mircea_popescu: but yeah, "advertising" will probably survive in
the charity part.
Pierre_Rochard: how much did putin pay you for
the russian debt informercial you ran earlier? ;)
Pierre_Rochard: pete_dushenski: indeed, larry ellison was not sponsoring America’s Cup boats in
the late 70’s
SquirtPrincess: may not be
the best but i
think
the biggest i've seen on here lol
Pierre_Rochard: my view is bitcoin is a macro-economic phenomena. Advertising it makes as much sense as advertising for a housing crisis in 2005.
Throwing away money
Pierre_Rochard: because you see, one guy buys
the sponsorship, ESPN buys some apps, VC makes money, circulate circulate
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu well only since you stole ben_vulpes's precious
time from vanads and repurposed it
towards
that foundation
thingy
mircea_popescu: but anyway, my
two bits would be : do not sponsor
the stupid shit of
the old world. so what if
the plebs like
to watch basketball ? we don't like plebs.
Pierre_Rochard: nah, VCs give you money so
that you stimulate
the economy
pete_dushenski: i hear
there's
this roi
thing
that businesses are supposed
to worry about
Pierre_Rochard: heya pete_dushenski. Contravex gonna sponsor st pete’s bowl
this year?
mircea_popescu: then a week later
the
thing blew, because
the cleanning lady disconnected
the power and
the data sockets, and reconnected
them backwards.
assbot: Logged on 31-03-2015 20:57:59; ascii_field: 'hostile user' connects it
to mains.
SquirtPrincess: thxs had
to find a sharpie
that would work uploading now <3
pete_dushenski: wide grate, yes, and seeing
the balloon get pricked is pretty satisfying
mircea_popescu: it is fresh enough, sure. i dun
think we really give much of a shit about any particular derps, so kinda wide grate.
mircea_popescu: i guess
they read
the logs, looked up
this new word "roi", had a mindblow.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski speaking of which, didn't
the bowl
thing
they sponsored ditch
the bitcoin logo recently ?
gribble: evoorhees was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 year, 36 weeks, 4 days, 22 hours, 43 minutes, and 53 seconds ago: <evoorhees> I need
to go for now, on later
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo pity it's
the same 2-3 derps
that keep pushing it. i recall some goon or other was having fun with
them on
tardstalk last year. "really, it's not mps fault X scammer
touched you"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo o look, we progressed
to "fictitious exchange" ?
jurov: square reader without cpu?
thjat is interesting, hope you don't mean scanning line-by-line with linear one?
mircea_popescu: i was like... o look how nice, he did
that on
the
toilet.
nubbins`: oh man, where did i see
the
tiniest sig ever
the other day...
mircea_popescu: nubbins` have you ever lelled at
the circumstance
that if one ever sees pgp used like we use it, it's invariably with a ridoinculous line-and-a-half signature ?
assbot: Logged on 31-03-2015 20:23:48; ascii_field: Chillum: barcode reader is simple enough conceptually
that it doesn't need a cpu.
nubbins`: the
true
test of
touch-typing skill
mircea_popescu: SquirtPrincess well normally no, because it's just a bodypart rather
than you know, you. but at any rate, i'm feeling generous so, put ae654537 on your
tits,
take a picture, report back.
assbot: Logged on 31-03-2015 20:16:34; chetty: well I guess eulora will get
the ultimate
test
then, mp is planning on installing a copy on such a box soonish
mircea_popescu: if your profession is law enforcement. <<
that law enforcement should be in scare quotes.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "increases
the cost
to and adversary and might permit" <<
mircea_popescu: you know if you're
trying
to make a living with
this you gotta have
them like in a holster. like your business card.
mircea_popescu: how is it not exactly like having ... you know, a router
that runs, as Chillum well points out, decade old binaries ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "
This is not akin, for example,
to
two people using
the same model of mobile phone but both having software
that is out of date. Rather,
the outdated version
that both "French Maid" and FORCE (as Nob) used is more of a "signature" given
the greater number of versions available." << such a bizarre notion,
this.
mircea_popescu: no. previous work = pictures of you nude
that you have previously published.
this is not a 100x100px icon, and it is not a R rated
thing.
mircea_popescu: not
that it's such a big deal
to add 2 and 2 and get 4.
mircea_popescu: so
these people here...
they didn't like
the set-up where
the half week off for easter didn't bridge
twoi weekends, so
they called a general strike.
mircea_popescu: and he's desperate for some capital, because jew boy really
thinks
that's how you survive prison
mircea_popescu: also,
they
think
they're edgy giving him 50 cans o
tuna or w/e
they use,
trinque: motherboard (vice) probably
thinks
they're being edgy having an article written by Shrem
mircea_popescu: o,
that's
their job. amplifying stupid is what
the press does.
ascii_field: and,
the imbecile - i can understand.
the press going along ?
ascii_field: (sop in ru and probably every prison on
the planet since babylon at least0
jurov: "When Dave paid John 25 MAK for a workout, every inmate in
the yard would
take out
their notebook and jot down
the
transaction."
mircea_popescu: nobody in
the usg can do anything anymore. it's not just
that i have
their home address and i know who
their wife is fucking better
than
them.
ascii_field: wake me up when it has problems
taking half of what i earn.
mircea_popescu: and
there you have
the chief importance of snowden, strategically : he drove home
the fear.
chetty: well given
that
the rule of law is no more, no reason not
to have a little 'fun'
ascii_field: and
thousands of minor malingerers who wanted
to do something - anything -
to fuck
the beast
mircea_popescu: how many of
these are
there ? (all of
them, within reasonable
tolerance). how many of
these are more
than willing
to work under a power's blanket, if
that power's powerful, rather
than
their own ? (a bunch)
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: he wasn't just working for
the 20k
mircea_popescu: now consider
that
this man was willing
to
throw away
the goodwill of
the behemoth for simply...
three
times
that, and
tell me
mircea_popescu: speaking of which bit :
the guy made, according
to court documents, a very cushy 20k A MONTH. which, let it be noted, is a lot more
than media whores a la sam altman actually
take home.
chetty: well I am sure
the data is all
there, basement of big buildings and all
ascii_field: jurov: incidentally,
this is SOP in cheapo dc gadgetry
that runs off
the mains
mircea_popescu: ascii_field nah,
these days scamzors masquerade as "special agents"
