decimation: it seems that if you claimed to be a german prince today you would have a mob of kids appear. They would loudly explain why they aren'
t going to have sex with you, play golf against you, and then exhibit hate for you in the form of a interpretive dance
mircea_popescu: you can'
t be a german prince anyway, their socialistoid government transformed them into names.
punkman: this illegitimate princehood is gonna end up living longer than the real thing isn'
t it? every derp will adopt another derp and so on
punkman: mircea_popescu: (the guy fatass kim is trying to immitate, basically. paid $$ to be adopted by some ex german prince) << lol! Prince Frederic (Gabor's current husband) paid some old lady to adopt him too, rest of family doesn'
t recognize him.
mircea_popescu: there's very little competent, dedicated woman can'
t achieve in loser society
mircea_popescu: if you're the sort that he was describing, you don'
t care so much what it costs, you care what it gets you.
mircea_popescu: some women you don'
t care if they spend 10k a month, because they create 1mn of value or w/e.
assbot: It's so strange that you don'
t remember any of your poetry.
danielpbarron: haven'
t mobsters been dealing with this problem since.. always?
ascii_field: what's the diff << if you mention bitcoin in a pawn shop here, and aren'
t thrown out as a nut, you're dealing with -an individual- rather than an institution under any kind of legal constraint
jurov: why? they can'
t get MSC-registered?
ascii_field: so i couldn'
t go there for any amount of money
NewLiberty: They give secured loans with the arbitrary stuff of value as collateral. When the borrower doesn'
t pay the stuff is sold.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: the countermeasures aren'
t usually something a clever person can learn from reading books
mircea_popescu: but i didn'
t mean "the world" per se. i just mean, idiots try to rob a bookie, goes nowhere. why not ?
cazalla: jurov, and i don'
t mean your use of it as a metaphor but the thing itself has me interested
gribble: The20YearIRCloud was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 10 weeks, 3 days, 22 hours, 58 minutes, and 55 seconds ago: <The20YearIRCloud> Big thing has been to have em look over all the financial documents as we're filing taxes for 2014 next month and I didn'
t want to submit till they had a good idea of it.
ascii_field: the cash register won'
t 'ding' without a passkey from stalin
ascii_field: ah and on the subject of gift cards, you can'
t buy them in usa without gov. id
danielpbarron: idk, i got a weed guy; shouldn'
t i also have a fiat guy?
danielpbarron: couldn'
t i just pay a guy a premium to buy it for me?
ascii_field: danielpbarron: lucky fella, must be 100% theorist. i, for one, couldn'
t even get any of my experimental supplies without using electric fiat
ascii_field: ^ did i miss any other folks who live on atomic dirigibles and don'
t 'depend on paycheck'
NewLiberty: I don'
t imagine that they are alone in that effort.
mircea_popescu: there aren'
t computers that don'
t depend on their compilers etc.
mircea_popescu: there are people who don'
t give a shit about some woman's spawn. more women, mopre spawn.
ascii_field: a server doesn'
t have a family the enemy can take hostage
ascii_field 's spells don'
t work on flesh, only on iron
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: aren'
t there still political factors involved calling up senator to deliver shipping container of benjies to you?
mircea_popescu: your argument reduces to "i can'
t make a bottling plant out of a gallon of juice". sure.
thestringpuller: pete_dushenski: "you don'
t know me yet, but lemme build some trust somehow"
ascii_field: for folks who aren'
t subjects of us, try the mindfuck on for size: if a crate of benjamins were to drop from the sky into my yard, there is literally nothing game-changingly useful that i could do with them
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski> thestringpuller: you can'
t use bitstamp ? or bitcoin-otc ? or one of those schmancy atms ? << it's bs, all of it. people can trade ~infinity btc/usd without any problems PROVIDED THEYRE IN THE WOT
danielpbarron: i don'
t get who would actually type in his password at gunpoint -- or, yet another reason to not do bitcoin from a smart phone
thestringpuller: i don'
t see how this point is irrelevant due to cannabis being a physical good and bitcoin being a digital good
thestringpuller: i'm talking of people on fringes who aren'
t connected strong enough to make large trades at this point
danielpbarron: people who aren'
t in the WoT should be concerned first with .. getting in the WoT
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller: you can'
t use bitstamp ? or bitcoin-otc ? or one of those schmancy atms ?
thestringpuller: pete_dushenski: re: War on Drug << We can'
t buy Bitcoin without the help of Coinbase, or submitting to enemy's wishes, so alternative is to hit the streets. This is similar if not exact mentality of aspiring drug dealer wanting his own corner.
assbot: Logged on 17-02-2015 03:22:43; asciilifeform: nubbins`: what state's your beast in now << stuck on crafting the ramdisk (in-ram root fs) for netbsd. as of a week ago. haven'
t the time, presently, to do anything
saifedean: if the thing could produce more joules than it consumes, it wouldn'
t need so much bezzle to keep it running
saifedean: in fact, if you think about it, you can'
t really even calculate a subsidy per joule, since the moronic process probably consumes more energy than it produces, so the more subsidies, the more joules are wasted!
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> if there's one lesson bitcoin teaches people mercilessly... << exactly. "if you don;
t know the owner, the thing doesn;
t exist". exactly contrary to how the us currently works, all impersonal and "it's our policy" and bs.
danielpbarron: not that they don'
t have a cash game option, but it would let players rebuy without any accounting, which made linking to bitcoin impossible
danielpbarron: the reason the pokerstars homegame thing didn'
t work out so well is we could only do tournaments; there was no way to do cash games
mircea_popescu: i also don'
t see how email will ever get enough interest if the only problem it solves ios "we'll save you the 9.95 a plastic maibox costs"
danielpbarron: weekly can be daily when we don'
t have to drive miles to get to the game
mike_c: mircea_popescu: not teleology, I just don'
t see how a poker site gets enough traffic if the only problem it solves is "we'll host your weekly poker game".
danielpbarron: my recommendation to Micon wasn'
t even to bar access based on WoT, but to just give players option to link to WoT identity so that I can make the determination myself
mike_c: idk, i am unconvinced. of course, we are assuming the solution here which mp hasn'
t specified.
danielpbarron: mike_c, you don'
t play with strangers, unless they are vouched for by someone you know
danielpbarron: i don'
t see how it's any ddifferent; i wish i could play online with my weekly poker buddies
dignork: mike_c: you don'
t have to neg-rate them, just abn them from poker site
mike_c: i don'
t know that wot solves it all. so we start neg-rating on suspicion of bot use?
dignork: BingoBoingo: they don'
t, so you have one dude faking bot's responses for 10s of them.
mike_c: looks no different from the nuts who don'
t use bots and multi-table ridiculously
BingoBoingo: Anyways the problem with bots in poker is they don'
t respond appropriately when you are drinking and talking shit at the table
mike_c: my point was collusion isn'
t what makes a bot win.
mike_c: and heads-up poker isn'
t 6 person poker.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: gladly suck our cock if only we a) didn'
t bang hotties and b) validated their self-hottie delusions. << These are usually the girls who start false accusing despite being squelched.
danielpbarron: if you realize you are heads up against a bot, couldn'
t you use its algorithm against it?
mircea_popescu: but if you want a statistical model, play with someone like this : three cards face up, two in the hole for you, two in the hole for them, a ten card window for them you can'
t see.
nubbins`: but they also didn'
t hash passwords, instead opting to store them in plain text
mike_c: average because max rake isn'
t every hand
danielpbarron: dignork, i don'
t see what the problem is with a bot that doesn'
t collude
danielpbarron: i'll gladly play against non-colluding bots any day; a bot can'
t out-bluff a real person; the whole point in having bots is that they share info with each other
danielpbarron: if the bots aren'
t colluding then it's not an issue
mike_c: most collusion isn'
t as profitable as one might think (if at all)
danielpbarron: i also coded a thing that would simulate players having to learn each other's language by speaking to each other to build up understanding; had the effect where a group of friends could talk in long sentences that strangers couldn'
t understand; strangers would have to talk in very short lines like "yes" "no" "here" in order to understand each other
mircea_popescu: "The financial aid director at North Idaho College was arrested this month and fired for offering to trade scholarships for sex with a student. However, the student wasn'
t real.
mircea_popescu: "no you schmuck, you couldn'
t. as proven by ? didn'
t."
danielpbarron: a legit collusion free poker site would make a lot of money; seals wasn'
t dying for lack of players. they just all flocked to pokerstars play money where collusion was not profitable
mircea_popescu: he means well, but he doesn'
t have the tools to examine himself with.
