ThickAsThieves: maybe we'll just start calling generations
that way instead of Generation X, it's Web 3.0!
ThickAsThieves: i saw someone use ethereum and
the like as a Web 3.0 reference
mircea_popescu: web 1.0 was and sitll is good enough. in
the sense of way better
than any walled garden bullshit.
pankkake: we don't
talk anymore unfortunately
mircea_popescu: i love linking. and i still believe in
the old concepts of
the web, from back like 1999
pankkake: but I rarely see
this practice (linking
to posts) nowadays, even
though
this probably gave
the name
to "blogosphere"
mircea_popescu: wait, you can still be subscribed
to comments ? like via email ?
pankkake: I'm susbscribed
to
trilema comments so I see
the links,
that's all
ThickAsThieves: even when we break out of
the channel and its impossible log, we create a web of cross-referenced blogs
to further fuck with newcomers
mircea_popescu: pankkake do you like analytix
the fuck out of
those blogs ?
pankkake: though I actually read your first post
thanks
to a
trilema pingback, so, it werks
pankkake: BingoBoingo and benkay are good at
the game
too
pankkake: that was a
tentative joke. anyway, have
to agree on
the
trend of linking
to
trilema on every blog post
mircea_popescu: what's with
these people and body painting unhealthy looking women ?

VanCleef: cant we just go back
to how it use
to be?
mircea_popescu: VanCleef you need
to read
the logs.
this was discussed
to death.
VanCleef: just kick people or mute
them if you dont want
them
to
talk
VanCleef: anywho
this voiced stuff sucks
mircea_popescu: bounce
that's for believers. for engineers, it's 120 pages for a lottery
ticket in an unauthorised lottery with an alleged cash prize of 50k (conditions apply)
bounce: how
to fill 120 pages worth of screenplay from irc logs? now
there's a fiddy kay question.
ozbot: Harlan Ellison -- Pay
the Writer - YouTube
VanCleef: then
they pay you more if
they decide
to make
the movie
VanCleef: that's okey studios pay like 50k just
to own scripts and keep
them under
their desk
mircea_popescu: i gave him some freedom implicit
there, so his job doesn't suck
ozbot: We’re all one pe

CheckDavid: Like a government official came here
to offer it? Lol
mircea_popescu: this is where i link
that "all one" california soap nuttery
mircea_popescu: no but i mean, if he's going for
the outrage value, at least go all
the way.
bounce: ducktaped chickens, bio-fleshlights?
the sheer depravity. minus personpoints for you!
ThickAsThieves: i'm gonna make a post in MY blog about
the new ending, cuz apparently it's all
the rage
these days, blogging on
top of what mp says ;)
mircea_popescu: why not have
them fuck ductaped baby chickens, and use
THAT as
the currency.
VanCleef: i wanted
to do a homage
to 80's action films and do one about
the most powerful groups of people
that run
the world
today and
they all work in
this underground sex
trade where
they only use women as currency
VanCleef: to be honest its a lil over my head, i hvave
to read it a few
times
to fully understand it
mircea_popescu: CheckDavid if you had read
the logs,
there was even a cushy us govt job offered.
jurov: it's certain
they will continue with it
mircea_popescu: VanCleef or people whoi like alma-tadema, or people who like
to see men get fucked, or w/e
jurov: CheckDavid:
there are plenty of bachelor/master
theses on it
CheckDavid: I wonder if one can get government funds
to research and develop crypto currencies
VanCleef: who would be your
target audience for
this film?
mircea_popescu: the greatness of money, you get
to make choices and have preferences.
mircea_popescu: i could. but i prefer
to give someone
the chance
to write
the script.
VanCleef: you could just pay someone
to write
the script
CheckDavid: In Wisconsin, it is illegal
to serve apple pie in public restaurants without cheese
VanCleef: yeah i was
thinking
that when i read it
mircea_popescu: VanCleef indicated i nthe
text by "This scene makes or breaks
the whole film"
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves
that's why you're in
the marbles and i'm in
the furs, because you actually believe
that :D
VanCleef: The
term setpiece is often used more broadly
to describe any important dramatic or comedic highpoint in a film or story, particularly
those
that provide some kind of dramatic payoff, resolution, or
transition.
CheckDavid: Ok I will
test myself if you don't want
to answer
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i guess it does
that. and yes
they are. but it ain't
the political statement i wish
to make :)
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves nah.
that's imbalanced. it proposes
the idiocy is somehow okay.
mircea_popescu: but it has an event. how many episodes before, and how many after ? either way it's...
two
tv shows
ThickAsThieves: the ending is
the barbarian's own advisor, proposing and convincing him of his first laws of order (hinting at an eventual recreation of
the original empire
the movie started with)
VanCleef: i
think it would make a good
tv show
VanCleef: yeh just reading
the movie idea
CheckDavid: Like
there can’t be a larger binary digit
than 1
ozbot: The idea for a great film… pe

TestingUnoDosTre: if I could sustain any positive % earnings in BTC / unit of
time, my wealth would be skyrocketing in some years
time
BingoBoingo: Just as soon as you disconnected returns over
time from parimutuel betting.
TestingUnoDosTre: For instance, if you were going
to loan out 1 btc
today
to
two people, one is going
to pay you back in 4 months,
the second in 8 months
BingoBoingo: Honestly given
the
type of site BitBet is, I would be more concerned with
trying
to win
the bets outright instead of chasing a fixed return.
TestingUnoDosTre: I'm not saying you would for sure win
these bets. I'm asking, if you did win
these bets, what would be
the answer for a BTC scenario
TestingUnoDosTre: because you could (theoretically again), place another bet down, hoping for
that same 4 month return, and you would equal
the bet 2 return of 10%
