cads: hehe, it would be neat
to develop some pricing models when I learn
that math
mircea_popescu: anyway you can apply some of
that study
to bitcoin finance for great justice ?
mircea_popescu: well on
this side of
the lake as you can see, we're preparing
to set on fire us embassies, or something. basically everyone's in agreement
there shall be a war, still ironing out where exactly.
cads: I study at
the university, and work as a machinist
mircea_popescu: suddenly disappeared means either got a kid, got a habit or else scammed a buncha coins. what is
this work and study you speak of.
cads: what's new on your side of
the lake?
mircea_popescu: cads until someone loses an eye.
then it's hysterical.
mircea_popescu: bwahahaha
this is great. "hey guise i am new
to internet stuff, it's all fake rite ???"
mircea_popescu: "The chat room on
the site is very active but
the conversations
there are unusual and non-linear. It has
the feeling of looking busy with no real context at
times and at others
the conversation is very linear."
mircea_popescu: "The names of
the players on
the site are unusual (it is like someone got a book of american names without a real understanding of why americans would be unlikely
to either have or pick
those screenames)"
mircea_popescu: w/e was saying
the same
thing re bitbet, "bitcoins being locked here prevents
the owner from losing it"
mircea_popescu: "Thankfully, Coinbase said it would
take six days
to get my Bitcoin and so I didn't have it available
to make an investment in
the bankroll of
the just-dice website."
KRS1: I'm always on
the nudie side
KRS1: so
tempting
they're practically inviting
KRS1: I'm not sure what side i want
to be on anymore
mircea_popescu: that's okay,
there's an oversupply of at least
ten million doods patting each other on
the back.
KRS1: FBI warns retailers
to expect future breaches
mircea_popescu: as bureaucracy always entrenches itself against any sort of downsizing,
this is
the only available method.
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03 renders bureaucracy
too expensive and so
the whole
thing collapses.
KRS1: oldest
trick in
the book
KRS1: Guess
they gave em coins
mircea_popescu: litecoins worth usd, i still have
trouble getting my head around it.
mircea_popescu: the fact
that
this is a surprise
to anyone is
the real surprise
to no-one in particular.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah,
they only had one guy
to answer
to. all systems which are build around a spot where
the buck stops outperforms systems bereft of such.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: dude srsly ?
that guy was born in carolina and lived at harvard.
the notion
that he can be an academic, or intellectually respectable... how ?
mircea_popescu: sane minds applied
to
the same real problem yield similar results. german cars sort-of look like american cars for
the reason
that... well... road, wind, gravity...
Mats_cd03: Oops...Graham Allison. I had HN on
the mins
mircea_popescu: just like... you know, acording
to
the soviet politburo
the reason
there was famine were
the kulaks.
mircea_popescu: but
that aside : global
terrorism is
the solution, not
the problem.
the government is
the problem, and in characteristic fashion it
tries
to paint
the solution as "the problem".
mircea_popescu: town doesn't even need evacuation, water is fine, all is well. just ask
the jap govt.
mircea_popescu: so what of it ?
tokio just got hit by a nuke, and
they claim
they didn't even notice it.
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03 i
think a nuke will definitely be used
too, whether in x
time or not notwithstanding.
Mats_cd03: I spend a lot of
time with active mil guys and policy analysts and I'll suspend my jokes
to say
that extremism is a serious
transnational problem...there are academics like paul graham
that believe a rogue nuke will be definitely be used in
the next
two decades
mircea_popescu: yeah well. i'll propose
to you
that perhaps your anticipation is more a figment of your virginal fears
than actual experience of
the world.
Mats_cd03: Maybe after a us president lets one off
the chain and destroys a nice black rock
mircea_popescu: i don't mean as a
tourist. i mean in
the bed of local women.
Mats_cd03: I'm anticipating
the day Muslim extremism _really_
takes off
mircea_popescu: aka "the people
that jealously guarded
their baseless supremacy
to
the point
their ruined
the greatest empire in
the world"
mircea_popescu: for
that matter... xtians and arabs have been swapping womenz for > 900 years by now.
punkman1: sounds like another version of "they
took our jobs"
mircea_popescu: magically...
there was no shortage of anything, nor any lack of quality.
mircea_popescu: i fail
to see it. i didn't perceive much difference among
the women i fucked when i lived in my own country or when i lived in countries nominally held by other people. suppose i visit france, wherein all MY women have already been overrun, specifically by
the french.
Mats_cd03: They do when
there are 3 foreign refugee males for every 1 male national
Mats_cd03: millions of poor Arabs and Africans waiting for
the opportunity
to flood over
the border and fuck your women
mircea_popescu: truely
this
terrorism fighting concept has worked wonders, by
the
time you have european union citizens ready
to bomb your shit on general principle.
mircea_popescu: so zee germans are going
to start bombing us embassies in germany.
mircea_popescu: botch-schaft ?
the germans have a name for
the us intel ops by now ? like gesellschaft except without any gesell and with a boatload o' botch ?!

nubbins`: more countertops and shelves
to be installed
nubbins`: okay, i've gotta go
try
to vacuum some of
this mucus out of my face and get
to work
nubbins`: that shit is weird on
the level of
that guy who painted cats
nubbins`: "ah...
the regular edition... cool"
nubbins`: "oh, cool....
thanks... i actually got you a little gift
too"
mircea_popescu: ultimate asshole
thing
to do : spy on what people get you for your bday
nubbins`: gibberish
text and fantastical drawings
nubbins`: this would actually be a fun way
to make a zine
nubbins`: i suspect
that i'll be receiving a copy of
the codex seraphinianus for my birthday next week
pankkake: and defiance
towards nomads,
too
pankkake: xenophobia is actually sane; it's people not in
the WoT
nubbins`: not much different from a pet bird panicking when a new
toy is placed in his cage
nubbins`: and
that itself stems from
the animal instinct
to fear
the unknown
mircea_popescu: it comes from 5000 years of experience iwth
the notion
that "people yu don't know will likely rape you", something which comes full circle with
the earlier discussion re cryptoscams.
nubbins`: doesn't quite capture it
tho, huh
mircea_popescu: otherwise, it was ethnocentrism, like
the way
twop small
towns hate each other's football
team
nubbins`: racism was more localized in
the past
mircea_popescu: only became cogent once
transportation became possible.
mircea_popescu: racism is new in
the sense
that
the observation
that people belong
to different races is new
nubbins`: ever wonder why it had
to be explicitly said
that
the good samaritan was good?
nubbins`: there are a couple of guys,
this Drahog fella and
The Butter Zone,
that sell
the most random shit
