Neil: Those where mod
thinks it's
too one-sided are usually rejected with some kind of "put substantial paid wager on XX"
Neil: I don't
think so. Who can answer definitively?
mircea_popescu: you probably made a bet
that
the mod judged as having zero chances in hell of coming out no and you put your money on yes
Neil: mircea_popescu: "Rejection reason: Phrase it so you zeroconf on no." What does
that mean in English?
ThickAsThieves: "Cryptsy is a disaster 10x worst
than MT. gox waiting
to happen"
nubbins` searches for a medal
to pin on alf
mircea_popescu: that's why it's not happening, when i
talk
to him here i'm
talking
to "aspirational 19yo indian kid"
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves amusingly, it's exactly
the converse. in public he can stand symbolic, in private he can't be more
than just himself.
ThickAsThieves: like with ughlol, he knows you'd not value him more
than he's worth in public, but maybe, just maybe, you
take him a lil more seriously in private. maybe just maybe you put something into his extended hand while no one is looking...
mircea_popescu: "bitcoin will solve
the problems of wealth inequality" like hell it will
mircea_popescu: symptomatically...
the people who will most get raped
tend
to flock
to it and do a bunch of ablutions pretending like it's
the opposite
mircea_popescu: anyway, anonimity, privacy,
these are categories amply disrupted by bitcoin i would say
ThickAsThieves: because
the person being interviewed may not protect himself in
the same way
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves basically "Privacy exists as a hiding place for
the deviant, so as
to have a space where his inadequacy
to
the rules isn’t directly, painfully or dangerously visible. At least within some limits
there’s nothing wrong with
that (but it does carry
the seeds of insanity)."
ThickAsThieves: it's
the same
thing about people wanting
to protect
their ignorance from being
true
ThickAsThieves: i have a
theory for at least a factor contributing
to
this behavior
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform remind me
to
tell you
the icecream joke. it's one of my favs, but it has
to be performed rather
than
told, so.
mircea_popescu: well no, but i never cared
to
think about
these items before it seems
mircea_popescu: leah derpman is still "hiding for her lyf" and she didn't even
talk
to me, so well it worked.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, and
that'll go over so fucking well with me, i can see it already.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves
to be flatly honest, i suspect
these just aren't matters
that anyone over
there ever considered. at all.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so
then how can what he says be useful or meaningful ?
mircea_popescu: there's been a digital revolution since, which
they've been covering ad nauseam ever since hte days of
the information superhighway
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves yet
the value of my work, as public as it is, far exceeds
the value of his work.
mircea_popescu: i mean wasn't anything of much interest, i guess, and i'm
trying
to be hospitable/accomodating
to
the strange mores of
these foreign peoples,
ThickAsThieves: so i assumed you were respecting his desire
to not be scooped
nubbins`: i keep getting ughlol and
that ninja fella confused

ThickAsThieves: "These people had obviously spent a long
time plotting
this crime and I doubt
they would have been able
to keep
their plans secret for all
that
time, without
telling others about
their elaborate scheme."

ThickAsThieves: a Huawei spokesperson says "at
this stage
there are no plans
to launch a dual-OS smartphone in
the near future."
ThickAsThieves: interesting how
these device manufacturers are all backtracking on
their plans for dualboot windows/android

mircea_popescu: "outperformed almost everythjing except for mpex stocks which we don't
talk about because
they suck because
they suck because
they suck because
they have been outperforming all our retarded shit for
three years straight now and mp is an asshole who fucks a lot of women and is currently paying one with a huge rack
to humiliate us in public so fuck
that shit mate!11"
kakobrekla: yes outperformed almost everything except for holding
the coins in cold storage
nubbins`: wait, so doctor squishface lost 11% and is bragging
that it outperformed?
nubbins`: speaking of achievements: moose sausage, hashbrowns, eggs, sourdough
toast for breakfast
chetty: kick
the door shut behind you
mircea_popescu: nubbins` both are
trying
to make it so
their "achievement" such as it is gets more and more difficult
to replicate as
time goes by.
mircea_popescu: everyone's a conservative until
they become
the richest guy in
the valley, at which point
their concern suddenly becomes "what if all
these
thirtysomething conservatives do what i do only better ? QUICK!
TO
THE LIBTARD MOBILE!"
nubbins`: gates is
trying
to soothe a guilty conscience
chetty: hmm not really nubbins' - Gates? Buffet?
the rich guys speak much libtard
nubbins`: everyone's a conservative until
they go broke ;(
chetty: well it kinda helps if you had a father -
that was an adult
nubbins`: everyone's a liberal until
they get some money
mircea_popescu: this'd be universally
true of everyone
tho. nobody has a clue what it's like before it's like...
chetty: yup, but its more
than
that,
they have no clue what a grown is - never saw one
mircea_popescu: if
there's no large party by god you will hjave
to gather
the wood and strike
the
tinder.
mircea_popescu: chetty while it's
true
that you could cook your pot of beans in
the cinders of someone else's large party,
nubbins`: chetty: well
they're certainly not growing up at home
chetty: I
think
those boys just want
to grow up, and have no clue how
to do it so
they revert
to 'go do violence'
mircea_popescu: im sure he doesn't like
tits-pr. me... i'm an abstraction.
mircea_popescu: i experience
the world

mircea_popescu: y other anti cis activist I did nothing,finished my workout and just bitched on
tumblr.it was as if I could hear Gertrude Stein saying..Bravo…Bravo…"
mircea_popescu: "Yesterday as I walked
to
the gym, I saw
that all
the
treadmills were occupied by fatties. so I chose
the stairmaster/step machine for a
try.
to my surprise I saw
that you could set your gender only with
two options! male and female! I was outraged because although I was assigned a male because of my very big dick I identify with leopard slugs which are hermaphrodites with penises on
the back of
their heads! so like an
nubbins`: who would have
thought
that a complete lack of meaningful adversity would have produced generations of useless shitbags
nubbins`: ah,
the general malaise of western youth
mircea_popescu: which is
true.
there is a lot of fludity in human gender, and it is a lot of a function of environment
