decimation: for instance, hardly any jurisdictions use 'torrens
title'
decimation: well, I agree
that it would make sense
to do
things
that way
mircea_popescu: it's not usually made much of, but
the sensible way
to
take stuff like famous artpieces is exactly real estate.
mircea_popescu: and so are
titles of various kinds - such as
to mineral rights, or whatever.
mircea_popescu: take for instance "(7) Standing
timber growing on land which belongs
to
the same person as
the
timber."
mircea_popescu: the remedies available distinguish
the nature of property, and
the remedies for chattels (your "personal" property) are of same value, because chattels are fungible.
mircea_popescu: very much doubt it, seeing how
the above is at common law.
decimation: I
think
this might be a difference between common and continental law
mircea_popescu: that's why if i steal your house i am ordered
to give you back ~your house~ but if i steal your bottle of beer i am ordered
to pay you for a beer.
mircea_popescu: real estate is
that estate which is identifiable in itself, rather
than by its characteristics.
mircea_popescu: that's just shorthand, "oh, real estate is
that estate which can not move"
mircea_popescu: it has its own variant of
torens
title and everything.
decimation: certainly some signed document
that says "I bequeath X
to Y" would be helpful in any reasonable court
mircea_popescu: obv, fake
title will be constructed by convention, but hey. not unlike saying "the moon belongs
to X"
decimation: in
the us
title
to personal property is rarely documented (outside of automobiles)
ben_vulpes: is
the private key not adequate
title?
mircea_popescu: gifts are nice and good but for unperishables it is always a good idea
to obtain a piece of paper
too. any golddigger knows
this.
assbot: Logged on 22-03-2015 16:17:10; asciilifeform: re: picasso article: i can easily imagine a 'Dark Future of Hello Kitty' (TM) where a plebe found with
ten fifty is prosecuted because 'he could only have obtained
them by stealing from j.p.morgan, stop
telling lies,
there's no other way'
mircea_popescu: "While
the collection has not been officially valued, reports in
the French and international press have estimated
that it could be worth as much as 120 million euros, or about $130 million."
assbot: Logged on 22-03-2015 14:05:31; nubbins`:
the only reason MP gets away with being a prick is because his articles are circuitous enough
that it's not worth
the effort
to construct counter-arguments
assbot: Logged on 22-03-2015 13:57:41; nubbins`: 'cause if
that's
the case, jamaica must be *unbearable*

trinque: I
think we just solved it, representative democracy is a
trauma I can no longer acknowledge exists
mircea_popescu: i intend
to use it for
the eulora new accounts process, and well...
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron hey, mind writing a "for
total noobs" guide for deedbot in
the b-a wiki ?
funkenstein_: came with a free difficult
to decipher
t-shirt
that says "entropy
this ease freedom"
funkenstein_: got my mycelium stuxnet entropy in
the mail yesterday
decimation: it's not strictly historical but
the main author was a journalist who covered
the baltimore police for a long
time
decimation: cazalla:
The Wire is a pretty good
take on how life in
the 'big city' works in
the us - and its bureaucracy
decimation: jurov: Luther has many great writings. Unfortunately most of
those who belong
to churches
that he founded have
tended
to overlook his writings
punkman: you dig up
the wrong
thing, you no longer can use your land.
punkman: the island with
the bulls and
the Minoans
jurov: they explicitly mention
the judge had no evidence
they are stolen. hence
the outrage
punkman: is
there even any evidence of
the picasso works being stolen? maybe davout can find better article
Pierre_Rochard: jurov: once irs catches air of
them,
they’re 39.6% less useful
jurov: at least, once irs catches air of
them?
jurov: haven't you just argued
that for you, half a mil btc is equally as useless as
that picasso?

assbot: Logged on 06-03-2015 03:29:02; mircea_popescu: making money is a purely ~political~ function. if you are among
the favoured elite of
the respublica veneta, you
then may invest in
the ships, and make a profit. if not, not.
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 06-03-2015 03:29:25; mircea_popescu: if you are one of
the people buying belgian rubber concessions on
the stock exchanges, you make money. if you're in africa, you make quick with
the hands and feet.
jurov: "It seems I must have liars and villains for opponents. I am not worthy in
the sight of God
that a godly and honorable person should discuss
these matters with me in a Christian way.
This is my greatest lament."
nubbins`: punkman:I'd put
The Wire in
the
top
ten
though, I quite enjoyed it <<< +1
nubbins`: bit late
to claim
that you really wanted
to see "jamaica" if you're complaining
that
the guy selling beads on
the beach wouldn't polish your knob
nubbins`: bask in
the glory of being surrounded by wholly artificial personalities in wholly artificial surroundings
nubbins`: if you want
to see respectful reverence, stay at a resort
nubbins`: consider
that "respectful reverence" (lel) is precisely a waste of
time in such situations. if
their first impression is
that you're an asshole, why would
they go further? almost certainly it's not worth
the effort. save
the smiles for
the 200 other suckers who were on your plane, and who will gladly open
the wallet
nubbins`: "the Jamaican people by and large,
though we’ve certainly seen exceptions, have much
to learn when it comes
to
treating
their patrons with
the respectful reverence
they deserve" <<< you've *got*
to be
taking
the piss here.
nubbins`: and FWIW most of
the arawaks (native
to jamaica) were sold into slavery or died from smallpox.
they still have blood in
the caribbean, just not in jamaica
nubbins`: but if you lay it all bare, saggy
tits flopping
to
the sides... don't expect people
to kiss it
nubbins`: the only reason MP gets away with being a prick is because his articles are circuitous enough
that it's not worth
the effort
to construct counter-arguments
☟︎ nubbins`: i dunno, man.
this whole article gets a C-
nubbins`: "sourcing
their ingredients from within spitting distance,
thus keeping
the revenue in
the local economy" <<< you mean keeping
their /expenditures/ in
the local economy.
their revenue goes elsewhere, unless
they're
the ones buying all
the dimebags.
☟︎ nubbins`: "So
that
the locals here seemvii
to have an unwarranted expectation of my generosity" <<< unwarranted how? every whitey
that goes
to jamaica spends a
ton of money.
nubbins`: anyway,
third-world
tourism is an interesting
thing
nubbins`: 'cause if
that's
the case, jamaica must be *unbearable*
☟︎ nubbins`: pete_dushenski are you advancing
the opinion
that colombian
touts are nicer or friendlier
than jamaican
touts?
mats: fun fact: Chrome has an entire PDF serializer just for print preview - it creates a PDF of
the page and
then renders
that in PDFium.
punkman: I don't particularly care since I don't live in
Tuvalu or wherever
punkman: "Meanwhile,
the summer minimum ice extent reached in
the Antarctic was one of
the highest recorded"
trinque: as for
the glaciers, I am not informed enough
to know whether
they'd be dumping into
the ocean with or without us
trinque: I
think we just solved it, representative democracy is a
trauma I can no longer acknowledge exists
☟︎ trinque: we being
this insane social aggregate I'm forced
to participate in
trinque: we are so ill equipped
to deal with any problem rationally, let alone sea level rise
trinque: maybe if we
tell
the glacier it's
triggering us with its microaggression, it'll stop
fluffypony: also it's just
the
top of
the iceberg
that is exposed
to
the sun, most of it is underwater so it's fine
fluffypony: trinque: obviously it's a good
thing, it means more water, and since
the advent of quality bottled water
the consumption of water around
the globe has increased
punkman: "after a while, she had
to return
to
the safe space. “I was feeling bombarded by a lot of viewpoints
that really go against my dearly and closely held beliefs,” "
trinque: later,
teaching
the controversy! is glacial melt a bad
thing?
trinque: punkman:
that ad... incredible
punkman: maybe I should grab
that remastered version
punkman: I'd put
The Wire in
the
top
ten
though, I quite enjoyed it
cazalla: every boardwalk empire went
to shit in
the last 2 seasons
cazalla: punkman, agreed, i only watched a season or
two of
that before giving up.. same shit every episode
punkman: cazalla: I'd say most overrated has
to be Walking Dead
these days
