KRS1: I have one for you,
then
tell me.
KRS1: instead of learning slovakian, might want
to start learning chinese
mircea_popescu: yeah. english has it but it's mostly... unknown so
to speak.
Neil: Much more prevalent in French
than English
Neil: subjonctive: Is
that franglais or sthg?
mircea_popescu: jeden nikdy nevie = nu se stie niciodata. a sti,
to know, se stie is roughly
the subjonctive. so
the function is done by
the verb rather
than by a pronoun.
mircea_popescu: ja ma mi, so jenen is in fact "one". romanian doesn't have it.
there's cineva = somebody, but
there's no "one" as an impersonal Is person.
jurov: but if you were
to say she goes on my nerves,
then
jurov: den is day but
that's unrelated
mircea_popescu: turns out
the slovaks invented all
teh romanian jokes :D
mircea_popescu: so i
take it slovak policemen go around in pairs because one can read, one can write,
too, right ?
jurov: one comes home and wife
tells him
jurov: well, slovak (and i
think other) policemen have similar problem,
too
mircea_popescu: they seem more inclined
to
take out
the us socialist government.
mircea_popescu: "We don't
trust anything anymore. Not even
the banking institutions," Partcha said. "I had saved in dollars, and when
the banks froze deposits in 2001, I got pesos back and lost my money."
KRS1: Once
the 3 quarter billion chinese are armed
they should
take out
their communist government for a shot at some freedom.
mircea_popescu: but don't worry, i'll
tell it again so it becomes funny.
mircea_popescu: "Hmm... so many chinese... where
the fuck do we burry
them all ?!"
mircea_popescu: at which point
the local
troop is
taken aback and
they
turn around
to speak among
themselves
mircea_popescu: "But do you realise
the great nation of Han is over a billion strong ?
That
the US falls over itself
to do whatever we
tell
them
to ?
That we can call under arms about a quarter billion people within
two weeks ?"
mircea_popescu: eventualy
they discover it's a province of Romania and not even autonomous, so
they
tell
their ambassador at Bucharest
to go on a
trip
to Caracal and see what in
the fuck.
mircea_popescu: the chinese are kind-of shocked, spend about a week
trying
to find large enouygh maps so
this Oltenia is shiwn on
them
mircea_popescu: so, one day
these guys (about 2mn
total) declare war
to china.
mircea_popescu: there's
this ethnic group in romania, living in Oltenia (the south west), called olteni.
they have a reputation of being sorta hillbilly-ish.
☟︎ jurov: fico comes
to china (he likes
to go
there) and
they ask him: how many slovaks
there are?
jurov: ah yes. we have a joke about
this
mircea_popescu: just because most of
their city is undeveloped doesn't mean it's not a city now :D
mircea_popescu: KRS1 well
that may have something
to do with 0 people using mtgox you know.
KRS1: I personally did not find it useful.
There were not pictures of clowns or anything colorful on
that pr.
jurov: <mircea_popescu> and we didn't even know
the city exists! << which city you mean?
KRS1: 0 people found

assbot: [HAVELOCK] [DEALCO] [PAID] 5.00000000 BTC
to 50`000 shares, 10000 satoshi per share
ozbot: The Curious incident of Big Poppa -
The Notorious XX - Wait What - YouTube
BingoBoingo: Bitch wants me
to insure
their BTC balances
though doesn't want my niggers.txt. Loser?
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: I said nothing about your mystery code. I called your language garbage
though
herbijudlestoids: the
thing is i know, because i used
to do all my analysis in python and found R
to be much quicker
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: I mean if you want letter perfect code Common LISP is
the language, but in
the garbage you pasted I can't say if you are protecting from garbage overloads or some shit.
BingoBoingo: Attic Greek is old enough skipping
to Sabine
taming Latin is reasonable. R is old enough skipping
to Python is reasonable (though Ruby is never reasonable).
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: I don't speak R
to
the computer for
the same reason I don't speak Attic Greek in conversation
herbijudlestoids: BingoBoingo: you might, i dunno, i just
thought you migh
tlike
to see it, i pulled
the data from #bitcoin-assets-trades and processed in R :)
herbijudlestoids: i can do in R in about 5 lines what
takes ~100 lines in python
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids:
That common LISP or PYthon could be less verbose.
herbijudlestoids: do you wanna see my new
tick distribution from
the last 48h?
this is per 10
tick returns
BingoBoingo: Before
the end of February I imagine my site is going
to requite a niggers.txt file
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: Have you ever given
thought
to
the possibility
the universe just might hate R and want
to make a mockery of it.
BingoBoingo: It seems like a rather futile enterprise
to
try, but if
the Doge'ers are as brazen as
they seem
to be now.
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: I am
trying
to get some play sports book
to let a freiend who hasn't cared for long enough's funds
decimation: Interesting. I must log now, but I will read
through
this in
the future.
ozbot: FOFOA: It's
the Flow, Stupid
herbijudlestoids: even in
the advent of
the petrodollar, under
the assumption
the dollars could be redeemed on
the spot market for physical gold
herbijudlestoids: yesterday
today and in
the future
the saudis have always demanded gold
decimation: Okay, but
the question is: what will
the saudis demand in
the future?
herbijudlestoids: demand gives
the value, so unless ECB and saudis start demanding
to save in BTC it will never be store of value
herbijudlestoids: this all goes back
to mises regression
theory,
that money is whatever people (especially
the marginal producer/consumer aka saver/borrower) use for money. ECB, peoples bank of china, oil surplus like Saudis all understand gold in
the role of store of value,
therefore gold is
the store of value
herbijudlestoids: the implicit assumption is
that
the MoE should be soft, grow/contract along with
the economy
herbijudlestoids: FOFOA argument is
that bitcoin versus USD is a non competition, real competition is BTC versus "what comes next" i.e. EUR+Gold
herbijudlestoids: store of value for marginal producers/savers
to be carried out in gold (see ECB balance sheet)
herbijudlestoids: EUR was by design (4 decades in
the making)
to
take
the role of USD on its eventual failure in
those roles, but only in
the roles of medium of exchange and unit of account
herbijudlestoids: right now, USD plays
the role of reserve asset (i.e. store of value), medium of exchange and unit of account globally and especially in
the case of marginal producers
herbijudlestoids: its about roles, what asset plays what role
to
the aggregate world aka "superorganism"
decimation: but FOFOA seems
to argue
that gold is held in stronger hands
decimation: Moldbug would seem
to argue
that Bitcoin is harder
than gold, by virtue of its finite supply
herbijudlestoids: full disclosure i converse with FOFOA occassionally and some market info and
thoughts i have passed onto him have been included in some of his work. i claim no particular insight just provided otherwise proprietary market information
herbijudlestoids: would you like some links? easiest
to google fofoa freegold and in
the sitemap on google are a bunch specifically on
the
topic
herbijudlestoids: i do not compare gold (or btc)
to stocks when evaluating its job as a store of value
herbijudlestoids: yes,
thats why i brought up FOFOA, because a few of
the
things mircea mentioned were very similar
to
things FOFOA has said about
the concept of freegold
decimation: Perhaps I am deluded, but I
thought it clarifed matters w.r.t. currency adoption
decimation: herbijudlestoids did you read
the moldbug essay
to which your FOFOA link points?
mircea_popescu: anyay,
this has been enough excitement for one day.
take care all!
decimation: Certainly whoever wrote
that virus wouldn't be dumb enough
to use unique addresses?
mircea_popescu: if
they get
the 42k value by looking at which addresses
those 2 btc were spent
