asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: hollow coins in real life fool no one if examined individually - given the way they are made, the ruse is quite obvious when seen from the edge.
asciilifeform: i.e. it would cost usg more to actively remove penny, nickel, dime, from circulation, than anyone stands to gain thereby.

asciilifeform: given the fate of usd, the small coins continue to circulate largely through inertia of neglect.
BingoBoingo: Very, but few offer the depth a nickle does.

BingoBoingo: But seriously is there any justification for the current design of the US nickle other than as a thing to hollow?

mircea_popescu: basically... it's a thing lol
asciilifeform: except, i think, he wanted to use money as the filter.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ted nelson wanted to accomplish something like this, in his '60s-present concept
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: picture a future net where something akin to wot is baked into the basic routing mechanism. so, a billion derps can make a request and there will be no transmission back until all the actual people get what they came for. etc.
asciilifeform: but the fact of ddos still being a thing at all, reveals catastrophically broken design at large.

mircea_popescu: yeah, i think qntra is threatening.
jurov: were there any threats?

mircea_popescu: LITERATE english speakers today
mircea_popescu: modern english (ie, shakespeare's writ) is readable to
asciilifeform: jurov: better in the sense that there was a contemporary translation that is still largely readable to modern germans without an archaeological bent.
jurov: how better? they must learn to remember everything till the verb comes?
HelpPlease: ok, i'll give it some more time
asciilifeform: afaik, they have it even better.
xanthyos: sorry the sentence fragment "*was* resolved between now and..." caused a temporal causality grammar glitch

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: shakespeare ported great to ru.
HelpPlease: Not sure, the bet was resolved sometime between now and yesterday.
mircea_popescu: HelpPlease how long ago did that happen ?
mircea_popescu: and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. << "there but for blind luck goes I", just because you're here today doesn't mean another just like you didn't die yesterday, or the day before.
mircea_popescu: To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, creeps in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded time, << roughly equivalent to "life is what happens while we were waiting for other things"
mircea_popescu: there would have been a time for such a word. << It's not like this was the only opportunity for her to die and she had to take it.
mircea_popescu: anyway, let's work it then.

mircea_popescu: maybe thgey did.
asciilifeform: go find the 'broadside ballads' of the time, for example.

mircea_popescu: mike_c that wasn't worse, those you could identify as such
jurov: and executions weren't every day, too
mircea_popescu: no, they went to the theatre like you come here. because it's new and cool and it speaks to you and you can afford to.
mircea_popescu: this wasn't a time when theatre was ancient and respected.
mircea_popescu: jurov why would they ?
mike_c: you've done worse. i swear you posted a couple articles of gobbedly gook that had secret messages.
