that, in case

the fuck on earth could
they possibly do...
mircea_popescu: it's just
that 20% a year doesn'tmanage
to keep up with inflation,
that's all.
mircea_popescu: the difference being
that s&p made 32.4%, which is like... 3x averages over

to do with miracles or nye or
the debate or anything.
ThickAsThieves: well i'd rather see
that money go
to netflix subsciptions or whatever
the hell else it may have gone
to instead
BingoBoingo: The
thing about science/bitcoin/whatever is people can believe whatever
they want, while reality generally doesn't give a shit.
ThickAsThieves: give an idiot
the
time, and he
takes
the whole damn day
benkay: showing a baby picture
to a man is an aggressive act because it demands a reaction, you showing him a picture of your baby is entirely for your benefit and not at all for his, it is a dare, in much
the same way as a woman on a first date
telling you she doesn't play games is a dare, a dare you shouldn't
take,
trust me on
this, overpay
the check in cash and run.

ThickAsThieves: only Coinlab could have someone worrying about
the "integrity" of bankruptcy

to make sure
that when we do
this world-wide advertising [to promote an auction] we are not misrepresenting
to
the world what we have
to sell, because
the integrity of
the bankruptcy process is at stake."
ThickAsThieves: "Alydian doesn't have employees or an office, but it reimburses CoinLab for
the work it has done in
the mining process."
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves it's funny,
too. coinlab nao has moneyz
to seed start-ups
mircea_popescu: for instance if my roof disappeared and
then came back
ThickAsThieves: "As a fairly early Bitcoin adopter and institutional miner,
the choice for mining hardware comes down
to innovation. Who is going
to have
the experience and best
technology going forward
to keep me ahead of
the curve?
The fact
that BFL has a proven chip design, combined with
their innovations in form factor and node size means
that
they will be hard
to beat moving forward."
ThickAsThieves: "Butterfly Labs has shipped more ASIC products
than all competitors combined"

terms
davout: you guys are all
the jon snows of cheese
mircea_popescu: you don't actally need
to be able
to at all understand what
they say for
this purpose.
mircea_popescu: by
the criterion
that "it is pulp all which includes no intraducible complexity"
mircea_popescu: but you know, suppose you didn't for whatever reason have
the ability
to evaluate content.
ThickAsThieves: just sometimes beating your head against well is merely
that
mircea_popescu: if you never meet such complexity you're not doing a

trouble with a word in mp's pro-idiotas article. "intraductibility"
mircea_popescu: this is pretty spot-on, i do
think phebe novakovic has moar clearance
than most of
the senate.
mircea_popescu: ubly interesting because calculus was invented
to make hard work easier. "I just don't get math." Can't do math if you weren't
taught
to
think logically, and logic is
tough on kids' self esteems and makes
them way less submissive, easier just
to put on a video.
mircea_popescu: However, not all women are
the
target demo of Randi's lip synching,
the CEO of General Dynamics is a woman, I
think she has a higher security clearance
than
the entire Senate, and I know for a fact she builds alien spaceships, why not interview her about how she uses social media
to promote her brand and make connections and break ceilings? Because
there's no Like button for hard work or
triple integrals, which is do
