a small sample that can get you started with Your Blog. Each subject is also reinforcement for ideas that You can use in your Life. Example .. The Ideas that I give for
a Doctor can easily be modified and applied to another business or Passion. The basics of How
a Doctor can monetize her Blog can also be applied to
a person with
a Coin Collection."
mircea_popescu: "I have and I am continuing to make posts relating to different Occupations and Passions that can Profit and or Benefit from having
a Blog. I will give
a touch of ideas of HOW
a Blog can Help each topic."
mircea_popescu: it's some old dude apparently living in costa rica (which he invented), telling the world truths in centered lines. "Yes, in case you didn't know it Facebook is
a HUGE Blogging Platform and it earns Facebook Billions of Dollars !In fact Facebook generated $217.00 every second, 24hrs
a day during 2013. And they Earned that money from You Blogging!"
assbot: Logged on 04-12-2015 14:59:41; asciilifeform: (does anyone recall the very recent thread re: gcc optimizing away
a certain kind of security check WHEN EXPLICITLY ASKED NOT TO ?)
BingoBoingo: What, my car has
a buggy whip. Not very useful when moving anymore, but might be useful if stopped by an angry urban crowd.
mircea_popescu: for one thing, i have yet to see
a tx that cost 0.1 btc fixed fee, which is what wires cost. for the other, credit cards are UNIVERSALY MORE EXPENSIVE THAN WIRES.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: " but it’s now common to be asked to pay more to miners than
a credit card would charge."
BingoBoingo: ;;later tell bitstein I missed that original piece by Mike Hearn. I see no reason to link it or an archive of in in the Qntra article. Mike Hearn hasn't had
a say on any subject in
a long time. Why should he get one about himself?
phf: asciilifeform: in your pgp version are you getting rid of the whole keyring concept? i assume the switch is to "
a folder full of ascs"?
☟︎ ben_vulpes: ui programmers are especially prone to this, imho because the smalltalk MPI style of MVC and data marshalling through layers is very much not
a paradigm that lends itself to simplicity of code design.
adlai: the fiat gov signing such
a law signs its own expiration warrant, but the average legislator probably isn't smart enough to be reading the logs
adlai wonders whether
a sign of 'Bitcoin Mecca' will be legislating that taxable income must be delivered in local fiat, without actually making non-fiat payment illegal as incentive, enticement, teasing, etc
adlai still things that !s S.MPOE would be more useful in deedbot than log.b-
a adlai would guess that it's
a little early for an RFC, but has no readily available data about the time-in-market for RFCed technology
BingoBoingo: You've never covered anything enough on Trilema. This is
a serious optimization problem.
BingoBoingo: Ah no. I jsut suspected you might be writing
a post. Then when you said it wasn't going into
a post decided to jinx it.
BingoBoingo: That's how USG works, just fishing new Hearnias everytime the dumber power rangers rig up
a fresh truss to pretend the last one wasn't
a problem.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: At some point you are surely going to find occasion to include that amateur whore in
a Trilema. It will be the exact derp to properly explain some other derp who needs
a good shiting on.
mircea_popescu: sort-of how philosophy is studied both historically and thematically. the log is historical, but there should prolly be
a thematic repository
BingoBoingo: adlai: Cliff notes are not reading shakespeare, even if the kid passes the classroom test. Even
a quality summary is at best merely an aid useful for assisting
a thrid or fourth rereading of the actual canon material.
BingoBoingo: Is that getting wrapped into
a trilema post?
adlai wonders whether qntra would be
a better venue than deeds for summaries; it has the advantage of requiring review and implying approval, rather than merely inviting sha256 and best-effort backup
PeterL: maybe? alf and mircea I copied key off net and into file, they show up fine in v list, the other two I imported into gpg key and then exported to
a file
adlai wonders how serene
a republic must get for the first n00b to volunteer log summary deeds... not like anybody able to pay for this would either do so or volunteer himself
PeterL: I think it should have
a different fingerprint for each person, but it is showing the same for everybody
mircea_popescu: anyway. i'm short
a woman currently, so how about you lot get busy making some replacements.
mircea_popescu: you'll sit there on
a mass grave with
a million corpses in it, and alternatively piss inside and go "no defeat here"
thestringpuller: i forgot. sometimes they just sprinkle crack on nigger homeowners and call it
a day.
mircea_popescu: what did you expect him to do, "i am an abject failure that decided to go up against better men, who first warned me and then turned me inside out like
a glove" ?
thestringpuller: oh this takes the cake >> “I want to be in
a professional environment again where people are grounded in some sort of business reality.”
ascii_butugychag: afaik hearn was
a loud, unrepentant 'garnish' from day 1 on stage ...?
mircea_popescu: yeah BingoBoingo qntra gotta run
a piece setting "nathaniel popper" straight.
thestringpuller: that picture is priceless. he could at least have
a few sluts to pose with.
mircea_popescu: he was
a prominent mole, ever since the original forkattack.
mircea_popescu: asshat didn't "become disillusioned", and he was never
a prominent "leader".
mircea_popescu: " Mr. Hearn, until recently one of the most prominent leaders of the Bitcoin project, became so disillusioned that in December he sold the few hundred Bitcoins he had left and quietly took
a job at
a new start-up."

mircea_popescu: "Two years ago, Mr. Hearn quit
a cushy programming job at Google’s Swiss headquarters" << dude gtfo, cushy gofer job.
brg444: [16:45] <assbot> You need
a better WoT rating for self-up. (level 2 with assbot >0)
thestringpuller: So one day, buddy gives this d00d
a pink slip, and replaces him with
a mail proc script.
thestringpuller: there was once
a Ph.D ex-NASA worker employed by my buddy at McAffee back in the day. He built job security around "filtering mail". When my buddy became
a manager, he asked the d00d "What do you actually do?" The guy gave this long obfuscated explanation, and my buddy said, "So we can replace you with
a mail proc script?"
mircea_popescu: and disciplines of the ass, such as being
a sumo wrestler.
mircea_popescu: there's
a major difference between disciplines of the mind, such as NOT BEING STUPID
ascii_butugychag: could i become
a respectable sumo wrestler in the time i take on the train, aha.
ascii_butugychag: i think in the time it takes to even read that page, you could write
a quite respectable v-tron...
BingoBoingo: unexpectedly, to resume it at
a later time, provided the server also
BingoBoingo: Sounds
a lot like ascii_butugychag was always right "SSH roaming enables
a client, in case an SSH connection breaks
shinohai: I'm shocked not
a single person has left feedback on that MP account lol
BingoBoingo: <fluffypony> to
a South African most "African Americans" look mixed-race << What abot DOn Cheadle?
mircea_popescu: code was enabled by default and could be tricked by
a malicious
ascii_butugychag: 'The matching server code has never been shipped, but the client code was enabled by default and could be tricked by
a malicious server into leaking client memory to the server, including private client user keys.
Atomicat: How many assets are listed on MPEX? Is there
a list?
thestringpuller: Atomicat: he value of
a seat on the New York Stock Exchange has been falling after reaching
a high nearly $4 million in 2005 to
a value arounf $2.5 million today. << Significantly cheaper than
a seat at the NYSE
mircea_popescu: right. napoleon got to be napoleon for two reasons and
a spot of luck. the ancient nobility prince here named is one reason, count bernadotte, later king, is the other.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: thanks for the link. french bourgeois life during that time. my what
a time.
assbot: Logged on 14-01-2016 15:24:47; thestringpuller: DerpUnion: bitcoin mining is
a black hole, as in you'll never get the BTC out you put into miners unless you can do some voodoo. Even if electricity cost was 0, you'd still have trouble paying off the miners themselves unless you have direct access to $foundry
mircea_popescu: you are aware that's
a book, written about "how it is to be rich" by someone who was himself poor ?
mircea_popescu: the other kids in school'd BETTER think his dad's house is cool, or else he stands to lose
a lot. so he has
a vested interest in having the sluttier chicks in class over by his pool each weekend, that other kids in better situations don't.
mircea_popescu: in
a sense they're stuck with them. much like
a preppy kid that's stuck with his parents house.
mircea_popescu: "old miners" do what you say in cases such as saudi arabia cutting prices to sink obama's hopes of reindustrializing the us, sure. but note that there's
a strong "god-given" element to this : the saudis didn't BUILD those oil deposits.
mircea_popescu: i don't trust jgarzik's ability to correctly account for
a business venture, for one thing.
thestringpuller: i had
a theory the "profitable" miners (ones that got in early before major difficulty increase vis-
a-vis jgarzik getting first avalon miner and paying it off in 1 month), will drop the price to push other miners offline.
mircea_popescu: the strange with bitcoin is that mining is ALWAYS
a market in which supracapacity exists, for the odd reason that mining is
a ~0 demand activity, which is altogether
a concept unknown in economy so far.
thestringpuller: DerpUnion: bitcoin mining is
a black hole, as in you'll never get the BTC out you put into miners unless you can do some voodoo. Even if electricity cost was 0, you'd still have trouble paying off the miners themselves unless you have direct access to $foundry
☟︎ mircea_popescu: " The domestic textile industry operates in
a commodity business, competing in
a world market in which substantial excess capacity exists." and subsq.

DerpUnion: though that cld be
a long eventually
thestringpuller: I can't get the numbers to work to make mining profitable. I don't see how it would be possible. It's like flushing BTC down
a toilet.
mircea_popescu: and kakobrekla - how about assbot getting
a !seen which returns "timestamp of last successful !v response" ? so as not to have to use gribble's.
DerpUnion: first it was 20MB, then 8MB-8GB, now its down to 2MB, that is like atleast
a 10x change in his "technical position"
gribble: Sent 2 weeks, 4 days, 12 hours, and 34 minutes ago: <Michail1> Need ya to contact me. House fire, and the cleanup crew broke my sign. Snapped off the
A. Do you have another for sale or the 'ACCEPTED' part?
mircea_popescu: heh. so basically most gribble traffic is from b-
a huh,
gribble: Error: "later" is not
a valid command.
Atomicat: Can I register with assbot using
a bitcoin address?
