BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: aite,
the Mars
thing has been out for a while. I'll keep looking for
the next one.
mircea_popescu: at any rate, i
think by now we know more about scams
than ny's da office, collectively.
mircea_popescu: and if neobee/primeasic/whatever is bitcoin news, so is
the exactly identially executed, designed and manned "mars project"
mircea_popescu: in
the words of
the great jukov, "the fact
that
the americans won
that battle by sheer accident doesn't mean we shouldn't win
the same way deliberately"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeah, well...
that's a good point. in honesty so is gawker, but anyway.
the distinction between one model and
the other blurs.
thestringpuller: has a sticker
that says, "Keeping public employees employed since 2009"
mircea_popescu: check it out,
trinquette kicked undata out, now he's a bum
mircea_popescu: the only
thing missing'd have been, kid frowning and in very bussins voice
mircea_popescu: she knows, for instance,
that one of
the first
things kids babblingly ask is why is
the sky blue ?
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, funny story. friend with small baby, intelligent woman, actual engineer,
the works.
trinque: look!
the sky! it's
the ass-signal!
nubbins`: "making your
thorax palpitate since 1978"
trinque: I was an asshole before I read you,
though
nubbins`: you wrote an essay on
this, i ...oh, heh
mircea_popescu: so basically we could say "another copacetic union ruined by
trilema" ?
trinque: and how "artists" live at
the pleasure of people with wealth, and no other way
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i know
that part, i'm not arguing roundly for its merits.
mircea_popescu: this was
the soviet argument in
the 20s.
their "artistry" fizzled, and really, 10 years out of 70 ?
mircea_popescu: trinque btw,
the "artists of socialism" nonsense is just so much bunk, and
thorouighly debunked.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu> cazalla just for
the record, on my wishlist-of-things-way-far-out-of-reach, stuff which like hooft says, i'll be happy
to get in a 100 years : i'd
totally love it if qntra did what medium does, and is correct in doing : chase
these social justice idiocies, get insiders
to spill
the beans. << Medium is just some
twitter founder's
take on blogger. It only holds writing from
the people who choose
to blog
there for fre
trinque: reduces
to socialism is awesome because artists vs no, food is good
trinque: mircea_popescu:
there was plenty more a sober me decided not
to put in
the permanent record
nubbins`: anyway, much flatter a power struggle, i like
that
nubbins`: whoteknighting = showing people
the mirror?
thestringpuller: i wonder if one day effort
to be scammer will outweight
that of doing actual work
mircea_popescu: but,
the fact
that chick can get him
that worked up over nothing bodes well for
teh
twu wuv factor involved :D
mircea_popescu: mats : "Comment by Massimiliano
Torromeo (mtorromeo) - Friday, 05 April 2013, 12:07 GMT
This package is not a dependency of any other package. It also needs
to be explicitly installed AND started/enabled so after installation
the system is not any less secure."
mircea_popescu: And as far as
the delays are concerned, he says, “is it really a failure if we land our first crew
two, four, six, or even eight years late?”
mircea_popescu: the projects will multiply, as
time goes by, for
the obvious economic reasons.
the lulz will increase. lulz must be mined!
mircea_popescu: cazalla just for
the record, on my wishlist-of-things-way-far-out-of-reach, stuff which like hooft says, i'll be happy
to get in a 100 years : i'd
totally love it if qntra did what medium does, and is correct in doing : chase
these social justice idiocies, get insiders
to spill
the beans.
mircea_popescu: dude wtf... srsly, 6bn ? like,
three derps got
together and went, "hey,
this IDEA is
totally worth one hundred
thousand new cars" ?
mircea_popescu: There are other bad signs for Mars One.
The organization’s contract with production company Endemol is no longer in place; Mars One was hoping
to generate $6 billion from a reality show.
wsbtc: The more I read
that page,
the more I realize I didn't know nearly as much about Bitcoin as I
though I did.
mircea_popescu: when you're a scammer you gotta be very careful with your
time. keeping above water quite
the challenge.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field in
those venues where idiots congregate,
this is heard, because it actually is +ev.
ascii_field waits for
the inevitable 'but of course anyone who would go in for
this is so gullible god himself put him upon
this earth
to be fleeced, by us preferably' retort from
the m4rssc4mz0r
mircea_popescu: )
to how leading contenders earned
their spot (he says
they paid for it).
mircea_popescu: After filling out an application (mostly out of curiosity), former NASA researcher Joseph Roche, now of
Trinity College, became one of 100 finalists
to live in permanent settlement on Mars. In his interview with Elmo Keep for Medium, Roche expressed many concerns, ranging from inaccurate media coverage (there were only 2,761 applicants, not 200,000)
to Mars One’s psychological or psychometric
testing (or lack
thereof
mircea_popescu: ascii_field yeah, world's been revolutionized a coupla
times and changed who even knows how often since
those days.
mircea_popescu: think about
that for a moment, solid coin hadn't been even invented yet.
ascii_field was about
to say 'everyone's honest after losing' but
then remembered
the
tales of phorum sc4mz0rz who
transition
to shills, etc
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla you
think ?
the
things i've seen people brag about since
then...

That It's All A Scam | IFLScience ... (

mircea_popescu: kakobrekla i just realised,
talking
to punkman yest,
that we've actually been here for well over
three years.
mircea_popescu: "Hello, I am inviting you
to check
this Investment opertunity with bitcoins. "
danielpbarron: if you know how
to GPG, you could get yourself in
the WoT
wsbtc: Hi, I'm here
to learn more about bitcoin and I understand
that
this is
the place
to do it. Where should I begin?
nubbins`: BingoBoingo either
that was already pasted here, or something else strange is going on
ascii_field: skeumorph -does something- like what
the
thing it imitates did
nubbins`: technically a business card
that looks like a pcb is not
this, but w/e
ascii_field: skeumorphism was
text editors
that look like parchment, waveform editors with drawn 'oscilloscope knobs', etc
nubbins`: *:ascii_field not enamoured of
toys which look like functional
things but aren't <<<
there's a word for
this, it escapes me
ascii_field not enamoured of
toys which look like functional
things but aren't
nubbins`: picture a sparkfun but with "stan" written on
the bottom
nubbins`: lay
the
traces in gold ink, flood a mask of semi-transparent green/red/blue/w/e on
top
danielpbarron: yeah idk what
the best filter is, but
the idea is it works well as a single color
nubbins`: oh, i'm
thinking silkscreening
the design on paper
ascii_field: nubbins`: generally it is -defunct- hardware
that gets recycled into
toys
BingoBoingo: <danielpbarron> maybe apply
the "photocopy" filter
to
the rabbit image and use as logo << probably would work cleaner as lineart bunny
nubbins`: am i allowed
to ask for
them yet? 8)
nubbins`: BingoBoingo you'll find
this is one of
the great divides of people
the world over: white background vs black
ascii_field: nubbins`:
the current version of
the mainboard, approx.
nubbins`: say, any PCB layouts from
the cardano project approaching 3.5x2" in size?
BingoBoingo: <danielpbarron> i
think gold on black is
tacky << I loved nubbins` gold on black
ascii_field: resistant
to solvents, oils, and
temp up
to 400C
cazalla: as for ads, i've wanted
to run
them for a while, but credible advertisers are lacking
ascii_field: i still like
the pcb business cards idea - in
the abstract
nubbins`: anyway, a good next step would be for people who intend
to receive
these cards
to put some
thought into what info
they'd like on
them, as well as a general idea of how
they'd prefer
them
to look
nubbins`: cazalla
that's because you're not a small business owner dealing with other small business owners
cazalla: i can't
think of anything more obnoxious
than someone giving you
their business card, it's pretty much
them saying, "here, you're obligated
to put
this either in your bidness card holder or
the bin", perhaps i don't have
the sophistication
to appreciate bidness cards like ol' buffett (or whoever it is
that collects em like baseball cards) but whatevs
nubbins`: but
that's
the other
thing, no logo
nubbins`: unless you've got a version bigger
than 30x30...
danielpbarron: maybe apply
the "photocopy" filter
to
the rabbit image and use as logo
nubbins`: i don't want
to decide for 12 people what info
they'll have on
their cards
nubbins`: nod, all
text incl. email address is mere placeholder
