mircea_popescu “The welfare state reduces a citizen to a client, subordinates them to a bureaucrat, and subjects them to rules that are anti- work, anti-family, anti-opportunity and anti-property... Humans forced to suffer under such anti-human rules naturally develop pathologies. The evening news is the natural result of the welfare state.” [00:12]
mircea_popescu im well persuaded by this, incidentally. [00:12]

cazalla you know, with the new pokemon game coming out in a few days time, idea of a bitcoin pokemon market would be great, could even have gpg pokemon contracts [00:16]
mircea_popescu you'll have to explain this like we've never been five [00:16]
mircea_popescu my idea of a pokemon is roughly speaking a beanie baby. what's to gpg there ? [00:17]
cazalla for trading pokemon, you know, so i can point and say hey, you said you would deliver pokemon xyz and you decided to back out at the last minute, don't trade with this guy [00:21]
mircea_popescu oh they're like playing cards ? [00:22]
TheNewDeal pokemon was also a card game back in the day, like Magic. Not sure if he's talking about software game [00:22]
mircea_popescu i suppose someone who knows about trading cards could re-make mtgox. [00:23]

cazalla mircea_popescu, never played pokemon? so you catch them as you would say find an item in an mmorpg, you train em, level em up, you can trade them as you would an item in an mmorpg to other players [00:23]
mircea_popescu aha [00:23]
mircea_popescu no, i never played such a thing. [00:23]
cazalla i doubt there is any demand for it but i would buy a desired pokemon for btc [00:23]
mircea_popescu what pokemon would you buy ?! [00:24]
danielpbarron the rare mewtwo with alt colorz! [00:24]
cazalla a shiny of course [00:24]
cazalla i am partial to the original 150 [00:25]
cazalla i wonder if nintendo capitulated and will allow 2 male pokemon to make a baby pokemon [00:26]
danielpbarron the amount of "work" that goes into finding a shiny would put it in the 1 to 10 BTC range [00:26]
mircea_popescu o.O [00:27]
mircea_popescu all these fucktarded nsa "codewords". it would not surprise me if the central nodes in the administration of all this perpetually overbudget, perpetually mismanaged nonsense are desocialised to the point they can no longer interact with people in a shop or bar or w/e [00:28]
mircea_popescu exactly like star trek ninnies, speaking a wholly unintelligible pigdin and laughing out of the blue for nutty reasons. [00:28]
TheNewDeal like Clockwork Orange? [00:29]
mircea_popescu pressure tube metrogripe toyfucks ? [00:29]

mircea_popescu actually, someone should make a backup service, exactly identical to tarsnap except it only accepts material gpg-encrypted to your key. [01:51]

mircea_popescu "What would government involvement in Bitcoin look like? Well one of their first goals would be to let the project stagnate.

mircea_popescu the onlyproblem with this theory being that spamfilters predate his adolescence. [21:21]

mircea_popescu i do not believe this outrage. [21:23]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: spam filter - and, aha, bayes lived long ago, likewise. mr y did not invent the moving parts. just stuck the pig head on the pole and convinced various folks to dance. [21:23]
mircea_popescu well ok but how do i evaluate how many folks and how much dancing. [21:23]

mircea_popescu Those who are arguing about the cost of healthcare or think that poor people are lying to get benefits are completely and utterly missing the point of the system.

mircea_popescu so add these two together, what do you get ? obviously the actual goals of the entire "global warming" stuff, especioally if scrubbed of all the crud, would generally be beneficial and are in any case unavoidable. [22:07]
