ThickAsThieves: like Sims as an mmporg?
ThickAsThieves: it's sorta like Civilizations as an mmporg?
mircea_popescu: these are very different, even if cyberneticists keep wanting to represent the brain as a computor.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i guess the one true gain from this discussion is a lesson as to how downing people may be bad for debate and the marketplace of ideas.
mircea_popescu: "Leading toilet maker Toto refers to itself as the Apple of toilet tech." mwahaha
skinnkavaj: They told that Rockminer would have to buy chips from Asicminer at the same price as everyone else

ThickAsThieves: but it's a bit unethical to paint yourself as an np
ThickAsThieves: but arent actually filed as one
chetty: ThickAsThieves, maybe publish them as open questions?
davout: "It can classified us a Market player with higher audience as the others, and we understand that some jealous people do not see this with many pleasure."
mircea_popescu: princessnell ah come on, woman is dumb as rocks.

benkay: that's not an acceleration nearly as much as it is a prolonging of imminent demise

nubbins`: rent/mortgage is 30% higher than south of 60, as well
asciilifeform: one other thing about housing in usa - that is rarely spoken of in the open literature - is that the americans switched to housing price as a means of putting the '60-70s race wars on hold ☟︎
asciilifeform: as mp pointed out some time last week, dynamiting the permafrost to lay foundations is costly, etc.
asciilifeform: for so long as the racket of letting an average salaried schmuck borrow $MAXINT to repay for the rest of his life - the price floor will remain.
mircea_popescu: "@kristathomas Don't Be Right And Don't Ask Why: Essential Ingredients For Building A Team" << lol. just as long as your "team"'s not supposed to be apple.
mircea_popescu: if nipple piercings ensured the women carrying them will be used as fucktoys, giving away free cool nipple piercings would not be giving away any product either
mircea_popescu: Imagine that every car maker save for Toyota insisted on using the infamous East German Trabant as a standard of quality – yet blindly imitated random elements of Toyota’s visual design. How long would it take for the whiners to appear on the scene and start making noises about monopolistic tyranny?

danielpbarron: mircea_popescu, if the price in BTC is going to change as the price of BTC changes, then wouldn't buying credits be like buying into FIAT (shorting BTC)?

mircea_popescu: " Designed as a 21st century reincarnation of GeoCities, Neocities lets you make your own site for free. And it just might spark a renaissance of creativity online. "
fluffypony: bounce:amazingly, still so many project managers that haven't read _The Mythical Man-Month_ <- they should have that as required reading in school, yo
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves seriously, my call is that you've been identified as pork, and you are being farmed.
Naphex: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/254pv8/the_bitcoin_foundation_must_remove_satoshi_as/
mircea_popescu: calculating the % off from reality left as an exercise to the commenter.
mircea_popescu: if the dividend was 0.9 it'd be reported as 0
jurov: you publish dividend as 19 satoshi
jurov: despite being published as such
jurov: mike_c: i don't know nearly as much as i wish
asciilifeform: benkay: as described in my post (linked earlier.) it is easiest to ignore apple when one has no need for portable computer (i think it was mp, and a few others, who noted that they never needed a laptop)
benkay: but client didn't care to pay for a new stack - would rather throw 4x as much at the old stack.

ThickAsThieves: <+thestringpuller> ThickAsThieves wtf, am I going to become old like you? /// you will never be as old as me, sorry

fluffypony: Naphex: so push it as a BIP and get comments on it
mike_c: fluffypony: leave it as is, and tell TaT to comment on it if he doesn't like it
ThickAsThieves: with the convenience be speed, false sense of security, or ignorance as bliss
ThickAsThieves: yeah my point wa a customer can make as many sacrfices as they like to protect their own convenieneces
ThickAsThieves: also, yknow your Coinbase thinks America is Important section mostly serves as data showing how US is important
mike_c: kinda like if you treat bitbet as a last-second bitcoin faucet.
Apocalyptic: as old as coinbase itself
BigBitz: This, too, is antithetical to Bitcoin, but also flies in the face of all logic. Why layer the fees on to ordinary users that could be sending Bitcoin to their mom or their sick cousin? Why not let the merchants carry the cost, since they can write the fees off as a cost-of-doing-business?
fluffypony: BigBitz: ah ok - I'll add that in as a sidebar
pankkake: jobs sold the ipad to the press, as the thing that would save them
fluffypony: I actually don't know how mpoe-pr/hanbot lasted as long as she did without quitting, I wouldn't have lasted more than a month
mircea_popescu: somehow they think the strategy involved is not transparent as glass, i have no idea why.
fluffypony: you could bury the money as cash in the ground and dig it up over 5 years
fluffypony: "robot servant in channel responds as follows"
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: you mean the crowd that self-identify as "ibankers" ? :-P
mircea_popescu: muisti = cocksuckers in romanian. a very economic language, needs fewer letters for the concept. also reflective of the fact that romanian women are on average better trained & moar experienced with it so it doesn't take as long.
mircea_popescu: time to start seriously discussing the irrelevance of the world bank. perhaps it's time it just goes away, as it has little chance of being folded into mpex.
pankkake: eh, you have the same success rate as me yesterday

tim-tams: "this" as in the sponsorship?
decimation: http://lionoftheblogosphere.wordpress.com/2014/04/30/robots-and-restaurants/ When rich people do go out to eat, they will not want to be served by robots, so high-end restaurants will still have human waitstaff. As I?ve pointed out before, many people who aren?t born rich will only be able to make money if they have the ability to entertain the rich or make them feel good about themselves.
decimation: as long as none of the objects in the area have the evil ports, the security gods shall be pleased and grant us the anti-snowden

mircea_popescu: also this line appears in the log as #666555
mircea_popescu: so i've been having this weeklong discussion with this polish economist guy. the results are the most fucking improbable shit. for instance... i just comitted to the proposition that there's no such thing as "fixed income" and the whole class is nonsense.
mircea_popescu: ::rate fluffypony -1 has no inkling of a clue as to what time management is
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sense | something you can make, but only if you are born with it, althoug everyone has 5, some people can have 6 or more as well. You can also have a sense...
asciilifeform misread as 'fleshlights'

fluffypony: "FEC, in ruling 6-0, says Bitcoin contribs to pol committees will be treated as in-kind contributions--same as stocks, other items of value."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform only select trades tho. as he said, it trade mags are a joke
fluffypony: yeah I faked the BitcoinBourse listing as well

mircea_popescu: davout do you know what's the last thing going through a fly's head as it crashes on the windshield ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the infantile worldview. there is no "my house" as far as teenagers go, just the place other people pay the mortgage on << i still think we're dealing with 'poverty of the spirit, not the flesh.' people fall for the 'cloud' crapola out of... sloth. don't wanna buy a disk, i'll use this stranger's. don't wanna find toilet, i'll shit where i stand. etc
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: initially, it's architected for other coins, so they'll be added as time progresses
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: yes - we structured it as: I own 50%, Peter owns 50%, we've diluted our shareholding (equally) for the IPO. he does all the work, I operate as chairman of the board (which currently consists of me and me alone, that will change later)
