PeterL: Speaking of bezzle, I just did my yearly health insurance signup. makes me mad how much I have
to pay now, about 4
times as much as
two years ago for
the same crappy plan
BingoBoingo: Right.
The Usian profs, were profs part
time and clinical pharmacists full
time
decimation: PeterL: no doubt
there are bright foreigners working in
the us. I would suggest
that
they are here despite
the existing immigration policy, not because of it
PeterL: Don't get me wrong,
the group still has plenty of smart Americans as well
BingoBoingo: <PeterL> speaking of visas,
the group I work in is about 1/3rd immigrants,
these are really smart people and
the US is better off with
them here. <<
This was
the case when I
TA'd pharm school. No AMericans apparently want
to study/teach med chem
BingoBoingo: Well, data being manipulated has
to go somewhere so...
PeterL: speaking of visas,
the group I work in is about 1/3rd immigrants,
these are really smart people and
the US is better off with
them here.
BingoBoingo: Human compilers might have had a brighter future is 68k stayed a
thing
decimation: asciilifeform: you raise a good point about
the h1b whining.
the real problem is: how do 'tech' companies manage
to profitably 'employ' legions of unskilled workers
tasked with doing nothing of use?
BingoBoingo: I'm just supposed
to keep his brain from breaking
assbot: Frank Zappa - Let's make
the water
turn black - YouTube
Adlai: and
there i was, reading it as "squinter"
BingoBoingo: In other news picked up a new sharp object
today for pencil sharpening and protecting
the starfish against less
than state level malefactors.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'm only doing
this because you said who ever wants can use. Will
then be used
to put you on
the cunt raw
Adlai: it almost looked like a satire of some hypothetical nice
tidy explanation of how ether flows about or whoknowswhattardation
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'm going
to put in on qntra. List
the steps under it, as list you as
the author so you get
the shares for
the
text.
Adlai: oh, not some official infographic
thingy
Adlai has been out of
the ethereum loop for just about as long as it's existed
Adlai: the phenotype is definitely out
there
mircea_popescu: see, had you followed
that bloomingdale's executive program you wouldn't have
to work nights.
dub: Adlai: its variable, 3 or 4 nights 0400-1000 balance
trying
to be useful during daylight
mircea_popescu: nanotube btw, give deeds.bitcoin-assets.com a spin sometime ? i
think it may well be ready.
dub: praps in a month or
two when noggin is operational
mircea_popescu: dub i dunno, what am i,
the micromanaging
tyrant of a cult ?
mircea_popescu: and since
the b-a domain is so powerful, you'll prolly fuck up
their google fu forever.
Adlai hastily mutters something about
the lack of proper impersonal pronouns
mircea_popescu: Adlai nothing keeps you from making
that a deed right now.
dub: my god
that gawker article is retarded
mircea_popescu: the ONLY way it can become something other
than a dump is inextricably linked
to getting
the legal system, so.
Adlai: something like "I negrate
the person known as ABC and/or XYZ, holder of passport number 123456789"
mircea_popescu: for as long as
the place is a dump inhabited by mexicans and indians, its not really needed
mircea_popescu: well, exactly like
there was missing a way
to sue people in
the western
terrirories.
Adlai: although still missing is a way of negrating people who aren't yet in
the wot
Adlai: "outside
the law" and "sue" now
take on
tiered meanings, with each
transgression offering up a new avenue of redress. i like
this.
BingoBoingo: Goes back
to if
there is an unauthorized Penguin edition of a nubbins' #B-A book. Penguin gets real sued.
mircea_popescu: so
today, if one is in
the wot, he gets neg'd. and if is not... club->head, according
to what
that means currently, ie, sued in a fiat court of "law".
mircea_popescu: this lasted until a year or
two ago , and which point
the wot became
the legal system. at
this point necessarily
the previous, obsolete fiat cvasi-legal system became
the club->head method.
mircea_popescu: centuries ago,
the natural mode of administering justice was, club over head.
the legal system was developed as a better alternative
to
this. so, if one was reachable by
the courts, you'd sue. if not however, club->head.
Adlai has read "GPG Contracts" and "Complete
Theory of Economics" already, although may be fuzzy on
the details
Adlai: negrating is more akin
to merely filing
them
mircea_popescu: the contemporary equivalent of "i'll send a bunch of rogues
to stab you in
the
throat"
assbot: there were about 20 FBI agents searching my neighbor’s
tesla and suv earlier
today in
the mission. /hashtag/mystery?src=hash
http://t.co/o5YZmFnKpO Adlai: negrating doesn't hurt anybody who's not in
the WoT, and a fair amount (all?) of copyrasta economic activity is done outside of
the WoT...
Adlai: that
turned personal quite quickly
mircea_popescu: Adlai at
the very least
that i'll negrate you if you do ?
BingoBoingo: <Adlai> out of curiosity, in
the brave new GPG economy, what's
the use of claiming "This contract is protected as copyrighted material. It may not be reused by different parties without
the express permission of MPEx." ? << Basically
to hurt
the copyrastas
Adlai: out of curiosity, in
the brave new GPG economy, what's
the use of claiming "This contract is protected as copyrighted material. It may not be reused by different parties without
the express permission of MPEx." ?
Adlai: Q:"what do you do?" A:"i'm a career student" Q:"damn, how are
the student loans hitting you?" A:"actually, i just got
tenured"
Adlai: in primary school, we had "social studies" class... let's just call
them
that, and
the members of
this field - "social students"
mircea_popescu: Adlai no, it's correlated with " go work for a
trader, write software
to improve process." in a simple, lienar fashion.
Adlai: gernika: "I slept
through your assembly
talk, but everybody who attended said it sucked"
Adlai: the amount of software needed is much less relevant
than its quality, which isn't correlated
to man-months in any simple/linear fashion
gernika: Visiting FB
tomorrow. Anything you all want me
to mention
to Zuckerburg?
Adlai: these are rather narrow paths,
though. a nice path enables many
to walk abreast.
mircea_popescu: the shortcut
to
this being, go work for a
trader, write software
to improve process.
mircea_popescu: there is exactly one avenue
to do
that : make it so good some actual
trader starts using it, after which go work for him.
☟︎☟︎ Adlai: participation in
the brainstorm requires accepting into your heart
the axiom
that
the market is a positive-sum game
Adlai begins a slow-paced infinite brainstorm of how
to monetize open source
trading software
☟︎ mircea_popescu: Adlai waiting for
them
to prequalify via
tits article first.
Adlai hopes you submitted one or both requests
to
the BitLicense committee
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes
time for bitcoin foundation
to issue a statement
that
the only
thing bitcoin needs is for politicians and other leeches
to stfu and go away ?
mircea_popescu: i need
tougher regulation
to be able
to do mai business. also mary jo attached
to my cock.
Adlai: here, we see
the financier in his natural habitat, conducting
the daily post-accounting scrollback review
mircea_popescu: The20YearIRCloud: proverbial cake and eating it
too <<< and yet none of your renters seem
to want free money ?!
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: how
they convinced
the masses
to contribute millions...i just will never understand <<<
the same way
they convinced
the masses
that russia invaded atlanta, georgia.
mircea_popescu: anyway, gotta love how
the us propaganda machine studiously omits
to mention who
this entire "sec letters!!11"
trend is
trying
to immitate.
totally works, boyz, srsly. cuz nobody knows anything, everyone gets his informations from wired.com.
mircea_popescu: bounce: you know, if
the IRS says
that virtual currencies aren't currencies, how can
the SEC keep on claiming
they are? << you're new here aren't you.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: If
the day ever comes where you want
to switch professions from engineer
to gangsta, I'm
totally down
to ride or die with you. Lets just hope it never comes
to
that ;) <<< if you
two do
that, a film is guaranteed.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: supay: Qntra
takes a lot of
things. <<< yeah, but not kidz! we do not
take your kidz!
mircea_popescu: decimation: most folks
today never learn about
the complete Apocalypse
that faced german people after wwii <<< i hear berlin chicks had a lot of fun in '45.
assbot: The guy who bought a
Tesla with Bitcoin? It was
the "DPR2" from Silk Road....pillar of industry : Buttcoin
assbot: Re: [Bitcoin-development]
The difficulty of writing consensus critical code:
the SIGHASH_SINGLE bug
BingoBoingo: A, well. Hard
to fire people when
there isn't a payroll...
