mircea_popescu: i usually go listen, forgot about
that, it's not your job, let
the girls handle it etc.
JorgePasada: something in
the vein of emotional resilience and self reliance vs physical
JorgePasada: Trying
to
tie something into
this and make a salient point...
mircea_popescu: from
the pr stuff. otherwise
they end up moping and all indignant
mircea_popescu: it's very visible
to me because i have
to be veeehehery careful
to insulate
the older (mostly engineering) people working for me
JorgePasada: especially
that younger generations are much better at dealing with it
JorgePasada: I agree with
that observation completely,
the
trolling
thing
mircea_popescu: so in a sense, it's a quid pro quo, and
taleb is captive of his generation.
mircea_popescu: "how could he say i fuck donkeys in my spare
time!111"
radan: none of
these are
things
that bitcoin can emulate
mircea_popescu: meanwhile however,
they are experts at handling what's called "trolling"
radan: it involves
ties of emotions, genetics, history, and shared experience
mircea_popescu: we easily laugh at kids
today because
they're wimps, no experience with physical violence, completely unable
to cope with physical reality.
mircea_popescu: JorgePasada i
think
this comes with
the
territory of being old. in
the following specific sense :
JorgePasada: mircea_popescu: Overall I like
Taleb, I just wish he'd present his ideas without so much of his emotional baggage... but I guess
that's
the struggle of communication in general. He probably wouldn't be nearly
the same person without all
those experiences, so I guess some of it is bound
to seep
through
radan: is bitcoin an end or a means
to an end
bounce: you just missed
the kid in -otc,
though he offered euros
mircea_popescu: <Mats_cd03> i need business
to start a money << hahaha epic.
ninjashogun: hi - I am attempting
to make an introduction
to someone who has LTC for sale (person I would introduce wants
to buy ltc). (mid five figures in us fiat). Might someone here be interested?
benkay: good one, Mats_cd03.
that's what i'm doing.
dexX7: well, i guess
the flow of bitcoin news is something like assets->
trilema -> reddit -> mass media
TestingUnoDosTre: the SEC has been calling people as well as emailing? I didn't realize
they worked so much
mike_c: good
to know
the WSJ is still weeks behind b-a
bounce puts down a high hat and fiddles a
tune of big plans and obvious competence
dexX7: it's a shame
that everyone started
to yell about
the sec stuff, but it was known since korbman was called by
them weeks? earlier
Apocalyptic: only one known exploit for
this, and it's from 2007...
mike_c: kako said it was
the akismet plugin for wordpress
that allowed
the hack.
Mats_cd03: it doesnt pass a
test of any rigor known by science
Mats_cd03: it is not repeatable,
testable, or falsifiable
JorgePasada: mats_cd03 I
think
Taleb would have come off better if so much of his contempt for
the people who laughed at him for being wrong all
though
the financial bubbles didn't seep
through his writing. Great ideas, great
thoughts/concepts, somewhat poorly presented.
Mats_cd03: i fancy
taleb myself but i find
the concept unpalatable
ninjashogun: Do you
think
the bitcoin phenomenon counts as one?
ninjashogun: any of you familiar with
the 'black swan' concept?
kakobrekla: the logs were not edited ( except for
the shit-smeller part)
Apocalyptic: dexX7, more like
the logs could be edited, don't know
to what extend it was compromised
dexX7: all
teh gossip and slander available for
the public!?
dexX7: i would worry more about a potential hack
than 0.1 btc
jurov: i had donated
to 14uG7Qcu7riB9rthmmqjVVNn7gtGkZPFGC instead
dexX7: that's
the one linked at
the bottom of
the website
jurov: no
that's
the right one afaik
ozbot: Cookies must be enabled. |
The Australian
cazalla: yes but would you go
to an @aantonop meet up with no women?
Mats_cd03: cause bitcoiners wanna be famous and network
too
dexX7: fyi: checked
the last 100+ blocks. blockchain.info is in sync
dexX7: you may export
the privat keys from your online wallet, just in case
dexX7: well, worst case is probably
that you are "behind". coins should never be at risk, especially because blockchain.info is not
the holder of coins
dexX7: at
the very moment everything seems
to be fine
dexX7: but i have no idea, how you could see
that something is wrong, if you only look at blockchain.info itself
dexX7: and i confirm
this with
two nodes i run myself
dexX7: until a few minutes ago blockchain.info was more
than 6 blocks behind
User__: dexX7 how do you know? from
the UI
dexX7: is
there an alternative?
kakobrekla: jurov it happend 13 days ago. by
the
timing im guessing you hacked it, sent
the money
to yourself and now want a refund!
dexX7: never mind.. it's a scam imposter site
the guy mentioned
benkay: i wonder if it reflects something about culture. leaving
the boom/bust of pushing crystals
through a delicate membrane for a more even dosage level over a longer period of
time.
benkay: and it was just one of
them.
benkay: subject of
the Vin Mariani
the smart kids have introduced me
to
their new favorite habit of dissolving high-grade cocaine in high-test alcohol and eyedroppering it into
their drinks
Mats_cd03: youre only seeing
the highlight reels
benkay: leastaways seems
that way hurr hurr hurr
benkay: you're coked
to
the gills in here regularly, Mats_cd03.
Mats_cd03: i
think im betraying my age... afk
Mats_cd03: cake up
to wake up, sip
that shit pass out or play playstation
benkay: shit
to do
these days.
Mats_cd03: benkay: you've outed yourself, i can
tell you do shitloads of drugs
Mats_cd03: Aw
th-,
they said he wasn't
tall enough?
dexX7: <radan> anyway, I'm in
the oil industry << burn in hell, kafir
gribble: Vexual was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 3 weeks, 3 days, 21 hours, 26 minutes, and 53 seconds ago: <Vexual> lasers in
the eye is never good
tat
Mats_cd03: and some kanye for
the young bloods in here www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0FtrbhfhWg
radan: possibly
the industry where jewish connections can least help me
radan: anyway, I'm in
the oil industry
kakobrekla: if anyone is curious, it was akismet
that ships default with wp.
radan: irony's
the new hip
thing
dexX7: hehe benkay,
the
track is indeed fine. i usually use di.fm for music :)
radan: get with
the
times, old man
benkay: all
the allah wankery on your blog
radan: where did
that come from
Mats_cd03: "the jews" have less power now
than
they have ever had at any
time in history
mike_c: try
this. do you realize you sound like a whiny child?
Apocalyptic: <radan>
they're
the new nobility and no one recognizes it // some do
Mats_cd03: race envy is
terribly out of fashion
mike_c: i'm
talking about you.
mike_c: if only you had different genes, you could be rich
too.
radan: they're
the new nobility and no one recognizes it
