mircea_popescu: before they unlearn the stupidities and insanities they learned and can become productive members of the community.
mircea_popescu: this is bad, because the net result is even more idiots who have to first be beaten into a pulp, either by mpoe-pr or the market
mircea_popescu: Namworld no. what i think is that some people who have no clue about bitcoin pretend to teach others about bitcoin.
ThickAsThieves: just thought the link was worth sharing
Namworld: I don't see why all the criticism, that's all. Oh. So you expect we'll see a fucking thousand Bitcoin crowdfunding website clones being mass produced at Standford? That would be awful...
ThickAsThieves: we all know it won't stop there
Namworld: It's a course project... it's not meant to be deployed outside the class, it's meant to be functional. Learn how to build stuff.
mircea_popescu: also in the news, i'm actually playing minigame rpg.
ThickAsThieves: who knew that being lazy about meeting with the financial advisor would pay off
mircea_popescu: about as many as stanford bitcoin start-ups, give or take.
Namworld: Not about comparing/mixing the two togethers
mircea_popescu: actually i just read some us bonds data and i'm lolled the fuck out.
Namworld: I'm just saying the project must integrate a payment method. And they chose to make students integrate Bitcoin instead of something more, erhm... "traditional". It's akin of saying they'd run on Linux instead of saying Windows.
ThickAsThieves: maybe buttcoin has something to cheer you up
mircea_popescu: these two aren't interchangeable.
Namworld: No, about functionally being able to process Bitcoin transactions
Namworld: instead of integrating Paypal or some such to the project, it will be Bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: are you talking about the word "bitcoin" ?
ThickAsThieves: it gets the kids to pay attention maybe
Namworld: Well because the project integrates Bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: so must add the cool words to whatever they're doing. my bad!
mircea_popescu: o o right. and they're in california
mircea_popescu: it just claism to be
mircea_popescu: the point being that it's in no way bitcoin related
Namworld: But the fact it's Bitcoin isn't really important I guess.
Namworld: No... but the course's project will obviously be related to building some startup project
mircea_popescu: "i'm the pe teacher. it just so happens i fucked all the students"
mircea_popescu: DUDE. education is not a "just so happens" thing.
mircea_popescu: so basically what you're saying is that the coindesk idiots came up with some more random nonsense and it's not really the guy's fault ?
Namworld: It just happens to be that the final project for the course is to build your own Bitcoin crowdfunding thingy
Namworld: Startup Engineering is the name of the course
mircea_popescu: o wait, that actually 404s. problem solved i guess.
mircea_popescu: quite fucking properly ThickAsThieves
mircea_popescu: i must have misread the fucking link.
ThickAsThieves: MPEx - The Finance Incubator
Namworld: They teach startups/business
Namworld: They don't teach Bitcoin at all.
ThickAsThieves: this must be part of that trend where you are only cool if you are some sort of "incubator"
mircea_popescu: Namworld perhaps i'm missing something if you imagine folding@home has anything to do with bitcoin.
Namworld: And that there's lecturers from Silicon Valley startups too...
Namworld: It says in the article "Srinivasan is the Co-founder and CTO of genomics startup Counsyl, and Pande Founder and director of the Folding@Home Project."
mircea_popescu: beautiful academia, people who have absolutely nothing to do with a subject teach it.
mircea_popescu: never heard of them.
ThickAsThieves: the doc is in the link
ThickAsThieves: wait there're several
mircea_popescu: who the fuck thinks he's qualified to be doing this.
mircea_popescu: i think it's all fruities involved as it is neh ?
mircea_popescu: " tbh im kinda fascinated with this entire blender to 3d printer jazz i keep seeing when i search for whatever related stuffs...you gotta figure ppl'd be able to make some seriously insane dildos"
mircea_popescu: maybe he just took a vow of silence ?
Namworld: Sorry to hear you have less than 1 day to live.
Namworld: Like ever? On any topic?
mircea_popescu: you think ?
ThickAsThieves: he signed the contract this morning
ThickAsThieves: Over in BitFunder there's a guy who just IPO'd a fiat asset for flipping houses
