punkman: I don't particularly care since I don't live in Tuvalu or wherever
mircea_popescu: and this is incidentally why i said earlier that they are not a business in the first place. it doesn't fucking matter what "others think". others don'tthink, others bray. thinking is above. and the thinking is, it takes two days for them to lose half the userbase that matters.
mircea_popescu: how the fuck should i know, and what difference does it make you don't.
asciilifeform: i don't see the inevitable dichotomy between 'world flooded with shit' and 'arbeit macht frei'
assbot: Logged on 21-03-2015 23:41:48; pete_dushenski: i really don't know any other german speakers with whom to converse
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-03-2015#1063080 << i honestly don't give a shit about those 1000tb. for very similar reasons as ^ ☝︎
cazalla: felipelalli, also i don't place much faith in how they identify people, a driver's licence, electricity bill.. worth just as much as newly created wot identity with no feedback.. plus the sort of person who needs to borrow $500 is the sort of person who would lift things such as a drivers licence from parents/friends/partners wallet anyway
assbot: Logged on 21-03-2015 23:04:58; trinque: asciilifeform: I have long wanted a system where member nodes can all publish wads 'o gpg stuff, peers don't know the contents of the wad, give each-other redundancy
cazalla: felipelalli, if you only use it to borrow, i don't really see the problem with you using it, but i'd never lend
mircea_popescu: sadly i don't have the patience or the tools to actually get into the microchemistry of it
felipelalli: ben_vulpes: I thought it was a global problem, but I learned here that: 1) there are rich guys (you guys) that really don't care about it. 2) there are guys with rich friends :) 3) your interest rate are ridiculous cheap. BTCJam really don't solve anything to you.
pete_dushenski: i really don't know any other german speakers with whom to converse ☟︎
trinque: I don't buy that such overtly, cynically powerful entities have not a single functioning brain within
decimation: I don't buy that there is a meta-google
trinque: asciilifeform: I have long wanted a system where member nodes can all publish wads 'o gpg stuff, peers don't know the contents of the wad, give each-other redundancy ☟︎
trinque: PeterL: depends on licensing I guess; I don't have the bankroll to get into any copyright battles for anyone
trinque: asciilifeform tells me there are no trustworthy components with which to re-do the garage build, and I don't doubt him
ben_vulpes: i honestly don't even know how to build a workstation.
nubbins`: we don't, i've got a passing interest
nubbins`: i don't know how simpler to put it
mircea_popescu: i understand what you are saying, and i also understand why it's stupid. you have the option to pretend like you don't see it, or not. nothing i can do thar.
mircea_popescu: Adlai didja eat dumb this morning ? i put 100 btc on one side, of your taint, and 100 btc on the other side, you don't know about. if one wins now you've gotta taint 2x as manby btc, if the other wins you lost track.
mircea_popescu: there's a lot more of them. I don't think some spectacular security hole
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla i don't get it, is the french govt running an isp ?!
assbot: Logged on 20-03-2015 21:10:47; felipelalli: mircea_popescu: Where can I find objective arguments against BTCJam? As a lending service and reputation system? And what are the alternatives for P2P lending or we don't have? They have 113,000 users, should they be ignored?
asciilifeform: incidentally, my (i don't exclusively claim it..) myelin impedance matching hypothesis - is testable.
mircea_popescu: honestly i don't think this has ever been different.
decimation: asciilifeform: I don't get why we don't still use the guillotine
nubbins`: if i wanna see a card trick, i don't want you to hold the deck face-up
nubbins`: this is all the sort of thing i understand while reading it but don't really copy it over to long-term storage
danielpbarron: i don't think i've seen that movie
mircea_popescu: "o look, the usual crutches i use to hide my idiocy don't work, now it's nude on display".
danielpbarron: i don't need fancy thingys; just the whole NKJV text pocket sized with a zipper so the pages don't get messed up when i travel with it but w/e my KJV works well enough
danielpbarron: i don't understand what i'm looking at
danielpbarron: that also has the "references" B.S. which I don't need -- I'd rather have the NKJV alternate transation footnotes
felipelalli: I was trying to convince him that don't let the users choose the interest rate is not a good idea.
danielpbarron: well i don't necessarily want to design one, but if that sounds like something the other qntra writers would want, I'd like a stack of them with my name on it if that's ok
felipelalli: mircea_popescu: Where can I find objective arguments against BTCJam? As a lending service and reputation system? And what are the alternatives for P2P lending or we don't have? They have 113,000 users, should they be ignored? ☟︎
trinque: oh we're fucked; I just don't expect that the men in black are coming for me because I said I like bitcoin
mircea_popescu: i don't think any human population can be stable with lifetimes averages < 30.
assbot: Logged on 03-03-2015 09:14:51; mircea_popescu: i don't think anyone in the wot ever actually starves.
jurov: btw i don't get how would such data mining work.. someone would have to collect all the information first
danielpbarron: i don't doubt your physical hiding abilities
danielpbarron: i don't except with very close associates and even then i'd really rather not
mircea_popescu: i don't do so much frying myself.
mircea_popescu: i don't recall if i ever had macadamia oil or not, either.
assbot: Logged on 19-03-2015 20:22:56; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-03-2015#1057738 << it is. people (especially people kinda too lazy to study things in depth) have all sorts of theories about privacy and keep pestering me for special addresses etc. it's a fashion is what it is, one i don't aim to encourage, and i'm stuck because w/e, serving teh customer.
trinque: other than that, I don't know that the US is producing a lot of worthwhile art
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hey, i don't own there.
mircea_popescu: i gues tptb don't see fiber in the future of america.
mircea_popescu: decimation i don't think anyone seriously considers that entire "simulation as life" thing outside of fiction.
mircea_popescu: uh. i don't think so.
mircea_popescu: i don't get the argument tho, why is superai of the future influenced by ruminations of humans today
poli_: and I don't mean 'impeached', I mean 'cease beingr president', but whatever means fate happens to employ.
mircea_popescu: i don't get it. why would anyone care about some simulation ?!
mircea_popescu: i love these scientists that don't even bother putting magic numbers in the code anymore.
trinque: I don't know much about rousseau, except that I recall him being mentioned by someone who was arguing bureaucracy was the greatest of all human inventions, and this with utter seriousness
cazalla: anyway i don't need this aggravation, had enough of it today
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i don't intend to bring the cardboard
midnightmagic: Also, I don't know much about FreeBSD except they caught their shitty /dev/random mistake before it was released to production
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic i don't think anyoine's using them anymore seriously.
ascii_field: jurov: notice that i don't live in ru, and nobody's inviting me over. but i happen to see the conflict of irreconcilable civilizations thing, and see the ru version - with the orc barbarism, yes - as less moribund

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-03-2015#1057881 << generally the correct strategy is "never compete in saturated markets". which is why i don't date, i don't vc, i don't business school etc. ☝︎
danielpbarron: I'm sorry, maybe I don't understand where you're coming from, but why are you quoting Mircea Popescu? I admit I have not read this entire thread, so maybe there's a reason... but I don't see what value there is to quoting an insane, misogynistic, racist drug addict here? The guy has shown time and again that he has no idea what he's talking about and everything he has ever done in his life is complete garbage (just going by
jurov: why do his worldview does bother me so, i don't know
mircea_popescu: what, it's secret, i don't get to see it ? only the choice alfs ?
mircea_popescu: jurov maybe i don't ?
mircea_popescu: jurov i don't recall what the positions were there, was it the pro-russians saying the pro-nato downed it with a jet, and the pro-nato saying the pro-russians took it down with a buk ?
mircea_popescu: i don't happen to share that view.
mircea_popescu: i surmise you don't use it in the christian sense, but what do you mean by it ?
mircea_popescu: and i don't intend to give them THAT easy way out either. let em fucking work for their keep. what, keep me in prison for fifty years ? cool.

ascii_field: what i don't get is why they even bother signaling intent to do this with 'laws'
danielpbarron: i don't have many original ideas
danielpbarron: i don't know what i would blog about
mircea_popescu: when confronted with stuff such as, you know "quite a few 'civilians' don't believe me when i explain that the 'publishers' do not edit, or - in most cases - even typeset the submissions; and that not only do authors receive no royalties, but often -pay- page costs"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: but even if it were true - still a joke. picture, full year's embargo. << i actually don't see much of a problem with this. most "science" is worthless anyway, i currently don't read it if it's less than a coupla decades old on general principle. a year's embargo wouldn't do anything.
asciilifeform: quite a few 'civilians' don't believe me when i explain that the 'publishers' do not edit, or - in most cases - even typeset the submissions; and that not only do authors receive no royalties, but often -pay- page costs
decimation: yeah, and even then I expect all of those words don't mean what you think they mean
ben_vulpes: clearly i don't understand the term of art.
coinking: no I don't
ben_vulpes: mk well i've got my intel applied to 'milongas that don't mind shitty enthusiastic gringos too much' and also 'milongas where i should just sit and watch' as backup so i'm not terrifically concerned.
BingoBoingo: <decimation> BingoBoingo: I don't mind python, but realize it's just kind of a c with lisp ideas thrown in << I'm just looking to populate a toolbox.
decimation: BingoBoingo: I don't mind python, but realize it's just kind of a c with lisp ideas thrown in
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i suppose they don't do those statesides ? << Only for the cool virgins
mircea_popescu: i suppose they don't do those statesides ?
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> and i assume that crystalspace won't build on openbsd? << Don't see how it could be much worse than bitcoin-qt, which is why I am severely undrqualified for this
ben_vulpes: i don't see why not either
mircea_popescu: i don't see why not ? c is c.
mircea_popescu: "here's how stupid i was and here's what you could learn from it : don't EVER go with the libertard ideology, ever."
danielpbarron: i don't know about thermal paste, but it's not like i can just pop off a panel and swap the drive
cazalla: pete_dushenski: it's in melbourne at the central train terminal <<< they've slowly chipped away at that place, replacing the old with the new, personally i don't see it as anything special, stench of stale piss surrounds it
mircea_popescu: in fact, they don't even have the vague approximation of a stalin where a guy says to his golddigger harpy "if you fuck another black man i'm going tyo hung you both by your toes, and if you struggle i won't let you go", and then does it when she fucks another black guy.
mircea_popescu: if they don't let THEIR boys rape and i do, when it comes to war my boys will rape their boys and that's that.
pete_dushenski: ya, i don't suppose dinos sweated
mod6: for some reason, the only person built it on x32, and it didn't work. and I don't have time to work on that.
mod6: it'd would be cool, when i give you guys a link, if you could pull it down, and build it. (if you have a linux x64 machine, if not, don't bother)
mod6: *nod*, yeah i truthfully don't know much about the entire pogo thing.
mod6: I still don't follow.
