mircea_popescu: ima pay 1 btc
to
taleb and 1 btc
to whoever gets him
to come here.
moiety: this is actually what got me
thinking on expanding
to a felinae site
moiety: i like
them
too!
they have stripy legs!
benkay: <bitcoinpete>
taleb's on a roll right now << link?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
there is, but moiety will never get
to know.
benkay: why weren't
they converting coffee
to program in
the first place, mircea_popescu ?
ThickAsThieves: "I realize
that
there are some companies playing in it, but you still have a wallet in your back pocket and I do
too which probably means it hasn’t been figured out just yet.” ~Tim Cook
ThickAsThieves: “I
think it’s a really interesting area," Cook said. "We have almost 800 million iTunes accounts and
the majority of
those have credit cards behind
them. We already have people using
Touch ID
to buy
things across our store, so it’s an area of interest
to us. And it’s an area where nobody has figured it out yet.
mircea_popescu: i quote, "<chetty> well you be glad
to hear we're finally back
to active programing on eulora - but right now need
to hit
the store for weekend supplies of milk and coffee - back in a bit"
benkay: what's
the middle name in a four name name? lol
mike_c: that's like short guys saying
they don't like
tall women. very self serving.
ThickAsThieves: ascii with your brains and my
tongue we could surive easily in any place
ThickAsThieves: you are obligated
to report any foreign account with more
than $10k
kakobrekla: not
that id get any, but i dont like cookies :(
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i don't
trust davout. his girl only rated him a 3.
mircea_popescu: now who was i owing cookies
to ? benkay ? kakobrekla ?
mircea_popescu: fluffypony you are clearly well qualified
to give legal advice :D
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: before you move setup a fake murder in
the US, and
then if
they
try extradite you you can just claim
that
the death penalty is a possibility
mrwdunne: US doesn't have a very good
track record when it comes
to human rights and
terrorism.
Their judgement was probably
the correct one
mircea_popescu: so
they have an agreement, which
they can't use
to extradite
terrorists ?
fluffypony: "Mohamed, a
Tanzanian national, fled
to South Africa after his involvement in
the 1998 bombing of
the US embassy in Dar-es-Salaam."
mrwdunne: What charges were
they extraditing him on?
fluffypony: "This infringed Mohamed's rights
to human dignity,
to life, and not
to be punished in a cruel, inhuman or degrading manner.
The Constitutional Court concluded
that
the handing over of Mohamed
to
the US government was unlawful"
fluffypony: looks like
there's mutual extradition in place, but
that
they've refused
to extradite before for a guy
that could possibly have received
the death penalty
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves women have
this endless capacity
to pleasantly surprise.
ThickAsThieves: mp,
to say as much would be
to decide whether divorce is
the answer
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves you don't bring it up. you go home and say "woman, we're leaving for
the congo. pack stockings and
tank
tops, and read up on slim's guide
to cook for bogart"
bounce: depends on what you
think is "charity". plenty of
the oh-so-selfless white influence hasn't done
the continent a bit of good
mrwdunne: I
think people prefer
to live for longer
though. Definitely go and do some charity in Africa
though - its a great experience
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: in all seriousness,
there are a number of really good programs out here
that are always looking for help - I
think I linked
to
these guys
the other day, but in case not:
http://www.jukani.co.za mircea_popescu: worst
that can happen is you end up dead. which will happen anyway.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: anyone not
tall, dark, and French speaking is white
to
them ;)
fluffypony: mircea_popescu:
the Congo's a
tough haul for a white guy
bounce: probably more effective
to start a militia/hire a bunch of
trigger happy goons/whatever and do some "long pig hunting" on poachers
ThickAsThieves: she actually works for one
that runs
the Okapi Conservation Project
fluffypony: but
they're pretty stupid because you pay
them
to be a volunteer worker
fluffypony: seriously
tho,
there are a bunch of programs
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: yes, she can come here and look after our dogs, we have 6 of
them
ozbot: HP Server Killer Firmware Update On
the Loose - Slashdot
bounce: "self preservation" ought
to count *gdr*
bounce: can't
trust a
thing
that guy claims, he's clearly on shroomz
bounce: great opportunity
to catch up with
the reading. *is a bit swamped*
bounce: isn't
there a private jet
thing for
this sort of situation yet?
fluffypony: (not quite
that bad, but it's a little wild-westish)
ThickAsThieves: as an interesting aside, my lawyer, a former US Attorney, has expressed interest in coming here
tp pick your brain MP
fluffypony: we basically have no laws of real worth, and
those
that could possible get in your way seem
to disappear at
the wiff of money
ThickAsThieves: The verdict is in, unless i'm ready
to move
to Romania, and/or MPEx blocks US customers, and/or I register as a broker/dealer with SEC, I must decline
the MPIF mgr position due
to legal concerns. Even
then, it'd
take a combination of
those
to have any remote chance of safety. :(
mircea_popescu: decimation: re: amazon, I've heard it's a
tough life working
there << but it's a large corp. of course
they'd be managing
the fuck out of all cost, neh ? afaik google is pretty much
the only giant still
trying
to play
the startup, otherwise even apple is bezos-ing it away.
mircea_popescu: numerisTrade anyway, definitely a better bet
than godaddy, which is unequivocally atrocious. maybe enom if you have a direct contract with
them.
ozbot: Namecheap goes off
the deep end. Anyone know a decent domain registrar ? pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mir
mircea_popescu: they were really great, but recently did a dumbass websiute redesign breaking everything. i bitched about it,
they fixed some
things, what can i say. nothing good endures
numerisTrade: mircea_popescu, is
there any domain registrar you can recommend? What is wrong with namecheap.com?
mircea_popescu: the idea being
that it'll have its first report before
the 5th, and
that'll allow a nav, and
then it can
trade.
artifexd: When will
trading of s.mpif begin?
mircea_popescu: or at least used
to be. i dunno anyone used it itches
thingee, so you get
to be
the first.
mrstickball: You can pull out
the BTC from when people buy into your company, correct mrwdunne ?
mrwdunne: No one who seems very significant at
this point in
time
mrstickball: not
the best plan per-se in
terms of what it is, but
the PPM and DD look good
