assbot: Logged on 07-01-2015 19:12:27; mircea_popescu: i guess ima have
to bring an exchange online willy-nilly.
davout: i'd word
the bet "there exists a block > 1m, building on main net, with block index <= ARBITRARY_TRESHOLD ,
that gets more
than 2016 confirmations, in less
than a month"
☟︎ davout: thestringpuller: you can hardly resolve 'never launched', you may be able
to decide whether something was active at some date
assbot: Jackson Palmer: I created $20m Dogecoin phenomenon and all I have
to show for it is a jar of Nutella ... (

BingoBoingo: Germany only wishes
the EU could be so lopsided
BingoBoingo: I mean
the US has its own bizzaro EU with Microneia,
the Marshall Islands, and Palau
BingoBoingo: Prolly easier
to count
they ways USia is compliant
than deviant
BingoBoingo: Just weird digging into
the ways
the US really is rogue.
BingoBoingo: If not always in
the
treaty
text, often in
the national laws of counterparty states reciprocity is mandated.
BingoBoingo: So actual mindfuck. Many of
the
treaties offering USians Visa free
travel... demand
the US reciprocate...
BingoBoingo: $500k for sponsorhips rights alone.
The rest of
the marketing all came with other costs.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i forget, what was
the bitcoin bowl
thing cost ?
BingoBoingo: It's mostly just a mind fuck documenting
the behavior of a gravity well from a non-astronomical perspective.
BingoBoingo: Sample preview sentence: While most civilized states merely require proof of onward
travel in a form as simple as a plane
ticket
to a destination outside of
their borders, United States consulates in making determinations however evaluate applicants "holistically" with an emphasis not on forward
travel for potential visitors, but on return specifically
to
their country of residence.
mircea_popescu: "That's quite publicity for MP for a mere 5 BTC (he owns half bitbet), maybe less. (It's obvious
that bitcoin will go up faster, so not many will bet no)"

BingoBoingo: Well. Working on getting
this one right considering it may be applicable
to my own plan
to escape
the moon by stacking chairs.
BingoBoingo: Organizing it is still
the problem being wrestled with. Elbow deep in
the horse rectum of 'Murican emigration law and hand's feeling numb because
that sphincter is
tight like East Germany's was.
BingoBoingo swears a piece on Roger Ver and American emigration law is indeed coming. Looking like it will be
the biggest
turd I've dropped into qntra's bowl so far.
BingoBoingo: Well, coinfire keeps
talking about every new wound
that emerges as it bleeds out.
BingoBoingo: To be fair unlike qntra coinfire keeps poking
that dead
thing instead of
trying
to respect
the only enough bullets
to kill it rule.
mircea_popescu: lulzy anyway. cazalla pops
their bubble,
they go kill some dude in indiana ?
BingoBoingo: Their problem is
they lack an effective prophet of doom like
the one we maintain in danielpbarron
mircea_popescu: lmao wait, garza's scamcoin now has an army on
top of all
the other
things it doesn't have ?

[]bot: Bet placed: 1 BTC for No on "Cardano
to Ship in 2015"
http://bitbet.us/bet/1100/ Odds: 5(Y):95(N) by coin, 5(Y):95(N) by weight.
Total bet: 1.1 BTC. Current weight: 99,997.
BingoBoingo: Yeah. Also successful enough
to bury its blueprints within our own almsot universally.
mircea_popescu: more like it's one of
those viruses for which
the capsid plays so many functions, it's not really anything without it
BingoBoingo suspects dead virus "chicken pox" vaccine isn't possible without
triggering serious autoimmune issues. Herpes is in our DNA.

mircea_popescu: there's no intrinsic quality
that makes a
text string "science". it's
the signature on it. a repository of anon derpage can be an encyclopedia like a pile of ascari lumbricoides can be my wife.
mircea_popescu: then people want
to know why retardopedia is not a source of information.
this is why. because in
the mouths of
the stupid, even good sense loses itself.
mircea_popescu: not by humans. and it doesn't properly fit allogenic succession definition, but because, like
the putative anthropogenic climate change
that allegedly is being prevented by
that dumb
teenager in
the snow up in
the log, is caused by fucking living
things.
mircea_popescu: totally. except
the only climate change documented
to date is caused BY FUCKING BACTERIA
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> if
that's not
the 3rd millenium united states i have no idea what is. << Well also
the part where
the only chance most USians have
to gape in awe at a golden
toilet is at
the doctor's (or increasingly almost doctor's)
mircea_popescu: if
that's not
the 3rd millenium united states i have no idea what is.
BingoBoingo: I mean shingles is
the perfect disease
that hurts bad without
threatening life.
mircea_popescu: vaccine doesn't work, but
that's ok, because
the
thing it "protects " against doesn't really happen.
mircea_popescu: and
then let's sell a vaccine for it. which is a shitload more expensive
than a useful one, like
the polio one.
mircea_popescu: this is perhaps
the best example of bs. first off, idiot us derps are more affraid of pain
than anytihng. so let's create
this fantastic disease which CAN HURT REALLY BAD
BingoBoingo: Well, it is one of
those cases where what works for polio does not work for
the more beneign herpes zoster.
mircea_popescu: but, just like in
the case of shittywood and so on,
the actual creatives get 1.5% and
tjhey gotta be in a union for
that even.
mircea_popescu: and i fat least all
this embezzled money went into research, you know ? all
the idiots
that gave
themselves zona zooster because "medicine" and "Science" could at least serve humanity.
BingoBoingo: Well, live virus vaccine and Elderly patients are circles you don't want
touching on a Venn Diagram anyways.
mircea_popescu: anyway, "got shingles from
the merck vaccine ? O ITS JUS
TAN ALLERGIC REACTION WILL GO AWAY"
mircea_popescu: speaking of horrible us pharma crapola
that's ended up giving vaccines a bad name in
the us, and
the people who (properly!) refuse vaccination now get
to be depicted as redneck savages because o noes, vaccines are great (they would be, and
they were before us companies got involved) :
assbot: Logged on 23-12-2014 19:47:34; mircea_popescu: re
the entire grubles/bitvps
thing :
the listing was discussed for a while, in a public channel. grubles was
there, and not only represented himself in agreement, but represented rg as
the owner of
the
thing.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Right. Example of inept "failed
to success" HQ crowd
mircea_popescu: if anything
that delivery is
the explanation of why
the fuck
the call was even necessary.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the reason
they pushed for lowering inventory is probably exactly
the fact
that
they keep ending up with shit
that doesn'tsell because it expires.
mircea_popescu: zostavax is notorious for being
the main source of shingles in
the us, but
that's another story.
mircea_popescu: that's why
the shop exists. if it doesn't do
that, it can dangle.
mircea_popescu: that's not how business works.
the shop is in
the business of solving hq's problems. all of
them.
mircea_popescu: i suppose
the error is
the bizarre notion
that headquarters is in
the business of doing
the shop's job, only
they have better
tools ?
BingoBoingo: Well, Zostavax is notorious for being used infrequently
to never.
mircea_popescu: the
two are unrelated
tho.
they had some shit about
to expire. of coruse it gets sent out.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Was
told
to cut $$$ value of inventory, was sent a bunch of expensive about
to expire.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Broken link in
that latest post
nanotube: gribble should be coming back any
time now.
BingoBoingo: Trying
to catch AIDs for
the welfare is apparently actually a subculture.
mircea_popescu: (bum goes
to donate blood. "do you have aids ?" "no. do you ?" "actually... yes." "gimme
two.")
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Maybe?
Then again I don't have a community college degree. Maybe I should stick around in
the US just long enough
to get an Obama degree.
assbot: The gasps
then changed
to cheers and applause.
assbot: "You have
to be careful about drinking around me," Cosby just said
to a woman in
the crowd. Loud gasps from
the audience.
blazeme8: ooohh

thing from bitcoin-otc
