mircea_popescu: that'd be so epic. i'd have just
taken
the motherfucking fish.
mircea_popescu: "It’s 2010, and a passenger is
trying
to bring her live goldfish
through security. One of my co-workers informs her
that
the fish can go
through but
the water cannot.
The woman is on
the verge of
tears"
mircea_popescu: "Only registered members are allowed
to access
this section." da fuck was
that.
mircea_popescu: you know "the
throne" is common romanian parlance for
the
toilet bowl/seat ?
Mats_cd03: id like my pee
to be used
to inflate boobies one day
nubbins`: immediately below: "management reserves
the right
to refuse service..."
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many women go around
the daily chores of
their cocksucking on camera life *thinking*
they have saline solution breast implants
mircea_popescu: He's
the one who
totally won't inject your breasts with cement.
Totally not
that one.
nubbins`: putting "thanks" in quotes is
the best
[KS]: "<mircea_popescu> like you know... i'm an allegedly me sort of
thing" - I can see a quote coming... :)
bounce: $other_rag presented it as
the short version of
that guy's 600-odd page book. I'm sure he's got bad ideas mixed inextricably with
the good like any economist would
mircea_popescu: deadweasel nubbins` you know someone on
the forum put mircea popescu in quotes ?
ozbot: Save capitalism from
the capitalists by
taxing wealth - FT.com
nubbins`: but unnecessary quotes really
tickle me
nubbins`: sorry for linking
to some shit upworthy-esque website
nubbins`: thanks for
the link
to grammar book, btw
mircea_popescu: [KS] eh get out, you're an otherwise smart fellow about
to paint himself in a corner
trying
to argue nonsense of
the sake of nonsense.
[KS]: I'll post 2 lines
to make
that clear if you want.
nubbins`: "i pasted a bunch of lines out of context in
the forums, didn't link
to
the log, or even bother putting it inside a quote block.
this guarantees
that not only will nobody read it, but nobody who does can even verify its authenticity. i
think you should pay me."
mircea_popescu: "On
the other hand professional also implies
that you understand how context works, and will never ever under any circumstances omit relevant context when quoting, especially when such omission changes
the meaning of your quote and
the quoted
then has
to point
this out
to you"
ozbot: #bitcoin-assets rules and regulations pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
nubbins`: [KS], i
think YOU should pay ME!
[KS]: MP: I
think you should pay me, I'm doing better PR
than MPOE PR. Plus, I'm not deforming your words. Everything is verbatim! :)
mircea_popescu: MGK: I heard
this is
the center of bitcoin, hello center << lol i had just missed
that. hello mgk. who are you ?
nubbins`: "paper wallets are
too confusing"
mircea_popescu: this de-facto creates some extra money in
the system, and
the aggregate is known as "commercial credit"
mircea_popescu: commercial credit is created by any merchant
that delivers goods
to another but does not force
them
to pay right off.
mircea_popescu: jesus fuck i can't believe how broken
the internet is. anyway, investopedia is wrong.
the definition of commercial credit has nothing
to do with any bank.
moiety: i was
thinking D.I.S.C.O
tune
nubbins`: too many people hanging off
the wheels of
the airplane, i
tell ya
nubbins`: drooling idiots falling over each other
to "provide services", "offer funds", "invest", etc
nubbins`: the problem is
that btc space is still infested -- almost completely -- with rubes
mircea_popescu: anyone
thinking
they can build a business out of paying ratecard has got a whole other layer of
things wrong with
their head.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, if you're curious :
the last
time i bought ads, cca 2006, i simply crossed out anyone who wasn't willing
to go UNDER 50% of list price, and just negotiated with everyone else.
mircea_popescu: they just might run $50k worth of ads and pretend
they're owed $1.050 mn
nubbins`: [KS] quoting out of context?
tsk
mircea_popescu: nubbins` ok,
that may be an exception, seeing how nobody is interested in buying ads, and ESPECIALLY not at list prices, so if you're
the sort of schmuck
that may be
tricked into it and
they have nothing else
to run anyway,
chetty: I'll gladly pay you on
Tuesday for a hamburger
today
nubbins`: "i'll pay you for all
those magazine ads soon, i swear"
mircea_popescu: generally you let a customer walk with a few k's,
then
they pay
that...
takes someone even mid level many years
to work
themselves up
to where
they can run a
tab in
the millions
mircea_popescu: well i don't know how
they do it in cyprus, but i've never extended millions in commercial credit on unpaid accounts.
mircea_popescu: no fucking way anyone was stupid enough
to credit
that dude with millions.
mircea_popescu: "unfortunately confirmed with Niccocia
that BREWSTER fled
the country with
thousands of coins from
the IPVO and employees, unpaid employees and milions of dues
to local businesses"
nubbins`: unfortunately i slept in, so i'm not sure which
track
they played
kakobrekla: re beloved:
things which are alike, in nature, grow
to look alike.
[KS]: I'm protected by
the NSA
VanCleef: tat got out of neobee at
the perfect
time
nubbins`: i wonder what sort of royalties i'm entitled
to
ThickAsThieves: the first
two lines, I
think he was
talking about Litecoin
ThickAsThieves: KS I
think some of
the quotes of MP you posted might be out of context
[KS]: MP: you have some fans in
teh Neo
thread :)
VanCleef: this bitcoiner
that works upstairs from my office just jumped out from his window
moiety: my arsedness
to deal with alts depletes everyday
VanCleef: mircea needs
to cash out and drive it back
to single digits
MisterE: trying
to use
the ratio
to coin up
mircea_popescu: however, i never realised it, and so i can book a gain on
that buy now if i feel like it.
mircea_popescu: see, i bought 60 coins for 1k dollars in 2011. all
through 2012
this was ~1k dollars loss.
mircea_popescu: MisterE you already booked your loss no matter what other
things happen around you.
MisterE: stamp
testing 440 so not feeling
too bad about it ;)
mircea_popescu: the ratio between people willing
to buy
to support it and people needing
to sell
to pay for
their mining is better.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves
the liquidity problem of a crypto coin is problematic. i could present
the following argument
that atc actually has better liquidity :
turbo_ac100: (16:37:25) mircea_popescu: MisterE: heh, I got a little nervous nelly
today,
thought we were going
to
test 400, so I sold some coin for 484
that I bought at 505 :/ <<
that's how fortunes are made. << oracle of delphi, alexander
the great
ThickAsThieves: to newcomers ltc has
to win on
the same ground as any other alt
mircea_popescu: but
that aside ltc was always an iffy proposition. and contrary
to what
the proponents were screaming, it hasn't really been lifted by btc so much.

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves well,
the forum crowd still hoping
to "strike it rich" on
their
ten bux will proclaim it dead
mircea_popescu: people will expend as much energy as
they're willing
to expend, how many hashes
that yields is a purely conventional measure
punkman1: and
these people are not people
mircea_popescu: "To lower
the footprint of LTC and retain GPU mineability,
the algorithm of our choice is X11." footprint in what sense ?
