ThickAsThieves: for
the same reason i cant enjoy Rush Limbaugh i
think
pankkake: well yes it's
the "martin" jurov
talked about
novusordo: and even
then I just have automatic alerts
to let me know when
they post stuff
novusordo: the only
thing I use
the forum for nowadays is following updates from friedcat and
the
trezor fellows
pLambert: I
think
they only offered 3, she said she wouldn't do it for 35
mircea_popescu: which, from all
the reviews i've read so far, is really very bad and useless pr doing me a huge disservice.
mircea_popescu: funny,
they don't want
to splurge 30 on a mpex reg, but
they do want
to spend 35 on
the mpoe-pr.
pLambert: you better be careful or
they are going
to hire her out from under you ... or not
mircea_popescu: tho perhaps i should say him.
that
thread's basically reduced
to one guy spazzing out and a bunch of people milking him for lulz.
pLambert: At least I have my MPEx based investments
to offset all
the losses from other places :/
pLambert: anybody want
to guess odds
that NEOBEE produces a financial statement within
the next week?
mircea_popescu: just means
the "total available" figure is broken really.
dexX7: i never saw something like
this
ThickAsThieves: like
there are doublespends unconfirmed and affecting
total
dexX7: bc.i seems
to be broken again.. a wallet with negative balance
ThickAsThieves: halted
the normal market, and opened
the Buy IPO page
to only buy new shares
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves well you'll never know if an idea can or can not *really* work. you should aim
to get
them / see if
they can be gotten
to
the point where qualified people want
to find out if
they can work.
ThickAsThieves: one idea would be much easier
to map out,
the other less so, but i feel
the process would force
true determination
mircea_popescu: indeed. and what
the bouncer usually has
to say is "sucks because what, or sucks because how" etc
ThickAsThieves: what i'm
truly setting out
to do, is determine whether
two of my ideas can really work
chetty: ThickAsThieves, helps a lot if you have person
to bounce ideas around with
mircea_popescu: (the difference is
the same as between
the rules of static forces on one hand and
the facade of a house on
the other)
mircea_popescu: or it can be a structured process. most industry and a good chunk of science, plus engineering (which includes good reporting and good police investigative work) is structured by
this principle.
ThickAsThieves: i was a layout guy at
the paper,
thrown into editing some cuz i was not so dumb
mircea_popescu: some pope came up with
the rule
that all reports must be built on
this structure
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves well no, a business plan is a commerce
thing. you just need
to fill in
the specified spots.
ThickAsThieves: through iteration, but surely you have insight on
the matter.
ThickAsThieves: mp, question/advice-seeking: for someone wanting
to
take an "idea" and
turn it into a respectable business plan, or at minimum, some sort of white paper spelling out all
the pieces, what would be
the best way
to approach it?
the default would be a stream of conciousness writing process
to where you can work from what you make
to categorize and sort it all, polishing it over and over
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves pretty sure
that's not actually satoshi
BingoBoingo: Well cunt is
the new moon. ATC is headed
to
the Cunt.

mircea_popescu: whereas irc is accusing me of daydreamingly waiting for
things
to just happen ?
mircea_popescu: so am i getting
this straight,
teh forum is accusing me of backhandedly and undergroundedly manipulating everything while petting my cat and rolling my evil mustachios
ozbot: Attempt
to deposit fake bonds in Vatican bank
nubbins`: have a chew on
the fact
that rarely in history has "the best
thing" ever ended up at
the
top of
the pile purely on its own merits
mircea_popescu: Of
the crooked eyes of humanity no straight answer was ever perceived.
nubbins`: now, i've gotta get
to
the post office before
this 30cm of freezing rain shows up
nubbins`: about
the same
time you were dancing around straight answers, yep ;D
nubbins`: this isn't
the field of dreams -- you have
to do more
than build it for people
to come
mircea_popescu: the solution is
to MAKE
the best and brightest hang here.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` maybe, but
that has nothing
to do : if it's not open it's stacked.
nubbins`: fun fact,
this is not
the place where
the best and brightest hang out
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: because you get applications from -assets neckbeards & wizards who want
to crawl up your bum
mircea_popescu: the latter argues against
the former. what competence of
the lazy is
this ?!
nubbins`: well i mean "open call for judges" certainly isn't
the way
to find 'em
chetty: there are competent judges, but
they can't be bothered
mircea_popescu: it's
the fucking problem. citizen judgeship works if your citizenry consists of slave owning educated people
nubbins`: chetty: well, we're both sidestepping
the issue
that nobody in btc space is nearly competent enough
to serve as a judge of any sort
chetty: the
time will come
to feed
that baby nubbins` , but not yet.
ozbot: Biting Into
The WoT Elephant (And IRC Nicknames) | When Bitcoin Met Pete
nubbins`: ehhh, for someone who goes on about
the sham fiat courts so much, i'm more
than a bit surprised you gave up on
the idea after
the first bump in
the road
bitcoinpete: Although some of you've read my latest blog post, I'm going
to leave it here quietly for
those who haven't:
mircea_popescu: cute babies starve all
teh
time, it's
the way you feed freedom.
nubbins`: shame
to let such a cute baby starve
nubbins`: consider
the statement suitably modified
mircea_popescu: one alternative you claim avoids
the pitfals you identify.
nubbins`: i'm not proposing i know all
the alternatives, i'm simply proposing one alternative
that avoids
the pitfalls of
the first failure
mircea_popescu: no, it's where someone proposes he knows all
the alternatives, which happen
to be
two, of which one happens
to be something
that didn't work in
the past and
the other happens
to be his pet
theory.
mircea_popescu: you familiar with
the fallacy known as false dilemma ?
nubbins`: square peg doesn't fit, so
the hole is flawed
mircea_popescu: nubbins` you don't have
to see "anything
to
the contrary"
nubbins`: i have yet
to see anything
to
the contrary aside from some hand-waving about absolutes and subjectivity
nubbins`: sure, but
the whole
thing i was getting at is
that
the fee structure was flawed from
the start, which is why
the experiment failed
