mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes incidentally, a server or two to be used
as a [l2-accessible?] bitcoin testing environment may be a great foundation expenditure
cazalla: mircea_popescu, is this news that Netopia mobilPay enabled 6,000 merchants in .ro to accept bitcoin same beat up story

mircea_popescu:
as tlp would say, "don't change the system, just shuffle among its offerings"
decimation: so you are big on 'voluntary taxes'. what if someone was living in a 'voluntary tax' jurisdiction but did not pay? Do they have the same legal privleges
as one who does?
mircea_popescu: if you define labour
as per income, then it is by definition.
ben_vulpes: the way i understand it is that company a owns the assets, b leases them which reduces its apparent income. lease payments come into a and are not categorized
as passive investment income.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, that is about
as misleading a statement anyone could make lol
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> now it's inanities like the street tax to pave the ghetto. << srsly, paving the ghetto, for
as long
as it uses forced labour of the inhabitants and very rudimentary tools, and it's done in the middle of the summer, is a splendid idea.
ben_vulpes: undata: "street tax" << my parents have called portland a "benevolent communist state" for
as long
as i've lived here. it's only recently started to pass its inflection points letting the impoverished demand more and more.

gernika: I agree - a german burrito seemed unappealing just

as something concrete made out of that run down kitchen, but apparently at the time I thought that was my best option.

as he and his friends have a strong lock on the bezzlars funneled into sv, he is more than willing to throw his 'own tribe' under the bus in order to appear magnanimous
undata: and serves
as an example
undata: might
as well nuke the whole state from orbit when better masters own it
mircea_popescu: how can you NOT like the real isis ? the fake isis (usus ?) is just

badon: BingoBoingo: That helps, but I don't think it helps
as much
as everyone wishes it did.
Vexual: badon: if you wanna quantify people you might

punkman: total rating is indeed useless
as a number
badon: A venture capitalist wants to see an entrepreneur's children's college funds on the line, along with contracts to send them off to work in the mines. Then the VC might take them seriously
as somebody who's going to do their best to not lose the business.
BingoBoingo: The voice thing though is that words have meaning, and the strength of that is predicated on the person doing the speaking. Hence strong identification
as opposed to weak identification.
decimation: which is basically the same argument
as "but x86 has the warez"
Vexual: what it doubles
as a hammer?

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: So, a lawyer is inquiring what my hourly rate is
as an expert witness... What does everyone else charge? << go for 40. too low you won't seem that expert. too high they'll just get antonoderp.
BingoBoingo: And per diem is essential too, because if I'm going to chicago I'm not staying in a fucking Motel 8. I'm staying in the Sheraton,
as a professional.
ben_vulpes: so long
as it has ducted thrust at the tips of both the long axis and short axis, you can arbitrarily dictate its angle of attack.
ben_vulpes: decimation: that's why i've always advocated going straight up with jets and then drifting sideways for

assbot: Logged on 26-01-2014 19:43:38; asciilifeform: for instance, they see their country
as having 'sat for the same exam'
as the ussr, and passed, while the latter flunked.
BingoBoingo: So, a lawyer is inquiring what my hourly rate is
as an expert witness... What does everyone else charge?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu> i dunno that there's something chilling me on bitcoin

pete_dushenski: real rockets don't provide
as many hours of entertainment for
as many proles
pete_dushenski: "Kmart has become the second major retailer to pull controversial video game franchise Grand Theft Auto from its Australian stores... Target said on Wednesday it would stop selling the game in response to customer complaints sparked by an online petition posted by three women identifying themselves
as victims of violence in the sex industry."
undata: "The sale also became symbolic of a quest for redemption after he became what he called an “unperson” in the scientific community seven years ago; he had told the The Sunday Times of London Magazine in an interview that he was pessimistic about Africa because “all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same
as ours, whereas all the testing says not really.”
undata: the guy might
as well submit a bill to bring back the gold standard while he's at it
mircea_popescu: decimation: eh, flat makes those famed 'afraid of volatility' types happy <<< yet for every 500 guys that went "o bitcoin i can not use it is too volatile" for 3 years going, you don't hear
as many
as .5 guys today "o, now i can use it"
BingoBoingo: I have to admit I've been eyeing the pretty Bitcrane machine

as cover for their own agendas
xinxiwang: Sg may fail to incorporate that kind of democracy
as well.
joecool: hey mp, can you make assbot only use notices instead of msg? I know the ddos is a pain in the ass but if someone is unlikely to respond to notice, they are unlikely to respond to privmsg

mircea_popescu: for our esl (english
as a single language) friends : мили́ция = mili-tsya
mircea_popescu:
as a result, there's nothing fucking scarier than the former known to man.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> if trained
as in what a strong man in a circus does to get strong - then, yes, trained (but note, not every man can become a circus lifter) << Not every circus need be honest.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform> the easiest way to distinguish 'intelligent' and 'well-trained' is to invent something (sufficiently synthetic -
as in, requiring grasp of multiple disparate and reasonably deep scientific fields) to apprehend, and then see how much explanation creature requires to grasp it. << bulb battery wire?
mircea_popescu: most of the things one identifies

as that last video showed, there are plenty of ppl of all colors who do not want the police removed
undata: BlueMeanie4: I could just
as easily see this Yuri character
as anticommunist psyops
mircea_popescu: BlueMeanie4 the "whole country" is only "a mess" in the sense that random idiots are inept, and the model where you run a continent
as a centrally planned economy requires a lot more than a conclave of idiots in charge.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i guess it can work
as glass too. the noun i only knew
as woad, paint.
