to be."
mircea_popescu: If schools cannot justify differentials in rates of punishment by race or ethnic group,
they will face
the loss of federal funds and be forced
to undertake costly diversity
training.
The nation's educators can avoid sanctions by adopting a racial quota system for student discipline. So as Roger Clegg, president and general counsel of
the Center for Equal Opportunity, predicts, "school officials will either start discip
mircea_popescu: bounce

to implore people
to go vote for
the eurocircus.
the only winning move is
to get one of dem euroseats, sign in for
the day (for
the money)
then bugger off immediately.
benkay: 'fart up for less! come

the way
to your dream business, but it will get you selling crap online and

thing for you' recently.
benkay: i'm an expert at selling bullshit
to vc's.
benkay: mircea_popescu: for
them
to be
terms of art,
there'd need
to be a field and for
that field
to have experts.
mircea_popescu: "People are more violently opposed
to fur
than leather, because it's safer
to harness rich women
than motorcycle gangs."
benkay: gotta make room for
the mktdroids
ThickAsThieves: a

totally unhip and out of
the loop curmudgeon : da fuck's supposed

the difference between "a hackathon" and "a start-up challenge" ?
mircea_popescu: you knoiw, i

mircea_popescu: dont you guys
think
this guy's wife is like stealing him away from us ?
ThickAsThieves: yeah my intent isnt
to be evil so much as
to expose it
mircea_popescu: you can also ask ver how does it feel
to have had a bunch of btc way back, and now
toi have none, and just hang on
to
the memories of back when he could
throw k's at
the foundatyion.
mircea_popescu: you can ask
the ripple people about mah ripple article if you particularly wish

mircea_popescu: just asking because you recall
the earlier discussion re identifying stakeholders
fluffypony: they handle all
the fiat stuff (including regulatory hurdles)
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: you missed
the whole PayBee proposal! it backs up onto Bitpay, so no need for any of
tha
t:)
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: accept arbitrary altcoins, cash out
to fiat / BTC in whatever ratio
they'd like
fluffypony: we put
together a small board
that consists of myself plus a few others
that were already involved in VertPay
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: backend stuff,
the VertPay guys have a dev
team so some of
the code's been discarded in favour of what
they have, and some can be re-used
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: it made sense
to do
that
than
try do PayBee
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: an altcoin, selling point is
that it uses scrypt-n so it's asic-resistant
ThickAsThieves: i'm not sure if i have a 'current' list lolstate, i may have
taken a screen shot of
the lmb site before it went away, but otherwise,
the 'list' of pending
transfers was not saved
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I found someone doing something similar
to PayBee but Vertcoin-specific, so I struck a deal with
them and we've been sorting
things out over
the past couple of weeks
nahkunt: yes i agree and i
think it's a wise decision
to start with just vert
fluffypony: nahkunt: definitely,
that's
the plan, but it's important for us
to have a definitive starting point
mircea_popescu: wait wait. fluffypony what exactly is your relation
to vertcon or w/e and wtf is it ?
nahkunt: fluffypony: serious question: will you consider other altcoins
than vert some day? i realise
that's pipedream
talk but i'm curious
lolstate: Not
trying
to wind you up,
TAT, just fact-finding!
lolstate: MP’s attitude is naive. When
the Feds come, it wil be because
there are new crypto-carreers
to be bulit.
ozbot: Bitcoin prices, Bitcoin inflexibility pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
benkay: fluffypony: you're
tying yourself
to shitcoins
that aren't atc?
ThickAsThieves: lolstate i am in no way involved with bitcoin securities at
this
time, well, other
than owning some personally
nahkunt: fluffypony: ok
thanks i will
mircea_popescu: nahkunt you ever read
the canonical statement
to
the contrary ?
fluffypony: nahkunt: I'm off
to bed, but hit me up
tomorrow if you have any VertPay questions
benkay: nahkunt: "Merchant adoption is
the single biggest driver in encouraging
the spread of a cryptocurrency." << sounds like a ploy
to hype a shitcoin
mircea_popescu: i may be
the lord of all evil but i can't compress
time.
mircea_popescu: i have no idea who
the rest of
the derps present are or why'd i/anyone care.
nahkunt: benkay: ok man... i
think you're misinterpreting my
tone, i wasn't really all
that serious about it. i just came
to ask people's opinion on
https://vertpay.com —
they're having an IPO soon
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves as far as im concenred,
the "why are you not publishing reports @vehe" is all.
bounce: probably gonna need someone on
the headset relaying irc (teamspeak?) during panels
lolstate: No really. If
there was fraud,
the cops will be interested.
ThickAsThieves: i'll start a doc
tomorrow (i'm not entirely sober atm) but basically who are
the
targets, and what are
the main gripes and concerns
to be expressed
to each
benkay: shit blew up. it's over. on
to
the next one.
benkay: what is
there
to dissect?
lolstate: But
the dissection has
to happen.
lolstate: I don’r need neew info,
TAT.
That’s ok.
benkay: nahkunt: let me know if you have anything
that's less retarded
than a retarded
thread on a retarded forum.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves so im
thinking
the best approach here is, go, liveblog it, we
take it from
there.
benkay: there's nothing
to dissect, lolstate. it's over. everyone involved lost
their money.
lolstate: So,
TAT, I’m not here
to add fuel or whatever. I’m actaully interested in disecting
this mess.
benkay: pornstar
though is your claim and you're going
to have
to substantiate
that.
ThickAsThieves: lolstate just wants fuel
to bring back
to
the perpetually cold fire at bitcointalk.org
nahkunt: benkay: not relying on bitcointalk, i asked for confirmation from
the primary source and you're criticisng my romanian pornstar
turned crypt obusinesscunt research methodology?
bounce already has a bit
too much
to read ATM :/
lolstate: TAT, have you had any contact with Danny after cutting
the pass-through management role?
