ThickAsThieves: i'm going with "btc withdrawals are now partially open, so we can monitor
the situation
mircea_popescu: you know
the girls do most of
the sliming. which is kind of weird seeing how
the boys get most of
the hurt if
they didn't.
ThickAsThieves: girlslime, pretty sure
thatd make
the politically incorrect list
mircea_popescu: nubbins` ok, let's
try as an abstract :
there's an awful chasm \between
the people who want
to cum and
the people who are willing
to operate under
the inconvenience of actually getting all
that girlslime all over
their cock.
mircea_popescu: benkay no. i only read
the parts
that i can use (twice).
the rest i don't read at all :D
nubbins`: mircea_popescu,
there comes a point where you have
to
turn it into an abstract
benkay: mircea_popescu: did you see
the part where i said "although..."
trailing off while pondering
the work/payoff function?
mircea_popescu: there is an awful chasm between people who want encryption and people who are willing
to operate under
the inconvenience of actual security. << into
the permanent records of bitcoin-assets
this goes.
ThickAsThieves: <asciilifeform> main challenge will be assisting noobs in learning
to 'tell shit from shinola.' /// sounds like competition is needed
mircea_popescu: that's exactly equal
to saying cca 2009 "well if some bitcoins appear on my harddrives i'll be glad. i'm not abouit
to run bs code on my computer which i need for
trying
to strip naked
the sims"
mircea_popescu: benkay:if
the opportunity presents itself i'd be happy
to. i'm not about
to cold-call all
the international law firms in dc,
though. <<< because why ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: benkay: what kind of idiot would buy at 1000x? <<
the kind of idiot
that expects service, which maximally extended is
the kind of idiot who only deals with people in his wot. so basically, any serious businessman.
mod6: are
they ready
to order?
mircea_popescu: buy $5k worth of cardanos and $15k worth of suits, hassle execs for
three months and bill $3.5mn worth of bs.
mircea_popescu: benkay:sell everyone cardanos at 1000x markup. << i
think you're
the fifth guy planning
to do basically
that.
nubbins`: better your head
than your bowel
mircea_popescu: Maybe
that was
the last quoted price before
the MPOEbot went down. << exactly.
davout: hmm how does
that
thing work?
mircea_popescu: "Enky makes good posts" << is
this
the guy
that bought
t credits and rated me for it >?
assbot: Aren't
those
tins of
tobacco right
there behind you?
nubbins`: but
those
two
things so rarely go
together
nubbins`: i
think wait staff does
too much running around
to make good eating
mircea_popescu: especially... what i want
to know is what he did
to
the weasel.
nubbins`: we will, yes, sure. but i'm
talking about whether we won't
mircea_popescu: deadweasel just admitted
to slashing a vietnamese girl while drunk ? or did i misread ?
nubbins`: ThickAsThieves, on
the bright side, we won't remember being asleep
nubbins`: too many assumptions and
too many one-way events
nubbins`: or a simulation
to see what shade of yellow
the eggs in your cake were, etc
nubbins`: might as well do a simulation of a pile of rotten mush
to see what shape
the banana was
nubbins`: if so,
to what resolution? etc
nubbins`: is a sim gonna show you what
those
two galaxies looked like before
they crashed?
nubbins`: consider
the benign case of
two galaxies smashing
together and merging
KRS-One: right but if we can model
the universe somewhat and reverse
time..
nubbins`: relative
to earth? we're flying
through space
mircea_popescu: might as well
try
to determine where on your body is
the place where your mom got laid.
nubbins`: well, what's your frame of reference for locating
the singularity?
KRS-One: if everything came from
the singularity wouldnt
there be
that specific point in some kind of reference
to us?
mircea_popescu: or at least, not particularly more in one place
than
the other.
mircea_popescu: KRS-One
the location where
the big bang occured is not within
the universe.
nubbins`: eh, not sure such a
thing is yet possible
KRS-One: there was
the wmap project but
that wasnt a specific goal
KRS-One: wonder if anyone has
tried
to pinpoint
the location in
the universe
to
the precise location where
the big bang occurred,
taking into account skew or any offset
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell cads actualy, it is not, not
that i don't appreciate your culture on
the
topic.
the difference is subtly
this :
that what you propose is geared
towards
the present and
the future, a matter of action, whereas what i was discussing was strictly as
to
the past and a matter of representation.
nubbins`: in a just universe, .bait would link you
to
the proof of a
theorem
nubbins`: Mathematical knowledge is unlike any other knowledge. Its
truths are objective, necessary and
timeless.
nubbins`: ^ old hat
to many of you, but stories like
this always get my gears
turning
nubbins`: that's got
the makings of a great
thesis statement
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i dunno if you've noticed
this, but
the logs are pretty much
taylored for my convenience. if i'm up, an hour stretches over like 300 lines. yet
the
ten hours im asleep look in
the log like an hour and a half.
nubbins`: yeah last
thing we heard from you was <mircea_popescu>
time
to shave my beard so i'll know how long i've been asleep
nubbins`: mircea_popescu, i've been inducted into
the ranks of pmb/rubecoin pushers
nubbins`: hey,
this was dead until you brought it up again :P
benkay: or at least stop
trying
to foist your differentiation of scams on -assets
benkay: yeah so let
the scammers alone
nubbins`: benkay: but i'm already doing both of
those
things D:
mircea_popescu: somehow i imagined a monkey
trying
to fire an ak would end up flying.
benkay: or alternatively accept
that 99.99999 of people are going
to get fucked
their whole lives,
throw up hands and not give fucks.
benkay: that makes like nobody
that should be 'allowed'
to play with
these dangerous
toys
benkay: and 0.01% of people
that are careful
benkay: but
there's 0.01% of people
that are smart
benkay: they might get ripped off if
they're not really smart and careful!
benkay: i suppose
this is why normal humans aren't allowed
to buy fancy paper in
the us
nubbins`: unfortunately, getting 6btc for a coin
that cost ~1.2btc is a very rare
thing
