mircea_popescu: "Rather, the decline is cyclical and as the economy improves, Furman said, millennial headship rates will improve, which could translate into eventual ownership."

<mike_c> poor analogy. i'm not looking for pointless barrier. this is why wife needs to be of certain quality. // those with whom one spends ones time in general...
benkay:

benkay:
<mircea_popescu> it's not really "or else". // whose wives don't do as told?
benkay:
<mike_c> you pay $500,000 to have a cute little thing that loves you for 10 years, hates you for 8, and then hopefully respects you after that. // ideally. sculpting them into not-biodiesel is generally frowned upon in these parts.

bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves this is the benefit of aging. you start to realise your time is worth more than money.
<< a lesson few, even more aged, grok. intentionally i often suspect, as they're too unimaginative to find better uses for their time
chetty:
<asciilifeform> bitcoinpete: this (as discussed in the log) is not a thing in every u.s. uni, but only at the 'ivy' ones (most expensive, direct ladder to the lizardocracy)//trickle down will get there

bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: pigeons: wow really they are already trying to damage control the 1% of the press they get that isn't positive? and from a bitcoinpete (no offense lol) blog post?

<< OMG Bob Beck has a path to redemtion if he takes it
BingoBoingo:

<< Rich fools are a resource to harvest like any other until the simply become fools
BingoBoingo:
<mircea_popescu> nobody wants those. this is surprising to nobody outside of us folk i would think.
<< Well considering that most US local and state level economic development projects consist of efforts to attract and create consumers... Yeah
mircea_popescu: “To have a nation, you must have people and you must have young people to be able to drive the economy and young people buy the products — all these gadgets and fine dining — and if you don’t have that, and you refuse migrants as the Japanese do, you will just dissolve into nothingness! I think before that comes, they may change (their) policy.”

<-- because it has nothing to do with addresses
mircea_popescu: it leaves nothing up to chance and randomnes
<< this is a problem.
mircea_popescu: mike_c: i'm probably the only idiot in here, but in case there is one other: "3 indicates a "pay-to-script-hash" address that contains a hash (one way fingerprint) of a script that can be used for multiple things including address obfuscation and multi-signature requirements."
<< tl;dr : 3addresses are an unnecessary and crufty thing some idiots pretend they've added to bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: pigeons: wow really they are already trying to damage control the 1% of the press they get that isn't positive? and from a bitcoinpete (no offense lol) blog post?
<< the 1% happens to be what matters in this field.
