asciilifeform: for moneys. [00:00]
mircea_popescu: otherwise what, we'll be stuck in 2020 dealing with legacy yahoos ? noty. [00:00]
phf: a festival/burning man equivalent would be one of those "solar shower" bags [00:00]
asciilifeform: am i in parallel world where trade didnt happen [00:00]
mircea_popescu: anyone want to share his bbq marinade recipe ? [00:02]
phf: asciilifeform: koi8-r author died, http://www.opennet.ru/opennews/art.shtml?num=47037 [00:15]
asciilifeform: phf: koi8 жил, жив, и будет жить !1!!! [00:19]
phf: he was also one of the freebsd core developers, worked on the original USSR<->world isp, etc. i've seen him couple of times, though never spoke. he was friends with the guy who taught me how to computer, so periodically would show up to moscow state [00:20]
asciilifeform: seems like d00d quietly naggumed in his bed for some yrs before died, neh [00:21]
phf: yeah, that's what it looks like :o [00:22]
asciilifeform: ( consider, freebsd became clangalicious and rngless a while back ) [00:22]
asciilifeform: freebsd circa 2002 or so is still near top of my list for 'what if salvage a unix' [00:23]
asciilifeform: ( that was asciilifeform's last 'happy' bsd install ) [00:24]
asciilifeform: 4.7 was ~snappy~ on libretto110 [00:24]
asciilifeform: what can i get today, that is... [00:24]
phf: i wasn't a rich imperialist at the time, but freebsd was quite pleasant on a 300mhz amd, i used it as main os for a long time, until, yeah, 2002 or so. this is also when i switched to mac os x, which was perhaps a mistake. i suspect these people made their own deals with devil [00:26]
asciilifeform: asciilifeform made it to '07 [00:26]
asciilifeform: after that - gentoo [00:26]
asciilifeform: i also remember getting hold of a crapple, and naively thinking 'hey, something like sun' [00:27]
phf: i wouldn't be surprised if Chernov likewise welcomed clang (not gnu!!) and all other kinds of own hole digging, until the overwhelming suckage SUDDENLY manifested in everything [00:28]
phf: like Sun itself, apple was perhaps also like Sun for a very brief period, until it wasn't. [00:29]
asciilifeform: for the brief time when it was still competing with sun, hp, zombie of sgi [00:31]
asciilifeform: ( for commercialunix users ) [00:31]
asciilifeform: no moar than couplea yrs of stevej [00:32]
asciilifeform: after that - monopoly, full bore microshitism [00:32]
mike_c: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/T5q4F/?raw=true [00:34]
asciilifeform: re freebsd -- it was almost a dream, i dum recall even once having the now-daily 'this was made by tards, and they Must Die' feel from it [00:34]
mike_c: save that to a file called 'whatever.py' [00:34]
mike_c: and run it with 'python whatever.py /path/to/hands/directory/' [00:34]
mike_c: !!later tell Birdman ^ [00:34]
ben_vulpes: btw wb mike_c [00:34]
mike_c: hi ben! [00:34]
mircea_popescu: it's n ice to have him back isn't it. [00:35]
asciilifeform: aha! [00:35]
mike_c: !~later tell Birdman ^ [00:35]
jhvh1: mike_c: The operation succeeded. [00:35]
mircea_popescu: mike_c bots.contravex.com btw [00:35]
* ben_vulpes was just recalling the c3 memory fragging arguments [00:35]
ben_vulpes: mike_c's horrified refusal to believe that shit could be so bad [00:35]
mircea_popescu: mike_c what's tmsr look like from the vantage of 18 months ? [00:35]
mike_c: some things are good. client is running, bots are working, goats are being shipped. [00:36]
mike_c: like in all progress, I wish faster. [00:36]
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: aha! i esp. liked how mike_c didn't hesitate to tell me 'yer wrong: rather, here's different hypothesis' [00:36]
mike_c: but hey, wish in one hand and do some work in the other [00:36]
* mircea_popescu just got through making goat buttermilkj marinade for cow tongue for girl's barbecue tues. pray for me that it works, because a) they never had cow tongue and b) they never saw diary marinade and generally c) pretty suspicious side glances all around. [00:37]
ben_vulpes: i swear by yogurt marinades for chickens [00:38]
mircea_popescu: ikr ? [00:39]
phf: i can't even think about food, we had guests.. [00:39]
mircea_popescu: what happened ? [00:39]
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes good jew, doesn't marinade cow in milk... [00:39]
ben_vulpes: lol hey i don't marinade cow much in anything [00:40]
ben_vulpes: my sins against the torah are myriad [00:40]
asciilifeform: 'do not cook a chix in her mother's milk' (tm)(r)(maimonides) or how did it go. [00:40]
mircea_popescu: aha. [00:40]
phf: i ate too much [00:40]
mircea_popescu: why do you eat your guests phf, that's not respectable or civilised. [00:41]
phf: but i can't brag, because in the upside down tmsr world, i now find having one girl cooking the whole meal a form of cruel and unusual punishment. [00:41]
mircea_popescu: why ?! [00:41]
phf: 3 courses, custom desert, own bread, etc. seems like ~a lot~ of work [00:42]
mircea_popescu: it's only gruel if all she gets is bitch kibbles from a doggy dish under the table! [00:42]
mircea_popescu: cruel* [00:42]
phf: ok that's fair [00:42]
mircea_popescu: tell her i said that, too, that way i'll know why lanky russian chick i never met is throwing knives at me in social setting later on. [00:43]
ben_vulpes: was this like an entire days worth of prep that guestbae could not assist with? [00:44]
mircea_popescu: he dun have guestbae, he's like from the east. [00:44]
phf: what's a guestbae? :o [00:44]
mircea_popescu: phf aka soubrette in french. girl who eats out your main bitch. [00:45]
asciilifeform: aa subpet [00:45]
mircea_popescu: WHETHER SHE LIKES IT OR NOT [00:45]
ben_vulpes: lol nothing so so. one of the sheguests [00:45]
phf: ah, yes, we need one of those. i didn't realize they had them in portland [00:46]
ben_vulpes: you don't want what we have. [00:46]
mircea_popescu: phf me either, but he keeps pretending as if, so what's it cost to believe. [00:46]
ben_vulpes: i've none such! [00:46]
ben_vulpes: slander and libel [00:46]
mircea_popescu: i thought you said! [00:46]
ben_vulpes: "you sir, are drunk." [00:47]
mircea_popescu: im not drunk, im alternately alcoholised. [00:47]
ben_vulpes: and in the morning i will still be a married man [00:47]
mircea_popescu: but let us drive the inquiry. why won't we want what you have ? [00:48]
ben_vulpes: all me to clarify that by we i mean "here", miserable socialist hellhole of the pnw [00:50]
ben_vulpes: and the "what" that "we" have is, well, you know the haircut that screams "everything offends my delicate intersectional sensibilities" from a block away? [00:51]
Birdman: mike_c thanks very much! one last question though as im pretty illiterate: i downloaded python for winbl0wz, i save that text in the paste to a text file with name, i run python get the command line, what would i type from there specifically? also do i need to unzip files to run it on? [00:51]
ben_vulpes: that is what we have and that is what nobody wants. [00:51]
ben_vulpes: which reminds me, i was in $bezzlecorp's offices the other week and found these hysterical signs in the degendered bathrooms reminding folks to put the seats down. [00:52]
mircea_popescu: motherfucker. [00:52]
mircea_popescu: how fucking dare they. $100 fine + day docked for chick that fails TO PUT SEAT BACK UP. [00:52]
mircea_popescu: it's a man's world, you're just visiting, okay ? [00:53]
ben_vulpes: not here, buddy. [00:53]
ben_vulpes: pantsuit central [00:53]
mircea_popescu: you're right, nobody wants what you got. [00:53]
* ben_vulpes rests case [00:53]
ben_vulpes: but hey, the strawberries and cherries are great [00:53]
mircea_popescu: no, they are not. i just got maraschino cherries in a bag! [00:54]
phf: what i don't get is why neither party put BOTH SIT AND COVER down, which is sort of the whole purpose of the contraption. [00:54]
mircea_popescu: phf cover down means "i ate beans, bitch" [00:54]
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: only maraschino cherries i know come bleached of nature and re-filled with corn syrup and dye [00:55]
ben_vulpes: the rainiers are to die for though [00:55]
mircea_popescu: these come from germany (o.O) [00:55]
ben_vulpes: i had no idea cherries travel well [00:56]
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes you can't beat ro/argentine cherries. for one thing, a gallon is like 8 bux. for the other thing, that gallon is like 5% pits. [00:56]
ben_vulpes: i was impressed with what little i saw of argentine food that the argentines didn't have the opportunity to screw up [00:56]
mircea_popescu: myeah. [00:57]
ben_vulpes: cherries, eggs, steak [00:57]
ben_vulpes: i don't know shit about horseflesh but they were nice too [00:57]
ben_vulpes: anything from not-city, i'd hazard [00:57]
mircea_popescu: crazy thing from c1 (or 2 ? i forget ?) xapo dude was on the way to lavish mp picked restaurant, stops on street to buy who the fuck knows what inedible fast food "because hungry". [00:57]
mircea_popescu: argentines are broken in the head. [00:58]
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : girl turned her ankle, i had her slathered in mustard. girl now enticingly like bacon. [01:00]

asciilifeform: asciilifeform was at 2, and never met sc4md00d [01:05]
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes best thing for it, what wat. [01:06]

ben_vulpes: i had no idea [01:07]
mircea_popescu: it's either that or lead acetate. which of course you can't buy (anymore) [01:08]
asciilifeform: lol medicinal pb [01:09]
mircea_popescu: "sugar of lead" [01:09]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform tru fax. best thing for sprains. [01:09]
asciilifeform: does mircea_popescu have antimony cup in his med chest also [01:09]
mircea_popescu: fu hater of my encyclopedic medical knowledges. [01:09]
asciilifeform: ( phunphakt -- poorer folx had antimony ~pill~ instead. reusable! ) [01:09]
Birdman: mike_c on windows i think i needed to save it as a '.pyc' which makes it a compiled python file, though it says 'runtimeerror: bad magic number in .pyc file' [01:10]
mike_c: Birdman - yes, unzip the files to some directory. Say it's "c:\hands" [01:10]
mike_c: then from the command line, run "python file_you_made.py c:\hands" [01:10]
mike_c: save it as .py [01:10]
mike_c: python compiles it when you run it and makes a .pyc [01:10]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in point of fact you could buy lead acetate pills ("apa de plumb") in ro as of 1980s. [01:14]
mike_c: I'm off for the night. but above instructions should get you running it. [01:15]

Birdman: !~later tell mike_c im getting a sintaxerror: incorrect syntax on line 26 [01:18]
jhvh1: Birdman: The operation succeeded. [01:18]
Birdman: the incorrect syntax apparently being the second quotation mark here print "{0}, {1}, {2}". [01:19]
Birdman: print "{0}, {1}, {2}".format(filename, active_hand, player) [01:20]
mircea_popescu: anyway, to make this matter plain as i suspect it has ample potential for misunderstanding : [01:30]
mircea_popescu: there are two classes of indisputable facts. one is that yes, lead acetate is effectual against sprains. the other is that yes, lead in any form is toxic. [01:30]
mircea_popescu: now, the fact is that lead is also legally unavailable today. this is not necessarily sorosconspiraci : orcs with very low passive environmental exposure may very well afford a little bit of lead sugar now and again for a sprain. nevertheles, "civilised" ie overexposed pantsuits can nor afford such a thing. [01:32]
ben_vulpes: Birdman: i don't see the problem: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/kpaOM/?raw=true [01:32]
mircea_popescu: for them, any bit of lead is toxic, because thye are already overwhelmend by lead-rich environment. and so for them, it doesn't make sense to use lead acetate for sprains, because the costs exceed the benefits. [01:32]
mircea_popescu: this doesn't mean the benefits aren't present nor does it mean their costs are universal costs. it's just what it is. [01:33]
mircea_popescu: and no, obama didn't do this. the problem was already manifest two centuries ago, in the sense that it's entirely possible beethoven went deaf (a major early symptom of saturnism) due to drinking wines sweetened with the stuff. which was already illegal back then, but then he was a miser.

ben_vulpes: i recall some quality lolz around "poor american blax are violent because their pipes are lead and this inhibits impulse control and intelligence generally" [01:34]
mircea_popescu: so no, i'm not advocating anyone put lead acetate on his sprain. nro am i implying some sort of evil conspiracy is keeping the good people from the good cures. [01:34]
mircea_popescu: they're not good cures for them. they used to be, good cures, for other peoples, which they are not. that's it. [01:34]
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes that's reallly forcing a point. pipes were lead throughout pipe history, all the romans ever used. [01:35]
mircea_popescu: anyway : mustard has nothing to do wirth all this, still very effective. [01:35]
ben_vulpes: what's the mustard mechanism? [01:35]
mircea_popescu: and the fact remains, official usg.medicine has no TREATMENT for sprains, outside of imobilizatiopn and tramadol. which is not treatment. [01:35]
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes it's never been explained. you know, like paracetamol. [01:36]
Birdman: ben_vulpes i dont understand, thats just the error im getting [01:36]
mircea_popescu: (fun fact : nobody has a working model of how america's most commonly prescribed drug (tylenol) actually works. it's been around since nazis invented it. but...) [01:36]
ben_vulpes: Birdman: well you said it had something to do with the second quote, which didn't make any sense [01:36]
Birdman: oh i assumed that was the case beacause in the command line it points to that second quote with a ^ [01:37]
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: hey on the other hand, i did learn the 'nursemaids elbow' fix the other day [01:39]
mircea_popescu: oh ? [01:39]

mircea_popescu: (i could have sworn ~~~I~~~!!! used that story first. alf stealing all my good old country folk stuff!) [01:40]
ben_vulpes: romping around with kiddo, felt a *click* in his wrist, rapidly sad child who didn't want to use his left arm [01:42]
mircea_popescu: o nm, it's the elbow luxation in children. i misinterpreted teh words! [01:42]
ben_vulpes: myeah, that [01:43]
mircea_popescu: so what did you do ? [01:43]
ben_vulpes: i went to the doc, doc showed me the various manipulations to effect [01:44]
mircea_popescu: aha [01:44]
ben_vulpes: it's a pulling/twisting set of motions [01:44]
mircea_popescu: like most common pediatric presentation in functional family units, or something like that. [01:44]
ben_vulpes: "just look it up on youtube if this happens again" [01:44]
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes if you're going to throw kid around , grab above elbow. [01:44]
* ben_vulpes has obviously been watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IkPPlF-yaE too much [01:48]
mircea_popescu: lmao! [01:49]
mircea_popescu: wtf nonsense bs is this [01:49]
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes anyway, dun let hosptial visit dissuade. kid is made to be thrown around up to the limit of physical resistance / crying. it's good for it. [01:50]
ben_vulpes: aya [01:50]
ben_vulpes: monster dog has been excellent for toughening up the tyke [01:51]
mircea_popescu: o ya. [01:51]
ben_vulpes: took a skull to the face the other day. black eye and barely a whimper. [01:51]
mircea_popescu: dog is perfect for up to 10 or so. then can take it riding. [01:52]
ben_vulpes: now let me tell you about how delicate the personal-injury lawyer's kid up the street is... [01:52]
mircea_popescu: then after 16 can go fucking. [01:52]
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes brewing up the first white football mvp in like a decade eh ? [01:53]
ben_vulpes: hah as if [01:53]

mircea_popescu: beef > chicken shit. [01:56]
ben_vulpes: yes yes [01:56]
mircea_popescu: anywya. the proper name for what i mean is bistecca fiorentina. [01:57]
mircea_popescu: thick cut, very raw, maremmana cows. [01:57]
mircea_popescu: tuscany ftw. [01:57]
mircea_popescu: (t-bone is the same thing but thin and to the front) [01:59]
mircea_popescu: (maremmana is the etruscan word for an auroch) [02:02]
ben_vulpes: i would like to get a half cow next year. [02:04]
mircea_popescu: to keep where [02:05]
ben_vulpes: oh you know, boot of the car [02:05]
mircea_popescu: don't be silly. whoile cattle is for when your dozen women have their thirtieth child or such. [02:06]
ben_vulpes: the smallholders who raise them in the area inevitably surround the purchase with all sorts of hijinks. "you will come to the farm and we will introduce you to the herd you and the rest of the half and quarter-purchasers will have a rollicking good time with your and our children dancing and drinking around the fire until the wee hours. room in the barn for all, plus tents outside if that appeals." [02:06]
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i think horizontal freezer will hold a quarter of an animal [02:07]
mircea_popescu: but why would you want gray month old meat ? [02:07]
ben_vulpes: no es un pais pobre :( [02:09]
ben_vulpes: i am also curious to see how poorly the freeze treats the meat [02:09]
mircea_popescu: it's perfectly fine if half children's and if still poledancin' hos then girls' too calories come from meat. but this comes to what, 20-30k a week for a young woman with three children, ie about 6kgs ? that's a goat not a cow. [02:10]
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes you're more than welcome to find out on own, but freezer meat is for fridjof nansen's fram, not for people living at homr. [02:11]
mircea_popescu: home* [02:12]
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes look into steak aging i guess if you're decided to buy cow timeshares. [02:16]
mircea_popescu: if you must age it, better age deliberately than letting freezer burn do its worst. [02:17]
ben_vulpes: not particularly decided yet still curious [02:17]
mircea_popescu: only time i bought cows in that manner was when making them thief style for immediate consumption\ [02:17]
mircea_popescu: (the burried with coals thing) [02:17]
ben_vulpes: freezerburn's mitigatable tho innit? [02:18]
mircea_popescu: like syphilis. [02:19]
ben_vulpes: mitigable i mean [02:19]
ben_vulpes: lol what, beefcondom? [02:19]
mircea_popescu: more like, prayer., [02:20]
ben_vulpes: i'll vacuum pack it!!1! [02:22]
mircea_popescu: there's no way to make a dead hooker bounce as pleasantly as a live one. that said, vacuum pack away. [02:22]
mircea_popescu: there's certainly merit in helping the smallholders stay in business. [02:28]
mircea_popescu: also iirc there are places that'll jerky it for you. [02:29]

[09:09]
mircea_popescu: it's lead not strontium. anyway, lead is not found in diet outside of civilisation, and microgram does are experimentally safe. so : the first microgram of lead is free. [09:12]
asciilifeform: 'not yet detectable saturnism' dun mean 'harmless dose'. just as 'not yet acute radiation sickness' dun mean 'lower gamma does 0' [09:12]

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo the point is interesting. plants do indeed get cancers but because plant cells do not travel in the anima's body at all, plant cancers aren't terribly agressive (so wouldn't normally kill the plant). nevertheless, very valid point, can readily study impact of background radiation on cell division by inspecting the monoclonal grooves.

mircea_popescu: PeterL wd! [17:28]
mircea_popescu: PeterL the reason she stated primes as 6k+-1 is because 80% of numbers are divisible by 2 or 3, and it makes no sense to check them. [17:29]
mircea_popescu: but in any case, e's sieve was erathostenes' in my line. [17:29]
mircea_popescu: (the ancient original, cut out nth number, everfy 2nd from 2 every 3rd from 3 etc. euler's sieve is "take out a number, multiply the remainder of the list by that number, take out all the items in first list found also in second". which is faster yes, a generalisation of the 6k+-1 thing.) [17:31]
mircea_popescu: (euler actually came up with that doing the riemann zeta function product) [17:32]
mircea_popescu: anyway, there's a lot of work that went into this "program needs list of prime for initialization" thing back when people still actually put thought and work into computers. see wheel factorization etc if curious. [17:35]

PeterL: did you take a look at my reverse hash thing, does it all make sense? [17:49]

asciilifeform: *thinks [17:55]
mircea_popescu: kids who were perfectly fine leisure companions when you were 6 became intolerable drags when you were 10. [17:55]
mircea_popescu: because at age 6 the difference between you and average had unfolded to a term of x, whereas in a further four years it had unfolded to a further y, x ^ n as it may be. [17:56]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what the retard "thinks" is of no consequence in any way. [17:56]
asciilifeform: as i see it, saner tools lead to more http://trilema.com/2017/the-universal-plan-for-wealth - ing, and faster death for enemy [17:57]

mircea_popescu: but there's different bars to 1. hold bitcoin 2. productively employ bitcoin 3. productively work on bitcoin code 4. participate in tmsr. [17:57]
mircea_popescu: these are all different things. yes the mental bar for 1 should plateau eventually but this does not qualify the qualified to 2 or 3 or 4. [17:58]
asciilifeform: i dun see how anyone might think that it would [17:58]
mircea_popescu: whereas retard braions leak, because that's the definition of retard, and then mpoe-pr has to pen psas about "hey, retards, you being qualified for 1 and thinking you're qualified for 2 threatens the very fucking market" [17:59]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well, you might not see how anyone might think, but then again you'll be stuck explaining 2012 tardstalk. [17:59]
asciilifeform: as i see it, redditus buying ( or better, TUPW-ing ) some btc and then throwing his key into /dev/null, is ~also~ a productive-use-of-bitcoin [18:00]
asciilifeform: but not as productive as not-losing, because disincentivises repeat shots [18:00]
mircea_popescu: not ~ONLY~ everyone thought 1 means 2, but the same "everyone" thought i'm "arrogant" or w/e, "psychopath" for saying things like "you are not qualified" [18:00]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the retard does not ever do that. what the retard does is herd. [18:00]
mircea_popescu: it's basicalyl a blind seeking of hillaries, they herd as a behaviou searching the environment space for a pantsuit to "lead them" into welfare statism. [18:01]
mircea_popescu: so no, poor people not owing any money is not a problem. it is in fact the fundamental guarantee ~REQUIRED~ by any sound financial system, much like atmosphere is required for auricular function. [18:02]
asciilifeform: one of the fuels of welfarism is the 0 experience typical d00d has with money-that-dun-evaporate-by-itself [18:02]

mircea_popescu: but there is no education of the human race generally, nor any benefit in trying. [18:03]

asciilifeform: what's to go on ? i dun see how more wealth (regardless how and where distributed) being in inca-confiscateable form, vs. less, could be a win [18:22]
asciilifeform: let there be 0. [18:22]
mircea_popescu: you understand that "inca" is not a thing, yes ? [18:22]
asciilifeform: nope [18:22]
mircea_popescu: ah then that's the core of the dispute. [18:22]
mircea_popescu: let's consider the following lived experience : [18:22]
asciilifeform: inca is very much a thing -- same thing as the nazi guard who keeps 5000 penned in with schmeisser with just 100 rounds in it [18:23]
mircea_popescu: at time t (=9th grade) all girls in "community" found themselves in agreement sucking cock is gross. at time t' (=12 grade) all girls in "community" found themselves in agreement only peasant girls don't suck the cock. [18:23]
mircea_popescu: we shall here call the ideology at time t "inca" and at t' "tmsr". [18:23]
mircea_popescu: now. what exactly can inca "confiscate" and why ? [18:24]
asciilifeform: the gurlz are neither here nor there, may just as easily say that 'they were formerly in agreement to be 1.5metres tall, then agreed to be 1.8' [18:24]
mircea_popescu: aha! [18:24]
mircea_popescu: inca can't confiscate jack, lol. [18:25]
asciilifeform: tell that to the folx (e.g. the soldiers paid the iraq bonus, that was retro-cancelled recently) with the 0'd bank accts, marched from 'their' house under guard, etc [18:25]
mircea_popescu: i am telling! [18:26]
mircea_popescu: don't deal with inca, lol, it's all dust! [18:26]
asciilifeform: the gold bar that inca can't take off your corpse, is called btc [18:27]
mircea_popescu: your idea is very feminine, you know, "i met this crook, and he told me ia cu mustar mimisor ca face bine la ten and that he'll marry me. so i imagined myself practically married. and then he didn't marry me. so he confiscated my marriedness!" [18:27]
mircea_popescu: what is this, being blonde ? [18:27]
asciilifeform: i dun follow [18:28]
mircea_popescu: the whole "inca promise is liquidated when made and therefore when not kept it is confiscation not scamming" is pretty lulzy. [18:28]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nothing was confiscated because there was nothing THEY HAD! [18:28]
mircea_popescu: if i promise you a talking donkey and a cunt on your forehead in 2020, and you don't get them, this means i confiscated a talking donkey and a forehead cunt ? [18:29]
asciilifeform: describing usd as a 'unit of nothing' is a stretch [18:29]
asciilifeform: today it buys various. [18:30]
mircea_popescu: describing the masturbation of units of nothing as "buying something" is a stretch. [18:30]
asciilifeform: ( for historical reasons, but they will take a while to go away, reichsmarks circulated in the late '40s still ) [18:30]
mircea_popescu: and you know i'm right, because soviet distributed goods in the exact same manner, and ppl... didn't "pay" units of nothing for them. and this had no impact whatsoever. [18:31]
asciilifeform: goods not distributed in a lolmart ( e.g. fg factory run ) still denominated in usd. [18:32]
mircea_popescu: and you further know i'm right because you're welcome to "buy" the 3 ring binder they have, not the computer you want. [18:32]
asciilifeform: the cost of wanted-computer is still in usd. sadly. [18:32]
mircea_popescu: only cuz that's how you think. [18:32]
mircea_popescu: the little nigerian girl dreaming of a flying pony, barefoot under the banana tree may well be denominated in fucking pula for all it matters. [18:33]
asciilifeform: it is how the raw material suppliers think. i, working with hands, am not at liberty to get on the atomic dirigible of dreams and think entirely differently. [18:33]
mircea_popescu: it is very much not how they think, but it is how they speak. [18:33]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is welcome to convince'em that a btc is worth 100x the units it presently buys. i'll clap. [18:33]
mircea_popescu: mircea_popescu amusingly has. nsa made the worst deal in history by you know, buying parts and then trying to sell them as a result. [18:34]
mircea_popescu: iirc we bought them when dollar was 10x. [18:34]
asciilifeform: in this light, doing anything whatsoever other than 'hodling' is raw deal. [18:34]
asciilifeform: ( and btc would then live up to the reputation as strictly pyramidal cock-pulling adventure ) [18:35]
mircea_popescu: yes. but that's not under dispute, the "convince them" part is. they were convinced, and it didn't even take that much in terms of machine gun chains. [18:35]
asciilifeform: lol [18:36]
mircea_popescu: fortunately, there's no kako-nubbins party to argue that hey, as btc price is chiefly supported by the republic, which has a lot to do with mp, it is therefore mp's job to idemnify "the users" as imagined by kako-nubbins for "this loss" resulting from his you know, unauthorized use of resources for purposes not priorly reported to the almightyly important kako-nubbins party! [18:37]
asciilifeform: that 'philosophy' never really made sense to asciilifeform , even from psychiatric pov -- coin is owner's to blow as he feels like [18:37]
asciilifeform: shouldn't take much brain, to grasp this [18:38]
mircea_popescu: no but we're all under a discreet obligation to promote the herdemocracy! everything else is theft and corruption and racism and so on! [18:38]
asciilifeform: but hey, if mircea_popescu gets haetmail for not propping up btc to 1mil obummerbux per, asciilifeform gets 'you suck, why not derived constanttime gcd yet' , wonder what other folx get [18:39]
mircea_popescu: anyway, rolling back up this many branched loop : there is nothing to be gained by mentally denominating capital in uniform standard dosidoes, nor by mentally denominating labour in redditard. [18:39]
mircea_popescu: because usd doesan't buy you anything you actually want and redditard can't make anything you actually want. [18:40]
mircea_popescu: yes they buy and make some things. this is of the nature and substance of clouds. [18:40]
asciilifeform: take redditard as a container -- why shouldn't however many 'tidebux' he has squirreled away, chase scarce btc in market ? [18:40]
mircea_popescu: because he hasn't. [18:40]
asciilifeform: most have > 0 . [18:40]
mircea_popescu: why shouldn't whatever spare cycles his brain has be used to improve tmsr-rsa ? [18:41]
asciilifeform: ( many fewer than they think -- but >0 ) [18:41]
mircea_popescu: because... he doesn't have any! [18:41]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not valid comparison [18:41]
asciilifeform: brain cycle ain't cumulative [18:41]
asciilifeform: gold is. [18:41]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform your notion of money is broken in that you misunderstand its materiality. [18:41]
mircea_popescu: goldbug looks at bar of gold, thinks "value here", you look at benjie think "value here". this is however not so, capital is an abstract not a concrete item. [18:41]
asciilifeform: mno i get it , on mars it dun buy nuffin [18:42]
mircea_popescu: not even that, mars. [18:42]
asciilifeform: but we are not (yet) on mars. [18:42]
asciilifeform: though approaching rapidly. [18:42]
mircea_popescu: let us look into this more productively : [18:42]
mircea_popescu: consider : 1. large corporation, worth 1 trillion. analyst expected profit year end is 75 billion. company beats, makes 76 billion. [18:42]
mircea_popescu: 2. small start-up, worth 1 million. analyst expected profit year end is -300k. company beats, makes 999 bn 999 million 700k. [18:43]
mircea_popescu: both these items made the same unexpected billion. nevertheless, in the case of 1 this will be discounted to about a third of its value, resulting in minor share appreciation c.p. [18:44]
mircea_popescu: whereas in case 2 it will be put at so massively a premium so as to make 2 stock outstanding worth more than 1's. [18:44]
mircea_popescu: this is because the "same" money is discounted on the basis of "in whose hands it finds itself" -- the 1 people are expected to lose most of it under couch cushions the 2 people are expected to take over the world with that scrawny one billion. [18:45]
mircea_popescu: see the logic ? [18:45]
mircea_popescu: money is not material. [18:45]
asciilifeform: 2 would be seen as 'swan' or how did it go, and is not in same class and dun go in same sentence as 1 [18:45]
mircea_popescu: FOR THE REASON that the implicit discount on its money is different. [18:45]
mircea_popescu: or in the immortal words of some schmuck, "nah. if i give you 50k now i'm wasting it". [18:45]
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-18#1700435 << i mean "999.7 mn" obviously. they both make the same. [18:47]
a111: Logged on 2017-08-18 22:43 mircea_popescu: 2. small start-up, worth 1 million. analyst expected profit year end is -300k. company beats, makes 999 bn 999 million 700k. [18:47]
asciilifeform: no i get it [18:47]
mircea_popescu: cool. [18:47]
mircea_popescu: the only reason everyday joe doesn't encounter capital discounts is because a) too small and b) too stupid. otherwise even someone running a small video rental comprehends the difference between accounts receivable depending on from whom, and so on. [18:48]
mircea_popescu: whjole fucking point of investing, at least in the buffett understanding of it (apolitical, or in his case naively copacetic-political, columbia floating over farmer drawn hills) is to identify the corps with the most favourable capital discounts and to buy those while selling their opposites. [18:49]
asciilifeform: identify / create, neh [18:50]
mircea_popescu: obviously the burlington discussion is very much apropos here : http://trilema.com/2015/so-im-going-to-be-a-total-asshole-for-a-moment-here/#selection-921.0-929.476 [18:51]
mircea_popescu: the important parts : spent 200 per share to go from 60 to... 68. [18:51]
asciilifeform: or the 'what's the roi of a tank battallion' thread [18:52]
mircea_popescu: that's a 96% discount on capital. [18:52]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well no, tank batallion is a different story. this is a textile maker, it has no further productive externalities than what it gets for cloth [18:52]
asciilifeform: same dynamic though, qualitatively -- once you have no textile production capacity, you're stuck in the comical position of trying to buy own uniform from the enemy [18:53]
asciilifeform: ( where, incidentally, is american uniform made ? ) [18:53]
mircea_popescu: now you understand why inca is no actual problem, nor its redditards worth courting. [18:53]
asciilifeform: i still think the current wallet state-of-art to be a ridiculous thing. [18:57]
mircea_popescu: no argument there. [18:57]
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> let them learn teh brass tacks. << everyone has to, ya. [18:58]

asciilifeform: 'The FBI has been briefing private sector companies on intelligence claiming to show that the Moscow-based cybersecurity company Kaspersky Lab is an unacceptable threat to national security...' [19:00]
mircea_popescu: ahaha [19:00]
mircea_popescu: not cisco right ? that's good. [19:01]
asciilifeform: 'That followed the General Services Administration removing Kaspersky from an approved-vendors list in early July and a congressional push to pass a law that would ban Kaspersky from being used by the Department of Defense.' [19:01]
asciilifeform: noshit [19:01]
asciilifeform: ( notice how cisco is 'in business as usual', wholly disconnected from whether any actual people would even conceive of buying from it ) [19:01]
mircea_popescu: anyway, transparend qpq seeing how microsoft is losing the global battle for relevancy. [19:02]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha. maybe they merge with mtgox. [19:02]
asciilifeform: losing global battle << waiwat did somebody cough up a non-phdassemblyline nonmicroshitian comp while asciilifeform slept ? [19:03]

mod6: solid l0g [19:06]
mircea_popescu: hehe [19:07]
mod6: <+asciilifeform> in this light, doing anything whatsoever other than 'hodling' is raw deal. << there are exceptions [19:09]
mod6: but mostly, the savings rate far exceeds the yield of capatal allocation which is obvious. and will stay that way for sometime as fiats -> 0. someday, that'll be different. [19:10]
mircea_popescu: seems to be obvious and necessarily true, iunasmuch as bitcoin has 100% of the world savings market share and about a millionth of a percent of the world capital allocation market share. [19:20]
mircea_popescu: just like if on an imaginary island you had a farm that produced all the milk but none of the meat, the return would be mostly in milk and not much in meat. [19:21]

mircea_popescu: aww [22:20]
Birdman: so i went through and deleted all the tournaments cause those are not relevant, and i got seemingly different results. I think maybe its displaying less than all the hands it has found? i only saw four cash game hands the first time, deleted all the tournaments, and now i see a ton of cash game hands [22:23]

[22:24]
mircea_popescu: what do you mean lack of space. [22:25]
mike_c: doubt it. how many hands does it say it processed? [22:25]
mike_c: and how many did it say before you pulled the tournament files? [22:25]
asciilifeform: the 1 quasi-earnest d00d -- sacked [22:26]
Birdman: bit over 26k and before a bit under 30k, also i think this guy's hand history is amazingly fragmented in a ton of spots so im trying to get a more solid chunk of data to run it on [22:27]

mircea_popescu: lol Birdman 's got a consultancy bidniss almost going ? [22:33]

Birdman: which i did by searching through with "T1" cause tournaments all start with that and no cash games would [22:42]
Birdman: yes [22:42]
mike_c: well, seems like 80% of those are only going to be missing one player, so filtering by that won't help you [22:43]
