punkman: why do you think people with RED cameras don'
t use steadicams?
nanotube: punkman: nope, that data isn'
t stored in the gpg database.
mircea_popescu: idiot's always felt emboldened by his purely political, stupideological decision that the effective, immediate answer of the intelligent "don'
t exist".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you don'
t understand how the idiots work,.
joecool: i really don'
t know what my name is a reference to, i've been using it so long now it just stuck
punkman: nanotube: shouldn'
t names match between GPG.db and RatingSystem.db?
mircea_popescu: computers have worked exactly that same way, too. there's people who cli and then there's the hopeless horde looking for the any key. there's nothing in between, nor should there be, and kids learning to "program for the web" aren'
t ever going to become professionals.
mircea_popescu: disney is butthurt that it doesn'
t make that list, but it definitely never will.
mircea_popescu: "really honey, you wanna fuck but don'
t wanna suck ? oh, and this is up to you, is it ? stfu and swallow it!"
bounce always somewhat disliked TeX-typeset material. computer modern isn'
t a great look, even though each letter is shaped by whatwasit 60-odd parameters.
mircea_popescu: just like the plumber using silicone curing isn'
t a silicone professional in any sense.
mircea_popescu: it wasn'
t so dead at some point in 1920, of course, but that only to us. i'm sure in 1920 some similar dispute raged, either about draughstmanship or some other sort of engraving.
mircea_popescu: bounce anyway, so stated our dispute boils down to me saying that it is upon you either to present an outside criteria or else yield. (which is why i assumed your criteria is presented, and summarized it as "pre digital"). my point generally is that you can'
t present any meaningful criteria anyway.
mircea_popescu: there are, of course, still prohpets around. doesn'
t mean religion ain'
t dead.
mircea_popescu: bounce your argument that "there's still deluded idiots pretending that "painter" is an adequate synonym for "bum" " fails to support your earlier assertion that "photography hasn'
t killed painting".
bounce: try and read the thing without assuming there won'
t be a professional photographer. there will be, just like photography didn'
t kill the painter.
mircea_popescu: "evolutionary path from amateur to professional has been economically closed off by marketing." <<< there isn'
t going to be a professional photographer anymore than there's going to be a professional dresser.
mircea_popescu: 9k not the same, i don'
t care what the pretense at hand is.
xiando: "We'd just like to make sure we won'
t get in trouble for what we have already been doing for years down the line" -FBI
mircea_popescu: "elvis lives, feminism matters, we can save africa/the world/other entities that don'
t care to be saved nor do they care about us", stuff like that.
thestringpuller: i don'
t think the redditards understand the consequences of a hardfork ~_~
ben_vulpes: <kakobrekla> ... $8500 << currently dealing with something very similar. programmer programs a thing in django, goes to "deploy" it but doesn'
t know much on the topic beyond "hey heroku's a good host". fast forward four years, heroku bill is now in excees of 300 dollars a month because it's so much easier for people who "just write code" (if plugging the duplo of rails or django into itself can be called such) to click the "yes please
pete_dushenski: thickasthieves: pete modified it << if i had the skillz to do that, we wouldn'
t need ben_vulpes asciilifeform mod6 and the real foundation ;)
bounce: not short on ambition, aren'
t you.
punkman: doesn'
t even trade on Nov 1
mircea_popescu: saturday night tho ? ZERO! i don'
t mean, most of the fat ones with good business didn'
t bother, leav ing just a few of the sketchier, hungrier fellows. no, i mean exactly zero. as if saturday night is not a time. not part of the world. does not exist.
cazalla: afterall, i wouldn'
t want anyone to think i'm slacking
mats_cd03: do they ship to the us cazalla? can'
t seem to find it
punkman: I don'
t think I've seen your name
ninjashogun: <ninjashogun> I realize that you also are careful about your online footprint so you will appreciate this. I think I didn'
t realize that it's a publicly-indexed log at the time.
ninjashogun: <ninjashogun> hi - could I ask you to remove my full name from the logs. I have been open about what it is and it appears once or twice in the bitcoin-assets logs. I realize that this ecosystem is very different and that people here don'
t believe in traditional startups, but I have investors doing due dilligence on me, and it is uncomfortable to come up in google results.
cazalla: the army machine gunned the emus but it wasn'
t enough
xiando: I guess it makes sense if you don'
t have a bunch of servers and websites yourself
jurov is debugging a turdatron. don'
t want to make verbs from it
gernika: cazalla I like the background given on investors and founders involved in the startups covered. Don'
t have a specific example in mind, but I like the digging.
gernika: I have seen discussion of that on Trilema, I believe. Doesn'
t that arrangement depend on a trusted third party? The creditor?
mircea_popescu: are you aware that trade as-is is credit-supported so people don'
t actually need to put up even the actual value of the items ?
gernika: But you don'
t need to. The seller puts the value of their item in btc in escrow. The buyer puts double the value of the item in btc in escrow.
mircea_popescu: no, it can not, because you can'
t multisig dollars, or bars of gold.
gernika: Well, an escrow that doesn'
t make any decision in the event of a dispute except to say both parties are out their escrow.
gernika: mircea_popescu So in a case where two parties have no information about each other (which is essentially the same as when one party is in the WoT and one isn'
t, or when one party wants to do a trade they're not rated for), a nash equilibrium allows a way to incentivize both parties to complete the transaction faithfully by forcing both parties to risk the value of the item being traded contingent on the trade being completed
mircea_popescu: isn'
t it fucking cold in east fucking anglia, nov 1st ?
mircea_popescu: which is why people who pretend to trade but aren'
t in the wot, and ESPECIALLY people who pretend to raise capital/issue equity but have no experience whatsoever are suspect.
mircea_popescu: gernika well, one could put the time in to build himself and steal some, but the idea is that he wouldn'
t really manage to steal more than what not stealing is worth on a discouinted basis for him.
gernika: mircea_popescu Ah ok. Got it. Didn'
t think about how people would evaluate the WoT differently for different magnitudes of transactions. It actually does help with the long con problem. So one could do 50 1 btw transactions, then steal the last btc, but that's about all. Yes I've read what-the-wot...
mircea_popescu: basically you're saying "if people weren'
t using the wot how could their actions not impact the wot'. well... they already don'
t.
mircea_popescu: you don'
t understand how thw world works. "mom" would like a place to drop off the kid while she does "other things". (no, i don'
t mean fucking. if only. i mean going around shitty clothes shops in the mall and feeling each individual item buyt not buying anything, then hitting the food court)
chetty: <mircea_popescu> chetty: someone explain to me how all those feminists justify putting little girls scanty costumes? << "all men are pedophiles and rapists because the only feminine females left around are under 16 yo because we educate little girls to act like lolis and then after puberty we try and make them into obnoxious whales" ?// ?? we is all men? interesting and does explain much but still doesn'
t explain the mommy behavior dressing them
ben_vulpes: phil doesn'
t quite get the notion of a maxmum, i warrant.
ben_vulpes: not my field, so i can'
t really speak to any of it.
mircea_popescu: i mean, isn'
t it just what hookers say to the cops, like the guy caught pissing in public pulls the bladder condition ?
mircea_popescu: ~~~ ben_vulpes:ain'
t no training going to fix that kind of stupid ~~~
mircea_popescu: i was going to send you a pack of biscuits, peanut for the dog, chocolate for the fox. none for you, ofcourse, as men don'
t need to eat. sadly thestringpuller doesn'
t seem ready to take orders still.
thestringpuller: it's amazing how trick or treaters are declining cause parents don'
t let their children eat candy these days
adlai: +mircea_popescu | but i tell you, when you can'
t tell a mvp from a fake vietnamese boot the whole thing's dead in the water. << in high school, each year the MVP of the girl's field hockey team was... all the seniors on the field hockey team, together
mircea_popescu: but i tell you, when you can'
t tell a mvp from a fake vietnamese boot the whole thing's dead in the water.
BingoBoingo: Well it will be over soon. I don'
t think after November there will be many post-World Cup sports bets left.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo thanks for pointing that out btw, hadn'
t been paid yet so salvageable.
jurov: BingoBoingo: wait i don'
t see my litecoins yet :D
mircea_popescu: this is like saying you don'
t like fishing because you've been in a hurricane once.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> if there were a 'pepsi' alternative to usg, folks who can make any claim at value would be defecting in droves. << there is, they aren'
t.
thestringpuller: Random and off topic. Pierre_Rochard was telling me about a country whose economy was riddle with Ponzi Schemes to the point real businesses were losing value because the ponzi's outnumbered the real businesses. I think it's Albania
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_schemes_in_Albania Maybe someone can help shed more light as he didn'
t know what the country was at the time.
undata: rulers which don'
t care about the lives of their underlings eventually burn
mircea_popescu: who mostly got eaten by wolves or w/e, or the 1000-1010 generation, that didn'
t even exist.
mircea_popescu: the 2000-2010 generation of usians isn'
t anymore lost than the 1500-1510 generation of usians
undata: mircea_popescu: when you get used to masters which withold food, don'
t you dream of otherwise?
mircea_popescu: so does everyone, what, you think kaybosh hungerlice of kenya isn'
t trying ?
undata: no, I don'
t. it's not socialism for my family to feed itself
mircea_popescu: you don'
t like the ulterior effects of socialism, but you do like some of the premises, such as "X for all", as in, "a future for all", "a chance for all" etc.
mircea_popescu: has all the spunk that hasn'
t filled a vagina been wasted ? how about that's not been swallowed ? rubbed on tits ?
mircea_popescu: hmm can'
t find it now, but ayway, there's an entire wank niche dedicated to woman-to-cow transformations, woman-dairy farms etc.
mircea_popescu: if you don'
t eat a bit of lard, some rat will find it.
