mircea_popescu: greenspan_fan infinite hitpoints.
the evisceration of each individual head of cattle is its own, private and special event.
Vexual: i expect dreadlocked hippies living in a squat isn't
the same
greenspan_fan: it just doesn't seem like enough
to point out how it goes
the same way every
time
Vexual: communism might be one of
those
thing
that one has
to experience
to fully understand
mircea_popescu: to spin
this into some sort of story of our pathetic colonies being relevant, let alone central...
mircea_popescu: the reality on
the field is
that france invented communism, and everyone
tried
to copy france
to some degree.
greenspan_fan: the problem w/ offering
to send people bitcoin is
that
the people who are doing it lately have like 0.001 btc
to
their name
mircea_popescu: this would be a fine example of why i hold
the guy for a complete ignoramus.
Vexual: they may have repurposed
the word
mircea_popescu: jesus god, yarvin actually argues
that
the us invented communism ?
Vexual: but
talking
to
the phone girls at publishing houses is so much fun
Vexual: you could ask
that
they are sent in a carbon nuetral fashion and all
mircea_popescu: i am not interested in a) enriching foreign
third parties or b) participating in relationships of any kind on any other structure
than as designed by me.
Vexual: mircea_popescu, it stikes me
that
the collected works of
this
taleb fellow might cost less
to buy
than 1bc, have you
tried his publisher(s)?
greenspan_fan: a friend of mine ordered a miner from
them and now uses it mainly as a space heater
greenspan_fan: it cost a lot, but you have
to spend dr. phil money
to become oprah rich
BingoBoingo: greenspan_fan:
That day you will ency BFL customers or what?
B007: I was
told around 100 000 so
BingoBoingo: Bar Rescue might be
the second best education in BTC business
B007: And I met
this pentester
that works at hp
davout: it kinda looks like
the store-your-porn kind of security device, not
the store-your-bitcoin-wallet
mircea_popescu: dun
tell me you deleted it, i just linked it from
twitter
davout: if
the first comment i get about it is "omfg
that is bad." :-)
davout: "and
these words convinced me
to blog-pukku"
mircea_popescu: davout i wouldn't particularly mind having
this
to hold over
taleb.
davout: and variations
thereof
davout: "oh hey, remmember
this bitcoin you gave me? lost it"
davout: it usually goes
that way in my experience
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Do you need someone
to
talk
to 'Muricans?
ozbot: BitcoinSports.eu - Bitcoin Sportsbook - Parlays &
Teasers - No Registration
BingoBoingo: Oh, how did
this n00b post
to a locked
thread?
BingoBoingo: greenspan_fan: People have
things
to say. Scammers
though prefer
to say less.
greenspan_fan: BingoBoingo but you'd
think
that after
the fifth encounter he might have something
to say?
BingoBoingo: greenspan_fan: Protesters are worthless unless
they go as far as Ukraine.
BingoBoingo: Vexual:
The way
the car is now, I might give myself epilipsy
trying
that.
greenspan_fan: BingoBoingo his repeated lack of response
to
those protesters is not a good sign either
Vexual: hook it up
to some interior disco leds BingoBoingo
BingoBoingo: greenspan_fan: I suspect more just Mark has a
touch of downs and imagines he can hug away his scams
greenspan_fan: so
the heuristic judgement suggests a significant amount of double spending
greenspan_fan: my impression was
that
they're past
the point of being a functioning business since
they're not bothering
to update/answer customers, and one of
the public facing parts of
their business (twitter) hasn't been updated and what is
there is embarrassing, since, like a month ago
benkay: anything interesting happen
today BingoBoingo?
BingoBoingo: greenspan_fan:
There is a lot
to learn from Vexual
Vexual: i wonder if
they even know how much
they double spent
Vexual: thats prolly exactly what
they're
thinking greenspan_fan
greenspan_fan: my personal belief is
that
they're fucked, but it'd be profitable
to know one way or
the other
greenspan_fan: or alternatively, sell your account/wallet
to someone else who
thinks
they're solvent
greenspan_fan: no, I mean, if you're able
to buy from
them and subsequently
transfer from
them
greenspan_fan: the fact
that it isn't (and assuming it's possible
to
trade in any volume) means
that you'd be selling/buying from people who clearly don't know as much as you do
mircea_popescu: so if mtgox recycles its deposits
to its own addresses fifty
times it now has paid out 50x its actual capital ?
greenspan_fan: it should be near zero or near
the other exchanges, if enough people knew if it was (in)solvent, right?
greenspan_fan: I am assuming it's hugely profitable for
those who have been keeping
track
mircea_popescu: the
thinking is
that you're more likely
to misinform
than inform
trying
to do
that.
greenspan_fan: hey, I was wondering: is
there anyone keeping
track of mt. gox's inflows/outflows? or are
those
too hard
to identify/untangle?
mircea_popescu: how
the fuck am i going
to read anything, im stuck here with you guise,
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
There is a huge gulf between an Officer and a Soldier
though.
mircea_popescu: of course
the great germany of ww1 fielded as many people as russia did,
mircea_popescu: this for very good reasons having
to do with mobilization
times.
mircea_popescu: the old plans (from ww2) called for germany
to sweep west into france and
then east
to russia
decimation: it's
true.
the invasion creates a Schelling point
mircea_popescu: before it had
to fucking invade. and
they likely wouldn't have cared
to find out.
mircea_popescu: a russian officer makes
the point
that most of
the russian soldiers didn't even know wtf germany is
mircea_popescu: decimation in one of
the countless retellings of
the entire nazi
thing (a woman in berlin)
mircea_popescu: decimation average han guy marching ~1700 days on foot
to reach moscow ?!
decimation: yeah exactly. 1942 US would not have been alpha enough
to marshal
the oriental hordes into invading moscow
mircea_popescu: whether its enemies actually bother
to call
the us on its gargle or not...
they still own it.
mircea_popescu: so yarvin delivers.
there, greenspan_fan is a short and sweet explanation of
the concept.
mircea_popescu: "You know, Goog, once you start lying,
there's really no end
to it. For one
thing, even if your enemies ignore lying, defensive evasion, and other
telltale "beta" behaviors,
they still own you." <<< whoa.
decimation: I've no doubt
that Stalin had
the motive and opportunity
