mircea_popescu: you know, sort-of like
the hiring pitch for webdevs
today
mircea_popescu: Duffer1
the artist wasn't paid so well, but he
took solace in
the notion his handywork will be embossed on generations of boxes.
Duffer1: wow
the engraving,
they put a lot of effort and care into
that
mircea_popescu: logo could be one of
those mechanical vaginal pears
they had cca 1600
☟︎ mircea_popescu: then get VCs
to finance me and spend
the rest of my life eating airline food and conference rubber ducks
ozbot: Twitter / Mircea_Popescu: And since we're
talking of ...
mircea_popescu: whoa. seems i accidentally found a way
to get past
twitter's 140 character limit
ThickAsThieves: stop searching "Who is
the fairest mentor of
them all"

the one who needs a little help on
the
topic.

mircea_popescu: nubbins`
tbh, it's shitty implementation on
the pp's part
nubbins`: "whoops,
the exchange rate changed slightly"
nubbins`: well if he'd
thought ahead, he would have bought a bit extra.
chipug: i
take it 51 cents are also not worth waiting for
ThickAsThieves: yeah
the openbsd donation did bring some nice new blood
Duffer1: ya
there was also a noticeable uptick in #bitcoin-assets participation after
that as well MP
nubbins`: mircea_popescu,
this is why people don't give
nubbins`: i love my wife, doesn't mean i give her a nickel every
time she does math wrong
PiratByran: just sucks having
to wait quite some
time for 51 cents :(
PiratByran: yeah, Ive been
to
third world contries I know
that argument haha, its cool makes sense
PiratByran: okay, no love here. sorry for
the bother
mircea_popescu: dude, i'm not giving you whatever dust because
that'll result in a bunch of other idiots
trying
to do
the same.
chipug: i've seen her dp on btctalk, she's a bonny lassy, she mustve gotten same hassle, why i
took pic off
PiratByran: I am a beggar. I will not pretend
to be above
that right now :P. I fucked up, and it would be very helpful for someone
to donate 51 cents
to me.
PiratByran: And because of various circumstances, I had
to use a convoluted method of buying bitcoins.
mircea_popescu: chipug it is. not
too often, more often mpoe-pr gets asked if she's a guy.
Duffer1: i'll stay out of
that one MP :P
PiratByran: Well, I was going
to purchase something for my friends birthday using bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: funny how
this shit works,
too, after april he
took a six months break
chipug: lol just how often do you get asked if it's you on
the horse mircea_popescu?!
Duffer1: "Max Keiser @maxkeiser 28s.@DogecoinCharity Nobody has created more BTC millionaires
than @KeiserReport I hope you weren't left behind."
ThickAsThieves: i can't even read
the Neo
thread anymore without using
the PR account, I have so many people ignored
Duffer1: ah
the internets, restart comp, meanwhile
the world changes
chipug: Duffer1:
the 'ipo kid' gif from mircea
chipug: that paper
towel
thing was fucking great way
to wake up,
thanks lol
ThickAsThieves: yeah
the same people
that go "if
this surch is so great, who so slowz!"
mircea_popescu: or from various panderers who are
too stupid
to pander intelligently or at least unstupidly
mircea_popescu: and
the rest
they get either from people who got all
their info from google and failed
to understand it
mircea_popescu: a good chunk of
the people listening
to jesse james or w/e
the mn govt's name was do however.
punkman1: Google is like
the central planning office of
the internet
mircea_popescu: all
the fuckwitted jimothies out
there are
the results of
the kitsch-wisdom created by google and wikipedia.
ThickAsThieves: she
thinks google is
too creepy and will create a small paradigm
ThickAsThieves: indeed, my wife is actually
the one who reminds me of
this
punkman1: my biggest gripe is
that exact search is no longer very exact
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves only because
they don't know what
they're missing.
mircea_popescu: they didn't start
this way, back when larry and serghey, but over
the course of "business" various moles slowly optimized
towards it
mircea_popescu: you'd rather have 5 second waits for excellent search pages
than
the current search pages in .5 seconds
punkman1: like I wanted
to put commoncrawl data on AWS and run my own queries, but fuck it if it's gonna cost me $20 per query
mircea_popescu: the
thing is, one of
the fundamental business strategy mistakes google fell into is
punkman1: spidering is
the easy part, indexing and answering queries fast is
the problem
ThickAsThieves: sucks
to not have a legion of competent programmers at our disposal
to explore every whim
mircea_popescu: have an actual coin whose pow is related
to spidering websites
mircea_popescu: a bitcoin google. you can advertise on it on
the bitbet model and fu govts.
mircea_popescu: that, incidentally, would be one of
the cool
things
to do :
mircea_popescu: bar
that, he could say something unstupid
that worked just as well
mircea_popescu: he could say something intelligent
that'd work just as well
ThickAsThieves: no he's saying it for
the people
that do worry about
that shit
mircea_popescu: he imagines
that "as long as i got my coffee and can yell
to
the wifey for sandwiches
the kids don;t know where in
the house i am
to come asking for money" ?
