ThickAsThieves: everyone knows what someone means when
they ask what you
think
nubbins`: someone asks you
the
time, you don't say "where?" unless you're an idiot or a smartass
nubbins`: asking what you
think is a complete question, in
the sense
that asking
the
time is a complete question
nubbins`: you
taking offense didn't mean a row of beans
to him, unfortunately
ThickAsThieves: asking people what's on
their mind is at least a complete q
mircea_popescu: actually asking people you're not sexually intimate with "what's on
their mind' is quite offensive.
mircea_popescu: (btw, anyone noticed
this ? all female faces look best with
that distended jaw look of a cock inserted)
mircea_popescu: ok, different approach : i'm
thinking about why it is
that your granddaughter looks best with a cock in her mouth.
nubbins`: boring people say "about what?", interesting people
tell you what
they
think.
nubbins`: i've had some great conversations
that started with me asking someone what
they
thought
nubbins`: guy owned so much land he couldn't keep
track of it all
mircea_popescu: nobody went "i
think you should leave me all your monyz" ?
nubbins`: (i used
to date a girl whose very rich grandfather would stroll around parties asking people what
they
thought. when responded
to with "about what?", he would simply walk away)
mircea_popescu: what was
that study
that whatever primitive villages were 80%
the offspring of
the village chieftain or something
mircea_popescu: (incidentally, cazalla's rationale is perhaps why
traditionally leaders also fucked all
the women.
mircea_popescu: talk about cuckolding, you didn't even fuck all
the women
mircea_popescu: who
the fuck needs
the responsibility for 40 million disabled idiots.
ThickAsThieves: and you have
to be as crazy as kanye
to
take
the whole
thing
mircea_popescu: you can't buy
the crimea from russia any more
than you can buy kim kardashians' ass from her
BingoBoingo: Oh,
that ways Bitcoin will change
the world. Now Russia and Ukraine contest Crimea. In
the future someone in
this chan is going
to
think, "Now
that
this place is getting such attention
the weather seems nice" before buying
the penninsula from both warring factions
mircea_popescu: so since czechs ate slovakia, can't romania eat up
that ukraine pseudopod
there in
the south ?
mircea_popescu: why
the fuck does
this kid
think i banned him from assets?!
wao-ender: since 91', seem
that
telly didnt updated
their geo infos
MisterE: "While
the popularity of both innovations has grown quickly (even
though Coin is not yet available),
they still face key uphill battles"
ozbot: Bitcoin is creating a whole new set of problems pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: just big numbers pushed by
the clueless press and swallowed by
the superificial.
mircea_popescu: who happened
to be cleanning floors and be paid in stock options early in fb's history.
mircea_popescu: a no. apparently
there's some moral hazard embodied in zuckerberg's sister
CheckDavid: Magician later
turned into pseudo claims buster.
ThickAsThieves: As I read
TLP, I don't get much sense of gender, but I haven't read it
trying
to scrape
that out yet. Your
theory is sound
though, being
that I never knew Randi existed before reading
that.
ThickAsThieves: your own progeny is also interpreted as a way
to live posthumously.
The whole conversation can be starkly scientific, or frustatingly philosophical. intraductibillamawhatsit i guess.
ThickAsThieves: <mircea_popescu> all i'm sayin' is
that by your reasoning,
the farmer shouldn't plow
the field /// It's a lizard brain
thing -
the most innate
thing we're here
to do is reproduce, so i'd assume a man's desire
to bare his own blood is not only natural, but reinforced by male social roles. Of course
this is becoming quite distorted, as you point out about betas feigning alpha. Having
mircea_popescu: "The Napster controversy has
taught us
that you can't stop people who know more
than you do."
mircea_popescu: country producing nothing anyone wants
to country producing fuels and minerals everyone wants "herpderp isolation is u". might as well be some dork
talking
to scarlett j about how socially isolated she'll be if she continues being blonde.
mircea_popescu: Obama warned
that Russia's "continued violation of international law will lead
to greater political and economic isolation."
mircea_popescu: That's what happened
to Myspace. It
tipping pointed into "unemployed/some high school" and
The Ruling Class had
to sell it
to Ima Holla Achoo for 20x less
than
they bought it. Now it looks like Windows Mobile, which is demographically appropriate.
cazalla: guess
there are no JIDF here
cazalla: jew
too so must've really hurt
mircea_popescu: and
then he cheaped out on
tx fees, so his
tx was never confirmed in
time
mircea_popescu: the
thingwith snackman, as i recall it, is
that he sent a wager on an already known bet
dignork: cazalla, it's be an awesome response
to
the Giardian journalist from
the line above
cazalla: which was suggested
to avoid becoming a snackman
cazalla: i ripped
that one off
the gox one
dignork: mircea_popescu it's actually
too sad, you'd
think multi billion eco-system would provide more investement opportunities :)
mircea_popescu: kinda
the miracle of bitbet : because peoplke generally are so bad at evaluating opportunity, it's a fucking gold mine.
dignork: mircea_popescu i see, still
the chances for saturation are
too high for me :)
mircea_popescu: if you bet 1 btc at 100k weight, someone at 50k weight needs
to bet 2 btc
to get
the same effects
mircea_popescu: dignork payout will be lower, but proportional with
the weights involved.
dignork: mircea_popescu, ok so currently NO payout is ~1.4, if later it'd change
to 1000 NO vs 100 yes, payout will be lower, or is it ficed at
the moment of betting?
ozbot: BitBet - MtGox Bitcoin USD Exchange Rate >= $150 Before
the End of April 2013
cazalla: except for a small amount
to play with
dignork: mircea_popescu, yeah, but
the problem is
that if
there will be
too many NO bets return will be close
to zero
mircea_popescu: you can
trade $500 worth of btc
today for... 18k worth of btc in nov.
cazalla: i just dislike waiting 9 month wait for
the outcome on
those bets
dignork calcualtes if betting against is worth
the money
mircea_popescu: at
this point,
the EV of betting no on
that is about 10x better
than any fiat investment.
cazalla: i was going
to bet yes on
that
mircea_popescu: this shit's fucking incredible. btc is about 500ish,
the odds of 10k (ie, 2k% increase) are viewed as 1:3
cazalla: i meant
that i don't see
the
text mircea_popescu is responding
to
dignork: yep, but we have like 120 years
to fix it,
till
then
there probably won't be any 32 or 64 bit processors anyway :)
dignork: mircea_popescu
there is not much options
to implement lshift, especially if you have such cpu opcode
mircea_popescu: dignork nah, it's a problem of how
the compiler
translates
the code do machine and how
the processor runs it
then
cazalla: i
think i'm missing half
this conversation
mircea_popescu: so bitcoin wouldn't really display
the behaviour, we'd just end up with a fork
mircea_popescu: mod6 what i hear is
that >>= is not uniformly implemented on all platforms.
cazalla: so difficult
to argue it would've been
the same
cazalla: i went
to a bad public school
cazalla: i wanted
to stay home and play everquest and
that was
that
