mircea_popescu: Dratel instead said that Ulbricht only ran Silk Road for “a few months” after he created it. Finding it “too stressful,” Ulbricht reportedly handed the website’s reins over to others. As a result, the defense argues that the government is prosecuting the wrong individual for building up a $1.2 billion black market, since Ulbricht is not Dread Pirate Roberts.
mircea_popescu: Back in 2013, a separate individual claiming to be Dread Pirate Roberts stated that he/she “didn’t start the Silk Road, my predecessor did.”

Carson blandly declined to give a room rent-free, or let one to the government on credit.

cazalla: like brock pierece eh, poor cunt ended up at the bitcoin foundation
mircea_popescu: cazalla while the actual domme is rare (most have a guy they sub to, publicly admitted or not) i dun imagine this is a very productive scamping model.
cazalla: yeah, always fancied myself a ripley but never found one, always turned out to be a burke who need instructions
mircea_popescu: (and amusingly enough, girls do a lot better at it than boys, for some reason).
mircea_popescu: cazalla there's actually a lot of demand for real/natural domme. which is part of what makes me chuckle at all the "oh, women are oppressed majority" talk.
mircea_popescu: you know it's all whalegab. i've yet to see a driven woman have trouble.

cazalla: my 77', while useless in bed, is not as useless as a post 90's one
mircea_popescu: jurov: idk, have it on your knees or such << there can be too much of a good thing. overhandled children develop something that looks quite like autism.
mircea_popescu: like a grand old wine cask. once the thin surface of stupid's breached, it flows.
mircea_popescu: i meant it metaphorically... but i guess cane & freshly cut ginger's not the worst way to do it.
cazalla: i can't imagine anything worse than tears, whinging and crying over that
mircea_popescu: course, not the thing to get into halfheartedly. definitely not.
jurov: i suppose it's different between parents rocking the children all the way to coma and just keeping them near
cazalla: jurov, he's always near, we're both always home, just the idea of holding him to sleep is far and beyond what he needs
mircea_popescu: jurov yeah, back in romania i had a pedo friend (kiddie doctor = pediatru in romanian, so obviously that's the joke) who mostly did mental health
cazalla: the sooner he can self instruct, play in the sandpit and fall out of the trees, the better
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: half the time he'd have to make the parents interact with the kid at least minimally,
mircea_popescu: he other half, stop therm from interacting over maximally.
mircea_popescu: "you've not held him this month ?! of course it cries. please do."
mircea_popescu: "child's not been out of your arms since tues last ? please, set it down and leave the room."
mircea_popescu: not clear why you'd need a guy spend 7 years in medical school to do basically old woman advice work, but hey, what sacrifice ain't worth it to get to live "in town".

cazalla: but all in one day, spiffy 3d printing type machine for the crown too, was pretty sweet how it cut away the block and made the crown fit perfect
mircea_popescu: problem with not so greatly fittign crowns being they can't cut the crown so usually have to cut the opposing teeth. not so great.
cazalla: well my old man tried to convince me to go to his dentist instead of the one i go to, root canal plus crown would've been 3 visits, cheaper overall but still who knows
cazalla: talking him up like he was whatley or something
cazalla: wow, you really don't know your seinfeld afterall
TomServo: George also takes a pencil to the party because he thinks there will be a lot of dentists there and he wants to ask if they can compare the teeth marks on a pencil he found in the Jon Voight car to see if he really was the previous owner.
cazalla: can i pick your brain for a moment on this sub/domme stuff on account that i am quite drunk?
cazalla: it's not gay or anything is it lol
mircea_popescu: TomServo that's the one where kramer got bit while molesting the real jon voight
mircea_popescu: but yes historically male gay pretty much meant leather which pretty much meant d/s stuff.
cazalla: TomServo, just driving around in john voight's car!
cazalla: so how do you actually find a domme woman who is legitimate and not just after money
cazalla: because that is what i am suspect of all of them
thestringpuller: seems like there is sub/domme in every sexual relationship.
mircea_popescu: you find the holy grail first. inside it, you tear aside the shrowd of turin
cazalla: now it might soun bizarre coming from me but my first sexual experience was with a woman who in hindsight, was a natural
ben_vulpes: how are we all in #bitcoin-pricetalk today?
cazalla: i've looked but she seems to have disappear after all these years
ben_vulpes: lol cazalla can spot a natural domme on his first go?
cazalla: ben_vulpes, she slapped me about in front of friends.. keep in mind, only 13 at the time, she had no shame at all and clearly was sexually exciting for her
cazalla: and she did this to others too mind you
cazalla: thestringpuller, well you know, what ya gonna do, actually do atheletics and swim at the atheletics and swimming carnival? i think not
mircea_popescu: adolescents principally fuck at any sporty thing. of course. an' why not.
cazalla: thestringpuller is a softie i hear
ben_vulpes: dog and babe both respond well to arched eyebrows, very little by way of slappings necessary :D
thestringpuller: cazalla: I also want to make sure future wife doesn't sell out all my secrets for quick buck.
cazalla: thestringpuller, you can avoid that by not telling her shit
thestringpuller: Wives who keep husbands secrets to the grave are honorable creatures in my book.
mircea_popescu: cazalla yeah dude, totally, she does eight lines with you and your gangsta friends in a stolen truck mid bankrobbery
cazalla: mine bakes cakes, does lamp working and cricut
cazalla: wouldn't even know what a line is lol
ben_vulpes: real ride-or-die bitches is hard to come by.
mircea_popescu: i have one of those. i also have one that shoots people in the face. variety is always best!
cazalla: i knew a guy who thought he had one of those types of women.. they actually did a rob a bank and you know who gave them all up?
cazalla: i have nfi, i knew him through a now dead cousin
mircea_popescu: would be pretty cool that, "so how did you turn gay ?" "i had a woman, thought she was real, we hit a bank, she sold us out. no more for me."
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: this "no coins available at any price thing" is looking more and more realistic
cazalla: knew as in barely knew but go around telling people i knew at that age bcuz cool
thestringpuller: cazalla: you roll around with ghetto bastards with biscuits?
cazalla: thestringpuller, i'm from the sticks and i told you before i was australia's biggest dealer of celeron 300A's

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes im sure they're fine. it's not like it's some sort of magical art. eight steps.
mircea_popescu: "Meantime the camp was filling up with people, and there was a constantly growing excitement about our Humboldt mines. We fell victims to the epidemic and strained every nerve to acquire more "feet." We prospected and took up new claims, put "notices" on them and gave them grandiloquent names. We traded some of our "feet" for "feet" in other people's claims. In a little while we owned largely in the "Gray Eagle," the "
mircea_popescu: Columbiana," the "Branch Mint," the "Maria Jane," the "Universe," the "Root-Hog-or- Die," the "Samson and Delilah," the "Treasure Trove," the "Golconda," the "Sultana," the "Boomerang," the "Great Republic," the "Grand Mogul," and fifty other "mines" that had never been molested by a shovel or scratched with a pick. We had not less than thirty thousand "feet" apiece in the "richest mines on earth" as the frenzied cant
mircea_popescu: phrased it—and were in debt to the butcher. We were stark mad with excitement—drunk with happiness—smothered under mountains of prospective wealth—arrogantly compassionate toward the plodding millions who knew not our marvellous canyon—but our credit was not good at the grocer's."
mircea_popescu: "It was the strangest phase of life one can imagine. It was a beggars' revel. There was nothing doing in the district—no mining—no milling—no productive effort—no income—and not enough money in the entire camp to buy a corner lot in an eastern village, hardly; and yet a stranger would have supposed he was walking among bloated millionaires. Prospecting parties swarmed out of town with the first flush of dawn,
mircea_popescu: and swarmed in again at nightfall laden with spoil—rocks. Nothing but rocks. Every man's pockets were full of them; the floor of his cabin was littered with them; they were disposed in labeled rows on his shelves."
mircea_popescu: "frenzied cant" is particularly apt. if only these people living in the mid 1800s had had reddit to revolutionize their thing for them
mircea_popescu: "I met men at every turn who owned from one thousand to thirty thousand "feet" in undeveloped silver mines, every single foot of which they believed would shortly be worth from fifty to a thousand dollars—and as often as any other way they were men who had not twenty-five dollars in the world. Every man you met had his new mine to boast of, and his "specimens" ready; and if the opportunity offered, he would infallibl
mircea_popescu: y back you into a corner and offer as a favor to you, not to him, to part with just a few feet in the "Golden Age," or the "Sarah Jane," or some other unknown stack of croppings, for money enough to get a "square meal" with, as the phrase went. And you were never to reveal that he had made you the offer at such a ruinous price, for it was only out of friendship for you that he was willing to make the sacrifice."

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes exactly. one is supposed to be using gpg instead of 2fa. not a matter of money. a matter of not bering the retarded son of a stupid mother.
mircea_popescu: wonder how the system's not leaking a trillion a year.
TheNewDeal: Hsa is like the godsend in the era of abominable obamacare
TheNewDeal: I can put income in pretax, and invest it
mircea_popescu: i still can't grok why the man'd have put his name on it.
mircea_popescu: pretty much sure ticket to being remembered forever as "that black president that killed babies and old people"
TheNewDeal: Hopefully people will say bad things about him too
ben_vulpes: and you only get to spend it on health shit
TheNewDeal: Regardless. Im a beggar and not a chooser when it comes to favorable tax incentives
Alrenous: mircea_popescu: seems like another case of democracy rewarding the sacrifice of the long term to the short. Odds are his handlers made the call anyway, not him personally.
TheNewDeal: Hsa is the only long term option. You save your own money, you spend it
mircea_popescu: Alrenous riddle me this : what exactly compels a president to honor "his handlers" ?
TheNewDeal: All others are short term socialist constructs
Alrenous: mircea_popescu: Your guess is as good as mine.
ben_vulpes: TheNewDeal: since you can only deduct medical expenses over 10% of your income i think it makes more sense to just burn the hsa down each year
mircea_popescu: it's safer to burn any dollar-denominated anything each year if you get the chance.
ben_vulpes: my notion of the thing is predicated on the stock market not really keeping up with inflation, and wanting to get the most "oomph" out of my health dollars.
mircea_popescu: nominally, the dollar was 1 peso 15 years ago, and now it's 14. however, the services that were ten pesos then are two hundred now.
TheNewDeal: I had a very expensive hospital visit the other year and was glad to have saved up
ben_vulpes: sure if you don't have the need for services, save it. i get that.
ben_vulpes: i expect to be racking up 10s of thousands if not hundreds over the next 5 years tho.

ben_vulpes: for instance, i've got a client who (for some silly reasons) basically needs to throw out their Solr index on a daily basis. the approach to date has been to drop the index at a low-traffic time, rebuild, and hope nobody notices. with docker, we can boot a new container, index into it, and then when the indexing is complete, shut the old solr container down and boot the new solr container.
