mike_c: hm, actually i don't know if he inherited or is self-made. self-made rich guys don't usually go quietly.

CheckDavid: I don't expect future forecasts
mike_c: mircea_popescu: nba owner is banned from attending games (even his own), and can't participate in league business. they are trying to get him to "relinquish" his ownership, whatever that means.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform supreme court doesn't agree with you. sorry.
mircea_popescu: so she's been bad, she gets spanked, it closes off the experience and she doesn't have to continue beating herself up for it, for instance.
mircea_popescu: point being, at least among sane people, it wouldn't come as a surprise
mircea_popescu: well whatever it is, you got three balls, you ejaculate tabsco sauce, it doesn't matter.
mircea_popescu: suppose you couldn't come. i mean you got all the parts, and fucking is fun, just, you don't splooge.
ThickAsThieves: "If the proposal before us now turns out to be insufficient or if we observe anyone taking advantage of the rule, I won't hesitate to use Title II," writes Wheeler, referring to an option that would let the FCC regulate ISPs much like landline phones.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the solution to the megaphone madman (mentioned in your 'twitter' page) isn't laser - it's ultrasonic 'voice in head' trick.
mircea_popescu: "o no, i won't be involved with basketball, they're nigger loving faggots"
mircea_popescu: well good, i hadn't been following it for ~20 years, and now i have a good answer if anyone asks me
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves it's not that they "don't like him". it's that they just got a cock and would like me to be impressed.
mircea_popescu: provided, of course, it wasn't hate speech.
asciilifeform: the way i understand it, the team won't be permitted in matches so long as he is owner.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: don't get me wrong - I'm a huge opera buff, and I could get lost in the architecture of the ancient Greeks, but I love being in places that are so fundamentally different to my own frame of reference
fluffypony: asciilifeform: I find the culture fascinating - I wouldn't want to live there (hate snow), but I find the culture so different to everything else that it intrigues me

benkay: twitter users can't think in units of length greater than 140 characters, and they labor over each character. i don't want to suggest we value qlty over qnty but ffs i don't think these people can engage in real time chat style webversations.
moiety: mircea_popescu: the whole idea we can't use 'guys'. i get this kind of crap all the time. also when i use 'dude'. i get feminazis giving me into trouble and i am female myself.
mircea_popescu: <benkay> These operations are run by what you could consider as volunteers << can't tell if stupid or being ironic << it's idiotic.
JorgePasada: I mean, I don't see how it could work any other way...
JorgePasada: Eh, it's just frustrating because I've talked with him about the bitty coin extensively, and he gets it, and the conclusion isn't bad at all
JorgePasada: but markets don't suffer from decision paralysis
benkay: These operations are run by what you could consider as volunteers << can't tell if stupid or being ironic
JorgePasada: where I think people don't understand the market
benkay: well don't do only one thing
benkay: don't explain things to them, that's teaching and takes time. just glare and kill their ego with your disapproval.
moiety: i don't mind children with ears and half a brain
benkay: wouldn't you prefer a cane?
benkay: and you don't even have any!

fluffypony: pankkake: I wouldn't consider WP a lesser evil than Disqus
pankkake: well, RENT is openly fiat business, so I wouldn't consider it bad to not be bitcoin-profitable
mike_c: well, he can't up himself if no one rates him
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: i wish you had a tag on trilema for articles about being so stupid you don't know how stupid you are
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves so as constructed, jd can't steal from players.
mike_c: but this doesn't break anything. because you can change your secret after the server secret is set.

ThickAsThieves: dooglus can't steal?
mircea_popescu: i don't follow.
mircea_popescu: the provably fair thing will sink fiat gambling, only, they don't know it yet.
mircea_popescu: there wasn't a users db.
moiety: http://colnect.com/en/coins/coin/36009-500_Manat_Pallas_Cat-Wildlife_Series-Turkmenistan these ones aren't but you need to get the full set
fluffypony: "writing" a coin doesn't involve much effort

Dimsler: i don't believe in evicerating the proliteriate
mircea_popescu: getting all the newspapers in a lifetime doesn't take an aggregate of 5 years.
fluffypony: kakobrekla: lol, isn't customer service fun?
Dimsler: the conference derps don't understand that they get paid in fiat
Dimsler: they don't add any value
mircea_popescu: criminals don't matter here for the same reason they don't matter irl. if they had any sense they'd find better use of their time.
Dimsler: man i can't believe how expensive eastern europe got
Apocalyptic: <mircea_popescu> you're a very ux minded fellow aren't you. // I concur
mircea_popescu: you're a very ux minded fellow aren't you.
mircea_popescu: i couldn't need a dns less : you know where to send funds becasuse yu get a gpg signed deposit slip.
Naphex: 1 way, # host -t dnskey addresses.btcxchange.ro
Naphex: if you don't resign the zone, it's invalid
fluffypony: pankkake is "Popescu's co-troll"? I didn't know it was a shared position
fluffypony: VanCleef: well I won't be plugging any funds into SeedCoin, but I do think that the TagPesa guy at least has some idea of what he's doing

Naphex: # host -t dnskey addresses.btcxchange.ro 127.0.0.1
Naphex: # host -t txt naphex.addresses.btcxchange.ro 127.0.0.1
mircea_popescu: punkman if i had any idea how to make it so it doesn't suck i'd be looking for it people not domain experts.
jurov: nanotube, why you can't for now just add a column to the database and a way to put signature(rating,message) there?
mircea_popescu: which wouldn't be a bad idea in any sense.
VanCleef: ok i still don't get it but thanks for the ups
Curious_George: yeah i don't know cryptography so GPG, PGP and GNU implementation are over my head
mircea_popescu: cazalla btw, weren't you doing affiliate marketing for a living ?
jurov: sooo why the bitcoin-assets donation addy isn't gpg signed? haaa?
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: the problem is we come full circle back to the adoption problem - as much as you want to keep Bitcoin in the hands of the techno-competent, it is going to spread, and the n00bs are going to need n00bish solutions because they aren't going to learn to use GPG no matter how often people get hacked / lose money
mircea_popescu: it's just that some [mostly irrelevant] people have decided they don't want to apply the solutionb.
mircea_popescu: i mean it's not like the problem doesn't have a perfect solution alreayd.
mircea_popescu: that ain't "directly".
BohemianHacks: so if you can't see that anything dealing with that topic would be subjective, I can't really help you.

mircea_popescu: fluffypony: except it wasn't the dude that started/owned Dragon's Tale << that was a riot. tepi's face lol.
mircea_popescu: i don't know you well enough yet to actually care what you think for its own sake.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: don't be too pedantic with the newbies :-P
mircea_popescu: BohemianHacks you can't, for the following reason : in order for something t obe an investment, it requires two things. a) that you've done research and b) that the research indicates +EV.
