mircea_popescu: cazalla: dwolla is a name
that seemed
to jump
the shark for web 2.0 names <<< just about when "cutesy" died.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
The pando editor is joining
the derps because he author was called out for being right in every way.
mircea_popescu: from
the new york
times
to
the guardian
to basically facebook pages.
mircea_popescu: it is very altcoin-scammy in its development i gotta grant you
that.
BingoBoingo: Not even countable in
their insignificance
BingoBoingo: Just
the continuing shrinking drama, is ripples
mircea_popescu: i mean, guardian was lulzy enough with its pretense
to relevancy. but pando for crissakes ?
BingoBoingo: Just noise on
the surface of
the water. Snowden was a wave.
mircea_popescu: no such
thing exists.
tor is and was a usg hole long before pando sort-of read it in
trilema. etc.
mircea_popescu: lol srsly all
this
thrid wave us socialist press attempts
to reduce
the discussion
to
their categories.
Vexual: put a keyboard anywhere near
the
thing you'll need a drink
Vexual: I've always
thought
those nintendo famicons were designed
to mould future alcoholic salarymen
BingoBoingo: Not
that cheese isn't great or
that sour milk products don't matter.
That a cow matters in a revolution.
mircea_popescu: i mean... it's
there, plain as day. "we don't do anything useful anyway".
mircea_popescu: it occurs
to me,
the entire "we would have fired some guy
that doesn't even actually work for us because he wouldn't clog up
the pull
tree with documentation-gender-improvements" is quite positive proof nobody has any actual work
to do.
assbot: Uplifted by massive numbers who marched peacefully
today in /hashtag/Oakland?src=hash,
then disheartened again when it
turns
to smashy. /hashtag/MessageDiluted?src=hash
decimation: ibm being
too stupid
to keeps its monopoly
decimation: yeah
tramiel was commodore, when he left
the
thing
tanked. it's a shame,
they had a real shot at being an 'alternative'
to intel
BingoBoingo: Sure, but is
there a more ill
thought out field
than car naming is USia?
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> heavily used and many years old already when we bought it. << Same for me and
the wagon full of Macs
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform>
the machine of roughly
the same period as nes but with 'adult' i/o was 'commodore 64.' << Immature criticism, but not everyone likes semen
decimation: apparently commodore used
to make its own chips, in its own fab facility
decimation: I missed out on
that generation, my first computer was an x86 a few years later
decimation: it would be mildly amusing
to play with
the nes BASIC cartridge
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Ah, it fails on
those rules. It wins
though on being known and documented.
decimation: I
think
the japanese versions of
the nes had keyboards if I recall
cazalla: mouse for mario paint,
that count?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Of course. NES is a brick, but people still program for it because it offers
the
thigns you value.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
The sad
think is plenty of people fit
that mold... for
the NES!
decimation: mats,
the issue is explained in ascii's "bedrock" essay
decimation: yeah, I understand,
the
terminology is ambiguous
decimation: asciilifeform: I
think
the impulse for 'defense in depth' is a good one,
the problem is
that it simply isn't possible on
the von neumann machine
decimation: so
the S&P500 fell ~4%
this week because oil is getting cheaper, even for companies
that would obviously benefit
BingoBoingo: cazalla: I did, but I'm not sure what
that means in new pokemon. I know it exists. Not
to what extent.
cazalla: <BingoBoingo> badon: How does collecting
the shinies go? <<<
thought BingoBoingo made a pokemon reference for a moment
badon: I suppose bitcoin would qualify now
too, but Idon't have any.
badon: I just hoard it when it's cheap, and stop buying when it's expensive or
there's a shortage.
badon: No, I eat
the food.
badon: For more money,
then I start looking
toward
the rare coins.
BingoBoingo: That confuses me. SO you've bought a bunch of sausage, but never
tasted
the delicious pork in itself?
badon: Although gold is very liquid, for
the amounts of money I
typically deal with, I prefer food and cash instead.
badon: This is important
though, because I've got predictive powah.
badon: Dang, not enough
time for everything.
BingoBoingo: It's amazing
though how much people complain about
tungsten filled bars and yet
the value of
tungsten endures.
badon: I need
to write another article.
badon: Inflation has been
too low.
BingoBoingo: I also got fucked in 2013
trading BTC for Silver.
BingoBoingo: I have
the most sparkling asshole
to
this day.
badon: Yeah, I avoided rhodium, it was far
too expensive.
badon: I'm considering buying silver bullion for
the first
time since 2008.
badon: BingoBoingo: I
think
the way it's going
to go
this
time around is exactly
the same as every other
time. First,
the precious metals will move (they're dirt cheap now),
then
the coins.
BingoBoingo: badon: How does collecting
the shinies go?
BingoBoingo: The story of rules is finding common enemies or allies and
then applying leverage by derping loudly in numbers until people neglect history.
BingoBoingo: undata: Or managed ally. Anything
to open
the faucet.
BingoBoingo: undata:
There can be plenty ask Lockheed Martin and how much
they've made
this decade.
cazalla: dwolla is a name
that seemed
to jump
the shark for web 2.0 names
undata: or have I missed
the point?
undata: BingoBoingo: what is
the strategy behind creating a "jews" and
then
turning
them into your friend?
decimation: well,
the nyt story and his website mention nothing about bitcoin, so he's just an anklebiter
BingoBoingo: undata:
The
thing is enemies differ. Flu virus is a different enemy
than Saddam is a different enemy
than a mugger. In
the cases of
the latter
two either could be
turned friend. If either was
turned friend
that value of each differs on orders of magnitude.
undata: BingoBoingo:
this "creating an external enemy"
tactic is a classic move.
BingoBoingo: decimation: Similarly because
the people who made
the Dwolla Gox-USD portal live in Iowa, Dwolla now lives off of Iowa state payments.
BingoBoingo: To
think. If Poland would have just
taken Shitcago by force we could have avoided
this Obola
thing.
BingoBoingo: And both
the Daileys and Polaks were sated
BingoBoingo: The "Rules for Radicals" consists of nothing more or less
than how
to scare
the Dailey family into realizing it isn't all poor people who are a
threat, just
the black ones.
BingoBoingo: The "rules" achieved mass publication because
they served an interest.
undata: BingoBoingo:
this is how you get poor people yelling "yes we can!" ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well, notice where
the rules came from, Shitcago.
