tipping point
topplage.
ThickAsThieves: well
the lower class is eating up everything above it no?
mircea_popescu: people, and us people in particular, fie
the notion
they may congregate with
the lower class.
mircea_popescu: "Let me offer a contrary position, unpalatable but worth considering:
the only appropriate
time
to wear make up is
to look attractive
to men. Or women, depending on which genitals you want

their
trusted issuers had money with pirate in
the first place...

totally 100% legit but we lost it all on pirate

they had lost it all on pirate were you
nubbins`: why
the fuck would a business owner -- of any size -- store funds in an exchange?
mircea_popescu: "When someone hates something
that
to outside observers looks exactly like
themselves in every way, you should quickly consult a French book
to see if
they don't have a word for
that phenomenon, and
they do, it's called projection."
mircea_popescu: as
to
the behaviour of
their risk management
teachers.
mircea_popescu: its a noteworthy mark of
the desperation of
the media re bitcoin
that
they're reducing
to putting forth
the opinions of frat boys

twitter handle "@el33th4xor" appears much more
trustworthy.
kakobrekla: >If I were
to encounter my bank's CEO on IRC, I would not
think "how cool and edgy, lemme get a screen cap, LOL," I'd put my money in a mattress and short
the bank's stock.
ThickAsThieves: "
the chatter coming out of
the Delta Sigma Pie Fraternity at Boston Uni is
that senior Frat colleagues have been expressing serious concern about
the progressively erratic behavior of Prof. Mark Williams."

that , until December 5th 2013, Mark Williams had never mentioned Bitcoin at all. But since December 2013 he has written over 50 postings on Bitcoin , in a little over
two months, with only a handful of his normal
type of postings about banking risks"

the "general" failed ignorance.

things, is doing everything right."
mircea_popescu: the phrase before
the mysql debacle is "I went
to
the Cornell dairy barn, I drank
the fizzy milk drinks
that
the agriculture students designed for
their masters projects.
The code being peddled under
the NoSQL rubric is analogous in its construction and quality."
mircea_popescu: who
the fuck is
this retard with delusions of competence ?
mircea_popescu: "If I had
to guess, I'd venture
that Mt. Gox is based on something like MySQL -- strongly consistent and not broken by design,
though perhaps slow and hard
to scale."
nubbins`: maybe
they should have distributed
the coding
too
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well at least all of
this "textual analysis" provides forumites a distraction from

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo all
these wannabe mps gotta study up on style!
wao-ender: > Romania will send gypsie batallions

the first one wasn't going

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Yeah,
the other incarnation was
the one linked here first
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: He made
two of
them, one in securities and
the other in scam accusations
nubbins`: i remember responding
to
that
thread
nubbins`: much better
than "did you see ___ on
television" or w/e
nubbins`: you can see
the gears start
turning in people's heads
davout: nubbins`: nope, it's
the walking away part
nubbins`: well, now
that we've come
to
the conclusion
that asking people what
they
think is
trollish, invasive, and grossly offensive
nubbins`: might as well ask about
the
thread count of his sheets
mircea_popescu: ""I had Christ in my mouth for over an hour!" was a post funeral
text from a woman who... what? I'm not a Catholic so it
took me a few minutes
to piece
together
that
this lunatic meant she had kept
the Eucharist from
the funeral mass in her mouth without swallowing it for an hour-- as if
that meant something."
nubbins`: and fwiw, he was an asshole, but since when is
that criteria
davout: nubbins`: you're not special, my grandpa is an asshole
too :D
mircea_popescu: one wonders how
the guy got married in
the first place.
davout: ThickAsThieves: no because
that means you're boring
ThickAsThieves: if I say What's up? and you don't say "the ceiling" you're
the ass?
ThickAsThieves: i'm unable
to ask for clarification
to
the q without being
trolled?
nubbins`: so you're unable
to summon an answer
to an open-ended question?
ThickAsThieves: i mean
this assumption
that when someone asks a question,
there is a context
nubbins`: what do you
think of
the quarterly financials?
