cazalla: mircea_popescu, what's wrong with unity?
this game is preddy good btw
mircea_popescu: the only problem with
that statement is
that "a community" consisting of some
third worlders hired by a local company hired by a vc flea hired by a usg flea is really not all
that much.
mircea_popescu: ey actually being moved around on
the blockchain. Essentially, ChangeTip is a Bitcoin-based startup
that in no way utilizes Bitcoin, save for
the fanatical frenzy of
the community of bagholders.
mircea_popescu: More interestingly, ChangeTip doesn't even actually use Bitcoin -- it maintains a centralized, internal ledger of "who" has "how many bits" and
then, when
the user is ready
to cash out, pockets
the ledger-balance of "bits" and delivers dollars
to
their banking account. At no point in
the entire process is a user does a user ever actually have
to
touch bitcoin, and at no point in
the entire process of
tipping is any mon
mircea_popescu: but i guess for
this sort of
thing it's actually ideal.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, only just started but
the char creation has plenty of customization
cazalla: friday afternoon, beer and
the release of pillars of eternity.. gg!
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: is
the new
trilema header of you with a jacket over your shoulder or are you pointing at
the camera/reader ?
pete_dushenski: this just being in
the context of
trends ? or how else can it be used ? other
than "secular society"
mircea_popescu: in general it should mean either, if used as a
time indication,
to do with centuries, or else, esp if used in a religious setting, a synonym for "temporal", ie, not divine.
pete_dushenski: aok. i'd heard
the
term, but it never really meant anything
to me
mircea_popescu: "secular
trend" = "it was a
trend before i was in business"
mircea_popescu: was some random guy with a secular short fund
that keep rolling options
assbot: Logged on 27-03-2015 03:42:59; mircea_popescu: who was
the guy with
the "short" fund, had some of
the horrid0est results ever. i recall discussed here maybe cca 2013
assbot: Logged on 27-03-2015 03:40:12; mircea_popescu: entire fucking building reeks of pot.
these people...
assbot: Logged on 27-03-2015 03:17:35; asciilifeform: but we're on 'junkyard wars' not 'who wants
to be a quadrillionaire'
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell felipelalli
tell you what, if you can prove ownership of a btc address, you can have 1% of whatever's in
there as a loan, for short intervals, interest free. how about
that.
pete_dushenski: either way,
the hygienic hypothesis for circumcision, shellfish, and
trichinella breeders is very modern.
mircea_popescu: "Ganhava um pouco, e perdia muito. Meu saldo final, depois de muito
trabalho e
tempo, foi APR de -13.27% aos investimentos atrelados ao dólare e +6,44% em bitcoin."
pete_dushenski: prove
that you're strong enough
to abstain, strong enough
to slice nuts, etc.
mircea_popescu: i suppose cutting bits of genitals is
the sort of
thing
that's interesting enough
to explain itself,
mircea_popescu: i
thought
that was
the idea behind "hygienic" circumcision
pete_dushenski: the jewish
thinking being: if we're all
the same, no one will notice
that jews != gentiles
mircea_popescu: chiefly by us -
the socialist entity most
threatened in its socialism.
mircea_popescu: and for
that matter, once one end's
threatened,
tptb would increase
the pressure on
the sore spot - hence all
the realignment behind palestine
these days.
mircea_popescu: in
this worldview,
the completely insane political construction of "the state of israel" suddenly makes sense, and a lot of it. key
to perpetuating
the welfare state - no peace in palestine.
mircea_popescu: which may even explain
the "civilised world" obsession with same, if one subscribes
to
the
theory
that hey, said world's been doing nothing but cribbing
the jews since whatever, 500ad.
mircea_popescu: overcompensation if you will, against
the
thing
that produced
the "train
ticket sold for diamonds" as well as
the "i'm fine, even have caviar, what if
the world is coming apart"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
thinking on
the ghetto stuff... it would perhaps not be inconceivable
that
the contemporaneous jewish obsession with socialism is derived from
the utter failure of
their previous, individualistic, capitalist approach.
assbot: Logged on 27-03-2015 00:13:13; mircea_popescu:
the cure looks very much like you'd imagine : strong encryption, strong (mental especially) discipline, minimal fortification along
the riverline.
felipelalli: I have
to sleep, here 3:40 AM. I'll see your feedback later.
felipelalli: Thank you for all, and
thanks mircea_popescu
nubbins`: yeah,
this boot via
tftp is pretty dope.
mircea_popescu: that is
to say, for some reason if left
to
their own devices jews especially in europe dwelled in
the most insalubrious, asian arrangements conceivable.
mircea_popescu: by
the way : it is perhaps worth pointing out, for
the benefit of
the younger who certainly do not read, and understand even less
than what
they read,
that
the jewish ghetto was a ghetto before hitler.
assbot: Logged on 26-02-2015 22:21:49; asciilifeform: 'and when we had nothing remaining
to eat,
they gave us a
turnip,
they gave us a beet. "here, have some mice, have some fleas! here, have some
typhus! die of disease!"' - warsaw ghetto
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no longer a solution
to your stated problem.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
That comes in next story on not-Bitcoins behaving badly.
mircea_popescu: to prefer a solution
that clearly will not work, and by necessity, over a solution
that clearly does in fact work is one definition of insanity.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform sea is very poor solution ot
this, seeing how its very demanding nature GUARANTEES you need other people.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo why not "this casts doubt on
the overall viability of
the USD as a unit of account and medium of payment" etc ?
mircea_popescu: which seems akin
to jews reacting
to all
the propaganda by building auschwitz by
themselves.
mircea_popescu: well, if
that's
the standard i guess
the south east of russia
then, definitely.
mircea_popescu: where
there's no derps,
the usg does not magic some into place.
mircea_popescu: police is in
town BECAUSE
THOSE DERPS LIVED
THERE ANYWAY
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> fucking empty. you have any idea how empty alaska is ? <<
This is a point. And on land unlike on sea one can
travel even if deprived of vehicle.
