mircea_popescu: wtf is wrong with a chunk of fucking bronze, 100 grams or so, for
the inner housing.
mircea_popescu: let
the dumps contain 1000 plastic re-instantiations of
the same god damned object, what if i could afford
to pay 3x
the price and leave it
to my grandkids.
mircea_popescu: now, it';d be nice if you could buy BRONZE interior. not fucking electrolysed, but SOLID. nevertheless, it is apparently usg-forbidden
to use actual materials.
mircea_popescu: apparently it can be formulated so as
to dissolve in dmf/dma etc
mircea_popescu: i'll stand by it :
this
then means
that
teflon is only marginally at best a plastic.
mircea_popescu: o wow look at
that, it's actually done ~in emulsion~. i had nfi.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-09 05:05 mircea_popescu: ruined coffee grinder i had
to import all
the way from switzerland.
mircea_popescu: so basically speaking, for as long as
the women will keep getting pregnant
the schoolteachers will still have work
to do.
mircea_popescu: in any population
the majority will be insufficient, and
therefore readily converge
towards somesuch nonsense.
mircea_popescu: from
this search of "the easier way" by people stupid enough
to not be able
to distinguish
the workable from
the unworkable,
the scam ever emerges.
mircea_popescu: concernedscaling
the generator is ambitious idiots.
they don't "feel"
their current social station is befitting for one such as
them ; but
they ALSO don't "feel" like
they should have
to do what has
to be done.
shinohai: But how else will I know what
the ants are doing?
shinohai: If you need any help or get stuck, ping me or sing out here in chan. Someone will be happy
to assist.
mircea_popescu: why not split work and axiety more evenly ? 100%
to anxiety seems a poor strategy.
mircea_popescu: concernedscaling well... i'd say you have good cause
to be concerned
then.
mircea_popescu: like, a logotron is maybe a day's work
to stand up and
then maybe a hour monthly
to maintain and such.
mircea_popescu: so since 2014 let's say, since you recall keyser, we could say you spent about 2k hours, or a full year's workhours, on
this.
mircea_popescu: ok, but put out a figure. how many man hours does
the concern
take a year ?
davout: "sinking fake bitcoins" actually yields *more* bitcoins
to further sink other fake bitcoins
concernedscaling: You know, it's actually pretty strange. I just buy and hold, but given
the substantial amount of money, I rely on being current with
the bullshit going on, because I chose
to not underestimate
the power of
the idiots and how much harm it can do
mircea_popescu: concernedscaling for my curiosity, if you were
to calculate
the
total hours you spent with " I need
to
take part
to see how
the market reacts"
to date, what'd it come
to ?
mircea_popescu: there have been a lot of
these pies in
the sky
to be concerned about
to date, huh.
concernedscaling: "Moreover, my budget
to sink
this scam exceeds
the budget of everyone involved on
the supporting side"
concernedscaling: I don't want
to underestimate
the dumb money being
thrown around. I dont want all of
these idiot users
to crash my BTC holdings because some fake satoshi is spewing political nonsense on redditard/twitter
to control people.
concernedscaling: a cesspool of ideas and spam, just a
tool for controlling people.
The fighting about core vs bcash vs seg2x vs miners vs blahblah is entertaining. Sad
that I need
to
take part
to see how
the market reacts
mircea_popescu: concernedscaling why not make yourself a pgp key and reg with deedbot at
that ?
concernedscaling: Thanks, I will
try and not get caught up in
the shit
that doesnt really matter
mircea_popescu: old will was right, "the world's a stage". what he omitted
to point out is
that
the hall only goes a yard whereas
the stage goes on for miles. out of
the building, and into
the mists.
mircea_popescu: yes, in
the strictest of senses,
the obscure masturbatory activities of desocialized youths "exist". but
they do not socially exist, and for a very good reason :
they're asocial
to begin with.
concernedscaling: haha, I see. I do remember max keiser, and I see him still very involved in
the bitcoin scene
to
this day
mircea_popescu: conceivably someone somewhere modified his bitcoin client
to read "Hakked by CooLbOy" and recompiled.
this is mutation now ?
mircea_popescu: has
toyota "mutated" or wtf is
the argument here. aftermarket modifications are marginal by
their fucking definition.
the people involved wouldn't be involved otherwise.
mircea_popescu: you ever seen one of
those old
toyota
trucks people deleted bits off so
they read YO ?
concernedscaling: At what point can
the real bitcoin continue
to mutate until something bad happens
mircea_popescu: this is not
the real situation. bitcoin exists. "bitcoin cahs" DOES NOT EXIST.
the various people
that
talk about
things similarily do not exist.
mircea_popescu: you see some labels, and
take out your chinese set, and lay out
the pawns,
these red ones
to label1,
these blue ones
to label2 etcetera
mircea_popescu: right. so
this is also
the problem here : you keep
trying
to make sense of
the situation left after a division by 0.
mircea_popescu: hm. problem might have been larger
than originally
thought.
concernedscaling: Thanks. I guess I am just
trying
to make sense of all of
this, and couldnt find it in
the logs. Instead of bcash forking from bitcoin, what was stopping
them from just mining and rejecting segwit
transactions on
the
the real BTC?
mircea_popescu: the stubborn insistence of
the "reading public"
to read old newspapers is very much
the chief ideological point of
the journalist "profession", as it keeps
them in print.
davout: concernedscaling: i don't
think
there's much
to be said about
this whole "issue"
that wasn't said in 2014/2015
concernedscaling: g it was a fork (it's like Litecoin in my mind, which "scales" as well). But even more concerning is Bitcoin with segwit, and my current BTC on
this upgraded protocol. I have not seen much
talk about
these issues in here lately, is
there a reason for
this? It seems like most are underestimating
the
threat of
this fake bcash and segwit.
concernedscaling: Hi everyone. I'm
trying
to make sense of all
this scale
talk and I want
to keep my BTC safe. My first mistake is probably getting information from
twitter and redditard. We have Dr Craig W going on (and quite convincing) about BCash being
the real bitcoin as it is able
to scale like satoshis vision. However,
this makes no sense
to me considerin
mircea_popescu: i can almost see
the local charge d'affaires, "if you don't get
taller hookers ima have your hotel del ray added
to index!"
mircea_popescu: sooo obama lifted all-cuba ban,
to be enforced instead on a hotel-by-hotel basis ?
shinohai: Likely, so "we gotta make sure and ban you 'muricans from
these 80 hotels, just
to be sure"
mircea_popescu: shinohai did it come alive at night and fuck
their wife ?

trinque: girl and I are looking seriously at singapore
mircea_popescu: ruined coffee grinder i had
to import all
the way from switzerland.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and in other "god fucking damn it", i used coffee grinder
to grind down some clavo de olor, which was so fucking juicy and fresh it ACTUALLY DISSOLVED
the god damned plastic.
mircea_popescu: anything but suck
the cock of your betters, it is
teh modernity after all, french revolution relevant 4evar!!1
mircea_popescu: anyway. mildly amusing
that in 2017 rando still don quixoting with
the same windmills as in 2014. who knows, maybe if he wastes his ENTIRE life at
this, "how he
thinks normal debates work" will matter.
a111: Logged on 2014-08-12 02:19
TimSwanson: Because
that's how normal debates work
mircea_popescu: in other lulz,
the lulzy
tim swanson has a blog, on which he uses
trilema notes, and derps insistently. i'm
taking a bet nobody ever heard of it.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> neither is a
toyota's worth of orcland <<
Toyota's worth of orland in
Thailand will lack any centrality
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> bits of rural costa rica look nice, was briefly looking at chile before i realized i'd probably end up at
the same miserable latitude <<
The problem with Chile is poor internet
transit capacity.

trinque: oughta do it somewhere you can see yourself staying, or do without. or so
the logic goes
mircea_popescu: i say
tis all in
teh relationships. otherwise, ownership is illusory.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-09 02:36 asciilifeform: unlikely
to get
this level of service from orc landlord, unless you're mircea_popescu
