pankkake: there's more
than doing an ebay
though.
there is a need for easy small shops (like bigcartel.com)
mircea_popescu: when i say someone
to do it i mean someone with a decade's worth of experience in a relevant position.

the Pyramids stack
benkay: allow me
to express my disgust with python
pankkake: I haven't kept up with
the latest frameworks
benkay: and
then make it profitable
benkay: when i get back from le argent i gotta defuck
this django stack
pankkake: it's easy
to do simple stuff but hard
to do complex stuff
benkay: "incant
this
triangular shaped widget into
this
triangular shaped hole and photos will appear over
there"
pankkake: Python, where I use many libs rather
than a framework
pankkake: their
thread is full of disgruntled sellers, certainly not what you'd want
pankkake: well, if I do something,
that will be it
pankkake: mostly due
to frustrations with bitmit
pankkake: I've been meaning
to write it but my productivity is close
to zero
these last few months
benkay: huh. so when does
the ebay for bitcoin happen, eh mp?
nubbins`: although if you wanna be fair you'd have
to include exchange fees
mircea_popescu: maybe i completely misunderstood
the business model
there.
nubbins`: i
think SR was a straight-up 10?
pankkake: my last big sales were in
the 5% range or less, but
that was years ago
mircea_popescu: wait, so actually
the silkroad charged less
than ebay ?!
mircea_popescu: they'd make a helluva lot more if
they could just
take a file out of dpr's book and
tell
the govt
to suck on an onion./
nubbins`: they make a lot
through ebay fees
pankkake: the make a lot
through paypal fees, or sneaky currency conversion fees
nubbins`: breaking news: ebay
to acquire bitcoin
mircea_popescu: i don't have a hard
time imagining why
they'd want
to
tho.
pankkake: I have a hard
time imagining ebay adopting bitcoin
mircea_popescu: even further
twist : "its payment unit PayPal may one day incorporate BitCoin." where are you skinnavaj guy.
dub: tl;dr? seen it mentioned a few
times
today
nubbins`: your chinese
takeout box has had a badbios
this whole
time
benkay: dub: i wanted it
to have a badbios
pankkake: not posting stupid shit on
twitter
pankkake: it's part of his strategy
though
benkay: i'd started imagining game/stock
tie-ins
mircea_popescu: benkay just idle comment
that
the volume was apparently up
pankkake: somehow when I see savage I
think of a horse running free in
the grass
benkay: hey mircea_popescu what were you implying
the other day when you queried for
the s.mg price and
then made a comment about an in-game
thing?
benkay: black finance magic of
the destroy economies kind
pankkake: though it felt
that way other
times
nubbins`: once
the conversation
turned
to books, i began silently lamenting my inability
to finish reading one hundred years of solitude
pankkake: well he probably came earlier and will come back later. I wonder why he picked me, I wasn't even parroting
this
time
mircea_popescu: ten minutes later
they're gone. how's one supposed
to have fun ;/
pankkake: I haven't read your latest blog stuff so I have nothing
to disagree with
mircea_popescu: the one problem with
these kids is...
they have no endurance.
mircea_popescu: btw pankkake you're doing a very small amount of parroting over here! i
thought we had a deal!
mircea_popescu: by
the sort of idle, pointless virgins
that'd be interested in such crap.
mircea_popescu: instead phthisic "women" captive in
the bodies of little boys like all
the various utopian facets of socialism get
tons of idyllic literature fashioned
benkay: how
the middle way leads
to socialism, bad policies following bad policies etc
benkay: i suspect i alreaady understand mises work just from
the subtitle of
that one book
mircea_popescu: because
the sort of men she loved and loved her back were
too busy doing
to harp about it.
mircea_popescu: it's like
this supermistress of most accomplished lures which goes wholly forgotten and ignored
to
the grave,
mircea_popescu: the sad
thing of money is
that nobody really wrote of it well.
benkay: i've lined up
the modern money
theory stuff on
the premise
that coming
through
that'll inoculate me against some brands of idiocy
benkay: something
that'll stick
to my brainbones
benkay: nah i have
two weeks of reading and boozing and wenching coming up and i want something meaty
mircea_popescu: no but seriously, much more of an economist
than a philosopher, for instance.
benkay: mircea_popescu: what do you
think about ludwig von mises?
mike_c: i will share all
the prize money with you benkay
benkay: i
think i have wondered at
this myself
mircea_popescu: i'm lucky i'm not
the only person reading
these logs, it
turns out. anyway, we're in
the process of arguing about it.
mircea_popescu: while
the opex system works great in every aspect as it is,
the underwriter has no actual way
to verify when
they were executed in fact.
mike_c: then you would know how
to identify art.
mircea_popescu: opc0d3 you know you could save yourself a lot of embarassment by reviewing
the logs for a few days before blindly jumping in.
pankkake: what you don't understand is
that
there is only one person here
nubbins`: the years of sharepoint development sucked my soul out, but being forced
to move
to WCF was
the straw
that broke me
opc0d3: benkay: MP
talks, and pankkake echo's , seems like
mircea_popescu: opc0d3 dude, every mayfly in
the book has said
the exact same
thing about me.
dub: tycho is
that guy
that forgot how
to run a pool yeah?
Apocalyptic: opc0d3, out of curiosity when was
this
trading plateform launched ?
nubbins`: the support community around .NET is just as massive as
the one around any other web dev
technology
opc0d3: nah. .NET deployments are usually much more stable
then linux ones
nubbins`: and so if something breaks (it will),
they're fucked until
they figure out how
to fix it
opc0d3: i personally don't use any MSFT products, but would never be so idiotic
to laugh at developers
that do
nubbins`: see,
the
thing is: coca-cola can afford
to pay for gold-tier support contracts, so
they can use .NET and if it breaks (which it doesn't),
they have a big red
telephone
they can pick up
to get it fixed
mircea_popescu: opc0d3 where have you learned
to win friends and influence people ?
opc0d3: you guys are lemmings
to laugh at .NET
Apocalyptic: doesn't mean anything about
the value of
the product
