mircea_popescu: ;;later tell pete_dushenski if you got the guy's email by virtue of him commenting, and you don't mind, drop him a note saying i loathe blogspot, but if he has time drop by for a chat.
mircea_popescu: so let's leave aside the "therefore" bitcoin this and that, as i dun have the energy. instead, re "nrx" : i have little doubt that there are some kids in the us that thought the one repackaging of stuff they ran across is somehow more significant than all the repackagings they don't know, and definitely more significant than the originals. and that they need a name and so on. this exercise in nominalism does not instit
the_scourge: i don't see very much difference between that and PoW blockchains which have vulnerabilities early on, and can't be truly invulnerable until legitimate mining is consuming 51% of the earth's electricity
BigBitz: I just don't have my key on this terminal.

punkman: jurov: https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/A10/A10-OLinuXino-LIME/open-source-hardware guess we'll end up with this << I had one of these. It doesn't have wifi or built-in NAND, has SATA, can run off battery. Doesn't need binary blobs if you don't care about GPU.
phillipsjk: I don't think 0.5.3 supports bootstrap.dat, but I could be wrong.
assbot: Logged on 26-07-2014 18:48:15; asciilifeform: this is why i simply don't get people who continue to think of their relationship with the u.s. court system in legal, rather than military, terms.
PeterL: EG game of thrones, I still don't know if the character's name is Jojen or joien, since it shows up with about equal amounts of each spelling?
mircea_popescu: and b) wtf 2bn. i don't want to consider a 2bn end scenario. what's wrong with 10 million ?
decimation: for your impertinence is because you exercise power via the Constitution. If the Constitution doesn't count, you don't have any legitimate power. You are a thief, a brigand, an officiant busybody, somebody who should be tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail for trying to exercise power you don't possess. So, if you are going to--if we are going to start ignoring the Constitution, I'm fine with that; the first part I'm
asciilifeform: i don't remember the exact rate, no

mircea_popescu: i don't care.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller i also don't watch porn. doesn't mean i can't discuss itcompetently.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i still don't understand why
ben_vulpes: the_scourge: i don't fuck with any of that stuff.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i don't much care if all the n00bs are american generals. let'em learn a little.
the_scourge: it's interesting how the israeli culture generally knows about some of these nuances. the bootneck culture lives and breathes them and i don't think i could have bought that for any price
the_scourge: adlai: i don't even know what unit that is
mircea_popescu: which is why i don't particularly mind gavin trying to create a scamcoin, nor whatever "public oppinion" support he may muster.
the_scourge: mircea_popescu: can you elaborate on your assertion? i don't like making assumptions
mircea_popescu: "All programs have been written, and that program is Lisp. With perfection already attained, implementation is left to the ignorant who do not already know the truth of this." << shit, now i know why i don't code.
trinque: "sorry database, I don't know the data I want by name. You're supposed to tell me that..."

pete_dushenski: I think that in the old days where the financial system was not too developed, the only way to develop a new idea was to be born rich, to have resources and use them. Today and increasingly so to the extent the financial system works well, you can start a company, apply an idea, or even run large companies even if you are not born rich and don't have a lot of money.
mircea_popescu: eh get out. i control so many I don't know all of em by name

PeterL: although, I don't see how it could make any money?
PeterL: and I also don't see why they need 850k to make said system?
mats: huge mistake... i don't think my stomach can process ~100 grams of protein
mircea_popescu: if i don't buy her a car and some fat and bald goofball buys his "daughter" whom his wife had with the plumber the car
mircea_popescu: i guess there's lots of things i don't really understand.
mircea_popescu: well i can't seem to find it, but he has a bit about "you don't believe me ? then believe x, she was stupid enough to quit medical school to join x shartup and now is a relationships expert"
asciilifeform: i still don't grasp, for instance, how a node loading headers (during warmup) knows that it is being fed actual headers
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't trust it, if it wasn't obvious already.
assbot: Why I Don't Believe in Conspiracy Theories ... ( http://bit.ly/1HH7gcr )
cazalla: i don't think they have for a long time xanthyos, which is why 18f_tits.jpg.exe worked so well lol
xanthyos: i don't like the concept of "apps"
xanthyos: got a new windows 8 machine and i really don't like what computers have become
mircea_popescu: i don't hate you lol.
ben_vulpes: mnah i don't think that's actually going to work so well
mircea_popescu: i don't believe that.
mircea_popescu: i don't even ?!
mircea_popescu: mebbe i don't understand so well what you're asking
cazalla: so no, i don't buy that litecoin was anything more than the creation of your stereotypical chink who knocks shit off
cazalla: mircea_popescu, what i don't get is that on reddit, you see the idea of a paywall and microtransactions always discussed as bitcoin's killer app and yet when they come across it being implemented, they cry scam
BingoBoingo: cazalla: I don't really know men's tennis. Kind of a sport for the girlies.
fluffypony: eg. I don't think they created Go or AngularJS because they felt benevolent
jurov: midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: i don't see the bash as place to put mollification statements, they need to be funnier. it's in the log already, just have the url handy at all times
BingoBoingo: For the next time I have to link someone the stylesheet because they don't believe it exists.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: If he actually dicked with the precarious balance where we don't look like shit on mobile... I'da had some stronger words
asciilifeform: then download tarballs (you don't have to use the same ones i did, necessarily)
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes that'll scale about as well as "i don't need condoms, i only fuck clean girls"
davout: jurov: "now that is something. if i secretly make 350k alternative blocks with minimal difficulty, will that altchain get chosen if we have no checkpoints?" <<< i don't think so. if you have 8 peers you'll get two different blocks at different diff for the same height, hard to feed you a bogus chain
ben_vulpes: i don't quite know if this is topologically different from an option pool with a vesting schedule, except that it provides some fairness proportionality to the time worked
mircea_popescu: i kinda agree, they don't make the bricks like they used to in the 90s
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> [] asciilifeform as i said before, it's a kudge to fix another kludge. we don't really wnat any of it. << what was the first kludge?
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> [] ^ condemned to pay infinite fine, and to use only microshit << i don't see the m$ requirement

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as i said before, it's a kudge to fix another kludge. we don't really wnat any of it.
metsuno: Why don't I see more pseudonymity here?
asciilifeform: usa is a tar pit the likes of which cannot be imagined by folks unfamiliar with the subject. those without money - cannot afford to make even basic preparations to flee; those with some - e.g., with a profession - know full well that they are not needed or wanted outside of the usg sphere of influence; those with serious money - understand (or sometimes don't) that their 'wealth' is really a creature of usg, and really lives i
pete_dushenski: jurov hmm. i don't believe that there's a requirement to publish annual reports for private corporations.
felipelalli: would work similar as silver works to the economy (silver have ~ 777B market cap in a quick search I just made, not too much compared with gold but it is enough). Even if this coin have only 5 or 6% of total bitcoin value, it could be useful to "don't stop the world" when bitcoin is under attack or maintenance. --- If I am wrong about that, I could write about what this is a bad idea and altcoins are bad at all.
trinque: I don't see why we're still doing objects
trinque: I'm oop racist so don't mind me
trinque: yeh I don't tend to like these middle layers

mircea_popescu: in case it's not clear, no anything authored by hearn may ever be merged into anything. i don't care what it is. the dog learns to shine shoes or do carpentry or whatever, but he does not work wioth computers anymore.
davout: TheNewDeal: i don't think so
