ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: what's the deal with lordosis?
TheNewDeal: currently on the search for a % base graph of bitcoin days destroyed
TheNewDeal: lordosis shows party girl vs mommy status
TheNewDeal: at least, that was the word yesterday
ben_vulpes: well, wife status was the word.
mircea_popescu: lobbes yes, it does.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes if you mean the lordosis ~behaviour~ it's this female mammal response to being hawt.
fluffypony: I thought bird was the word
mircea_popescu: nono, the word is bird
mircea_popescu: stop mixing the codebooks fluff.
mircea_popescu: step 1. set down bottle without looking. part 2. set it down on usb stick. step 3. bottle overturns and falls over, exactly cork down. part 4. nothing further happens.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: in that picture you said you could tell who was wifed, as they weren't displaying lordosis
ben_vulpes: is that a function of having borne young or not feeling hawt?
mircea_popescu: dude. lordosis just like that is usually a pathologic curvature of the spine. teh lordosis ~behaviour~ is different.
mircea_popescu: and the idea was only boring women get married anyway.

mircea_popescu: decimation: Hayden emphasized that the personnel problems are far less significant than the technological ones << well, i disagree. now, from a bureaucrat pov, sure, they generally can fill any jobs they want filled, according to their selection process. this however does not mean they are gaining any sort of valuable human capital.
mircea_popescu: on the contrary.
mircea_popescu: decimation: at any rate it's not clear to me that clowns like Hayden or Alexander would even recognize skills if they saw them << precisely. suppose they DO recognise them, like, "this chick looks like she could suck a golfball through a gardenhose." now what ? the last guy that recognised that skill lost his job.
mircea_popescu: it's the easiest skill to recognise, too. so... not much hope. they're hiring people, sure, but people only google/microsoft/apple/amazon would hire if they didn't.
TheNewDeal: MP, whered you get the idea for the brk-a bet?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform:they aren't rich, in the customary sense - but not paupers. << compare what'd happen to the us bureaucrat pauper vs the russian bureaucrat once someone in a hostile nation put the kaibosh on them. they're paupers.

mircea_popescu: gotta show the world who's boss.
mircea_popescu: more importantly, gotta show the kids what it means to be the boss and what a boss does.
mircea_popescu: otherwise they may end up bamboozled by the nonsense fetishism of pseudo-power the ycombinator swamp is pusing, "in order to interact with power acceptably you must give it away in exchange for the trappings of it". tlp discusses the matter extensively and well.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: ;;google senior executive service pay << these folk get options. whole different story, as bubbles happen 3-5 times in a lifetime.
TheNewDeal: just curious. I was trying to make a bet on MMM on a BTC basis in the past, and it kept on getting rejected. The brk-a bet surfaced not too long after
mircea_popescu: the russian scam ?!
mircea_popescu: well, the brk bet had the major advantage of 1k zeroconf. that has ~0% chances of being rejected.
TheNewDeal: no doubt. I think it's a great bet, and a somewhat ballsy one as well
mircea_popescu: it already paid lulz in spades. buffett held his yearly meet, supposedly "couldn't find any short". just the embarassment of that...
TheNewDeal: couldnt find any short?
TheNewDeal: what do you mean?
mircea_popescu: yes. i mean they claimed to want to invite someone who's short their thing, but to not be able to find one.
mircea_popescu: as far as i'm concerned, when the luminaries of the previous generation are careful to avoid playing you, more recognition is not really needed. it'll come, of course, but it's moot.
TheNewDeal: I am curious to see how confident investors are after his death.
TheNewDeal: I don't know how much he actually does for the company, but he is quite the figure head
mircea_popescu: i imagine about as much as i do for mpif

mircea_popescu: o no, gotta express oneself. here we are after just a few short month on the campus, with something to say on all topics and we always wanted to try the swamp out!
BingoBoingo: Hangovers? Easy way to sit the fuck down and keep quiet.
BingoBoingo: Not so good for paying attention though
mircea_popescu: must be.
BingoBoingo: Then the self expressing sort pass because the professors hangovers mercifully keep them from paying attention to self expression

DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, still trying to figure out the whole listing business, most articles are about buying stock, not listing
mircea_popescu: okay, but what specifically are you trying to do ?
DreadKnight: if I were to list Ancient Beast to get funding for it
mircea_popescu: problem there would be that your putative investors would have relatively little reason to believe you won't simply walk after the listing.

pankkake: Bitcoin is an open protocol for online decentralized transactions. In the Bitcoin P2P network, there are transaction processors (nodes called "minors") and nodes that perform transactions using a wallet. Everyone can be an auditor ("minor") and everyone can send and receive bitcoins, without necessarily being a "minor".

DreadKnight: decimation, bitcoin was mentioned like 3 times in a futuristic tv-show called "Almost Human", key words being "black market" and "untraceable"
DreadKnight: (a few months ago)
decimation: yeah, but the drug-lords listen to their drug-lord lawyers, not american tv
decimation: at least the smart ones do
decimation: this particular lawyer has 'discovered' a new market for his clients
mircea_popescu: it's going to lead to a splendid conundrum down the road, because from the pov of bankruptcy/anti-asset protection legal practice, the preferred avenue would be to declar bitcoin wiorthless
mircea_popescu: and then unwind any asset-protective trade as "without consideration"
mircea_popescu: and just steal the buyer's thing to give it to the creditor.
mircea_popescu: however, this is exactly contrary to how the whole rest of the bureaucracy would like to treat it.
mircea_popescu: but that is a pike to drive in the hydra's eye later on, let's not anticipate.
decimation: quite so, bitcoin will enable a whole cottage industry of tax-avoidance
decimation: in the us it's quite important for elderly to have no net worth on paper, so they qualify for free healthcare

mircea_popescu: or about anything else.
decimation: yeah it's pretty much the same way that people think that ssl websites are the best practice in 'secure' data transfer
mircea_popescu: battery chickens have no idea 'bout pine needles. big whoop.
decimation: I also find it amusing that the most important thing that the bureaucrats & academics start derping about are definitions
mircea_popescu: it's the dubious blessing of being raised in a system, that with the safety this entails for as long as the system survives comes intermingled the complete cluelessness and inability to survive.
decimation: hell, no one younger than 50 in the US has tried to buy a house in the context of greater than 10% mortgage rates
decimation: if this whole winklevoss etf thing isn't a scam, bitcoin is probably going to trade 2-10x in dollars by next spring
decimation: it will be highly amusing to watch the anti-bitcoin derps on wallstreet to lose their shirts shorting bitcoin
mircea_popescu: they can't lose their shirts.
mircea_popescu: they got worthless money in infinite supply. as long as they follow the crowd they get to keep the shirts.
mircea_popescu: so recently some new guy was in here with his old idea rehashed and i pointed out to him it'll never work, and it only seems to work for now, because it's not working yet.
mircea_popescu: anyone recall particulars ?
jborkl: money in infinite supply is the us right now
