asciilifeform | and if that were the end... then, bundling pacts with pc makers, the collusion with intel to kill 'os/2' (secret cpu instructions), many other wonderful things | [00:00] |
diametric | i miss os/2. | [00:00] |
mircea_popescu | so these are not free market ? | [00:01] |
asciilifeform | i suppose ms turdows being mandatory os of usg is also free market ? | [00:01] |

mircea_popescu | it wasn't born that way. | [00:01] |
mike_c | ^ i think you are underestimating what it took to build the monolopy. | [00:02] |
mircea_popescu | so now, the "competition on technical merit" leg of your statement, i see | [00:02] |
mircea_popescu | the free market leg however, i do not. | [00:02] |

mircea_popescu | i'll readily grant that it didn't operate in any kind of free market in the 90s. but your statement was as of product | [00:03] |

asciilifeform | it is no coincidence, though, that ms became synonymous with 'home computer' in the 90s and not earlier. | [00:04] |
mircea_popescu | it may be. | [00:05] |
mircea_popescu | for instance, if jobs weren't an idiot. | [00:05] |
mircea_popescu | shitty macs could have been synonymous with home computer | [00:06] |
asciilifeform | much of what people think of as 'dark age' of apple corp. took place without herr jobs | [00:06] |
mircea_popescu | with much, much worse overal effects. | [00:06] |

mircea_popescu | fucktards running tablets today don't even realise they should be able to interact with their hard drives | [00:06] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform there is sucvh a thing as idiocy through absence. | [00:06] |
* | navhul-lacsup has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) | [00:06] |
asciilifeform | the outcome, unsurprisingly, was the death of apple corp. (it does not really exist today, just 'next' corp. renamed 'apple') | [00:07] |
mircea_popescu | come to think about it, i don't know there's something in the world i ever hated more than a mac, and in this sense a ms-dos pc seems a muchly preferable alternative. | [00:07] |
mike_c | the 'dark age' of apple would have been the 'no apple' age if microsoft hadn't given them money to keep them alive. | [00:07] |
* | navhul-lacsup (~navhul-la@50-203-185-198-static.hfc.comcastbusiness.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets | [00:07] |
mircea_popescu | so perhaps it was quite free market : we just got the better alternative, which sucked. | [00:07] |
mircea_popescu | the general idiocy of "the community" ie, the paying public, being the field on which technical solutions have to live. | [00:08] |
* | bitcoinpete has quit (Quit: bitcoinpete) | [00:08] |
asciilifeform | msdos was in some very real sense 'soviet' - as in, all the known joys, but a kid can build explosive xxxx at his parents' dacha without being harassed | [00:08] |
mircea_popescu | mike_c which kind-of explains WHY microsoft kept apple alive. | [00:08] |
mircea_popescu | any sane dog will keep the wolf alive. | [00:09] |
asciilifeform | in america this tactic has a name: | [00:09] |
asciilifeform | 'good cop / bad cop' | [00:09] |
mircea_popescu | democratic party ? | [00:09] |
mircea_popescu | aok. | [00:09] |
mike_c | keeping apple alive prevented more DOJ attention at the time. | [00:09] |

mircea_popescu | mike_c my meta-point is that, even if not epxlicit, what it really did was it kept people like me pacified | [00:10] |
mike_c | hah. gotcha. | [00:10] |
mircea_popescu | that'd otherwise have taken a flamethrower at redmond | [00:10] |
mircea_popescu | you know, simply shot gates, instead of merely throwing pies. | [00:10] |
bounce | er. should kids on tablets be able to interact with the hard drive? it's a bit like asking if drivers should be able to interact with their motor. plenty people prefer stick. esp. in the us plenty people *cannot drive* without automatic | [00:10] |

* | bounce recalls reading someone lamenting the world didn't go the wossname "persistent" route -- run a program, it'd auto-save to disk. next time you start it, auto-picks up where you left it. but on full OS level. | [00:13] |
mircea_popescu | some of the early memories kinda worked this way | [00:13] |

asciilifeform | correct. | [00:17] |
asciilifeform | genuinely starting over, even in an embedded machine, has cost. see apple's 'newton'. | [00:17] |
mircea_popescu | but sometimes that's unavoidable | [00:17] |

mircea_popescu | so might as well try something else. | [00:17] |
mircea_popescu | bounce i suspect that risk is mostly mitigated by stalin | [00:18] |
mircea_popescu | which is why stalin even exists in the first place. | [00:18] |
bounce | 'sdies, even without need you can, iff you have some vision or other to back it up. that's apparently a rare thing, seeing how there's only only jobs and a fsckton of imitators and NIH-botching immitators | [00:19] |
mircea_popescu | indeed | [00:19] |
mircea_popescu | what's 'sdies ? | [00:19] |

mircea_popescu | (even should it come at a cost of a few genuine heads impaled) | [00:21] |
asciilifeform | well, that follows naturally, no? | [00:21] |

mircea_popescu | BingoBoingo pirate post was april 2012, kraken was like august 2013ish | [04:03] |
mircea_popescu | Apocalyptic except they had a 600 btc hole from before. | [04:03] |
mircea_popescu | that's 3-4mn of the round. | [04:03] |

mircea_popescu | but their pr is spiraling out of control in a certain pattern. that's usually the end sign. | [04:05] |
BingoBoingo | Apocalyptic: You might be confusing that with the second hole in vircurex. | [04:05] |
Apocalyptic | I may indeed | [04:05] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform peak chump actually was 2011. | [04:05] |
mircea_popescu | in btc terms | [04:05] |

mircea_popescu | benkay sure, but that was never in question. if I have 5 that owe me 600 btc pay to the same one address, the fact that i can prove i have received 600 btc in that address is neither here nor there | [04:34] |
mircea_popescu | the fact that i can't univocally resolve their claims is the problem, and decoying it doens't breed confidence. | [04:34] |

benkay | lawd ahmighty | [04:37] |
mircea_popescu | benkay no no it's like this : | [04:37] |
mircea_popescu | reports surfaced that they showed the same deposit address(es) to multiple users. | [04:37] |
mircea_popescu | those people sent btc there. | [04:37] |
asciilifeform | this, for some reason, inescapably reminds me of the folks who sell the fake piss to dope aficionados | [04:37] |
mircea_popescu | the fact that they can show that some btc made it there is not relevant. | [04:38] |
mircea_popescu | the fact that they can't apportion the sent btc to the various users is the problem | [04:38] |
BingoBoingo | asciilifeform: The way to reduce piss test fraud is to give portions of the tested at times asparagus and other times no asparagus | [04:38] |
mircea_popescu | somehow nobody picked on "hey, one address per transaction has its issues as a model" as a result, either. | [04:38] |

The kid allowed that this was true. “You probably talked to CVS—everyone talks to CVS. And they thought it | [05:19] |
benkay | the best thing since sliced cheese, but they were never willing to buy it.” Again the kid said yes. “Then you realized that anything you’re doing that has to be regulated, like making medical recommendations, requires FDA approval.” By now the kid was demanding to know how Stamos had guessed all of this. “You see these gray hairs?” he said. “It’s the classic model everyone goes through.

asciilifeform | - That's what they used to call servants who fetched wine. They had big lists of wines, from which gentlemen could choose. And later, this is what they started to call people who dealt in what was once considered creativity. | [05:27] |
asciilifeform | - Why? | [05:27] |
asciilifeform | - People had already devised all necessary things. Once, long ago, mankind developed in leaps and bounds - not only did the objects around us change constantly, but so did the words we used. In those days there were a great many names for a creative person - engineer, poet, scholar. And all of them constantly invented new things. But that was mankind's childhood. And then it reached maturity. Creativity did no | [05:27] |
asciilifeform | t vanish - but it was reduced to choosing from that which had already been created. Figuratively speaking, we no longer grow grapes. We send for a bottle from the cellar. People who carry out this task, we call "sommeliers." | [05:27] |

asciilifeform | the way it was explained to me, by one wretch, is that many folks who refuse to use ordinary banks do so because they were hounded by creditors (ordinary ones, and government alimony collectors) | [17:07] |

ThickAsThieves | http://pando.com/2014/03/26/oculus-rises-to-a-2b-exit-while-its-kickstarter-backers-are-left-with-cheap-swag/ it's interesting to think how regulation has actually created a situation where investors can be totally removed from any interest in the company they effectively funded | [19:24] |
ozbot | Oculus rises to a $2B exit while its Kickstarter backers are left with cheap swag | PandoDaily | [19:24] |
ThickAsThieves | oculus gets $2m to create their thing, sells out for $2b | [19:25] |
ThickAsThieves | investors get a gizmo | [19:25] |
benkay | i thought that was the whole point of kickstarter. | [19:25] |
ThickAsThieves | this event puts it into real perspective though | [19:26] |
Duffer1 | i believe that's more an effect of a consumer mindset rather than a common sense mindset that would naturally want equity instead of swag | [19:26] |
ThickAsThieves | sure, all the investors know what they got into | [19:26] |
benkay | yeah but fartup equity is usually worth zero anyways | [19:26] |
ThickAsThieves | and can only expect their gizmo | [19:26] |
benkay | a toss up as to which is better value: likely worthless paper vs. entertaining gizmo | [19:26] |

ThickAsThieves | Oculus* | [19:27] |

Duffer1 | nope | [19:31] |

rithm | WHAT IN THE FUCK CAPS LOCK OH shit kids can't breathe in a vaccuum they turn dead | [22:44] |
mircea_popescu | metaphorical kids, metaphorical vacuum, metaphorical breathing. | [22:44] |
asciilifeform | rithm: understand 'breathe vacuum' as 'steal enough for a plane ticket and move to afghanistan' | [22:45] |
rithm | if you had a jar and closed and sucked all of the air out | [22:45] |
rithm | and you would call that a vacuum | [22:45] |
rithm | but I would say nothing separates the jar | [22:45] |
mircea_popescu | rithm if you took the average 16yo and paradroped them naked anywhere in the world, | [22:45] |
mircea_popescu | they would live to be 18. | [22:45] |
mircea_popescu | if you took the average 60 yo and paradropped them naked anywhere in the world, they would not live to be 65. | [22:45] |
rithm | you give them 2 years | [22:45] |
rithm | after being naked and alone | [22:45] |

asciilifeform | mircea_popescu: picture moving an average (male) u.s. suburban kid to... anywhere | [22:46] |
rithm | the old people similarly will need drugs to survive | [22:47] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform he'll be fine. | [22:47] |

mircea_popescu | byt the time he's 50 however... he can no longer be fine. no matter what. | [22:47] |
