davout: asciilifeform: is it
to search it? or
to check
that it isn't just filled /w explosives?
Adlai: after i repeated "linux" a bunch of
times, ran xterm and opened random man pages, eventually
the guy got overwhelmed/embarassed and just waved me on
davout: Adlai:
they seriously made you login
to your comp?
that's pretty retarded
Adlai: davout: my cdg layover mia→tlv was packed with equal parts frenchman and jew... confusion over whether
to clap was palpable.
davout: mircea_popescu: furnished flats are
the exception in france
too
davout: the retarded part of
the french also clap at landings
danielpbarron: in
that, I would probably be willing
to
trade 750 GSC for 250 BTC
danielpbarron: I
think I got it now. I was hung up on my own bias against GSC
mike_c: i can do
the math for you if it's helpful
mike_c: if you are >
than
that confident in gavincoin, it's a good deal
mike_c: danielpbarron: you need
to be 75% confident
to break even
danielpbarron: where BTC is
this "stilly worthless
thing"
to
them
danielpbarron: so it's kinda like
they are
trading 750 BTC for 250 GSC, no?
danielpbarron: right, it's still a "good deal"
to
those who are so sure
the fork will be a hit; i'm just
trying
to figure out how "good a deal" it is
mircea_popescu: or in other words,
they make 250 gsc for no risk, if
they believe
this
theory whereby "people" will "update"
to gavincoin on gavin's say so.
danielpbarron: so someone pays you 750 BTC
today, which
turns into 750 BTC and 750 GSC (gavinscamcoin) later, and you just need
to buy another 250 GSC
to settle
the deal
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron ahem.
through what sort of magic
the parts summed exceed
the sum ?
mircea_popescu: basically

the other.

think
this one went
to /dev/null
mircea_popescu: "give us your
tired, your hungry" omits
the whole picture : sure a country of immigrants is a grand way
to build yourself up. but, necesarily, it's a great way
to fall over like a deflated donut within a century.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron
the problem with places
that used
to be great but lacked
the social structure
to support it is
they degenerate essentially
the same way.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, romania was in europe
throughout, it was going
to push industrialization
through regardless.
assbot: Logged on 12-03-2015 17:19:15; asciilifeform:

the youtube ends on
the same note. "let
them do
the food"
mod6: jurov: not even a
test email made it
through.
mircea_popescu: yeah well,
there could scarcely be imagined a more degenerate people.
mircea_popescu: i propose
this matter still needs a lot more
thinking.
mircea_popescu: would be a shitload cheaper
to just rent serially. FURNISHED appartments.
mircea_popescu: you wouldn't want
to live in a bob sleigh or inside your go-kart either. it's not
that dissimilar.
mircea_popescu: i mean sure, as an outing, soemthing

the
thing swaying

to spend a while with a coupla girls on a yacht ? or generally, spent any
time on a sail vessel ?
mircea_popescu: fluffypony well
the results were so out of place for

things

theoretical physicist :)
trinque: better
to advance
the career, get another
tv or whatever
trinque: easier when you're poor, heh. I've moved across
the country several
times, selling all
the crap
that didn't fit in a car
mircea_popescu: may explain why you're even contemplating
the alien insanity, instead of just
telling me i'm evil.
mircea_popescu: the reason you find it so hard
to escape
the gravity well is in no small part due
to
the fact
that you;ve spent many decades making
the wrong decisions and
they're a bitch
to undo.
mircea_popescu: yours is some sort of insane c) where it has all
the disadvantages of both.
mircea_popescu: basically, you're in
this space
that doens't eixst, at all.
there's a) real estate you own, and you like enough
to own, which contains furniture of value proprotionate
to
that. and b) real estate you don't give a shit about, if you come back
to find it ablaze you just shrug and move on.
chetty: oo
thats what I want a desk
that goes up and down so you can sit or stand :D
mircea_popescu: antiques suffer from
transport, and wtf do you even want
to put nice furniture in a place you don't like.,
mircea_popescu: look, if you're going
to fill a place with antiques, YOU SHOULD NOT BE RENTING IT
Adlai: clerical workers,
