<asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: i don't believe 90%+ of the derpage emitted by "advertising industry"
<< precisely this. as i understand, cargo cult.
ben_vulpes:
<mircea_popescu> eventually. once ben_vulpes figures out the basics of how to install servers and stuff

<mircea_popescu> to get back to fucking, ever left money on the nightstand of a woman that ~wasn't~ a whore ?
<< SUre, I wanted cigarettes when I came to
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: i confess i'm somewhat suspicious of anything which suggests to 'monetize' my site, which is more or less the polar inverse of 'monetizable' in the usual sense.
<< in fairness, i don't believe 90%+ of the derpage emitted by "advertising industry" in any way applies to van stuff.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: i'm open to it, so long as serious money and i don't have to promise any kind of detectable result to anyone.
<< van is kinda tailored for that last part, at least.
mircea_popescu: mike_c: you're probably already smoking it. you need to have a valuable audience.

<< i'd rather buy, honestly.

<< quite.
BingoBoingo:
<asciilifeform> mike_c: but who and why would spend actual money on it, is a mystery
<< Pretty much all I'd spend money on is "lol, cocks" or "White Africa Future" (link to interracial gangbang) or perhaps some other mischeif...
ben_vulpes:
<thestringpuller> okay for starters why cater to venues as the priority?
<< because catering to the masses is a losing proposition.

<mircea_popescu> nanotube hey listen, is there some way for gribble or
http://bitcoin-otc.com to be queried by gpg signature rather than nick ?
<- if you mean by gpg keyid/print, then gpg info supports query by keyid. website does not currently but in theory that can be arranged.
kakobrekla:

mircea_popescu: punkman: "the expenses the largest is legal at $296,000 followed by rent at $111,000"
<< shoudl be interesting what they rent for 111k. weren't the derps in san francisco whining coupla months ago that 10 / month / sqfoot is "outside of what a business can pay" ?
mircea_popescu: punkman: "The sale still has 28 days left to go; although we are not expecting much out of this remaining period, anything is possible."
<- why would it suddenly stop?
<< three gini guesses, and anything that's not "because they stopped wash trading" dun count.
mircea_popescu: punkman: sounds like some honest hard work over there
<< i wonder how much btc they get paid.
mircea_popescu: chetty: How exactly are we to successfully and correctly examine ourselves when the only ?normal? we know is found in the boiling pot of water we presently occupy?
