williamdunne: mircea_popescu: I'm not handing out sympathy here. But yes, I agree. Ah well,
they're providing a lesson
that is cheap for
the rest of
the world re; ownership
mircea_popescu: i hope half
the country starves and
the rest gets sold into prostitution in rural india.
mircea_popescu: why, because
they're
too good for
their shit
to stink ?
mircea_popescu: williamdunne fuck
the greeks.
they should have bought btc for every penny
they had.
they did not
assbot: Logged on 05-07-2015 20:44:56; asciilifeform: it'll come in handy when i write
the ph0rkvisualizer
mircea_popescu: (real
terms, nobody cares you paid your neighbour
ten cents
to claim you paid him
ten
trillion billions so you're rich now)
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes
two
things about chinese material research : a) american folk go "chinese have it so much better because
their financing is secure" and b)
they're spending about 10x more
than
the us
ben_vulpes: and with
the work
they're *doubtless* doing on autonomous flugenatoms
that's going
to be some impressive air support
BingoBoingo: Oh, no. Completely feral. No one knows who
the last
title holder was on chunks of
the place. I'm not
talking unfarmed because it is out of
the rotation. I'm
talking retired from
the being farmed business.
mircea_popescu: williamdunne sure. and
the us was built on european gold, look into
the various panics culminating wit van buren
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Commercially I
think
there will be fairly rapidly increasing Chinese investment in parts of Africa. Although
that is a different matter.
ben_vulpes: trinque: ah, i only meant
to suggest
that
they might park an armada offshore
to provide fire support.
trinque: ben_vulpes: far more plausible
than china's going
to land on
the coast like normandy
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu>
that's really
the
tension here : usians currently use
the us like inept argentines:
they huddle around
the coast and pull
their cocks. << Seriously big chunks or Arable land in Kansas went from farmed
to feral in
the past
two decades.
mircea_popescu: (you may
think "oh, wouldn't it be more logical
to do africa first ?" and no, it wouldn't. africa's inhabited by monkeys currently, so it doesn't matter. same pattern played out in 1705 - napoleon went after europe not after
the us. because in 1705
the us was africa)
trinque: something like
the US is doing now in western ukraine
trinque: ben_vulpes: now
there's a
theory
that works a bit better imo
ben_vulpes: i can see
them either filling a power vacuum or backing an secession.
mircea_popescu: and so... is no doubt in my mind
the chinese are getting
the us.
mircea_popescu: in general disputes over land utilization resolve in favour of
the more intensive.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the chinese would farm
the shit out of
that
thing,
to
the bare bedrock.
trinque: russia is not gone
though
the soviet union dissolved
mircea_popescu: that's really
the
tension here : usians currently use
the us like inept argentines:
they huddle around
the coast and pull
their cocks.
☟︎ trinque: ^
this seems wishful
to me
BingoBoingo: I mostly curious if
the Chicoms farm Iowa or mine
the uranium under Iowa
trinque: I've been, not hungry enough yet
though
mircea_popescu: what, you
think maryland's not chaos everywhere "that doesn't matter" ?
jurov: and i guess chicoms will be happy
to leave all
the desert
to mexico
mircea_popescu: just like
the us works now, so it won't even be strange.
trinque: chaos everywhere
that doesn't matter
BingoBoingo: I could see a mixture of A and B with
the Chicoms
tolerating B in
the areas uneconomical
to occupy.
mircea_popescu: <trinque> I can see no way in hell
the south would deal with a chinese occupation <<
they seem
to be dealing with a northern occupation just fine.
ben_vulpes: and china's
the only one of
those
two groups
today with ships and ship-launched rockets with significant distance capabilities.
ben_vulpes: texas needs either zetas or chinks
to hold its border
to
the north.
ben_vulpes: trinque:
the rednecks will be
the reason china gets involved.
trinque: he's just black and smiles
too much
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: anyways, not like i'm defending
the
toughness of
the americans, i'm just saying
that b exists, not same as it being probable
trinque: mircea_popescu: but
they hate obama mostly because
they're having
the reaction
to "strange" you've noted
mircea_popescu: because inept governance has managed
to alienate all
the people who matter
to cater
to
the people who vote.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski right. except atm
those people whio would suicide bomb hate obama more
than
the chinese
trinque: I just expect shitty
times in between now and
then, whenever
then is
mircea_popescu: trinque dude,
the gritted dissent of
the peasantry was never a notable historical fact
trinque: whether
they'll amount
to anything, sure
trinque: ben_vulpes: you people never leave
the cities, do you?
mircea_popescu: war means, i fear i have
to remind, spending
the next 5 years without a woman eating your belt and shitting in a hole you dug yourself.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: there are not 100k people able
to fight a war in
the us currently.
mircea_popescu: guess what ?
there's some guerilla in
the ukraine
too.
mircea_popescu: they're currently welcoming
the rights of
transsexuals and
the obsese. what b?
trinque: I can see no way in hell
the south would deal with a chinese occupation
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu:
two outcomes from u.s. citizen perspective : a) "all hail
the chinese, our lords and saviours" leading into much cock sucking, or b) "git off our
turf yellow niggers !" leading into much guerilla warfare a la afghanistan
assbot: Logged on 05-07-2015 21:17:26; pete_dushenski: kakobrekla : sounds kinda similar
to bitbet propositions. i'd be interested
to learn more about how
this works,
mircea_popescu: but anyway, i dun
think
the need for
this will go away, so.
take your
time.
kakobrekla: right now
there are more urgent
things on
the plate, once api is working as id like we can do something like dat. until
then you can run
the platform with wine.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: kakobrekla oh and e) have it deedbot a statement gpg'd
to
the owner's key each month, listing
their assets.
mircea_popescu: and
to protect
the citizens of baltimore from
the criminal "federal government" with its long list of human rights abuses.
mircea_popescu: and next
thing you know it chinese soldiers are on
the ground looking
to arrest obama
to
take him before miloshevich's
tribunal
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski ah
that. yes, like
this always happens : chinese navy gets ordered
to camp out between galveston and florida keys, us navy gets warned
to stay
the fuck out of
their way. what are
they going
to do, fight ?
the us is not fight worthy.
mircea_popescu: and how about you do all
this
this week. i know i would
trade on
this system
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla how about you do
this specifically : a) make assbot make an hourly report with prices and volumes for each
traded commodity ; b) make assbot spot a line
trade for each
time
trade in a commodity goes > 100 btc ; c) make assbot keep a wallet for every person in l2 ; d) allow me
to order buys and sells on bit4x via assbot, just gives me a hash
to unpack like rating works now.
☟︎ trinque: got
the fucker in a state where it'll be less of a pain in
the arse
to work on in
the future
trinque: moved
the hosting from s3
to my own nginx
kakobrekla: yeah i can add some sort of
ticker-on-demand at some point.
trinque: mircea_popescu: btw deedbot.org is on a box
that'll happily serve up
the goods if referenced by another cname
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: what would
that look like in your mind ?
pete_dushenski: williamdunne: well, it IS stupid. also phree money for
traders.
mircea_popescu: curious if
this sends
the chinese on a "democratizing" kick
to
texas.
williamdunne: The fact
that
they're having
to do it, demonstrates
the weakness of
the markets and should surely inspire less confidence! Seems stoopid
pete_dushenski: the graph of
the shanghai index is pointier
than madonna's
tits.
mircea_popescu: so much wastage hidden under
the rug by
the "communist party"
that... well...
mircea_popescu: ten-twenty years of building
tin
towns for
tin women are catching up with
them
pete_dushenski: "The government is anxiously awaiting
the market opening on Monday
to see if
the new measures will halt a 30 percent plunge in
the last
three weeks,"
pete_dushenski: "Some analysts suggest
total margin lending, both formal and informal, could add up
to around 4
trillion yuan."
pete_dushenski: "on Saturday, China's
top brokerages pledged
to collectively buy at least 120 billion yuan ($19.3 billion) of shares
to help steady
the market, and would not sell holdings as long as
the Shanghai Composite Index remained below 4,500."
mircea_popescu: we kick
the "btc balance bot"
thing in gear, next
thing you know i can sit here and go
pete_dushenski: start pricing assets in something other
than, as you said, zimbabwean pula
williamdunne: pete_dushenski: I'd assume like a standard CFD brokerage but
they hedge
the bitcoins
to USD also
pete_dushenski: kakobrekla : sounds kinda similar
to bitbet propositions. i'd be interested
to learn more about how
this works,
