from the earlier podcast "Again, if you accept my proposition that the object of the museum enterprise is for people to be engaging with art rather than for museums to be possessing art, then I think all of these questions come to the surface, and that they are real possibilities once we understand how much enormous wealth has been accumulated and isn't being put to use." |

the layers of pretense wrapped up in the 'art' market are amusing |

decimation |
because when the san qulot saw the fancy paintings they knew in their hindbrain that they were inferior? |

mircea_popescu |
no, because they had spent their lives with the "you are inferior because versailles" mantra |

If you visit it on non-https it will work. Like I said, they are hard to deal with. They told me "new ad code by the end of May". |

| 02:01 |
copypaste |
Oh yeah, that's a local ad for here. |
| 02:01 |
mircea_popescu |
anyway, if you're getting 7 servers including expensive raid arrangements for the ads you should prolly stick to that deal. i doubt the advertising value of what seems like 15 maybe 20k uniques past 72 hours could support that. |
| 02:02 |
copypaste |
Indeed. And if you want any of the a-ads boards I can do that too. |
| 02:02 |

course, since they seem to just be burning the americas market... maybe ask them if they'd be willing to split it like that ? |

trinque essentially, an application of "bitcoin is bitcoin" is what sunk gavin. they still mostly can't believe it happened, but it did. it will again. in practice, you either implement a broken, pared down version of bitcoin, in which case bitcoin defeats you, or else you implement a correct version, in which case... you've implemented bitcoin. |
