RagnarDanneskjol: none prior
to our conversation - last I read brock's name was
the press releases in May indicating he was refusing resignation
BingoBoingo: lol, I'm drunk. How much of
the conversation on
this bet and
the BTC Foundation's site
thus far and
their interaction have you read on?
RagnarDanneskjol: i know i lack
the eloquence of some of
the big brains in here, but didnt
think my grammers were
that bad
BingoBoingo: So RagnarDanneskjol How much of
the conversation on
this bet and
the BTC Foundation's site
thus far?
BingoBoingo: I'd really like
those coins in
the short
term, but what does
the Brock bet resolution imply in
the long
term
BingoBoingo: RagnarDanneskjol: Let's
take
this debate in chan
BingoBoingo wonders how long eizodo can
try
to carry on a conversation in nick changes before angering assbot
BingoBoingo: eizodo: You realize all of
these nick changes are
totally visible, yes?
BingoBoingo: I've never had
trouble finding buyers and sellers on -otc before, but nao
that FBI/Treasury has visited who knows
RagnarDanneskjol: i have some local buyers/sellers I can introduce you
to punk -
they are
the best i have found in
the business
punkman: but which one
to choose...
punkman: seems like I need
to get myself on an exchange, can't buy shit on -otc
BingoBoingo: RagnarDanneskjol: If you don't have apsychiatric interest it isn't
the most fruitful
time expendature
RagnarDanneskjol: i
think I recall some of
the hysteria. will investigate into further
BingoBoingo: It's on
the forum. Dank's
the sort of crazy us respectable crazy's abhor.
BingoBoingo: What amazes me is how many of
these gems live in so many places
X-Rob: probably not
that impressive now. But it was
then!
X-Rob: BingoBoingo: It's amusing
that
the single 'LDIR' Z80 opcode
took until SSE2
to be duplicated. 1 clock cycle
to move any 8 bit chunk of memory around.
BingoBoingo: X-Rob: I had an interupted workflow not
that long ago over a Mac SE/30 failure.
X-Rob: I have a pile of
TRS-80's, prior
to
the colour computer.
X-Rob: BingoBoingo: Z80 would be my favourite, as
that's what I grew up with. I actually collect vintage computers.

BingoBoingo: Soy is
the second worst fate. At least you aren't stuck on dent corn.
mircea_popescu: what in
the actual fuck,
that's possibly
the worst pr0n name i ever heard.
mircea_popescu: (beef here is still
the best in
the world, no arguments possible - and yes i've lived in
texas etc)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo well let's see. argentine beef is world famous.
they managed
to lose most of
their exporting contracts on
the purely economic grounds of not managing
to meet
their minimal quotas.

Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: gernika im not so sure
that colonialism ->
tech
transfer
thing is worth anything.
decimation: gernika: I would note
that
the 'returned slaves' immediately began
to enslave
the locals and run plantations of
their own
gernika: mircea_popescu ok I
think I see your point,
though it seems like colonialism within Africa would have been more influential in
transferring
technology, especially in Rhodesia, from where very few slaves probably originated or
to where
the educated descendants may have returned. Sierra Leone and Liberia, where a lot of descendants of slaves actually returned
to are serious shit holes.
decimation: I would
think
the presumption would be
that none of
the board members are directors in
the sense of holding management positions
decimation: I
thought
the whole idea of 'boards' in us corporate law is
to create a body
that is independent of
the management
mircea_popescu: nowadays... one wants
to get on
the board and
this is presumed
to make
them a "director". over what ? heh.
mircea_popescu: well...
the problem is deeper
than
that.
they're already combating sense by changing labels.
take
the board of directors : one used
to have
tro be a director first
to be on
that board.
BingoBoingo: It may be
the way of
the future
that
tards start combating BitBet by changing labels.
BingoBoingo: I feel comfortable
though disclosing 1A8CEYzN75pCztEb9VmZg7ATFTtLmNS3qU was
the address for my bet, HI AGENT BROACHWALA!!!11!!
BingoBoingo: The foundation may be
trying
to set a
trap, where
they assume board member should be assumed as a director on
the board. In spite of
that abusing
the definition of both board and director
decimation: yeah an alternative explanation is
that
the upgrade was actually a downgrade
BingoBoingo: I mean
they are presenting
these people as something
they weren't when
the bet was opened.
mircea_popescu: im not buying
this "so
they suddenly became greenhorns" argument.
mircea_popescu: "The
three pilots in
the cockpit had a combined 10,000 hours of flying
time in
the C-5, and were backed by
two flight engineers with a combined 12,000 hours in
the air. "
BingoBoingo: Maybe get some pedo wiki lawyers on
this case?
cazalla: why is bobby lee not still a director
then
BingoBoingo: I mean I am no where near as confident on
this argument as when I Bitbet lawyered my way
to a righteous win on S.DICE vs. S.BBET however
this seems
to instead harken back
to luke-jr's BFL miner.
mircea_popescu: for all
the retarded nitpicks
that make
their way into bitbet comments...
mircea_popescu: cazalla i find it distinctly riodiculous
that nobody pointed
this out prior.
cazalla: way back when shows
those vacant seats as board members not directors
BingoBoingo: I mean I'm not correcting attrocious sentences on my blog using
the grounds
that
text is sacred.
mircea_popescu: maybe
the result ios a "this website is merely informational" disclaimer. as if lol.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
To be fair I have great gains
to make if
the bet is resolved as yes, but... if such resolution makes muppets begin
treating web documents as documents of record when
they publich and maintain
them...
that would be a plus.
cazalla: well look, bobby lee is named board member as well yet
they were elected
to same role
BingoBoingo: The precendent where Brock looses
this bet on web design grounds could set a great precedent
mircea_popescu: imagiune
there wasn't a massive african diaspora in
the us. how would rhodesia have looked ?
mircea_popescu: gernika land in africa is just as valuable as land in
the midwest, as far as land goes.
gernika: mircea_popescu dead. I mean subsaharan africans
though.
mircea_popescu: cazalla yeah. right. so many punks grow up
to be shadowlords.
BingoBoingo: Still it looks like Brock could lose
this bet on webdesign points
mircea_popescu: (and by any measures it WAS a great nation. greater
than say,
that-time italy)
cazalla: maybe it's like casino whereby brock says he is food and beverage director but really about
the only
thing he directed was
the casino
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
This is what happens when your first computer is an actual mac in 2000-2001
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo interesting poin
tre appleos stuff. i never followed it any so i had no clue.
BingoBoingo: Honestly an questionable interpretation may be
they went from a board of directors
to a board of members... odd presentation question, maybe leading
to a
trap, but
totes niggarific
gernika: I'm not understanding
the argument
that, shall we say,
the less fair skinned would be extinct if not
transported
to
the americas. Seems
to me like
there are more deadly diseases originating from Africa
that kill whites
than
the other way around. Whites
trying
to settle Africa near
the equator died like
tsetse flies.
cazalla: did he resign or do it willingly
though
BingoBoingo: It really seems
that
their entire structure changed
to confound
the bet
decimation: or
that 10 btc is enough
to motivate changing
their 'structure'
mircea_popescu: that
the only point at which anyone notices
this is when a bitbet mod
tries
to close a bitbet bet.
mircea_popescu: s a funny
testament
to both his and
their relative importance
cazalla: sounds fair
tbh,
they must've done it on
the sly not
to bring attention
to him
cazalla: wtf bitbet scam
this is like
the bfl bet
mircea_popescu: im going
to have
that as a yes, sometime
tomorrow. if anyone wants
to make an argument... you got about a day.
BingoBoingo: Mac OS (which roughly excludes
things with version numbers greater
than 7.1) did
this
thing where options presented graphically reflected machine state. 7.5.1 and later along with
the OS X bastard begin
the breaking of correspondence with... nigger fingers
