thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: there is this comic called "The Boys" where superheroes are just a thing. Anyhow super heroes cause more trouble than what it's worth. To solve one problem the fuck up 100 other things, so "The Boys" are sent in to keep the peace.
I've realized the power rangers do exactly that. Very public displays of "whatever fix", which ends up breaking 50 other things that have to eventually be fixed.
mircea_popescu: so
i'm taking an educated guess : it's because bad math.
mircea_popescu:
i don't need it to answer absolutely.
i just need it to reduce by a factor of 10^20 rather than by a factor of maybe 10^3
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes no,
i get it, you want maximum skim for minimum upfront work.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu:
i have no interest in designing molecular structures myself.
i am mostly interested in simulating the interactions of easily-procured precursors in lots and lots of sims, varying lots and lots of variables in the sim, in order to crap out eg simple logic gates
thestringpuller:
i dunno if this is case, cause not like miners publicize their nodes (or maybe they do,
i'm still investigating)
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu:
i was just saying if miners receive tx's to mine via PRB code then it'll isolate
ben_vulpes: your reports are from a different universe from that which
i inhabit
pete_dushenski:
i thought the whole 'maker' thing woulda died when 3d printing didn't put home depot out of business in 12 months flat. guess not eh
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo:
i've been thinking a lot about proteins lately
funkenstein_: <mircea_popescu> apple is a monopoly in the sense qq.com is a monopoly. you... never heard of it. <--
i was surprised to learn recently tencent was a major player in handling the exchange to fiat-bank segment for e.g. btcchina
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: do you happen to have the link to that classic russian 'chukka' comic handy ?
i can't find it in the logs
BingoBoingo: Oh, no
I mean the transit cables, but even then no guarentee people will care to tap them >>
http://rlc.edu campus runs on poin to point wireless even though near
I-57 and massive cables going from Chicago to US South, because no one has will to tap cables
assbot: Logged on 03-01-2016 15:23:46; mircea_popescu: thought you were smart. You still dumb. If
I want to pound some butt,
I could do a woman.
I’m a bisexual because
I like to get my cheekbones blown out.
I like to get pounded in the butt.’”
pete_dushenski: copypaste: furthermore, how'd you know that
i wasn't an acultured asshole before reading trilema ? not that
i deny the influence, but that's not entirely the point. the point is... how'd you know ? maybe being "mean" (or however you'd describe mp's style) is a cause of hanging around b-a, and not an effect, y'know ?
shinohai: Guess
I'll have to compile trb on tinkerbell linux now
funkenstein_: "The medical treatment of choice for cardio myopathy is a heart transplant, costs $750,000.
I want you to think about that. They get the heart free from a donor, they get the blood free for the surgery from the relatives. They use $2.50 of suture material, and they charge you $750,000 for that procedure. Now 6 months ago in LA when they had the earthquake, they were putting people in jail for 60 and 90 days for price-gouging, for se
funkenstein_: "You can prevent, totally prevent, cardio myopathy for ten cents a day. And if we don't do it, we are malignant dumb,
I like to call it. Malignant dumb if you don't take in ten cents a day of Selenium. It's a waste of your life. It's one of those landmines that you can avoid.
copypaste: oh right,
i forgot that command.
i don't chat here often
copypaste: pete_dushenski: you never seem online at an opportune time for me to tell you this.
i think that you should develop your own style instead of copying MP's for contravex. contravex is a cheap knockoff at best to trilema. no one can surmount the original,
i wouldn't dare even try writing in MP\s signature style.
mircea_popescu: "Digital Group also offered a very wide range of hardware accessories. If it was available to computer users at the time, it was available to DG system owners, and usually first. A users group of the time reported (and
I confirmed in conversation with Dr. Suding) that within two weeks of the release of the Zilog Z80 chip samples, Dr. Suding had finalized the design for the Digital Group Z80 processor card, and had work
mircea_popescu:
i dunno why the muricans don't recognize b's merits. he did the integral expansion which is the actual reason it's even useful.
mircea_popescu:
i dun think the part about how limiting excessive medical procedurizing is the core of sane medicine was at all controversial.
funkenstein_: but
I imagine
I should hold off on exposing you to further of my dietary nuttery
funkenstein_: ascii is right
I sympathize with saifedean and recommend a video "the business of being born"
mircea_popescu: there is something fundamentally wrong with people, intelligent or otherwise, who can't simply come out and say "mp said no, so it can't be done". just like there's something fundamentally wrong with people who can't simply come out and say "
i tried pissing upwind and staying dry - it doesn't work".
mircea_popescu:
i dunno if you were around for / recall this, but after
i singlehandedly nixed the original "block expansion" almost a year ago to the day, they spent A FUCKING YEAR
copypaste:
i haven't seen one mention of the miner defection problem anywhere but b-a
copypaste:
i see. it's all about mindset, and their mindset is all wrong.
copypaste:
i understand. thank you guys.
i can't believe so called coredevs are supporting something which has such obvious problem as defecting miners dumping all transactions that follow the new rules. wtf.
mircea_popescu:
i wonder how many people arguing absurdities on bet resolutions like it happens now and again are actually you know, stranded in an airport somewhere and got nothing better to do until the battery runs out.
mircea_popescu: if a billion people starve because their thousands of btc got stolen by greedy miners who saw an opportunity to revert a soft fork and took it -
i'll cheer them on. that's a billion idiots less, and an absolutely ideal end state.
thestringpuller: yes. and as
I told my mom "We can't have nice things cause there are stupid people who ruin it for everyone",
i think bitcoin solves this problem effectively, but must stay ever vigilant
shinohai: Oh awesum. zzzzzzzzztook me a little longer to get a VM up than
I thought,
I'm in the process of upgrading to new lappy.
thestringpuller: shinohai:
i gave mod6 access to my box for further diagnostics
thestringpuller: if
I broadcast tx and have to use block explorer or god forbid "upgrade" to see it confirm, then
I take issue
mircea_popescu:
i am glad these dudes are here to do the lying so
i don't have to, and with that... good riddance.
assbot: Logged on 10-01-2016 12:40:52; copypaste:
i'd be especially curious how the bitcoin foundation would react if more than half of transactions were using it,
assbot: Logged on 10-01-2016 06:50:13; BingoBoingo: ;;later tell saifedean Re: your tweets.
I am sorry
I can not help you at this time. If however your ketone dependence makes you hit bottom and your life becomes unmanagable, there's probably a group for that.
adlai: copypaste: also check out
http://p2sh.info/ which
I like to interpret as the bounties available to defecting miners, should full nodes let them revert each respective soft fork
copypaste: right, but
i'm pretty sure that script hash transactions are something that has to be opted into, meanwhile "segregated witness" if to work "well" (
i.e. for maximum transactions) would have to be invisible to the user, as in on by default
copypaste:
i'd be especially curious how the bitcoin foundation would react if more than half of transactions were using it,
☟︎ copypaste:
i think they should make a statement on it if it gets into Bitcoin "Core", since it seems to have wide support (but this support could just be imaginary on my part)
adlai: copypaste:
i don't speak on their behalf, but it's highly doubtful that it'll include such opt-in softforks
copypaste: (
i mean thebitcoin.foundation, not any fake one)
pete_dushenski: from mr. reed, who unfortunately doesn't have a comments section with which to correct his lack of 'bahamas' : "
I’m going to move to Mexico.
I swear
I am. Except that
I already have. Well,
I’m going to move there twice. It’s to get away from Hussein Obama."
ith:
I struggle daily to survive and find a way to be free of these people
ith: pete_dushenski:
I am being held prisoner by the Illuminati and can't escape. All day
I try to survive relentlous attacks on my mind from my mother, my father and others who speak to me from the apartment downstairs, and manipulate me by directing messages to me (appearing to be speaking to a caller), in the case of my father, from the living room
pete_dushenski: ith: so what keeps you busy in vernon ? pretty sleepy little town last
i was through
ith:
I think Vernon is an Illuminati support city. Is your aunt a psychopath?
BingoBoingo: <bitstein> it's an interesting idea << It's how
I'm interpreting Pierre's twitter trolling. Anyways it is hard to hold people to what they say on the social media playground of propagandaneering

☟︎ bitstein:
I had one when it came out for about 2 hours. We took it back and got a super nintendo.
pete_dushenski: though
i recall playing with one at the store as a boy, quite an intriguing bit of kit at the time
assbot: Logged on 10-01-2016 05:26:59; mircea_popescu: dude gets caught talking out of his ass - for the third time in an evening only, so
i guess that's not so bad - switches seamlessly to more of the same.
pete_dushenski: and all
i was doing was copying subtitles, and
i was still floored by the volume
mircea_popescu: but ...
i'm addicted to taking the bitchez on nude walks!
mircea_popescu: dude gets caught talking out of his ass - for the third time in an evening only, so

☟︎ mircea_popescu: yeah, totally, something;s stupid because
i'm not good enough for it,
i'll buy that.
mircea_popescu: you know, since im on okcupid about 10 derpy chicks a day go "o,
i know why you're not married, you're AFRAID of it!!1"
bitstein: Yea,
I have these good for nothing canines and incisors.
saifedean: orly? no normal human?
i guess diabetes at 40 sounds grand, then
