ThickAsThieves: "The Foundation never once warned Bitcoin investors about keeping deposits in Mt. Gox, despite clear red flags dating back to at least April 2013. Nor did the Foundation craft or advocate for best practices such as technical transparency, deposit audits, or appropriate consumer protection disclosures. This was a colossal failure of leadership."
ThickAsThieves: BFL "Unfortunately to go with the good news is the announcement of a 4 week delay as of today's date."
mircea_popescu: There is an investment postscript in our textile saga. Some investors weight book value heavily in their stock-buying decisions (as I, in my early years, did myself). And some economists and academicians believe replacement values are of considerable importance in calculating an appropriate price level for the stock market as a whole. Those of both persuasions would have received an education at the auction we held
mircea_popescu: it's almost as if you were eccentric enough to baptise sticks of salami
cazalla: or perhaps i am biased as i use to follow it
mircea_popescu: cazalla ok, so what's your guess as to why ?
BingoBoingo: ;;later tell asciilifeform, well Bitcoin was originally released as a Windows build and source
btclovernick: e to reclaim or retrieve these funds, as they've been sent outside of Coinbase and are irreversible transfers. Whoever withdrew these did leave a trail however, and logged the IP addresses 93.174.90.30, 212.227.102.198, and 37.221.171.236 in our system.
asciilifeform: '... Comrade Ogilvy, unimagined an hour ago, was now a fact. It struck him as curious that you could create dead men but not living ones. Comrade Ogilvy, who had never existed in the present, now existed in the past, and when once the act of forgery was forgotten, he would exist just as authentically, and upon the same evidence, as Charlemagne or Julius Caesar.' ☟︎
asciilifeform: was no such person as Comrade Ogilvy, but a few lines of print
asciilifeform: and death he held up as an example worthy to be followed. Today
asciilifeform: as it were, the image of a certain Comrade Ogilvy, who had

nubbins`: "I respectfully disagree with your opinion that the 'cockpit,' (we now call it the flight deck as no cocks are required), is no place for a lady. In fact, there are no places that are not for ladies anymore."
ThickAsThieves: i dont think it's quite the same as CNN/sites/
asciilifeform: 'skull of voltaire as a child'
mircea_popescu: there are also two individuals legally named satoshi nakamoto, one presenting himself as satoshi, the other being presented by newsweek as satoshi
mircea_popescu: "If you come out as the leader of Bitcoin, now you have to make appearances and presentations and comments to the press and that didn't really fit with Satoshi's personality,"
mircea_popescu: as scummy as it gets.
mircea_popescu: Then he told Nakamoto he'd accepted an invitation to speak at the Central Intelligence Agency headquarters. "I hope that by talking directly to them and, more importantly, listening to their questions/concerns, they will think of Bitcoin the way I do - as a just-plain-better, more efficient, less-subject-to-political-whims money," he said. "Not as an all-powerful black-market tool that will be used by anarchists to ove
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that https://static.pinboard.in/webstock_2014.htm is at least fucking ideologically bizarre. they represent electrification as this obscure political strategy move, when it's quite obvious the thing proceeded on economic rationale.

mircea_popescu: this would necessarily result in them listing a different set of txns from the actual set as found on the actual chain
mircea_popescu: dexX7 the logic here is as follows :
mircea_popescu: you mean the hash of the block as reported then matches the hash as reported now ?!
reeses_: but it's not as prestigious now, although it would still have been when he was in school
reeses_: yeah, working my way through the docs right now as well
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic but on the topic of making a name for oneself, know who tried that ? a certain dr. gleason. he tried to make a name for himself as not being a contemptible piece of shit. he was convicted, eventually, and then killed himself.
midnightmagic: I'm just saying, as much as it's possible to know such things, physical pain or even physical discomfort versus non-physical discipline tactics: the physical discipline is not as effective.
mircea_popescu: it's about as good as us epidemiological data, that crap.
mircea_popescu: but as an exercise : consider whether you're randomly lumping together beating children with simple abuse, as a sort of strawman argument.
jurov: well, once you keep yourself clean other people can start to smell horribly (applies to stupidity as well)
mircea_popescu: "whoever loves you loves you as you are" and all that.
mircea_popescu: B007 yes, it will continue. not even strictly of habit, as chetty says. take washing : once you get used to your smell when you're clean, you're not likely to stop washing.
BingoBoingo: Oh, so many problems here as well http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/medical_examiner/2014/03/salmonella_and_raw_eggs_how_i_ve_eaten_tons_of_cookie_dough_and_never_gotten.html Bedtime though

mircea_popescu: Q: What stands out at you as being incorrect?

mircea_popescu: this is actually a bit of a problem, people can sit down at their computer drunk as fuck and think hye, gamble my whole wallet on dice!
benkay: Scold me, spit at me, and express all of your feelings. Use all the filthy words as you can. Once you have done, your mind is filtered out with all the frustrations.
Namworld: High as fuck?
BingoBoingo: As a mentioned a while ago the best reason to bet on an outcome is to make the watching it more enjoyable
BingoBoingo: Gambling as entertainment and Gambling as pseudo-investment are very different things.
mircea_popescu: write for yourself, as your own thing. think of it as picking up women : you don't puick up women by picking up women, you pick up women by doing *any other thing*
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo by the way, an important point : the reason the "media" sucks is not that they've sold out or follow external policies or w/e. it's that they are writing WITH THEIR READER IN MIND. the former then flows from this naturally, but it does not make a difference if you write with the reader in mind so as to advertise to it, or save its soul or merely inform it. it's all the same, and it's wrong.
mircea_popescu: in the us tho, it's backwards, they do it as a joint venture. so are there no males in that country over the mental age of ~17 or what the fuck ?
mircea_popescu: "and do you watch seinfeld ?" "yes i do!" "do you understand anything ?" "well as much as anyone on the forum ever understands of what's going on before their eyes
mircea_popescu: which, as you pointed out, is real fucking smart. and now he actually responds.

ThickAsThieves: "And, so long as Shavers has an internet connection, he will be in a position where future violations could be anticipated"
BingoBoingo: copumpkin: I know, but the scenario submitted some hours ago where asciilifeform clears the entire court docket because of poor signatures isn't a think we might as well read what is entering the court records as they presently exist
BingoBoingo: Thermos because when you fuck up that much, you don't get the privilege of presenting yourself as an exemplar of Classic Greek values like sodomy
Apocalyptic: as Thermos with the "r" ?
BingoBoingo: No one believe's Goat's name is Chaang Noi, but he proceeds as certain as does only remembering James of James Gibson
BingoBoingo: Well, Moustakiswas the one to Bring up Gibson's last name, and the cubby white kid known as Goat is only refered to as Chaang Noi as far as I have made it so far.
copumpkin: this thing is long as fuck
copumpkin: not as far as I remember

ThickAsThieves: or even say, if Bitstamp is no longer trading 500btc per day, then this bet resolves as No
BingoBoingo: Well, the WSJ is blacklisted as is Coinmarket.BBQ
asciilifeform: more or less unreadable - as they tend to be, using 1000s of terms known only to the dead man
cazalla: in the binders full of crackpot writings as you mentioned
jborkl: Went to the bitcoin conference today, figured might as well since it is here at home
