fluffypony: depends on if we're using it
as a back massager
fluffypony: mike_c: it's up to what they can commit - I'm happy with a part time role
as long
as they stay commited and active
mircea_popescu: sure in an idealised, us-centric world
as the naive represent thngs to be, a well armed citizenry is the guarantee and bla bla.
mircea_popescu: no wonder gun ownership is perceioved
as such a problem.
mircea_popescu:
as things stand right now, if someone could somehow be bothered to invade, the us would simply collapse and that's that.
mircea_popescu: benkay
as compared to the rights and privileges ownership conferred upon your grandfather, ownership confers nothing much to you today.
mike_c: yes. just selling 1 btc for 0.9 btc always strikes me
as nuts. i guess if you need the liquidity.
benkay: hang on headship applies if you own
as well?
mircea_popescu: what headship ? millenials want to live in herds,
as slaves, with a master.
mircea_popescu: "Rather, the decline is cyclical and
as the economy improves, Furman said, millennial headship rates will improve, which could translate into eventual ownership." <<< ahahaha no fucking way.
mircea_popescu: , physical weakness, destruction of harvest, and overpopulation. Fluffy Ponies can often die from their own stupidity such
as falling off a cliff when attempting to fly, getting run over by a car because they thought it was a friend, eating bad foods, etc. Some abusers often abuse fluffy ponies
as if they were clearing out a vermin infestation, while others abuse them for bad deeds such
as defecating at the wrong place
mrstickball_: FWIW, if anyone is going to that conference, I'll gladly take them out for dinner
as a member of #bitcoin-assets

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the highway robbery the us govt is conducting
as a matter of course is well documented already, yes.
mike_c: i didn't present it
as 2 of 2 choices
benkay: <mircea_popescu> it's not really "or else". // whose wives don't do
as told?
mircea_popescu: personally, i kinda like it how they keep making these forum threads about how mpex is bad, get laughed into the ground, close it and reopen it
as if it were new.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla yeah perhaps
as much
as fiddy bitcents profited.
mircea_popescu: so that your nodes act
as cjdns nodes too, help both projhects.
mike_c: and so you continue to be wrong, and no longer receive any input
as to why.
mircea_popescu: did this harrowing emotional experience constitute an opportunity for them to grow,
as a person ?
mike_c: it is same
as dog. you are limiting the downside, but also limiting upside.
mike_c: you can apply those last two lines to BTC
as well
mircea_popescu: yes well, everyone thinks their thing's special, for
as long
as it lasts.
mircea_popescu:
as far
as i can see, wife's closer to dog than to slave.
mircea_popescu: which is why women are my slaves, rather than me theirs : because i am great, and they aren't
as great.
fluffypony: either way, we've realised we're too selfish
as a couple to consider children, and I doubt that will change in future
mircea_popescu: which doesn't work today,
as there's not much useful work kids can do.
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves this is the benefit of aging. you start to realise your time is worth more than money. << a lesson few, even more aged, grok. intentionally i often suspect,
as they're too unimaginative to find better uses for their time
chetty: <asciilifeform> bitcoinpete: this (
as discussed in the log) is not a thing in every u.s. uni, but only at the 'ivy' ones (most expensive, direct ladder to the lizardocracy)//trickle down will get there
DreadKnight: there are a few extra creditz episodes on youtube why new mmorpg's don't make it
as in they can't compete with WoW etc
benkay: "cyranodeb" // read
as cyra-node-b, because i have bitcoins on the mind
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight you won't get a bond
as nobody. not even major players in the industry get bonds.
jurov: DreadKnight so if you had in exchange for investment to pay out % of profit
as dividends, is that unacceptable string to you?
assbot: Gamasutra: Daniel Cook's Blog - A single game
as a lifelong hobby
DreadKnight: DreadKnight:or even investors,
as long
as the strings aren't forever <-> mircea_popescu:DreadKnight why not ?
BingoBoingo: Altcoin
as usual is the perfect contrast because dev costs are already sunk and minimal. Instead what ATC has are long term commitments to buy it.
BingoBoingo: At least Ripple had the courtesy to give away their fail tokens at the start. Basically the Ether terms are then can funnel up to 5kilo BTC back into "development" with the net effect they can Burn 5000 btc in this sale and relaim them later
as "expenses"
BingoBoingo: Indeed rather large
as well. Getting enough that size for a strand would be one of (expensive, a pain in the ass)
mircea_popescu: hm, now that'd be a character : a gaudy hipster that identifies
as vegan and chains oysters
BingoBoingo: Being
as far
as they are from anything else that might vaguely be considered an animal
BingoBoingo: Pretty sure oysters are or at least should count
as vegan
DreadKnight: when it comes to linux and php, if you want to work inside dropbox
as well, you have to deal with symlink, permission rights, logic and such
BingoBoingo: Well historically most candied things were produced
as a way to preserve various foods.
mircea_popescu: however a half pound glucose crystal is about
as perishable
as plastic.
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, considered that scenario
as well, nice :)
mircea_popescu: “To have a nation, you must have people and you must have young people to be able to drive the economy and young people buy the products — all these gadgets and fine dining — and if you don’t have that, and you refuse migrants
as the Japanese do, you will just dissolve into nothingness! I think before that comes, they may change (their) policy.” << a country which doesn't have enough gullible fools is not use
mircea_popescu:
as women started giving a fuck, fertility melted away.
DreadKnight: it's fun
as long
as you got team or don't take it seriously / not play too often
mircea_popescu: decimation the funny thing about the incident is that everyone happily ignored the "your business part" and took it
as gospel. "the importance of brand over quality"
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform had a rant or several
as well
mircea_popescu: one of the most important vulnerabilities extant in bitcoin
as is.
mircea_popescu: suppose pow is, "find a 1mbit value which xored with your block results in a wol-like table which playing for 32 generations results in a table identical to the table of the block
as is"
mircea_popescu: well they don't do it. they do something that's "just
as good".
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, yeah, played that one
as well, I was a moba junkie, it was part of the experience and motivation when designing Ancient Beast
DreadKnight: like I said for the business model, subscription granting access to more game modes, digital merchandise (card packs / lifes , food / boosters, skins), physical merchandise and fees from betting currency (
as spectator or player)
DreadKnight:
as in, I can't spend tremendous amounts of time working on it along with other people if it wouldn't sustain itself, not to mention me eventually
DreadKnight: or even investors,
as long
as the strings aren't forever
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, there are several ways of spreading a webgame
as well, "web publishers" like facebook, fgl.com, gamejolt.com and many more - the game is easy to embed anywhere actually
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, the game is playable from the website, SaaS business model (software
as a service), so what was your meaning?
DreadKnight: t of the Ancient Beast units will become popular thanks to their license / attribution and usage, so it's all like a virus, to spread
as much
as possible
DreadKnight: ve certain stats for limited amounts of time, food will be rather cheap, but it can make the difference between life and death, victory and loss; besides, there will be tournaments, playing for digital currency (where a % will be taken
as fee); each month the ladder will start fresh, winners from previous month being added to a hall of fame; there will also be merchandise in the shop (tshirts, miniatures, plushies, and so on), mos
DreadKnight: there will be a mode for subscribers that will have a monthly ladder, top players receiving prizes; each match and victory will be logged; in this mode, your units will die and you'll have to purchase card packs with random units inside, so you won't have access to every single unit in the game unless you pay, also each victory will take a toll,
as you'll have casualties most likely; you'll also be able to feed your units to impro
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight looky here : in business, one's always selling something. games are business.
as such, they can either sell content or risk.
DreadKnight: in chess you don't have randomness; the random part is that unlike chess, you pick your units (tools)
as you go by, so from hundreds of units, you'll only put like 5 or so into play in a match
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, Alright :-) making free open source game project, turn based strategy game playable from the browser; it's kinda like the reverse of Super Smash Bros Brawl,
as it features a lot of original characters that will be featured in a lot of other games; the project is inspired by Heroes of Might and Magic 3's combat system, but improved, combined with Trading Card Games; it's fun, easy to get into, but it's hard to maste

pigeons: coinbase cancellation
as in mircea_popescu cancelled his DERP? or coinbase cancellation
as in the same old thing where they cancel people's order cause coinbase
BingoBoingo: I've never had a problem with champagne, now "champagne"
as in the generic bubbly stuff from places that shouldn't be attempting such a thing...
mircea_popescu: trixisowned: when in reality they just added their address to the list of miners, and take a percentage of each block
as if they were actually hashing << this is pretty major, actually.
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight now you can self-voice. you identify with gribble (same process
as you just completed) then pm assbot !up
mircea_popescu: the login process is that you make a claim
as to who you are, gribble encodes a string to that public key

mircea_popescu: which is really ofputting, because in many cultures, such
as my own, the thumbprint is the curse of the illiterate.
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight anyway, get your gpg registered in the wot
as a first step. we'll work something out.
rithm: plain white boxes would also redact just
as well
