mircea_popescu: they're expected to know for themselves.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla people with enough money have this priviledge, that they may order whatever they wish in the restaurant.
trinque: mircea_popescu: damn, hadn't heard that one
kakobrekla: mircea_popescu so you will allow for your clients to get fucked, as you strongly believe that addr reuse is the the way to go, yet you will serve poisonous uniques to clients.
mircea_popescu: trinque did they ever run the stories about how uk soldiers ran a private rape camp in africa, paying the refugees about a dollar per year of age for all night ?
assbot: The BBC is still ignoring evidence of a potential cover-up over Jimmy Savile - Telegraph ... ( http://bit.ly/1C1TkFp )
trinque: jurov: dunno bout proof, but I'm referring to things like this http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/bbc/11243459/The-BBC-is-still-ignoring-evidence-of-a-potential-cover-up-over-Jimmy-Savile.html
mircea_popescu: just because man doesn't wear a bra doesn't show much about it, men don't wear bras, they wear ties.
mircea_popescu: basically you're saying "how come the man doesn't have a bra ?" when discussing whether man and woman are both dressed.
chetty: they do their share of making rhe russian the bad guys ...like homosexulas can¿t drive there
trinque: jurov: bbc works in the opposite direction, covering up for the uk politicans raping the kids themselves
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla sadly one can't have at the same time verifiability and opacity.
jurov: we can close whole thing with "everyone is doing it" but.. when did bbc published something like rt did "EU is preparing laws to take your children and to give them to homosexuals"?
mircea_popescu: paranoia only remains in the tank.
ascii_field: chetty: there is a confounding factor: that much of su was bought up at fire-sale by usg operatives
chetty: << would not be terribly surprised if they had the same puppet master
mircea_popescu: rt = russia today, ftr, not reuters
trinque: chetty: and sure, always knew they were rivers of shit; still hadn't ever heard from anyone that for example even knew what russia was like internally
kakobrekla: anyway just to conclude ihmo this accounts thing does not hold water, but wont poke further.
chetty: rt/nbc/cnn all the same big disinfo machine
trinque: it's those kinds of perspectives expressed here that I would *never* have encountered in daily life
jurov: yes that what i meant
mircea_popescu: see it's from fishing, when a fish bites so hard it eats not just the bait, but with it the hook, and the bit of fishing line all theway to the floating thing
ascii_field: jurov: notice that i don't live in ru, and nobody's inviting me over. but i happen to see the conflict of irreconcilable civilizations thing, and see the ru version - with the orc barbarism, yes - as less moribund
mircea_popescu: you know, just because most people find sooner or later personal reasons to hate large groups of idiots doesn't reduce the problem.
jurov: my opinions were formed by several friends eating disinfo that was later traced back to RT, with sink and hooker
ascii_field: jurov: like, as with one fella i know, a certain country confiscated his family home and turned it into a (literal) city jail
mircea_popescu: not a bad idea, that.
ascii_field: jurov: i admit that i'd enjoy reading an article-length thought re: what is it between you and ru
kakobrekla: aha so every one of last 50 or so accounts requested this
mircea_popescu: not how that works. generally if they get one they get one for all their stuff.
kakobrekla: "theories about privacy and keep pestering me for special addresses" < why would anyone be concerned only to have the first address for first deposit+registration unique but is then fine using 1fx for all later deposits
kakobrekla: i dont see how it makes sense to have a special deposit address for first registration+deposit and then you are fine using the single one for all of the rest of txes
mircea_popescu: btw kakobrekla mind link http://deeds.bitcoin-assets.com/ to http://deedbot.org/ ?
mircea_popescu: nothing's more unlike mp than mp himself.

assbot: Logged on 19-03-2015 20:22:56; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-03-2015#1057738 << it is. people (especially people kinda too lazy to study things in depth) have all sorts of theories about privacy and keep pestering me for special addresses etc. it's a fashion is what it is, one i don't aim to encourage, and i'm stuck because w/e, serving teh customer. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: but the original universities were fortified, exactly to keep the redidtards of the time awya.
assbot: Logged on 19-03-2015 12:53:07; jurov: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-03-2015#1057736 << have you looked on the 1Fx addy? that would mean no new accounts since november
kakobrekla: was this addressed yet? http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-03-2015#1057811 ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: "university" means elitist and antisocial. neither of these exists in the muggle world anymore,
trinque: had the distinct reaction after hanging out a while that "this is what university was supposed to have been..."
assbot: Logged on 19-03-2015 18:23:44; lobbes: I tell you, I've learned more in this channel in a year than I did my entire 4 years of college/university
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-03-2015#1057950 << and i dun think you're the only one. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 19-03-2015 17:54:20; mod6: is anyone working on porting over the original submitted deeds to the new deedbot?
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-03-2015#1057934 << e) trinque lol] ☝︎
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the well documented nonfiction blog is always well regarded, and as it happens stuff that's banal to you often will be fascinating to others. which is why a psychologist's blog is like, b-a's favourite blog or something.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-03-2015#1057929 << very true danielpbarron. blogs aren't a collection of literary fiction unless you particularly wish to do that. there's however a glut of bad ones, because many idiots think themselves "creative" when they're just stupid, ignorant and lazy. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 19-03-2015 17:06:07; thestringpuller: danielpbarron: re: youtube videos for dumb people << i've started thinking because Videos are much easier to consume than words, dumb people are more attracted to it cause they can "watch it" instead of "read it"
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-03-2015#1057922 << but that's exactly what it is. "more accessible", as in, tolerable for idiots, while inconvenient for smart people. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: do thicker arteries lower embolisms too ?
mircea_popescu: how the fuck do thicker walls lower crime.
mircea_popescu: if this implies he settled on pow for that reason, it then follows he chose the correct mechanism for exactly the wrong reason, becuase that's the only aspect under which pow has failed.
mircea_popescu: as a fine example, the bit danielpbarron quotes : "The proof-of-work also solves the problem of determining representation in majority decision making. If the majority were based on one-IP-address-one-vote, it could be subverted by anyone able to allocate many IPs. Proof-of-work is essentially one-CPU-one-vote."
mircea_popescu: one of the most fascinating things about reading satoshi's statements is just how often he makes the correct choice for the wrong reasons.
mircea_popescu: i wonder what this guy did in his life that he's so upset at himself anyway.
mircea_popescu: ajhaha you got cut off before the better parts.
mircea_popescu: gotta admire danielpbarron's dedication tho.
mircea_popescu: who is this then, goat ?
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron lol account made today no less ? cute.
mircea_popescu: i thought drugs cured insanity.
danielpbarron: did my paste get cut off? racist is in there.
mircea_popescu: or is that when i became mysoginistic.
assbot: Logged on 19-03-2015 16:51:07; trinque: my both immediate and long-term strategy has been to identify markets where the software has languished, and to raid the space with something built well
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-03-2015#1057881 << generally the correct strategy is "never compete in saturated markets". which is why i don't date, i don't vc, i don't business school etc. ☝︎
danielpbarron: I'm sorry, maybe I don't understand where you're coming from, but why are you quoting Mircea Popescu? I admit I have not read this entire thread, so maybe there's a reason... but I don't see what value there is to quoting an insane, misogynistic, racist drug addict here? The guy has shown time and again that he has no idea what he's talking about and everything he has ever done in his life is complete garbage (just going by
danielpbarron: speaking of which, here's the latest lulz from the forum:
mircea_popescu: this "idea" is so fucking retarded it's perhaps the best advertisement to my ancient "you don't get to have ideas, go work for someone who matters" thing. only people without the first clue as to how things work could entertain such nonsense.
assbot: Logged on 19-03-2015 16:56:38; danielpbarron: he's probably referring to some thing where both parties put up bitcoin collateral in an escrow controlled by "the block chain"
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-03-2015#1057901 << imagine fi every time you went to buy something both you and the seller had to imobilize capital. wallmart would need trillions just to be able to keep doing business. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: people will react when you point out the paranoia.
mircea_popescu: like saying "look at this cute 9 year old girl, i bet she's got a cunt between her legs under the skirt there" is rather impolitic,
mircea_popescu: only inasmuch as you think this is a label to begin with.
jurov: is it a big misrepresentation to label it as paranoia?
jurov: "from nato-world standpoint, ru is holding the rest of the planet back - by annoyingly remaining alive and sitting on all that 'unearned' mineral resource and unraped land"
mircea_popescu: you both need for your own sanity to misrepresent the other's set.
mircea_popescu: well cause he lives with one set of idiots and you with the other.
mircea_popescu: what, it's secret, i don't get to see it ? only the choice alfs ?
jurov: well... so you see what is the nato standpoint. not these "unraped" delusions
fluffypony: "release the money to mircea_popescu if I send the money to mircea_popescu" is about the sum total of it
mircea_popescu: so basically... it's about as redundant as everything else the power rangers have made, past coupla years.
mircea_popescu: your contract must be specified. once you specify it, you have specified a way to circumvent it. end of story.
fluffypony: basically it can only ever work on things directly observable on the blockchain
fluffypony: the fact that you can fuck with something outside of it is a fail point
mircea_popescu: jurov you have a point, there.
ascii_field: jurov: ask the folks who live there.
assbot: Logged on 19-03-2015 16:56:16; fluffypony: the fulfillment is easy
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-03-2015#1057898 << easy my foot. i hope you try and think you succeeded and then automate it and then i rape you with dns poisoning. ☝︎
ascii_field: jurov: they are already there
jurov: US is not risking a conflict there
jurov: that's russian paranoia from the US. it's clear beyond doubt, chinese will move to siberia first, given an opportunity
mircea_popescu: dubious. most oil is probably in the sea.
ascii_field: and likewise (though less so) the petro
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: what i meant was, the rare earths of ru are largely still in the earth
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> more efficient economical system runs through the fuel - faster. elementary << nope, other way around actually. the more advanced, the more fuel.
ascii_field: jurov: just describing why 'there ain't room in the town for the both'of'em' to borrow from 'western' films
mircea_popescu: and russians don't have many freiends in the caucasus etc
mircea_popescu: everyone in the middle east hates the big satan / us for exact same reason
mircea_popescu: simpler explanation : everyone in central europe hates the russians, because last time they had the chance to matter they fucked it up.
ascii_field: more efficient economical system runs through the fuel - faster. elementary
