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
ascii_field: used to be
a common n00b electronics project
ascii_field: BingoBoingo: ever use
a heterodyne headphone ?
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: (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.
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)
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
ascii_field: thestringpuller: try building on
a computer ..?
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.
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'
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.
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: 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.
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
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.
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
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
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
