mircea_popescu: so what, o'reilly smelled
the gunpowder and is splitting from
the scam foundation ? or are
they actually yielding in corpore but still
trying
to protect gavin's head from my platter ?
davout: he said
things should be fixed when
they actually become a problem
mircea_popescu: davout

the fork won't fail, but contrairiwise
davout: first question: "waddaya
think about block size"
mircea_popescu: "our plan
to drive adoption is
twofold : first, make a lot of people off
themselves.
their
thus orphaned offspring, will, necessarily, be adopted. we will endeavour
to drive as many as possible, but some might have
to walk."
kakobrekla: well,
there will be more orphans so i perhaps more adoptions
davout: there was antonopoulos' ama on
the driving adoption side

there in
the list of ancient professions.
mats: how much does a gigolo cost
these days?
ben_vulpes: but as soon as i figure out
the non profit hustle in
the states i'm going
to get myself a lobbying job
ben_vulpes: well it's my personal payroll as opposed
to
the company payroll, assholes
ben_vulpes: <mats> [] i have recently discovered grocery delivery << i like it
too, except i just have lady v do it
assbot: To be clear, everyone, defense has NOT made
the argument Mark Karpeles was DPR, instead got a DHS agent
to admit he was a suspect
assbot: Defense's alternative
theory seems
to be
that MARK KARPELES OF MT GOX and one other were
the real DPR. /hashtag/SilkRoadTrial?src=hash
pete_dushenski: i mostly just like

pete_dushenski: and now, go figure
that clarkson is all wooed by
the i8
pete_dushenski: and pointed out
that
the battery required rare earths from all over creation and was
therefore, cradle
to cradle, less enviromentally conscientious
pete_dushenski: funny how clarkson called
the prius out for being a poser's
turd back in 07 or whatever
pete_dushenski: "The cachet of
the Prius has dissipated in
the years since because,"
pete_dushenski: " among other reasons, its fuel efficiency advantage over
the competition has shrunk substantially, and
Tesla has emerged as
the green car of choice
that’s not only environmentally friendly, but stylish and a rip-roaring hoot
to drive as well."
pete_dushenski: "with $2 gas being commonplace,
the Prius is only viewed as a smart financial choice by drivers “who stink at math.”"
pete_dushenski: "What happened?
The short answer is: cheap gas prices."
pete_dushenski: through
the first 11 months of 2014, Prius sales were down nearly 16% compared with
the prior year.
pete_dushenski: Zafar's attorney has said his client pleaded guilty
to accept responsibility and move forward with his life. << he'd better. it also
ties into
this week's pleabargain convo
pete_dushenski: Zafar convinced Miller
to give him $2.6 million, Lewis
to give him $4 million and Jones
to give him $1.5 million, all for an investment opportunity
that Zafar said would "quickly obtain a significant return." But rather
than reimburse
the Miami Heat or
three individuals, Zafar used
the money "for his personal use and benefit,"

pete_dushenski: it's
the
the major pro sports in
the us are
trying
to out-retard each other
pete_dushenski: A man who portrayed himself as a member of a wealthy Pakistani family and was often seen driving luxury cars including a Ferrari faces sentencing in a multimillion-dollar investment scam involving
three former Miami Heat players and
the
team itself. << as if
the donald sterling shmozzle wasn't embarrassing enough for
the nba
pete_dushenski: Some $12
trillion in new money has been created since
the global financial crisis by
the major central banks in a broad attempt
to bolster hobbled banking systems, ease debt service and revive a damaged global economy. << deflation, surely, is right around
the corner
pete_dushenski: he was recommended by a commenter on contravex and his writings looks
to be pretty on point

texas
too
mthreat: ya.. i've seen minor versions of
that. drainage FTW
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> i must even make "reasonable precautions" against defacement of
the poster. << sign under it
that says "Do not deface poster" should both result in defaced posted while still counting as a reasonable precaution
ben_vulpes: i must even make "reasonable precautions" against defacement of
the poster.
mircea_popescu: so you're really after
the political statement
that it is a business owner's own right and privilege
to educate whatever he sees fit, and
the intermeddling of some "state" is at best unwelcome ?
mthreat: i
think i've seen
those in
the bathroom
ben_vulpes: but being
told
to educate on a
thing of such
triviality and irrelevance
to
the business is loathsome.
mircea_popescu: i have no idea what you imagine
the point of a company is if not educate its workers.
ben_vulpes: "we're going
to pass a law, and
then make
the people who actually get shit done
teach
the proles about it."
ben_vulpes: in other news, i have
to put up a notice
to my employees
that my company bears unemployment insurance.
this is all standard practice, but it irks me
that
the responsibility for educating people about
their rights falls
to me.
ben_vulpes: that's capital equipment
that makes more capital equipment.
ben_vulpes never did it for more
than a few hours
tho
mircea_popescu: —yet could not scrape up cash enough
to buy a saddle, and was obliged
to borrow one or ride bareback. He said if fortune were
to give him another sixty-thousand-dollar horse it would ruin him."
mircea_popescu: "An individual who owned
twenty feet in
the Ophir mine before its great riches were revealed
to men,
traded it for a horse, and a very sorry looking brute he was,
too. A year or so afterward, when Ophir stock went up
to $3,000 a foot,
this man, who had not a cent, used
to say he was
the most startling example of magnificence and misery
the world had ever seen—because he was able
to ride a sixty-thousand-dollar horse
davout: but
then 'Be
that as it may, consider ca am cam obtinut ce am dorit prin comentariile(adevarat, exasperant de incalcite) prin care autorul completeaza sau clarifica unele sectiuni mai gri.'
davout: mircea_popescu: at first i was like 'Be
that as it may'
davout: i never really had
the occasion
to make a butseks-a-guy-who-sekses-up-some-chick face so i guess
that's an unknown for now
BingoBoingo: davout: Deer probably find your "I'm fucking" face creepy
too
davout: BingoBoingo:
the
third's face is creepy
mircea_popescu: tell me if it's going
to affect
the us's
top rating, derps.
mircea_popescu: "Fitch's managing director of sovereign ratings Ed Parker said
the move would not affect Switzerland's
top-grade rating." ahahahaha jesus fucking christ.
mircea_popescu: and are going
