copumpkin: but definitely a plan
mircea_popescu: it's pretty good. they do integral poured concrete building here, everything's built like a fucking dam.
mircea_popescu: i think the net effect of half the entire thing burning to a crisp would be slightly warmer walls.
Vexual: you qou keep the requisite amount of climbing rope on hand?
mircea_popescu: im a floor above some shit that's a coupla floors above ground. i could just basically walk out the window if needed.

mircea_popescu: o and half a mile from the city congress
mircea_popescu: my lawyer's half a mile that way, the best sushi in town is a quarter mile this way, on it goes. longest walk i ever have to take is to get to the jooz quarter.
mircea_popescu: mthreat i've yet to try teh mass transit here

mircea_popescu: this place is what new york wishes it were.

mircea_popescu: even the matzah ball's better.
copumpkin: mircea_popescu: reminds me of being in boston
copumpkin: I used to walk everywhere
copumpkin: not even public transport
Vexual: hows the spanish progressing mircea?
mircea_popescu: try getting dumplings without fucking margerine in new york, it's nigh on impossible. fucktards.
TheNewDeal: walking is kind of like public transport
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal why, do you normally carry people ?
TheNewDeal: for a small fee

TheNewDeal: you're banking on them getting the odds correct?

asciilifeform: mk is a snore.
mircea_popescu: i find it very amusing, this tendency of the simpleton to personalise. first, the gods are guys (and some gals), because why the fuck not. then, Nature, has a will. finally, the pernicious working of the democratic/populist press become "jewish".

fluffypony: what just happened
xmj: what?
fluffypony: netsplit?
xmj: What's the best way of trust brokering you've found so far? instilling trust between two parties that do not yet now each other directly.)
fluffypony: depends
fluffypony: if it's transactional, then a series of progressively larger escrowed deals establish historicity
fluffypony: from which trust can be derived
xmj: that works well in an iterative context
xmj: how do you instill trust -right from the start- ?
cazalla: anyone want to buy 10k atc?
xmj: fluffypony: suppose i know you and cazalla but you don't know each other
xmj: fluffypony: suppose ive had a good history of business deals with each of you

xmj: fluffypony: how do i leverage that into getting you two to trust each other?
fluffypony: cazalla wants to sell 10k ATC
fluffypony: I've never dealt with cazalla
fluffypony: you trust cazalla , I trust you, I talk to you about your trust relationship with cazalla

chetty: xmj: it does seem like in non-formal contexts iterative interaction history is the common way xmj: there has to be a better deal// seriously trust is pretty much a function that can not be delegated
xmj: i bet it can

xmj: delegation isn't the part that interests me
pankkake: a good example would be those btc lending sites
xmj: proxying and facilitating.

xmj: punkman: mostly because i work that way
xmj: A tells me they trust B, which makes me trust B through A's proxying (conditional on my estimation of A)
punkman: that doesn't create trust where there is none
xmj: we're not talking about that situation anyway?
punkman: sounded like that to me
xmj: A <trust> B <trust> C. how does B leverage his bonds between B<>A and B<>C to make A <trust> C appear/

assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 9800 @ 0.00081126 = 7.9503 BTC [+] {3}
punkman: he could escrow a fidelity bond
xmj: interesting
xmj: i did not know escrow was the term i was looking for
chetty: I trust MP, if MP says he trusts B, should I trust B or should I do my own homework?
punkman: chetty, the answer is both, but if the trust connections are good enough, you could skip the due dilligence
chetty: exactly, and the crux is the 'good enough', a judgment call
punkman: I'd rephrase that, WoT is an avenue where you do due dilligence. You trust MP enough, you can stop your search after getting the "go-ahead" from MP
punkman: or you can keep going, look in other WoTs, public records, etc
fluffypony: chetty: yeah, it depends on the type of transaction as well
fluffypony: like if the person wants to trade 0.1 BTC I'd risk it based on the mutual connection
punkman: if the due diligence doesn't get you anywhere, then you still have other tools. The fidelity bond is a good one, insurance another... any other good examples?
chetty: fluffypony, a lot of trust is built like that, in small steps
punkman: this is quite common: if C trusts the B->A connection, but A doesn't trust B->C, then C will often "send first" as to eliminate risk for A at his expense.
xmj: so
xmj: it seems to turn out that the way to skip the homework is solved
xmj: within the trust game you just need to deposit enough money with the trust escrow to make the other party likely of investing. you'll obtain efficient outcomes.
fluffypony: oh man

dub: they give lithium in cases of extreme psychosis
BingoBoingo: dub: Not just then, low dose lithium can work well for a person when their brain is just running a little hot.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla ya sound about right
BingoBoingo: dub> they give lithium in cases of extreme psychosis << Also they don't really give lithium much for psychosis anymore which is a shame considering how well it works...
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo stop opposing research and job creating funding in research and SCIENCE and global warming.
mircea_popescu: we're trying to build a great future here and you gotta throw simple element wrenches into the windows
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo stop opposing research and job creating funding in research and SCIENCE and global warming. << I'm fighting marketing. Just because pharma doesn't want to compete with Tesla's 1337 battery factory doesn't mean that there are better uses for those salts than motor carriages and iBortions.
mircea_popescu: psychoactive lithium is not complex enough. progress is complexity, to oppose complexification is to be antisocial and terrorist.
BingoBoingo finds it interesting that in a few years on patent Atypical Antipsychotics will dry up, and the next pivot isn't apparent on the horizon yet.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo seeing how well the current stuff works, they can just patent borax glass and give that to people.
BingoBoingo: Come on, there's nothing more complex than the cascade of mystery meat that happens when lithium displaces sodium in the gap and raises action potential
mircea_popescu: but that's complexity in the wrong place.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, The Last Psychiatrist had all of those wonderfully illustrative Seroquel articles about complexity in the right places, but... Tis off pattent nao
BingoBoingo: TLP's rum fountain analogy in those articles is probably the best popular science writing this century so far.

nubbins`: nice middle-of-the-line cd duplicator is maybe $1500
nubbins`: realistically could charge about 50 cents for the duplication of one cd
nubbins`: which means 3k cds duplicated before i can stop worrying about breaking the thing
mircea_popescu: nubbins` you never answered as to how many you made
nubbins`: for customers? zero
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: Look used on Ebay already.
nubbins`: just happened to be making some cd cases for a band and they wanted discs printed, idly wondering if we'd want to duplicate em too
nubbins`: probably not
mircea_popescu: nubbins` ok, how many do you figure you'll make and on what basis do you so figure ?
kakobrekla: tell em if he orders 3k.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla's idea goes a long way towards that. "3k, cause they're prepaid"
nubbins`: it's hard to say because a lot of bands are doing vinyl or download cards these days instead of cds. ballpark guess, might get 1000 cds duped over the next year
mike_c: and exponential decrease every year after
mike_c: it's like a miner!
nubbins`: well, there's that too
kakobrekla: at this point - might be more $ to be in the floppy biz.
nubbins`: you can also get dupe towers, with one master drive and say 5 burners
nubbins`: they're only around $700
mircea_popescu: horrible business purchase, moving on.
nubbins`: not quite as hands-off tho
nubbins`: lel, agreed
mircea_popescu: nubbins` , hey, it's what you originally asked.
nubbins`: this is a silkscreen printing studio, not a cd dupe centre
nubbins`: just looking for a fresh perspective, glad to see we're all in agreement 8)
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: How many Cd's do they need duped?
nubbins`: this particular job, only 200
nubbins`: i'd say at this point, more stuff is being released on cassette here than cd
mircea_popescu: nubbins` this is like, groupthink. no fresh perspectives allowed here.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` but srsly, if you can get a vynil press you can sell to all the hippies
nubbins`: mp, that's its own craft
kakobrekla: that shit costs serial monies.
nubbins`: almost every vinyl pressing house in canada outsources to this one factory in czech
mike_c: really? shipping is worth it?
mircea_popescu: mike_c easy to fuck up
nubbins`: they do direct-to-metal digital masters with this crazy machine
nubbins`: supposed to be a one-of-a-kind setup
mircea_popescu: it probably is.
nubbins`: name an a-list band, their vinyl is pressed there
mike_c: interesting.
mircea_popescu: the last existing top hat factory was destroyed in a family dispute coupla decades ago
nubbins`: jeez
mircea_popescu: most of the good old shit is one of a kind setups
BingoBoingo: Nubbins 2k cd minimum order I could set up cd production with artisinal hand labeling ~ 8.7 BTC and handle the remaining on a print on demand basis. 6 week turn around for the first batch.
nubbins`: BingoBoingo i don't think many bands here would be into a 2k minimum ;(
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo there exist no indie bands which can afford a 10 btc expenditure on life saving surgery
mircea_popescu: let alone cds
nubbins`: mircea_popescu you forget, this is canada
nubbins`: sweet sweet grant money
mircea_popescu: nubbins` anyway, the only way to do this is, make the whole studio, force-sign the bands, work them like slaves.
mircea_popescu: not VERY profitable, but a lot of fun.
nubbins`: maybe i'll just stick to printing
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well I figured I'd throw a quote out there just in case some "band" has parents with more coin than sense
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo those kids go for mbas, new cars and bumps off teenage asscracks.
nubbins`: one of our regular customers was awarded a $10k grant last year to record an album
mircea_popescu: not shitty "music"
mircea_popescu: nubbins` wow socialist utopia. was the album actually made ?
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: yeah, i've got a copy somewhere
mircea_popescu: or did it work pretty much like kickstarter
nubbins`: it was their third album, first one paid for by someone else
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: The 2k minimum is to avoid the situation where they buy exactly the number of cd's they have friends to pester and need pod cd's twice a month for a decade.
nubbins`: that's the thing about grants, you get blacklisted if you don't produce (a) your work and (b) your receipts
nubbins`: and nobody wants to get blacklisted, 'cause ain't nobody but the government giving out free money
mike_c: "free"
nubbins`: hey, free enough
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I've had classmates with "farm money" talk their parents into covering their Film School, Mary Jane prescription, and subsequent X-mas DUI's. Weirder things happen in fiat land.
mike_c: not so free for the people they took it from
nubbins`: mike_c, our benevolent overlords see it fit that we should be entertained with fresh music
nubbins`: and so we gladly oblige, purse in hand
mircea_popescu: mike_c stop opposing progress and an end to oppression.
mike_c: hey, it's better than how our gov't spends its money..
nubbins`: i mean, really, it's not the band that gets the $10k
mircea_popescu: im not sure if shitty contemporary bands should be given 10k in grants to derp quietly in a corner at their craft or just be medicated worth 10k for possesion.
mircea_popescu: so far neither strat seems to work any
mircea_popescu: canada hasn't had a good musician since cohen visited and the us...

mike_c: "i'm too drunk to list irish problems"
mircea_popescu: justusranvier amusingly, in that case the contract'd be void.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, it'd be an explicit clause limiting such cases, obv.
mircea_popescu: in any case, one generally buys a future if they expect the thing to work well, not to fail.
mircea_popescu: if you buy a future and the thing fails there's many ways to put it, but they all boil down to "you're screwed".

asciilifeform: they're crap, fundamentally
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Yeah
decimation: too much variance in the dispensed amount?
asciilifeform: decimation: two reasons: air is a terrible working fluid (compressible!) making for very poor repeatability;
asciilifeform: decimation: likewise, major problem with 'drool' (actual term of art!)
decimation: yeah, plus when it runs out it will spatter I suspect
asciilifeform: decimation: that is, apparatus continues to shit after pressure is relieved
decimation: yeah you almost want to push it out with water or something, except that would dilute the flux
asciilifeform: air-fart syringe apparatus works for what it was built for - chinese slave gurlz dispensing glue.
decimation: generally in that application you don't care about drool or spillage
asciilifeform: state of the art, it turns out, is 'auger valve' - think: small archimedes screw.
