mircea_popescu: reason i even know "cuisinart" is that they used to make metal tools. except stopped.
mircea_popescu: so make special kitchen alloy.
mircea_popescu: wtf is wrong with a chunk of fucking bronze, 100 grams or so, for the inner housing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform locally, i expect it does. high speed granules etc.
mircea_popescu: let the dumps contain 1000 plastic re-instantiations of the same god damned object, what if i could afford to pay 3x the price and leave it to my grandkids.
mircea_popescu: now, it';d be nice if you could buy BRONZE interior. not fucking electrolysed, but SOLID. nevertheless, it is apparently usg-forbidden to use actual materials.
mircea_popescu: not sure i want teflonated coffee grinder tbh.
mircea_popescu: apparently it can be formulated so as to dissolve in dmf/dma etc
mircea_popescu: i'll stand by it : this then means that teflon is only marginally at best a plastic.
mircea_popescu: o wow look at that, it's actually done ~in emulsion~. i had nfi.
mircea_popescu: i suppose. so how does it polymerizwe then ?
mircea_popescu: i dunno, dmf ?
mircea_popescu: it's the definition of plastic.
mircea_popescu: every plastic will be solluble in something
mircea_popescu: so basically speaking, for as long as the women will keep getting pregnant the schoolteachers will still have work to do.
mircea_popescu: in any population the majority will be insufficient, and therefore readily converge towards somesuch nonsense.
mircea_popescu: from this search of "the easier way" by people stupid enough to not be able to distinguish the workable from the unworkable, the scam ever emerges.
mircea_popescu: concernedscaling the generator is ambitious idiots. they don't "feel" their current social station is befitting for one such as them ; but they ALSO don't "feel" like they should have to do what has to be done.
mircea_popescu: you're welcome.
mircea_popescu: why not split work and axiety more evenly ? 100% to anxiety seems a poor strategy.
mircea_popescu: concernedscaling well... i'd say you have good cause to be concerned then.
mircea_popescu: like, a logotron is maybe a day's work to stand up and then maybe a hour monthly to maintain and such.
mircea_popescu: how many hours did you spend building a bitcoin something ?
mircea_popescu: so since 2014 let's say, since you recall keyser, we could say you spent about 2k hours, or a full year's workhours, on this.
mircea_popescu: ok, but put out a figure. how many man hours does the concern take a year ?
mircea_popescu: concernedscaling for my curiosity, if you were to calculate the total hours you spent with " I need to take part to see how the market reacts" to date, what'd it come to ?
mircea_popescu: there have been a lot of these pies in the sky to be concerned about to date, huh.
mircea_popescu: we are talking of fiatola here, after all.
mircea_popescu: throwing money around rarely crashes anything.
mircea_popescu: why specifically do you care ?
mircea_popescu: concernedscaling why not make yourself a pgp key and reg with deedbot at that ?
mircea_popescu: what's this, like another digg/reddit ?
mircea_popescu: concernedscaling so invite him over.
mircea_popescu: lol notbad. who's the author ?
mircea_popescu: old will was right, "the world's a stage". what he omitted to point out is that the hall only goes a yard whereas the stage goes on for miles. out of the building, and into the mists.
mircea_popescu: there's more scene than there's audience chairs, see.
mircea_popescu: yes, in the strictest of senses, the obscure masturbatory activities of desocialized youths "exist". but they do not socially exist, and for a very good reason : they're asocial to begin with.
mircea_popescu: conceivably someone somewhere modified his bitcoin client to read "Hakked by CooLbOy" and recompiled. this is mutation now ?
mircea_popescu: has toyota "mutated" or wtf is the argument here. aftermarket modifications are marginal by their fucking definition. the people involved wouldn't be involved otherwise.
mircea_popescu: you ever seen one of those old toyota trucks people deleted bits off so they read YO ?
mircea_popescu: mutate ?
mircea_popescu: concernedscaling it does not.
mircea_popescu: you're probably too young to remember max keiser, and his amusing "expertises" in bitcoin years ago ; nevertheless a good helping of http://trilema.com/2017/cezar-petrescu-file-dintrun-caiet-de-amintiri-mateiu-i-caragiale/#footnote_25_75738 woul;d probably help.
mircea_popescu: this is not the real situation. bitcoin exists. "bitcoin cahs" DOES NOT EXIST. the various people that talk about things similarily do not exist.
mircea_popescu: you see some labels, and take out your chinese set, and lay out the pawns, these red ones to label1, these blue ones to label2 etcetera
mircea_popescu: right. so this is also the problem here : you keep trying to make sense of the situation left after a division by 0.
mircea_popescu: hm. problem might have been larger than originally thought.
mircea_popescu: concernedscaling do you know what happens when you divide by 0 ?
mircea_popescu: to not read*
mircea_popescu: the stubborn insistence of the "reading public" to read old newspapers is very much the chief ideological point of the journalist "profession", as it keeps them in print.
mircea_popescu: maybe http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-08#1734288 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i can almost see the local charge d'affaires, "if you don't get taller hookers ima have your hotel del ray added to index!"
mircea_popescu: sooo obama lifted all-cuba ban, to be enforced instead on a hotel-by-hotel basis ?
mircea_popescu: shinohai did it come alive at night and fuck their wife ?
mircea_popescu: !!up concernedscaling
mircea_popescu: ruined coffee grinder i had to import all the way from switzerland. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and in other "god fucking damn it", i used coffee grinder to grind down some clavo de olor, which was so fucking juicy and fresh it ACTUALLY DISSOLVED the god damned plastic.
mircea_popescu: anything but suck the cock of your betters, it is teh modernity after all, french revolution relevant 4evar!!1
mircea_popescu: anyway. mildly amusing that in 2017 rando still don quixoting with the same windmills as in 2014. who knows, maybe if he wastes his ENTIRE life at this, "how he thinks normal debates work" will matter.
mircea_popescu: nn
mircea_popescu: rando aspie.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2014-08-12#792148 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, the lulzy tim swanson has a blog, on which he uses trilema notes, and derps insistently. i'm taking a bet nobody ever heard of it.
mircea_popescu: aaand in other "united states government what ? who are these schmucks nobody heard of ?" https://www.sec.gov/litigation/investreport/34-81207.pdf
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-09#1734945 << not terrible choice in the 40s, the damage roosevelt was doing was neither obvious nor its staying power clear. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-09#1734936 << you'd be surprised. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i say tis all in teh relationships. otherwise, ownership is illusory.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-09#1734932 << landlady at one place bought me proper showerheads on her own initiative during her own trip to teh civilised world. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: why ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform by that logic costa rica is oil-fried flour-kingdom.
mircea_popescu: other than that, cr oceans are indeed warm.
mircea_popescu: thai seems to be favoured destination
mircea_popescu: nice.
mircea_popescu is curious how that goes.
mircea_popescu: then again understandable, very inept drivers.
mircea_popescu: personally went across the whole thing in a day. quite doable. especially if going at night. locals are pretty nuts with the timings, crowd within the same hours, are apparently petrified of driving at night
mircea_popescu: then again whole country can be walked across.
mircea_popescu: mountain cr kicks ass but obviously no subs there
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes coastal cr is hot and humid though.
mircea_popescu: alternatively, simply buy them passage in a container. though that more reasonable when going to kekistans, i guess
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform maybe run a giveaway on your blog.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo qntra would work fine as a vps off your vps machine im sure. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-18#1726198 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: before opium caught on there was a brain there upon which opium will have caught on later on.
mircea_popescu: baudelaire is well deranged.
mircea_popescu: oya.
mircea_popescu: this is what "anonimity" is hoped to provide to the online tard of 2010s.
mircea_popescu: feeding the self the impression of being in the center of the world while at the same time remaining invisible to the world.
mircea_popescu: who invented the redditard ? charles baudelaire described it cca 1863. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: oir le monde, être au centre du monde et rester caché au monde, tels sont quelques-uns des moindres plaisirs de ces esprits indépendants, passionnés, impartiaux, que la langue ne peut que maladroitement définir. L'observateur est un prince qui jouit partout de son incognito."
mircea_popescu: in other utter lulz : "La foule est son domaine, comme l'air est celui de l'oiseau, comme l'eau celui du poisson. Sa passion et sa profession, c'est d'épouser la foule. Pour le parfait flâneur, pour l'observateur passionné, c'est une immense jouissance que d'élire domicile dans le nombre, dans l'ondoyant, dans le mouvement, dans le fugitif et l'infini. Être hors de chez soi, et pourtant se sentir partout chez soi ; v
mircea_popescu: poker is login site, bpaste isn't.
