mircea_popescu: she was if i recall some gofer/"product manager" for google is all.
BingoBoingo: Of course, but... When random derps on the tumblrs can spot this sort of shit.
cazalla: 7. Hold meetings at a non-mainstream coffee shop. <<< good advice
BingoBoingo: Derp X, Here's how to pretend to be the Y set of Derps.
thestringpuller: "A surefire way to look well-connected and important is to reference reputable investors or founders by first name." that seems slightly disrespectful
mircea_popescu: someone does that about say me, everyone instantly knows he never had the good luck to be in the same room with me.
mircea_popescu: obviously, i'm not alone. but no, to the parallel universe puppies everyone's like... you know, them.
thestringpuller: "Meet our badass, global family of startup founders, mentors, and investors"
mircea_popescu: "meet a collection of idiots from the intrernet who will think they're on a first name basis with you in spite of not actually having a bank account, and will be late to meetings at places where they can't afford to eat".
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: Something has to be important or a school to have Alumni. 1950's Nasa has Alumni, random college has alumni, random wankfest does not.
thestringpuller: Featured Wannabe Startups that were gestated in 500's accelarator is just a bit too long
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo words exist for inept marketeers to try and sell them right ?
thestringpuller: shippo has an okay value proposition but not really useful in its current incarnation
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Of course and once things that the words apply to lose any scarcity who cares about that word, next!
BingoBoingo remembers finding out that the Alumni association considered anyone who attended for four semesters and Alumni without any regard as to... graduation
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: that reminds me of huxely. Take all meaning out of a word as described in his book _Words and Their Meanings_
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: Well, the fucking french with Derrida encouraged it in the name of socialism and now social media marketers do it pretending to do capitalism.
thestringpuller: "A great deal of attention has been paid . . . to the technical languages in which men of science do their specialized thinking . But the colloquial usages of everyday speech, the literary and philosophical dialects in which men do their thinking about the problems of morals, politics, religion and psychology . these have been strangely neglected. We talk about "mere matters of words" in a tone which implies that we regard word
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: social media marketing has pretty much killed any respect one would get as a copywriter
mircea_popescu: before that, amateur/gonzo porn killed any respectone would have gotten as a porn star.
mircea_popescu: and even before that, "elected" derps killed any respect one could have had for leadership
mircea_popescu: i did but i didn't care so much for it. kinda plastic-y imo.
thestringpuller: Ah. I thought it was interesting they pointed out how amateur porn destroyed the artistic nature of "old school" porn.
mircea_popescu: except their crew and screenwriters suck so bad, the old school as depicted by them is a scary abomination
mircea_popescu: otherwise, the old school from deepthroat to brazzers is this kinda fun thing.
BingoBoingo: The Brazzers people have integrity to the craft.
mircea_popescu: yes, but also don't have the sort of power that had traci lords fuck dogs.
mircea_popescu: pornography without political clout is like power tools without electricity.
thestringpuller: As mircea_popescu points out in his article on YCombinator (Facebook lining up a billion idiots of investors), I wonder if the the world Mike Judge envisioned in Idiocracy is possible.
thestringpuller: Where people begin to belive the derps are professionals because no one knows any better.
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: It's largely here for a good portion of the population. The people who won't water the flowers or the garden without "Miracle Grow" and such.

mircea_popescu: the inflation is immense. back in the 80s, a 2k monthy salary made one comfortable
decimation: heh it depends where one is living, but yeah

mircea_popescu: two decades during which NOTHING paid anywhere remotely like 8%. not bonds, not stocks.
mircea_popescu: then people wonder why everyone, from china to russia, thumbs their noses at the us poverty.
decimation: it is interesting how quickly "women should be able to do anything men can do!!" fliipped into "women must work so that they can afford good schools, low crime neighborhoods, etc"

decimation: thestringpuller: yeah I might be exaggerating, they might be just plain barristas, or just sitting at home and receiving gov't checks
thestringpuller: well, along the lines of "derps managing", usually this results in the franchise being run into the ground
thestringpuller: I have a friend who is trying to open a skateboard shop literally 500 feet from the biggest skatepark in the state
thestringpuller: what does he do? He sells drugs in the woods behind it because he isn't competent enough to hire leadership to get the shop open.
decimation: I wonder how many 'franchises' actually make money for anyone other than the 'headquarters'
thestringpuller: instead he says, "You people don't know how this works" in reference to criticism of his poor decision making process.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller the thing with what people "Want to" do is that it's generally just a credible excuse
decimation: thestringpuller: can't he find someone with some credit to get a bezzle loan?
mircea_popescu: they don't by and large even remotely consider doing it. but it sounds cool
thestringpuller: decimation: as mircea_popescu once stated on trilema money is the least of his problems (in fact he is already "bankrolled" from drug dealing). his problem is finding competent people.
mircea_popescu: decimation re making money, there was this lulzy failure of one of romania's cardboard tycoons. he tried to open a franchised 7/11 thing.
thestringpuller: This is similar, imo, to the way ASICMINER has been run into the ground.
mircea_popescu: irl idiots get forced out of ownership once their company reaches success. in bitcoin, they have to relinquish willingly.
mircea_popescu: generally, they're too stupid to even realise this is an option
BingoBoingo: There's good franchises out there, but the secret is the management/owners have to be managed like the customers
mircea_popescu: look at dooglus's mishandling of justdice, no need to go further.
BingoBoingo: On the otherhand Subway does great business recruiting Doctors who want a tax writeoff to finance their new locations
decimation: BingoBoingo: is that how that works? I wondered why there were subways every 10 feet in the us
BingoBoingo: Yeah, and like every other franchise like that profitable locations are retained as "corporate stores"

thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: irl idiots get forced out of ownership once their company reaches success << this is usually the case, but sometimes idiots can be too dumb to realize they need to step aside in meatspace too.
BingoBoingo: Subway found a demo with money, and... they got shit done. They just had to manage their partners the same way they manage the cattle coming in for the product.
thestringpuller: I suppose in meatspace VC's can forcefully remove the leadership of a company in exchange for more money.
decimation: yeah actually the vc/founder relationship is probably alot like subway/franchise 'owner'
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller not at all. look at greenspun'ssad story with arsdigita
decimation: I've heard the google benefits are going downhill
mircea_popescu: decimation once i saw those "prosecutions" re wage fixing
mircea_popescu: i figured, "hey, whoever was competing in that market won meanwhile ; doing away with the entire thing"
decimation: yeah that's been quiet for awhile, I think they were going to 'settle' for $2k per person
mircea_popescu: basically, california is dead for tech wage earners coming decade.
mircea_popescu: dumbestthing a kid with college debt could possibly do today is put a downpayment on anything based on his salary / some loan.
BingoBoingo: The "tech set" needs to rent, cut expenses, and get ready to go to cheaper country
thestringpuller: I had a coworker who bought a car, and is still underwater on the loan. It's like "really"?
mircea_popescu: exactly the things they ridiculously do not wish to do.
decimation: I wonder how many under-35s in the us actually have a positive net worth?
BingoBoingo: It's like how kakobrekla responsibly got a car while goat got an infinite money sink
mircea_popescu: i doubt anyone whosoever has positive net worth in the us if the stock market goes to its natural level and the bonds turn to the dust they are.
mircea_popescu: if it's invested in... i dunno, nubile 19 yo slavegirls which you sell for meat
mircea_popescu: the people buying them still are invested in the stock market.
decimation: yeah, try buying some land and using it for something
BingoBoingo: Probably more people working fast food with positive net worths than in Silicon Valley
mircea_popescu: "if you bought this plot of land you didn't buy this plot of land"
decimation: you will find generally at least 3 layers of usg will tell you what you can do on 'your' land
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: They are the mafia if Fredo was given reigns over the family
decimation: it's pretty common in most lefty urban areas of the us to pay >2% per year in 'property tax'
decimation: at least in london you can 'lease' an estate from the crown for 1000 years, not 50
badon: hi thestringpuller
BingoBoingo: Farmland in the US is less bullshit for owners since they usually lease it.
decimation: BingoBoingo: and of course the farmers are paid by usg to farm or not
badon: "bought the farm" is an idiom for death in the USA.
badon: There is no such thing as private land ownership in jurisdictions that tax ownership of land.
BingoBoingo: I haven't heard it and I'm in the US surrounded by farms
badon: BingoBoingo: Haven't heard of what?
BingoBoingo: "bought the farm" I mean maybe I've heard it, but it isn't too common
decimation: yeah "bought the farm" is generally an aviation expression
decimation: my understanding is that the price of agricultural land has been rising due to the influx of wall st. money
badon: "bought the farm" became a euphemism for death after farmland seizures by the government and banks during the USA's Great Depression. The seizures led to food price increases and starvation. When the government tried to undo the damage they caused by reselling the farms, no one wanted to buy them.
badon: So, the government started doing other things to encourage farmers to farm without making them fear losing their livelihood if they have a bad crop or experience a depression.
badon: That's important USA history that is not in USA history books.

thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: is this why there were options appended with T and N
mircea_popescu: basically, we're cheating by using a singlke name for different instruments.
davout: because the way i see it, it could perfectly make sense to say "if you want delivery, email me before cutoff minus 24h, push the asset, email receipt, and you get delivered on the settlement date"
mircea_popescu: anyway, you'll get the new set later today, nottin' to get too excited about.
davout: i could understand the "it's actually two different assets" point if at some point you had to sell the old one and buy the new one
davout: if one automatically turns into the other one at some point they sure look like the same to me
mircea_popescu: this arguing by simple restatement of one's position is uninteresting.
davout: i guess that what i'm trying to clear up is the question: "why do you want to distinguish them?"
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 13750 @ 0.00061138 = 8.4065 BTC [+] {2}
davout: well, just because two dollar bills have a different serial number doesn't make it very useful to distinguish them, likewise it does not seem very useful to me to want to distinguish between these, maybe it's just me but i don't see what problem this solves
mircea_popescu: but these aren't two dollar bills. one is a dollar bill of your paycheck today. the other is a dollar bill of your paycheck next month. they aren't fungible.
davout: absolutely, but at any point of time there can't be only a single contract type trading, unlike what i understand from the usual future contracts where at some point both contracts are trading simultaneously
mircea_popescu: yeah well, the time granularity here is closer to the day than to the second
davout: from what i understand, it's usually the case that the N and N+1 contracts trade simultaneously during a few days at least

ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> the way this guy cuts down on all the dumb idlers that imagine whatever, b-a is just another channel, can autopilot in is so fucking great srlsy. << too strong of a noob filter imho. more spport for the casuals!
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes if they're actively trying to stick, they can triviallydo so.
mircea_popescu: if they just wantr to idle in 500 "bitcoin related" channels fuck them.

davout: asset transfers will happen when MPEx gets back
davout: which is apparently now
kakobrekla: recording now, unable to access the box for the while
ben_vulpes: ask punkman. nominally some progress was to be made this weekend.
mats: don't worry BingoBoingo, trainers will lower requirements so the chihuahuas can graduate
mats: its already been done for chihuahuas going through Airborne and Air Assault school
mats: but, hey, israel allows chihuahuas to serve in their infantry units!!!
BingoBoingo: Depends on the size of the payload the tank demands
mats: heart dun mean shit when you've got to march 20mi in a 30 pound iotv, with a 45 pound pack, and 15 pounds of weapon and magazine
cazalla: i am happy to report Australia is safe once again, apparently mr i forgot my isis flag guy fell asleep, hostages ran out and woke him, he started blasting and cops 360 no scoped him
adlai: mother should i trust the government
kakobrekla: ok so assbot will now warn you bout ddos only if you have a dot in you host
thestringpuller: "We choose to bitcoin company in the bitcoin way" - some derp CEO of some coinderp company. These quotes are getting ridiculous.
BingoBoingo: I liked assbot PM though. Made it easy to say !up while typing less
BingoBoingo: Well, maybe if host doesn't have a dot assbot can greet people with joke?
mats: would you make it three dots?
jurov: argh, every github hipster now wires travis ci to their project
jurov: btw, i was invited to coinmate.io

We have reconfigured our servers for full protection by one of the world's best DDOS protection providers, so there will not be any downtime in the future. Our service has now world-class security.
jurov: already i got into argument with these coinmates.. since their czech ass is close to eurozone and they offer sepa/czk
jurov: so i asked them about the calculator instead of just saying go to xe.com
jurov: "nooo that would be difficult"
jurov: and "but most of our customers are muricans"
jurov: i was like wtf how they imagine offering usd coupon codes to muricans when everyone else was forced to stop doing it
jurov: co.inmates, indeed
BingoBoingo: What the fuck. "I am near you would like to be customer" "Fuck you, our customers are Americans so we can scam them with impunity"
jborkl: heh, too hard to scrape exchange rate and divide by BTC
jurov: slight correction: they don't open accounts for USians they only said to me "our customers use usd" .. i just misextrapolated
mats: nah a cloak won't take precedence over the irccloud one
mats: freenode staff disagrees
mats: i almost started a fire just now bc some extension cable started melting when i hooked up a space heater
mats: wouldn't have noticed if i hadn't went to poop
BingoBoingo: mats: You are now qualified to operate BTC mine
mats: im getting high on plastic fumes
jurov: (it's our incumbent railways reaction to competition)
adlai: mpex web-side totally fucked eh
jurov: i remember we talked with mircea about more direct access, he was like "nah, not needed anymore, we have it covered"
kakobrekla: mats it seem they are right this time. dik, get a real client or smth.
adlai: good thing the chart scraper was turned off, it would've captured a cartload of horseshit
mircea_popescu: anyway, dumbass proxies desynced and started running around topless in the dc.
jurov: mircea_popescu: photos or gtfo

mircea_popescu: "apparently mr i forgot my isis flag guy fell asleep" << ahahaha epic
mircea_popescu: "i was gonna do thinks with my gun... but then i got tired... then i got tired... and fell asleep"
BingoBoingo: I really think it is irresponsible the dude didn't bring some serious stimulants with him. I mean the police get to have shift changes.
adlai tries with convert, let's see how bad the RAMrape gets
adlai: fuck, gif is 3mb and counting
adlai: why does convert need 5G ram to build a 4M file. somebody didn't read knuth?
BingoBoingo: adlai: Everyone talks about Knuth, but no one reads Knuth.
undata: mircea_popescu: there's "ionice" which might help those cases
undata: not that I dispute ubuntu being a steaming pile
