mircea_popescu: (anyway, lest the esl reader acquires the wrong impression from the logs - at issue is not that the thing was done, per se. at issue is HOW the thing is done. which is to say : shockingly unexpected, which requires a) a large body of work against which to expect pre-existend and b) a language strong enough to shock against that. these are plain impossible requisites in "reasonable" languages, and they can'

t find me in the WoT
Belxjander: I'm in the middle of moving so don'
t really have time to mess with everything until after getting network access sorted at the new place
mircea_popescu: because it's dunning-kruger all through. the dumbass who sucks at life can'
t correctly evaluate wqhat the people better than him are doing so they ARE better than him. and so he doesn'
t understand why they get promoted and laid.
gernika: pete_dushenski: cool. I think my problem with Rao now is that he bases the Gervaise Principle off of The Office which was written by kids like B.J. Novak - and how the hell does he know anything about what executives do? He may, I just don'
t see how he got the knowledge.
mircea_popescu: gernika are you like, the most well read of us on the people we don'

decimation: asciilifeform: since you already have a record of paying taxes you can'
t fake disability
decimation: didn'
t last psychiatrist have a post about what is needed to 'prove' you are 'poor'? like no job, ever?
decimation: if nursing home, doctor, real estate - had to be paid for in gold that couldn'
t be magicked into existance, the prices would change rapidly...
decimation: but to connect with your point, clearly as long as you are wholly owned by usg, doing business in its monopoly money, don'
t be surprised when 'it giveth and taketh away'

mircea_popescu: "In spit of these events, we hope that CT will be able to continue pursuing its strategic of increasing it’s market share and become the one-stop news source for the crypto-community. We wish you to remain strong in spirit and for a quick market recovery." << i suppose the tie-in is something like "small blocks made our shit blog ad revenue shrink in an imaginary market that doesn'

Xplosionist: Ahh. Okay. Clearly I didn'
t read it carefully enough. Although, I would suggest that making that detail more obvious might be of value.
Xplosionist: Yeah, the transactions don'
