a market for $100k cars, and this wouldn't take that to make.

a wall.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-01-2016#1370904 << in truth, engine miniaturization has proceeded to the point where this product would be marketable :
a 4x4 "true" SUV with
a pick-up truck option that has
a 2-3 liter gasoline engine with
a gpl add-on (so you can run it either on full gasoline, or do gasoline starting and run on gas) that autoswitches from powering the drive train to powering an electric engine
☝︎☟︎ shinohai: So i just let it chug along. It's running on
a shitty board tbh
mircea_popescu: for applications where the low end of the torque curve is what pays the bills, it is actually worth to generate electricity and run an electric engine rather than run
a straight combustion engine arrangement
punkman: myeah disregard my comment "Our goal is for what3words to become
a global standard for communicating location. At the moment, the core what3words algorithms and data are not in the public domain. In the future, we may release some or all of our source code – we will continually evaluate the business case for doing this."
mircea_popescu: which is why your parents calling you joe is
a fundamentally different activity from the girl at the bar saying "hey stud" or the dudes threatened thereby going "hey loser".
mircea_popescu: strictly the only reason you might try to name things you don't own is your hope to steal
a little.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: hehe check that out, dub got repelled by the antiuniversalist nature of the new democracy. turns out he was right : the citostatic has prevented tumours (doublespoken as "the channel") from growing. it has however not prevented the list of our accomplishments from growing, which was exactly the fucking point. we don't want more people, and we sure as fuck don't want "all the people". we just want
a larger share of ever

mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-01-2016#1370682 << you would think that the fucking idiots making handcuffs would have figured out the importance of all using the same key. but no : everyone uses ever-so-slightly-different plain, rectangular shits. and so because i have
a bunch of various cuffs and because ending up unable to free
a girl happened exactly once... i'm stuck carrying around
a fucking pile of tiny l
☝︎☟︎ assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 02:59:31; asciilifeform: (do we need
a magical flute to make this work ?)
mircea_popescu: as
a sign of bitcoin's progress in the intervening coupla years, the amir taaki v2.0 can marginally spell, and in
a very flat, vulgar manner express himself in writing.
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 01:52:40; BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Yes, but I can only ever name one at

a contract (or serving
a subpoena)
adlai would kill [his reputation] for
a livable career as
a bike messenger
adlai: better yet, rent one, if you live in
a halfway modern metropolis
adlai: buy
a bike, you'll learn more about trading and addiction from not getting run over than you will from losing money on plebian status symbols
☟︎ ben_vulpes: electric drivetrain with onboard generation is entirely the way to go. the train people figured this out
a looong ime ago; "diesel electric".
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> and yes i took
a goon, but who doesn't? << Persons who are their own goon
adlai: drops are best described not as
a coordinate, but using natural language... helps make the system more expensive to game

a goon, but who doesn't?
ben_vulpes: i bought
a car for 6kusd from

a specific case and let's proceed from there
adlai is
a lotus eater and humbles himself before higher powers such as the legends of bias, zeno, jmc, and satoshi

a fully synced trb to poke too
pete_dushenski:
https://map.what3words.com/ << " what3words has identified every one of the 57 trillion 3mx3m squares on the entire planet with just three, easy to remember, words. Every location on the earth now has
a fixed, easily-accessible and memorable address. Unpopulated places have addresses for the first time ever, of course, but now so do heavily populated places like favelas in Brazil where there are no roads or numb
ben_vulpes: danielpbarron: do you still have
a copy of trinque's gentooizer?
adlai notes that mircea_popescu has voluntarily stuffed
a gold bar into one of these, which is quite generous of him; once it runs low, it should really be somebody else's turn to jam the meter

adlai: (and blender, and linux... he's not yet sold on bitcoin, suffering from
a terminal case of fiat-startuptardation)
adlai: more as
a 'lisp for its target audience' than anything else, tbh
adlai: actual quote from meatwot-pope: "if somebody executes
a death warrant against somebody trying to improve bitcoin, i'll fund and execute one against them myself" (don't judge him, he's prone to angry outbursts)
☟︎ adlai is reminded of
a snide remark made behind the back of an aging warrant officer: "your measure of success in life is inversely proportional to the weight and noise of your keyring"

a single key
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 01:14:18; mircea_popescu: for one thing, i have yet to see
