pete_dushenski: re: vaccinations as a barrier to entry for government subsidies for children, it seems to me that parents who choose not to vaccinate their children should be on the hook for any adverse eventualities of that decision, but really only as it pertains to that aspect of their child's health, being the working point for that decision. no polio vaccine for jimmy ? then jimmy gets polio ? then pay up for treatment, no free

adlai: hmm. honestly, i'm not enough of a poker player to tell (see what i did there?) how this extends to card games.

mircea_popescu: that's the thing. education is mere power. stupidity is drive. the two have almost nothing in common.

mircea_popescu: you happen to be the sort of misfortunate fucktard that grew up among idiots rather than parents, and as a result are way too fixated on experimentally verifying this hierarchy thing and way too fascinated by the female "oh may gawd what if i sell myself short".

adlai: re: snr... i realize it's an Unsolved Problem, and in precisely the same way that "racism works", it makes sense to triage text by the mouth it whenced; but "the opposite of stupid is not wrong"
adlai leaves it there. someday if he picks up the meth pipe instead of the tankard, he'll whip together a PoC... or if he found the shot glass instead, he'll find his way to https://xkcd.com/simplewriter/ and tell people how he thinks they should build the system for passing computer money through the words that are said most often.
adlai is thinking not of the day when you can't get your tx to the chinaman, but rather of the day when he can't return you your receipt
adlai: yes, the PGP-w mode.but PGP stego only needs to work for ~2 people, whereas btc stego should work for 21M.

adlai: notice how much mircea hates me... he scratches, he moans, he bleeds! but the thorn - remains.
adlai repeats, for the less-alert lurkers: my +v is a testament to the fact that money can be made on mpex.
adlai: don't get me wrong, there is definite noise to be reduced, aka - money to be made. but the question is more "how much money do you need, to earn back the registration fee before your grandchildren die"
adlai gueesstimates 22 mil btc, but has not yet done the math
adlai: (also, an exercise in financial mathematics, for the truly alert lurker - how many times larger a bankroll than $mpexRegistrationFee-$mpexReferralFee do you need for registration to be rational?)
adlai: they, at least, have not fucked y boxen.
ascii_rear: i thought the whole reason behind adlai getting depressed and taking to dope was that he couldn't get enough coin to properly try scalpel
