mircea_popescu: i knew a number of chicks
that got divorced while owning a one room apartment with hubby, so put a curtain down
the middle.
Adlai: look at
their domains.
they get divorced and cut
the house in half?
mircea_popescu: "Erin Pavlina is a highly gifted intuitive counselor who connects with your spirit guides
to provide you information and insights
that will help you on your path. "
mircea_popescu: if normalcy is convenient
then wtf was he doing anyway
Adlai: this is
the only instance i've found of somebody claiming
to pull
this off properly, and
then return
to "normal" just for convenience
mircea_popescu: is
this
the guy
that's married
to
the beached whale spiritualist ?
Adlai: you read enough of his nonsense and you'll find a bit of sense, but
the SNR is woefully low
Adlai: ok,
true. how about: "the steve pavlinas of
the world"
mircea_popescu: Adlai it's much simpler
than
that. confine
three people in a space, notice
they will
talk.
the stuff
they
talk about is unimportant,
to
them and everyone else.
Adlai: what's
the financial incentive
to paint
these graphs? somebody must be subsidizing for companies
to compete over it, even if it's just inadvertent subsidizing by clueless VC bagholders
mircea_popescu: holy shit
the chinese actually understand why chinese women are ugly ?!
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well I
thought
that one of
the
timecube's essential points.
mircea_popescu: nonsense has
this blessed ability
to carry an infinite number of front pages.
Adlai: well
they're already
the frontpage of nonsense :)
mircea_popescu: so in
this sense,
they wish
to be
the biggest provider of obsolete nonsense
to
the new world of novel nonsense.
Adlai: meanwhile it'll be fun
to see how
they conjure up an insecure security
mircea_popescu: or just like a ceo stands in front of
the same holy line, supposedly his performance somewhere in
therer.
Adlai: that race is only worth watching if
there are some real captains of industry bidding on
the fastest horse
mircea_popescu: sort-of like obama sitting in front of a line angled from
the bottom left
to
the upper right, for no particular reason,
that "represents"
the "people", neither quoted symbols meaningful
to any degree.
mircea_popescu: what i
thought you meant was : 1. people will make up numbers, irrespective of any reality, because it's what people do ; 2.
those numbers will be put on an arbitrary graph ; 3.
there will be a race
to pretend meaning out of
this meaningless combo. which race we call "painting
the graph"
Adlai: "coloring" is probably
the wrong word for
this:
turning
the bitcoin
transaction/address graph into a bitcoin
transaction/[corporate]person graph
mircea_popescu: they're
trying
to be
the biggest pony express company
this side of
the railroad, because such is
the way
things go.
Adlai: dunno. seems
to me like
they're just
trying
to get
their edge in
the graph-coloring race, in whatever way seems opportune right now. not saying anything about
the likelihood of any individual participant
to come out ahead, but
there is a race and somebody will be winning it.
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: You just don't know how
the world works!!!
thestringpuller: it's funny how reddit consistently can't pay bills due
to more users using it...
mircea_popescu: pigs could fly if only
they batted
their ears fast enough!
mircea_popescu: these
theoretical potentials, you know ? men could breastfeed if
they leveraged
their boobs.
Adlai: s/will/could potentially, should
they properly leverage
their position etcetcblabla/
Adlai: they wouldn't be making money off
the amount of wealth
transfered,
though.
they'd be making money per successful ad
targeting.
mircea_popescu: this is like saying
that
the spanish empire could be quite profitable if "it increases"
the number of jews inhabiting it. for one
thing, it's not
the empire increasing it, for
the other,
they'll fuck it up
Adlai: reddit will be rather profitable if
they can increase by an order of magnitude
the number of casual bitcoin dabblers, while watching
their every breath, move, bond, and step
thestringpuller: dunno if reddit will ever be profitable long
term. it's like borderline derp
Adlai: the fuckup fairy loves a
threesome
mircea_popescu: Adlai if anything it'd be s.advc or something. except
they're insulated iirc, so...
Adlai: how about "F.NAST", evoking both
the corporate relative, and
the place's general smell
mircea_popescu: jurov any chance reddit will get DERPified? << mebbe, i'dhave
to look into it. if it does it won't be
this year.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I left an easter egg in
the article for asciilifeform
fluffypony: someone should change
the default ircd builds on gentoo
to include a spam filter
davout: "Luke-Jr has left IRC (Excess Flood)" <<<
the irony
assbot: Captive orangutan Sandra has human right
to freedom, Argentine court rules - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) ... (
http://bit.ly/13vjqTj )
undata: the picture demonstrates how happy
the white people are for
the indigenous
antonosika__: I got a new setup so I'm fixing my auth.
Thx for up:ing me
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu is on vacation
things haven't been going
too poorly
antonosika__: People losing interest over
the bitcoin price?
antonosika__: Is
there a short summary of what has happend
the last few months?
thestringpuller: 402 with bitcoin address
that resolves
to 200 once payment is paid is neat as part of paywall.
thestringpuller: People get annoyed enough as is with
the whole auto-payment stuff
that happens with itunes "da autorenewal".
thestringpuller: I guess depends on what wallet you attach it
to for "automated payment".
fluffypony: and
the Chrome plugin
traps
that header and makes
the payment
fluffypony: the page showing
the payment screen contains a 402 header in addition
to
the page
cazalla: thestringpuller, when he's 18, legal age here, not 21 like
the states, we start em young enough here as it is
fluffypony: thestringpuller: what's lol about
that? reasonable use of an unused HTTP code, and I don't
think
that
there's anything wrong with
the plugin
they've developed
☟︎ cazalla: thestringpuller, i'm not willing
to share my booze
BingoBoingo: Come on, don't get
the kid started
too early
thestringpuller: can't you put whiskey on
the kids gums
to prevent him from crying due
to
teething
cazalla: i know eh, it was amusing
to see qntra name
there
cazalla: almost 6pm, just
teething kid wears you down
BingoBoingo: That cop doesn't have much
time left at all
cazalla: really needs
to be renamed black man execute cops but we've had one of
them past few days
cazalla: black man has 14 pieces left, i
think not
fluffypony: cop sacrificed his queen
to put his opponent in a vulnerable positio
cazalla: pretty racist
to suggest black man is losing simply because black
