mircea_popescu: Shame on me for continually pointing out
this community’s obsession over being
the “glorious master race” of online discussion whilst poo-pooing
the cesspools of “filthy casuals” like Reddit or, god forbid, Slashdot.
mircea_popescu: o wait, because basically both hn and reddit are owned by
the same dead media conglomerate is it
mircea_popescu: "I was recently met with a
torrent of downvotes –nearly 100, might have actually crossed
that– for poking fun at HN’s incessant we’re-not-reddit-we’re-much-more-sophisticated circlejerking"

Tungsten Will Melt in Your Mouth!
mircea_popescu: "It was autodeaded, presumably because of my use of
the
term “circlejerk,” which HN is quite sensitive
to."
mircea_popescu: dj fired him last year
turns out, he started
this recode
thing january
mike_c: this could be like oprah leaving cable. he's not bigger
than
the journal.
mircea_popescu: speech
that brings forth
the cognitive dissonance one's priors suffer at
the hands of reality is
trolling
mircea_popescu: speech
that conforms
to one's priors is freedom of speech
mircea_popescu: "Reddit seems
to be one of
the only places you can have
true freedom of speech on
the internet, and it
thrives
thanks
to it. "
mircea_popescu: well, inasmuch as zombie is allowed
to continue
to exist, zombie is well advised
to not be
too critical of
the decay process.
mircea_popescu: assbot> » Leaving Hacker News ASPENSMONSTER << all
these important
things i've missed out on while doing other
things.
benkay: <mircea_popescu> Mats_cd03: benkay is a queen << ahahaha
they got yo numba nao vulpes. // y'all ain't even seen me in my heels yet
mircea_popescu: i peripherally noticed
there's yet another one of
these web platform shits.
mircea_popescu: o
that's what
that recode shit coming out of nowhere is
mircea_popescu: it has disadvantages in place of all
the advantages, and no redeeming advantages whatsoever
mircea_popescu: in point of fact, hellbanning is exactly
the opposite of
this chan's +m
mircea_popescu: "Another common criticism of
this practice has been
that while in
theory, it's a smart and effective way
to discourage
trolling, in actuality,
the
trolls and spammers are
the first
to become wise
to
this, and instead many innocent users get hurt, being unaware of what's going on."

BingoBoingo: Namworld: What, and let
the people who death ray'd his new MOBO death ray
the Pineapples!!!
Namworld: So... do we get
to know
the
total cost?
Namworld: Well I'd sure like
to know romania prices
mircea_popescu: mike_c he held
the
thing by
the fucking blade,
too. a 12 inch knife sharp enough
to slice beef on
touch
mircea_popescu: at it for 39 years, he said when asked. "and after
that long
time, you'd better be good at it or else you'd better had quit long ago"
mircea_popescu: and speaking of jewish deli, you should have seen
this butcher get
the steak off
the bone.
Namworld: Hmm, I guess I should consider
that. Downtown locations will be more expensive...
Namworld: Barring shopping at a place with higher quality products.
The outlets would need
to be similar in both place.
Namworld: They don't, but assuming a large amount of varied goods, probably rarely more difference
than 10%-15% for
the same stuff.
mircea_popescu: "This white paper seeks
to put forth
the economic and
technical reasons
that
the digital
tokens known as “AppCoins” can develop a value in
the market and maintain
their value over
the long
term, should
their associated application gain adoption by users. "
mircea_popescu: the notion
that
the us has
the same prices all around boggles my mind.
mircea_popescu: worchestershire (known here as "salsa inglesa")
they were out of
Namworld: ok,
then... I'd put cost closer
to 150-180 USD
then...
mthreat: not by name.. where's
that one?
mthreat: cab fare around 150 pesos, unless stuck in lots of
traffic
mircea_popescu: no, 15km is
the whole round
trip. market is like 5ish miles away
mike_c: i could only guess at
the cab ride. i'm a better cook
than benkay but
that's about it.
mircea_popescu: mike_c:
tapes are $20 /
TB. can't beat
that with a stick. << quite
true.
Namworld: 300 USD? Sounds a bit
too high. Even for Canada/US
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03: benkay is a queen << ahahaha
they got yo numba nao vulpes.

mircea_popescu: gonna paste
the list in here, anyone's welcome
to guess either us, romania or buenos aires prices for
the lot
mircea_popescu: admitting against all evidence
that
there even exists a distinmction between stupid and poor.
mircea_popescu: it just implies "accessibility" is about as dumb a
thing
to
think about re bitcoin as you know, speeding
tickets for snails.
benkay: and weren't you just harping on
the upsides
to a size-constrained block? more competition for limited resources?
benkay: so
this implies a rather hard fork.
mircea_popescu: now, 4k
txn / second is nothing if you srsly aspire
to be visa.
mircea_popescu: benkay " let me know when it's realistic." << let me explain realistic. if
there's 4k
txn a second, which weigh a conservative 512 bytes each, at 512 seconds per block you get...
benkay: the negros were pretty hxc back in
the day, non?
mircea_popescu: <benkay> asciilifeform, dub: almost needless
to point out by now, but
the buenos aires public wall paintings are better
than anything
the NYC scene has cranked out since...forever. <<
this is
true.
benkay: although i haven't found
the signing functionality in bitc yet - mebbe Mats_cd03 makes
that happen
benkay: yeah, jurov pointed out
that it's not actually dependent on
the bc
mircea_popescu: btw, "coinbr requires btc addr
to sign up i b'leev" << so what if it does ? once you're in you can
trade with anyone else in.
benkay: asciilifeform, dub: almost needless
to point out by now, but
the buenos aires public wall paintings are better
than anything
the NYC scene has cranked out since...forever.
mircea_popescu: jurov: lol
they will find lung and liver fossilies, bones long gone? <<
this is likely lol
