mircea_popescu: * asciilifeform can't immediately picture who might see wot the way he sees ads on site << anyway, this is about fucking freedom, so, you know, enjoy fucking her. it's not about adding musts, it's about adding mays.

BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> he also doesn't need as much to pay for the space, emotionally, as asciilifeform doe << I do, but on a different standard. asciilifeform's blog has been going much longer than mine and with greater sustained excellence
ben_vulpes: he also doesn't need as much to pay for the space, emotionally, as asciilifeform does
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> -ev (for me, naturally. can't speak for anyone else) << Between the benevolent Kakobrekla donation and the MP seeding on the Van ads first month, if I hold long enough maybe I'll be able to wrest Alpha from Intel and host the blog on 22nm chips of a not shitty heritage...
asciilifeform: -ev (for me, naturally. can't speak for anyone else)

asciilifeform: TheNewDeal: even if you don't care for languages at all - learn it, and it's as if copyrasty never existed
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: They don't matter beyond telling fluffypony to STFU and blog moar
decimation: dsherm: there is some point to this, but as long as the state has a 'monopoly on violence' this isn't much of a limit
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform is quite sure that he didn't hallucinate it, though << one of many reasons I advertise my drinking, keeps this feasible
asciilifeform is quite sure that he didn't hallucinate it, though
TheNewDeal: many of the pro-statists don't like the status quo. Haven't you seen all the hippies complain about the 1%?

asciilifeform: bats_cd03: the most interesting part of such articles is, as often the case - what isn't said.
decimation: danielpbarron: I don't mind doubters, I just want one with the ability to provide points that rate above the "derp" level
danielpbarron: you guys don't have to !up them
bats_cd03: careful consideration is a characteristic of a cult. jeez, what isn't these days.
mircea_popescu: BlueMeanie4 if your system worked we wouldn't be here.
nubbins`: they didn't say "let us all go into financial debt to each other! you all owe me $100/hr for my plumbing services"
asciilifeform can't help but picture a coprophagiac walking into a fine restaurant, proceeding to argue - with physical demonstration - his concept of 'fine dining'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the first hour with the whore suggests one's "pickup skills" aren't entirely unsuccessful either.
asciilifeform: the '500 wars' suggest that they weren't entirely unsuccessful.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's just thatr i can't locate any data showign they are succesfull to any degree. but anyway.
mircea_popescu: i guess he doesn't wanna addres it, but let's take a stab anyway. BlueMeanie4 suppose two people wanted to fuck, and both liked to fuck. in scenario A, they fuck. in scenario B, they exchange obligations to fuck, then fuck.
decimation: asciilifeform: I don't get the liber-tards argument, are they saying that women ought to be able to slut at the sluttiest parties without attracting unwanted male attention?
mircea_popescu: you don't create new wealth by creating new obligations or else a law that'd enact the obligation of pigs to fly would make us all rich.
mircea_popescu: BlueMeanie4 it's an otc market. you don't get to know anything the participants don't choose to share.
mircea_popescu: you don't want highly liquid markets. you want robust markets.
mircea_popescu: didn't we go over all of this yest or w/e ?
BingoBoingo: BlueMeanie4: Don't worry too much about this distinct IRC phenomenon where the channel carries on as many simultaneous conversations as the participants allow.
mircea_popescu: BlueMeanie4 no, and what's worse i don't see a way to translate your formulation of what's a problem in fiat marketplaces into ap roblem here.
mircea_popescu: BlueMeanie4 then i don't like you and ddos your system. what now ?
gribble: Error: Could not find a pending authentication request from your hostmask. Either it expired, or you changed hostmask, or you haven't made one.
mircea_popescu: when you don't have to deal with them
gribble: Error: Could not find a pending authentication request from your hostmask. Either it expired, or you changed hostmask, or you haven't made one.
gribble: Error: Could not find a pending authentication request from your hostmask. Either it expired, or you changed hostmask, or you haven't made one.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah but you didn't pick them in the street.
asciilifeform doesn't get why people whine
mircea_popescu: if it didn't see you at any point it resets it.
mircea_popescu: BlueMeanie4: also Mircea - you dont like Preston Bryne? << if i can be arsed to try and teach someone to read it can scarcely be argued i don't like them.
ben_vulpes: don't stop
asciilifeform: not even because it works - or doesn't
assbot: Why Rape Prevention Activists Don't Like The New Nail Polish That Can Detect Roofies | ThinkProgress

mircea_popescu: http://girls.twistys.com/preview/dailyupdates/2014/08/13/aubreystar-31811/images/full/13.jpg << fun fact : girls that walk on high heels don't tend to support themselves on the heel.
BitMarmot: What, MP doesn't have a spirit animal?
mircea_popescu: (for that matter, it's good policy / common courtest to see if i don't want to overbid in case you're considering assignment)
BitMarmot: Be of no doubt, I am overawed by your approach to polemic. But I suspect I probably wouldn't get away with it
mircea_popescu: i didn't even pick the right phrase. should have used rickles' "he's making a loss on every sale but hopes to make it up on volume"
mircea_popescu: yes, but also toothless. doesn't matter where it's from.
antonosika: But this isn't specified in the contract. Only "the long holder shall deposit"
mircea_popescu: just... finance ain't one of them.
BitMarmot: I go on what I can prove. If I can't prove it, I figure no harm in being polite
BitMarmot: I just don't like going after people personally - I'd rather discuss the issues
mircea_popescu: but generally, you can distinguish they don't know wtf they're talking about on terminology, and just discard that and see if they're basically honest or not. at least it's my approach.
BitMarmot: fact is, most alt chains aren't that big a deal/that different from BTC to merit existence
mircea_popescu: antonosika that you can't give sue 1.5 btc and mary 1.5 btc of your load. gotta pick a girl blow the whole load on her.
BitMarmot: they wouldn't need to presell because they'd make their money mining the crap out of it
BitMarmot: Satoshi didn't need a presale
mircea_popescu: BitMarmot it doesn't say so much cause "token pre-sales" isn't reallyt a term of art.
antonosika: why doesn't mircea_popescu get identified by ;;ident ?
mircea_popescu: it's a fucking outrage is what it is. basically vitalik saw the neobee fuckwit buy a ferrari or whatever it was, went out of his mind and well... "if x can steal why shouldn't i"
BitMarmot: I mean, I don't exactly look forward to the day seeing as I'm meant to be hanged
mircea_popescu: antonosika you don't have to sign it, if you pay it stands.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know, a complete collection of grabbe would probably be useful at this point. he doesn't seem to have any web exposure.
mircea_popescu: you can't start by doing good. you start by doing work, a lot of it, then you see.
antonosika: If I read logs or articles I don't know what things have any "value" and what are just writings.
mircea_popescu: antonosika you generally can't expect a summary of such things be presented to you on demand. there's about 2 years worth of logs here and >5 of trilema articles, you'll have to go through all that to find your own answer.
mircea_popescu: BlueMeanie4 well it's not necessarily defined, but to me gypped is the inverse process : when some lout appropriates capital he shouldn't have.
rybro: wouldn't nice be just as subjective as good ?
antonosika: I deposit 3 btc to you. Isn't it fair that we decide something nice that happens with it if there is a large delay of ETH currency?
mircea_popescu: the purpose is to gain exposure to eth. you can't have the exposure without the exposure.
mircea_popescu: BlueMeanie4 well it doesn't help that he doesn;'t really know the common terminology.
xmj: it doesn't specify that you have the right not to buy said amount of BTC.
danielpbarron: wow, now warriorforum won't let me link to other people's sites in my signature
assbot: Your own Fort Knox. http://t.co/KWtYswD7e0
BingoBoingo: %t
jurov: i don't sniff ether. i prefer euros
jurov: Cognitive enhancement could take place through collective cognitive ability -- the Internet, for example, and institutional innovations that enable humans to function better together. In terms of individual cognitive enhancement, the first thing likely to be successful is genetic selection in the context of in-vitro fertilization. I don't hold out much for cyborgs or implants.
