(trilema) nubbins`: on that, we can agree
(trilema) nubbins`: well, how big are they?
(trilema) nubbins`: a 10 year old, for that matter?
(trilema) nubbins`: what's a 5 year old gonna do to stop an attacker?
(trilema) nubbins`: the way you say that, i don't think you've ever tried to teach anything to a 3 year old
(trilema) nubbins`: ThickAsThieves: crash? what crash? ;|

(trilema) nubbins`: not sure of the exact numbers, but the price of a shirt was roughly 2x today's price when that was happening
(trilema) nubbins`: ^ for a while there, t-shirts REALLY weren't free
(trilema) nubbins`: and i mean, i get shirts wholesale, but they're still not free, ya know!
(trilema) nubbins`: i'd likely have lost my shirt in some other manner
(trilema) nubbins`: hmm, you've got a point
(trilema) nubbins`: losing money makes you learn quickly.
(trilema) nubbins`: which is really the best i could ask for, given how many times i've lost my shirt on poor investments
(trilema) nubbins`: it turns out that if i had just done nothing with my btc, i'd be in exactly the same financial situation as i am today
(trilema) nubbins`: anyway, i did some math the other day
(trilema) nubbins`: *cough* good enough
(trilema) nubbins`: my first btc cost $16, and i smoked it
(trilema) nubbins`: better done if i hadn't won and lost several fortunes in that period of time
(trilema) nubbins`: bitesak: greedy!
(trilema) nubbins`: can't even imagine what a box of kraft dinner costs ;)
(trilema) nubbins`: it's quite a price for two, really
(trilema) nubbins`: just a matter of how close you can get your horseshoe to the stake
(trilema) nubbins`: but i don't think it would be a bad idea, short-term
(trilema) nubbins`: i'd normally be really stressed out about buying btc at 225

(trilema) nubbins`: i got an email about it the other day
(trilema) nubbins`: bigcartel is beta-ing direct credit card payments right now
(trilema) nubbins`: although if you wanna be fair you'd have to include exchange fees
(trilema) nubbins`: i think SR was a straight-up 10?
(trilema) nubbins`: that's why everything is so goddamn expensive on ebay
(trilema) nubbins`: ebay+pp = 13%
(trilema) nubbins`: they make a lot through ebay fees
(trilema) nubbins`: breaking news: ebay to acquire bitcoin
(trilema) nubbins`: ltc: to the hill!
(trilema) nubbins`: you'd get at least a few whitepapers out of it

(trilema) nubbins`: your chinese takeout box has had a badbios this whole time
(trilema) nubbins`: voodoo gibberish, stay away

(trilema) nubbins`: it's art if i publish it
(trilema) nubbins`: everyone else is a robot
(trilema) nubbins`: the years of sharepoint development sucked my soul out, but being forced to move to WCF was the straw that broke me
(trilema) nubbins`: left it behind when WCF started getting pushed
(trilema) nubbins`: ah, i haven't worked with .NET since around 2005-07
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: notepad, even
(trilema) nubbins`: the support community around .NET is just as massive as the one around any other web dev technology
(trilema) nubbins`: and so if something breaks (it will), they're fucked until they figure out how to fix it
(trilema) nubbins`: some random btc-related website likely doesn't have any sort of gold-tier anything
(trilema) nubbins`: see, the thing is: coca-cola can afford to pay for gold-tier support contracts, so they can use .NET and if it breaks (which it doesn't), they have a big red telephone they can pick up to get it fixed
(trilema) nubbins`: there's an "x" in those extensions!
(trilema) nubbins`: hey, asp *dot net*!
(trilema) nubbins`: pankkake: there's nothing stopping that from being a renamed .jspx ;)
(trilema) nubbins`: trust by fiat
(trilema) nubbins`: admin AT BITCOINTALK
(trilema) nubbins`: art by fiat!

(trilema) nubbins`: art by consensus
(trilema) nubbins`: pdftk is a great program
(trilema) nubbins`: you do it like you'd shop for pants or a new shower curtain or whatever?
(trilema) nubbins`: honestly, the concept of going shopping for art hadn't occurred to me until now
(trilema) nubbins`: best cure for anemia
(trilema) nubbins`: i thought we were all mad here
(trilema) nubbins`: "man, this benkay guy must employ someone who has really good taste in art"
(trilema) nubbins`: some of us demand more from our surroundings!
(trilema) nubbins`: in that context, yes, i suppose you'd only have the opinion of the "powerful" on which to rely
(trilema) nubbins`: so you pay someone to buy art to put in your home or office or w/e in order to not appear like the sort of person who would be perfectly content inside a grey cube
(trilema) nubbins`: that's the first thing people see
(trilema) nubbins`: how it reads
(trilema) nubbins`: anyway, it doesn't even really matter what the specifics look like. it's all about layout on the page
(trilema) nubbins`: not sure, you'd have to ask mp
(trilema) nubbins`: although certainly the first time it's been featured in someone else's blog
(trilema) nubbins`: unfortunately, not the first
(trilema) nubbins`: now you know why i leave the drawing to others
(trilema) nubbins`: to a point, perhaps ;)
(trilema) nubbins`: made it a couple of paragraphs in before realizing that i already knew how the conversation would go
(trilema) nubbins`: signed, numbered prints available; bare walls are for boors ;)
(trilema) nubbins`: that's the best representation of our conversation that i could come up with
(trilema) nubbins`: great, gimme an hour
(trilema) nubbins`: wait til i draw it ;)
(trilema) nubbins`: nonsense. you've been talking nonsense with me for like two hours.
(trilema) nubbins`: the length of this exchange implies otherwise
(trilema) nubbins`: you assume that people don't wish to discuss nonsense
(trilema) nubbins`: if i didn't wish to discuss it, i wouldn't. this is great.
(trilema) nubbins`: regardless of a self-appointed lord's opinion
(trilema) nubbins`: unadulterated nonsense, all of it
(trilema) nubbins`: or whether person X or person Y is an authority on the subject?
(trilema) nubbins`: or whether or not art exists?
(trilema) nubbins`: or whether or not X or Y is a criteria for defining it?
(trilema) nubbins`: what's more nonsense than debating whether or not something is art?
(trilema) nubbins`: well, yes.
(trilema) nubbins`: the magazines at the grocery store tell me that kim kardashian is very worthy of my attention, but that's simply false
(trilema) nubbins`: we're all floating in a void
(trilema) nubbins`: oh, but i do!
(trilema) nubbins`: but that doesn't preclude it mattering to anyone
(trilema) nubbins`: it matters to more people if it's an old davinci or what have you
(trilema) nubbins`: so it's art if it reaches an audience of a certain size
(trilema) nubbins`: etsy has listing fees ;)
(trilema) nubbins`: you wanna paint something or write a song, you're limited only by your own level of ambition
(trilema) nubbins`: you wanna air a tv show, you need the permission of your master
(trilema) nubbins`: tv has gatekeepers
(trilema) nubbins`: not the best analogy
(trilema) nubbins`: vague recollection, specifics are lost in the haze
(trilema) nubbins`: it's enough to make your sides ache.
(trilema) nubbins`: after all, what's a bigger beat-off than "i'm the guy who sez what's art and what's not"?
(trilema) nubbins`: but he deceives himself if he thinks he can avoid becoming part of the beat-off
(trilema) nubbins`: if one chooses to make himself an authority in such an arena, well, so be it
(trilema) nubbins`: an absurd, senseless beat-off
(trilema) nubbins`: well, obviously, if you take my view, all art is a bit of a beat-off
(trilema) nubbins`: "absurd" end of that spectrum
(trilema) nubbins`: the entire sphere of art rests squarely on the more
(trilema) nubbins`: of course, absurdity is a spectrum
(trilema) nubbins`: everything is absurd.
(trilema) nubbins`: "this drawing has really grown on me"
(trilema) nubbins`: "hey, y'know, this album is actually pretty good"
(trilema) nubbins`: in fact, it even happens in the other direction!
(trilema) nubbins`: and indeed it does, all the fucking time
(trilema) nubbins`: that could happen without any outside influence
(trilema) nubbins`: i'm not sure we would
(trilema) nubbins`: so you pop into someone's house, point to a painting, and say "actually that's not art at all", and thus it was never art
(trilema) nubbins`: any two people
(trilema) nubbins`: so if it's true, you'll have to prove it.
(trilema) nubbins`: ^ this implies that there's a ladder we're both on and you're above me on it
(trilema) nubbins`: you're a complicated man
(trilema) nubbins`: it's art by holy edict!
(trilema) nubbins`: surely there must be something that makes mp a good judge and nubbins a poor one?
(trilema) nubbins`: as a facile counterpoint, why not?
(trilema) nubbins`: we can also presume that nubbins also has criteria
