t watch porn. doesn'
t mean i can'
t discuss itcompetently.
davout: !s if you can'
t stop fucking with it
adlai: bitcoin hasn'
t been in space yet, right? iirc somebody sent chris hadfield a changetip, but that's not bitcoin...
adlai: "Job Title / Occupation" the only possible answer i can find to this question is "Palestine", but i don'
t think that's what they're asking for
mircea_popescu: anyway, he can'
t actually do it. you can;
t arrest a president.
cazalla: figured it was new aspect to that story, don'
t remember reading in logs he planned to arrest that chick
mircea_popescu: and anyone else a) doesn'
t hjave the money and b) would just be happy to send you support tickets
mircea_popescu: cazalla can'
t even be bothered to bet on it. "they'll make a bitcoin's worth of sales the first week, then half a bitcoin the next year and then that's that."
decimation: it's funny, I don'
t see many incoming packets
mircea_popescu: the butcher, a huge guy with a huge mustache, "don'
t be afraid, it won'
t bite"
the_scourge: now i know who they were and i still don'
t care
the_scourge: i don'
t care for reddit but the btcd guys were engaging in discussion on there
mircea_popescu: suppose the converse. i have a girl with any of my women, she witnesses the life in a harem geowing up, i tell her all the dirty secrets of the world because i dfon'
t give a fuck, i encourage her to parade naked in town when she's 16 and so on, and when i die i leave her half a billion in untraceable money.
assbot: Why "representative democracy" doesn'
t work and doesn'
t make sense pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... (

trinque: I was thinking of it in terms of "go read these books" and "you know, don'
t steal that guy's potatoes"
trinque: gavin can'
t have shamcoin because bitcoin does not work that way, too bad
mircea_popescu: <trinque> sure one can'
t apprehend reality in some objective way << if this is true, how come gavin's not getting what he wants ?
mircea_popescu: centralism is ever the temptation of the stupid and the lazy, for very good game theoretic reasons : they know that greatness won'
t be oozing out of them personally any time soon. perhaps if it were all put into this box then it may ooze it ?
trinque: sure one can'
t apprehend reality in some objective way
ben_vulpes: if enforcement's impossible...don'
t enforce.
danielpbarron: thestringpuller> US passport: Tax Curse, -10 from wealth << why i can'
t attend conference
thestringpuller: Don'
t you get sent to jail in the US if you don'
t pay taxes for X amount of time.
mircea_popescu: well if it were easy to say it wouldn'
t make much of a bet.
ben_vulpes: the_scourge: i don'
t fuck with any of that stuff.
the_scourge: ben_vulpes: if you know an implimentation of fedwiki that doesn'
t have js, let me know
the_scourge: ever heard about babies who don'
t have good mitochonria during antenatal development? not good
mircea_popescu: this is just a conspiracy to drink more piss, isn'
t it.
nubbins`: ive seen members of parliament call each others sleeveens with impunity because the speaker of the house didn'
t know wtf it meant.
nubbins`: mp quote me saying some people don'
t bring shit to the table
mircea_popescu: note that they usually explain their limitations. "A dictionary of 1900 London argot" won'
t contain nixonisms
mircea_popescu: nubbins` the only thing that makes you go "this isn'
t a fucking dictionary" is if you look for a word that should be in but isnt
nubbins`: we all don'
t bring something to the table
mircea_popescu: i see little in there other than "agend desperate to create personal raport as attempts to control teh public venue aren'
t working for ununderstood reasons that look scary."
mircea_popescu: it's not a book, it's a list. and it doesn'
t have to be alphabetically sorted.
the_scourge: adlai: 'college students' < doesn'
t tell us anything
mircea_popescu: adlai still. even people with good indedices, what are they going to put in there ? can'
t make it half the book.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: because 9 wasn'
t good enough!
adlai isn'
t sure 'dignity' is what's at stake
the_scourge: it's interesting how the israeli culture generally knows about some of these nuances. the bootneck culture lives and breathes them and i don'
t think i could have bought that for any price
the_scourge: but again, before, i didn'
t even know what those things were. it's more than just crawling through broken glass for miles. there are a lot of subtle nuances
the_scourge: or shayetet13 - i wasn'
t young or patriotic ... and i wasn'
t when i got a good slot in the british military. i was having the same thoughts as moldbug, but instead of blogging about it i decided to become as deadly as possible in as short amount of time as possible
the_scourge: adlai: i don'
t even know what unit that is
the_scourge: asciilifeform: yes, yes they can. hitler couldn'
t because his guys were getting beaten by our guys
adlai still hasn'
t gotten paid for his reserve duty, but doing this requires physical presence at various government bureaus that keep excessively sane hours
mircea_popescu: but weren'
t stupid enough to accept the balancers as their own currency.
the_scourge: nothing has ever been monetized successfully that couldn'
t be turned into swords or necklaces or circuitboards or compressors (or eaten but i'm going back a ways now)
adlai doesn'
t see the connection between "linux kernel" and "market data", but if that's interesting/profitable, glhf
the_scourge: i've just finish reading all of his non-bitcoin and non-economics posts (those are two things he ... isn'
t that brilliant with)
trinque: I hadn'
t ever thought about it in those terms before
the_scourge: uh, i verified but assbot didn'
t announce it in here...
the_scourge: er apparently having a 1 isn'
t good enough to give it away
mircea_popescu: which is why i don'
t particularly mind gavin trying to create a scamcoin, nor whatever "public oppinion" support he may muster.
mircea_popescu: all the others are derivatives of its monetization, they can'
t have their own.
the_scourge: mircea_popescu: can you elaborate on your assertion? i don'
t like making assumptions
mircea_popescu: in gold backed words, that game wasn'
t lost, nor was it ever played.
