mircea_popescu: so then the correct statement would have been "it's not clear yet if it'll ever be useful", with which i agree, not "it can't happen".
mircea_popescu: well it's unclear what the fuck it'll be, but it's pretty evident, at least to me, that the chinese ARE trying to erode the whole xilinx tower of ip.
mircea_popescu: do you see where the "oh i know how these assholes are cheating their customers" and "oh chinese have no economic incentive" do not communicate in your head ?
mircea_popescu: look, it's not a value judgement on you. i'm interested in the process.
mircea_popescu: i get it why you think it's beneficial to be narrow minded. get it that this virtually never works to any sort of useful or interesting conclusion.
mircea_popescu: which is the problem with your clue - it is an anticlue, fed by delusional notions of design purism with no practical exposure whatsoever. in meta-world "nobody buys" metallization fpga for miner asic. in real world, it makes a billion dollars in sales over 5 years, ie, more than ~any "proper" chip class.
mircea_popescu: whether you have or don't have a clue as to the economic process involved isn't related to my having or not having one. you can't simply run around turning any statement into any random converse, what sort of javascript is this!
mircea_popescu: this being the problem : those aren't valid substitutes.
mircea_popescu: the bar for having a clue is owning and operating foundry, not being one of the monkeys foundry may at its leisure employ
mircea_popescu: there's no way out which consists of "the world alligning to alf fantasy".
mircea_popescu: look : we keep "having these threads" where you keep sprouting nonsense about how you think the world works. we'll have them until either you give up on thinking you have a clue on these things ; or i get tired of it.
mircea_popescu: yes. but the process itself is cheap, and the chinese will proceed to pirate. as per above.
mircea_popescu: thing is, given the tiny process now used, this is actually not such a terrible approach, for many projects.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in principle if you make "generic" silicone you can then "fpga" it out of metal mask cuts
mircea_popescu: (the astute reader has no doubt long ago figured out that by jiggling the last figure before the _ one can see the rest of any set)
mircea_popescu: a million or two votes should be enough for this entire planet.
mircea_popescu: "resident ; show income of one bitcoin ; or holdings of twenty bitcoin ; may vote"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway ; seems a fine principle, and i see no other available.
mircea_popescu: "Every male person, being twenty-one years of age, and resident in any particular town in this Commonwealth for the space of one year next preceding, having a freehold estate within the same town, of the annual income of three pounds, or any estate of the value of sixty pounds, shall have a right to vote in the choice of a Representative or Representatives for the said town."
mircea_popescu: mass/nh actually don't require citizenship at all iirc.
mircea_popescu: in other words - the us became an orcland during obama's tenure. sad but tru.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes. for instance - i could supply observers, working on this principle.
mircea_popescu: in any case, it's not reactive to this low level "i shall now examine cracks" approach.
mircea_popescu: it's echafaudage. you don't come out with what you want ; you come out with the principle poorly embodied. op protests, you change it.
mircea_popescu: yes, yes, i get it : life is a contest for life, and you have your favourite horse. this is fine. the important point here however isn't so much "what trump can accomplish" but "mp is as far as the internet can tell trump's campaign strategist. because no one other has better proof."
mircea_popescu: it doesn't let randos use your xmlrpc to spam etc LIKE STOCK WP STILL DOES
mircea_popescu: ah, that's a pretty stupid idea in that it kills pingbacks, which are a rather important contextualization tool.
mircea_popescu: well, you're vulnerable to comment flood and to harvester/spammer pairs, but otherwise should be ok.
mircea_popescu: well... in the sense that it doesn't check anymore, yes.
mircea_popescu: now then. what are you trying to get and what did you do for it ?
mircea_popescu: explain yourself vaguely and convolutedly now, maybe that's more practical in your present state of intoxication!
mircea_popescu: and prove for the nth time that... a) nobody reads the "mainstream" media so no possibility of competing in the direct and b) they have no money anyway, nor any interest in any form of reality, so they can't buy anything from you anyway.
mircea_popescu: once they stop being poor maybe they can afford hiring actual experts.
mircea_popescu: the irony being that they entirely miss the mistakes. but whatever,
mircea_popescu: heck, saudi fortunes seem i ntreouble. the us moved to vacuuming up far east private fortunes recently.
mircea_popescu: iirc the last time you used the symbol it got challenged into meaninglessness.
