DreadKnight: btcjam basically has the same amount of credibility as any crowd funding website in existence

DreadKnight: probably with even a few original games as well
DreadKnight: bringing games as an argument is like you're deliberately trying to play the same few games that just aren't made with other operating systems in mind
thestringpuller: When someone logs in as me on this channel
kuzetsa: thestringpuller: also, Steam OS is probably not going to support anonymous, random hardware as well as windows
kuzetsa: kinda like what you just did with "you're using windows" argument, but not as cool
DreadKnight: there's driver for nouveau as well afaik
DreadKnight: ubuntu is just a foundation, you can customize your OS as you wish
DreadKnight: benkay, anyway, "copy cat" as in trying to fill the same shoes, so doesn't matter what order, if you see something else trying to be the same thing, it just feels wrong
DreadKnight: tried to watch UK one as well, simply stopped.
DreadKnight: decimation, computer science; basically talking about components and crap; most of the time leaving students to spend time on the internet as they wish while he's getting paid anyway
kuzetsa: just FYI, warning, that pic is likely meant as an attempt at offending straight men
kuzetsa: as per quote (generally, if it's offensive it's appropriate) ---> http://picpaste.com/pics/128231838279.1406431149.jpg
mircea_popescu: <kuzetsa> (that twitter still shows http://polimedia.us/bitcoin/mpex.php as being the relevant site) << twitter is clueless
kuzetsa: anyway, later everyone -- was nice actually talking today (as opposed to mostly idling) --- I'll bbl or something (though probably not tonight)
kuzetsa: (that twitter still shows http://polimedia.us/bitcoin/mpex.php as being the relevant site)
mircea_popescu: kyriarchy does not care what you're thinking while taking its unsolicited fat cock, as long as you moan appropriately.
decimation: 2001: a space odyssey was one of my favorite movies as a kid, but I was disappointed by the book honestly
DreadKnight: kuzetsa, same colors in their world as well, unless they get to see more of them or maybe less
DreadKnight: Kushed, just because they're from a different place doesn't mean they're not affected by polarity / gravity and yin&yang as well
mircea_popescu: right, the dollies wouldn't be as hard as the classmates, if the dollies were classmates.
kuzetsa: aliens wouldn't be as tedious as human-type people are... socializing is hard :(
DreadKnight: universe will likely reset itself, all supposedly immortal beings within it's bounds will get poked as well with it
mircea_popescu: one of the telling symptoms of the libertard is that he'll replace his person as is with some sort of ilimited derivative of god, and pretend to concern himself with "the termic death of the universe".
kuzetsa: DreadKnight: as mircea_popescu said, this isn't an ontological discussion (and then you chimed in to qualify: it's political)
kuzetsa: people don't matter, and their opinions tend to be at least twice as stupid
mircea_popescu: basically, anyone who's to the left of, being in favour of the release of serbs in medieval germany/russia could count as a libertard, depending how the conversation turns.
mircea_popescu: generally, people who identify as liberals, progressives, social-something or the other etc.
DreadKnight: that imgur is what I had in mind as well overall
kuzetsa: cazalla: thanks for linking that too, I didn't realize the word "kyriarchy" was even a thing (this word pleases me, it's a good thing to have a word for, and as a thing, kyriarchy sucks all of the badness)
cazalla: DreadKnight, you see artsy as smart, i see it as dumb, we probably like the same women
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, yeah, noticed the pattern in other areas as well
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight the valley girl is not as romanian as you think.
cazalla: why are you attracted to smart women DreadKnight? my wife is dumb as rock and that's how i like it
cazalla: benkay, as it turns out, i had pretty bad sinus infection
cazalla: i still am, perhaps just not as soon
DreadKnight: would be great if less people were all about sex; maybe would see less stupid people with lots of kids as well
kuzetsa: as far as romantic relationships are concerned, physicallity is something I neither object to nor expect
kuzetsa: DreadKnight: ah, fair enough -- I thought sapiosexual was an ok word for my own preferences until I realized the extra fancy term: "panromantic demisexual" was a much more accurate thing in my case (as far as labels go)
DreadKnight: kuzetsa, are you into that sort of science as well? :D
mircea_popescu: well inasmuch as i don't know you, what diff does it make :p
benkay: as nav goes up so will bids
gribble: Error: Spurious "]". You may want to quote your arguments with double quotes in order to prevent extra brackets from being evaluated as nested commands.
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, could use some tutoring about stocks / shares / dividends as well, mainly from the perspective of getting something listed
mircea_popescu: as the case may be, yes.
mircea_popescu is really curious if benkay took the implicit "so have her lock you up" as intended or simply read the neutral statemen the other way :D
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ...count themselves as paupers << yep
asciilifeform went to exercise and, as usual, missed all the goodstuff
assbot: Arizona's Execution Attempt Goes Horribly Wrong As Man Remains Alive Nearly 2 Hours After Injection | ThinkProgress
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, roger; was confused at first to see "Credits: 4" on your website, as I was thinking of the "cast" thingy like in movies; but yeah, you seem to write quite a bit about everything, so I see that working more and more with time as people get more familiar with technologies and digital currencies and become less scrubs hopefully
mircea_popescu: kuzetsa anyway, the gist of it is that some random ro blogger got caught stealing a pic off a chan and presenting it as himself assfucking the girl in question.
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: oooh, so the google translate server farm thinger has been detected as having exceeded quota?
mircea_popescu: kuzetsa "one that knows everything". it's ironic, as in, he THIN?KS he does.
kuzetsa: that's not the same thing as being non-consensually defamed by a stranger
kuzetsa: jurov: I've met people who self-identify some form of otherkin, and they legally still count as persons, despite a non-human self-identification... they also often accept the term "person" as being equally valid for non-human persons :P
mircea_popescu: who the fuck cares how people self idnetify ? all sorts of idiots self-identify as ceos of bitcoin entreprises, bitcoin investors, parts of the bitcoin community and so on and so forth ad nauseam. nobody worth two bits credits any of that self-identification crap.
mircea_popescu: and you don't perceive this as a character flaw ?
kuzetsa: jurov: some people don't self-identify as "men" despite having the legal (and presumably, medical) status of a male person... I've had a lot of friends who don't have a strong sense of gender in their self-identification.

HeySteve: mircea_popescu, I used ;;eauth as usual
fluffypony: HeySteve: are you seeing the same error as the20year was?
kuzetsa: fats_cd03: generally, this time, specifically, I probably meant the sorts of things which are often used as a basis for stereotypes or discrimination
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight: anyway, 1600$+ a month just because; for writing; that's like 3 romanian full time jobs; I got 0 on there so far <<< you know 20k a year is basically unemployment benefits. it doesn't really register as a fortune on anyone's radar. people like asciilifeform make many times that and essentially count themselves as paupers.
kuzetsa: I still do a bit of consulting / contract work now and then though, as well as some speculation with bitcoin and such
cazalla: kuzetsa, retired or on disability due to feminist issues such as gender dysmorphia, anxiety or other made up shit?
mircea_popescu: sexy_saffron women can't be as shitty as men because they're inferior and all.
cazalla: i don't understand why it is homoerotic though, my understanding it's meaning is that a woman does not have the power to influence online as she does irl
DreadKnight: HeySteve, ha, I kept telling people that, especially as advice to avoid online insults or even rape, but a lot of people insist in "I can dress the way I want, nobody should care; the raper is always the guilty one!", so I'm like "ok, good luck with that mentality"
sexy_saffron: I think the best philosophy is to just stay true to yourself and not care what other people think, as cliche as that sounds
mircea_popescu: sexy_saffron yeah but if it's not objectively drawn then might as well give up. people wil just claim hurtbutts to get out of things they don't want to hear.
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: it's dehumanizing to label someone as a term which is not inherently describing a state which is common to persons
kuzetsa: I personally don't feel "trash" or "trashy" is a good way to refer to persons --- trash is refuse, waste, compost, scrap, things to be recycled, or a computer metaphor for marking something as "trash" to be staged for deletion (such as putting one's unwanted spam emails in the trash)
kuzetsa: choices about outwardly expressing whatever self-image one has about ones self (and/or other reasons for dressing one way or another) just doesn't seem like a friendly thing to use as a basis for labeling someone as "trashy"
cazalla: yeah, i like it on the right girl but i describe it as trashy, nfi why kuzetsa would take offense
benkay: yeah sure - tattoos are great as well
kuzetsa: cazalla: so as per privmsg, I don't understand why you called me a faggot
DreadKnight: they do that on their own as a hobby / job
asciilifeform: if they come from my being a stonemason in mexico city, as far as i can tell i'm then already in a jail
asciilifeform: as this enables escape
asciilifeform: as diplomat, your 'wife' might actually be someone whose only job is to shoot you in the head if you start to 'turn.'
mircea_popescu: this isn't nearly as cut and dried a matter as the usg likes to pretend (forced mistake, it has no alternative than to so pretend).
mircea_popescu: this has some trouble getting past things such as you know, that wikileaks guy.
asciilifeform: decimation: which is why, with the possible exception of folks who can cough up astoundingly large ransom, falling into the hands of u.s. 'justice' system should be thought of as equivalent to ending up in a gestapo dungeon.
decimation: just as rich folk could give a tinker's damn what some poor mexican thinks about how things ought to be
mircea_popescu: inasmuch as some jews are hispanic, im sure it will increase.
mircea_popescu: in fact : traditional views on sexuality impose monogamy as a standard because that's the only way to hide just how dumb and inept a commune actually is : by keeping it real small.
asciilifeform: except that removing pp will not cure retardation. just as removing maggots will not resurrect corpse.
ThickAsThieves: i didnt know Portishead made a new album in 2008, it's actually good as the other stuff
benkay: i'm starting to realize also that an engineering team that's blitting from one project to another is never going to be as effective as the same team focused on roadmap and cohesive set of business objectives.
benkay: vision for next 2 years is to grab bigger and bigger slices of the pie, maybe using mobile as a wedge and demonstrating kickassery and then expanding scope to whatever can be had and paid for.
decimation: I wouldn't mind one of these: http://www.czub.cz/en/catalog/364-centerfire-rifles-cz/KL/CZ_527_CARBINE.aspx strikes me as well made and practical
asciilifeform: as evidenced by the fact of lend-lease 'chicago typewriters' remaining mostly unused, languishing in warehouses to this day
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: phun phact. russia produced 308 winchester since early 1970s. why? brezhnev received a costly hunting rifle as a gift from usa. needed to feed it... << Similar with stalin and his 1911
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: phun phact. russia produced 308 winchester since early 1970s. why? brezhnev received a costly hunting rifle as a gift from usa. needed to feed it...
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, totally; still reading comments actually, I got a bit of nostalgia now :D nice to see lots of comments on your blog made by krossfire as well
thestringpuller: but the one I'm going to is a skateboard ride away. So I can get drunk as shit and skate home.
mircea_popescu: might as well skipped him went straight from lizzie to the kids.
decimation: note that the areas that have increasing millennial home-buying are all low-cost areas that have escaped bezzle inflation: "Among the top cities that may see a surge are Austin and Dallas in Texas, as well as Denver and Des Moines, Iowa. "
mircea_popescu: . Among the top cities that may see a surge are Austin and Dallas in Texas, as well as Denver and Des Moines, Iowa.
