mircea_popescu: i know women who won't use a male gyn,
to
their detriment, as male gyns are usually better. but hey, her lyf, her call.
mircea_popescu: ends up generally misrepresented as "well
the problem is he propositioned her". nonsense.
the problem is he apparently has
the discernment of a five year old.
mircea_popescu: a doctor shouldn't have
to follow some ultimately absurd behaviour guidelines, because he's an adult, and a patient should not have
to depend
that
the doctor does follow such, or
that
they're adequate, because he has no options.
moiety: asking someone who is crying about
their daddy issues
to suck your dick isn't flirting
tho
mircea_popescu: you should be able
to
trust your doctor not
to be unpleasant, of which you are
the only judge. and if you don't like him go
to another. which is why
the free market is important.
moiety: re rtust
this is
true mircea_popescu but shouldn't you be able
to
trust your doctor
to keep professional at least while in an appointment?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well rather
than an institutional investor I've just assumed you've
transcended
to being
the institution
mircea_popescu: curious if he'll go
the "o mp is not an institutional investor, because breaking
the back of everyone else does not qualify one" or "he said fucktard so i no longer have
to listen nao lalalala"
mircea_popescu: tell him my concerns are
that he's a fucktard, and ask him
to please address
them.
mircea_popescu: but you're always in a position of
trust.
this "position of
trust" analysis is bollocks. at
the very least you
trust
the random passerby not
to mug you.
fluffypony: lawlz seedcoin: "We have regular contacts with institutional investors, I am not sure how many institutional investors may have expressed a lack of confidence (publicly or
to you) in what we do, if
they have I would be happy
to answer
their concerns, but I wished
to inform you
that
the institutional and angel investors we have been in contact with have expressed great confidence in Seedcoin and our support
to crypto startups."
moiety: this is
true.
the problem with him being picking someone
that had severe issues around it when he was in a position of
trust rather
than a nurse/doctor/person in
the street
mircea_popescu: if a society isn't willing
to put up with "inappropriate" propositioning,
that society will have
to put up with specially designated "proposition pens" where everyone's fcking awkward and
the whole
thing's unpleasant.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, i've hit on doctors/nurses/people in
the street/whoever
the fuck. what's
the big deal.
mircea_popescu: it's just
that he sucks, ie,
the substance of
that proposition.
mircea_popescu: moiety
there's
this confusion being peddled, in classic libertard manner,
that it's
the form rather
than
the substance. however, in my experience it's absolutely never
THE FACT
that he propositioned her
that is
the issue.
moiety: mircea_popescu: well he was actually.
to everyone. but she was also nuts, so it did make
things difficult. he is still working
mircea_popescu: fluffypony yeah but she was paying so she doesn't have
to.
moiety: i
think
this was his plan fluffypony
fluffypony: and gotten her
therapy fees back with interest
fluffypony: moiety: she could have
transitioned from one
type of moan
to another
mircea_popescu: it's a common mistake of
the pompously clueless, and good sister of
the entire "trolls are bad for society" mtyh
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: yeah, which was
the number 1 reason why I never went
to another IRC meet after my first one in 1997
mircea_popescu: fluffypony early internet people held
the idiotic belief
that "meeting irl" is some sortt of gold standard.
fluffypony: because
that's a great basis for "trust"
fluffypony: well
they broke it
the minute
they started having "signing parties" at every con in existence
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the gpg wot is imo a broken beyond belief implementaiton
moiety: she complained about him and he had
to leave. big court case and everything about it.
fluffypony: --send-keys just pushes my key, not
the
trust level
fluffypony: how do you push
that updated keyring
to
the keyserver?
fluffypony: when you import someone's pubkey and set
their
trust level
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: question on
the gpg wot
moiety: one of our locum psychiatrists allegedly propositioned a stripper in her appointment. he actually went
to her club and asked for her by name later
moiety: they have
tools for
that kind of
thing
moiety: deserves a smack in
the face
moiety: "I had
to
think of something
that would relax her ... I
thought I'd stimulate her clitoris
to get access
to
the inside
to do
that proper examination, hoping
that she'd relax." WTF .... a woman
that avoided internal exams .... kden
thats really going
to relax her
mircea_popescu: "A doctor charged with sexually assaulting a patient at Dapto Medical Centre has
told a court he
took
the unusual step of stimulating
the woman on his clinic couch after she clamped down on his finger with her private parts, aggravating an injury
to his shoulder."
cazalla: there's actually been 3 or 4 doctors struck off for similar
things at
that place, not
that i knew at
the
time, it was
the only place open late
moiety: cazalla:
that's ridiculous, folk like
that shouldn't be doctors
mircea_popescu: HeySteve lol
that korea customs form rules. "please say if you have any magicks kthx"
fluffypony: cazalla: so you
took
the script and sold it on SR?
fluffypony: mircea_popescu:
that's what I was commenting on above, he sounds like an ideal Bitcoin Foundation candidate
cazalla: i went
to a walk in medical centre with issues about my neck as I couldn't get an appointment at my usual GP,
the GP at
the walk in just assumed I was after pain meds and wrote a script for endone (oxycodone) without any hesitation
to get me
the fuck out of
there
☟︎ mircea_popescu: so anyways i ask
the guy what he doing in/with bitcoin and he says he "just left a start-up and wants
to be a core dev" << so send him here.
ozbot: BitBet -
TradeFortress arrested
HeySteve: Peter
Todd had a strong point against sidechains
cazalla: difficult
to find a good GP in Australia,
the older doctors are few and far between but will allow you adequate
time,
the younger GP's are usually found in medical centres where
the aim is
to get you in and out ASAP
to bulk bill medicare as much as possible
fluffypony: bitcoinpete:naturally, i prod further and his area of interests is sidechains because
they "fix bitcoin's incentive problems" <- with
that attitude he's well on his way
to being part of
the Bitcoin Foundation, maybe he should just apply for a seat?
mircea_popescu: and i would argue healthcare,
tho not stellar, is better here
than
there.
mircea_popescu: somehow a country larger
than
the entire fucking cascadia can function on 1/10
to 1/100 of
the us costs.
mircea_popescu: typical office overhead for a doctor's office is in
the 10
to 15k a year, all inclusive,
typical doctor visit is $100 or less (depending, GP is like $10)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway,
they do
the office practice here
too. most romanians are insured by virtue of going
to work,
the cost is about $100 per month. most rich romanians don't bother with
the state insurance and just pay out of pocket.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It's what he refers
to his urologist office mate as
mircea_popescu: "3. CEO at my hospital laid off 10% of
the nurses last year and got a $7M bonus."
mircea_popescu: "Office space alone can eat you alive. Between Pissy and I we have 2100 square feet. And we're paying $5100 a month for
that. "
mircea_popescu: "this guy is giving me
the
timmy-jimmies", voted most likely
to succeed coinage of 2014.
fluffypony: ;;later
tell duffer1 well when you can't decide whether your name is "Timothy" or "Jimmy" it's unsurprising
that you'd self-identify as an "investor" despite never really invested in anything:-P
mircea_popescu: anyway, best make it a full year, so wait a few days
to include apr
too
mircea_popescu: HeySteve exactly. letting people know about how
their lives depend on bitcoin-ability is a charitable deed.
fluffypony: or none
that needs
to execute
to see
the
table
HeySteve: that sounds dangerous for
the villagers
mircea_popescu: like you know,
there's
this lion in an african village, and
the local peasants are... not recognizing it.
mircea_popescu: HeySteve it... is. it has been, for a while. hence
the serenissima.
HeySteve: do you mean
this channel or Bitcoin?
mircea_popescu: HeySteve yes,
there is such a science. what do you
think we're doing here.
mircea_popescu: whereas everyone else reported by
the 5th of next calendar month, so it always was later
HeySteve: <+mircea_popescu> "Without a hierarchical structure it is not possible
to
transform freedom from a fable into a fact." <-
there should be a science of resilient hierarchical structures which resist corruption and decay. it should draw from historical fact, military
tactics and decentralised methods. it should inform a
technocratic leadership.
mircea_popescu: this because for most of its life mpoe reported on a "last week of month" period, and reports came in within hours of exercise closure, so it almost always was within
the month.
mircea_popescu: and had it been paid 3-06-2012 it'd still have been
the may dividend
fluffypony: for eg.
the first dividend was paid on 26-05-12 and is listed as
the May 2012 dividend
fluffypony: yes but if you
take
the dividends
table on
the listing page for MPOE it correlates
to "month in which it was paid" pretty much
ozbot: MPEx : one year of dividends pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell decimation you left out
the best part : "Without a hierarchical structure it is not possible
to
transform freedom from a fable into a fact."
mircea_popescu: mod6: I just stopped my
trades bot, so you can display yours. << hows
that work ?
mircea_popescu: schizopathically & antisocially i seem
to count myself as an institution.
Apocalyptic: as it's in solely your authority
to decide
the outcome
mircea_popescu: well
to
the degree betting on any fiat stock being delisted is, i guess.
