mircea_popescu: and you'd better get
to 36, because if you don't you have a serious problem
to contemplate.
HeySteve: 36 ref flags showing
that it's a scam (not sure if
those are in
the version you saw)
mircea_popescu: the part
that isn't fine is what you made with
the results. list, for public benefit,
the
things you found in
these 5 days.
HeySteve: now
that
time is wasted because arbitrary stylistic reasons which I was never informed of
HeySteve: mircea_popescu,
the problem is I spent 5 fucking days researching BANX and interviewing Lyford so
that fewer suckers would be scammed
shinohai: I do wonder why
there is a picture of Dr. Stu Price on your blog now
though.
mircea_popescu: jurov no one is even buying
the bitbet spot.. says something about bitcoin economy << or about advertising.
☟︎ shinohai: "purveyor of surveillance appliances for
the multitudes" <<< great Microsoft descriptor pete_dushenski
mircea_popescu: not many words, bad words. not overly kind
to x. bad form. bad structure.
HeySteve: so perhaps
too many words and perhaps overly kind
to BTS, although I do believe
their
technology is good.
HeySteve: mircea_popescu, "no revenue model" is an easy change.
the goal was
to systematically dispell
the smoke and mirrors around BANX and influence BTS
to avoid it.
funkenstein_: perhaps forced
to stay home and write more articles for us? :D
mircea_popescu: i wonder if you realise how far away
that is, in hundreds of marine miles.
mircea_popescu: <funkenstein_> re: xxxotica,
the name sound like made for derps, and advertised
to start at 8pm. iirc restaurants down
there don't open until after
that - for lunch <<
there isn't a bunchy of
these
things
to pick one from.
this was
THE ONLY
THING HAPPENING
THAT DAY IN
THE WHOLE 12 MILLION STRONG "CITY"
☟︎ PeterL: no, just another loop in
the necktie
to make it more symmetrical
mircea_popescu: <shinohai> "If
this is a scam, I want
to be scammed more." <<< careful what you wish! << no, it's exact. and he'll get it
too.
assbot: IBM’s Watson is such an effective spoofbot
that he makes me want
to say “DPASTE, IRC AND FUCK YOU” | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... (
http://bit.ly/1kzRJBx )
PeterL: pete_dushenski: Your blog pic is nice, but you should switch
to a double-winger
tie,
the single winger looks weak
mircea_popescu: take a very simple metric : you say "
that BANX has no credible revenue model was half
the point" but at no point, and especially not at
the right point, was
the plain statement "BANX has no revenue model"
to be found.
mircea_popescu: the problem of your
thing was its form, not its content. i couldn't even get
to
the content.
mircea_popescu: <HeySteve> as for
the rest, mircea_popescu, you may dismiss everything
that isn't Bitcoin 0.5 as a scam but I do not
take
this view without evidence << but note
that none of
that is in any sense what i said.
assbot: Successfully added a rating of 1 for Zuardi with note: hey, he
thinks he did
that!
Zuardi: mircea_popescu I
think i did
that, let me double check
Zuardi: oh, I see, I need
to do
the same
thing on assbot as well
mircea_popescu: PeterL i space question marks but
that's really my mental problem, nobody else.
☟︎ PeterL: Or is
that only with question marks?
mircea_popescu: <PeterL> Now
that QNTRA is a year old, is
there any plan
to explore revenue generation? << notrly.
the plan is
to explore a way
to get more people
to write better.
Zuardi: thanks, I am starting
to gather wot rates, maybe I'll be able
to voice myself soon :P
PeterL: but don't you do "the end .
the beginning" on
trilemma?
mircea_popescu: and it's only
there because
tlp does
the double space
thing
to my great annoyance.
mircea_popescu: all
trilema says was, do it like
this "the end.
the begining" rather
than "the end.
the begining"
mircea_popescu: <danielpbarron> and I don't get
the space between
the last word of a sentence and
the punctuation <<
the wut ?!
☟︎ mircea_popescu: so dumbass eulora db server found a whole new way
to fuckup. jesus fuck i love contemporaneity.
funkenstein_: hey
thanks. my goal has been
to learn something.
the
testnet chumpatron market looks oversaturated.
funkenstein_: :) I will continue work
to deserve such an endorsement
shinohai: I have yet
to see said project
though, is it public?
shinohai: Happy birfday
to your
testnet project
then funkenstein_
funkenstein_: re: xxxotica,
the name sound like made for derps, and advertised
to start at 8pm. iirc restaurants down
there don't open until after
that - for lunch
funkenstein_: look at
that, same day
that my
testnet project was born
assbot: Logged on 22-10-2015 15:30:34; mod6:
The Bitcoin Foundation is one year old
today. Happy Birthday!
funkenstein_: HeySteve, I
think
the claim is not
that newer codes are scam, but
that
they add little of value compared
to
their weight in cruft
shinohai: "If
this is a scam, I want
to be scammed more." <<< careful what you wish!
HeySteve: as for
the rest, mircea_popescu, you may dismiss everything
that isn't Bitcoin 0.5 as a scam but I do not
take
this view without evidence
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 22-10-2015 22:01:20; mircea_popescu: "BANX represents a
thus far dividend-paying investment in BanxCapital," << dividends out of what ?
assbot: Logged on 22-10-2015 22:00:43; mircea_popescu: "And yes, it'll be a damn shame if
this backfires on BitShares.
Their
technology is extremely scalable, blazingly fast and impressively flexible on
the backend."
PeterL: or it says something about
the uselessness of banner ads?
assbot: Logged on 22-10-2015 21:58:37; mircea_popescu: i can't from
that piece discern what is supposed
to be
the revenue model of
the banx
thing.
jurov: no one is even buying
the bitbet spot.. says something about bitcoin economy
jurov: imo
they wait
till advertisers come offering
themselves
PeterL: Now
that QNTRA is a year old, is
there any plan
to explore revenue generation?
jurov: yup,
totally forgot
PeterL: I guess you want
to use <marquee>
too?
PeterL: what more would you need
than <p>?
jurov: and on more serious note, I miss anything about paragraph formatting, guess <p> should be allowed or even endorsed,
too.
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 04:45:23; BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: No one yet, but I suspect someone is going
to scan a document and
think "this format is old enough:
PeterL: BingoBoingo: format criteria 3: Web or
Trust s/or/of
PeterL: BingoBoingo: I like
the style guide you made. I am kinda surprised people were submitting MS
turds.

to
the palm oil in our snack food? | Lindsey Allen | Comment is free |
The Guardian ... (

danielpbarron: and what about footnotes at
the end of sentences? I
think it looks better after
the punctuation, even if
that isn't "logical"
danielpbarron: my personal rule with quotes and punctuation is
that if it looks strange,
there is probably a better way
to form
the sentence.
danielpbarron: although since seeing
that practice in here, I've adopted it for use around
the colon sometimes. Can't bring myself
to do it with
the period
danielpbarron: and I don't get
the space between
the last word of a sentence and
the punctuation
assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 05:29:59; pete_dushenski: if
that's
the rule, i'll abide, but if it's up for discussion, i'm in favour of
the 'wrong.'
adlai thanks mircea for STAT, says
three Hail Satoshis, and goes on with life
mircea_popescu: for his entire lifetime, and very plainly predictably at
that,
the land in question would have been worth more under british rule.
mircea_popescu: ", but Washington knew
that he would profit mightily if independence was achieved."
mircea_popescu: certainly many
things fellows'd have never dreamed. like, anyone seriously discussing "animal rights", or industrial robots,
take your pick
trinque: though I don't know what
they
thought would have prevented it
trinque: in discussing
this with a friend recently, I supposed
that
the founding fathers might never have dreamed
that
the lowest would end up included in
the category of "people"
pete_dushenski: and now berlusconi's
the devil incarante for having a few billions
to his name. and sleeping with young girls !
trinque: I'm sure if I pulled one aside at Walmart and
told him
that
Thomas Jefferson rewrote
the bible, he'd spontaneously combust.
