HeySteve: right, I get it. I am trying to finetune the WoT system without fixing what ain't broke. this is a definite point of improvement
fluffypony: DrewHorne: not really in any centralised/managed fashion, this isn't a /r/jobs4bitcoins :-P
fluffypony: pankkake: yeah - to a large degree, investors don't *necessarily* have the knowledge to be in the space the business is operating in (otherwise they'd be in the space), so they're just proffering an opinion
mircea_popescu: DrewHorne im really not interested in carrying private conversations. we don't know each other, we have nothing private to discuss.
pankkake: I like the point where you'd have to trust other shareholder's opinions. I certainly wouldn't want that
mircea_popescu: because you couldn't afford to let a physical tractor go to waste, as a society.
mircea_popescu: history has shown that their opinions weren't worth holding.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: getting pushback from 1 person who can't understand why we aren't giving VertPay investors voting rights
fluffypony: what's the rationale behind investors getting voting rights if they cumulatively own like 10% or 20% of a company? doesn't that seem redundant?
fluffypony: won't they lack context if they do that?
mircea_popescu: well so in that case don't oppose what he said to me eh!
mircea_popescu: fluffypony you didn't get shot down ? i supported it, what did you think "fluffypony on the topic of how good design begets business." meant ?
mircea_popescu: i don't think there ever existed or could ever exist a functioning society in which nursing jobs are to be discounted because too little demand and too many people wanting to do it.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: if she speaks English, why doesn't she look at the TEFL stuff and similar? I have a friend in Cape Town who teaches English via Skype to foreigners, she doesn't have to speak a foreign language, just has to be able to speak English
mircea_popescu: couldn't pay for my fucking coffee. not all the coffee i drink in a week, either, just, one time.
fluffypony: TheNewDeal: I'm a poor gambler, and don't know enough about it to make a commitment
peterl: hmm, not a real hot seller, I don't think that is where the mpoe action is going
peterl: !t m x.eur
TheNewDeal: didn't think those were possible any more
benkay: if i don't respond within fifteen minutes i'm offline.
benkay: well, you can't talk in here
benkay: don't register until you've blown it away and restored it from backup at least twice.
benkay: <Drew> but while buying an idaho bun may taste different than a florida bun, a meyer subwoofer rented from idaho would be the same as one rented in florida << the tastes and social mores differ wildly across the different regions. f'r instance, you'll have a mighty hard time displacing red cube in portland (but again don't ever do anything in this town)
Drew: in all likelihood we won't need the whole 1.25 million but there is a cushion of about 300,000 built in
mircea_popescu: unless it's on obamacare they can't afford it.
mircea_popescu: yeah, seriously, it is so very difficult to understand. couldn't have even predicted it, either. o.O
asciilifeform: but it isn't hard to see how it could have been.
asciilifeform: ducks/trucks line wasn't there
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'don't touch the mustache.' (どういたしまして)
mircea_popescu: drew if you can't summarize it throw it out.
mircea_popescu: casual examination would indicate otherwise, but hey. you're a millenial aren't you ? got plenty of time.
mircea_popescu: of course, the us college hasn't been giving people thinking tools in 50 years, but anyway.
mircea_popescu: Drew the problem of not having completed formal education is that you don't end up with a structured thinking process. this is not so bad for people like engineers, who don't really need it quite to the degree, but you're trying to go into business.
mircea_popescu: airbnb to this day doesn't realise that it's much more successful in canada than in the us, or why.
mircea_popescu: these aren't the result of throwing darts at a highschool map
Drew: -ID&T (Tomorrowland / Tomorrowworld) - $100,000,000 - 75% ownership
asciilifeform: (i, for those who don't know, ended up here entirely by fortune. invited by mpoepr/hanbot)
benkay: !t h rent
benkay: "doesn't bleed coins"?
BingoBoingo: The point though is to continue demonstrating you aren't an idiot
benkay: i can't trust you without it though.
benkay: i don't really care
Drew: thats ok, politeness isn't something i came looking for. I have a thick skin and would prefer constructive brute criticism to beating around the bush senseless politeness any day
benkay: if your brand = your corporation, i don't see how that's addressing the concern.
Drew: while they own many venues and are able to throw larger shows and more frequently than most people, they don't directly throw any festivals or 5000+ person events that i am aware of
benkay: also, you can't up yourself, i don't think.
benkay: not retarded at all. better the team you know than the miscellaneous derps from the meetup you don't.
mike_c: you can't unsee it
DrewHorne: and i actually don't watch any TV really
mircea_popescu: Jezzz i wouldn't know wtf the bitbet 677 is off my head
ThickAsThieves: Couldn't kako also dynamically create the title to be that?
gribble: Error: Something in there wasn't a valid number.
mike_c: don't see much on bitbet to short diff for june
mircea_popescu: if this hasn't already happened a few years back
benkay: until you've got the girls showing up with other girls you can't really call it a harem.
mircea_popescu: you can argue this with me till either of us get bored. point remains : this isn't a business, it's a hobby.
mircea_popescu: you won't make money from making sound any more than a girl will make money taking selfies.
mircea_popescu: funny, i can't tell whether my heater fan is working from here.
mircea_popescu: tbh, unless you got some turboprop shit going on here, a properly soundproofed garage shouldn't care anywya.
benkay: because heating water isn't dead simple to begin with.
benkay: can't tell if 'design' or just derps lifted out of someone else's DC for their 2 years in aws.
mircea_popescu: benkay this design is nonsense, i don't care wtf.
mircea_popescu: and i coulnd't make it out because obviously it's tjuna
mircea_popescu: In the 80's it merged with Éditions J becoming Éditions Vaillant-Miroir Sprint (VMS) (by then i wasn't paying attention anymore)
mircea_popescu: twasn't published by l'humanite
benkay: mircea_popescu: if they can't figure out where the money is i don't want to meet them.
pankkake: Pif was edited by l'Humanité, the communist newspaper (still active). though surpringly there wasn't much propaganda
pankkake: I'm probably too young for it. I haven't read much Pif either
mircea_popescu: what's gals in french again ? can't be you guys go around saying copine or some shit
mircea_popescu: i hope you didn't refer to those people as "guys"
pankkake: I remember the day I got free drinks thanks to GitHub. Gave the tip to a bunch of people, most of them didn't even know what GitHub was
mircea_popescu: pankkake clearly you don't understand the party culture.
bitcoinpete: i wouldn't hire them to mow my lawn
pankkake: https://i.imgur.com/kqrYBFI.jpg doesn't look like it
pankkake: millions invested, can't even pay for real DDoS protection or servers
pankkake: I just wanted to know what was the purchase link I created a while back, I don't use the API
pankkake: and of course I discover it because… the page isn't responding
asciilifeform: sitting under desk - wasn't an entirely dumb idea.
asciilifeform: it doesn't rotate freely in its pedestal - only twists. along any axis.
mircea_popescu: children are born cowardly, if your preschooler can't be controlled by scowling you need to work on your warface.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I didn't hear anything like that. Could also be dumb UK stuff?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo didn't they ban that uk fellow recently ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I don't think twitter really bans.
BingoBoingo: No it isn't at all.
mircea_popescu: that bitcointa.lk thing isn't really doing that bad.
mircea_popescu: and moreover, why the d is rendered as n in a double n, wtf, this isn't even a documented consonant migration afaik
asciilifeform: didn't miss much.
mircea_popescu: JorgePasada yup. can't be beat.
ozbot: Nicolas T. COURTOIS' research in cryptography
mircea_popescu: JorgePasada well you know, if one can't reach eventual intellectual consistency through logical means, the only method available is not asking questions.
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete: eventually, i see fewer people walking into bitcoin (and assets) like they own the place << kinda what i'm trying to get with the trouting various clueless twits a la courtois. "it ain't yo momma's btc, yo! show some respek!"
JorgePasada: and the worst part is they don't even try to question their own understanding and/or more accurately drill down on meaning
fluffypony: JorgePasada: I see our friends in the Neo&Bee thread don't understand that when you and I say "creditor" we mean "creditor" and not "investor"
mircea_popescu: yes, this is true, money changers didn't traditionally run like banks.
mircea_popescu: <Apocalyptic> haven't these guys given up already ? << i was kinda surprised myself.
TomServo: mircea_popescu: I seem to recall you mentioning Piketty, but don't recall the context. Was it regarding his book?
fluffypony: I'm a media whore and got interviewed on a podcast: https://soundcloud.com/zerofiat/zero_fiats-vertcoin-update-05-06-2014#t=11:40
bitcoinpete: ;;later tell heysteve i haven't seen your links on crytocoinnews so feel free to pass them along!
fluffypony: I actually can't bring myself to finish it
thestringpuller: a n00b that isn't willfully ignorant
