mircea_popescu: ang-st my point, conversely, is that the general public is
as human
as the population of holstein cattle. nobody cares nor ever will.
ang-st: my point is crypto concept are still miles away from general public (and i consider most user of ttnn
as general public)
mircea_popescu:
as it happens we're right in the middle of building republican infrastructure, in principle at least
as to what meets the eye very similar to whart you have there.
ang-st: well we have a true DC room, and an "assocative" one (
as in french term association which stand for non profit org)
ang-st: mircea_popescu: no we have our own
AS, 2 kind of DC room a 10G line
mircea_popescu: if all the "here's the usg-bitcoin, accept it in exchange" doesn't work
as it hasn't with ripple/ethereum/bitcoin-core/crash/whatever, the only remaining avenue is the idly papal claim to "all the bitcoins".
deedbot: F6859D5B0BD80C6F8B19A07DD64423DB580E6CFB registered
as ang-st.

as it is it barely can afford trucks that dun leak oil, much less any quantity of 'bigdog'
ben_vulpes: "and for
as long
as your citizens run free 802.* rebroadcasters, we're going to be utterly uninterdictable"
ben_vulpes: predator and phriendz seem to work fine, so long
as nobody's spoofing gps
mircea_popescu: to explain ourselves : the coy behaviour is defined
as the spurious pretense of sexual disinterest put forth by a universally-interested machine ; and it is counterproductive because while it does in fact increase (somewhat) the success with above-average value partners, it entirely ruins any perpsective of success with the highest value partners. that this may (arguable, and i doubt it) sum to positive over a larege populati
mircea_popescu: i have nfi why or wherefore, it's about
as counterintuitive
as the coy behaviour in females.
mircea_popescu: no dude, "having gone to school" tech
as opposed to "i heard on youtube" tech
mircea_popescu: apparently it can be formulated so
as to dissolve in dmf/dma etc
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: 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.
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.
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: 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.
trinque:
as far
as land ownership, not too sure how much I want to marry a piece of real estate anyway.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-14 17:29 asciilifeform: asciilifeform had a 1958 'britannica', made in usa, that he fished out of a dumpster
as a boy. it was superb,
as far
as encyclopaedia goes, about on par with famous большая советская энциклопедия . but today it lives packed in a crate.

as a vps off your vps machine im sure.
BingoBoingo: davout: Freight happens later

as a bag or a something else
a111: Logged on 2016-10-03 19:15 asciilifeform: one of the interesting recurring motifs in dalrymple (british dude who worked for decades
as prison doctor) re addicts is that they are not 'could be just anybody'
mircea_popescu: in the sense that third party can predict (by eliminating some
as impossible) future urls in whatever manner.
davout: sounds to me
as the same fundamental problem re hashes
mircea_popescu: in any case. there's no requirement that you be able to use the word "car" to go shopping in it ; and similarily there's no requirement that you be able to use a key's fingerprint to sign, or check signatures with it. the intention of the fingerprint is to permit you to reference a specific key unambiguously to a third party, such
as when asking for it.
mircea_popescu:
as i said, making the modulus be the name has its advantages.
mircea_popescu: well, at first it was about lobbes warning people not to rely on the "control dials"
as provided by koch-gpg, for being unreliable ; then you wanted to talk about fps and then at some point and without warning anyone apparently pivoted to talking about pubkeys and signatures.
mircea_popescu: i had nfi you object to names
as a matter of principle.
trinque: I'll go change to to encode the FP
as repititions of the string "cocks" to signify
mircea_popescu: but somehow commerce hasn't come at astandstill by the fact that you can call a folded sheet of paper
as well
as a 100`000 ton transport item "boat"
mircea_popescu: there can be no doubt
as to which key is being referenced if the reference consists of modulus.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, there's no doubt
as to which key is in discussion.
trinque: right, I could
as well use nick for that, since it's a non-colliding namespace for those
mircea_popescu: which reduces to "there ARE practical limits to labels for things ; and they are unrelated to the sizes of the things, i expect the WORD for ant, dick, car and aeroplane to all fit the ~5.6 characters rule
as universally enforced in alphabet"
lobbes: But otherwise, even I can agree: no real use for key servers
as-a-thing. And,
as I've found out, expiration-
as-a-thing idem
davout: + exponent
as asciilifeform points out, which iirc is to be 'large'
as well
davout: asciilifeform: i'm not speaking about gpg
as its currently-existing braindamaged implementation of a shaky protocol
mircea_popescu: at no point was this discussion about key identifiers. the fact that gpg reports "no expiration" FALSELY,
as it reports all sorts of false or otherwise stupid, misleading etc non-facts is at issue
lobbes: and yeah, I overlooked that I apparently had to also remove expiration on the sub -explicitly- (via gpg --edit-key). Even though it was showing the sub
as 'expiration: none' after I had removed expiration on the pub way back when

as this do sometimes allow injunctions against persons who are in ‘active participation’ with an enjoined party. The current lawsuit is an example of that, he says.'

As a Prime member, you can get packages securely delivered into your home without being there. Plus, grant access to the people you trust, like your family, friends, dog walker, or house cleaner—no more leaving a key under the mat.' << 'cloud'-controlled door lock.
trinque remembers a time from his youth when drunk, chick puts on porn in group mixed company, figures hey, we're gonna fuck, proceeds
as such.
mircea_popescu: the wheel turned
as well
as ever ... but the car... it didn't move.
mircea_popescu: this is the problem of 2, and it is
as deep
as it gets. mentally isolated, solitary lonely lost dorks.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform very much so, yes, and especially of this worst agraristan of all, "we're still wearing same clothes
as roman colonists 2000 years ago and really speak the same language and fuck you"
mircea_popescu: anyway, the problem isn't creators, that romania has. the problem is romania itself,
as dumbly impermeable
as fresh clay.
mircea_popescu: not altogether an un-understandable or for that matter incorrect view. moreover, owing to romania's incredible literary sterility
as manifested
as a long term sustained inability to meaningfully write themselves...
mircea_popescu:
as a result, the victorious revolutionaries found themselves in '45 in a dubious situation : they had absolutely no political legitimacy. outside of mihai, who was mentally incompetent then
as now, but whose two aunts were very willing to sell out ; and sanatescu, who didn't think much of them (for cause), they had ~no one in bucharest.
mircea_popescu: romania got meanwhile engaged on the eastern front by general antonescu, who was literally
as he describes himself, a military man being sucked into a power vacuum and trying to do best could be done.
mircea_popescu: thereby a lowball estimate of "heat to dispose of one" is probably in excess of 30MJ per capita,
as opposed to the 1MJ originally estimated above.
mircea_popescu: this disregards any losses due to the aerogel part, which insulates, and also any further losses from "boiling is not enough",
as well
as passive loss of heat into your apparatus etc.
davout: but upward force decreases
as depth increases
mircea_popescu: there is no such thing
as "cheap mains current". it's expensive universally.
mircea_popescu: anyway. let it be plainly stated that current idiot's expectation they'll be shot is about
as ridiculous
as 1940s jews'. who the fuck can be bothered.
shinohai:
As long
as producing plastic from corn, perhaps biodiesel also

as we tell you to" trick. "key is in your pocket" in legal parlance)
BingoBoingo: "Taylor's lyrics in "Look What You Made Me Do" seem to play to the same subtle, quiet white support of a racial hierarchy. Many on the alt-right see the song
as part of a "re-awakening," in line with Trump's rise. At one point in the accompanying music video, Taylor lords over an army of models from a podium, akin to what Hitler had in Nazi Germany. The similarities are uncanny and unsettling."

As physicists, radioastronomers, and electronics engineers, we were all struck by the possibility of doing independent broadcasts, if nothing else because that was our profession. My colleagues took part in broadcasts in Warsaw and other cities. Rooftop transmitters had low range. And they were easy for the security services to locate. We had to think of something else.

mircea_popescu: coolant is over boiling point
as it is. pressurized systems.

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-07#1733562 << this is a doubtful proposition,
as the enemy is basically "idiots", and much like nature having much more energy to burn than you do, idiots are much more affixed to their idiotarian ideology than you will ever be to yours.
