mircea_popescu: Companies 10 and 11 promised monthly returns of 50% and 100% (later 40% and 70%) respectively. At the same time, share prices could plummet 50% for company 10 and 100% (e.g. all the way down to 0) for company 11. That caveat (known

as the fucking protestants would have you believe. it is not true that appetite or expansion are evil,
as the puritans would hae you believe.
mircea_popescu: dermined the basis of social stability, by substituting the bonds established by “contract” for those dependent on “status”
as a basis for social order." are little more than present nonsense anachronised.
cazalla: eventually someone will come up with the idea of renaming the ponzi to a mining simulator and pitch it
as such
cazalla: in the case of GAW, they point to bitmain and had them confirm that they placed an order
as proof that they mine and people fall for it all the same

mircea_popescu: under the umbrella of the Ghee Kung Tong, identified by the feds
as a de facto Chinese mafia organization. Chow begs to differ: “My organization is not what they call a secret society,” he says. “People misunderstand—it’s not a secret. It’s a private self-help group, helping people, our people. It’s about loyalty, trust, honor.
As the chairman, it’s my job to help people.”
mircea_popescu: i propose euman
as the term. it's different from human in that it's BETTER!

as when he submitted to learn from the crow.
mircea_popescu: it took me a coupla passes until it sunk in that the woman actually is seriously presenting this
as some sort of an argument,
mircea_popescu: right ? i predict "the dictates of reality"
as a concept to make its appearance at the war on terror warcrimes tribunal.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: applying statistical (or otherwise) counterfactuals to an actual reality is a mistake of the same elementary scope
as division by zero, or direct conversion of metres to grams - but for some reason which entirely escapes me, this is not obvious to people << the reason may escape you but is obvious.

as a Christian, could you go back to the Jesus stuff please" lol

as retarded
as lesswrong, originally, a sort of obscure livejournal clone populated by worthless shut-ins (which doesn't mean alkl shut-ins are worthless).
mircea_popescu: anyway, i guess now i'm stuck doing a rawls is a clueless ignoramus masquerading
as a philosopher (if the "american" part didn't give it away by itself), inept enough to present mere circular reasoning
as "moral thought"
mircea_popescu: "you are greatly overstating the importance of the site, it's not reddit sized. it's not even digg.com sized,
as of today. it's actually smaller than your blog, 5-10k a month sort of affair."
assbot: The eagle never lost so much time
as when he submitted to learn from the crow.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the 10 buns in a package producer lobby is working
as we speak to make the bread knife illegal.

mircea_popescu: "On top of this the recent release of SolidCoin has highlighted another problem in the Bitcoin protocol. It it susceptible to a drop off in "mining power", which is essentially the people who process transactions switching to more profitable things such

as far
as i can tell, a sort of wanna-be -assets minus the cool stuff.

as revolutionary
as mcxNOW was originally in 2013." << i clearly missed out on yet another biggestfirstbest revolution
