t an answer to the question
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla .de, .fr, early version of gpg keys. hope they can'
t decode ? :D
ben_vulpes: humans can'
t handle statistics. big disaster with 0% likelihood freezes the brain in its place.
moriarty: and you don'
t need to consider meta anything
bounce: the serial killer statistics are too marginal to really drive this though, so it'd have to be perception or something else. can'
t be the sole driver.
mircea_popescu: unless it wasn'
t worth the hassle because her friends did and meh
mircea_popescu: right. and speaking of the victorians, they most definitely didn'

bounce hasn'
t made a study about it
mircea_popescu: i don'
t think what they did would meet my definition of fucking, dunno about yours
bounce: right enough about the population growth. and the mores. at the same time we're also opener about having the sex; they still fucked around in victorian england, just everyone pretended it didn'
t happen in public
mircea_popescu: (in the narrow definition that she doesn'
t go with one, abducions aren'
t in our universe here)
mircea_popescu: this is why we can'
t be both rich and pure, and this is why islam in its present state has no future.
bounce: didn'
t quite follow that, but one might surmise there's a fine line between stupidity and malice
mircea_popescu: in any case, pattern matching is just by-hand bayesian filtering. it sort-of works, but it isn'
t a solution or anything
mircea_popescu: i mean, i didn'
t pick up anything whatsoever in the case of this xinxi guy. nor did i look into it in any depth. however, consider the case of the r3wt kid. now there, i did pick up roughly the same vibe i imagine you peeps are discussing. and yet, months later,
mircea_popescu: just as long as it doesn'
t reduce to a "she's a woman/politician/newbie and her lips are moving so -> lying"

t understand that he doesn'
t understand English, or is fraudster/incompetent
mircea_popescu: like you know, math isn'
t news, even considering most people don'
t know it.
bounce: wasn'
t about what's news but what's newswriting. doesn'
t matter if it turns out to be prophetic later; prophecy isn'
t the function of the newsreporter.
mircea_popescu: yesterday's log about what's news and what isn'
t will be so lulzy once ~that one~ qntra article ends up in the position of the stormcaller, greatest news piece ever published etc etc...
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski nothing like that can happen. aren'
t you aware the dow is the penis of the biggest greatest richest most important country IN THE COUNTRY !?>!?!
RagnarDanneskjol: ript kiddie. - other than """"I have been trading FX for more than seven years and I made enough money for me to live for the following 5 years even if I don'
t work at all. So It makes little sense for me to run away with your money """
fluffypony: cazalla, why don'
t you just stick CloudFlare in front of it until you guys have the infrastructure sorted?
bounce: the world just isn'
t cool enough. sorry.
cazalla: glad i didn'
t post that pm in here
artifexd: You give ratings according to what you want. It isn'
t a tit-for-tat thing.
artifexd: I'm fairly certain that you don'
t owe me anything.
BingoBoingo: <r3wt> i still don'
t get it about Qntra.net << Cunt, raw is basically just a coindesk/Cryptocoinnews killer, No big deal
r3wt: i still don'
t get it about Qntra.net
BingoBoingo: Maybe if I didn'
t tobacco my laptop fan wouldn'
t need replaced annually
r3wt: shower, sh*
t, shave
BingoBoingo: Getting a DOS out the ass because Mullenwang of Wordpress can'
t stop sucking that dick
cazalla: speaking of twitter BingoBoingo, sgornick is yet to return to hand it over :\ i had the opportunity to register it myself but didn'
t bother
cazalla: i guess trying to slip you up with "we need a name" didn'
t work
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i still can'
t fathom how one can own laptop and shy away from cleaning fan << Fan is clean, bearings worn
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> these things generally aren'
t built in a way where you can get to the bearing <asciilifeform> so, can'
t lubricate << This is why you flood the thing
BingoBoingo: * asciilifeform wonders what is his craft, that married, because it isn'
t programming - he actually loathes it with a passion difficult to describe << You love creating. You're an artist. Of course you despise programming. You'll prolly shit on the first loper machine you create
mircea_popescu: you're in a peculiar situation, of a man married to his craft. kids don'
t have that problem.
BingoBoingo: Qntra shares really aren'
t a problem so long as they remain countably infinite
mircea_popescu: how much are ~5k zombie ips worth ? what's the current market value of a wordpress list like whatever, 100k or i didn'
t bother counting the new one yet ?
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> over a ludicrously expensive plasma tv, the owner of the firm gravely proclaimed that the robot (nominally a sapperbot) shall be fitted with a rifle. << Wait employees hadn'
t machines so armed already?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: i wasn'
t intending to (with what, ha.) just ringing the bell to possibly wake up folks who think they can achieve a new result by doing the same thing as was done for 100 years. <<< you know, the clerk maxwell guy, arguably a novel result, WAS in fact achieved by doing the exact same thing men have been doing to women for a hundred years.
mircea_popescu: devthedev: Bitcointalk: "Due to a recently-discovered flaw in the TLS and SSL protocols, you may want to change your password, especially if you accessed the forum using Tor." <<< what, tor isn'
t safe ? incredibru.
nubbins`: i can'
t speak for the others...
mike_c: 1) you need to be decently wot'd to contribute. 2) if you submit shit, you won'
t get in.
mike_c: yes, they will expect diminishing returns. i don'
t understand why this is a problem.
mike_c: then you don'
t believe that "mass media" is the problem, just the way it has been executed.
mike_c: like all of my articles, they are mostly for me anyway. but i think that one stands up. i didn'
t cheat either, i was surprised how close my guesstimate came to that bid on mpex.
mike_c: well it does show you a methodology. if you don'
t like the assumptions, change 'em.
jurov: <ThickAsThieves> like when mpex is down, we can still trade << this was actually my intention with the receipts. but it isn'
t worth it
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves: Who's to say there won'

t be doing qntra
BingoBoingo: Wait, to my knowledge goat doesn'
t hate me!

t pay out

t every day, too
mircea_popescu: this wasn'
t a time when theatre was ancient and respected.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform fun fact : rabies doesn'
t kill per se. current therapy consists of essentially freezing the brain while the virus is flushed out by the immune system
mircea_popescu: reddit is the temple of this bizarre sect, the large collection of people who can use letters but don'
t understand sentences.
mircea_popescu: you don'
t get to measure literacy as counted by j h newman with "literacy" as counted by some fuckardacy.

t read in the 1700s, where it's now closer to just about all of them who can read.

t credit it so much.
