mircea_popescu: o look at
that, from
the actual expert in
the field herself :)
hanbot: haha nubbins`, enjoyed reading you on
the warpath
mircea_popescu: whoa, dude actually butchered a chunk of berchemia
to make his shotgun-cut atrocity ?!
thestringpuller: USGavin is
trustworthy and honest, and
the hero bitcoin deserves and needs!!!!!111
thestringpuller: Didn't he say
to you, "No one is saying make
the block size infinite"
mircea_popescu: "This accusation was started a few hours ago,
the bulk of my clients have not even logged in since
this who parade of nonsense started." sounds like
the social media artisan :D
nubbins`: content
to just let it fester now, with
the occasional jab
to keep
the bees from settling
too much
mircea_popescu: anwyay,
that
thread is exactly what one'd expect : everyone with even half a clue, all
the way
to smoothie saw
the same
thing i saw. we're not like experts or anything.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` yeah, hand carving mostly consists of doing "the edges" specifically because laser chased
them off
the flat surface.
fluffypony: "GAW should be evaluating
this SEC investigation
troll
to see if
the conditions are right for a libel suit against
the people behind it. A retainer on a case like
this would be in
the vicinity of $50k - $100k and costs could run
to $250k - $500k by
the
time its done. If such a case is
to proceed it will
take a minimum of
two years, but an injunction against any further disparagement should be sought at once."
nubbins`: more a misrepresentation
than anything
mircea_popescu: nubbins` it's your own fault
tho, you worded it
too strong.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla
the DESIGN is unique. except for
the part where
this old woman whose daughter i used
to fuck on occasion had a plastic
tablecloth in
the same color and pattern.
nubbins`: i
think
this is my first hate
thread
kakobrekla: well its 17.950 for
the wood, 49 shipping and 1 dorra lazering
mats: BingoBoingo: holy shit,
that pastebin is
terrible
mircea_popescu: let's not dispute
the actual facts in contention but instead spew a
ton of emotional bs.
that's
the way!
mircea_popescu: "AND EVEN, if
this pieces were carved by a laser... I would still love
them and
they would still be unique." win.
nubbins`: you can
tell it's legit because it's almost
the same username as
the guy who originally commissioned
the piece,
then vanished without a
trace
nubbins`: the guy with
the 5 day old account says he's legit
BingoBoingo still wants a
table salt shotgun for hunting spiders.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla for a moment
there i had a vision of a
tiny dog pack coursing for mice over a
tiny field.
kakobrekla: yes, should be more specific,
they are
trapped
nubbins`: i don't
think he realizes you can silkscreen on
things other
than
t-shirts
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> iirc
the romans grew
these in jars, fattened, served up << Basically equivalent
to American fascination with chicken wings. Eat all of
them before going
to
the Vomitorium.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla aren't
they
trapped ? actually hunted instead ?!
mircea_popescu: "You are claiming
to be an artisin silkscreener? never new
there was such a
thing. In
that case, i am also an ARTISAN dishwasher, well when my wife is mad anyways. Oh and an Artisan snow shoveler as i have decades of experience with
that
too. I mean, as long as we are making up names for professions." << you're screwed nubbins`. you know how many
times ima link
to
this ? do you ? DO YOU ? :D
kakobrekla: my grandfather still hunts em in
the wild.
kakobrekla: <asciilifeform> -dormouse-. hibernates, edible. < not a big fan but
their fat is
traditionally used for a buncha medical stuff
mircea_popescu: "^
This is a wood lathe,
this is how i
take square
things and make
them round." lmao
that
thread's so adorable.
undata: ahoy! I'll probably have a prototype working on
testnet
this evening or
the next
mircea_popescu: and
there's plenty you can do about
that. start with you know,
the variety speak.
assbot: Logged on 18-01-2015 21:55:19; mircea_popescu: ok well, inasmuch undata is new and
this isn't really very hard, let him do it
then, gain some cred.
STRML: Not much I can do about
that. I can get our CEO on here at some point in
the near future
STRML: And it's of course natural not
to
trust newcomers
mircea_popescu: but
the usual "hey i made a company which is a website which makes claims which are either
trivially falsified or not provable because reasons", well...
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: bitcoin has no price signal << MP ain't opening
the studio up until
this is fixed
mircea_popescu: if
the solution is actually good
that gets you a spot.
mircea_popescu: which is why i said "depends
to what". if you come in and say "hi guise, remember
that problem with
the derivatives ? check out
this solution i figured out!!!"
BingoBoingo: STRML: Who do you
think put
the MP in MPEx
mircea_popescu: but
that's less important. what's more important is, bitcoin has no price signal and you propose
to do derivatives. well... got some questions
to answer.
☟︎ STRML: My partners are much more
tuned into finance and
the Bitcoin scene
than I am, I handle
the web aspects of
the service
STRML: mircea_popescu: Just wanted
to say
that I appreciate what you do, I didn't realize you were behind MPEx
mircea_popescu: "The retaliation has been
terrifying." << no, it hasn't.
mircea_popescu: this is what linus is. no name, no nothing, anon idiot gets
to use his own qualifiers.
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: Seems
to be an especially strong week for drama. I anticipate Moon.
mircea_popescu: "Last
Thursday, I criticized
the Linux community for continuing
to support and center a leader with a years-long, documented history of unrepentant abusive behavior, someone who has actively and systematically nurtured a hostile, homogeneous
technical community, and someone who has long actively chased people from marginalized groups out of open source."
mircea_popescu: incidentally, since doormouse exists, maybe it's
time
to have doorartist
too ? someone using half pound chisels as proof of artisanry?
mircea_popescu: you're
too suspicious asciilifeform. most people are actually dumb.
mircea_popescu: dude i have one of
those. I used it recently
to fix a door
mircea_popescu: nubbins` (btw, asciilifeforms been doing a
ton of plastic and other matter cutting with an actual laser for cardano project, so... expert
testimony)
mircea_popescu: "How many
times you look at it. It was clearly carve by a 40
to 60 watts co2 laser. " << i'm with him. looks just about right.
thestringpuller: STRML: Is
this channel usually so hostile? << You're asking
to put your arm into
the woodchipper and we're
telling you its not going
to be fun if you do.
kakobrekla: cause
the lasers dont come out of his eyes
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i have nfi what posseses someone
to
take a perfectly valid product and pretend it's something else.
mircea_popescu: oh i see. it'd better be some sort of "leave britny alone!!!1"
thing.
nubbins`: the
thread's
there so he doesn't need
to waste
time making it later.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron yeah im with kako,
they seem
to stick
to him somehow.
nubbins`: he's, uh, coming up with it in
the next few days.
mircea_popescu: no,
that it doesn't. my suspicion is, as far as i'm personally concerned, grounded mostly in
the fact
that you had no idea
that, for instance, mpoe covered ~30k btc worth of derivative losses without "sociualising".
this in 2013.
danielpbarron: i didn't realize he had such a reputation in here! I mostly know about him from when i used
to idle in -otc
danielpbarron: "Blazedout commissioned a $14,000 art piece. I shipped it first and he followed
through with payment as promised." << LOL, Blazedout419 was
the sucker?
STRML: But I am happy
to enter
the WoT
STRML: Just because I haven't spent much
time on
this particular IRC channel doesn't mean
that I, and by extension my company, is untrustworthy
mircea_popescu: STRML no, not my word. my word means plenty. your word means little, but for very good reason : 1) you're not in
the wot and b) you've not do your reading.
STRML: It's a matter of building a reputation and maintaining it. Only way
to do
that is
to consistently be
trustworthy over a significant period of
time.
STRML: Of course your word means little in
the Bitcoin space
STRML: And we're
the only derivs exchange
that doesn't do socialized losses. It
takes a far different approach
to guarantee something like
that
mircea_popescu: STRML do you understand
the space between a claim and a fact ? anyone can say
that. in fact, people
tend
to.
this doesn't correlate with anything substantial.
