Mon Mar 14 23:38:09 UTC 2016 <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.

Tue Mar 08 18:12:26 UTC 2016 <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.
Sat Mar 05 21:12:36 UTC 2016 <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.

Tue Feb 02 15:19:50 UTC 2016 <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.

Sun Jan 24 22:07:56 UTC 2016 <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."

Sun Jan 03 03:49:36 UTC 2016 <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.
Wed Dec 30 21:37:39 UTC 2015 <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.
