as a currency to some degree

KRS|Gotyawallet: I don't think the FED has ever been under so much attack
as this day and age

as long
as we can be homophobic too

as in, if racism justifies slavery it's better than racism alone?
mircea_popescu: there's nothing intrinsic to intelligence that prevents racism (
as you define it) nor is there in fact anything wrong with racism in principle

as if a t-ban's going to improve my life noticeably.

as hardworking
as an ant"
mircea_popescu: plenty more people you should know about
as they're public, caldwell, the russian pirate bet guy,
mircea_popescu: only because "bitcoin world"
as understood by muppets strictly consists of muppets, who have no intellectual ability to speak of, which limits their cognitive bubble rather severely.
mircea_popescu: VanCleef inasmuch
as you limit the statement to "those venues all the forum idiots use", then you're prtobably right.

Gotchawallet: eh? i have before
as in cash in pocket..what do you mean?
ThickAsThieves: i'm not gonna bother speculating
as to what may complicate things to be like they are
mircea_popescu:
as opposed to todaqy's indescribable retards of "we've taken a two week master's"
mircea_popescu: fascinating to read a 10 year old wsj piece, and discover how it merely sucks
as compared to a coupla decades before
mircea_popescu: " unless one includes the entity that has come to be known
as the meritocracy—presumably an aristocracy of sheer intelligence, men and women trained in the nation's most prestigious schools.

as well
mircea_popescu: and
as to mit, the "premier engineering school in teh werld", all i have to say is www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIhk9eKOLzQ

as though willet et al have heard about a thing called a spec and how some people involved with bitcoin think the cryptocurrency might be better off with a spec than new features, chose to 'implement' a 'spec' that's wholly inadequate to the task at hand
benkay: how to revoke orders once in blockchain is left
as an exercise to the alert reader

as the Tom
mircea_popescu: the net result ? i open a can, i eat
as much
as i can, i put it in the fridge.
pankkake:
as long
as you understand it (I don't), why not?
mircea_popescu: after all, business has to be found, too, and wants to be found by the right guy just
as much
as women do.
mircea_popescu: those are just
as able to fineagle a great woman
as they are to find you a great deal.
mircea_popescu: translation is about 5x
as difficult
as writing, who knew.
benkay: not
as a disk no, but to decrypt a file of environmental variables describing cluster provisioning.
benkay: in computers, where there's a trivial cost to spin up (f.ex) a new altchain, the froth of imitators will be dominated by people who are kind of sort of with it,
as they're going to outperform the derpy imitators who genuinely believe that they're changing the world or being a part of something or some shit like that.
Vexual: this is
as dissappointing
as cybersecks
BingoBoingo: Vexual: Last one we played i was black
as Mugabe
Vexual: i did, i was busy, and i lost track
as i was learning notation
BingoBoingo: Vexual: I you want we could start over with you
as white...
Vexual: then you shall be white, if you don't mind a delay
as i cook, i am ready
BingoBoingo: Why play at your actual level when fruit can play for you
as a candidate master.
benkay: can't really say
as i agree.
benkay: I tell myself that it's probably for the best
as I'd likely have gotten mixed up in some profitable and not terribly reputable business and wound up in the pokey given my predilections.
BingoBoingo: Vexual: I am rather poor at chess
as well.
Duffer1: probably, that's why i put 'price' in quotes because i'm hesitant to define doge
as something that has a value
copumpkin: man, mpoe isn't doing
as well
as it was
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you're very much mistaken. this is the us army propaganda
as to why they failed.
mircea_popescu: obviously the consumer thinks so, clearly visible i nthings such
as "bitcoin must be a sort of supermarket payment option to really exist"
mircea_popescu: haha, i wouldn't go
as far
as to say that the litmus for "working economy" is "consumer sector" tbh
Duffer1: "Ideally, the initial transaction serves
as the basis of a permanent arrangement, with the victim roped into an installment plan, which keeps the payments flowing even after the fuffle itself has crumbled into a pile of dust"
mircea_popescu: in the end, money is an expression of culture. the chase for money in se is not much unlike the making of worthless paintings
as a "commercial venture".

as much

mircea_popescu: the scammer, let him be known
as S, has been doing nothing but contemplating, the minutious detail that is otherwise irrelevant.
mircea_popescu: and
as a result learning fa for him is "learn all calculus from fractions onward", which is easily months of HIS time (it'd be a lot less time for someone a lot more literate, because of the way economies of scale work in matters of the mind. however, this is not him)
mircea_popescu: the sucker, let him be known
as s, is in a rush. he has not the time to completely consider things, and this is built on a lengthy historical tradition of the same : he also "did not have the time" to properly consider functional analysis in highschool,
mircea_popescu: you people have what's technically known
as a death wish.
kakobrekla: i hear ads are not
as hot
as they used to be now though and id bet donations calmed down too.

as an obligation free way to get BTC
