cazalla: i got part way
through season 2 and didn't bother going any further..
the wire is
the most overrated series evar
mircea_popescu: And studied all
their OPSEC and legalities of what
to say
mircea_popescu: I downloaded all five seasons of
The Wire from
The Pirate Bay
felipelalli: mircea_popescu:
that's why I regret
to send, now I remember!! ahahhah I knew you would say
that.
mircea_popescu: i've been saying plenty about it, here and on
the blog
felipelalli: mircea_popescu: ok! :-) So, what is your political position, if you want
to say about
that.
mircea_popescu doesn't really do
this entire private
thing. ask him here, it's what
the here is for after all.
felipelalli: If I am not wrong, I sent an email
to mircea_popescu asking his political position, or I regret
to send.
felipelalli: they can blame
the people: "you are wasting water"
decimation: nevertheless, I'd have a beer with
the guy :)
decimation: I
think
there were a few
trilema posts on
this point
felipelalli: decimation: I know.
That sign of Mises was not mine.
decimation: mises & hayek were (classical) liberal statists in
the final analysis
trinque: felipelalli: what do you
think of
the water situation
there?
decimation: outflanking usg from
the left is a common pattern worldwide
decimation: yeah
they have been coloring red for
the past decade
mircea_popescu: of course, exactly how
the color revolution's gonna go...
mircea_popescu: if
they pack it and leave everyone else's reduced
to hunting wooly mamooths with bows and arrows.
trinque: felipelalli: I'll have
the rest of
the lever-pulling automated before long
mircea_popescu: anyway, brazil's actually in a better position in sa
than
the us is in na.
trinque: mircea_popescu: haha, fuck
the valley; I'd rather be here.
decimation: well,
the irony is
that obama is a product of
the other side
mircea_popescu: decimation one
that got pretty well corrupted at
the petrobras
trough
decimation: basically
the dead hand of su derping around
the americas
danielpbarron: felipelalli, here's
the

mircea_popescu: i
think undata's going for
that whole "manic customer support" angle.
felipelalli: trinque:
thank you! I
thought you are kidding when you said YOU would send me! :)
trinque: I
too... love ass channel.
mircea_popescu: something like
that, yeah. fucking scary by
the looks of it.
mircea_popescu: decimation you seen
that btw ? delma found herself with like 2mn people in
the capital.
felipelalli: but in Brazil we are used
to use per month. Maybe because per year would be ridiculous huge.
decimation: this
tends
to be a benchmark for
those who are fronting money for business
decimation: the 10 year
treasuries are just under 2% in usd
mircea_popescu: anyway, as
to
the interest rates,
there was a discussion recently, and no, business rates aren't per month, you want
to pay what, 3ish% a year or some shit.
felipelalli: mircea_popescu: it is a pitty because it was (a kind of - or has potential
to be) useful.
mircea_popescu: it's an accident, and from
the equity perspective, it's a disaster waiting
to happen.
mircea_popescu: and
this is incidentally why i said earlier
that
they are not a business in
the first place. it doesn't fucking matter what "others
think". others don'tthink, others bray.
thinking is above. and
the
thinking is, it
takes
two days for
them
to lose half
the userbase
that matters.
mircea_popescu: visible across
the whole spectrum, how do you
think myspace went from selling for a billion
to
turner
to selling for 18 mn or w/e it sold off
to.
mircea_popescu: which, again, is why
things go certain ways, invisible hand and all
that.
mircea_popescu: and so
then you leave, and so
they lost like, one of
the
two guys
that actually did something, and
that's
the end of it.
mircea_popescu: but for
them, going from a 70 aggregate
to a 100 aggregate is a net gain.
mircea_popescu: in short : you were so diluted by idiots you didn't even realise your sum
total human effort was worth less
than a systematic, spammy approach
to
things.
mircea_popescu: if
they change it like
they did, willy nilly it's 0.02 per, which comes
to... 100. which is more.
mircea_popescu: there's another 48 dudes who are kinda derpy but still useful,
their avg "wot added value is 1 each.
mircea_popescu: now, out of
those 500,
there's like ... 2 ike you. your "wot added value" is say 10 each.
mircea_popescu: well yes : suppose
they have 500 users, which is about where intel puts it.
mircea_popescu: felipelalli has
the opportunity
to become a sort of speaker for
the dead as it were, for a certain set of dead.
mircea_popescu: the beauty of
the wot system is
that it readily fragments, and whoever bridges bridges.
assbot: Logged on 22-03-2015 01:50:53; PeterL: do
the speak english?
mircea_popescu: there are market forces pushing
things certain ways and into certain niches, invisible hand and al lthat.
trinque: felipelalli:
there was a previous iteration which I will soon dump
the history into
the present incarnation
assbot: Logged on 22-03-2015 01:26:33; felipelalli: and, of course, 4)
there are better investments
than BTCJam
to you.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-03-2015#1063215 <<< note
the important
takeaway here. nothing keeps people in other places with shit banks from being intelligent, getting in wot, becoming part of
the actual bitcoin marketplace.
there's people here from all over
the world. over
time, a low effort / consumer
thing like btcjam HAS
TO devolve into
the
typical check advance / spam loan operation.
☝︎☟︎ felipelalli: trinque: why only 6 docs? Is
that a new service, isn't it used
that much or it is only
the current day?
decimation: as I recall, colossus was
the first fully electric computer, built by Flowers at
the proto-gchq
felipelalli: !rate
trinque 1 "the dwarf behind deedbot"
mircea_popescu: in
the end,
the z's were not really useful past psychology, were
they ?
felipelalli: trinque: are you
the dwarf behind him, han? :)
decimation: mpi-fg-koeln.mpg.de/pu/mpifg_book/mpifg_bd_36.pdf > " Einen Antrag zur Förderung einer elektronischen Nachfolgeversion der Z-3, den sein Mit- arbeiter Elektroingenieur Helmut Schreyer stellte, lehnte die deutsche Reichsregierung als »nicht kriegswichtig« ab (Petzold 1985: 316). "
They
tried
to get
the nazi gov
to pay for
the advancement of
the Z-3, but it was deemed "not war-worthy"
felipelalli: trinque: now deedbot- will contact me sending
the URL
to blockchain published doc?
trinque: consider,
the page has shitloads of html, is not raw
text...
mircea_popescu: think in
terms of women, easier
to
think. "is
this
the right woman for me, for my life ?"
trinque: felipelalli:
that will do it.
danielpbarron: "I love ass channel. Ditto." <<
the deeded message btw
