Kamuela: mircea_popescu: also honestly i don't remember what
that was in reference
to, exactly lmao
mircea_popescu: sort-of like mentioning partying
to a 15yo and letting
them spill.
Kamuela: mircea_popescu: you've only pinged me once in
the last few moments of
time, so i'm asking you both about what you meant by dissonant and what was wrong with
that statement
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: Seriously
the kept saying suggesting everything in

them"

to hope it gets votes
assbot: Bitcoin User
tells of Interview by FBI and
Treasury Department - Slashdot
Kamuela: well, I mean you attacked my philosophies, ideas, accomplishments, and character in about 20 nonstop minutes, man. i'm sorry i didn't pass another
test of yours by remaining fully collected...
mircea_popescu: jborkl i
think everyone gets more
traffic from yandex
than bing.
mircea_popescu: they're fucking quotes.
the point here being
that i comfortably define myself in
the
terms of
the would-be insults various folk
tried
to
tack on over
the years.
the years of me being and
their coming and going. whereas you're stuck aspirationally
trying
to add labels
to yourself. it's a fundamental difference at work.
pete_dushenski: "Korean bitcoin exchange Korbit has raised $3 million in Series A funding led by SoftBank Ventures Korea and Pantera Capital, with participation from BAM Ventures, and returning investors Bitcoin Opportunity Corp.,
Tim Draper, Pietro Dova, and Strong Ventures."
jborkl: yes, I got something wrong
there
gribble: Kamuela, you need
to be defined in
the WoT in order
to accomplish something (eregister <nick> <keyid>) -- Register your GPG identity, associating GPG key <keyid> with <nick>. <keyid> is a 16 digit key id, with or without
the '0x' prefix. We look on servers listed in 'plugins.GPG.keyservers' config. You will be given a link
to a page which contains a one
time password encrypted with (1 more message)
danielpbarron: ;;echo Kamuela, you need
to be defined in
the WoT in order
to accomplish something [eregister]
jborkl: oh and
the Orangecat post did very poor, so maybe I needed a picture of a funny cat
jborkl: and I get more
traffic from Yandex
than Bing
Kamuela: but it's fine because value is subjective and i know
that whatever i accomplish or don't accomplish won't need
to be arbitrarily defined by you, mircea_popescu
X-Rob: mircea_popescu: I do
TRY
to keep it online. I just feel bad for
that outage.
The good news is
that in
that outage I rebuilt both power distribution boards, so hopefully it shouldn't be needed again.
jborkl: all
the ones from france are probably pankaake
BingoBoingo: <Kamuela> may be ad hominem, not sure << Every label sounds like an ad hominem unless you have read and digested
the historical context.
Kamuela: you're making me realize, for example,
that
the road
to finish
this is an uphill one
jborkl: mircea- some interesting stats
top 10 visits us,ca,hk,nl,au,by,gb,fr,de,ru,cn
Kamuela: though i suppose no one agreed
this was a debate. you're just
talking
Kamuela: i apologize for not knowing all
the
terms, but you are committing
the fallacy known as "name-calling"
Kamuela: at least hold yourself
to
the same standard
jurov: what's pseudointellectual in asking you
to show
the world
the MVP before asking anyone anything?
Kamuela: look, doing for
the sake of doing. just expressing. building. being steve wozniak. it's beautiful and i completely agree with you
Kamuela: well another way I'm contributing, I suppose, is moving resources
to
their highest valued use
mircea_popescu: X-Rob im not going
to bother with a coupla cents, just make sure
the
thing stays online.
Kamuela: who
told you i didn't code?
X-Rob: mircea_popescu: I
think it's fair, looking at
the outage, if you just make it 0.2 rather
than 0.22 for
this week.
mircea_popescu: you designed, as in, software architecture. db models and whatnot.
tho you don't code ?
Kamuela: you're just a little bit of a marxist...
that's cool... i mean, i don't prefer it, but you are welcome
to your own opinion
Kamuela: no,
this is like ensuring a house doesn't fall down by having blueprints drawn up before you put
the pieces
together
mircea_popescu: this is like having painted
the wall of
the unbuilt house innit ?
Kamuela: and yet having
the build done by a
team
that's better and uses
time more effectively
than i can
Kamuela: mircea_popescu: how is
that a strawman?
mircea_popescu: Kamuela no, but you're welcome
to
that strawman if you wish.
Kamuela: so if a
task requires more
than yourself, are you actually saying
that hiring someone is being some kind of lazy ass
jurov: Kamuela, 90% of freelancer is web scraping and php plodding stuff. You can't combine
this model with bitcoin economy, it needs something fundamentally else at
this stage.
Kamuela: according
to your own logic
mircea_popescu: i guess i could be
the plumber's manager for as long as i stfu and don't go much in
the way.
Kamuela: you're looking at me and saying
that my skill in knowing how
to accomplish EVERYTHING involved but simply not DOING everything involved is meaningless
