adlai: they have free accounts but you need
to register
adlai wouldn't pay for any such
technology
that couldn't cope with figures in
the
text
adlai: it's also a little nefarious
that
they want registration for any speed outside
their narrow little free zone
assbot: Logged on 30-11-2014 17:39:08; kakobrekla: dont read
this.
adlai: this = CSP? it's a little dense book, been needing an excuse
to read it for a while...
adlai: putting it on a ridiculously high WPM is quite similar
to skimming
kakobrekla: few people produce
texts worth more
than
that
adlai: it's far from ideal, but I can imagine much better ways of integrating
the "spritz" window with a wider view of
the
text (or an outline)
adlai is
too far from
the UI world
to do anything on
this front, but it's a cool idea
adlai: and
today we learned
the origin of his current scam's name!
kakobrekla: so i kinda gave
them a pass on
this
topcoin bs
kakobrekla: anywho i got
those from uniregistry registrar
kakobrekla: As More New GTLDs Launch &
The Marketplace Gets More Competitive, Registries Increasingly Will
Turn
To Promotional Discounts And Registrar Rebate Programs
To Sell More Domain Names.
The Problem With Discounts Is
That
They Devalue Your String, And
The Problem With Rebates Is
They Often Are Not Passed On
To Registrants.
kakobrekla: Why Offer
Topcoin Instead Of A Rebate Or Coupon Code?
mircea_popescu: lmao so what exactly is going on in
the brain of
the link people ?
kakobrekla got
topcoin when he bought b-a.link lel.
kakobrekla: yes
topcoin. some fake crypto currency pegged (?)
to a dollar at some registrars.
they give it away for free.
PinkPosixPXE: irc.b-a.link would probably be acceptable, subdomain it. unless you don't want
to for some reason.
mircea_popescu: people were doing
that on myspace, coupla years or so before it ended
kakobrekla: interestingly, 'bitcoin-assets' non .com
tlds got squated a week after i registered .com
PinkPosixPXE: twitter handles are becoming
the new domain names
to 'camp' on and resell
mircea_popescu: "Still, with a small $10 registration fee, and
the fact
that I need fodder for
this blog, I decided
to venture out and
try my luck with .link. Of
the 11 I found available, I decided
that only six were really worth
the gamble."
mircea_popescu: nobody is ever going
to give a shit about a domain name enough
to pay for it.
assbot: I finally registered a new
TLD. Here is
the (long) story. | Domain Name Wire | Domain Name News & Views ... (
http://bit.ly/129sltw )
kakobrekla: even at 10-20
they pick up a lot of
them
to squat on
mircea_popescu: myeah with all
the new
tlds i expect per domain registration
to drop around $1
assbot: Search
the #bitcoin-assets log
kakobrekla: can i get a
TA opinion kthx. < new year is close.
PinkPosixPXE: The stats look great, for a nice straight forward numerical
trending display
PinkPosixPXE: he's
tiny, if i
tried
to jog him around a
track he'd be exhausted 1/4 of
the way
through
mod6: ;;later
tell PinkPosixPXE check PM
PinkPosixPXE: perhaps with my friends come over
tonight
to have
treats, cider, and hang out by
the fire/watch something, I will
throw
this on :)
PinkPosixPXE: actually, haha, I
think I have seen
this, wow, I have
to watch
this again
mircea_popescu: in no case anything like "an immense horde of absolutely nil idiots expect everyone
to believe
the world exists
to serve
them"
mircea_popescu: and if you make a business, you didn't make
that business. and really
the political problems of
the us are whether black dudes pee correctly and how someone drew a cartoon character's
tits.
mircea_popescu: "I
think you make an excellent point, but all
these cases are examples of guys who got a seat on a rocket and were pretty ruthless about who else got
to ride."
mircea_popescu: it
takes astute practical
thinkers like
the buffett of
the 70s and
turns
them into "i believe in america and carbon
tax credits!" sort of al gore marionette.
mircea_popescu: it
takes a graham as he was in
the 80s and produces
the barely cognizant empty shell
that will make junior-high level errors in his ill
thought out essays.
mircea_popescu: jesus
the sort of brainrot. see kids, i have another reason
to crack down on socialism, and an additional argument
to use when I do : socialism makes you stupid.
mircea_popescu: so wait,
the "gilded age financiers" DIDNT create
the railroad monopolies ?
mircea_popescu: ahahaha
this is
the lulziest bit of
the entire senile-graham wankfest.
mircea_popescu: "[3] Peter
Thiel would point out
that successful founders still get rich from controlling monopolies, just monopolies
they create rather
than ones
they capture. And while
this is largely
true, it means a big change in
the sort of person who wins."
decimation: well, it seems like
the ddoser has
taught us
that aws is pretty solid
punkman: nah, I'll put it on my DO account so I don't have
to bother anyone
decimation: ben_vulpes: did you
try one of
those 'vultr' vpses?
punkman: I'll split up
the web part
punkman: but if you wanna setup secure box for
the IRC bot part,
that'd be welcome
punkman: need
to write new code, got
time
to work on it
today
decimation: 'mericans only have
time
to make money, not enjoy it
ben_vulpes is ignorant of all
the finer
things in life
ben_vulpes: doesn't lead crystal risk dosing
the users with lead?
punkman: I got a set or
two,
they usually survive small falls
ben_vulpes: subject of crystal, i was washing one out
this evening and it struck me how fragile all of civilization is.
take
that glass - wash it in water
too warm or
too hot or switch
the
temperature
too abruptly and
the
thing will whine and fall apart in your hands.
decimation: where one carefully condemns
the horrible behavior of white cops while studiously ignoring
the horrible behavior of black 'civilians'
mircea_popescu: because socialism always moves on
to
the cheaper alternative,
this being
the
true definition of progress. "where your dad had crystal glasses and imported liqueurs, you now get asphalt under
the elements and a half-dung joint"
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> i'm sure it was a good
time for all involved. joints, flasks, conversation
that all agreed on important
topics... << notice what
the cocktail party of
the 70s has
turned into.
mircea_popescu: the only
thing here is
that
the opinions of
the idjits don't actually count
tho.
