qq1932: los pantalones - I'm afraid nobody has self-qualified
as yes to this, so it is not.
qq1932: Would anyone else self-qualify
as yes to my question?
mircea_popescu: now they're all going about calling each other sir and acting
as if they're fucking people. it's a sickening display.
qq1932: mircea_popescu: I don't know how else to put this. I want to pitch just someone who has the level of physics understanding that they would have understood and funded the Watt engine (
as an IP play, which is what it was) in 1700 (70 years early.)
qq1932: mircea_popescu: I realize that you have self-qualified above with "no". I do not want to convince you based on appeals to authority, collaborators, third-party things, etc. This is a suitable partnership with someone who would self-qualify
as 'yes' to the above question. Thank you however.
mircea_popescu: you are not in the position to even remotely
as a joke consider anything but slavish 100% dedication 16 hours a day with no sundays
qq1932: mircea_popescu: there is no "secret" component to this, I don't need to hold anything back. Of course, that only matters to those self-qualifying
as having enough understnading to discriminate between the Watt's steam engine 70 years early (1700) and snake oil.
qq1932: mircea_popescu: this means, however, that I am at liberty to share 100% of it within hte limits of what IP law permits (
as this is a licensing play, like Watt's engine).
qq1932: Basically, I agree with you. At any rate anyone who is interested in hearing in this needs to self-qualify
as having enough understanding of basic high-school physics that they actually could have understood the Watt steam engine 70 years early, if Watt had described it. If you self-qualify (it sounds, mircea_popescu, that your answer is no) we can discuss. This is a totally discretionary project.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, the time honored tradition of con artistry is to flatter people who are too stupid to understand how stupid they are by making this confusion, between "highschool understanding"
as required to understand well known and widely understood topics, and extremely advanced fundamental understanding required to understand similarly just
as simple, but not widely known topics.
mircea_popescu: qq1932 dude, there's a major difference between "highschool understanding" of any topic and fundamental understanding of such outstanding quality
as to recognise fundamentally correct but contemporaneously obscure advances.
qq1932: Note that energy is a RIPE field for actual scams. This is open to someone self-qualifying
as having enough basic high-school physics understanding to see the distinction.
qq1932: There is no spam here. I have a remarkable discretionary project. It is open to people who self-qualify
as understnading enough high-school physics that, for example, they could have understood the steam engine in 1500. (Or the Watt engine in 1700, 70 years earlier.)
mircea_popescu: the interface is called interface for a reason, and to specify it
as part of the product is akin to the peacock coming with a set of eyes to look at it with.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: There probably a label used for that condition somewhere in the USG, something
as an analogue to the soviet "Slowly Progressing Schizophrenia"
mircea_popescu: "Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history -- which is no doubt true -- but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a war-time economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known
as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Am

as it might be, i dont think a nice package ever hurt a good product?
mircea_popescu:
as opposed to blood brothers, people that did this bizarre knifeplay thing in adolescence
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, those are the people who suckled the same teat
as infants.
kakobrekla: but seriously, its cheap, for the masses
as they stupidly want.
assbot: Speaking live in about an hour at MIT
http://t.co/qJ1lq7q7Pv, as the first event to introduce the lucky undergrads to their $100 of bitcoin
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: he is apparently speaking at MIT
as an expert and giving away prizes to the freshman...
pete_dushenski: ThickAsThieves:
as so many samsungtards have already discovered
kakobrekla: china is very different. so same tricks do not work
as on mericans.
ThickAsThieves: oh i wasnt meaning to comment on that aspect so much
as that i think it's no biggie to have 2 or 3 sizes avail
pete_dushenski: then apple recognized its competition
as such, rather than
as inferior pretenders, and it's been downhill since
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: the original 'salami slicer' thief, if i recall, stole the rounding error at a large bank. <<
as seen in canonical movie "office space" (1999(

as big a difference
as bush and obama.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: i can't fucking believe scientificamerican seriously is advocating making tanks run windows. << i read this
as "building tanks with windows for looking out of." funnily, they may just replace seeing windows with mircoderp windows
mircea_popescu: it was one of those bright engineering ideas what does in fact work
as intended, but causes such a pile of unintended consequences
as to wipe out any benefit.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla well completion of ipo
as in, them selling.
kakobrekla: 3. (f)Of the remainder 5`000`000 (five million) shares, 3`000`000 (three million) will be used

mircea_popescu: decimation: when I was a boy scout in my youth I went hiking up in Philmont in northern new mexico - they told horror stories << re retarded human shamans : here they tell horror stories about muggings. i have, in months, observed exactly one attempt, and it was a clearly us bum trying to pass himself
as belgian and doing the talking business. clueless enough to not even fucking spot me, the idiot. but otherwise : ever
mircea_popescu: decimation: TheNewDeal: i've heard that black bears aren't so aggressive
as long
as you don't corner a cub << bears generally aren't aggressive at all. felides&canides are aggressive if very hungry or during mating season, but otherwise you can get out and people have for ages. animal aggressivity is a cost/benefit consideration, they';re not the convenient antichrist retarded human shamans preach.
TheNewDeal: We were playing games at night
as a child, someone mistook a small bear cub for me, got real close, but nothing came of it
decimation: TheNewDeal: i've heard that black bears aren't so aggressive

as Business 2.0) for a more creative,
as well
as skilled, workforce, Florida asserts that the contemporary relevance of his research is easy to see."
mircea_popescu: "Florida's theory asserts that metropolitan regions with high concentrations of technology workers, artists, musicians, lesbians and gay men, and a group he describes
as "high bohemians", exhibit a higher level of economic development."
decimation: asciilifeform: re: apple phone clones << still no qwerty-keyboard phone released recently
as far
as I know
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla acting
as if this is a thing makes it a thing. not a good idea.
decimation:
as if Harvard has anything to say about how actual (non-bezzle) business is run
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu> the fuck do people know what their needs are, you might
as well be the veterinarian that offers pet-managed pet care. << Time to go long on bacon

mircea_popescu: "we're a bitcoin company that's trying to make bitcoin work

as much
as well.. with fiat.
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah if one is going to play with uC on a usb stick, might
as well hack a usb storage card use the controller, because cheap
DiabloD3: there are many women who get off on men with power, and it is not our right
as a society on who is allowed to get off on what (outside of bestiality and pedophilia and catholics
mircea_popescu: "TGI Friday's (often shortened to "Friday's" in most countries, previously stylized

mircea_popescu: kdomanski i have nfi how they presume to act
as if the tanks are the problem. no, the us general staff, from the chief to the cleaning lady are the problem. hanged all of them.
mircea_popescu: PeterL: not usually explosives, but I have had a few things go up in flames (note: dumping pyrophoric powder into a container of flammable liquid is a bad idea) << one of my favourite "experiments"
as a 12 yo with a chemistry lab was setting on fire a mix of potassium chloride and sulfur powder, with various metals mixed in for coloration.
mircea_popescu: PeterL: where did you get 100M shares from? << the confusion is mostly because originally F.DERP was going to have 10x
as much money, but then i cut back because nobody was buying the derps, much to i guess no one's surprise.

as a value, just playing the other side here
ThickAsThieves: just a testament to its value, not sure if it's
as damning
as the guy makes it out to be
mircea_popescu: And the Reddit link cites the source
as... Reddit of course. Because apparently nobody creates anything anymore, and it all belongs to Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and Instagram, right assholes? Why bother doing journalism when you can wave a magic wand and say "INTERNET DID IT!"
mircea_popescu: the number can be adjusted
as needed, i wouldn't worry.
mircea_popescu: my favourite example of this business is a gypsy guy by the name viorel lis. at one time the mayor of bucharest, a decade later he was living in the street, but still appearing now and again on tabloid television sets
as "an expert" and "ex mayor" for the 2-300 euro fee that brought him
