the
time you're shooting policemen you're not going
to save on
the rifle.
those suckers cost
thje enemy like 1.5-3 mn a pop.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Sure, but at
the point barrels make a difference operator makes a far greater difference
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo nah, much better barrel. accuracy is a
thing.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: moder sniper rifle has bullets of similar power
to mosin, simply smaller case
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it's all in
the filling.
they make dup double strength cartridges now.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, not for
the whole club, but if you have people designated
to hit marks at a distance...
mircea_popescu: more like a "tough as nails, swiss made SKS". like
the mac10 maybe.
mircea_popescu: in any case im notsure you'd want a plain bolt action for
that purpose.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Equivalent

mircea_popescu: just say how many lengths of chord you want
to hang yourself with.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, on
that score : as mike_c correctly pointed out a week or so ago, headsup is actually a broken game now, courtesy of
teh damned computers.
mircea_popescu: dragosb i play very little
these days. i mostly played live, and mostly pre-consumer internet.
dragosb: Hello Mircea ! I read a article on your blog about How
to be a good poker player, and I was pondering do you play on-line or live?
mike_c: the first
trade after
that debacle is a buy?
mircea_popescu: there's a lot of similarity between how prokaryotes ended up with mitochondria and how commerce ended up with
the mortgage.
mircea_popescu: which is
the very definition of mortgage (a
topic of not little historical interest, because it's one of
the rare cases where we can observe biological evolution at work in what's supposed
to be fleshless abstractions)
mircea_popescu: and as
to limited recourse, it can be limited whatever way. generally it is, "lend me
this money
to buy
this house, i pay you so and so, and if i don't you keep
the house."
mircea_popescu: the idea being
that contracts (of
the old sort) are flexible and useful, just as long as
the chumps grok
that
there is no such
thing as "a standard contract".

mircea_popescu: if not, fuck me and my stupid "palace" with no running water up on a mountain in
the desert.
mircea_popescu: now, if
the school goes well and makes money im getting my pistoons back.
mircea_popescu: this is
the sort of
thing.
the professional has no interest in leaving
their current place just because i want
to relocate
them, and
the situation isn't feudal, where i just order
them moved.
mircea_popescu: let's work a model. suppose i own 85`000 square footage of marble flooring, used for running a harem. suppose i come
to
the conclusion my harem doesn't attract good / numerous enough cuntage. suppose i decide
this is because
there's no belly dancing happening. suppose i go
to a belly dancer in city and say, listen, i'll loan you 10k golden pistoons if you start a belly dancing school on my marlbe acreage.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i curious about
the no-recourse mortgages as well. lender returns payment stream, keeps asset?
BingoBoingo: ryan-c: You know keyservers exist in a much more user friendly form
than
that abomination make by
the okcupid people
ryan-c: mircea_popescu: probably at least 50,000 in
the US
BingoBoingo: That's always good
to hear.
The world needs less javascript.
ryan-c: ben_vulpes: I don't
think so. I'm not Ryan X Charles.

thousands of page views I only ever made about 70 USD over 2-3 years
assbot: Logged on 04-03-2015 18:29:13; sjsqd: but I assume
the client you work on is different
to bitcoin core?
mircea_popescu: dude it's so great
to come
to logs after a nice meal and find all sorts of gems like
these.
mircea_popescu: yeah, inasmuch as gavin
tiptoes around my lunch hour, i would propose
they're painfully aware of it, yes.
assbot: Logged on 04-03-2015 18:24:10; sjsqd: do you know if anyone from
the previous foundation is aware of it?
mircea_popescu: both of
these are becoming obsolete as ram is cheap and 64 bits plentiful. so in
the future, int will just mean "integer number" and
that's
that,
mircea_popescu: y usage,
the notion of short int was created, sometimes as small as a byte (8 bits).
assbot: Logged on 04-03-2015 14:34:51; PeterL: why in c is a long int
the same size as int?
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-03-2015#1041414 << here's
the long story :
traditionally, "int" means a word, and word means a register size, which is machine dependent (was 8 bit,
