to be broken
kakobrekla: with digital you have 1 and 0 and
thresholds
that compensate for your loss of precision

ThickAsThieves: sure it is, it's done in how he makes
the conversion fo audio in
the first place
ThickAsThieves: kakobrekla,
the audio is likely made in "high contrast" so it's analog smoothing doesnt affect
the data
mircea_popescu: but yes,
the reviewer's comment about "sharp around
the edges" suggests it's number-powered
kakobrekla: <punkman> on a lathe < i guess
that might work for digital data
assbot: Have
thirty buttcoins? Want
to
trade buttscoins for buttstock? Like poorly designed websites and complex instructions
to do simple
things?
THE FUTURE IS HERE! : Buttcoin
kakobrekla: how
the hell does he make
those vinyl records
mircea_popescu: it's really badly
titled which is what
threw me off originally. it's really
the counterpart
to my economic
theory piece, it should be "a complete
theory of sociology"
ThickAsThieves: i installed bitmessage once,
then i realized
there was no one
to
talk
to
mircea_popescu: fluffypony i was
thinking, "prolly fluff, he uses all
the weird
things" but
then i was like, give
the guy a break, don't say anything
jurov: they put
the bank on fire and fucking on
the stairs. me like.
ThickAsThieves: kinda cool if you imagine
the coin
to be one of
the dropped coins from
the failures i guess
ThickAsThieves: the art looks like a bunch of bitcoiners reaching
to escape
to bitcoin and failing
assbot: Kindle Voyage
Touch Screen E-Reader with Light
mircea_popescu: someone with a forum account please
to
tell klech guy he's cool and
to drop by.
punkman: got my posters from nubbins, but arsepost says
they'll need a couple of days
to locate
them...
mats_cd03: paper wallet gifts from
that weird nephew...
mircea_popescu: “This record was hand shaped and individually cut in real
time using a vintage 1940s Presto 75A recording lathe. It is a unique piece. It is not
the same as a
traditional pressed record. It was not made in a factory. It was hand carved from an 8ft sheet of polycarbonate plastic, shaped, sanded, waxed and cut in real
time by one person.”
mats_cd03: people spending btc
they dont want, etc.
mats_cd03: i can imagine post-xmas sales being a
thing
ThickAsThieves: they probably apply xmas sales bump proportionally
to bitcoin sales for projection
mircea_popescu: someone should figure out how
that projector works lol
mircea_popescu: i vaguely recall
their published btc sales figures were piddly, but w/e
peterl: tax
theory sounds good
to me
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves what do you mean weathered
the selloff ? you mean
they had a stock selloff or what ?
peterl: did
they actually mean revenue or is it profit?
mircea_popescu: kids, just won't stay out of
the fire for
the life of
them.
mircea_popescu: ouch. well
this chick's overbite... here's
the problem : before now when her pretentiousness flopped, it would have been just a young woman being naive. but now, with 4% of overstock REVENUE, if
the
thing flops she's just a failure.
ThickAsThieves: tho i still
think bitcoingirl should just
take up a career in playing a dame in movies
ThickAsThieves: "Overstock has initially selected
the Chamber of Digital Commerce"
ThickAsThieves: accounting dept days "hey you know
those btc you are retaining,
they are plummeting" "well donate
that shit so we can write it off!"
mircea_popescu: punkman sure, but no guarantee is made both
their mother and grandmother was heavy bosomed.
punkman: mircea_popescu: but
their name's Beaumont, it runs in
the family
mircea_popescu: this is pretty much
the only good way
to pander
to your readership, and yes
they can
tell.
ThickAsThieves: "Overstock
to Donate 4% of Bitcoin Revenue
to Foundations Advocating Cryptocurrency Adoption"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "I've at
this point given up at editing any of
the
text at all. " <<
this is often a clue
the whole
thing is not worth publishing, as painful as may be. ie, if one guy can't be bothered
to spend an extra minute on
the strength of
the material,
there's cause
to believe a
thousand readers shouldn't be asked
to spend
that one second it
takes
them
to decide
they don't want it.
mircea_popescu: course
the sub should qualify
the homo not
the preposition. subhominem addack or something.

mircea_popescu: punkman: some quotes I saved: "actually
tbh i would make people money except i cant be bothered, i dont really wanna make anyone rich
to get more money myself, id rather just chill in my room and drink cider and
think up new ideas" <<< i'm saving
this one for
the next
time some derp comes up with "a billionaire dude would never hang out in irc with us rubes"
mircea_popescu: there's not just one, female inherited factor.
there's at least
three, of which at least one skips a generation.
mircea_popescu: punkman: close, 3 have big
tits << depends on whether we accept some particular notions as
to
the genetics
that cause big
tits dunnit ?
xmj: punkman: i liked
the one on
the left in
the real world picture
xmj: punkman:
THATS BETTER
punkman: "i can actually get 10x or 100x pretty easily, done it before
Talisman, but if i
told you
then you would probably just
try and do it yourself and
thus wouldnt need me"

the moarrr guy?
punkman: a morning
teaser: You are sitting on an olive
tree, smoking some
tobacco, watching
the river.
The Beaumont sisters are having a swim and it's an even bet
that
the first
two
to come out of
the water will have big
tits. How many of
the sisters have small
tits?
cazalla: have a life
that is, choking sound is awful when we give him a new food
mircea_popescu: let
the kid choke once in a while, let
the woman have her own life once in a while.
cazalla: i can't cope with
the crying so it's easier
to
tell wife
to stay with him
mircea_popescu: well
the part of
their growth style may be
to be clingy, but it's supposed
to not work.
cazalla: why's
that? we were
told it's just part of
their growth style at
this age
to be clingy
assbot: Still Face Experiment: Dr. Edward

mircea_popescu: the famous uncanny valley of mixed race matrimony :
the least seen it is,
the more acceptable, and vice-versa.
mircea_popescu: in other news : aggregate advertising and dating data seems
to show
that a 50% increase in mixed race fantasy couples being displayed over 5 eyars corresponds
to a 50% increase in
the affinity for white women for white men, and reciprocal, and further a decrease for both black men -> white women and black wome -> white men and reciprocal.
BingoBoingo: Shame we can't ask moiety about
the local perspective
TheNewDeal: widening meaning
that more are going for uk?
mircea_popescu: "Women voting. A free and independent society. Choose one.
The choice between
the
two is rarely so obvious as
this,
though." an' stuff.
mircea_popescu: so apparently scottish women are 58% for uk, 42% for independence, and
the gap is widening
mircea_popescu: i can just conveniently cherrypick and laugh at
the people working in
the muck of it
