mircea_popescu: isn't that idiotic ?
davout: "can't mobile drop css itself ?" <<< yeah, that would solve it, but afaik there's no such feature :/
davout: my point is that i'm interested in the content, so as long as html is used sanely it should display in a meaningful way
fluffypony: @media screen and (max-width: 640px) { /* all the qntra CSS goes here */ }
assbot: Logged on 12-01-2015 05:34:53; undata: qntra could have a media query to change the width on mobile.. just sayin
mircea_popescu: time will tell!
mircea_popescu: represented in the future, either."
mircea_popescu: "And now in practical terms : there once existed this thing called NeoBee. It pretended to be a Bitcoin business, but inasmuch as its purported CEO was not in #bitcoin-assets, it never stood a chance. This is a point oft neglected, but by far the best predictor of success or failure in the Bitcoin space : that channel is where the industry meets. If a purported business is not well represented in there, it is not well
mircea_popescu: it'll be the lulz of all time if d.bpay is the first derp to bite it.
BingoBoingo: How language shapes the form the work is best presented in
BingoBoingo: Funny how that works.
mircea_popescu: but great for theatre
BingoBoingo: Among other things English can be condemned for English is incapable of Opera

mircea_popescu: kinda, yeah. fucking impossible to make poetrywork in nonflexional languages.
BingoBoingo: Usually how translation works
mircea_popescu: i butchered it as far as everything but the imagery is concerned.
undata: mircea_popescu: beautiful imagery in english; I'm sure the sound of it matches in romanian
scoopbot: New post on Trilema by Mircea Popescu: http://trilema.com/2015/the-silver-tusked-boar/
assbot: The silver tusked boar pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1soGMp9 )
ben_vulpes: <benjamindees> [] Just consider that, when Satoshi said "gain a new territory of freedom for several years," he had a reason. Bitcoin is not the end-all-be-all of systems. Mining may not be a long-term solution. But inflation is non-negotiable, regardless. << who are you again?
thestringpuller: nighty night keep your butthole tight!
ben_vulpes: hold on to your butt(coin)s!
thestringpuller: you mean we'll be able to buy planets in the future?
ben_vulpes: <kakobrekla> [] how do other envision the future when reward goes towards 0. either a btc is worth half a planet or the fees amount per block go up a few orders of magnitude or network is dead << little bit of columns a and b
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: don't get abducted. you say such amusing things. (No you don't amuse me like a clown. I do not view you as Joe Pesci)
BingoBoingo: !up asciilifeform Your connection seems iffy today. Is there a van waiting to take you on vacation?
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell hanbot ty, much appreciated
BingoBoingo: !up asciilifeform Your connection seems iffy today. Is there a van waiting to take you on vacation?
mircea_popescu: shit, i'm translating this, it's just too good.
mircea_popescu: http://www.romanianvoice.com/poezii/poezii/mistretul.php << "silver toothed boar"
mircea_popescu: the guy was pretty good, too, stefan augustin doinas.
mircea_popescu: i guess i'm thinking more of stuff like http://jurnalul.ro/special-jurnalul/o-iubire-asa-de-mare-ucide-72900.html
asciilifeform: 'we don't need no minus terminal'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: blown away that the point that an eulogy's job is to illustrate how great the deceased was and how worthless the world by comparison is somehow controversial << their problem is with the second half of the sentence. which is, of course, entirely like disdaining one side of the battery
asciilifeform lives in usa for ~22 yrs but in a kind of cultural bubble, and not entirely certain how much of what he thinks of as civilization, remains intact there
mircea_popescu: never been to a funeral us side.
asciilifeform: was specifically thinking of usa (where the reddit folks likely live)
mircea_popescu: tbh pleb funerals prolly beat fancypants funerals. tho maybe that doesn't hold in fake-usia
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i've been to plenty of great ones.
asciilifeform: those date to at least babylon
BingoBoingo: Except promoted to Eulogies
mircea_popescu: but i mean... they're in literature too.
mircea_popescu: is this because reddit is too young to have given much thought to funerals etc ?
mircea_popescu: in unrelated news, im kinda blown away that the point that an eulogy's job is to illustrate how great the deceased was and how worthless the world by comparison is somehow controversial.
mircea_popescu: ok, you got me there, but still.
asciilifeform: 'why not' isn't quite the same as 'glad i don't have to!'
mircea_popescu: "How much did the Bitcoin Bowl cost? Was it really worth sacrificing nine of your best and brightest?" << heh. once you put it like that, it burns.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu presumably does not say 'glad somebody else is doing this!' when sees gurl being ravished from long way away
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: it's interesting to see some of the derps waking up and exiting the cave.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah but i mean... so it's great, less shit to worry about, someone else;s doing it.
mircea_popescu: "Lets not forget the real paid shills on /r/bitcoin as well. The fuckwits who were paid to spread the usage of 'bit' as a unit. I wonder how much BitPay spent on that one." << that's a kinda funny one. yet another place where derps diverge from mp, derps fail & get burned, derps dun learn.
asciilifeform: why's that annoying you << i have a heuristic for picking lines of inquiry that's heavily weighted against what i know other folks to be doing
mircea_popescu: of course, all this wasn't exactly exceptional in 2002 or w/e.
mircea_popescu: soopermodels.com lol ok, i recall this now.
mircea_popescu: heh i guess that's a point
thestringpuller: http://valleywag.gawker.com/the-bitcoin-broker-and-the-13-year-old-girl-in-the-biki-1563202590 << there we go
mircea_popescu: i thought it was that other derp that got put away for something pedo related
cazalla: mircea_popescu, he's allege to have run a glamourshots business but claimed he was only the cameraman, i dunno the facts tbh
thestringpuller: was technically legal, but sketchy as hell
thestringpuller: man this was months ago
cazalla: actually, i don't know the full story, i think thestringpuller has that
cazalla: he was just the cameraman, what's the problem?!?!
thestringpuller: it's old news tho I thought
thestringpuller: cazalla has da full scoop on that
mircea_popescu: any substance to this "Tony "I Like Underage Girls" Gallippi" angle something awful's pushing ?
thestringpuller: at least gavin's enemies came out of the woodwork...
thestringpuller: can i use karma to buy MPOE?
mircea_popescu: cazalla dude did you people get more reddit comments/votes today than sharesd ?
mircea_popescu: pretty much all browsers/platforms handle that well
undata: I am otherwise totally unoffended by the minimalism
undata: mircea_popescu: yes, but as qntra has what appears to be a fixed pixel width it ends up with rather small fonts on mine
undata: qntra could have a media query to change the width on mobile.. just sayin ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform why's that annoying you ?
asciilifeform annoyed, ^ remarkably similar to an idea he had been chewing on
BingoBoingo: Coindesk for axample is an anus. It looks like it uses Bootstrap (mobile first design turd). I dunno how visual difference between Qntra and an anus is not a net positive.
asciilifeform failed to parse this sentence ^
BingoBoingo: I still doesn't look like one of the many crap spewing anuses pretending to news because of forgoing bootstrap is not a design virtue.
danielpbarron: lol ya, my redditvote made the qntra comment go to the top
cazalla: that is funny considering the timing of the article on trilema other day lol
assbot: um_ya comments on Is Bitpay spending too much? 9 employees were laid off last week. ... ( http://bit.ly/1B8frJJ )
thestringpuller: maybe I'm just not into the dumb blonde type!
mircea_popescu: what, dumb blonde to perfection.
mircea_popescu: but i don't see anyone'd ever want to fuck her.
mircea_popescu: kinda so-so, that one. to have and have not, the big sleep, stuff like that rather.
thestringpuller: damn that's a good movie
hanbot: <mircea_popescu> hanbot i wonder how many of these milktoothed experts of letters and matters even understands what the sockwashing reference is. << is it that bogart-bacall in the desert episode?
undata: I should script auth better instead of doing it by hand like a derp each time.
undata: BingoBoingo: ty sir
BingoBoingo: !up Tiraspol

assbot: BitBet - LTC to top one bitcent before March :: 0.04 B (4%) on Yes, 1.06 B (96%) on No | closing in 1 month 1 week| weight: 93`098 (100`000 to 1) ... ( http://bit.ly/1wNBVdw )
assbot: Bernie Sanders opens a new front in the battle for the future of the Democratic Party - Vox ... ( http://bit.ly/1y1BKzS )
mircea_popescu: i guess that also.
hanbot: judging by the arguments, i'd be surprised if the thing was read beyond the title's first nine words.
mircea_popescu: judging by teh arguments, i guess now.
mircea_popescu: hanbot i wonder how many of these milktoothed experts of letters and matters even understands what the sockwashing reference is.
hanbot: i guess it's more fun to play unobservant psych undergrad than to think.
mircea_popescu: awww, internets no like eulogy talk ?
assbot: "The woman's job is to find a great man (not good, by the way), suck his cock, wash his socks and write his eulogy." Bitcoin thought leader Mircea Popescu enlightens. : Buttcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1y1yuV1 )
