mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nobody caters
to anything but
the govt where you live.
decimation: "'? Guest: Any museum--I'm paraphrasing--it basically says any museum
that sells art for any purpose for any purpose other
than
to buy more art--so it's okay if you have
three paintings by Painter A and none by Painter B and you like Painter B and you sell an A painting and buy a B painting.
That's okay. But if you ever sell out of
the collection for any purpose other
than more collecting,
then other museum directors are forbidden by
mircea_popescu: as any purely fiat market,
the art market exists strictly on
the basis of such policies.
decimation: This was in
the context of a conversation about art museums. apparently it is forbidden for any art museum
to contemplate selling any of
their art
decimation: "But
the one
thing it seems
to me
that economists wake up--if you wake
them up in
the middle of
the night and say, 'Hey, what's
the most important
thing?'
They will say, 'Marginal cost pricing.'
That
the way
to make a market work properly is
that everything should be offered for sale at its marginal cost, which is
the cost of someone using it."
assbot: Tips and
tricks for being a successful (small
time) landlord. | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... (

menahem: you have
the link
to
that ?
mircea_popescu: and gawd almighty is
that barrel deep and has
the cat pissed in it.
mircea_popescu: and exactly for
the reason stated : if you're a slight prize, you get
the best crop of
tenants competing for you. if not... you're stuck rooting
through
the bottom of
the barrel.
mircea_popescu: you WILL actually make more money letting slightly under market
than in ANY other way.
menahem: pete_dushenski is a pimp. love
that guy.
mircea_popescu: dude pete_dushenski has his moments. whodda
thunk he has such subtle points down pat as "the most important
thing is
to not overprice".
decimation: although note
that usg is fine with 18 year-olds voting and dying in
the military
mircea_popescu: usians don't even know what
thery're missing, gettin gdrunk for
the first
time at 21 is not
the same.
menahem: ahh, getting drunk
the first
time as a
teen. good memories.
mircea_popescu: the 2nd is pretty bad
throughout, sort-of a lawrence of arabia made by first
time drunk
teenagers
mircea_popescu: (the chickens are in
the cockpit, occupying
the entire left side)
mircea_popescu: president even quips
that imagine,
the most important man of
the 2nd richest most powerful country being reduced
to
this! air force one powered on chicken droppings!
mircea_popescu: the first's only vaguely notable because it depicts a marginal us (in
the 70s) running everything on chicken shit
assbot: Logged on 13-05-2015 01:59:16; williamdunne: Maybe I could
try and one-up
them and climb up into
the mountains for a few years and carve a guide into a stone
tablet.
mircea_popescu: shit, i go watch a couple bad marty feldman movies,
the log runs off
BingoBoingo: williamdunne: So
the Van Cleef name in your linked article was also
the same person at
the CFTC meeting on Virtual currencies and with lesser connection may have been:
BingoBoingo in practice views signify as
the equivalent of iso images with md5 fingerprint offered in 2004. Some asurance contents as packged, but not any guarentee
BingoBoingo: OpenBSD
though is at its weirdest reading Loper-OS and it is recognized as C coders
trying
to make
the safest Unix
they can
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Bob Beck
the OpenBSd fundraiser. Sginify
though was different person,
tedu
BingoBoingo: People who have been fumbling in
their own WoT simply
trying
to come up with a useful code signing
tool. Ideal, no. Useful, maybe. MP continues his Bob Beck fatwa? Well, MP never really ends
those in practice.
BingoBoingo: Well,
the libsodium
thing. Yes distasteful. Used
though only for signing and verifying. Pretty sure we had a short convo about how similar "reop" sucked. Far from ideal,
then again ideal needs new silicon.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Nah, OpenBSD has "signify" uses NACL based
thing
assbot: Logged on 13-05-2015 02:00:08; BingoBoingo: williamdunne:
They sign
things
too, but... For
their own use in releases
they have a GPG alternative because GPG licensing violates part of
their license purity directive. Dunno how good it is , but sometime hetrogyny is insteresting.
BingoBoingo: None of ItBit, CoinBase, or Gerald "DeathandTaxes" will ever get licensure in all 50 US states because of Federalism yet
they will all pretend
to have reached it.
BingoBoingo: williamdunne: Sentence from ItBit article highlighting how
this problem has happened before and will happen again.
BingoBoingo: williamdunne: "CoinBase earlier announced licensing
to operate as an exchange in all 50 states, an assertion which was later found
to be questionable."
decimation: asciilifeform: did you see
the osama death raid 'alternate history'?
williamdunne: BingoBoingo: Its saying
that
they may need further licenses - slightly different, no?
williamdunne: Sure
there is plenty of stupidity
that can be pointed out
pete_dushenski: "Carissa Yip from Andover, Massachusetts earned
the
title last month and also became
the youngest
to ever
to defeat a grandmaster, Alexander Ivanov, during
the New England Open in 2014." << ok. she's good.
pete_dushenski: "Carissa Yip, 11, has become
the youngest chess master in
the US. " << man,
those old usian men need
to step it up !
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: I'm scared
to
thing how much more
that last property would sell for as a bare lot
decimation: yeah, good point, plus if it's a dumb
terminal it wouldn't add any value
pete_dushenski: ftr 53.5* N latitude is
the same as hamburg, dublin, and manchester
cazalla: another
trick
the use is
to import shit from china via new zealand so as
to label it packaged/made in new zealand instead of made in china

trinque: I've wondered, considering it from
the other end, whether
the govt's
trying
to provoke fergusons and baltimores.
pete_dushenski: decimation well,
they gotta start south and work
their way north, y'know ? i'm at 53* N latitude !
decimation: asciilifeform: does
the 486 'headless client' run dos?
assbot: Logged on 13-05-2015 02:17:59; decimation: one advantage of australia and new zealand is
that
they have
to grow
their own fresh vegetables - so everything is 'local'
assbot: Logged on 13-05-2015 00:09:37; mircea_popescu: but of much more direct interest, "It is hard
to see why
this same pattern wouldn't hold once
the US places much of itself under military occupation."
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform
that's reasonable. it's also funny
to note
that while i live in
the city proper, it's all of
two square kilometers out of, what, 40 ? 80 ?
decimation: pete_dushenski: amusingly it is my understanding
that
the central americans have nearly completely displaced certain construction
trades,
to
the point
that it is nearly impossible for a regular white (or black) person
to work on a 'framing
team'
assbot: Logged on 12-05-2015 23:38:48; mod6:
To begin with, I was completely unfamiliar with gentoo in any sense -- aside from once
trying
to set it up from
the Handbook, which I found
that I didn't have
time
to work my way
through and get it set up properly. So my goal was
to get familiar with Gentoo and
to start
to build a system
that can be agreed upon
that suits our needs for building bitcoind.
BingoBoingo: Wood beams has always been
the north American Standard. Wood's been so easy
to get.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform
that's hardly a common definition in north america. why ? sprawl. no geographic boundaries
to contain construction from going horizontal rather
than vertical.
assbot: Logged on 12-05-2015 23:23:27; gabriel_laddel: his(their) ability,
to develop
the practice of medicine in accordance with reality. Being subject
to
the prejudice and
technical limitations of
the
times is inescapable (the notion of "humors" may have made more sense without knowing of chemical reactions).
The notes on
the constitution of a patient's stool, fasting and diet are probably still valid. In
the 'General Introduction' Jones notes
that phi
decimation: pete_dushenski: yeah, in
the us more expensive homes are just bigger wooden boxes, built by central americans
