cazalla: Japan is boosting
the birth rate by bringing diversity
to
the country
mircea_popescu: i
think it's all backed by stuff you mine out of asteroids, so yea
Izzy_: similar concept? or
trading/mining?
Izzy_: so now
they have a cryptocurrency?
Izzy_: i played
the game 10 years ago, but just
to hear
the music
benkay: "leverage".
the word i was looking for a few minutes ago. "leverage".
benkay: anyways, hound's
tanks appear
to be full, and my reserves depleted. updates rendered
anirgu: ok,
that's
two. need
to reword
this...
benkay: kinda
the
thesis, yeah
benkay: i'm considering giving my hacky implementation a rest and diving into
the work
they've done
chetty: yeah
the reference
to chinese workers needs better explain, could be misunderstood
benkay: these gentlemen at conformal seem
to know what
they're doing and going about it in all
the right ways.
benkay: these conformal doods seem
to have
their heads screwed on straight.
benkay: well
there's a strategic option
that while less
tasteful may satisfy
mircea_popescu: benkay so are you giving it a rest or merely wanted
to complain ?
gribble: moiety was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 day, 5 hours, and 5 seconds ago: <moiety> i sreepy, good mew all, whatever your
timezone!
Izzy_: tutoring w/ moeity sounds good - how do i get in
touch with her
anirgu: i wanted
to drive home
that
the USA should not be reuglating nayone
Izzy_: no i don't
think so
anirgu: no no no no. didn't want it
to come off like
that at all
mircea_popescu: anirgu :
that it appears you're proposing
the usg regulate
the life of chinese workers.
Izzy_: why does
there seem
to be a divide w/ xrp and bitcoin
Izzy_: for a living right now, i'm a broadcaster on www.openxrptalk.org - we'll see how far i can
take it
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell moiety Izzy_ something
tells me your best entry would be one on one
tutoring with moiety.
benkay: mircea_popescu: by
the by,
this backus-naur btc network parser is way over my head :(
mircea_popescu: nice formatting, but don't you find
that chinese workers example a little bizarre ?
Izzy_: is
there a step by step sight for future bitcoinistas?
mircea_popescu: this is quite factual. correspondingly, one of
the worst
traits of human nature is
the delusion by which almost every young man imagines
the adults wish him ill.
mircea_popescu: "One of
the fine
traits in human nature is
the desire which almost every decent man has
to help young men do well."
mircea_popescu: but btw, splendid link. i had not know
that. weird. wild. etc.
benkay: mircea_popescu: you back atc but don't accept it for
trilema credits?!
mircea_popescu: Izzy_ well normally you mine it, but i guess most people
trade or w/e
Izzy_: how do i get
the btc?
Izzy_: okay, got
this message in my email
to have access
to your blog "Please send exactly 0.01002637 BTC
to 16crkmdoaK6Tq8NP3FVK7Uxq5Dwdicb3c3"
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03 so simply advertise a gpg key, which people can encrypt
to.
Mats_cd03: pseudonymous forum
that allows for full disclosure while insulating identity of researchers while maintaining a reputation system
deerok: how do you find
the log
ozbot: Bitcoin pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
Izzy_: i'm game
to learn about bitcoin
mircea_popescu: you know,
to sorely contrast with
the bitcoin derpotroll
Mats_cd03: someone create a replacement for full-disclosure
that solely utilizes
the bitcoin protocol
LordPutin: i'm alive just more slient
than an Obama fart
mircea_popescu: he's simpleminded sociopath, i read in
the washington pravda.
LordPutin: Ukyo why not say something in
thebitcointalk
thread just
to know....letpeopleknow you still care, if its ok?
Mats_cd03: if i wanted
to read hn links i would visit hn
mircea_popescu: pretend
to be
the
taxman, even robin hood did
that one
mircea_popescu: "A nationwide scam involving fake Internal Revenue Service representatives has already resulted in $1 million being stolen from
thousands of unsuspecting victims."
ozbot: Why I Never Hire Brilliant Men - Wikisource,
the free online library
B007: why add all
that complexity and cost
though
Mats_cd03: its not
that cool, more like a
tiny A/C unit inside
the gas mask
Mats_cd03: they solved
that problem in CBRNE suits already
Mats_cd03: install a small fan
to move air around
Mats_cd03: then
they can drill a few holes in
there
benkay: i'll wait until
the pixel density exceeds my ocular resolution,
tyvm.
Mats_cd03: that
thing looks
too uncomfortable
to wear
ozbot: Twitter / ID_AA_Carmack: Get in
the Oculus DK2 Queue: ...
B007: benkay:
that whole situation is a lot of wot
decimation: it's barely legal
to
tell someone 'no'
decimation: in
the US hardly any real charity exists
B007: I'd rather
that
then gov. or charities deciding
mircea_popescu: so do you propose
that
they who have it are
the best arbiters of how it should disposed of ?
mircea_popescu: if you mean, are
they
taking it with
them,
they certainly won't.
mircea_popescu: no. if you mean whether
they achieved it legally, im sure htey did. if you mean were
they once young, i'm sure
they were.
decimation: that would surely feed
the people with
the least input!
mircea_popescu: understand
that
the most economic way
to run
the economy - now as during 1614 - is
to just
turn off all machinery, lock all warehouses and bury
the key
☟︎ B007: how did
the savers get
their moeny?
mircea_popescu: to reduce economic inefficiency, by
taking from
the hands of
the savers and putting into
the hands of
the riskers.
decimation: So
to answer Moldbug: Monetary dillusion could be used as a way
to reduce crime - by redistributing wealth (just enough)
to keep crime down and businesses open
mircea_popescu: anyway, "what'd you have me do ? see where young men are reduced by
the accursed avarice of
their fathers, and
they
then wonder
that sons wish
their death"
mircea_popescu: they must have l'avare
translated in goetesprache by now
decimation: I don't have any french, only german. Google
translate for me.
mircea_popescu: the old folks have shit,
the young folks want
the shit. negotiation ensues.
mircea_popescu: if anyone is so inclined,
the immortal balzac has an excellent depiction of
the pilfering problem, in his eugenie grandet
decimation: yeah
that's a pretty good point. Moldbug has a point about closed currencies, but your point goes
to human nature - something
that "economists" often famously ignore.
mircea_popescu: benkay
they definitely have an editor in charge of being 1990s fucktarded
benkay: best part of
the engaget 'story' is
that
the world 'currency' is linked and goes
to another btc atm.
decimation: This goes
to your point about
those who flatter USG make out like bandits; while
those
trying
to make money "from
the sweat of
their brow" end up funding
the fortunes of
the flatterers
mircea_popescu: the study of epsilon and of
the means
through which q = mq+e may be ensured is
then
the business of
the economist.
