mircea_popescu: There was a young girl of Batonger who diddled herself with a conger. When asked how it feels
to be pleasured by eels she said, "Just like a man, only longer."
mircea_popescu: "1)
Truthiness is a
truth
that someone knows
to be
true with complete disregard for facts." << uh,
that's nonsense. we already have words
to describe
this, and quite refinedly so.
mircea_popescu: this is more like... "let me
tell you what i
think about astrophysics. i
think
there's a painted cardboard box around
the earth"
mircea_popescu: yeah but
that's more like, korean media reporting it's not fair
that korean football
team was defeated. or
that
the referee cheated when he didn't.
mircea_popescu: i get pissy at
the various us media "bitcoin experts", but really...
that's
the whole model.
their climatology experts are no better,
their political/financial analysts are no better, it';s just what it is. pay a monkey in sandwiches
to be on
tv.
mircea_popescu: the risk with showing humanity a cheaper way
to do anything is
that it'll fucking do it.
mircea_popescu: "come see what people who can't be employed
think about
things in
the fields
they can't be employed in"
mircea_popescu: radio died gracefully.
tv however seems
to die of a cocktail of venereal diseases.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony fucking hysterical. i was just reading
teh romanian online press.
their leads are epic, "our article x, read over 4k
times!" "this poll yields a 85% result

BingoBoingo: TomServo:
That
too, but
that's
too common sense
TomServo: BingoBoingo: I always
thought it had something
to do with
the aversion
to diesel.
BingoBoingo: TomServo: Also, maybe
Toyota views witholding
the Hilux from certain markets a for of arms control
BingoBoingo: TomServo: Well I'd speculate
that in
the US it is easy enough
to sell disposable consumer motor vehicles, so durability may not be much of a selling point
TomServo: BingoBoingo: I wonder
the same. If you have a
theory, I'd love
to hear it.
BingoBoingo wonders why
Toyota refuses
to sell
the Hilux Stateside

mircea_popescu: "o i know, let's get all
the disadvantages of skateboards, bikes and vans into a nice
tight package.
tight enough
to keep all
the advantages at bay"
mike_c: although i
think he recently fucked himself up in an atv accidant
mircea_popescu: mike_c ascii. nothing has changed, i promote
the same
things, work with
the same kinds of people...
mike_c: if you're looking for somebody smart i'd
try
to reach out
to phil laak. he's a famous poker player who is really into prop bets and has a very smart/analytical mind.
mike_c: well, what are you looking for? somebody with a random blog
that you could pay
to write an article? or somebody important who will write about it if it interests
them?
mircea_popescu: and besides, i'd rather pay bloggers
to write
than spend money on "advertising".
mircea_popescu: mike_c
tbh i don't care for fit past betting, inasmuch as bitcoin is
the bottleneck anyway
mike_c: probably some of
the big
time poker players would be good
targets.
mircea_popescu: it's really easy
to forget just how shitty google has become over
time, for as long as one sticks
to obscure
topics and generally
the long
tail.
mircea_popescu: i wanted
to have a few reputed voices look over
the berkshire bet for
their audience.
mircea_popescu: im shocked
there's no
trilema of gambling, seriously. considering
the piles of interest and
the shit on
tap, minimal ability would prolly earn someoine a living with less work
than a college degree requires.

assbot: Man made 180,000 from online betting scam, court is
told (From York Press)
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal a block has
to ellapse between when bet is proposed and when it's accepted. for
this reason
the poster's counter bet would come out in a different weight from his zeroconf
TheNewDeal: Couldn't someone make
two bets after
the bet was made, and by luck have
them confirmed in
the same block?
kakobrekla: all we care about is
the
total sum on
the address, always.
mircea_popescu: a it adds it all up ? and what, shows as inbound
the most recent ?
kakobrekla: zeroconf can be in front of house bets. <
this happens if house bets are not confirmed in first block.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla
technically one can make 500 zeroconf bets by sending
to
the same addy
mircea_popescu: you generally see
two bets on
the highest weight,
they're
the house bets. if
there's
three, one's
the bet proponent zeroconf.
jurov: no, house bets are only
the initial 0.1 ones
