that's quite plainly
the mark of ascendancy. "demonstration" aka "here's proof you can't enforce
the law on us", and appropriation, aka, "we
think more
than you and
therefore your symbols aren't yours in any meaningful sense".
mircea_popescu: for
the record
the correct ban format is /mode b+ *!*@91.233.116.245 or such
mircea_popescu: internet access is a great boon
to knowledge! all
the learnin' of five billion bovines at your fingertips!
diana_coman: eh mircea_popescu, you're using big words
to seem important; wealth? long
term? what are
those?
BingoBoingo: Well, what else can
the fuel oil in waiting do?
mircea_popescu: elliot rodger was such a
trendsetter / visionary / posthumous jobs award.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in herdemocracy, "Life is a scam if you don't luck out
to become super rich."
mircea_popescu: "bitcoin is a very poor store of wealth long
term"!!! it's just how
things are!!!
BingoBoingo: It's not unthinkable
that
they would be given
the Inca's likelihood of giving materials engineering
the calvinist science
treatment
mircea_popescu: "because of pressure". i suppose
their submarines are made out of rubber ?
mircea_popescu: "It's only a matter of
time before one of
the
Trident submarines are lost. HMS Vanguard a
Trident submarine makes an appearance in
the book for
the deep depth incident.
The submarine exceeded 300 meters (safe depth is 65meters).
They under estimated
the weight of
the submarine and didn't have enough speed for
the Aft-planes
to create raise.
The further
the submarine descended
the more
the weight of
the submarine increased due
mircea_popescu: "We are at war, with a new kind of enemy.
The
terrorists have infiltrated every nation on our planet. Our nuclear weapons are a
target
that's wide open
to attack."
BingoBoingo: Well,
the water ~20 miles off
the shore of Guam
mircea_popescu: so who's kim gonna nuke,
that all-jewish canton in siberia ?
BingoBoingo: ^ Your periodic admonition
to get NAND while possible
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> btw,
that "we are vary silbert for your loss" is like so pregnant with meme. barry
the sorry sorbet sillybert! << AHA!
mircea_popescu: tl;dr : aspie ro chick's mother becomes senile, girly is very indignant
that her redditlife is interrupted and she was
transformed into a
traditional society woman WITHOUT HER CONSENT!!!

The operation succeeded.

trb build box' - still laughing ?)
mircea_popescu: guess what... "I don't see
the appeal of startups at all. I have never been a gambler. big companies allow me
to get paid well while not really doing much work A++"
mircea_popescu: "Could anyone really believe
the earth was going
to swallow up
the incredible productive assets and unlimited human ingenuity existing in America?"
mircea_popescu: but because rank and file everyday
tard is entirely incapable of even representing a working economy.
mircea_popescu: kinda why
the country is doomed, not strictly speaking because "educators" who literally
think
the shamanic
traditions of africa / sitting around in a circle chanting count ; nor because
they "produce" "goods"
that are literal painted paper like
the rocks on a
theatrical stage.
mircea_popescu: that dude's a fine example of usgistani ersatz. he hangs out in "personal finance"
talking about finance, all
the while his worldview is purely soviet socialism, command economy etc.
mircea_popescu: apple could buy russia, if you're drunk and all
the russians go
to space ; meanwhile bitcoin bought america.
mircea_popescu: whodda
thunk
tardstalk can
take over
the entire pantsuit forum ?
mircea_popescu: kinda why medieval greek separated from it, leading
to
today's lang.
mircea_popescu: this is how it manages
the inapproximable "whisks" of meaning
that latin-style
then has so much
trouble noting down.
☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: a greek word is "what is left out of
the space of all possible meanings once all
the meanings interdicted by
the other words have been removed".
mircea_popescu: the latin approach
to language is "word is symbol for its definition".
mircea_popescu: (contrary
to
the naive expectation, common attic fluency is not achieved
throgh "knowing
the words".
there is no such knowing.)
mircea_popescu: anyway. his ro "diortosire" is a very well illuminated source, as
to
the original material, and if one speaks ro one benefits from reading it even if one can also read
the septuagint in original.
mircea_popescu: (amusingly, because a succession of
these since
the 1970s,
there's much better ro
testaments
than say en.)
mircea_popescu: amusingly, guy prayed he survive
to complete
translation of
testament. did so. died
thereafter.
BingoBoingo: "Oh
the people NSA hired
to read
trilema in 2013 moved on
to management and
these new interns gotta start over"
mircea_popescu: it irks me
that over
time,
the points made need ever more words AND STILL
the jumps/gaps have
to grow. fucking radial problem.
mircea_popescu: anyway, 0 shits given, becoming "more subtle" does not help
the cattle empire. if
the blunt didn't work,
the sharp is a lulz.
mircea_popescu: right, maybe
there's some color-of-bits finally imported into bitcoin
this way ? please ? so usg can still has a point in world ?
mircea_popescu: so in
this sense it makes securing
the chain more expensive, which is a legitimate 2nd goal of usg.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes
the substantial weakness segwit adds
to bitcoin chain security is
that witout it, one needs
the power
to unwind
the chain AND
the keys of old
txn
to steal bitcoin. whereas with it, one only needs
the hash power, as anyone can spend
the segwit shit.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: moreover,
this is no different from any other rewind : if a long chain is orphaned a number of
txn are reversed
thereby.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes and block depth. if you make segwit
tx a
to me at height 1 and i put it into a normal
tx at block 2, i can spend it from block 3 as my bitcoin,
the segwitnmess is gone out of it.
to steal it from me, one has
to rewind all
the way
to block 1 again. which is possible, but expensive as
the chain builds.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but
then again usg fronts don't need a good plan,
they just need A PLAN. something, at all. idiots don't read.
ben_vulpes: isn't
the practicality of reorg a function of segwitolade sum?
mircea_popescu: now, if
this is
the plan it's not a very good one (you can bury a segwit
tx into legitimate spending which is deep enough
to not be practically reorg-able) but anyway
mircea_popescu: exactly
the same play. oh, we "buy" bitcoin crash. if it
takes, it's good. if it doesn't
take, guess what, segwit unroll later.
mircea_popescu: when bitbet blew a ~1k hole
through
this plan,
they paid luke-jr a pittance
to falsely claim
they had delivered
to him.
mircea_popescu: this got called out, and in order
to "silence" it, josh zerlan went around making "bets" on "betting sites" about how bfl will deliver.
