mike_c: I'm picturing a guy standing
there scratching his head wondering how he's going
to get
the X he needs
that's in
the bottom of
that box.
mircea_popescu: that
the site isn't worth anything FOR
THAT REASON idem.
mircea_popescu: that his hours aren't worth anything isn't a point he's well inclined
to grasp under
torture, let alone figure out on his own.
mircea_popescu: if you go
through
the insanities
they [used
to] drop on
the forum,
the way unemployed/unemployable css derp sees
the matter is, "he put 1000 hours worth 100 dollars each into
the
thing
that is not really worth anything. so how about
the users split
the damage ?"
cazalla: i sometimes wonder if
the guys who set up
these
two bit exchanges get frustrated at having lost money after a year despite an expectation
they would get bought out and so decide
to just steal
their users instead so
they can sleep well at night
thinking
they got
that illusive 6 billion dorrah google buy out
cazalla: i love
them
too because
they are so
tasty
fluffypony: I love animals, but not enough
to change my diet
cazalla: i just saw
that pop by on
twitter,
that's why i ask :P
Vexual: banned on
the internet and shit
Vexual: me
thinks one was a fat roll, but still..
Vexual: pete_d did you see
the
total recall 3
tittie in negril?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "errying LEGAL
that
touches x will
touch you
too!!11" omfg who let
the shamans out of africa.
cazalla: thestringpuller, i bet
the majority of
tips came from people who didn't even get a ride.. 1 btc, almost worth
the
time
to contrive a similar video
cazalla: wow, i want
to punch
that guy in
the face after 5 seconds of
that video
pete_dushenski: or line
the doors with drugs and send you
to "a friend's house"
mircea_popescu: car cleanning doesn't randomly switch your
tires out with popsicles.
pete_dushenski: because hushmail didn't do
that a decade ago or whatever
assbot: Logged on 15-03-2015 08:54:25; cazalla: ah bitcoin pete edited
the
text
to fix spelling errors so nothing untoward afterall.. when you read
this, sorry pete_dushenski
cazalla: if anyone does have suggestions as
to what
type of content
they would like
to see on Qntra, i'm all ears
cazalla: once you cut
the obvious press releases, vc's funded such and such company and altcoin news,
there isn't much
to choose from on quiet weeks
cazalla: the past week has been quiet which is why so many of
the other sites
turn
to altcoins stories
to use as filler content
cazalla: yeah, but considering
that it was floating around
the #3 - #5 spot on /r/bitcoin, it's quite poor
ben_vulpes: it has c structs
that get derped into whatever c db a given version is using
ben_vulpes: (except for
the part where its schema is defined by
the ruby orm)
ben_vulpes: it's probably no worse
than
the satoshi codebase.
ben_vulpes: "but you know you might want
to move
to a db
that can't enforce constraints on itself like mongo, and
then where would you be?"
ben_vulpes: my favorte part of rails projects is how
they infrequently enforce
things like foreign key constraints.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: you're aware
that
this is actually a
thing already, right?
mircea_popescu: other
than
that,
they probably should move
to c# or w/e.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes
the only problem is
the notion
that power rangers = "core", somehow.
ben_vulpes: more implementations is a
totally fine and good
thing.
assbot: where_what_now comments on
Time
to lobby Bitcoin's core devs: "SF Bitcoin Devs Seminar -- Scalability
to billions of
transactions per day, satoshi-level Micropayments, near-zero risk of custodial
theft, & Instant
transactions"... but only w/ a malleability-fixing soft fork. ... (

thestringpuller: i
thought
the reddittard notes project got cancelled by canning ryan x. javascript d00d
BingoBoingo: I
think Conde at least still owns reddit in part.
THing's a mess.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu:
they aren't owned by conde nast anymore. but you make a great point
tho.
decimation: "gigavps i am highly confident in
their ability
to deliver" "gigavps per contracts i am having
them sign" lolz
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo ahjaha oglaf is becoming exquisitely better with
time
mircea_popescu: and for
that matter, apple also delivered
to some degree.
that's not
the contention.
decimation: the asicminer guys delievered
to some degree. why weren't
they willing
to actually have a real company with a real existence, rather
than some guy on a forum
thread?
decimation: I didn't realize
that asicminer had courted mpex
mircea_popescu: people readily forget
that
the asicminer on mpex deal fell
through once asicminer wouldn't sign properly. which was clear enoug writting in
the wall in 2012 for mpex investors never went into it. and so...
decimation: surely apple has seen
this sort of
thing coming
mircea_popescu: basically, poor but smart chinese boy has figured out
that if he uses dumb but prideful white boy as his own hand puppet, he can let HIM get all
the "certifications" which are worthless anyway,
then let HIM underwrite all
the credit, which is what
the investors want
to do anyway,
mircea_popescu: the way foxconn is using apple as a detachable glove / investment point is exactly copied after
the manner some chinese guys used "friedcat" / asicminer.
mircea_popescu: anyway, im starting
to get some appreciation of
the chinese scam by now.
mircea_popescu: so i would humbly suggest
that
the naked emperor lives in a cage.
mircea_popescu: in spite of what was it, elsa
the she-fox going around endless rows of nude chinese pubescent girls with a whip and
two cobras.
decimation: yes apparently foxconn is doing quite well for apple, apparently
there's no need for a 'competing vendor'
mircea_popescu: in
the same vein, it would be interesting
to know how much of computing expertise lies in ibm as opposed
to its gates contractors.
decimation: mircea_popescu: except
they don't MANUFACTURE anything. < it would be interesting
to know how much of
the manufacturing expertise lies in apple proper vs. its chinese contractors
mircea_popescu: "apple's
the world's largest buyer of some classes of items. while not
the largest in any class of any import, and not
the largest buyer in any sort of general perspective, one could select some items by a criteria more or less alligned with "items apple buys"
to make apple apear like
the largest buyer of items apple buys"
decimation: it just
turns out
that making shiny baubles is way more profitable
than making jet engines
decimation: heh, well measured in bezzlars
they kinda are
mircea_popescu: "Apple is
the world's foremost manufacturer of goods. "
chetty: careful "young eager sluts" have a way of
turning into mothers
mircea_popescu: fuck you i've been studiously ignoring
the whole mother
thing in favour of may 1st "young eager sluts" day forever.
mircea_popescu: obviously it should alternate, however... us has been stuck on motherly for
too long.
mircea_popescu: "motherly" in
the sense of, prioritizing survival over performance.
mircea_popescu: more along
the lines of, "if you had
to do surgery in
the forest, how'd you go about it"
ben_vulpes: but
they're not generally on my board 'cause
they're mothers, you know? if
they are on my board
they're incidentally mothers.
