BingoBoingo: As do I
mircea_popescu: lmao dank made into a book ? as fate has it i unloaded a bunch of movie dvds a chick made for me cca 2010. they'd been waiting ever since.
FabianB: thestringpuller: sure, but an estimation can't be 100% correct, so as with the weather forecast it's nice to have competing estimators
ThickAsThieves: <+FabianB> isn't it a good thing there are different competing formulas for forecasts? /// Well, the estimated next diff feature is meant to be useful (as accurate as possible), not "competitive".
mircea_popescu: history repeating itself as it were.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, to make the point plain : the real world, practical value of a libertard, such as a liberal with a phd from urbana & his firends, is just about epsilon.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, the forum is shittier than IRC, ergo the forum gets the second rate Mircea... seeing as they chased hanbot off.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla it went as high as 60 iirc
FabianB: "rewrite the tcp/ip stack so that all traffic is encrypted" <-- as cjdns has done
HeySteve: also, do you want the woman to accept directly bitcoin as in that previous experiment with the call-girls (I think they were)?
mircea_popescu: for this reason, as the library grows, it'll become trivial for one to just keep getting 10 bitcents
lobbes: I am a newbie trying to sponge up as much info as possible
benkay: The choice of Forth was dictated by strong implementation issues. such as
kakobrekla: <kakobrekla> >and trying to measure an investment over time in a currency as volatile as Bitcoin is just plain dumb.

asciilifeform: '"We asked could we at least talk about when something could become available as a used book? Could we maybe wait three months after the book was published?" said Patricia Schroeder, president of the Association of American Publishers. "The biggest problem is that it is legal, I think. I wring my hands, pound my desk and say, `Aargh.' "'
asciilifeform: (as well as the sale of used books.)
ThickAsThieves: my short term assessment is we just broke thru an Ichimoku cloud, which likely be used as a foundation for another run up.
mircea_popescu: yes it does! like before taking 100+ cox kim kadashian was kinda not so awesome. but then she took 1000+ cox and was almost as awesome as that other chick
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Sure, but this is the internet so the poor can hitch their nothing to Dogecoin, Darkcoin, or whatever reflects their particular type of poor as they imagine it best
jurov: shoulda also rate lampelina as subgreaser, no?
bitcoinpete: as used by brainwallet.org
fluffypony: "As used by Karpeles!"
mircea_popescu: "One of the central themes of the postmodern critique of our values is that aesthetics must trump truth as long as aesthetics remains undefined. That’s the semiotic conundrum, why psychiatry is politics: the truth is demanded only when it supports a preset ideology."
ThickAsThieves: hold him, as it were
ThickAsThieves: but i also wouldnt use rape as a metaphor
ThickAsThieves: no, i meant i try not to assualt the individual as a means of communication
mircea_popescu: well yes. as in "a touching remark"
mircea_popescu: that's your response as to why you try not to touch people ?!
mircea_popescu: pankkake "more than four times as much nodes" > as many. much works as a comparative for uncuntable items only. as much money, as much police. if the substance is discrete, more. more nodes, more tits.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: misread sentence as 'maybe we should run a campaign to rename antennas. ThickAsThieves: balunus'
kakobrekla: so its first time _as a female_
kakobrekla: >When Plato gave Socrates' definition of man as "featherless bipeds" and was much praised for the definition, Diogenes plucked a chicken and brought it into Plato's Academy, saying, "Behold! I've brought you a man." After this incident, "with broad flat nails" was added to Plato's definition.
asciilifeform: (christianity has a rather wide operating envelope - e.g. conquistador was permitted to behead untermenschen so long as they're baptized first, etc)
BingoBoingo: <HeySteve> <+mircea_popescu> that's the fucking problem at the bottom of it : a class of people that have been trained to equate power with badness and powerlessness with goodness. <- Nietzche described it as slave morality, as opposed to master morality << You mispelled Hegel
mircea_popescu: as such, for a short time 19th-20th century christianity was forced out of shape for the needs of the equalitarian ideology of the time
asciilifeform: as i recall, he applied it as a general principle - christianity being an example of the clusterfuck that happens when 'the slaves win.'

mircea_popescu: whoa i just had an epiphany. someone linked the tlp blog just as i was reading davout's comment on rettardit and it struck me.
mircea_popescu: use special glyph sets as poor man's grapics.
ThickAsThieves: the option to learn and practice this is only as expensive as i permit it to be
ThickAsThieves: “Normally, we would expect the price to hit bottom around the time of the auction or soon after. Bitcoin isn’t that liquid so the sale will be hard to swallow. It is unlikely that anyone will bid above the market price – it would make more sense to just to buy in the market in bits and pieces and it’s not as if there is indication that there is bitcoin demand that is unmet
assbot: Bitcoin miner TX-selection: "prioritisation as a business model encourages centralisation and is incompatible with p2pool. Very harmful patch" : Bitcoin
BingoBoingo: Node behavior battles have begun: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/298gmv/bitcoin_miner_txselection_prioritisation_as_a/
pankkake: chetty: this is funny how the Euro really doesn't work; countries resort to things that have the same effects as printing money themselves
Mats_cd03: as far as alpha male goes..
punkman: "One hippo is to blame for the move upriver. Hippos live in harems. The alpha male at the Hacienda is known as El Viejo - The Old Man - and he is very powerful"
punkman: "How much the hippos like Colombia can be judged from how much sex they are having. In Africa they usually become sexually active between the ages of seven and nine for males, and nine and 11 for females, but Pablo Escobar's hippos are becoming sexually active as young as three."
pankkake: right, I've seen that one before. but as I understand it, he merged the shell and the terminal emulator
assbot: Dozens hurt at house party as room over garage collapses - Houston Chronicle
mircea_popescu: ask anyone, would they rather fuck a bunch of women, or would they rather not fuck at all but be regarded by their peers as a modern casanova ?
mircea_popescu: just as long as you don't try curing things that don't have a cure
mircea_popescu: but currently it's mostly regarded as "the health of the population" is a thing.
decimation: as in "continuing medical education"?
asciilifeform: (usg likes to lay unmarked fiber for seekrit skvirrel use. what happens? it gets cut. as the recent case of a new branch of wash. dc metro)
mircea_popescu: anyway, fee tail used to exist, as the practical consequence of alodial title
decimation: it makes the situation plain as day: there is no allodial title outside the government
mircea_popescu: "But that’s not his style. He rolls up his sleeves. He puts his theories into action. He drives himself as hard as anyone I know." gates now a "hard work" apologist ?
mircea_popescu: they have all these points of conflict all over the environment, such as who fucked the blonde escort last
mircea_popescu: the practicalities of a healthy sex life in argentina : as everywhere in south america, abortions are illegal here.
decimation: are you propsing that Professor Sachs belongs in the same category as bitcoin scammers?
mircea_popescu: in those same other states it's illegal to present yourself as a "leading international adviser" while you're a sort of rsm.
mircea_popescu: "Here's a transcript of an illegal recording not done by the NSA that therefore everyone is ok with, consistent with our new standard of conduct: it is not illegal to make an illegal recording as long as it is given to the media and they profit from it and we can use it to rationalize our lives. Got it." lulzy
asciilifeform: american apparatchik gets a bag of bezzlars, 'his' to use to 'buy' manhattan penthouse. but same purpose as dacha near moscow issued to a similar creature
mircea_popescu: ok, quite splendid. the us is chock full of supposedly rich people who are about as powerless as a random south american whore
mircea_popescu: Why would the The Economist's rich and powerful demo want to be ruled? Because they aren't powerful, only rich, all that time getting rich did not translate to any power, only the trappings of power. So they've postulated a fantasy power structure/NBA owners that explains why they can't enjoy their lives as they think they should-- to absolve themselves of the guilt they feel for having money/intellect/opportunities an
RagnarDanneskjol: tell him to try airwallet [disclosure, its hosted by me]. doesnt seem wise using appstore wallets as they might disappear tomorrow
mircea_popescu: that it can't be, as the charge was levied back in 2012.
greencabbige: as hardware is priced in dollars
greencabbige: possibly somewhere although i did it all my self then so very messy. Like I said our share price was 0.015 what saved us is I offered 0.002 per share for new funds to buy three KNC Jupiters. the shareholders we mostly against it, but i new those bfl's wernt worth shit. So it kind saved our bacon, but drastically lowered share price as I bought in 200% more shares and there's no knew buyers on 796.
asciilifeform: 'agents, they are here' << 'we had no doubts that the dacha [place of n. s. khruschev's forced retirement] was festooned with microphones, but as to where the receiving devices and tape reels were emplaced - no one had any idea. somehow this did not interest us... ... i must say that the apparatus worked in a rather mediocre way, and the eavesdropping was conducted so shabbily, especially in the latter years of
RSM: I'm starting a motion to raise the salry fund as the two current Linux system admins are paid peanuts
RSM: I studied fast Fourier transforms and matrix manipulation as an under grad though so at least i can count
RSM: I want to move RSM trading potentially on to Counterparty, but afaik there's no way to ever halt trading if we want to move. Offtopic my speculation is that Etherum is taking so long as their trying to wait for side-chains possibly?
kakobrekla: dunno if we should all switch to colon or make search use comma to parse 'to' as well
Mats_cd03: be forewarned, asset-ers are not friendly to mining ventures as a general rule
Mats_cd03: This is the subtle shift: what starts out as "misogyny is bad" becomes "anonymity facilitates misogyny."
justusranvier: As long as you've got a buyer hidden somewhere with (effectively) infinately-deep pockets, then they can just put out RFQs and let it appear as if the "free market" has spontaneously formed an industry.
justusranvier: So if it's not possible for them to legitmately generate profits, and they continue to as business, then at some point the most plausible explaination is their profit somes from some other source
mircea_popescu: "if you gave us all this money for nothing, now here's 3x as much nothing"
justusranvier: mircea_popescu: As you said, the business model on it's face is retarded. There's no way it could legitimately generate a profit.
justusranvier: As long as he keeps getting more people to voluntarily give him their data, he keeps getting paid
justusranvier: The spooks want Total Information Awareness. Zuckerberg is paid to get as many people as possible to opt in to surveillance.
mircea_popescu: According to a TechCrunch article, Zuckerberg's vision for Internet.org was as follows: "The idea, he said, is to develop a group of basic internet services that would be free of charge to use – 'a 911 for the internet.' These could be a social networking service like Facebook, a messaging service, maybe search and other things like weather. Providing a bundle of these free of charge to users will work like a gateway
mircea_popescu: "“I have been in this business for over 43 years, yet I do not ever recall getting as slammed with the same email as many times as I have about"
cuwirebeard: And just as govts burn(ed) books theyll burn...internets!
ThickAsThieves: it wont be long before TV is computer and channels are websites, etc, just as netflix gains ground, theyll gain competition from all over
mircea_popescu: mike_c you know what tried that ? the original company hiring the pierce muppet as a male twink escort.
ThickAsThieves: they justw wont grow as quickly as market wants

kakobrekla: >due to my affiliation with something that could be irrationally misconstrued as a security < got that shit right.
kakobrekla: >I'm not unable. I'm unwilling. There is a difference. I won't bother you with details of licenses and fiduciary duties, blah, blah, blah... Instead I will just say that any recommendation I gave could be viewed as a conflict of interest due to my affiliation with something that could be irrationally misconstrued as a security. Therefore, I am not willing to give you a recommendation on a specific investment, only to educate you so th
ThickAsThieves: as the GoPro IPO was today
moiety: thanks. i hope it's enough. i was trying to be as connected as possible over the move.
ThickAsThieves: but i think TSLA can be had at cheaper prices as all
pankkake: care, as in fuck?
mircea_popescu: a free man is exactly NOT the guy who has to make a deal as to anything with anyone. none of this "to fly on the plane you must turn off your portable perfume dispenser" bs.
mircea_popescu: just like an artisan is exactly NOT the guy who has a three ring binder telling him how to move and what shovel to use when, as per company policy
