14-03-2016 23:38:09 <kakobrekla> phf you cant have responsibility without liability; no skin in the game - no game. if nothing else, it creates a set of bad incentives. this is how fiat world works and we collectively despise that.

08-03-2016 18:12:26 <mircea_popescu> because apparently i don't know how the world works, and haven't properly groked the memo about how "reality is enacted by convention" or somesuch.
05-03-2016 21:12:36 <mircea_popescu> and sure, you can blame the miners. the problem is - the design sort-of forced this endgame upon them. i doubt most of the chinese even understand ~what went wrong~, in the very faint general, letalone in this specific ~what we did wrong~. by the chinese bible they were being very reasonable and i just don't understand how the world works. ach ach my dear fellow mp.

02-02-2016 15:19:50 <mircea_popescu> which is how the entire world (except brazil) enjoys the benefits of refrigeration, even as there's maybe a guy in a thousand people that could explain how it actually works.
01-02-2016 16:37:27 <mircea_popescu> why. because that's how the whole world was built. and how it works when it works.
26-01-2016 17:18:54 <mircea_popescu> shut up you don't understand how the world works.
24-01-2016 22:07:56 <thestringpuller> Working on a winblowz box is the worst experience ever. I did so for 1.5 years writing JBoss web applets. Everyone thought "Oh you can run the dev environment in windows, well you're crazy. THIS IS HOW THE WORLD WORKS" to which I would revolt saying, "Your development process is insane which is why you spent 2.5 mil bringing in AGILE consultants to reduce your bottom line, which didn't fix any of the real problems."

03-01-2016 03:49:36 <mircea_popescu> <pete_dushenski> seriously, what leader of the free world ? he isn't the leader of his own backyard. <<< generally that's how this "civilisation" business works. you may have the fetish of power if and only if you abandon all power. serve the system as it were.
30-12-2015 21:37:39 <pete_dushenski> "All of this adds up to a multifaceted perception problem for those of us who are operating legitimate businesses that are dependent on Bitcoin. Both trustworthiness and terminology matter." << bitcoin clearly needs more marketing from chuck et al., only then can bitcoin truly succeed as a tool for fiat banks to understand how the world works.
