assbot: Logged on 11-05-2015 16:58:26; williamdunne: MPEx did pioneer many things in Bitcoin derivatives and they deserve credit for that. However, I find it unlikely that an exchange with such a high up-front fee just to participate will ever find mainstream acceptance.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-05-2015#1127949 << i feel the comments are the only good stuff on that reddit piece, which is amusing seeing how they both got 0 votes. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i'm only very marginally interested in this sort of wankery tbh.
mircea_popescu: i didn't know they had rockets fast enough even. wtf is this.
assbot: Logged on 11-05-2015 16:06:41; thestringpuller: i like how mpex is completely ignored in the GPG discussion. "Ignore the guys with the nukes and they'll just go away."
mircea_popescu: what am i, retarded ?
davout: i kindof expected a little pop-up like on the btc-dev mailing list
davout: i get it
davout: i must be misunderstanding something here, i tried in safari, ff, and chrome
davout: i use an apple computer
davout: maybe i need to flush cache
davout: i tried, didn't werk
davout: is it supposed to work on trilema? as in, i select arbitrary text and i'l given a URL reference?
jurov: mats: i still don't understand you
trinque: http://trilema.com/2015/views-from-a-shithole-or-periplus-through-stupidity/#selection-111.62-111.89 << ahaha, I'm saving that one for later.
mod6: yeah, I don't remember having that problem before with CS... but maybe i'd forgotten?!
ascii_field: as far as i'm concerned, if it won't compile on my box, for my box, it doesn't exist
williamdunne: Admittedly it was a while ago, but I can remember getting most things to run on an RPI-like was an absolute bitch
williamdunne: I never mentioned windows
ascii_field: at any rate, for what it is - 4k usd is not an obscene bag of benjies; but i have doubts that you can get these 1) in onecies 2) for anywhere close to the manufacturer's retail cost
ascii_field: from spec sheet: 800MHz sparc-like; sata-2; 12 ddr3 ecc dimm slots; various standard i/o (e.g., pci-e, GbE;) and, most interestingly, built-in fpga for 2d interconnect into clusters by directly linking bus (202 G/s claimed.)
ascii_field: williamdunne: if you exclude mircea_popescu, i doubt we can get 10,000 plastic forks between the lot of us
williamdunne: Yeah I'll do that
pete_dushenski: danielpbarron: i dun think williamdunne wrote that..
williamdunne: > However, I find it unlikely that an exchange with such a high up-front fee just to participate will ever find mainstream acceptance.
williamdunne: Apparently so! I never knew!
williamdunne: MPEx did pioneer many things in Bitcoin derivatives and they deserve credit for that. However, I find it unlikely that an exchange with such a high up-front fee just to participate will ever find mainstream acceptance. ☟︎
williamdunne: thestringpuller: I know, although its not really used much by the people in question
thestringpuller: i like how mpex is completely ignored in the GPG discussion. "Ignore the guys with the nukes and they'll just go away." ☟︎
ben_vulpes: http://www.wsj.com/articles/chinas-smartphone-market-slows-down-1431296873 << modern manufacturing can crank out so many units as to completely overwhelm demand. this, i believe, is what's actually driving apple into the 'watch market', such as it is
cazalla: not exactly news or bragworthy, like the 5th time i've been banned from /r/bitcoin
cazalla: specifically http://i.imgur.com/5Xkhidy.png
assbot: I'll pay for your tits on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1IwprQb )
cazalla: i rarely submit qntra there anyway
cazalla: if i was a chick, i'd be top 5 mfc easy
davout: ic, and the username is the email username i take
cazalla: i could really go for some of that chicken right now
cazalla: i dunno, sorta like micropenis guy claiming 4-5 of his would be just as good if not better than a 10" eh? :P
cazalla: meh what can i say, made my own bed
mircea_popescu: i wonder what rabbitrandy tastes like
cazalla: i guess more so danger, they have issues but whatever i liked it so whatevers i link what i want
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=jonesing | Sheeeit beeeitch after smokin' dat weed I'm jonesing for some grub! Shaniqua is mad jonesing for Rasheed, dat bitch follow him around everywhere. by Nick D ...
cazalla: and to think how bad i was jonesing to hit that lol
cazalla: (not that i really give a shit these days)
mircea_popescu: but tits, i think, more commonly.
mircea_popescu: i had noticed before how extremely rare it is for a great ass to find itself on a pretty face.
cazalla: mebe it's aussie slang, i unno
mircea_popescu: the shit i learn hanging out here.
cazalla: cutie? i see no face in that gif, could be butter for all i know
davout: mircea_popescu: ah, i misread, thought the 1mn thing was about gavin
mircea_popescu: i guess it's only me. a well, was lulzy.
mircea_popescu: anyone else remember his "THE BITCOIN COMMUNITY ~must~ give me 1mn BTC to do stuff I came up with because that's the only way IT'll matter!11", or am i the only one ?
cazalla: davout, i think he is more likely to be trolling than a canary as you said on /r/bitcoin.. the guy has had his childish tantrums on bitcointalk before in 40pt font
mircea_popescu: "why did you hit this man in the head ?" "i thought maybe it'd do him good" "why ?" "dunno" judge thinks it through "alright, case dismissed. maybe it does do him good."
cazalla: i'd even wager her come back video has some ad agency or fucking youtube studio involved
cazalla: mircea_popescu, but the new ones reak of how can i leverage my succesful random videos with new, non-random random videos with adsense
mircea_popescu: you know, maybe the shrimp i had earlier and am now digesting REALLY MEANT to be eaten. it was its plan all along. i fell into its well laid out trap!
mircea_popescu: cazalla honestly i like the new boxxy much better. shit she's saying is of course a lot dumber than before, but at least now it's banal too. easier to ignore.
davout: i mean, if he's compromised and is actually against raising the limit, he has to be happy about it not going too well, right
davout: cazalla: i can't help to think that if the guy's really compromised than he probably feels pretty good about the way his proposals are going
mircea_popescu: i think he went from salesman trying to impress & get a raise to salesman desperate to avoid the glengarry prize for third place.
cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-05-2015#1127582 <<< pretty sure that's bait so he can turn around and say see, people troll me regardless of what i say therefore my 20mb blocksize limit argument has merit ☝︎
mircea_popescu: and speaking of ukraine weird, am i the only one to think Ю́щенко's disappearing act from ukrainian politics is weird ? the guy was strong enough to be worth poisoning a decade ago, gets 1% in 2012 ?
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: this comparison was widely made in ru sphere << to my [dis]credit, i just came up wiuth it on my own. i guess i should read more.
asciilifeform: the interesting thing is, as i pointed out in link, 1) kinetics (how quickly energy is delivered) matter far more than thermodynamics (how much is delivered)
decimation: at any rate, as I wrote later, it seems that the actual amount of U in the ground isn't really fully known
assbot: I think you drastically overestimate the military importance of nuclear weapons. on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1cGIr39 )

danielpbarron: browser bug on my end then i guess
danielpbarron: i can produce other urls that do work
assbot: Logged on 11-05-2015 00:08:52; mircea_popescu: sheeeit i should have linked http://trilema.com/2015/why-representative-democracy-doesnt-work-and-doesnt-make-sense/#selection-151.0-157.386 instead. gotta learn to use this great tool now!
danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-05-2015#1127561 << didn't work, and I was able to re-create my own not-working selection -> http://trilema.com/2015/why-representative-democracy-doesnt-work-and-doesnt-make-sense/#selection-151.0-157.22 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: in unrelated tinfoil hat fodder : i dunno if anyone remembers the one time world came closest to nuclear war (1983), or the fate of kal-007. the thing is tho, the russians at the time claimed the bad flightpath was deliberate provocation, and that the cia had warned nixon not to go with that flight.
mircea_popescu: i suspect coal is much clenaner then.
decimation: plus I like to eat bluefin tuna, and coal emissions are ruining it
mircea_popescu: if the need isn't there... i guess go derp on reddit about things of great interest and matters of great import.
livegnik: I prefer evangelist though. I'm way too stoked about our product to be a regular salesguy.
livegnik: So, as a salesman, I might sell it as supernode Rollodex, relaying information among trusted parties.
livegnik: If something goes in-depth too far for me, I'll definitely let you know to get in touch with sirius about it.
mircea_popescu: "I agree. I'm no academic nor coder" << basically, you're trying to sell something. the problem is that the thing you're trying to sell has problems. send the engineers that made it instead.
livegnik: mircea_popescu: Not sure what you're trying to point there for sure, but one of the reasons I've joined this channel is because there are probably a few people who have thought extensively about this topic.
livegnik: williamdunne: that's why I said not to stare at identi.fi too much, it's basically meant for demo-purposes, to explain the back-end.
livegnik: I like the analogy of an electronic Rolodex. It's dissimilar to the extent that it wasn't shared as easily among all trusted parties.
williamdunne: Feels a bit awkward. I like the idea but it feels like crap
livegnik: I could add an identifier like that and get a verifaction from my bank and/or social network that way.
williamdunne: i.e IS_OVER_18 YES url https://www.facebook.com/timoowpie
livegnik: mircea_popescu: I agree. I'm no academic nor coder, so I'm not even gonna give it a shot.
williamdunne: livegnik: Looks ok I guess, rating system and account system seems pretty 'tarded atm
williamdunne: Can I have a link to your profile, I wanna see the rating system?
williamdunne: Ah okay, not what I was hearing about. Still interested tho so give me a sec to read-up again on it
williamdunne: I think I've been hearing about identifi recently, let me check I'm on about the right thing one sec
livegnik: Anything else I might be able to explain about Identifi? I remember that there were some more questions last time after I left.
mircea_popescu: wtf is with these idiots. don't they realise just how obvious their agenda becomes from all the failures ? "we gotta fuck up bitcoin. o, i know, let's make the blocks larger. wait, mp said no. i know, make the timing shorter. one way or another, must destroy the decentralisation!!11"
livegnik: Thnx mircea_popescu . I'll be off in 30 minutes or so, and haven't been able to get sirius in here yet. Both pretty busy atm, but sure he'll join us some other time.

mircea_popescu: This would also be why I don't think so very much of the libertards, and why I find myself so often in contradiction with people who view them as either powerful or in any sense a threat (usually both) : they aren't, either, nor could they really be, either, because the only tool they know actually works for them only a short distance of its run, and for us the entire length of that same run. The libertard's gambit is ☟︎
mircea_popescu: (note that i didn't even bother with using the fact that 99.9% of uranium is not more fissile than lead, nor the fact that you will never actually manage to bust up ALL the atoms)
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-05-2015#1127133 <<< i think you drastically overestimate the military importance of nuclear weapons. ☝︎
trinque: I dunno that it goes beyond "this is what disorganized poverty looks like"
