mircea_popescu: orly. im sure they're "commercial" in a sense other than, "moar
bezzle"
mod6: the Twins built that Target field for $1bn
bezzle bucks. and if you step outside to smoke the fascist asswads wont let you re-enter.
mircea_popescu: i mean, the written output of the
bezzle world is not about convincing, or for that matter even fooling mp.
ascii_modem: that money only existed for as long as it wasn't put to work << definition of
bezzle, aha
decimation:
bezzle lawyers would sue you out of of your socks
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: yeah, difficult to get ahold of in
bezzle land, which increasingly seems to prefer to "select a hero at random" (as per naggum).
decimation: this ledgerX thing is amusing.
bezzle's gotta
bezzle decimation: thestringpuller: can't he find someone with some credit to get a
bezzle loan?
decimation: BingoBoingo: yeah, prices of assets that are outside the
bezzle orbit have generally held steady
mircea_popescu: you can coax time on expensive machinery for very little money. what costs is the
bezzle support, you know ? most of grant money goes back to university to "pay for" grad students etc.
decimation: right, only proper friends of the
bezzle get the legal privileges
decimation: my company sells my time at $210 per hour, but that's
bezzle rates with
bezzle qualifications
mircea_popescu: so they even know about, just, won't mention the
bezzle corps.
ben_vulpes: decimation: nope.
bezzle hosting gets paid for with bezzlebux.
mircea_popescu: in forbes this month : find out why and wherefore the most overvalued company of all time is "not at all" overvalued, because reasons unstated ; come see how their
bezzle is not nearly as good as our
bezzle, a fact directly proven by the happenstance that what our numbers show should be possible is directly and observably not possible
decimation: asciilifeform: the page I linked above does list her prominent
bezzle connections
mircea_popescu: so there are degrees. yes, everyone in the
bezzle is in the
bezzle.
TheNewDeal: isn't the same thing in the
bezzle economy?
mircea_popescu: i suppose the next logical
bezzle step is a tesla-lockheed merger
decimation: real estate will always be an asset - but the
bezzle freshly printing to fund it won't
jurov: and if he gave you some
bezzle usd?
decimation: but I am assuming a world where e-m spectrum could be otherwise be allocated to other-than-friends-of-the-
bezzle mircea_popescu: is anyone even keepiung count of all these braindamaged "services" the
bezzle keeps pumping out ?
mircea_popescu: otherwise endlessly spinning the "simulated loads" of
bezzle is a great way to keep a great engine away from the road.
mircea_popescu: saifedean: making the switch from the crap that everyone eats today to paleo eating is no less revolutionary than jumping from the world of
bezzle to bitcoin <<< eh get out with the paleo stuff. what do you do for cake ?
saifedean: oh but paleo is intimately related to bitcoin: it is cheap money that has plagued the world with high time preference and that, in turn, is what has turned food from being nourishing to a giant
bezzle-funded industry that aims to provide sugar kicks and insulin spikes to the proles immediately when the temptation kicks in.
saifedean: interesting... my idea is also to make it a paleo restaurant... if you guys haven't gone paleo yet, let me just point that making the switch from the crap that everyone eats today to paleo eating is no less revolutionary than jumping from the world of
bezzle to bitcoin
saifedean: with the emergence of bitcoin and the destruction of the world of
bezzle and its instant gratification and fast food culture, people are going to appreciate and pay top dollar for the quality stuff that's done right
saifedean: once you've had a proper well-cooked steak, any other day of your life will be ruined if you venture into a McDonald's or some other
Bezzle Institution
saifedean: the way i see it, bitcoin will kill pretty much all the world of
bezzle, as i'm sure you folk agree, and the only jobs that will thrive in th future are those that involve actually doing something useful for other people which others appreciate and are happy to pay for. there are few things in life people appreciate better than a well-cooked steak, and few things in life that are done badly as often
saifedean: coz i really enjoy grilling, i'm very good at it, people really like my steaks and i could get them to pay me good money to eat it if i put my head to make it good... sounds to me like a better way of spending your life than any
bezzle career
saifedean: it sure as hell beats working in the world of
bezzle, a slave-like existence producing nothing and wasting your life in a worthless pissing contest whose first prize is the ability to kiss a bigger ass
saifedean: may i ask what did you do in the pre-bitcoin era? In the
Bezzle Age?
mircea_popescu: except the owners happen to not be
bezzle-rooted, some dudes in latvia rather than san fran.
hanbot: the
bezzle academiponzi.
mircea_popescu: so, 3:1
bezzle ? except that 1 will prolly be just as bezzletronic ? what is this, lenin's wet dream or something ?
mircea_popescu: PeterL: Speaking of
bezzle, I just did my yearly health insurance signup. makes me mad how much I have to pay now, about 4 times as much as two years ago for the same crappy plan <<< terrorist doesn't understand how obamacare works.
decimation: Sure, let's print up some more
bezzle, why not
PeterL: Speaking of
bezzle, I just did my yearly health insurance signup. makes me mad how much I have to pay now, about 4 times as much as two years ago for the same crappy plan
mircea_popescu: and i very much doubt any of the
bezzle-powered "entrepreneurs" will ever manage one.
mircea_popescu:
bezzle influence. they will charge a derpy usg bureaucrat 2k for an hour, and then take three dudes at some party
mircea_popescu: if it loses the usg
bezzle lifeline (wf) it's gonna be "all" rather than "some" tho.
mircea_popescu: pretty much everyone in washington is somehoe connected to a
bezzle thing that runs on "helping" west africa
bounce: some
bezzle, gather together the people that can do the block-building, ship'em off to shenzen, open-source the results
bounce: nothing ended up here. could use a bit of
bezzle. say, to build a harder-to-snoop phone.
ben_vulpes: went to home depot (
BEZZLE CENTRAL, APPARENTLY)
bounce: wonder if buying chunks of laid up corporate tax evasion
bezzle at a discount would be sellable to them corps.
bounce: if the fab is laid up there's lots of tax break leverage. but you'd have to be a big corp to really make that happen. you know, apple and their sea^Wocean of
bezzle. they can't use it in the usa though, have to buy up something somewhere else.
mircea_popescu: an interesting alternative entry point into the theory of teh
bezzle decimation: yeah this is a good point. I rent now and I'm reluctant to get back into the real estate
bezzle world
mircea_popescu: <decimation> indeed. The other day I was trying to find an etf or stock that didn't depend on '
bezzle' (ie usg fiat finance). I didn't succeed. << this is roughly equivalent to, "the other day, i tried to find a natural process going backwards in entropy. i didn't succeed"
decimation: indeed. The other day I was trying to find an etf or stock that didn't depend on '
bezzle' (ie usg fiat finance). I didn't succeed.
decimation: ah, you would have to rewrite
bezzle wintel software stack
decimation: one would become an enemy of the wintel
bezzle lords
jurov: redhat would be in a position to do it..but perhaps their current
bezzle makes better $$$
mp_colonist: i suppose this is a good
bezzle unit. whatscrap sold for .15 alibabas
ben_vulpes: is running a consulting shop and sucking dollars out of shartups a short on the
bezzle market?
decimation: if they reset the research budget to $2000 they couldn't afford the
bezzle-equipment
peterl: gotta love all those
bezzle dollars
decimation: as if Harvard has anything to say about how actual (non-
bezzle) business is run
assbot: Logged on 25-12-2013 21:26:27; asciilifeform: at some point 'the
bezzle' becomes real, the cartoon wolf looks down and finally obeys gravity, goes splat off the cliff.
mircea_popescu: decimation: I called up NIST a few weeks ago, asked them how much it would cost to measure the phase noise of an oscillator. They said it would only cost their time, which would come to about $10k! for a morning session <<< in other words, "can only work if you have supply of
bezzle dollars", ie, "only with scrip saying it's ok signed by stalin"
mircea_popescu: decimation: yeah back in the early 1900's the whole idea of the 'silver dollar' was the precursor to the modern
bezzle << not so clear cut, really. more like a power struggle between west and east.
decimation: yeah back in the early 1900's the whole idea of the 'silver dollar' was the precursor to the modern
bezzle decimation: asciilifeform: the purpose being to attract more
bezzle funding?
mircea_popescu: <decimation>
bezzle finance did pretty well << insanely well.
decimation: it is interesting how the us status hierarchy (bureaucrats on top, producers of things on bottom) has all kinds of distorting effects -- all of which is funded by the distortion of
bezzle money
