Vexual | helicopter + college | [00:40] |

jborkl | All the noobs think they are really getting bitcoins back from (insert scammer of the week here) | [00:52] |
ThickAsThieves | mp this reminds me of the concept discussed in the past, of well-off parents not properly teaching their kids to stay wealthy, and then over X generations all wealth is lost to the family name | [00:52] |
jborkl | they have not been here in the past and seen (insert scammer of the past week here) did not pay anyone back | [00:53] |
mike_c | of course, since the ancestor who made the money is dead, who cares? | [00:53] |
ThickAsThieves | many care, legacy is a big deal for some | [00:53] |
mircea_popescu | ThickAsThieves the trick is, making a fortune and keeping a fortune are pretty divergent skills. | [00:53] |
mircea_popescu | consider the following imo very illustrative example : | [00:53] |
mircea_popescu | everyone involved in bitcoin of any consequence exhibits the "cave early" behaviour. | [00:54] |
mike_c | tough to enjoy your legacy when you're dead. | [00:54] |
ThickAsThieves | mike_c this value varies by culture | [00:54] |
* | saulimus has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) | [00:54] |
ThickAsThieves | some really do enjoy knowing they have a legacy to leave | [00:54] |
mircea_popescu | now, this is a rare behaviour irl. if you go up to a girl and ask her out, it's rare that she says "ok, i'm willing to be your gf now" after two hours. | [00:54] |
Vexual | ah hem | [00:55] |
mircea_popescu | in general, the expectation will be that she caves late. and indeed should you after a three week courtship tell her gtfo, you should have said yes on the first pass it'll be unexpected. | [00:55] |
mircea_popescu | now, bitcoiners are exactly the opposite : they are in bitcoin because they caved early, to the lures of this bitcoin idea. | [00:55] |
mircea_popescu | the bears are more akin to the girl : they expect bitcoin to court them. | [00:55] |
mircea_popescu | the funny thing is, that the people who caved early and got bitcoin will continue with the same behaviour : they cave early and get dollars, too. | [00:56] |
ThickAsThieves | and will thus miss much of the appreciation | [00:56] |
mircea_popescu | this is why we see this see saw pattern on the price : once it reaches 100 everyone who thought "three digits" sells out | [00:56] |
mircea_popescu | the mounting buying pressure is temporarily sated, but then later on ? 200, 500, 800 go by like a dream | [00:56] |
mircea_popescu | because all the kids who were going to sell at 100 to 1000 sold at 130ish | [00:57] |
mircea_popescu | the same will repeat for a while, i suspect. most of the people that willl sell under 10k have sold or are about to sell at 1k ish | [00:57] |

mircea_popescu | now, this behaviour clearly does not optimize the $$$ you get for your btc, | [00:57] |
mircea_popescu | but it is coherent with the behaviour that GOT YOU that btc in the first place. | [00:57] |

asciilifeform | i'd like to see what one of these does near... an ordinary spark gap. | [03:59] |
Vexual | do they make a cargo model? | [04:00] |
asciilifeform | Vexual: that's nearly an adult chopper, not comparable to the miniatures at all. | [04:01] |

dub | gps spoofing is wild | [04:10] |
dub | supposed to be pretty easy | [04:10] |
asciilifeform | dub: why perforate enemy, take him home as a pet. | [04:10] |
dub | rf hardening would be another question | [04:11] |
asciilifeform | dub: the notion of rf-hardening a widget that includes a large antenna is a curious one. | [04:11] |
dub | presumably you would harden in the defensive direction (down) while leaving a channel on the harder to target side (up) | [04:12] |
Vexual | its not actually large though is it | [04:13] |
asciilifeform | dub: the hypothetical was: a toystore chopper limpets on to the larger one. what ought to be in the former. | [04:13] |
mircea_popescu | acetone im telling you. | [04:14] |
asciilifeform | one fun possibility: toy turns its rotors 90 deg., they turn into... windmill generators. | [04:15] |
asciilifeform | for the spark gap... | [04:15] |
dub | cheaper yet, a parachute | [04:16] |
Vexual | a magnet and a parachute | [04:16] |
asciilifeform | need an uncommonly solid grip, for a drogue chute. | [04:16] |
dub | of course they can probably mitigate it when they realise telemetry is not lining up wth flight plan | [04:17] |
asciilifeform | flight plan, from the moment of limpeting, should be 'vertical.' | [04:17] |
* | truffles has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) | [04:17] |
dub | not if for a rotating wing | [04:18] |
dub | it'll just limp a bit | [04:18] |
Vexual | aluminium magnets are expensive too | [04:18] |
asciilifeform | dub: for rotating wing, payload is: piano wire. | [04:18] |
dub | hard to deploy right | [04:18] |
Vexual | a long one | [04:18] |
dub | thermite wins anyway | [04:18] |
asciilifeform | no magnets for Al. nail gun. | [04:19] |
Vexual | better make that 1st shot count | [04:19] |
dub | if you're aiming a gun make it an rf gun | [04:19] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform actually, horse hair | [04:20] |
asciilifeform | for choppers, fly two toys, trailing piano wire between. | [04:20] |
dub | otherwise the limpet needs to aquire taret and track | [04:20] |
mircea_popescu | give it a slow death | [04:20] |
Vexual | the theif could trail the piano wire in its path and hope for the tangle | [04:20] |
asciilifeform | fishing line may even work, considering what will happen when the rotor winds it up. | [04:20] |
mircea_popescu | yup | [04:21] |
asciilifeform | (suggested experiment: two tennis balls, fishing line, an old-style uncaged metal fan, an open field.) | [04:21] |
mircea_popescu | usualyl in this sort of situation flexible > rigid | [04:21] |
dub | I think you're going to need to get real lucky to tangle a cord in the prop | [04:21] |
dub | need to attack from above basically | [04:21] |
mircea_popescu | dub not if your fishing wire is part of a net. | [04:22] |
Vexual | is that a little raddome on the top of tail? | [04:22] |
asciilifeform | Vexual: sat uplink | [04:22] |
Vexual | halfway down the tail | [04:22] |
Vexual | or is that for shaft lube? | [04:23] |
asciilifeform | before you know it, we're back to 1930s state of the art: barrage balloon. | [04:23] |
Vexual | it can climb with better conmtrol than descend | [04:24] |
asciilifeform | usg drone is built for specific work: plug unarmed man, in open field, by surprise. | [04:24] |
asciilifeform | to expect that it will be sent to do some other job is odd. | [04:24] |
asciilifeform | a different machine is called for, and will appear. | [04:25] |
* | Sigmasg has quit (Quit: Bye) | [04:25] |
asciilifeform | rf is a more interesting countermeasure than pyrotechnics, because enemy machines can travel by land, sea, hell, sewer line, and not only by air. | [04:27] |
asciilifeform | solve the general case. | [04:27] |
Vexual | sewer drone? | [04:28] |
asciilifeform | when the bureaucrats say 'asymmetric war' and piss their pants, they aren't specifically thinking of bedouins with ak | [04:29] |
diametric | ah discussing the news about amazons drone delivery publicity stunt? | [04:29] |
asciilifeform | but rather, anyone who can out-think the idiots. | [04:29] |
mircea_popescu | where the idiots are themselves. | [04:30] |
asciilifeform | naturally | [04:30] |
mircea_popescu | "this war is asymetric in that the enemy chooses to not make the same exact mistakes we do" | [04:30] |
Vexual | never heard of him | [04:30] |
mircea_popescu | in this sense the us rebellion was asymmetric as seen from king george's palace. | [04:30] |
asciilifeform | asymmetric: 'we are rich, they - poor, they oughta roll over and die fair and square.' | [04:31] |
mircea_popescu | lol | [04:31] |
mircea_popescu | pretty much. | [04:31] |
Vexual | war? what war? | [04:32] |
asciilifeform | Vexual: 'you may not be interested in war, but war is quite interested in you.' | [04:32] |
Vexual | ALL the money? | [04:32] |
Vexual | is that one of yours ascii? | [04:33] |
asciilifeform | nope. | [04:34] |
asciilifeform | trotsky! | [04:34] |
Vexual | never heard of him | [04:34] |
asciilifeform | btw, at the current max range of toy drone, one could achieve very similar results with: catapult. | [04:34] |
Vexual | or a tennis ball | [04:35] |
asciilifeform | (for product delivery, of things that don't mind being thrown) | [04:35] |
asciilifeform | like most SR cargo. | [04:35] |
Vexual | or an avalon | [04:35] |
diametric | I really doubt that will ever come to fruition. It's just publicity. There's no way their attorneys are going to sign off on something thats going to have that much liability. | [04:35] |
asciilifeform | diametric: it will be done. by people who don't care for legalities. | [04:36] |
diametric | The potential damage to property and lives will be way to high. Anything strong enough to carry 5 pound packages is strong enough to kill someone. | [04:36] |
diametric | asciilifeform: yeah | [04:36] |
diametric | I still have faint scars from when I was playing with that one larger multirotor. | [04:37] |
asciilifeform | everybody who builds toy choppers has the characteristic scars. | [04:37] |
diametric | Or worse, there | [04:37] |
diametric | There have been several deaths just this last year from them | [04:37] |
asciilifeform | 'here comes the candle, to light you to bed. here comes the chopper, to chop off your head.' | [04:38] |
Vexual | i lost one, fled immediately | [04:38] |
asciilifeform | in the unlikely event of the 'legit' vendors using choppers, they'll go for enclosed airscrews. 'ufo' shape. | [04:39] |
Vexual | remeber this bit of cgi genius? | [04:40] |

mircea_popescu | exactly. it's actually illegal in the democracy to improve the capital value of labour. | [06:16] |

KRS|gotyawallet | ok i see | [06:21] |
KRS|gotyawallet | thanks i didnt understand | [06:21] |
mircea_popescu | the process through which the antique adolescens solidified into vir, ie, a man, is the typical increase in value. it includes such experience as killing others, and being responsible for the self in new situations and so on. | [06:21] |
mircea_popescu | similarly, but more politely, the process through which the medieval youth moved from unskilled apprentice to skilled journeyman to actual craftsman on his own is similar | [06:22] |
* | HaltingState has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | [06:23] |
mircea_popescu | these all include two things : adversative education, which is to say education done forcibly, without bothering with the consent of the educated, and political power. neither exist in a democracy, thus reducing the youth to this situation of neoteny. | [06:23] |

Vexual | ask mp, he lived in communist romania, i imagine it wasnt much different | [06:42] |
KRS|gotyawallet | i have a mexican i pay $100 for a day of labour on my property..usually twice a month..he normally makes $80 and works longer in on the farms picking vegetables. | [06:42] |
KRS|gotyawallet | Companies pay him much less because he's an undocumented worker. | [06:42] |
Vexual | i think capitalism is pretty hard wired into humans | [06:42] |
Vexual | he is the company fuckwit | [06:42] |
KRS|gotyawallet | i pay him moar because he works hard, is reliable and very trustworthy..i pay him his equivallent rate as a documented worker. | [06:43] |

KRS|gotyawallet | right, he does the work of two men and doesnt need to be managed | [06:48] |
mircea_popescu | unlike amy | [06:48] |
mircea_popescu | also unlike amy, he doesn't vote. he lives in a different system, which both explains him and makes sense to him. | [06:49] |
KRS|gotyawallet | he lives in a VERY different system although he doesn't even live that far away from where i do | [06:49] |
mircea_popescu | well that's basically my point. in his system, every person is valuable, and because oif that you end up with hard working people who aren't depressed. | [06:49] |
mircea_popescu | in amy's system you end up with amy, who has no skills and no future. | [06:50] |
Vexual | i blame amy | [06:50] |
mircea_popescu | so to speak, you brought my example yourself :) | [06:50] |
KRS|gotyawallet | ahh ok..yes. | [06:50] |
mircea_popescu | now, if amy got to spend a few years on a mexican farm among mexican people who'd put her lazy ass to work rather than ask her about her feelings | [06:51] |
mircea_popescu | she'd come back a marrigeable, useful and generally sane and adult woman. | [06:51] |
KRS|gotyawallet | maybe pregnant too. | [06:51] |
mircea_popescu | but this doesn't happen where she lives. why not ? because nobody gives a shit. | [06:51] |
KRS|gotyawallet | capitalism wouldnt let that happen..in her system is she given the necessities to survive even though she doesn't work? | [06:52] |
Vexual | you might be confusing capitalism with something else | [06:52] |
KRS|gotyawallet | how so? in a capitalist society she wouldnt be given anything, she would have to do something in order to survive ie: make herself useful | [06:52] |

dexX7 | i bought some gpus, but i somehow feel like a sucker, because now is probably the best time to resell that stuff.. maybe i'll even do likewise before it arrives. a 7950 on ebay is worth 250-300+ eur here :D | [16:21] |

mircea_popescu | not so unlike how universities worked since abour 1200 | [16:47] |
ThickAsThieves | "That feature has lead to an inflationary bubble in bitcoin-to-dollar trading, with prices fluctuating largely from one day to the next.

pankkake | but it's also how you sell it. if you're a trusted seller, have nice pics, description, it gets higher | [21:45] |
mircea_popescu | this was done by the actual owner packing the laptops in his own personal car. | [21:45] |
mircea_popescu | i think the total loot for this grand scheme was around 5k or so. | [21:46] |
pankkake | haha. that's why retailers usually put max orders and only allow individuals | [21:46] |

mircea_popescu | stephengandel if your budged is in the bitcoin range, and your technical sophistication low you are best served by a bitcoin. | [21:57] |
mircea_popescu | think of mpex as the nyse, which is what it is. for most purposes you won't acquire a seat in the pit. | [21:57] |

mircea_popescu | mike_c oops right. | [21:57] |
stephengandel | gotcha | [21:57] |
BingoBoingo | stephengandel: Yup. Coinbr, the broker does their opions on MPEx. As Mircea says though just holding the bitcoin may be the wiser course of action. | [21:58] |
mircea_popescu | "A 29-year-old suspect surnamed Liu allegedly began operating GBL trading platform on May 27 of this year, according to police in Dongyang City in east China’s Zhejiang Province." | [21:58] |
mircea_popescu | kleeck kickass. | [21:58] |
kleeck | :) | [21:58] |
mircea_popescu | BingoBoingo if he expects a drop then holding the bitcoin isn't particularly wise. | [21:58] |
kleeck | Hope to soon have a similar article involving Armandi and Tatti. :D | [21:59] |
stephengandel | gotcha. Will give it a try and let you know how it goes. | [21:59] |
stephengandel | Do you think bitcoins will drop? | [21:59] |
mircea_popescu | stephengandel you can also review the mpex monthly reports to see about how option trading has fared historically. a count of sold/bought contracts by the bot is provided in each | [21:59] |
dexX7 | they were quite fast. shut down oct 26, not even 2 months later some results | [21:59] |
mircea_popescu | stephengandel someone sold a lot of calls short yesterday, right before the drop. | [21:59] |
benkay | stephengandel: this is a channel of people who expect bitcoin to be the world reserve currency. | [21:59] |
mircea_popescu | it proved do be only temporary, they may end up with a loss. | [21:59] |

mircea_popescu | in completely unrelated news, | [23:35] |
mircea_popescu | "By making their product or artwork display neotenous traits, designers attempt to sway people to enjoy or desire their product because it appears childish, adorable, soft or otherwise desirable. By making a product cute, the nucleus accumbens in the human brain is targeted and elicits a protective or coddling response, which encourages an individual to acquire (purchase) said item. By designing items, characters, food | [23:35] |
mircea_popescu | or anything else in this manner, product designers attempt to create the same reaction to a product that a human baby could create." | [23:35] |
BingoBoingo | This describes S.NSA http://mpex.co/?mpsic=S.NSA | [23:35] |
mircea_popescu | so basically designers should be round up and shot. | [23:35] |
