mircea_popescu:

☝︎ mircea_popescu: trinque woman cooking, me on the couch, computer smoke in the air... totally, the last good decade.
mircea_popescu: the killer's breed, or the demon's seed. the glamor, the fortune, the pain. back to war again, blood is freedom's stain. don't you pray for my soul anymoar!
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz, i put iron maiden on, whole house suddenly took this very 90s aspect.

mircea_popescu: Framedragger do me the favour and check if scriba has somewhere on disk a copy of the above tardstalk link content saved ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: whaack artificially high prices are a fine way to wreck a symbol. consider how torpedoes work (they don't push at the ship, but create a vacuum. it then gets filled). consider also the parable of the walmart giant and the neighbourhood chair.
mircea_popescu: o right, mod6 WAS there iirc. recall harnett, rosenfeld & friends ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: give a million idiots a trillion dollars so they build half million pizzerias and spend the rest of their short unhappy lives whining about the high prices of flour, the horrible traffic and the absent custom.
mircea_popescu: anyway, in something liek that sense destroyed, now the poor darlings have to work their way out of idiotlandia all over again.

mircea_popescu: none of these counted for much in rpactice, for the obvious reason : washington post is not powerful.
mircea_popescu: there have been a lot of "tape painting by fake news" events like that. mtgox printing 0's, pirate going on about how "he's going to crash btc", etc.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aaaand if you wish to be REALLY rattled in that vein, compare and contrast with mp giving random "bitcoin banker" wanna-bes coupla HUNDRED btc just so they can't keep the pretense up any further.
mircea_popescu: (for bonus lulz, compare and contrast with the rogerzus ver blowing up the cover of blockchain.info to try and recoup a half bitcoin or some shit. bassically contemporaneous events, and yet at least headcount reddit still thought ver actually has anything to do with bitcoin.)

mircea_popescu: the other bizare part with houses is this thing whereby the door opens into the street. wouldn't it be logical to have the door open into the "back" garden ?
