Duffer1: i read that
as blatant manipulation, we just use different words
mthreat: now when I read ben lawsky's name, I read it in my head
as "ben lolsky"
mircea_popescu: "When I am observing the Arnhem chimpanzees I sometimes feel I am studying Freud’s primal horde;
as if a time machine has taken me back to prehistoric times, so that I can observe the village life of our ancestors. They still accept the droit du seigneur, one of the forgotten products of western culture. When Yeroen was the alpha male, he alone was responsible for about three-quarters of all matings. Not counting sex
artifexd: Once could use the #bitcoin-otc-ratings channel
as source material for a very funny soap opera.
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, these people here are fucking nuts. do you know what the #1 universal question is,
as you start getting intimate ?
ThickAsThieves: maybe i can translate for chetty, or at least put words in her mouth. you have a hyper-sexualized view of things, using sex
as metaphor constantly, being quite horny, keeping sex slaves, sex is majorly part of your psyche, going so far
as to imply a hypersexual person is a hypersuccessful person/ why do you think it's so important and how does this relate to the inferiority assumed by
mircea_popescu: what's to forestall ? things are what they are not what we wanna see them
as.
chetty: yeah, meant
as a generic term, not biology
chetty: you never seem to see the same symbols
as the rest of us
mircea_popescu: in this sense, you;re basically saying that drugs aren;t illegal everywhere, such
as chicago shooting district.
mircea_popescu: if you break that, might
as well just walk into the police station and start shooting randomly.
mircea_popescu: so i am sitting here with a glass of mineral water. it's a tall, about 12 oz glass. on it, some black bubbles
as decor. i've had it for a while.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves : "The report analyzed 2013 credit data from TransUnion to calculate how many Americans were falling behind on their bills. It looked at how many people had non-mortgage bills, such
as credit card bills, child support payments and medical bills, that are so past due that the account has since been closed and placed in collections."
mircea_popescu: cazalla said "well, that too but they were warned". to this i said, "a nod is
as good
as a wink".
as in, it shouldn't really take much warning that when a cock is going in and out of your butt, you're being fucked.
assbot: A nod is
as good
as a wink
moiety: aww she's so cute thick_as_thieves! beautiful colouring
cazalla: could produce more but i like to give the does a month break once she weans them, the commercial ones are typically rebreed same day
as they give birth
cazalla: i had to keep it together for her sake but i was terrified, tour operator ended up turning back
as he was concerned
as well
cazalla: missus started crying, it was her idea too
as she wanted to see the seals etc
cazalla: moiety, i lived with 2 other guys in a 2 bedroom unit when i was much younger, we turned the loungeroom into another bedroom
as it had a door, was worth it at the time to save on rent but the cooking, cleaning is a pita when others don't rate it
as highly
as i do on list of things to do
mircea_popescu: the point is for bitcoin to be
as powerful
as possible.
DreadKnight: I was considering ASICs
as a "the rich get richer" sort of thing, but considering their utility/cost/risks, it's all good
BingoBoingo: This bet resolves
as Yes if the HKD trades at 7.65 HKD per USD or stronger at any time before February 2015.
mircea_popescu: so for these considerations, it makes about
as much sense to talk of bitcoin atms
as it makes sense to talk of using wet matches to shoot down Mars.
mircea_popescu: specifically : an atm requires a fortress. we have not yet built the fortress. when we do, you will know we have, because i will kidnap a number of "world leaders" wives and daughters to be publicly raped there
as to make the fucking point that in fact it IS a fortress.
☟︎ mike_c: thick_as_thieves:mike_c i love the analysis << thx :) it was fun.
mircea_popescu: mike_c yes, for
as long
as it lasts milking the scampit is lucrative.
HeySteve: (perhaps it's more accurate to say I re-had the idea, seeing
as nanotube was looking at decentralising the WoT ages ago)
HeySteve: thick_as_thieves, we got pretty far. forked NMC and had a blockchain running you could use to add and retrieve public keys and other details like name, email, business, etc.
thick_as_thieves: <+HeySteve> ;;tell thick_as_thieves ThickAsThieves: something like turn namecoin in a wot <- was working on exactly this /// how's it going?
HeySteve: ;;tell thick_as_thieves ThickAsThieves: something like turn namecoin in a wot <- was working on exactly this
moiety: omg at that album thick_as_thieves :'D lolol

moiety: the advice is much appreciated, thank you thick_as_thieves
moiety: unsure
as yet thick_as_thieves all i know is i need a pop filter?
thick_as_thieves: <+moiety> i'm getting a better mic
as well so things should sound better // which?
moiety: dub: i said yes when i didn't realise it was all the recording
as well
moiety: i'm getting a better mic
as well so things should sound better
moiety: lol XD
as long
as it doesn't sound like i'm saying cunt!
midnightmagic: the statement of a trust factor is the person making the judgement. if the WoT is dual, then the person would conceivably be forced to make more than one update, so the win would be externalizing the cost in terms of time onto the end-users. a second WoT would be useful in the event that the trust statements were of non-overlapping domains, such
as trading confidence vs. (say) physics capability. "I trust this guy to correctly
mircea_popescu: political views are just
as valid
as economical views. the distinction is not nearly
as clear cut
as you'd like it to imagine.
mircea_popescu: the wot would really work just
as good
as a balnced ternary sistem really.
mircea_popescu: so it's at least in principle and often practically difficult for a third party to dispute your ratings
as appropriate or inappropriate.
mircea_popescu: that's the big point there. your rating quantity is not about them at all. it's about you. you're describing yourself,
as a repository of knowledge.
mircea_popescu: what is needed is perhaps more in depth explaining of how great the system is,
as it is.
mircea_popescu: jurov what's the concern, that a bid gets hit just
as you post ?
mircea_popescu: jurov this could work. you publish the list once a month on your blog,
as mike describes, then i verify the totals.
godovo: fluffypony just
as important
as the dude part
mircea_popescu: there's no such thing
as "a business account". businesses exist
as declarations from people in the wot. sovereignity in business is invested with the principals, the business is just a wrapper.
fluffypony: if the fee was set in USD but BTC was accepted
as payment it would fluctuate (in BTC terms), but if it's set in BTC it stays in BTC
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: "Me siento con suerte" sounds like the title of a poem, doesn't have the same ring to it
as "I'm feeling lucky" << srsly. most shit in spanish sounds poetic.
mircea_popescu: pankkake: eheh. outrage-driven is clearly the right qualifier << i like the girl, she's got word propriety. this is a rare skill,
as it requires a lot more in depth knowledge than your average internet tard can possibly muster.
mircea_popescu: mike_c i have a lot of experience with wanna-be spammer kids. this is simply "plausible denial",
as they understand it.
assbot: The pseudo-Bitcoinsphere feels just
as squishy-poo
as the Romanian pseudo-blogosphere felt five years or so ago. pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
punkman: rithm, takes a lot of time to build up shill accounts
as it is
kakobrekla: but when bitcoin started, there werent enough people for that
as well, just a circlejerk
jurov: ThickAsThieves: this already happens
as rap sheet and various no-fly blacklists, etc.
jurov: ThickAsThieves i understood it
as you dislike the need not to be anonymous for web of trust to work

mike_c: it is quantified! gettrust uses your edge weights
as weighting.
danielpbarron: ThickAsThieves, the points already *are* weighted; a user in your L1 can only pass along
as much rating to someone's L2 score
as you have given them
ThickAsThieves: well 10 points from mp is not the same
as from ninjashogun
ThickAsThieves: 'Describing themselves somewhat tweely
as “tech tweenpreneurs”, JuJu, GiGi and JoJo have already authored more than 20 technology-related books aimed at children their own age. Now they have turned their focus on cryptocurrency through their Bitkidz website – the first ever bitcoin social media site for children'
fluffypony: "Me siento con suerte" sounds like the title of a poem, doesn't have the same ring to it
as "I'm feeling lucky"
mircea_popescu: "Ukrainians excell at robbing, selling out, dismantling and destroying their own country; but achieving a specific, precise result
as part of a highly coordinated mission? Not so much."
mircea_popescu: RebeccaBitcoin: Oh ok sorry if I bothered you.
As my name suggests I am a sub and was looking << is this the russian bride scam being marketed to women now ?

pete_dushenski: benkay: some people identify
as stupid << hardly. pretty sure everyone in north america think they're hawkings' able-bodied offspring
benkay: came to the conclusion that until people start identifying
as piles of feces, the only acceptable bad word is "shitty" and then i remembered this one girl...
benkay: oh also i was told today that calling things "stupid" is bad because some people identify
as stupid and using stupid
as a negative word makes them feel bad
benkay: the os x one only has one slot
as apparently a giant "fuck you" to anyone who's not a retard
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> who knows, perhaps insurers now believe,
as some ww1 soldiers did, that 'shell doesn't ever drop into the old crater' << Old crater is perfect target to shell if you can't see enemies outside of it.
RebeccaBitcoin: Oh ok sorry if I bothered you.
As my name suggests I am a sub and was looking
benkay: it's almost
as grueling a read
as deuteronomy
benkay: i've advocated things like this before
as well. mircea_popescu and kakobrekla prefer the join/part spam, and having people ask other people in the wot for voice.
mike_c: you sound like you are in
as good a mood
as i am.

BingoBoingo: RooK314: Hydrogen Flouride exists
as a perfectly natural salt...
mircea_popescu: A gifted young fellow from Sparta was widely renowned
as a farta'.He could fart anything from "Of Thee I Sing," to Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata."
TheNewDeal: it was just
as high quality the second time around
