mircea_popescu: wasn't jurov modded ?
BingoBoingo: Bash hasn't updated in a while... is it on Mats_cd03's no poop pills?
mircea_popescu: no matter how ridiculous counting fiddy hundred dollar bills may look to the sort of people i don't fuck anyway
mircea_popescu: davout http://fr.anco.is/2014/06/16/the-security-fail-blockchain-wont-tell-you-about/ << good points, but the blockchain wallet usecase isn't storying a lot of btc.
mircea_popescu: evil is traditionally used as the catchall for anything anyone perceives as contrarian or enmitous and isn't readily reducible.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i wonder how they manage to shoot videos tbh. if i were living the limited lifespan of a rappar, i couldn't give less of a shit as to what tv convntions are.
mircea_popescu: or so common & obvious it really doesn't need a word for itself
mircea_popescu: bitcoin can't be regulated because it regulates you.
mircea_popescu: well you can't cutthe knife
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: Maybe ask why hes till isn't Bitrich
fluffypony: he didn't read my comments AT ALL
BingoBoingo: 2.X for some values of X isn't bad. Same with 3.X with caveat, that for some values of X.
pankkake: I haven't tried those yet though
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves you need a comment permalink, because nao i can't say thestringpuller;'s got a prettry interesting comment up there at http://devilsadvocate.biz/crabs-in-the-bucket/?replytocom=75#respond
jurov: Apocalyptic why? i wouldn't put it past them?
Apocalyptic: i wouldn't hazard a guess, too much for sure
BingoBoingo: %t
BingoBoingo: %t
mircea_popescu: course this is a fact people who aren't familiar with atc history probably easily miss.
mircea_popescu: %t
atcbot: %t | %ticker | %book | %diff | %tx <tx_id> | %bal <address> | %mined | %block <block_height> | %lb | %tslb | %cm | %ptp | %help | %h
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: American's didn't have the too much money problem until recently though (1950's) Kids who grew up with that mindset run the show nao though... or at least imagine they do
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo only recently. didn't use to be.
mircea_popescu: rack up the fiat expenses so you don't make a profit, take the bitcoin home.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony " Given how reliant this company is on paying backend costs in fiat" I don't follow this part.
Apocalyptic: <mircea_popescu> Vexual: can't afford it ? << actually, they could, they just dun want to. // yeah they could at the expense of roughly half their USD reserves
mircea_popescu: Vexual: can't afford it ? << actually, they could, they just dun want to.
pankkake: I don't mean made by MP
Apocalyptic: fluffypony, "Additionally, don't confuse the possibility of them being fiat profitable with them being Bitcoin profitable" too many derps don't distinguish between the two and will generally eagerly settle for the former
jurov: "it was pretty hard to not reach a positive ROI by now with most asics." this doesn't have anything to do with mp
Vexual: nothing a few thousand men couldn't scratch off the surface in a month
Vexual: can't afford it ?
mircea_popescu: knc kinda delivers don't they
moiety: most people don't watch memento the full way through or complain it doesn't make sense either
moiety: i don't understand how anyone could have found it confusing
moiety: oh nubbins`, i watched quite a few films when i was internetless. This is really good: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1242460/ (also shutter island and inception but i think i'm the only one in the world who hadn't seen those yet)
asciilifeform: can't dig it up in nature? build. unless we have hands solely to jack off with.
mircea_popescu: check it out, google has managed to erase history. the only winner of nurenberg doesn't exist in the brave new world.
nubbins`: can't leave a dangling <
asciilifeform: (the hicks don't start with a bag of carbon, a bottle of water...)
asciilifeform: a world where coke is the currency and sugar is illegal... an agro product << point of the second (e. coli) gedankenexperiment isn't that the planet needs a gigaton of coke (perhaps it does, but i digress) but would be to profit maximally off the 'demonetization.'
TheNewDeal: still won't see it for 1 cent at your local whatnot
asciilifeform: (coke is no more difficult to churn out by the gigaton than, e.g. progesterone. do you see it at local pharmacist for a penny a dose? didn't think so. because it is a kind of chemical / international fiat currency. with all of the features that come with such.)
asciilifeform: cocaine demonetization is, of course, gedankenexperiment. nobody interesting is particularly well-positioned to benefit from it, and so it won't happen - just as cardboard full-height replica of eiffel's tower won't happen.
mircea_popescu: you can buy cocaine can't you ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform << i don't see it. columbia.
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> Mats_cd03: hopefully you weighed yourself before and after and didn't pile your shit on some poor scale. << freezer bags ftw
BingoBoingo: The only significant problem with MAOIs was they prevented selling the patient other drugs... at least drugs that aren't amphetamines
moiety: i had a patient that was on so many conflicting medications his liver was shutting down. every time i saw him, he was thinner and felt worse and they just wouldn't do anything. i'm worried what happened to him since i left
asciilifeform: btc folks who expect to 'can have problems' from daring to demonetize the dollar should contemplate gedankenexperiment - what'd happen to a nation that 'demonetizes'... cocaine. (that is, establishes dirt-cheap production & distribution.) if your starfish doesn't quiver at the thought of the 'problems you can have' then...
mike_c: Mats_cd03: hopefully you weighed yourself before and after and didn't pile your shit on some poor scale.
asciilifeform: this is why the 'optimize for patentability' process is an inevitable crock of shit. when the scamz0rs can't enclose the commons - they torch them.
asciilifeform: interestingly, sometimes the pharma folks fail: they spent some years trying to cough up a dopamine reuptake inhibitor that doesn't reduce to a synthetic cocaine, and, afaik, gave up ☟︎☟︎
Mats_cd03: i can't tell if you're trying to bait college feminists into marketing trilema
mircea_popescu: they don't usually do anything useful, but it's never for lack of pretending like they tried.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you don't count post script, because you're dealing with random college kids.
mike_c: it's for your band isn't it?
jurov: "the lineup still doesn't include any African-American characters"
jurov: Mats_cd03 we aren't there yet. apparently there's still "diversity gap": http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2459629,00.asp
adrrr: oh so I'm a noob lol I didn't saw that
adrrr: When I see that I just don't wanna bet
jurov: if you don't qualify you easily become butt of jokes
adrrr: lol I don't understand you, can we say better odds?
benkay: or .1...but it doesn't matter, you know?
adrrr: kakobrekla: I didn't talk about the design, but the number
mircea_popescu: i can't wait until people start reading the logs before they think they're being all newsworthy and shit
Dimsler: i can't wait until the first kidnapping for btc occurs
edlund10: i left it, but wasn't sure if it's enough
mircea_popescu: aite then. dealing with iran isn't such a bad thing anyway
mircea_popescu: too strong statements put you in the unenviable position that a ready counterexample can be constructed that speaks to what you say, and then your entire argument looks weak, where it needn't.
jurov: it isn't so much yet it would require offshore solution
assbot: Feds put up signs telling cats to stay away (Psst! Cat's can't read.) | The Libertarian Republic
mircea_popescu: the only reason this isn't the rule now is the relative small size of the deals, which makes cluelessness seaworthy
mircea_popescu: on the short term, 2015-2016, it'll be AMAZING what sort of interest people will be able to earn if they don't actually want their bitcoin capital back
assbot: Ukraine Gas Pipeline Explosion Won't Affect Supplies to Europe - WSJ
chetty: so in Pennsylvania if you don{t log into a bank account for 6 months the state takes it
davout: i can't wait for the triple-entry accounting illustration
mircea_popescu: well it doesn't have a vest, but anyway. got pockets and everything
davout: pankkake: "it's daily volume" <<< nothing that a couple 0-fee accounts can't fix anyway
mike_c: jurov: for the record, my retarded comment was about buying the coins to sell, not your theory :) but i agree with mp that I don't think the bitstamp price will have much to do with the auction price.
mircea_popescu: i was about to say davout got 51 problems and a horse ain't one.
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't worry too much if i were you.
mircea_popescu: pankkake you don't have to use the exchanges. you can just undercut los_pantalones here :D
los_pantalones: i thought the market should have rallied on the auction news, it wasn't necessarily clear how they would sell the coins
jurov: mike_c i don't understand the sentiment, either... rather suspect someone hopes to win the auction and is tryng to dump the price
mircea_popescu: los_pantalones you didn't see people arguing that
mircea_popescu: but then what's that scrape when blackberry wouldn't give its keys to some foreign, i don't recall, russia was it ?
moiety: artifexd: omg! thanks for linking me! thats my first manul gif... lol it's brilliant, can't stop chuckling :D
mircea_popescu: no wonder they can't get talent.
mircea_popescu: and the kurds aren't the jews, either.
nubbins`: ^ lel, but how many t-shirts?
decimation: right, but the point is that a realistic nuclear attack isn't going to be much more damaging than conventional bombs if defenses are prepared
asciilifeform: this one wasn't a quick learner.
asciilifeform: don't be surprised to see nasa-branded horoscopes
BingoBoingo: decimation: KDE isn't a desktop environment anymore though. It is nao a kitchen sink circle jerk. Eventually they'll make a kernel... Just you wait...
asciilifeform: at least they didn't plug him

Apocalyptic: <mircea_popescu> a uni program that doesn't shed 50% is dubious on its face << pretty much
mircea_popescu: you just can't get such a good measure of kids coupla years post puberty
