mircea_popescu: people keep thinking woz was "the man behind". the sort of people who like to think that and therefore do are also the sort of people who never get anywhere "for no fault of their own".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform macintosh was showing the same steve jobs signature "actual positive roi media buying".
mircea_popescu: afaik the only known case of "positive roi from this activity over any kind of interval". otherwise sorta "pick pennies in front of steamroller" activity, countless trillions were wasted to date in the attempt.
mircea_popescu: media buying. apple survived by being a judicious media buying company.
☟︎ mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-31#1707760 << this is precisely why it doesn't exist : cuz people dun think it's a big deal per se, and so can't be bothered to do that before they actually build a disk device full of something they'd actually want replicated. which cuntoo isn't at yet. maybe just on the cusp, i guess.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: (do i have the right deGRasse account fossVERIFIED btw ? fat blondy ? or am i confusing ghosts.)
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel_p you probably made that point by telling some tanja lange she's fat, in what's becoming signature style.
mircea_popescu: while im not proposing to ~necessarily~ encourage misbehaviours in soldiers, a poorly disciplined troop is the responsibility of the commanding officer and no one else. so no, i dun think much of the quality of authority over there in this context.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel_p from their own lists it says it wasn't claimed or something.
mircea_popescu thinks he's had entirely too much fun this morning ; will bbl.
mircea_popescu: but then again, my "imo" is the producer's "imo", "imo you should be able to take that 9 incher up your ass, i've seen plenty of girls do it before." "that exact one ?" "well no" "up this exact ass ?" "well, you're new." "SO THEN!" "face down ass up already, time's money."
mircea_popescu: that's not even terribru. imo within "with-own-hands" territory, especially if there's readily ablatable low hanging fruit.
mircea_popescu: your notion that you can be a person outside of the wot is you know, exactly like cumdumpster bimbo's notion anyone notices, cares, or recalls.
mircea_popescu: that's also by definition. we actually don't attach identity to ghosts, liberally confuse them with each other, treat them as "a different" ghost whatever.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-31#1707469 << afaik this isn't supported by either theory or practice. the harm is exactly same. besides, what'd the negative harm attach to ? the lost identity can't confirm the losing by definition, and a different identity can't attach anything to the original also by definition. so...
☝︎ mircea_popescu: what's the loc count on this thing btw ? anyone has it ? submn ? supermn ?
mircea_popescu: he'll end up counting colored beads in boise, idaho and wondering why jc is following anyone to the toilet for the asking.
mircea_popescu: twelve year old boy gets a bike because otherwise the cool kids won't let him hang with them ; and if they do not his whole fucking life is forfeit, as a factual matter.
mircea_popescu: (but yes, the reason i even looked irrespective of that being on the table was the involved complexity and the expectation you're not actually speaking from atop it)
mircea_popescu: well, i had space for five words, what do you want from me.
mircea_popescu: (if you're interested by the literalism, "for merit" is one of two ways in which a case can be adjudicated. the other one is on form, such as through lack of standing, lack of jurisdiction, etcetera.)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform doesn't support it because he doesn't like the outer case limits of the design, esp re speed. i am not supporting it because i do not have any faith whatsoever in its financial soundness. you aren't supporting it because hm.
mircea_popescu: anyway, this makes 3 out of 3 not supporting this, and amusingly enough in each case for merits.
mircea_popescu: possibly not. language perhaps a factor. but i dun speak polish sadly.
mircea_popescu: phf basically what i take his notion to be re the problem is you know, "i'll just mp it", which may seem like a workable idea until one stops to notice that the original mp never actually attempted to guess prices.
mircea_popescu: had you $1,429,500 for bounties, would the per-quanta payment increase ? maybe to 11 ? 20 ? 100 ?
mircea_popescu: let's try. so at the moment you have $1,429 for bounties ; let's say the average bounty pays 10 dollars per quanta of "computer work", however defined.
mircea_popescu: would having more money at your disposal put an inflationary pressure on bounty levels ? ie, for "same work" (admitting for a moment there's such a thing as work-needed scalar) more money ? conversely, encountering headwinds/making little progress over time/decelerating would deflate bounties ?
mircea_popescu: jackdaniel so a major item of curiosity for me is how do you calculate the bounty values ?
mircea_popescu: jackdaniel dja know any of the fellows ? asciilifeform ? phf ?
mircea_popescu: they don't even have to be total country bumpkins, even a non-yokel would really love to live in washington!
mircea_popescu: cuz everyhone knows a girl really wants to be just like that dumbass "congressional aide" what was her name, mary tired or what.
mircea_popescu: can pretty much exactly follow "civilised" inferiority complex by what they whine re "corruption" in orcs.
mircea_popescu: im sure if ian smith's wife was hot as opposed to one of the anglo-dutch looking bags they'd have said the same.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform caribbean blue is no joke btw ; retards from argentina keep whining about their blue sky, but i just saw one today and there's no comparison.
mircea_popescu: fwiw this has been open problem in it management since about 1970.
mircea_popescu: (there's a lot of work went into this in eulora, i dunno if you've seen the various pricing threads. it's to my eyes a very interesting problem)
mircea_popescu: ok, but the problem of interest is how to compute something to end up with the magic number 150. or a replacement.
mircea_popescu: phf and other than "how do they calculate the bounties", are you supporting this ?
mircea_popescu: maybe he's scottish, cunt just means man in their lowlands gaelic.
mircea_popescu: hey phf you have any idea how they calculate the bounties ?
