BingoBoingo: <kakobrekla> by 'expert in neuromarketing' << It's been trendy is USia for about 6 years now. Basically Psychologist who took a couple bsns classes
wyrdmantis: http://xtnodes.com/ <--- a fucking war starting over? ☟︎
kakobrekla: is that even a word?
assbot: snopes.com: Do Some People Have a 4th Retinal Cone? ... ( http://bit.ly/1NoKLKl )
ascii_field: used to be a common n00b electronics project
BingoBoingo: Ah, not in a long time
ascii_field: BingoBoingo: ever use a heterodyne headphone ?
BingoBoingo: And not a single XT block mined so far
BingoBoingo: jurov: You are missing out. Great "Southern" dish. Pull up the peanut plant before the nuts brown and they cook delicious. Just don't keep well green so it a sort of necessarily local delicacy to places that can grow peanuts.
ascii_field: idk about this 'enchroma', but i got the opposite: my 'eizo' lcd panels have a button that selectably simulates two types of colour blindness...
jurov: just a check: what colors are peanuts? a) brown b) green c) other color
mircea_popescu: the sort that sat and fermented for a while ?
mircea_popescu: (which also means "a 20yos time is NOT worth anything")
mircea_popescu: i just told him how to approach a problem correectly is all
mike_c: and come up with a better idea.
mike_c: no! just because you can find a woman doesn't mean you should start popping out babies.
mircea_popescu: mike_c is this in the line of "whether you can find a woman or not shoul;d nopt be the determining factor in whether you start a family" ?
mircea_popescu: wilbns the plantform choiuce is not a crime, i just am a very hateful soul.
jurov: kakobrekla: consider using few other bits to color a text slightly, too
wilbns: wow i'm really having a problem typing. i think the word and type something else.
assbot: Bitcoin is creating a whole new set of problems on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1WzS1qA )
mircea_popescu: and the problem with the children doing things they don't understand goes way deeper. http://trilema.com/2012/bitcoin-is-creating-a-whole-new-set-of-problems/ proplly also interesting.
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: Gotta remember MP only sees about a third of all colors, but the colors he sees are pink
kakobrekla: right now it picks colors randomly each time, had also a variant of making color from hash of the nick. if that is preferred.
wilbns: re: medium, the reason i use that space is because hopefully something i write will be of some use to somehow who can do something positive with it later - if i just stick it on my blog it then i doubt anyone will ever seen it, barring a contextual keyword phrase match
wilbns: ah, yes - that's a good link
mircea_popescu concludes that medium articles with b-a present authors, while not necessarily better, at least provide one the perhaps void feeling of having done something for the future.
mircea_popescu: it is the exact example case you wish for your argument, and it's a pity to not reference it (especially because it connotes not-done-homework for they in the actual know as to the topics you discuss re law and precedent etc)
assbot: Our Emperor, deliver us. on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1flsTlB )
assbot: The death of taxes on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1flsHmy )
mircea_popescu: might as well take a discussion of "dilution is medicine" and write a sci-fi work about how a universe with this would look like.
mircea_popescu: wilbns so outright i see the following problem : you discuss ethereum at the maximal outskirts of what its proponents presnet it as. this is not unlike taking a ponzi schemer's "idea" and pretending it would be a central bank, then discussing how "it regulates financial flows". rank nonsense.
wilbns: mircea_popescu: it's regarding the idea of a hypothesis, theorem, manifesting it self later on down in the line the form of something else, not necessarily positive
BingoBoingo: Heroin addicts isn't a plural of things. It is a singular system
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo they don't drag their lifeless, smelly corpses to a hole and pour anhudrous calcium carbonate on themselves. do they.
BingoBoingo: At least Heroin addicts are, or at least before Narcan were a self cleaning problem.
assbot: Logged on 17-08-2015 18:45:12; nubbins`: it looks like they literally copied the /r/bitcoin header, magic-wand-selected the background, paint-bucketed it blue, tacked on "xt" and saved it as a jpeg
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-08-2015#1240652 << yueah they're going for that entire "we're the new doge - a currency for redditards" thing. which... is fine. ☝︎
ascii_field: thestringpuller: try building on a computer ..?
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-08-2015#1240639 << yeah. a fascinatiuon with this is why every single file on any of the scene participants in the original warez flourish were .rar ☝︎
mircea_popescu: ascii_field "natura" in there is "the immediately observable", not the subatomic. there's a reason cardano rng uses electrons not whores moaning.
mircea_popescu: the fact that life exists on earth is, to me, proof that "fuzzy passwords" are a crock.
thestringpuller: ascii_field: http://dpaste.com/3TMZ0FZ << that's a third of it do you need more?
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-08-2015#1241062 << one of the things i know with great certainty, but cannot formally prove, is that 'fuzzy' passwords are a crock of shit ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 17-08-2015 18:01:31; danielpbarron: https://medium.com/@wilbns/what-i-learned-from-a-two-year-irs-audit-6b02f8bb4f73 >> Consider keeping Dropbox folders on your computer that match up with everything so you can easily reference everything. This way, your most important documents are backed up and ready to share when needed.
ascii_field: this is not a usable dump
ascii_field: but the overall theme of thread from my pov was 'just because you can't quantify a cost worth shit, doesn't make it zero'
ascii_field: not a wholly bad idea imho
mircea_popescu: anyway, i am not prepared to defend this technically. i just have a manager's eye is all.
mircea_popescu: but once we get a sane allocator for pool, like discussed here, you can add the hash.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field for instance : blocks come from the mempool, mostly. when a new block is presented, the thing checks all sigs. but it had already checked most of them for mempool.
assbot: Logged on 17-08-2015 15:31:58; thestringpuller: ascii_field: i thought the whole reason a "debate" even existed is because 90% of reddit's /r/bitcoin is full of socialist who likely own 0.1 btc each to their name and think they are gonna change the world.
danielpbarron is stuck at the "burn a dvd" step
mircea_popescu: when you put it on a juicy derriere
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> the reason nbc doesn't do this is because it doesnt' exist as a market yo. << The do it on cable, call it Univision.
nubbins`: a few people stand around a sack on the ground, figuring out what to do with it. one fatso says "i want to put so many things inside that only i can carry it around!"
ascii_field: ergo a blockchain without the button is inescapably worth more than one with
mircea_popescu: this is a meaningless question. it can no longer be valued.
ascii_field: what is a byte in a demolished (perma-usgized) blockchain worth ?
mircea_popescu: like a bit of plastic to prevent falling cows from pushing it
mircea_popescu: and the sum total of what i said is, of all the approaches considered i've seen, none includes a fucking cap over that button.
ascii_field: my contention was that just having this creates a demolition button for the whole shebang.
mircea_popescu: but it is certainly possible, and byu some analyses likely, that your option is either a) you sell 1 mb at 1 per byte, or else b) you sell 1.3 mb at 1.1 per byte.
mircea_popescu: obviously making larger blocks has a cost, yes.
mircea_popescu: this is nonsense and a broken way to do business.
mircea_popescu: if i sell at 20, will sell 1, and make a profit of 20, and the remaindert will be worth 20k.
mircea_popescu: if i sell at 10, i will sell 10, and make a profit of 100, and the remainder 90 will be worth 9k.
mircea_popescu: if you have a shop, which is your own, which holds a merchandise, which is your own, which is in demand, which is not your own,
nubbins`: i don't think that banging sluts is a thing that someone who is driving around europe going to /incubators/ is doing
mircea_popescu: intellectual discipline is not an academic ideal. it's a way of life.
mircea_popescu: you understand how science is done yes williamdunne ? you form a theory to test. you go test it. systematically. you either come to a conclusion which precludes further testing, FOR REASONS, or you keep on going.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Relieve pressure by ranting on a blog? Sounds like it could work. I'll have another look at the incubators
mircea_popescu: mno, iot' a cost inflicted on the network, at a possible benefit to it
ascii_field: removing this is a COST and is inflicted on node operators for no benefit to them.
mircea_popescu: then write a blogpost to defray your mental costs with it.
mircea_popescu: you either go to ALL or you're not a man.
nubbins`: williamdunne understand this is like "i have a new business idea: an e-business!" in 1992
mircea_popescu: must be at least a dozen in london by now, i lost count.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field this, as a principle, is in no way argued against. it is exactly true. the proposal is that as restrained, it would not be harmful.
williamdunne: Ofc.. but none of them were looking to make friends afaik. There was one person from #b-a interested but that's from a different angle
mircea_popescu: so take stuff with a grain of salt.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i get it. but i was trying to illustrate how allowing anyone to make the sphincter permanently dilate by spending a fixed cost gets you into 'amplification vulnerability'
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Mostly the speculating crowd. Not people from #b-a or anything
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i dun have any objective whatsoever here. i am merely surveying a field.
nubbins`: relaxedman a window what?
mircea_popescu: williamdunne any of them senior regulators / senior officials / anything other than people you met at a conference that hadn't got there on a first class ticket they bought and with two personal cocksuckers and a chef ?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: if objective is 'make a river of meat' then sure. if trying to accomplish something more interesting? not so much
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Eh, while you might think that a fair number of the people I spoke to disagreed.
relaxedman: Still trying to get this gentoo install going(openbsd wouldn't support my gfx card no money to buy a new one) its n6, varia, but stuck on getting a window manager all the guides want me to change profiles. also not sure how wayland fits in any ideas?
mircea_popescu: the reason nbc doesn't do this is because it doesnt' exist as a market yo.
mircea_popescu: "i have an idea for a us tv network - primarily targetting spanish daytime soaps and more languages programming".
trinque: williamdunne: my point was simply that "I could X as long as I find a rich guy that wants to help" isn't much of a strategy, much less so if you can't demonstrate upon meeting said rich guy that you can execute
williamdunne: Well at least I'm not in a lonely club.
assbot: Logged on 17-08-2015 20:07:29; williamdunne: jurov: There is an existing market that is missing a few areas, even within the section that is willing to undergo KYC
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-08-2015#1240864 << ~= >> 'there is an existing market that is missing a few areas, such as anal-rape-with-hedgehog, even within the section that is willing to undergo anal-rape-with-cactus' ☝︎
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: We'd already spent a bunch of their money. It's left them with no equity so slightly stranger
mircea_popescu: trinque there's tons of people who coudl demo a trade engine. including a bunch of people actually in the business, providing all the fx doods etc.
williamdunne: punkman: Had funding, one of the other companies they invested in when tits up and so they decided to withdraw support from all financial services companies they invested in. 10/10. My fault for not securing a deal where that wouldn't happen
williamdunne: jurov: There is an existing market that is missing a few areas, even within the section that is willing to undergo KYC ☟︎
