asciilifeform: i'll consider reading a paper with actual maths/algo but anything else now tends to fall into 'entomology'

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-11-2015#1324696 << it is generally safe to 'set the bozo bit' on the whole gaggle of idiots ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-11-2015#1324698 << usg ! implementing the t3rr0ristz!!111 winning since '01 ! accept no substitute !11 ☝︎

asciilifeform: it

asciilifeform: but at least 1.x doesn't (i shit thee not) invoke x11 crud

asciilifeform: in most of the same ways, also.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-11-2015#1324679 << i found that 1.x is also pretty sad. ☝︎

asciilifeform: !s johnny encrypt

asciilifeform: old nyooz

asciilifeform: spiffy

asciilifeform: using v. sedach's 'parenscript' lib, or ab initio ?

asciilifeform: nifty!

asciilifeform: l0l, jurov can't wait ?

asciilifeform still can't picture them wanting anything else in the end other than crashing

asciilifeform: like phalaris into the bull ?

asciilifeform: to form whatever it takes to actualize the cokemachine.

asciilifeform: i suspect that this'd be one of those cases where the constituent parts would spontaneously rearrange themselves on the sheer strength of the premined coin

asciilifeform: the man himself, (or bourbaki, etc), if ever shows up, will die in the machine.

asciilifeform: well, the double

asciilifeform: some are just titled gentry pure and simple.

asciilifeform: again, not all of them actually see the monkeys

asciilifeform once worked for a fella like that. he showed up every quarter, or so

asciilifeform: there are several kinds of 'professorship' some of which don't include actually clocking in

asciilifeform: actually

asciilifeform: (have they got these?)

asciilifeform: posthumous professorship

asciilifeform wonders if it was built to his specs as described here

asciilifeform: to receive s if and when.

asciilifeform: i suppose it can also be inferred that the coke machine is ready

asciilifeform: on some stage

asciilifeform: when they dressed up the monkey as s

asciilifeform: iirc this was tried at least once earlier

asciilifeform: l0l ok

asciilifeform: any particular reason mircea_popescu would care to share re: why not ?

asciilifeform: posted anywhere ?

asciilifeform: esp given as the latter comes with guaranteed einsatzkommando and gasenwagen

asciilifeform: if s wouldn't emerge to cash in his premine, why would he emerge for a paltry 1m usd ?

asciilifeform: this stretches the bounds of the plausible

asciilifeform: for any martians reading this.

asciilifeform: btw plagiarism is as asian as rice.

asciilifeform: (usg-rich, rather than mircea_popescu-rich, but still)

asciilifeform: and he's rich, yes

asciilifeform: sorta how mr o was for bill ayers

asciilifeform: more elementarily, to fix torn things faster/with less sweat

asciilifeform: but the classical india featherbedding - this, yes!

asciilifeform: but overall flavour is the same.

asciilifeform: now this, yes

asciilifeform: really not so different from that other nomenklatura.

asciilifeform unfortunately knows very well what they look like.

asciilifeform: l0l!1

asciilifeform: it will liquify like an axenic mouse.

asciilifeform: north kr is largely free of usg but as a consequence has no immunity

asciilifeform: and other threadz re: same.

asciilifeform: don't forget http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=04-08-2015#1224219 ☝︎

asciilifeform was about to ask 'who the fuck cancelled this' but then remembered chinese pseudoclothes

asciilifeform: 'spreading - works!'

asciilifeform: 'feast of engineering !!!1111'

asciilifeform: what was it,

asciilifeform: ^ and prolly more.

asciilifeform: '1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) is a gaseous molecule that blocks the sites of ethylene binding and action in fruit. Marketed under the commercial name ‘SmartFreshTM’, it is increasingly used across a wide variety of stored products where the inhibition of ethylene effects is desired.'

asciilifeform: e.g.,

asciilifeform: yes, but....

asciilifeform: possibly from the use of ripening gas

asciilifeform: but yes.

asciilifeform let the whole thing be, if anyone recalls

asciilifeform: but as a thing that could exist independently.

asciilifeform: did not suggest bolting it onto 'v' proper

asciilifeform: wanted to import blockchain time rather than nato time, but sure.

asciilifeform: then can forget time.

asciilifeform: where somebody gets trapped in a bubble and told 'the state of the art is this thing here and guess what they never got $longagosolveditem to work, therealbitcoin suxx!!1111'

asciilifeform: it is a thing in one and only one case

asciilifeform: did we do this one ?

asciilifeform: ?

asciilifeform: but enemy will attempt to leverage any serious uncertainty in 1 or 2

asciilifeform: neither is required to build ~a~ press, no

asciilifeform: there is only one way to reliably broadcast 1) when a particular patch came to exist 2) what the present state of the art may be.

asciilifeform: not only

asciilifeform: there is no other way to nail down chronology.

asciilifeform: (elaborate counterfactuals use it up!)

asciilifeform: but i'm running low on hypothetical-juice

asciilifeform: so in soviet yugo, supposing i'd grown up there, i'd possibly be something more like jurov.

asciilifeform: believe or not i was a perfectly normal boy (complete with the normal fistfights etc) before being forcibly removed to the land of monkeys

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: actually it is more specifically that with my level of social skillz it doesn't pay the rentz.

asciilifeform: jurov: but i'd sorta like to avoid pederasty

asciilifeform: jurov: because usg has infinite budget and wants moar and moar reversers

asciilifeform: and as i saw personally when trying to hire folks

asciilifeform: ^^ as naggum described

asciilifeform: it is no longer enough to have a uni degree (which i have, in ol'fashioned 'comp sci', fwiw) but also various trained monkey cert idiocies

asciilifeform: and there is also a pestilence of credentialism

asciilifeform: and yes! precisely as mircea_popescu describes

asciilifeform: advertise for just about ~any~ skilled labour thing and you are besieged with 1,001 lying idiots

asciilifeform: ^ this, but also that the lemon market is so dire that folks trying to actually accomplish something tend to be ~extremely~ conservative

asciilifeform: i don't expect mircea_popescu to like ru poetry any more than i expect my phriend from .in to like british.

asciilifeform: no.

asciilifeform: (as well described by naggum, who ~did~ live and work in usa for about a decade)

asciilifeform: the rivers of lying, stinking meat ~have an effect~

asciilifeform: well:

asciilifeform: jurov: ever work in usa ?

asciilifeform: that is, the market is a lemon market, and folks tend to get recruited 95% via meatwot and the remainder via verifiable recs

asciilifeform: because i'm a wizard ~of something~
