mircea_popescu: yes, they did, that's what the "soft fork" debacle was all about.
mircea_popescu: we currently can at any point revert to high-s, or any-s.
mircea_popescu: there isn't a "you do yours and i do mine" thing here. IF we decide to mine as much as one single high s block, this INVALIDATES all further work of all noncompliant miners. forever.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dun think you understand how this works.
mircea_popescu: (this can be tacked on at the end, the protocol is really that shitty)
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform>
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-01-2016#1369526 << there is only one Great Cockroach, and all of these folks are merely fuzz upon its antennae. << it's funny how much of a judeoxtian fundamentalist you are seeing how you don't even alphabet! wouldn't something equally ridiculous like indian-whatever go better with your semiotic ideas ?
☝︎ mircea_popescu: (you may not know of all the 90s "urban revival" attempts that created such as modern portland etc, after a seattle blueprint)
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> FIGHT ME IRL UNCLE AL << youi have to appreciate this is before your oregon was invented
mircea_popescu: but in other news : chocolate cake being in the making, i was humbly presented with spoon of ganache to lick. (yes while sitting here, ha!). and so i did and because of my beard ... the pleasant scent still floats around my nose.
mircea_popescu: " According to his analysis, even a judge's decision that there is probable cause tosuspect a crime has been committed won't" << oh no, what ever more fearsome thing than when the fiction begins to fray.
mircea_popescu: for instance... did you know that ~20% of women looking to hook up are 29 ?
mircea_popescu: unrelatedly, i'm starting to be real suspicious over here about plainly observable nonliniarities in the flow of time.
mircea_popescu: heck, modern spain was built on the rape-and-pillage of more civilised, peace loving, law abiding muslims by religious zealots.
mircea_popescu: "things better left unsaid", stuff like La France being a lot more a creation of militant, government-bombing activism than christianity. and so on.
mircea_popescu: d us" chiefly because it served the anglo puppet masters.
mircea_popescu: funny how nobody in france and generally in the "nordic model" train of euro-socialistoid train wants to remember how, by and large, french society was either supportive or indifferent of the nazis, and how "la resistance" maps almost exactly on what today would be "extreme righyt wing extremism", and how de gaulle, the exact equivalent of say arafat, got to re-write history into some delusional "all france stood behin
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but... one time you'll be 60, and you'll have the opportunity to pick up teenaged chicks off the street. and you'll try, i'm sure, and manage, i'm sure. right ?
mircea_popescu: it is easy for the young to ignore the outright heroic accomplishment that it is for say 60yos to just keep track of this mess.
mircea_popescu: in general people should be able to make their own decision based on keys, rather than pile up on you to review neh ?
mircea_popescu: "wavelength as a second parameter photons" ahahahaha omfg.
mircea_popescu: and you need 100% of your production redirected away from you, through taxes, spousal support and any and all other available avenues. because omfg.
mircea_popescu: if the company you manage behaves as an approximation of a cockroach, your wife needs a divorce.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: it's the equivalent of a bug going "oh hey, there's some food here. how come ? i didn't put it there ? well... i guess i'll just have some,w hat's the worst that can happen".
mircea_popescu: because of the very obvious danger this approach poses, pete_dushenski
mircea_popescu: (not completely, needs air, but pretty well nevertheless)
mircea_popescu: dja have one of those gasoline generators or "not-available-in-2nd-best-korea" ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, hearthily recommended, should prolly be on the "introductory reading materials" for new and aspiring qntra editors.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo have you read uncleal btw ? you gotta read uncleal.
mircea_popescu: gains from focused efforts must be confiscated by higher authority and distributed to the deserving, less user fees.
mircea_popescu: Classical physics demands certainty. Quantum mechanics demands probability. Diversity demands one more turn of the screw - nullity. We cannot allow the impositions of society to crush the aspirations of culture. Those who are empirically materially productive steal wealth from those who pursue transient hedonistic objectively valueless personal agendas. Diversity is admission for reason of disqualification. Ill-gotten
mircea_popescu: "A Proposal for Correcting Social Inequities Intrinsic to the Drunkard's Walk: No Photon Left Behind"
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla oh wait, different coin-derps ? a well. there goes a good laugh.
mircea_popescu: aww, no more xapo is going to revolutionize and things ?
mircea_popescu: so hanbot is working out. she's on one of those balls. i go "hey... silbert picks up coinbase in all-paper acquihire". she starts laughing. she can't stop laughing. eventually she lets out "that entire work-out... just warm-up for this laugh."
mircea_popescu: hey "coinbase" - most LOSERS manage a better acquihire after FIVE YEARS. grow beards already, start entertaining at the metro let out.
mircea_popescu: dat feeling when random idiot used to derp in trilema comments FIVE YEARS AGO comes back. same ip. same derpage. time stood still.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller wouldja stop upping this quent derp already. it's like reading vexual-on-stupid-drugs.
mircea_popescu: cancer taking the first bite off the lordship list, more fodder for the list of things no one could have predicted.
mircea_popescu: well, they're 10 cents a pop since teh torrents, seeing how they weren't made by dosney.
mircea_popescu: how about "women in cages" ? guy ended up obsessed with the closing shot
mircea_popescu: what do you think pam grier did with her youth, pre tarantino travolting her career ?
mircea_popescu: yes, you can, because you've seen her in jackie brown.
mircea_popescu: what, we're going to have a franklin vs baez dispute now ?
mircea_popescu: "Hippies' marijuana and hallucinogens had interesting outputs; slums' opiates, crack, and crystal meth less so." << yeah, because you apriorily decided you wish to fuck a hippie chick not a filipina brothel slave. that's all.
mircea_popescu: what does it say of you, that only pigs wish to sleep with you ?
mircea_popescu: but the management dig is, if perhaps justified by personal experience, nevertheless on the level of "all men are pigs".
mircea_popescu: "Genrich Altshuller, TRIZ, And Suddenly the Inventor Appeared. Orthodoxy excludes discovery. Heterodox observation falsifies assumed knowledge. Validation studies are bottle washing and button sorting. All discovery is insubordination. Management exists to kill the future, for the only trusted employee is one whose sole marketable asset is loyalty." << o look even mentions him.
mircea_popescu: obviously, not altogether for the reasons the idiots who are incapable to love anything like to pretend those who could love don't.
mircea_popescu: "a universal scale-free recipe for fitting together" << and yet he hates obama.
mircea_popescu: at any rate this has been in fact the history of life on earth to date.
mircea_popescu: whoever sits closer to the rng in the sky prints all the money.
mircea_popescu: this is the view say danielpbarron would be held to hold anyway.
mircea_popescu: honestly, i always suspected randomness is not merely "not a property of numbers", but altogether not a thing.
mircea_popescu: The noise that was observed as random structure was not itself random. It contained topological order, a universal scale-free recipe for fitting together. Supercomputer simulation of 24,000 cerium atoms plus 8000 aluminum atoms with or without the topological footnote added is enlightening. Plot respective structure factors against the reciprocal space vector for each case. The curves are identical! Where is the inform
mircea_popescu: talline product not a face-centered cubic single crystal.
mircea_popescu: Atomic bonding does its thing at a scale of angstrom lengths. A 50x40x15 micron sample is (5x105)x(4x105)x(1.5x105) angstroms3 or 3x1016 Å3. How does random structure spontaneously quickly order in a discontinuous transition to sharp diffraction lines (XRD) and spots (2D XRD), with such mammoth amplification? There is no global information! Thermal devitrification at 200°C affords a hexagonal symmetry finely polycrys
