BingoBoingo: In miscelanous reflections that ought to have made yesterday's log except for brain lag, on the small regional flight economy plus was totally worth it. Window, your seat, aisle, pair of suckers.
diana_coman: BingoBoingo, in Europe at least the "difference" between economy and business class on small regional flights is quite often a... curtain drawn to separate the 2 areas of the aircraft, but not much else (same seats, same space/lack of it, same food if you really need airplane-food on a 2-3 hours flight)
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: There was no business class on the embraer 145, just "ecomomy" on the two seat side of the aisle and "economy plus" on the solo seat side
BingoBoingo: The embraer during take off had a feel like my saturn plastic car, that there just might not be enough power to pull off this aviation thing

mircea_popescu: the lazy stupid poor "people themselves" banded together to produce a joint report as to how worthless they think everything about them is, in bitcoin terms.
mircea_popescu: they call it "bitcoin price", except it's obviously the dollar price.
mircea_popescu: that's all it is : how little the poor think their shit's worth.
mircea_popescu: "exchange rate" dun enter into this. think of it as a petition on change.org signed by everyone in the herd.

mircea_popescu: about 5 passes of this "it has nothing to do with bitcoin" and it still didn't take or what are we doing here ?
mircea_popescu: IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BITCOIN. the "bitcoin price" is a statement of the worthless herd as to its own perceived worthlessness. bitcoin dun enter into it.
mircea_popescu: when some schmuck writes on his employment application "salary sought - $50", this is not a statement on the value of the dollar.

mircea_popescu: all you can get is the whole world, and it costs ever less btc, seeing how the "rate" has to also account for everyone's dreams.

diana_coman: is there some documented process re how to create with V basically a new project that will contain as *internal* components derivations of existing projects? for example: eucrypt will have inside an mpi component; as seen earlier, I can patch mpi directly, but then how do I include the result in a higher structure? can I even do it while preserving the links?

mircea_popescu: it's not altogether clear with me if this discussion unearthed a fundamental bug in v design whereby we have no good way to import projects.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck exactly can't i move project/a to master/project/a through a patch ?
mircea_popescu: so then why can't she simply move the mpi/ dir into eucrypt/mpi/ and proceed ?

mircea_popescu: hey. they did want to count mine when i landed. i... didn't cooperate (but i did let them watch while i did, so there was that)
mircea_popescu: but anyway, part of gangster notion is that conspicuous is other people's problem.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the us is pretty ridiculous. upscale dinner for two can readily run you a grand or two, yet none of the walkers have that much on them.
mircea_popescu: most starred restaurants are a few hundy to maybe a grand a plate.
mircea_popescu: i get it, you don't powerlunch there every day. but if you run into a gal that takes your breath away... wouldn't it be the proper time ?
mircea_popescu: im not even sure how they run it stateside anymoar, for lack of much caring.
mircea_popescu: that's not the problem ; the problem (esp in the "western" world ) is that it'll still be sysco.
mircea_popescu: someone should actually make a strippers-and-roman-banquet airline.
mircea_popescu: .7 attendants per passenger, "no means yes, of course" as company policy, and they feed you grapes manually.
mircea_popescu: sell the tickets for 10k or w/e, it'll be more than the strippers make anyway.
mircea_popescu: bout 10% of the 3bn male population would save to go just to be able to say "Went"
mircea_popescu: talk about "efficient market hypothesis". this is A LOT more in demand than pink ipad covers, for instance. "oh but mp, pink ipad covers aren't illegal!" o ya ? ALSO more in demand than cocaine.
mircea_popescu: nobody does a line for any other reason than to THINK they're there. so make it a reality, more margin that way.
mircea_popescu: well, "last set". i'm not talking collector cunt here.
mircea_popescu: i don't expect the hyphenating kind would put the husband first.
mircea_popescu: she married some idiotic lawyer turned lobbyist by the name piper
