mircea_popescu: kinda what got me, you know ? it never fucking won. gets boring
to watch it if you know
the result aforehand
mod6: I supposed after enough chance encounters, sooner or later
the otherside wins one.
mircea_popescu: irl
the coyote eventually fucks up
the roadrunner. badly.
mircea_popescu: i get it,
the socialist mind wants
this
to be
the case. yet... shiut doesn't work
that way.
mod6: hhaha, i dunno. guess he's just
too fast.
mircea_popescu: but why ?
the coyote
tries shit,
the roadrunner does not. yet it always comes ahead.
mod6: Wile E. Coyote running off cliff without realizing
that
there is no ground beneath his feet reminds me of U.S. econ.
mod6: i kinda liked
the Road Runner.
TomServo: Road Runner was a Loony
Toon btw
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves
tho
this may be more a function of photographic
technology. sometime around my puberty
they figured out how
to
take your picture without blinding you with
twelve billion watts.
TomServo: That fro
though;
That's impressive.
TomServo: I preferred, M.A.S.K, COPS and
transformers
mircea_popescu: i hated
that hanna barbera shit. scooby doo,
the jetsons, roadrunner,
the works.
mircea_popescu: don't
tell me you're a fan of
the cartoon dorkage of
the 80s
TomServo: check out
the funbags on
that hosehound'
mircea_popescu: b0n1 fwiw, it's more likely doge
than whatever botnet.
mod6: nice chart,
thx
TomServo
mod6: i like btcwisdom for its fibonacci fans&retracement
tools
mod6: so what happened
to LTC difficulty? fell off a
table ~1/20/14
TomServo: Because
the price shot up around
the same
time
b0n1: well doge was much longer more profitable
than ltc, right? why do people switch so rapidly?
TomServo: b0n1: You're wondering about
the drop in LTC hashrate? Around
the 19th?
b0n1: what do you
think?
The drop at january is much later
than
the cleaning update, right? Did
they clean directly when
the cleaner was included in
the microsoft update, or did
they install
the cleaner and
trigger
them simultaneously at a given
time in
the middle of january?
ThickAsThieves: your first problem is
thinking a bitcoin stock chart is going
to make sense
jurov: nubbins
try
to approach some existing forums with your congenial idea
nubbins`: so shady
they don't wear sunblock on hot days
azi`: KRS1: so
they are a bit shady..
mircea_popescu: rather
than
try
to finagle a fundamentally unpaying model into paying you
mircea_popescu: nubbins` well
that's kinda it, as a general principle. if you want
to get paid do something
that pays
KRS1: they disabled submit buttons in
the past
azi`: KRS1: hm? what does
thatmean
KRS1: they've done other
things like disabled onclick actions when you
try
to submit a form
nubbins`: but
that aside, i can't see myself running a free-for-all forum
nubbins`: tbf, if i wanted
to get paid well, i'd not have retired from IT
azi`: i am wondering if
they use
this
to stall funds on
the site...
azi`: so weird.. if you want
to withdraw funds from mtgox and send
them
to another BTC you are faced with "invalid BTC address" error multiple
times and it only works after a random amount of "submit clicks..
mircea_popescu: forums are god awful for
this purpose. do something
that pays.
mircea_popescu: but listen, if what you want is
to get paid, you should do something else
than a forum
nubbins`: and
the real nice stuff, like plans for equipment, is hidden inside
the premium members subforum
nubbins`: not required, but you're mercilessly browbeaten if you leech
too much good advice without buying one.
nubbins`: justifiable if
the content is
there
nubbins`: (a)
to cover costs and (b)
to get paid
mircea_popescu: well
then if you ban everyone what do i care ? i'll never know.
nubbins`: hence
the original question ;D
nubbins`: well i was
thinking about banning everyone by default
nubbins`: not a lot
to discuss yet, but figured it'd be nice
to have something in place for when
there is
nubbins`: specifically, one with some sort of in-game beastie incorporated into
the logo
nubbins`: does
that extend
to likenesses of assets or just
the originals?
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: regarding s.mg forums/wikis/etc,
the deal is one cannot simultaneously use game assets and accept payment?
nubbins`: put it on soundcloud and let
the world hear
ThickAsThieves: i wanna share a song i just finished, but have no one
to share with
nubbins`: "sorta like"...
they make shock collars for small dogs
too :P
nubbins`: it's like
the pay
toilets in korea, you stop feeding coins and
the door pops open
herbijudlestoids: the house price
to income in aus is about 4 atm and about 3 in
the US
nubbins`: actually
the reverse would be great for
the gym
nubbins`: guess it's not for
the gym either
mircea_popescu: The “True Love
Tester” bra can’t be masterfully unhooked by some skeevy player who hit on
the wearer at a club. No,
this bra only comes undone when sensors embedded inside it
that are connected wirelessly
to a smartphone app detect a particular heart rate
nubbins`: not sure if it says more about here or
there
nubbins`: imagine,
the descendants of fishmongers from what is historically canada's poorest province, scooping up florida real estate like monopoly properties
nubbins`: only one person who regulars
this chan cares about central ohio ;p
mircea_popescu: the "half a house" comment probably references older discussions re
the housing market in central ohio
mircea_popescu: point remains,
there is a LOT of variance in both housing prices and salaries in
the us.
herbijudlestoids: just checked
to confirm US avg salary is $52k USD and AUS avg salary is $73k AUD, evens out
to be about 50/70 on a PP basis
nubbins`: know
the average income of
the city bill gates lives?
herbijudlestoids: in aus
the house price
to avg salary ratio is double
the US, so 100BTC is like, 20% at best for
the value of a house here :P
nubbins`: "sez here you lost an incredible amount of money
to some website. do you know who runs it?" "some guy named doug, i
think"
