mircea_popescu: you're both famouser nao.

mircea_popescu: it's a fact tho. for the past year or so kakobrekla has been acting the superservant, and as a result the chan came to dominate bitcoin discussion.

mircea_popescu: and in general, whenever someone is willing to play the superservant, his thing will be a hub of conversation.

mircea_popescu: there's a reason people met in inns historically.

mircea_popescu: well teahouses to be fair to the actually larger azn tradition

mircea_popescu: it's a rare skill tho. and drudge is old.

mircea_popescu: we need a new eccentric faggot in a hat.

mircea_popescu: as it doesn't seem to justify the time expenditure

mircea_popescu: no idea

mircea_popescu: uh what ?

mircea_popescu: o0 hey, do ignores now give people a cool backing for their name ?

mircea_popescu: and i thought truffles was a girl anyway

mircea_popescu: cutting is the answe.

mircea_popescu: he is only incidentally in there

mircea_popescu: much like his "involvement" in bitcoin generally.

mircea_popescu: that's a myth.

mircea_popescu: the gspot exists tho.

mircea_popescu: no way ?!

mircea_popescu: dude what sorcery did the russians do to finland

mircea_popescu: anyway, this is all the fun i can take for one day. see you all later.

mircea_popescu: jurov what's down ?

mircea_popescu: o. ok.

mircea_popescu: that doesn't sound like a hoster at all anyway

mircea_popescu: "we sell shoes. rain is not acceptable. we will not refund your purchase if you wear your shoes in the rain"

mircea_popescu: i'm sorry, that's not a shoe, and that's not hosting.

mircea_popescu: ;;ticker

mircea_popescu: ;;calc 1160 / 122.14596

mircea_popescu: that is a point.

mircea_popescu: In the United States, at least 9% of school-aged children have been diagnosed with ADHD, and are taking pharmaceutical medications. In France, the percentage of kids diagnosed and medicated for ADHD is less than .5%.

mircea_popescu: heh.

mircea_popescu: jurov totally.

mircea_popescu: fiat500 it's an article in a trade magazine. do not expect sources or anything

mircea_popescu: Consistently enforced limits, in the French view, make children feel safe and secure. Clear limits, they believe, actually make a child feel happier and safer—something that is congruent with my own experience as both a therapist and a parent. Finally, French parents believe that hearing the word "no" rescues children from the "tyranny of their own desires." And spanking, when used judiciously, is not considered chil

mircea_popescu: d abuse in France.

mircea_popescu: there.

mircea_popescu: slave labour.

mircea_popescu: or do you mean the logs.bitcoin site ?

mircea_popescu: lol

mircea_popescu: ok, that's kakobrekla's magic. i think he wrote some script

mircea_popescu: fiat500 humming along, singin' a song...

mircea_popescu: jborkl i saw it teh first time, it's in process.

mircea_popescu: scam stuff

mircea_popescu: dub i don't have a problem with it specifically because they don't call it wot anything

mircea_popescu: consequently... who cares. another web thing that doesn't work.

mircea_popescu: deposits flushed ftr.

mircea_popescu: dub how the fuck is bitcointalk "the official" anuything ?

mircea_popescu: the official comedy goldclub maybe.

mircea_popescu: yes. shit.

mircea_popescu: what is this ripple thread gaming ?

mircea_popescu: mmmm... so ?

mircea_popescu: lol. duh ?

mircea_popescu: dub simmer down and explain what you mean, what. we're slow.

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves well badly implemented "trust" features do create criminals.

mircea_popescu: dub as opposed to now ?!

mircea_popescu: dude get out, it's like, my girl. some sa goons, a coupla bitcoin jezuzez, five noobs and about 56895468059860983 nigerians

mircea_popescu: no, they will.

mircea_popescu: people are so retarded they're MORE likely to trust it if it's broken

mircea_popescu: beat you to it

mircea_popescu: yea, what you should explain is why you rthink this is important.

mircea_popescu: there;s a hidden assumption here somewhere.

mircea_popescu: a ok, there it is.

mircea_popescu: bitcointalk has as much to do with bitcoin as comedy central has to do with the us govt./

mircea_popescu: now, granted that some random achmed fresh off the boat may think southpark is the official us dept of state pr.

mircea_popescu: i know no such thing.

mircea_popescu: who exactly takes btctalk seriously ?

mircea_popescu: the -dev people have it aliased as trolltalk. i don't give a shit about what they sasy there, any more than reddit or w/e

mircea_popescu: nobody i know does.

mircea_popescu: who ? who is this person who takes btctalk seriously ?

mircea_popescu: yes, but... listen

mircea_popescu: isn't it ideal for noobs to be deluged in fake trust nuggets ?

mircea_popescu: if you can't stop them all, then isn't an infinity the best solution ?

mircea_popescu: so why do we care ?

mircea_popescu: fuck that

mircea_popescu: we have the btc. the rest of the world does not.

mircea_popescu: in the process of suckling our cock to get some btc,

mircea_popescu: the world is welcome to run into as many poles as it needs to

mircea_popescu: which part ?

mircea_popescu: bwahahaha what ?

mircea_popescu: fiat500 that slipped in.

mircea_popescu: like a mexican.

mircea_popescu: dub why ?

mircea_popescu: i have been paying top dollar for one person to try and educate legions of idiots.

mircea_popescu: she took a lot of time, the results are there, but

mircea_popescu: most idiots are still left in their original state.

mircea_popescu: dub where ?

mircea_popescu: i am paying people to educate noobs. let them be scammed. both work : either follow the light or go into the shitfest

mircea_popescu: people gotta have their choices. there's no education w/o choice.

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i'll tell you how this goes :

mircea_popescu: idiot person comes in. mpoe-pr tells him he's an idiot gives him a reading list.

mircea_popescu: idiot goes fu mpoe-pr scammor child pedophile gypsy

mircea_popescu: idiot gets burned

mircea_popescu: idiot goes fu bitcoin scamfest shit poopoo

mircea_popescu: idiot leaves

mircea_popescu: same idiot returns later, without his memories

mircea_popescu: rinse repeat

mircea_popescu: but they're different physical vessels of the same one idiot.

mircea_popescu: and there's like 10bn bodies on this earth

mircea_popescu: there's like... one douche that inhabits 9.95 bn of them

mircea_popescu: dub true. now that taaki is maffed out

mircea_popescu: its a great old idea very badly newly implemented.

mircea_popescu: wait wut. what;'s been proven broken you mean, the wot ?

mircea_popescu: totally.

mircea_popescu: dub all trust systems that work can also be gamed.

mircea_popescu: a trust system is a notation, like paper. it won't do your work for you in any circumstance.

mircea_popescu: it's just there so you have a reference for your thoughts. it doesn't put thoughts in your head.

mircea_popescu: but why do we care of the fate of the braindead ?

mircea_popescu: is it ?

mircea_popescu: i mean... it will keep like people away, right ?

mircea_popescu: no, i am serious. honestly.

mircea_popescu: let's go another angle at this.

mircea_popescu: suppose this reputational thing is actually a bitcoin weakness as you propose.

mircea_popescu: the government can then make 50000 sockpuppets, scam itself and kill btc this wya ?

mircea_popescu: i do.

mircea_popescu: understand : going fishing is a process directed AT THE FISH. you don;t care about the sea.

mircea_popescu: the sea per se is about as interesting to you as that much sand.

mircea_popescu: i understand your concern and honestly believe that it's being misplaced.

mircea_popescu: and i raged at the dev team for behaving idiotically. if you're blind you don't run and if you don't comprehend your code you don't add more. this on one hand

mircea_popescu: on the other hand no matter what you do you don't go into telling users how to use your output.

mircea_popescu: these are to date the only two tripwires the devteam managed to bumble over resulting in bitchslaping etc.

mircea_popescu: and i use "devteam" somewhat loosely here.

mircea_popescu: jborkl in case you missed it i did say flushed a few lines back

mircea_popescu: 3.141592

mircea_popescu: lmao

mircea_popescu: tell me it allows sql injections and you're going to delete the btctalk db

mircea_popescu: lol

mircea_popescu: lmao

mircea_popescu: so forum knows it's not really for big txs

mircea_popescu: bcb is prolific and that's the most you can say about him

mircea_popescu: especially if you're kindly disposed.

mircea_popescu: that's not saying much.

mircea_popescu: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=211741.msg2225442#msg2225442

mircea_popescu: that's some prime mpoe-pr right there

mircea_popescu: dub so say that.

mircea_popescu: dude, it's cool but don't go to retardspots.

mircea_popescu: I ended up losing lots of BTC at BTCJam.com, thinking that loans are "safe". That's a holdover from the physical, regulated banking world. Not true here. I'm actually a fairly good judge of "character", so I didn't lose all, as I saw that many did there. But I did lose about 30% of what I loaned out. The site itself is fairly good, but the "borrowers" are often not...

mircea_popescu: dub starty a blog.

mircea_popescu: not blogspot.

mircea_popescu: dub well it was for your friends

mircea_popescu: for that matter you could go "bitcoin is great and it happens on bitcoin-assets"

mircea_popescu: hey mjr_

mircea_popescu: ok, i beg to the great wisdom of this channel :

mircea_popescu: there was an article published about a year ago in gawker perhaps, explaining how horseface ruined new york

mircea_popescu: by making a bunch of retarded midwesterner housewives think they can just move there and be "writers"

mircea_popescu: supporting themsleves on the occasional piece accepted by the occasional magazine while going shopping daily

mircea_popescu: anyone got a link ?

mircea_popescu: fuck.

mircea_popescu: thanks mate.

mircea_popescu: lol wd

mircea_popescu: nah this isn't it sadly.

mircea_popescu: i think this may be a rewrite

mircea_popescu: it ha sexactly the lack of byte you'd expect from two lezbos named julia that failed in ny and so moved t la
