_popescu: psa : brie is THE omlette cheese.
mircea_popescu: mike
_c he didn't know you can rate in pm, most likely.
mike_c: ;;later tell pete
_dushenski I don't see a discrepancy. It updates nightly with the wot database dumps. So probably he changed the rating and btcalpha hadn't picked up the change yet.

_popescu: i don't want anything specific. but i will be keeping track of a large ammount of tiny indicators, because anything else results in exam-taking-training.

_popescu wrote something re: how he wants wot as a very fluid and informal animal that can't be 'optimized against'
trinque: ben
_vulpes | worst case scenario, unless the standard is verifiability, #bitcoin-jesters could cause all sortsa problems trying to federate their wot into this one. << I have pondered making deedbot- eat rss feeds *of deeds*; sounds applicable here

_popescu: You were the only toxic thing in that entire story. Hopefully your failure informs other women, at a young age when they confront the choice of whether to be sarah-sharp-toxic or productive members of society, and they choose to not be sarah-sharp-toxic.

_vulpes: imho (and i'm always wrong, it's cool bru) it should be possible to reconstruct the current state of the wot from a log of !rate's and !v's

_dushenski: and speaking of wowz and suches and muches and scamcoins, i just checked the chart for dogecoin and it's really surprisingly stable. also noted that $50-100k of the crap trades hands on a daily basis. then again, could be some dogederps trading with himself all day.

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-10-2015#1292160 << hot damn i have to start doing this. inquiring minds would love a list of List of People Kidnapped By MP This Week And What They Taught Him. also, does argentina actually have a dozen ppl worth mircea

adlai: pete
_dushenski: no, but some asset holders might've had hopes which were unrealizable over the required timeframe

_popescu: dividing the mkt cap by the mkt volume roughly yields the "empty hopes" factor.

_popescu does a dozen or more of these "so let me run this by you" citizen arrests things.

_popescu: yes! when i finally get home. a few hours from now.
gabrielradio: mircea
_popescu not really. thinking about it, it's kinda the same thing as sdice. choose odds, send btc, roll the dice. only with a much larger -ev

_popescu: o btw, do you have a reddit acct that's aged enough to make subreddits ?
mircea_popescu: ascii
_field no i meant, "sell it" as in, "convince me",.
assbot: Logged on 05-10-2015 06:05:19; mircea
_popescu: anyway, the ever more feverish pitch of desperation is lulzy. "sell bitcoin to me". dude... why the fuck would i be selling anything to you ? fuck you, your approval is not required, your desires don't matter, you're not being persuaded here. you're being raped. nobody gives a shit about your consent, let alone excitement to use bitcoin. you'll use it to survive, and marginally at that.
ascii_field: but unlike mircea
_popescu i sometimes have to vivisect it.
assbot: Logged on 05-10-2015 09:18:42; mircea
_popescu: but in general, what sort of information do you obtain by putting words in a box ? suppose you search for "chicken broth" and they explain to you it's a heavy fuel oil. do you believe that ?
mircea_popescu: diana
_coman that's the other thing. the odds of me giving two pre-compressed, freeze dried rat shits on the "article" of some random derp i dunno... hm.

_popescu: feels like home. perhaps someday there'll be a place outside the states I like more, but for now, this'll do

_popescu godin is more 'inspirer' than practical or pragmatic anything. he's the archetype of the popular 'business' genre

_popescu: omfg seth godin still exists.
http://sethgodin.typepad.com/icn.seths.head.png now a visibly old man, trying to stick to the orange background in a green shirt. practically speaking a parody of itself (not that it didn't start off as a parody - but by now it's not even intentional anymore).
