bounce: but then, selling a totally complex fancy buzzword-laden magic (voice or otherwise) box counts
as "innovation", whereas installing a mail client with decent gpg support does not.
mircea_popescu: stuff here is not nearly
as falsifiable
as the "trustworthy" phonecall.
mircea_popescu: wyrdmantis it is a very shitty spot to be in, running one of those, because the shitcoins are often badly written, such
as was the case with xrp.
mircea_popescu: maybe you do that after it gets hacked,
as punishment.
mircea_popescu: but just

assbot: admin.ch - Federal Council publishes report on virtual currencies such

Adlai: any o yall believe trustless currency via proof of work was invented
as a tool for tracking rather than liberation?
ben_vulpes: ofc i have to book the withdrawal
as "profit", but...
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: pay with cash, get discount
as merchants don't report cash intake and don't pay cc processing fees.
ben_vulpes: decimation: more likely to run a tab with your local providers,
as I do.
decimation: one wonders if usg didn't pressure corning
as part of the 'war on useful objects' err 'war on drugs'
decimation: "
As a result, the drug trade needed to find another way to obtain borosilicate glass. The unintended consequence of World Kitchen’s switch? An uptick in theft from an unlikely place.
As PopSci so eloquently notes, “[the crack-making] industry was forced to switch from measuring cups purchased at Walmart to test tubes and beakers stolen from labs.”"
ben_vulpes: decimation: so
as to not just crack when over-stressed, but to rupture catastrophically!
ben_vulpes: half the time it's entirely on purpose,
as the thing was never built for use outside delicate programmer hands.
mircea_popescu: costs you just
as much to put them there
as anywhere else
mircea_popescu: most english
as a single language kids i meet aren't adults at 30.
BingoBoingo: <Adlai> that only tests "intelligence"

Adlai: that only tests "intelligence"
as it relates to the types of "math" in your test
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform

as i recall the better studies were done by the russians, measuring eye movements
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: IQ isn't all physiology, ie, genetics. Your iq is in part dependent on your epileptics. So, yes, "there’s a lot to the functioning of the brain that’s purely cultural, and thus ethnic" but that "black kids immersed into white culture could in principle get the same IQ measurements
as white kids" does not follow. Blacks have smaller brains and lower iq because of their genetics - placing them in a
diametric: asciilifeform: it kind of surprises me. if anything, i feel
as though the media, and in part the usg, is making ebola sound way more serious in order to keep people in a state of panic. and you're falling right for it.
The20YearIRCloud: It's high in the US too, the difference is here it's not
as liekly transmissable, nor
as lethal, and there's extreme economic incentive to prevent or treat it
decimation: "Washington didn’t micro-manage American Samoa, not being all that interested. A policy of benign neglect was interpreted by Poyer
as an opportunity to act on his best judgment, in the finest traditions of the US Navy. He imposed quarantine. That was harder that it sounds, because of the frequent family visits between West Samoa and American Samoa – but Poyer also had the support of the local chiefs, who understood how
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: (no, it’s not all physiology, there’s a lot to the functioning of the brain that’s purely cultural, and thus ethnic, and thus sure black kids immersed into white culture could in principle get the same IQ measurements
as white kids while black kids from Africa or the ghetto never will) << lolno.
mats_cd03: my brain keeps parsing S.QNTR
as squinter
decimation: in the us, wielding the stick is generally banned,
as is wielding wet noodles or signs that say 'stick'
mircea_popescu: if you're going to put up with parenting level bullshit you might
as well answer one of those "will rent for cocksucking" craigslist ads.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> larval cycle where you are supported by external wires (parents, student debt, etc.) << clearly spending your own money
as you see fit should be a better position than begging mom/govt. so if that's what it is then... yeah, waste it. it sucks.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> or is there a set of staff authors ... ? << set
as in brothel. anyone can submit for an audition
cazalla: if anything it will act
as motivation for them to contribute a lot of quality content and possibly earn more than they would have by publishing it elsewhere
cazalla: they
as in anyone that wants to contribute to the site and earn equity
BingoBoingo: Well, writing sample
as audition seems like a solid process
mircea_popescu: provided he's given peashooters
as a kid and encouraged to shoot himself till he gets tired of it.
Adlai: it seems
as though all the software is in place, and this is obviously a feature that the average trader loves to use
kakobrekla:
as for the infrastructure - i am quite confident they have less than half of what they had a year ago
Adlai: background: bitfinex created a cloud mining contract for a fixed time period, so its value *should* continuously decrease... but by making it possible to trade and loan
as margin, they've created quite a bizarre asset which has everybody in the forums and reddit screaming about manipulation now
xanthyos: i meant for it to all paste
as one line
thickasthieves: if coinbiz.io raises $1b in venture capital and releases a press release informing the world, some bitcoiners might be interested in that

as something related to the size of your britches anyway
xanthyos: water riders are responsible for their own life vests just
as road riders are responsible for helmets
assbot: Zooey Deschanel misidentified

mircea_popescu: but i tell you he coulda said it about buenos aires, comuna 1 just
as well
mircea_popescu: so cash went "On a Sunday morning sidewalk, I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned. 'Cause there's something in a Sunday that makes the body feel alone. And there's nothing short a' dying that's half
as lonesome
as the sound of the sleeping city sidewalk and Sunday morning coming down."
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03: my understanding of the digest system is shallow, and i've been hesitant to do any serious filtering in the event i miss something <<< in computers generally, understood
as the php-machine (ie, text processing, the actual porn that drove early computing), this approach has proven flawed. it is more effectual and more efficient to make a set of filters that delivers *something* and then make more passes with
mircea_popescu: not, obviously, publish for the links. but, plenty of people in the speaking business have books they're trying to push, it'll be pretty hard to keep them out
as the site grows.
cazalla: righto, i'll just dump anything that might be perceived
as an aff link
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't really go that far. let them be,
as long
as they're worth linking they're worth linking.
mircea_popescu: that's a complicated discussion. maybe. on the other hand, plenty of people are put off by seeing amazon/ebay links, makes them mentally dioscount the whole page/site
as "one of those"
mircea_popescu: well
as a general policy, links to stuff like that (amazon, ebay, artist's own ecommerce site, etc) either hapen through an aff link and income is then reported or don't happen
mircea_popescu: cazalla The book is available to purchase
as a paperback via Amazon India or via Amazon Kindle << are those qntra's amazon links ? ie, you make comission ?

mircea_popescu: "It isn't just amateurs who use hydrogen peroxide in rocketry, and unfortunately some of the professionals have to "roll their own"
as well. The only remaining supplier for rocket-grade peroxide (in the US at least) has a policy of only selling to government contractors."
mircea_popescu: right, because they're here on a legitimate business purpose such
as to study o.O
mircea_popescu: in fairness, the thing is designed to be able to "sleep" with two women, but a) women doing it in pairs don't tend to be
as bulky

kakobrekla: CM was described
as a "virtual company” by LTC-Global (and accordingly referred to
as such in the CM Business Plan). However,
as a matter of English law, CM may be considered a general partnership. If that is the case, then the 'shareholders' of CM - which includes yourself - would all be considered partners.
As partners, they would all be jointly and severally liable for CM's debts, including the 'Bond'. It is therefore possible tha

as news.
gabriel_laddel: thestringpuller: I suppose if you're following the D3 example you provided it makes little difference

thestringpuller: then it'll get more functionality
as people demand it etc.
