nubbins`: you saw something
that was a good idea and you bought in.
that's not privilege, it's sense
bitcoinpete: and
there's more. it's fuckin privilege day
mircea_popescu: that's
the point of fucking bitcoin :
to put privilege above
the reach of
the unprivileged.
nubbins`: one of
the nice
things about privilege is
that you don't need
to be aware of it
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is like distilled privilege what
the fuck is she on about.
bitcoinpete: "t’s not essential, or possible,
that
the privilege crowd fully understand bitcoin or
that
the bitcoin crowd fully understand privilege. What would be very helpful, however, is for both parties
to admit
the vast sums which comprise what
they do not know."
bitcoinpete: "Bitcoin enthusiasts don’t generally spend any
time
thinking about privilege. But greater computer literacy among
the poor and easier-to-use interfaces, along with addressing
tech’s gender problems should be a goal we all strive
toward."
nubbins`: ...i didn't
think you could put
them
together like
that
nubbins`: i know all
those words, but...
ozbot: Meet
the Gay Black Republican Selling Guns Online for Bitcoin
ninjashogun: "Bitcoin was not created by Satashi Nakamoto, but by another man of
the same name."
bitcoinpete: conan was only indicative of where
the middle is, or isn't
ThickAsThieves: "The discontentment is also
there when he
talks about
the first
time he was arrested, at 18"
ThickAsThieves: “The U.S. is making it extremely difficult for me
to stop being American.”
ThickAsThieves: "Satoshi Nakamoto — who, it
turns out, is an elderly Japanese man by
the same name, "
ThickAsThieves: "I have sworn not
to write
the name of
the island where Roger Ver is currently residing,
the reason being
that he fears for his life."

ozbot: Georgia Becomes First State in History

mircea_popescu: Georgia Becomes First State in History
to Pass
the Convention of States Application
ninjashogun: The main reason I ask here is because it is people who are
technical (almost by definition), have early vision and interest (almost by definition) and in many cases have enough funds
that
they can consider helping me on such a basis. Some people ahve been interested but
the amount is
too larger for
them, I understand but
that is nto
the kind of person I'm lookiing for.
ninjashogun: So, it was not people, it was one person, and he didn't leave but continues
to express 'definite' interest (we've prepared loan paperwork, etc). I!ve pressed several
times for a firm closure and he's repeated definite interest (instead of
taking
the chance
to say, look, it's not
that interesting
to him)
ninjashogun: I am looking for something similar
to what I found before, which is someone who is interested in exploring
the idea with me and would do so without necessarily having any big personal interest in it, other
than obviously not losing money on it.
nubbins`: why are you wasting your
time asking over and over?
nubbins`: it's like a child convincing dad
that a can of frosting is a good idea for lunch
nubbins`: and you
try
to argue
that it's in
their best interest
to do so
nubbins`: people
tell you precisely why
they will never, ever give you money
ninjashogun: It's not an "idea', first of all, I'm working on a company
that was founded mroe
than a year ago and has assigned IP as well as fullz developed prototypes
that prove concept, using vision, some robotics elements, arduino, etc.
ninjashogun: nubbins`, but nubbins doesn't mean anything
to me either.
nubbins`: and generally, adults don't give free money
to nobodies with "ideas"
nubbins`: it's
the fact
that YOU are saying it
ninjashogun: (those are just
two examples of
the
tech I've used.)
ninjashogun: nubbins`,
that's not
true. I guarantee 100%
that
there are people int his channel who know what vision algorithms are, and what electronics engineering and embedded programmigng are. 100% guaranteed.
nubbins`: bitcoin is littered with
the corpses of people who had better ideas and more resources
than you
nubbins`: ninjashogun: you need
to realize
that what you're saying means nothing
to anyone here
ninjashogun: nubbins` - fair enough. I've personally developed
the proof of concept using vision software as well as embedded electronics with an arduino
ThickAsThieves: loans are generally something
to be unenthusiastic about
ninjashogun: it's
the same
thing - something marketable
that needs something up-front. You can't just ask people
to speculate, you should extend
the possibility of a loan
to cover information asymmetry and personal responsibiilty. I wouldn't be gamblign with otehr people's money
nubbins`: because i have no reason
to believe
that you're capable of anything besides hanging around here and bumming for money
ninjashogun: nubbins`, how do you feel about a personal loan
to develop a proprietary hardware
tech past proof of concept stage?
nubbins`: you want one
to get your PhD in history? get fucked
nubbins`: you want a student loan
to learn a skilled
trade? sure, here ya go
nubbins`: TBH i don't
think
they should give loans for degrees/diplomas in navel gazing
nubbins`: hope
the photography "course" was worth it ;p
nubbins`: think about
that -- paying off a $25,000 loan at $33/mo
nubbins`: asciilifeform: she defaulted on her federal loans and has her wages garnishes,
that's why she's only paid back $2k in 5 years
mircea_popescu: chetty_
tons of single guys with delusions of leadership, self-importance and whatever else makes maybe a
ton of
twitter accounts
chetty_: well
tons of single guys does sorta make a mass ....something
mircea_popescu: i'd love nothing more
than contact with a large club of street people, but
these muppets ain't it.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
there's
tons of
these outfits consisting of basically one guy and his adobe illustrator pretending
to be in some form mass movements.
mircea_popescu: "Love what your doing but I see you do not send
to
the UK. My company are about
to leash a few ATMs on
the UK and would love
to get a hold of perhaps your ai or pdf so I could print some off
to give
to everyone who is attending our launch in Feb."
chetty_: I gave up reading about it, its all disinfo anyway, I just liked
that headline
chetty_: I'll hang you by
the balls and have you f***ed' – Ukrainian presidential hopeful abducts pro-Russian MP
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform your chick's not putting a machine gun in
the middle for
the same reason she's not getting laid
ThickAsThieves: “Zero
transaction fees is
the future,” Li said. According
to him,
the freemium business model is
the new norm of
the
twenty-first century, and no industry, not even financial services, is safe from its disruption.
mircea_popescu: they're doing it because a fool and his resources are soon partying, and once
the party's over
they'll just go back home and start
their own renaissances.
mircea_popescu: which is actually
the greatest boon on
the developing world : all
those mexicans, arabs etc leeching
the welfare states aren't doing it so
they may be us or eu citizens etc
mircea_popescu: curretnly
the mass migrations are from sane places
to idiotic places,
mircea_popescu: well no, but
that's besides
the point :
they are all excess, as per your definition.
mircea_popescu: it's like "it never ceases
to amaze me how
the impotent never rape anyone". well of course not. if
they could
they wouldn't be impotent.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
that looks like it could propel
the boat, in a spot.
