mircea_popescu The appeal by Megan Williams was dismissed because the 'benefits of the development did not outweigh the harm to the character and appearance of the countryside'. [00:02]
mircea_popescu what srsly ? [00:02]

asciilifeform mircea_popescu: you have allodial titles where you live? [00:03]
mircea_popescu in this sense, yes we do. [00:03]
mircea_popescu you can build whatever the fuck you please as long as you own the land. [00:03]
asciilifeform in anglo world, land isn't really owned, just borrowed from the crown - like in ussr. [00:04]

gribble The Eiffel Tower Replica In Slobozia, Romania Is Especially Awesome: ; Slobozia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: ; List of Eiffel Tower replicas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: [00:04]
mircea_popescu yes, but in the roman empire land is actually owned. [00:04]
dub http://1.design-milk.com/images/2013/05/roundup-container-homes-1-600x247.jpg badass [00:05]
asciilifeform colleague of mine had to search for ages when buying a house where one was permitted to... plant an orchard. [00:05]
mircea_popescu ridiculous [00:05]
mircea_popescu romanian friends went to us, bought land, proceeded to build (proper) house [00:05]

mircea_popescu which means, concrete foundation, brick walls [00:05]
dub and pen must be 1m from boundary [00:06]
mircea_popescu ended up with a fucking bitter legal fight and eventually left the place with the idea that the us is a pre-modern shithole [00:06]
asciilifeform let me guess. couldn't get a government-approved architect to sign off on it [00:06]
mircea_popescu no, you were not allowed to build houses that solid. [00:07]
mircea_popescu gotta use vinyl siding crap [00:07]
asciilifeform haha [00:07]
mircea_popescu yeah it was like "i'm shooting this pencilneck" "dude what the fuck do you care about some random us pencilneck. go to peru, build there." [00:07]
ninjashogun is anyone here interested in loans? (I'm trying to raisie one as part of bootstrapping my hardware startup) [00:08]
mircea_popescu at this rate we'll probably end up with a "no soliciting" rule. [00:08]

ninjashogun last week or w/e I also connected with people. Didn't find the right match. Different people could be in here now. [00:09]

ninjashogun asciilifeform, I don't think a bank loan can be used to finance what I'm doing. If it could there would be no need for angels in the world. [00:10]
mircea_popescu nothing can be used to finance what you're doing you fuckwit you. [00:10]
asciilifeform ninjashogun: bank loan can finance a dope habit [00:10]
asciilifeform you just have to... pay it back [00:10]
asciilifeform is the intended implication that... you don't intend to? [00:11]
mircea_popescu this nonsense whereby you secrete your own fictious world where you're not an idiot in spite of actually being an idiot is unfinanceable. [00:11]
ninjashogun mircea_popescu, well, considering that the startup has already been financed to an extent, your statement is false. Something can't be unfinanceable if it has been financed. [00:12]
mircea_popescu jesus god. [00:12]
asciilifeform if financed, then why ask? [00:12]
pLambert mircea_popescu: do we need another trilema post about how things are supposed to work? [00:12]
mircea_popescu pLambert no, because kids know better than to read anything anyway [00:12]
ninjashogun asciilifeform, because that was over a year ago, and that was to the company. [00:12]
asciilifeform and new one is to be to... ? [00:12]
ninjashogun asciilifeform, I would like to bootstrap a bit farther and need to make further milestones that have a nontrivial cost for me. [00:12]
mircea_popescu personally i blame the school system. this new idea whereby instead of beating them every time they fail to consult the dictionary upon encountering an unknown world they're encouraged to guess "based on context" what "it might mean" [00:13]
mircea_popescu it's been the ruin of an entire generation. [00:13]
asciilifeform ninjashogun: what are you building, that you need a loan? airplane? particle accelerator? [00:13]
ninjashogun to myself, as a personal loan. I would like to do it this way because the company has become much more valuable, has assigned IP assets, etc. It doesn't make sense to raise a small amount of company by the company. [00:13]
mircea_popescu ninjashogun you are nobody. what personal ? [00:13]
mircea_popescu does your brain work at all ? [00:13]
ninjashogun mircea_popescu, I'd ask you to tone it down a bit. [00:13]
mircea_popescu but i mean, at all. to an absolute modicum of minimal function. [00:13]
mircea_popescu fuck you [00:13]
asciilifeform i'm genuinely curious what this fellow intends to do with the money [00:13]
mircea_popescu you don't ask anything. [00:13]
BingoBoingo ;;ident ninjashogun [00:14]
gribble Nick 'ninjashogun', with hostmask 'ninjashogun!~User@212.96.61.236', is not identified. [00:14]
mircea_popescu BingoBoingo no, because the hip thing to do is to come here each week and not wot, and then ask mp to tone it down a bit [00:14]
asciilifeform if the answer is 'pay for groceries' he has the wrong address [00:14]
mircea_popescu god forbid anyone ever tells you when you're an idiot. [00:14]
ninjashogun asciilifeform, yes, like your examples of airplane and particle acccelerator, it is physical hardware. Obviously a plane on a new design would cost millions in R&D, however we just have proprietary educational hardware and have very modest needs (under about $17K) [00:14]
BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: I see. [00:14]
ninjashogun which is why I wuold not raise external money for it - it is a small amount I would use as a bridge loan. But your thinking is correct, asciilifeform [00:14]
asciilifeform ninjashogun: please consider saying what it is. [00:14]
asciilifeform if you want to have a sporting chance of interesting someone [00:15]
mircea_popescu anyway, taking ideas on how exactly one manages to help the dunning-kruger crowd of entrepreneurs. [00:15]
jborkl you would be better off going to the lending subsection on bitcointalk [00:15]
jborkl that is where those type of loans reside [00:15]
asciilifeform ninjashogun: for instance, if you were to reveal what the hardware is, i might take pity and tell you how to obtain an equivalent for 17 instead of 17k usd. [00:16]
nubbins` ninjashogun if you ident i can provide you with any size loan you need [00:17]
pLambert I don't understand, why would you take a personal loan to finance your business instead of having your business get the loan it needs? [00:17]
mircea_popescu "Feb 25 08:13:06 guys I've received some suggestions to "lurk" and "read logs" here, which I wouldn't really have time to do. It was nice meeting you all though and I may be back as the project progresses. Overall I don't think I will be spending a ton of time building WoT, advisors, etc - as I have real-world references for the moment that I would expect anyone to consutl." [00:17]
mircea_popescu that's where we're at. [00:17]
mircea_popescu you have to be incredibly fucking retarded to go "hey guise, i don't give a shit about you bye" [00:18]
mircea_popescu then copme back a week later going "hey guise pls charity ???" [00:18]
mircea_popescu you've chosen your road, you're too good to do what you're supposed to do, go do it somewhere else. [00:18]
pLambert oh, wait, these things are recorded? [00:18]
nubbins` heh [00:18]
mircea_popescu of course they're recorded. [00:18]
nubbins` every word [00:18]
mircea_popescu pLambert we've not even come to the part where he's taking a BTC denominated loan. [00:19]
pLambert getting a BTC loan is easy ... paying it back is the hard part! [00:19]
BingoBoingo Want to borrow, 5-10 BTC for gambling. Three month term, will return principle + 10% or list of losing bets << Is this questionable and scammy enough, I also ams not auth'd [00:19]
mircea_popescu and to top it all off, i actually took the time to point out to him the previous beggar that ended up here drug in by the openbsd story [00:20]
mircea_popescu at least that guy had a decent whine about noisy laptops and naked wives in eastern russia [00:20]
BingoBoingo Unfortunately he didn't anticipate mircea_popescu's preference whereby wives be naked [00:20]
nubbins` "or list of losing bets" [00:20]
nubbins` i like it [00:20]
* pLambert has quit (Quit: Page closed) [00:21]
mircea_popescu i wonder what roger ver pays for a list of losing bets [00:21]
BingoBoingo That's a good question [00:21]
BingoBoingo The problem with that loan structure known is it is easy to compile hypothetical losing bets after the fact [00:22]
* tyrion70 (~Adium@unaffiliated/tyrion70) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:22]
mircea_popescu that's ok, roger ver buys everything [00:22]
mircea_popescu he's rich, bich. [00:22]
mod6 heh [00:22]
BingoBoingo If only Betbet allowed bets open longer than a Year, "Roger Ver to fall under 1 BTC in holding by 2020" [00:23]
* jborkl (~jborkl@unaffiliated/jborkl) has left #bitcoin-assets ("Leaving") [00:24]
mircea_popescu how would you ever verify it ? [00:24]
BingoBoingo Also a good question. [00:24]
BingoBoingo Maybe Usagi's Eternal bond can buy into the gambling loan from hell. [00:26]
mircea_popescu only if you talk nice to him [00:26]
mircea_popescu actually... he's probably in desperate need of a friend. [00:26]
nubbins` http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/canada-post-says-sorry-for-homophobic-flyer-delivery-1.2559680 [00:26]
ozbot Canada Post says sorry for homophobic-flyer delivery - Newfoundland & Labrador - CBC News [00:26]
BingoBoingo I've probably talked mean to him in the past [00:27]
nubbins` interesting that they chose that for a headline, rather than "Canada Post now vetting and censoring addressed admail" [00:27]
nubbins` guess this means the price of stamps is going up [00:27]
mircea_popescu nubbins` ideally they stop delivering admail altogether. [00:28]
mircea_popescu that'd be a splendid measure. [00:28]
nubbins` would be even nicer [00:28]
nubbins` i'd be able to take the "no flyers please" sign off my mailbox [00:28]
nubbins` too much money in it tho [00:29]
nubbins` 40-50 cents per piece [00:29]
mircea_popescu perhaps i'm being silly, but i suspect there's actually a hidden barb in there. ie, superficially it seems there's too much money to give in, [00:30]
mircea_popescu but if you gave it up suddenly the post office wouldn't be floundering anymore. [00:30]
mircea_popescu consider the situation of prostitutes. while fucking random men for money is in fact more income than your average married woman makes on a day by day basis, cash in hand basis [00:30]
mircea_popescu nevertheless the net worth, average expenditure etc of married women exceeds that of prostitutes. [00:31]
mircea_popescu maybe if the post office quit being a whore it'd actually not go bankrupt every 15 years. [00:31]
* jedunnigan has quit () [00:31]
nubbins` they're trying to phase out home delivery now, and move everyone to neighbourhood "supermailboxes" [00:31]
nubbins` the elderly and infirm be damned! [00:32]
mircea_popescu so you have to go queue for your flyers ? [00:32]
nubbins` http://blu.stb.s-msn.com/i/FF/CCB86F359BC0386F7CABB6137B4B.jpg [00:32]
nubbins` not enough of them in one spot for a queue to be necessary [00:33]
nubbins` (do you think flyers still get delivered to that particular box?) [00:33]
mircea_popescu heh [00:33]
ninjashogun sorry, nubbins`, just read the backlog now. I was chatting with a couple of people sorry. [00:34]
nubbins` ninjashogun: don't worry about it, i was kidding anyway. go fuck yourself [00:34]
ninjashogun I don't need 'any size loan' and we could look at the budget breakdown together as well - I would expect it to be based on real world identities and paperwork, not IRC. [00:34]
BingoBoingo Those seem to default more frequently than properly structured IRC loans though. [00:36]

mircea_popescu you ever heard of this thing called bitcoin ? [00:38]
ninjashogun nubbins`, why is it a benefit for you that that even exists? (For cases where there is a real world identity behind both sides) [00:38]
BingoBoingo ninjashogun: Well just this afternoon someone supposed a deal, I took and and the thing was resolved in minutes. [00:38]
ninjashogun yeah mircea_popescu, I just heard of an exchange that might have just walked off with millions in deposits, because rather than rely on real world contracts to protect creditors (people who deposit) it just built an online trust model. [00:39]
mircea_popescu you misheard. [00:39]

* rbones (~rbones@unaffiliated/rbonestell) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:40]
BingoBoingo The used real world contracts to defraud, when they should have implemented a strong trust model [00:40]
ninjashogun BingoBoingo - if you trusted a stranger based on a WoT score and resolved a deal in a few minutes, you're very likely going to be scammed one day. It takes far longer than a few minutes to verify someone's identity that you've never met. [00:40]
nubbins` you're nothing if not tenacious [00:40]
nubbins` i'm not sure how best to express that nobody in this channel will ever, ever give you what you're looking for [00:40]
nubbins` almost every regular has tried [00:41]
BingoBoingo ninjashogun: People don't have a "WoT score" they have personalize networks. The score is the least relevant part of a WoT [00:41]
ninjashogun BingoBoingo - trust models can't be programmatic, or they will be games. For example someone will set up $10K just to spend on interest as they do hundreds of transactions with trusted members over a year - the only goal being to be given a $200K transaction that they then walk off with. You can't build trust programmatically. [00:41]
mircea_popescu actually, a better expression : over a short week, youv'e gone from some random scum nobody'd consider seriously to someone that everyone would make a point out of never doing any sort of business with. sort of from 0 to -100 [00:41]
mircea_popescu i guess itmust be a talent. [00:41]
asciilifeform it is so very easy to build... distrust programmatically. [00:42]
mircea_popescu incredibly, but true. this can actually be done. [00:42]
* punkman1 (~punkman@unaffiliated/punkman) has joined #bitcoin-assets [00:43]
ninjashogun mircea_popescu, well, this does not match my impression of conversations off of this channel. You seem to be the only one with a very strong view. I would humbly submit that it is due to your strong interest in one particular financial model. Of course if you start swearing at me people will dislike me. [00:43]
ninjashogun mircea_popescu, I've had private conversations that were just fine. It's true that you disagree with my approach and have clout here, you certainly set the tone in here, that's your right. [00:44]

benkay` ninjashogun: there's no minimum IQ required for participating on the internet. [01:58]

mircea_popescu the philosophical problem would be that privacy is impossible without identity [01:58]

ninjashogun mircea_popescu, could you elaborate? [01:58]
asciilifeform spammer wants to talk to one chump at a time [01:58]

benkay` ya it's a pretty strong lure [02:01]
benkay` anyways ninjashogun if you want privacy on IRC this is what you do [02:01]
ninjashogun benkay` I am making the time, because it is important. I'm also surprised by some of what I have learned about bitcoin-assets. [02:01]
ninjashogun For example I thought mirceau completely bootstrapped his thing, had no investors of any kind, since he doesn't deal with them the way startups I've seen do. [02:01]
benkay` ask your counterparty to sign a declaration they'll not publish records of your conversation [02:01]
kakobrekla what did you learn about bitcoin-assets ? [02:01]
ninjashogun Instead he got 30K btc as an investment, valuing his thing at one point around $1B. This is just totally different from what I was expecting. [02:02]
benkay` of course, asking for a thing from someone in the WoT without having your own identity is a bit el oh el, but whatever and airplanes etc. [02:02]
mircea_popescu you're nuts yo. [02:02]
mircea_popescu bootstrapping happened in 2011 [02:02]
mircea_popescu i can take an investor on any terms i want in 2013, seeing how i'm already valued at a billion, with him or without him. [02:02]

mircea_popescu you really should, it's quite excellent literature. unlike french cheese, this is passable, and why we tolerate them in europe. [02:37]
mircea_popescu but that aside, you familiar with the *medieval* notion that a healthy young boy should learn a trade, and only phtisic good for nothing losers go to university ? [02:38]
asciilifeform oh yes. [02:38]
mircea_popescu as immortalised say in the romanian saying, "logofete brinza-n cuiu, lapte acru-n calimari, chiu si vai prin buzunari" [02:38]

mircea_popescu i mean there's no requirement that the chump don't enjoy it [02:40]
asciilifeform correct [02:40]
mircea_popescu or that he regrets the ride after havin been taken for it [02:40]
mircea_popescu all that;s required is that he can never go back [02:40]
asciilifeform casino is an incontrovertible chumpatron [02:40]
mircea_popescu which is to say, an entalpic process [02:40]
asciilifeform hence 'fuel' analogy [02:40]
mircea_popescu indeed. [02:40]
mircea_popescu perhaps unobvious in the fuel analogy, because the inadvertent reader will think in terms of power [02:41]
mircea_popescu rather than in proper thermodynamics notions of reversibility [02:41]
asciilifeform thermodynamics notions of reversibility << this was the exact intended meaning. [02:41]
mircea_popescu so then we understand each other. [02:42]
asciilifeform i did specify that in a chumpatron, vs. an ordinary bioreactor, the fuel /wants/ to burn [02:44]

mircea_popescu When we see a welfare mom we assume she can't find work, but when we see a hipster we become infuriated because we assume he doesn't want to work but could easily do so-- on account of the fact that he can speak well-- that he went to college.

mircea_popescu "So start with an interesting hypothetical: does everybody need to work anymore? I understand work from an ethical/character perspective, this is not here my point. Since we no longer need e.g. manufacturing jobs-- cheaper elsewhere or with robots-- since those labor costs have evaporated, could that surplus go towards paying people simply to stay out of trouble? Is there a natural economic equilibrium price where, [04:01]
mircea_popescu say, a U Chicago grad can do no economically productive work at all but still be paid to use Instagram? Let me be explicit: my question is not should we do this, my question is that since this is precisely what's happening already, is it sustainable? What is the cost? I don't have to run the numbers, someone already has: it's $150/mo for a college grads, i.e. the price of food stamps. Other correct responses would [04:01]
mircea_popescu be $700/mo for "some high school" (SSI) or $1500/mo for "previous work experience" (unemployment). I would have accepted $2000/mo for "minorities" (jail) for partial credit." [04:01]

mircea_popescu "Partly this is because lawmakers and regulators, spooked by early hype and the Mt. Gox disaster, are never going to afford Bitcoin services the kind of autonomy they'd need in order to flourish. Partly it's because there are conceptual problems with the Bitcoin architecture itself. And partly it's because Bitcoin's anarchic roots are too fringe to draw in the masses. In the mind of the average American, the currency i [17:50]

mircea_popescu On October 26, 2005, [drug rep] Mr. Caronia went to Dr. Charno's office. He had never met Dr. Charno before, nor had any previous contact with him but for the phone calls from Dr. Charno seeking a promotional speech. During the meeting, Dr. Charno repeatedly asked Mr. Caronia off-label questions and asked to meet Dr. Gleason [a speaker for the company.] [19:32]
mircea_popescu Dr. Gleason eventually came, and, in the presence of Caronia, had a discussion with Dr. Charno about off-label uses for Xyrem (insomnia, restless legs, etc). Is Caronia responsible? Should he have stopped Gleason? The court said yes, and convicted him. [19:32]
mircea_popescu The trick was, Dr. Charno was actually a government informant. That's odd. And I have never heard of a doctor who requested a promotional speech. He cold called a rep he had never met and asked to meet him to discuss a drug he had never prescribed? [19:32]
mircea_popescu The third witness presented by the United States Government was the confidential informant, Dr. Steven Charno. After pleading guilty to medical insurance fraud stemming from his criminal act of filing fraudulent medical insurance bills in the amount of $821,000.00, Dr. Charno cooperated with the United States Government against Alfred Caronia. [19:32]
mircea_popescu I thought I was reading the script for a bad cop movie. Did the government use a plea agreement to force Charno to help the government capture drug reps that he had never even met? [19:32]
