shinohai: I honestly
think anonymint uses crystal meth
shinohai: penalize by selling
the fork and buying another honest one, but he will need sufficient mining resources and other significant BTC holders
to enjoin him in
this fight. Rather I
think most astute BTC holders will realize
this is
the end of
the paradigm and liquidate.'
shinohai: "I believe Mircea Popescu has gravely miscalculated. Either he has been coloring his own BTC within
the danger period (i.e. being careful of
the lineage of
the BTC obtained in recent
times), else his BTC is also susceptible
to being stolen. Otherwise, he would need vast mining resources
to maintain his own fork or he would need
to penalize/bribe miners
to not steal his BTC where it is so encumbered. He can
mircea_popescu: (for
the record,
the difference between
the nemtsov and
the pantsuit is
that while
they both represent
the herdemocracy side,
the pantsuit is ineffectual, lazy, effete citizen, whereas
the nemtsov is hardy, insistent, ambitious orc born outside
the walls.)
mircea_popescu: this is
the
typical end product of
the imbecile "just
the facts" "i am equpped
to
think for myself" ustard.
mircea_popescu: consequently
this idiot's
teahouse was constantly ringing of alarms on multiple voices from multiple points.
mircea_popescu: tea was served in cups on
trays. it's ok for
tea
to come in
teabags, what.
the
trays also included alarm clocks set for whatever minutes a 10-bux-an-hour pinoy randomly put on
the mass produced "fair
trade" crappy
teabags. 6 or 7 or 3 or whatever.
mircea_popescu: some douchebag opened a
tea house, with a lot of verbiage about how relaxing and progressive and everything it is, and how it goes in other places and you know, brimming with
the imbecile self-satisfaction of
the nemtsov.
mircea_popescu: did i ever
tell you
the story of
the progressive
tea shop in
timisoara ?
BingoBoingo: Most of
the grocery stores have
the eclipse
things here. Cardboard 3D glasses
type
things with ~shade 13 filter and lots of small print about "no more
than 3 minutes continuous use"
BingoBoingo: Oh, USian shopkeeps do
that all
the
time
too!
mircea_popescu: the direct equivalent would be argentarded shopkeepers "declining
to sell".
BingoBoingo: Well, at
this point Baltimore ~= Internment Camp, at
the very least Ghetto in
the 1940s sense
shinohai: Gold: "
The Rust Evangelism Strike Force recommends several resources for people who would like
to poorly reimplement other unix
tools."
mircea_popescu: maybe just "dun listen
to old bags,
they make you deaf and dumb"
mircea_popescu: for
their daughters. who
the fuck cares about
the bags now.
BingoBoingo: They can't get
those language abilities back
BingoBoingo: The nags are
too deaf
to hear
that.
Too much Maury/CNN/kennedy exposure.
BingoBoingo: If we have learned anything from
the Roger Ver-ified
tribe, it is
that
there is a portion of
the idiocy which will stare at
the sun, for however long it
takes
the moon
to
transit. From
this
the nags and bags get
their power. All it
takes is one stuple
to set all
the nags off.
BingoBoingo: Well, much of humanity is more stupid
than
the rest of
the animals. Likely will continue staring well beyond point pain receptors yell
to cease and decist.
mircea_popescu: somehow
this has evolved from "im an old woman, nobody wants
to pay attention
to me, let me nag people"
to "don't stare at
the sun"
to "omfg SUN IS DANGEROUS!" and it will never fucking end.
mircea_popescu: yes, concave mirrors and lenses can blind you. but if
the sun itself is a problem
then you're a lifefrom from a different planet.
mircea_popescu: so what does
the animal do, go blind every
time it sees
the sun ?
BingoBoingo: Eh,
there's probably a difference between eye
taking in sunlight and focusing
the lens apparatus of
the eye directly at
the sun.
mircea_popescu: fun fact : watching
the sun is not harmful
to
the eye.
mircea_popescu: this is
the important point of having defeated
the usg flailing attempts
to prevent actual fee market from developping : it will WORK.
mircea_popescu: and of course as women are
the social scar
tissue,
this is going
to end up with yet another "oh, it's
THEIR fault!!!", like every historical case
to date.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: then again, sept 11 marked
the end of vhs-america.
the remainder usg-sadness is not even at
the level of hruschev's "reformed cccp"
mircea_popescu: anyway,
to
the general point : satellite comms are a very limited
thing, and will definitely go
the same way
the old roman dinner (ie, fuckfest) went once
the medievals discovered syphilis.
mircea_popescu: the cost per
ton of
this (materials, excluding labour and knowledge) is under 100 bux.
mircea_popescu: 2 stage, a 1-200kg booster
thing
to get it in gross range and a 2-3kg
thing
to power
the last 100 grame spiked ball
to
the actual satellite
mircea_popescu: but yes, glonass slightly better
than usg sats because of orbit style.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no. different work
to PUT satellite in orbit, and
to send it an old bit of spanish grapeshot
mircea_popescu: and it doesn't have
to be fast or anything. nor does it need payload.
mircea_popescu: tru fact : you can
take down satellites
TODAY. as an individual effort.
a111: Logged on 2015-10-15 01:03 mircea_popescu: if you want a
Tatra
truck, ask for it.
mircea_popescu: now it's more expensive
than mining. cuz gotta airforce one it
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform who
the fuck would depend on a satellite. for one
thing
they keep falling.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-14 17:08 mircea_popescu: it's funny how all
the
things are
the same
thing and everything wraps into ideological identity. empire needs... a lot of really dumb ones, as a COLLECTIVE. we... make every one stand on its own INDIVIDUALLY.
mircea_popescu: PeterL
that lemma refers
to domain borders.
there's no border re hardware.
mircea_popescu: (at least we get
this much from
the sadness : if anyone asks "why 4096" user can link here._
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
there's nothing wrong with HAVING it. and people can use it. BUT for rsa we should use
the even one.
