assbot: Logged on 10-08-2014 11:09:36; moiety: I really didn't know what to say yesterday but I've had time to think now. I will leave the phone line on for the remainder of the term when I can and update the blog but I won't be able to be on IRC.

mircea_popescu: Duffer1: looks like he was credited, but i can't tell what the website is supposed to be << best i can determine, it's aiming to be a b-a without the ba, predicated on the theory that you can somehow have ideologically neutral sources of power.
fluffypony: so it doesn't really matter who issues them :)
Kamuela: content that wasn't republished from somewhere else. am i totally wrong? do all those cite their original sources?
Duffer1: looks like he was credited, but i can't tell what the website is supposed to be

mircea_popescu: In 1933, Bankhead nearly died following a five-hour emergency hysterectomy due to venereal disease. Only 70 pounds (32 kg) when she left the hospital, she stoically said to her doctor, "Don't think this has taught me a lesson!"

cazalla: ThickAsThieves: cazalla, is it fibromyalgia? >> I've been told it's somatization but i don't know tbh, i've exhausted whatever medical investigation i've been sent for, cardiologist said whatever it is, not my heart, neuro said whatever it is, not neurological, never tried cannabis for it, doesn't agree with me anyway so not an option
xanthyos: didn't feel comfortable staying on danielpbarron 's server anymore
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah most folks don't realize the limitations of adc's, especially when it comes to dynamic range issues
mircea_popescu: but whether it's legal or illegal doesn't decide whether they queue up for it

mircea_popescu: just like acid isn't a good adjuvant to latent paranoia.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's valid. a) erdos doesn't get his guidance from youtube ; b) most people taking it will scrub. ☟︎
decimation: mircea_popescu: you have a different writing style. you don't set off the 'derp' alarm, you set off the 'wait, wtf is he on about' alarm, which generally results in an interpretation excercise

mircea_popescu: this isn't such a great thing for babies.
asciilifeform isn't suggesting that the pliable idiot stratagem is a brilliant one that everyone should imitate - just pointing out its age.
asciilifeform: pederasty doesn't make herr wales smarter, either.
asciilifeform: 'smart' wasn't the top objective, though.
mircea_popescu: you know ? putting some idiot's wife in the gulag doesn't make him suddenly smart.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, i'm still interested in forum posting, didn't want you to think i was blowing it off even though that's what i've done this week, i'll bbl, week of logs to catch up on
mircea_popescu: "well honey, that doesn't make them any less bums"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform to be perfectly fair, the guy wasn't keeping his finances in the best of orders (according to you know, the criteria required so you don't get called "a cult leader" by teh cult leadership). nevertheless, nothing nearly as bad as what the childfucker jimbo wales did in his day
mircea_popescu: go work out. none of that high performance gym shit tho, this isn't to perform, this is to relax. ride a horse. swim. something sane.
mircea_popescu: knoweth ye, that while it is unlikely for freenode to buckle, more than anything because its brains are so scattered it's unlikely to manage to gather enough management to do anything, nevertheless this isn't a reason to not build parachute

asciilifeform: doesn't have to be alone - what's to stop somebody from riding grinding wheels in regiment ?
jurov: i don't think kako meant literal bacon and sausages
xmj: BingoBoingo: I don't get it?
BingoBoingo: It isn't unwarranted. It's on the first link in the topic
xmj: i didn't bring them unwarranted gifts
pete_dushenski: decimation: it's almost exactly that, combined with "don't make naive, model-based predictions and bet all your chips on models mapping reality"
mod6: i don't want to have to calculate anything if possible.
BingoBoingo: %t
BingoBoingo: X-Rob: Doesn't sound like the worst thing.
X-Rob: BingoBoingo: yeah. Seems to be mining away happily now. Just that I have no proof-of-mining, apart from random blocks appearing, and I don't like that. So yeah, I'll get onto making a pool later. But it's work-o'clock now.
fluffypony: and in the end I wasn't very impressed with it
nubbins`: poor guy couldn't even finish his statement over the laughter ;(
asciilifeform: or, for the inglischers, 'if ya don't believe this lie is true, ask the blind man, he saw it too'
mircea_popescu: nah that doesn't work either
TheInterocitor: No. They have nothing to offer that btc doesn't already do
mircea_popescu: speaking oif such instinct. i dunno if you've ever had dogs, but they're beyond funny when virgin. because while the dog's instinct absolutely drives him to try and mount the bitch, the dog's brain itself doesn't comprehend wtf is happening
mircea_popescu: fucktards don't understand rngs. took me all of 30 seconds to figure it out, too.
nubbins`: they sign up the shittest funds in the universe and chew up all the listing fees to unspecified "expenses", ensuring the investorubes don't get any of it
mircea_popescu: but his didn't get drained.
mircea_popescu: well no, it wasn't, because "chicago" as such dun exist.
mircea_popescu: BlueMeanie4 like what ? like say, omg! like say you stop thinking in terms of "romania" wqhich doesn't exist anyway, and you oinly use because you gotta use something,
mircea_popescu: but regardless of what really happened : there's no way forward. it died, and that's that. bury it and move on, you ain't fixing the corpse.
mircea_popescu: no, there wasn't "a degrade of quality".
mircea_popescu: this isn't like... o hey, bitcoin is trying to persuade the old order.
mircea_popescu: and by you i mostly don't mean you personally.
mircea_popescu: these "financial markets" aren't a single thing, and they only work as you describe them when they don't actually work.
nubbins`: OH NO IT WON'T
mircea_popescu: now, you're more welcome to get burned a few times if you won't listen and feel entitled to call things sophistry.
mircea_popescu: don't confuse historical accident with meaning.

mircea_popescu: well, get in the wot, im sure you won't sink here.
mircea_popescu: they didn't fail because of securitization directly, but nevertheless they will fail unavoidably for reasons rooted in why that particular kind of securitization works that particular way.
mircea_popescu: go ahead. it ain't happening here, and it won't survive the decade.
mircea_popescu: it doesn't work universally.
mircea_popescu: but the reason you can't is because that's a fucktarded system made by lazy apes that doesn't work
BlueMeanie4: WOT only looks at the person issueing and while this isn't useless, it is possible to make much better systems
mircea_popescu: BlueMeanie4 i don't think you understand hw it works.
mircea_popescu: you don't say.
mircea_popescu: BlueMeanie4 no it's not. they aren't for the mass market.
