as those he's consistently enjoyed since Feb 2013
mircea_popescu: the unfortunate thing with them is that 10 yr is not the same
as 10 hr.
mircea_popescu: anyway. my abandoning the entire "art photography" thing is pretty much in step with iris' demise
as a thing.
nubbins`: adlai traditionally in the art world, people like to refer to inkjet prints

mircea_popescu: i have no fucking idea how the niggers can stand themselves. it sure
as fuck galls me, and i don't even live there. here sits Lee Cowen, re-interpreting history for his fellow jews, according to what lenin said ?
mircea_popescu: if they were after eastern european votes they'd be going "support a stronger usg because you
as a group have the institutional memory to show what a great idea a soviet union is, and the scars to prove it!"
adlai: now here's an interesting bet, albeit longer than any human (
as opposed to econ) bookie to float: the size of pot which triggers the first assasination
adlai: trinque: you're missing a "the product of", which excludes that from being an answer to the question
as conceived in the author's mind :)
