ninjashogun: Also, I think that the trolls "won" because I'm not able to rate positively the people I have had good connectoins with (gribble says I 'don't qualify') so obviously they won't reciprocate. My ratings look like a troll's.
PeterL: ninjashogun: I'm the startup founder you talked with before - I hvae the two projects/companies farther along, that I don't think we discussed, and I bleieve we discussed the solar plane in depth. << yes, I remember that conversation
mats_cd03: he doesn't have any fans
PeterL: havn't you been around here a while? why no self-voicing?
pete_dushenski: xanthyos: last time i was there is was cold, humid, and all too smelly. didn't leave an impression that i'm eager to rekindle.
xanthyos: nyc is a nice place if you don't have to drive in it
bounce: so you're advocating the jooz should run teh coontry now? like the big joo conspiracy isn't a bad thing or something.
mircea_popescu: <pete_dushenski> as a result, the asian kids and i aren't suffering from the braindamage of a few dozen concussions mixed with cum crackers. << they still do the cum crackers ?!
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: there aren't that many of either of those peoples who find their way into the arctic. they prefer equatorial zones.
TheNewDeal: they just don't play
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: There aren't very many black or hispanic hockey player either, thoughts from up north?
pete_dushenski: as a result, the asian kids and i aren't suffering from the braindamage of a few dozen concussions mixed with cum crackers.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: ya asian kids don't hockey so well.
pete_dushenski: can't really irc with one...
X-Rob: mircea_popescu: Mmmmm. Sounds plausible. I won't turn anything off.

punkman: uploaded new bitbet.py version, hopefully sexy colors don't break your term http://i.imgur.com/KB21cbq.png
punkman: kakobrekla: tried bigger update didn't see any errors
mircea_popescu: i didn't think anything tbh.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves he's basically saying "paypal isn't dead"
mircea_popescu: moreover, your example doesn't actually work.
mircea_popescu: which is what i said. they wouldn't even dare ask, because they don't know if it's a set-up.
asciilifeform: when they do 'this', it won't look like a 'this.' it'll look like a parallel-whatever - dumb prisoner gave his key to 'Bubba' in exchange for butseks, etc.
mircea_popescu: the only reason it's never happened to date is simply that a da wouldn't have made it that far if he were insane enough to try something like you propose.
mircea_popescu: and if they weren't pencidlicks they'd be here with me, rather than over there with the sops.
mircea_popescu: so, no. ain't happening.
mircea_popescu: doesn't even get a trial, the judge can just sentence him for contempt, six months, no problemo
mircea_popescu: there's exactl;y nothing the prosecution can do to nosy into the defense briefs, abnd they wouldn't even dare ask because they've got no way to know if they're being set up for a mistrial or what.
chetty: I dont think lawyers get into cells anymore either, isn't it telephones and glass?
mircea_popescu: why didn't the workers speak up before unions ?
mircea_popescu: bounce because of the individual effect. why didn't people in leningrad speak up ?
bounce: why aren't lawyers speaking up when there's yet another law mandating massive snooping on everyone with a few of those constructive bones thrown in? lack of understanding that actual is possible?
bounce: anyhow, I don't have contact with personal brokers so no opportunity to try and test market uptake
mircea_popescu: o shit, you need a computer at home to email ? o yea, totally, email doesn't scale
mircea_popescu: you know what else doesn't scale this way ?
mircea_popescu: what od you mean it doesn't scale lmao
bounce: yesh, but it doesn't scale. then again, maybe it doesn't need to. until it does, of course.
bounce: heh, it's actually worse than that. when gov't people talk about "signature management", these days that's plugins for their document management systems that govern copy/pasting pictures of signatures into "documents" that later may or may not end up getting printed.
Adlai: mircea_popescu: images don't display at all with lynx/links
Azelphur: that said there are other considerations, some languages/frameworks have limitations / specialties that others don't
bounce: leveraging a write once language to help produce tight code in a notoriously sloppy language. can't you just taste the synergy?
Apocalyptic: well one could argue LTC is a shitcoin too, and it wouldn't be far from the truth
mircea_popescu: he has atc doesn't he ?
Apocalyptic: yeah, that's the main reason I didn't want shitcoins in x-bt
mircea_popescu: and the idiots "using" your "service" won't understand that they're all equally worthless, so...
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic idol worshipping hasn't stopped either, it just moves further to the outskirts
wyrdmantis: i don't want to do an altcoin exchange, that's sure
wyrdmantis: a friend asked the guy about db and got insulted and then silence. WTF people are so dumb. And yeah, node.js doesn't seem low level at all.
BingoBoingo: Reading up on this the fixed a similar problem with trackbacks back in 2.8, I don't know why it would be their position to make a sharp edge like this the default when the push themselve to people looking for feather cushions.
mircea_popescu: i don't think qntra is designed to anything, just yet
TheNewDeal: can't tell if you two are joking or are serious?
thestringpuller: i thought bitcoin businesses shouldn't hold profit in fiat.
thestringpuller: volatility shouldn't be an issue if your liquidity pool is deep enough. does this mean they aren't operating with enough supply?
Adlai hasn't yet, kakobrekla
jurov: um.. afaik usually people work because they won't have the discipline otherwise
Adlai: why is what i said false though? you don't know me!
thestringpuller: there was another but wasn't trustworthy for sports betting long ago
fluffypony: which country? South Africa doesn't seem to give a crap.
mircea_popescu: decimation the thing is they work on a per dollar basis. if there's nothing to steal they can't afford to prosecute you.
mircea_popescu: Why? Because I don't want to fund the evil banksters who prey on impressionable young 18 year olds who don't know jack shit about the world, 18-year olds who are pressured by society into college they can't afford."
mircea_popescu: yeah but you don't like the sewers
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: pay with cash, get discount as merchants don't report cash intake and don't pay cc processing fees.
ben_vulpes: actually mircea_popescu this is why i don't carry cash. all of my local providers know who i am and extend me credit at my request.
ben_vulpes: i have a healthy relationship with my cab co's and they don't lock the door on me
ben_vulpes: and we have a functioning economy, so cabbies don't lock the door
mircea_popescu: and i wouldn't poay with a card wtf.
mircea_popescu: haven't been since like 2003, but anyway.
decimation: one wonders if usg didn't pressure corning as part of the 'war on useful objects' err 'war on drugs'
ben_vulpes: 'cept that pyrex doesn't shatter when dropped.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes anyway, she was just... i dunno, her bubble was neverendingly shockingly short. you could rarely predict what she won't foresee
ben_vulpes: ain't no training going to fix that kind of stupid
Adlai: don't ask me about kitchen safety, i nearly burned my house down yesterday
mircea_popescu: see, when i think great safety rule i think things like "don't place your heaviest pans highest in your kitchen"
mircea_popescu: anyway, people doing fine movements generally don't want to wear gloves because bulky and unwieldy
mircea_popescu: they don't still use the retractable thinger do they ?
mircea_popescu: isn't it actually bad for the parts to work on them while too hot to touch ?
Adlai: there shouldn't be, but it can get hot enough to burn your hands, and stays that hot for longer than the average soldier would expect
Adlai: causing soldiers who don't understand the background behind any of it to believe all the rules are uniformly irrelevant
Adlai: mircea_popescu: waitwaitwait women aren't full of shit and don't want to be in control all the time?
Adlai: although i guess internet arguments are more fun when people don't even know how vastly their assumptions and definitions are outta wack
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: now try and tell this to american, and usually he will nod enthusiastically, and after you say '...30' he will answer: 'naturally! they won't even agree to sign up for mortgage!'
mircea_popescu: most english as a single language kids i meet aren't adults at 30.
mircea_popescu: those aren't children.
Adlai: mircea_popescu: kids can't parent. it takes adults. « tell that to eleven-child families in the west bank where the oldest daughters are effectively mothers to the others
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes also, kids can't parent. it takes adults.
mircea_popescu: decimation in public ? nobody would, either. except for me, i keep talking about all sorts of things that shouldn't be in public, much to everyone's shhock and horror.
mats_cd03: some people, like me, are of the opinion that enough money wasn't spent to quell the iraqi and afghan insurgencies
Adlai: well and also some wars aren't meant to be over in a week, that doesn't pull a heavy budget
Adlai: doesn't mean they're any good at it, yet
Adlai: national militaries are still trying to wrap their head around how to fight an enemy that isn't another large military
mircea_popescu: i don't think they have YET had any sort of objective.
mircea_popescu: decimation yeah, but they don't really manage to attract that much talent somehow.
Adlai: cheating = you pair up and count for eachother. the soldier counting is supposed to count out loud, but when there are twenty people counting out loud and one or two officers supervising, you can count by twos, threes, or tens, and they don't notice
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: the paper isn't arguring "better" simply that iq holds for races across environments.
asciilifeform: what else don't they measure ?
Adlai: they don't measure strength when you come to enlist :P
asciilifeform: and that a circus weight-lifter isn't the least bit strong, because perhaps my arse muscle is stronger yet than his biceps ☟︎
Adlai isn't
gabriel_laddel: Adlai: can't tell if you're trolling.
mircea_popescu: Adlai because similar sized insects aren't that fast.
