think about it... every new human has the same basic needs, but as you keep adding them to the long end of stupidity they don't actually add a full measure of attention. |

TheNewDeal |
bingoboingo, in Arizona right now and it's been lik 40 C + |
00:59 |
mircea_popescu |
so if population is 5 and per capita avg attention ready to be paid 2.1, then you have 2.1x as much attention as needed. |
00:59 |
mircea_popescu |
once the population is 50 and per capita avg attention available dropped to .95, you're short already |

15:46 |
mircea_popescu |
the problem with kickstarter and the shit trying to copy it isn't that it wastes a lot of money, but that it wastes it pointlessly. |

of course, actually wasting money is a net positive for the us system. |
15:47 |
mircea_popescu |
in that it deflates the bubbles. |
15:48 |
mircea_popescu |
the most important economic activity in a runaway inflation macroeconomy is the writing off of bad debts. |
15:48 |
asciilifeform |
it isn't wasted 'correctly' though. it ends up feeding folks who ought to have gone hungry |
15:48 |
mircea_popescu |
which is kinda why the headlines read like they did, a few years ago. "x bank writes off y bilions" |
15:49 |
mircea_popescu |
asciilifeform that's the minor part of the binomial. the major part is that it is removed from folks who shouldn't have had it. |
15:49 |
asciilifeform |
the people who did that kickstart, for instance, are separated from their true motherland - the uranium mines - for so long as the money lasts them. |
| |
↖ |
15:49 |
mircea_popescu |
as long as the scammers actualy waste it, rather than keep it, this is financial sterilisation. |
15:49 |
mircea_popescu |
you're looking at it up the river. |
15:50 |

entropy actually flows the other direction |
15:50 |
asciilifeform |
who will replace the uranium that wasn't mined? |
15:50 |
mircea_popescu |
but the reason these derps are on kickstarter and bitcointalk instead of whatever mine isn't that they had enough money and bought their way out. |
15:51 |

<asciilifeform> it isn't wasted 'correctly' though. it ends up feeding folks who ought to have gone hungry // <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform that's the minor part of the binomial. the major part is that it is removed from folks who shouldn't have had it. // wait how is taking the money from people who shouldn't have it and giving it to others who shouldn't have had it either not subtracting a from x and then adding a back to x? |

from a different angle: why no cheap factorygurlz in usa? because the 'candidates' are instead paid to sit and wank |
15:51 |

15:51 |
benkay |
i'm living through a fog of back pain today so forgive the retardation |
15:52 |
mircea_popescu |
whereas group 2 just spends it, therefore merely wasting resources. |
15:52 |
mircea_popescu |
consider group 1 of 50 idiots who "invested" with pirate, thus creating for me the problem of there existing a pirate, something im still dealing with. |
15:52 |

vs the 50 idiots who bought pizzas and lost wallets and whatnot. |
15:52 |
mircea_popescu |
which is the more pernicious iyo ? |
15:53 |

mircea_popescu: aha i recall, you described this lemma in the 'tin woman' essay |
15:53 |

if there were no pirate and no silkroad whatshisname, the usg wouldn't be tempted today by the very dangerous heresy that "maybe it can make it on its own" |
15:53 |

generally, the sooner agents are brought to their knees the less blood gets spilled. |
15:55 |
mircea_popescu |
<asciilifeform> from a different angle: why no cheap factorygurlz in usa? because the 'candidates' are instead paid to sit and wank << false. the cheap factorygirlz in china come from families which have cared enough about them to invested beatings and other very valuable time. |
15:55 |
bitcoinpete |
mircea_popescu: other than just having a mountain of coins and the ability to dispense of them erratically, how does pirate impact you? |
15:55 |

no such thing in the us. that's why. |
15:56 |
mircea_popescu |
bitcoinpete that's exactly it. |
15:56 |
asciilifeform |
mircea_popescu: very pessimistic, but probably true. the inevitable conclusion is 'biodiesel.' |
15:56 |
bitcoinpete |
a ok |
15:56 |
mircea_popescu |
bitcoinpete consider the case of a street where some idiot builds an unstable skyscraper. |
15:56 |
mircea_popescu |
the cost of the thing falling may be 10k |
15:56 |
benkay |
Mats_cd03: how much time would making rest-y interface to bitc take? |
15:56 |
mircea_popescu |
but the cost of everyone on the street insuring against being fallen on ? 1mn over 10 years. |
15:57 |
asciilifeform |
if i recall, this used to be called 'externality' |
15:57 |
mircea_popescu |
exactly |
15:57 |
bitcoinpete |
right. so the energy expending in making the infrastructure robust enough to deal with pirate's hits are severely costly |
15:58 |
mircea_popescu |
that's why you don't let derps build unstable skyscrapers. not because the thing WILL fall, but because the thing MIGHT fall |
15:58 |
mircea_popescu |
which is more expensive than it simply falling. |
15:58 |
asciilifeform |
or, one could say, the cost of a maniac spinning round and round with machine gun is not merely the wasted lead. |
15:59 |
mircea_popescu |
something like that. |
15:59 |
mircea_popescu |
and now y'all are better qualified risk managers and generally speaking financiers than pretty much everyone under 30 on ws. |
15:59 |

this appears to be one of those cases where the cost of uncertainty greatly exceeds the potential benefits of the construction |

the risk that your prototype may not work, for whatever real reason, is one type, and eminently insurable. |
16:01 |
bitcoinpete |
sure, have lots of prototypes.. |
16:01 |
mircea_popescu |
the risk that your boss may not let you make the prototype however, for whatever ideological reason, is the other type. |
16:02 |
bitcoinpete |
ya, can't have lots of bosses |
16:02 |
mircea_popescu |
eminently uninsurable, and the confusion between the two things pretty much the #1 killed of insurance businesses. |
16:03 |
bitcoinpete |
interesting. |
16:03 |
bitcoinpete |
so with pirate, we can't make prototypes because we don't know if he'll say yes? |
16:03 |
mircea_popescu |
uh |
16:04 |
bitcoinpete |
in that we can try to make something and he could arbitrarily crush it |
16:04 |
bitcoinpete |
or not arbitrarily |

no, more like we tell that Columbia girl that the best future for her is on her two knees and with a welted butt in our household |
16:04 |

16:04 |
mircea_popescu |
and stupid as she is, she goes for it. |
16:05 |
mircea_popescu |
two years later, she's working that mfc and wondering "why it all went wrong" |

so a lot of people who got into bitcoin in 2011 and got raped by pirate are gone forever |
16:07 |
bitcoinpete |
and probably worse off than people who got in in 2013 |
16:08 |
mircea_popescu |
well no. most of them went on to "invest" in glbse, be "offended" by mpoe-pr, then "invest" in whatever, |
16:08 |

they're still around, mostly, still derping, mostly |
16:08 |
mircea_popescu |
by the time you're that defeated you really have no incentive left to admit you're stupid. |

so they suck versus more humble, even later, entrants |

mircea_popescu |
"people", ie, nobodies who got in in 2013 got in at a time their meagre disposable income already made it impossible for them to matter. |
16:11 |

so a lot of the heartache of discovering one is poor because one is stupid, not because one never "had a chance" is spared them. |
