mircea_popescu: see, the distance between bounce's theory and asciilifeform's practice is that in theory there's a lot of things that aren't actually fouind in practice ?
bounce: apparently "senior counsel" doesn't mean "chief dealmaker". so she's in a position that sounds important but is essentially toothless when it's not about bullying random other parties into filling in a bunch of forms. this phenomenon isn't exactly new.
mircea_popescu: which is why and how the entire "don't sneeze on people" thing was introduced.
cazalla: BingoBoingo, i didn't get any last year, we had hail proceeded by a 5 day heat wave, that was the end of them
asciilifeform: bounce: there're a lot more of those around than there were in 1700 << no. there aren't.
BingoBoingo: The tomatoes in the garden here are still fucking producing. It nearly frosted 3 weeks ago, but they won't stop this year.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform to follow that model. qntra isn't a seller of 0-dioxin, 1814-equivalent tomatoes, but a greengrocer where they don't hire retards and don't mix shit in the fruit sala.d ☟︎
asciilifeform: how we don't actually have more food today than in 1700, just greater quantities of food-like substance that staves off starvation
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves the newspaper business isn't really for poor people ya know.
mike_c: another section of the paper that isn't news: classifieds! put the otc order book out of bizness and makes shareholders happy.
mircea_popescu: mike_c wow i hadn't either.
mike_c: additional tags of course don't hurt anything
asciilifeform: qntra reads just like ordinary newspaper! 'company c now selling turd t.' 'company s having supply chain problems with their shit.' 'politician p derps on topic t.'
asciilifeform: perhaps i simply don't like the dish, and should not bash the cook.
asciilifeform: example of -interesting- and genuine news - mp's piece. but he can't cough up the actual intel to substantiate the piece, that would aid the enemy.
asciilifeform: thickasthieves: i'd argue that it isn't simply too new, or done improperly in some way. but - does wrong job.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that's the thing, i couldn't possibly write one and have it be any more 'on subject' than yours above!
asciilifeform confesses that he isn't terribly fond of the qntra articles to date. nothing against the folks who wrote them! but because the entire 'bitcoin news' sphere - not only reportage, but the subject matter per se - is permeated with spam oil.
mircea_popescu: bounce think about it, if i never submitted anything to qntra wouldn't ppl want to know why i don't ?
thickasthieves: well the trying t be different, i thought, was to eschew now-common problems in news
mircea_popescu: bounce so they can't report on derpy stuff like moolah or w/e ?
ben_vulpes: i ain't no dissembler
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves he means that by the time there's 10bn, a few more added won't make a difference
mike_c: they don't constantly dilute
mike_c: you don't have to like every article.
mircea_popescu: the reason accuracy is a concept at all is that news can't ever be correct. which is why estimates are accurate and calculations are correct.
mircea_popescu: but things that actually happened that you personaly can't verify are what ?
mircea_popescu: news, dood. doesn't ask you anything. it just puts the burden upon you to make room for it in your gestaalt as it were
TomServo: Oh, you thought you were milking the cow? We don't have a cow.
asciilifeform: somebody really doesn't like the schneier piece? or was it the crown jewels catalogue circa '03?
mircea_popescu: whereas actual life duration expectancy hasn't much changed. except if you're a retard.
asciilifeform: because, well, didn't.
mircea_popescu: and in a dispute with the romanian immigration service five years ago or so, they brought this objeciton in court, specifically, that i can't sue them before i do arbitration
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't recall ever signing a contract iwth arbitration clauses.
nubbins`: i guess i'm actually imagining it, because the nebulous thing in my head right now isn't really a picture
devthedev: I'm slightly worried about the Qntra shares. If the amount of S.QNTR shares double monthly wouldn't the revenue have to double as well to keep up with the inflation?
devthedev: I still can't access Qntra from over here for some reason.
thickasthieves: t
mircea_popescu: they can't use satoshis

jurov: and the benefit isn't so big
mircea_popescu: couldn't you do the same sending https email ?
jurov: ben_vulpes: that doesn't preclude circulation of duplicates
mike_c: in favor of TLS. don't worry, that one is secure!
jurov: mike_c: in favor of what? i don't see any scramblingo to implement,. say gpg signatures support in browsers
`jurov`: punkman thing is, it isn't coded yet. so far we can just make a deed about the loan with above conditions (14 day redemption)
`jurov`: and then empty accounts don't pay monthly fee
`jurov`: he has to trust me i won't leak it anyway, not sure if that can be solved

mircea_popescu: ;;rate Vexual he don't do time, for ain't no one here got time for that.
mircea_popescu: i don't think i've ever lived in a room small enough that the lighting fixtures made a noticeable difference.
mircea_popescu: did you mean to ask "why do you think the alternative won't work" ?
bounce: sometimes there's specific reasons why alternatives just won't do. "old and proven" doesn't mean the alternative won't work.
bounce: that wasn't why I was asking

ben_vulpes: tempered with a brief glare signifying "don't do this to me again."

Vexual: this drowns out the sound of town cars that obviosly aren't mercs
ben_vulpes: i ain't got no patience...
mircea_popescu: yet something tells me the recent beheadings aren't excesses, but merely the early drops of a coming avalanche.
mircea_popescu: and you know, everyone's hope is that they will live for long enough in a pile of goop made out of copies of themselves big enough that they won't ever have to go face to face with those "evil sociopaths" and "trolls"

nubbins`: Vexual i'm afraid i can't
cazalla: In 2004 the Howard government re-armed ASIS. <<< they can have guns but we can't, fkn cunts
cazalla: look, i just want cunts to keep their hand out of my pocket, they can stick their police and roads and ambulances (which don't come anyway, personal experience) and society security and super etc etc up their ass
