The operation succeeded.
ben_vulpes: !~later

mircea_popescu: in case anyone wondered "How do famous athletes and child actors end up peniless",
this'd be how. like
those
two retarded
twins, what was
their name,
the mcgregors. "oh we're gonna buy relevancy" "yeah,
totally,
that's something
that works"
mircea_popescu: bitcoins
to pantsuit cunts
that deal was "we'll give you 10k in cash for what we imagine is 100k in publicity" "lol
this 100k in publicity is maybe worth 10 bux. deal."
shinohai: Blockchain Capital is one of
the "investors"
that pre-purchased
tokens ( a brainfart of Brock Pierce)
mircea_popescu: how does such huge important mass manage
to not have any inertia is anyone's guess ; how fucking broken everyone involved's mind must be not not realize inertialess = worthless is anyone's guess.
mircea_popescu: funny how
these shits are OMFG HUGE IMPORTANT RA RA RA until some bagholder actually buys
them, at which point
they entirely disappear overnight.
mircea_popescu: whatever happened
to
telegram or w/e it was
the one
they did buy ?
mircea_popescu: totally. what
the fuck is kik anyway,
the irrelevant nonservice
that facebook didn't buy for a
trillion ?
mircea_popescu: " With millions of users, Kik said it hopes
to drive mainstream consumer adoption of Kin, potentially making it
the most widely used cryptocurrency."
mircea_popescu: "o man,
the guys in finance figured out a way
to get paid for selling shares without selling any" "whoa" "Technologee man. it can do anything" "can it make you shut up ?"
shinohai: Blokechain
technologee at it's finest!
mircea_popescu: wtf does buying "their" version of
the usg coin get me ? "uhhh... same as
the republic's" bitch... you can't be
the same as
the republic. you suck ;
the republioc doesn't.
mircea_popescu: i'm at
the edge of my chair with bated breath awaiting
the imperial notion of
the list.
mircea_popescu: not
to mention, eerily similar
to demented, drooling char stack which ~pseudorandomly skips bits known as unicode.

them immediately when he saw
they were sending weird data
to selected IP addresses.
the whole lot.
spyked: speaking of orders, asciilifeform, estimated arrival date for icestick is ~beginning of november. later
than I initially expected, but eh. plenty of
time
to study related literature & assorted items

tunnel vision. )

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-21#1701493 << he has a point, incidentally.
the notion of ~approximating~ numeric machine is about as batshit insane as
the notion of concave airplane or open-ended circulatory system.
shinohai: Because decimals are
too hard man

this is uniquely stupid. for one
thing,
the "conceptualization" of bitcoin as a "real number" is below sophomoric.
there is no such
thing as a "btc", properly speaking ; it's satoshis all
the way down, and
they are integers.

talk at shmoo, which mentioned how nn used in image recognition usually imprints on what -
to a human - would be an entirely accidental cluster of pixels, and if you flip'em, it will recognize an obvious, e.g,. cat, as a refrigerator, etc)

to wit: 1. dorks plant pervasive spyhole in commodity hardware, "to catch
terrorists" I suppose; 2. at some point someone figures out everyone can use it, not only "agencies"; 3. at some point (much later!) dorks figure out
they can be used
to spy on "agencies"
too; 4. dorks finally add secret method
to disable spyhole.
shinohai: Makes me rather forlorn
that ex gf
threw out my spi
tool
thinking it was a broken usb drive xD

☟︎ mircea_popescu: We're Boring And Stupid doesn't quite have
the same sound
to it
spyked: hi mircea_popescu; lol yeah. also, other lulz: "There are
three such cores in
the new PCH: Management Engine (ME), Integrated Sensors Hub (ISH), and Innovation Engine (IE)." innovation engine!

☟︎ BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> as if i fucking need
to squeeze 120% out of a party. why ? if i like it
that much ima just do it again nextweek, for +100%. << Gotta address
the biohackers and
their "Drugs are bad, let's edit
the meat" crowd.
mircea_popescu: why do
these dorks imagine
they're involved with bitcoin again ?
mircea_popescu: there's a limited ammount of different
transactions
that can be indexed, and
that limit is not 2.1e12.
mircea_popescu: moreover, no, most emphatically NO
there could not be subdivisions below
the satoshi. in fact, not even fractions as small as
the 100s of satoshis can be practically used.

a111: Logged on 2017-08-30 03:22 kanzure: my definition of a viable nootropic is one
that helps enough
to make a better nootropic. so basically
they are all garbage.
mircea_popescu: no seriously,
this is actually used.
take weak laser from
tube 1
through
tube 2.
mircea_popescu: whole principle of laser is
that excited atom will spit out photon in phase with photon going by
mircea_popescu: my point being : you can blow your own
tube, buy your own gas, hook it all up, and let it go. kitchenware.
mircea_popescu: yes but dun have
to be 20k usd. just get a cubic meter of gas mix, and some flexible pipe.
mircea_popescu: ok
then. so wtf is
this "100w laser". measure it in liters instead.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's a mix
tho, co2 is
trace amt in laser co2.
mircea_popescu: if lab can keep an o2
tank, it can also keep an co2 laser
tank

mircea_popescu: i
think it might be a cultural
thing. milk coffee was common breakfast kiddy
thing in ro. i was amused
to discover same is
true in say nicaragua.
