asciilifeform: a victorious mircea_popescu is made up of 10,001 young corpses where they went to the galleys and nobody cares.
asciilifeform: what's the operative, as mircea_popescu would ask, difference ?
asciilifeform: i read a very distinct 'yarrrrrrrrrrrr i'ma a pirate and yer all landlubbin' scum' in mircea_popescu's earlier observations re 'negotiating position' and 'why not try not eating'
asciilifeform: and at any rate mircea_popescu should thank beelzebub for this, because otherwise he'd be buried under pile of corpses.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu was prolly thinking of a mosin.

asciilifeform: once upon a time, mircea_popescu met a cabbie and gave him a broomstick. but original legend did not tell us that he also gave him a 1941 nagan, complete with 'tula' and red star, loaded with 1 round, and the learned man said to the cabbie, 'when you get bored of sitting on the broomstick, here - you can stop'

asciilifeform: did mircea_popescu's intel inform him that spandrell's translations are in fact no translations at all and he pulled it all from his thumb ? or what.
asciilifeform: until mircea_popescu learns it and replaces him. etc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: only to the extent such a thing will ding the snr of those folk
asciilifeform: and i suspect that mircea_popescu will now tell me that 'any idiot can print and sell on amazon' is merely an opportunistic fungal infection. and he is probably right.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not by the laser-print-on-demand thing as such.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: back now.

asciilifeform: sorta showcases the extreme of the 'tallest building you can build' from mircea_popescu's 'prophete' article.

a111: Logged on 2016-06-03 22:07 pete_dushenski: Now it’s China’s turn to attempt to prove that their centrally-managed currency can do it. They’re going to fail because nobody trusts China and nobody ever will. The business community knows that the Wall Street game is rigged but it’s rigged in a way that they trust. Nor will Bitcoin ever be more than a plaything for people on the fringes of the financial world. Pete’s very knowledgeable about
