BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> wai would a richd00d
take ballshrinkelixir << Apparently some users find shrank balls more comfortable, also HCG can be used
to preven
the shrink
mircea_popescu: the "appear hamplanet harmless" ploy not even bad approach
to
that goal.
BingoBoingo: Because Bezos sees pantsuit in disarray and wants
to become a bull in move
to capture pantsuit for self instead of being its bitch boy
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: You gotta read it for what it is, appeal
to his re-adolescent ego.
BingoBoingo: Yes, and in 18 months
Trump will go from equalling Bezos in Senator count
to clearly passing Bezos
BingoBoingo: Apparently
they are sexually harassing
the boss
to get him fired? Or mebbe he used owning a newspaper
to ghostwrite
the
thing.
mircea_popescu: did
the guy's payola mcnuggets & happy meals not make it
this month or wtf is
their problem.
BingoBoingo: Apparently pantsuits like
to give
the rimjob
to
the boss?
BingoBoingo: Well, gotta probe vanity publishing ass further: "Bezos used
to be a giant baby-faced, Kevin-Spacey-faced nerd who sold
textbooks on a website and looked ecstatic merely
to be alive. Now, he’s buying up bougie grocery stores and publishing a newspaper with a metal-ass
tagline. He’s in
the putting businesses out of business business, and he’s got
the muscle and shaved head
to prove it."
mircea_popescu: o we're down
to "most people know" ? i
thought usg shares were firmly at "everyone knows" ?
BingoBoingo: Apparently according
to his fake news outlet: "Most people know
that online firearm sales create big loopholes
that allow customers
to bypass background checks—but who knew e-commerce pioneer Jeff Bezos was hawking guns like
these?!
The Amazon CEO and Washington Post owner showed up
to an Idaho conference in a skintight
T-shirt last week, displaying a set of arms most reasonable observers would classify as assault weapons."
BingoBoingo: WAPO Returns headline: "Swole Jeff Bezos Is Exactly
the Meme
the World Needed"
mircea_popescu: ie, people will drop ~a specific form~ of a stupid idea just as soon as it's literally beaten from
their cold, dead hands, AND NEVER BEFORE.
mircea_popescu: they get scraped off, new sets come on, it's
the fate of ship on open seas.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, it's quite evident and not a matter open
to much dispute
that a whole lot of not-really-into-bitcoin barnacles have been steadily accumulating, at least in
their own esitmation, since 2012 or so.
mircea_popescu: by
this understanding of forking, everyone running a bitcoin node on a box
that's lost internet connection "forked"
mircea_popescu: "we'll call it classic and pretend like it's
totally different in our fakenews rags"
mircea_popescu: (echo "obase=16" ; cat fct.txt) | bc >> fact-hex.txt works as expected
to convert btw.
floog: where do get
turkeys? where do run after
turkeys acquired?
badD00d: anyway,
thanks for putting up with my questions
BingoBoingo: The solution is get poor, stack up some
turkeys, and blow
the joint
BingoBoingo: floog: Nah,
that's
the
thing. If you make yourself fiat poor
THEY en-PRIVILEDGE YOU
mircea_popescu: floog
the only reason you're not getting rammed is
that you don't have anything worth stealing.
mircea_popescu: apparently
the "it REALLY doesn't matter what you do" point is entirely incomprehensible
to
teh esl.
floog: BingoBoingo: I'm going
to keep paying my bills, i'd rather not get rammed by
the USG when it comes after its money. im cool with everything else
though
BingoBoingo: badD00d:
TRB now WILL accept segwit blocks, but it will not parse
the segwit'd portion as anything other
than "anyone can spend"
mircea_popescu: the notion
that bitcoin can somehow by stolen by name is so ridoinculous as
to betray its ustardian origins. bitcoin is not a name.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: if
the us fed starts printing "one hundred bitcoin" bills instead of
the current one hundred dollar bills,
this'll also do ~nothing as far as nayone is concerned.
mircea_popescu: your question is ill posed. if
tomorrow a large enough collection of idiots decides
to call making hooky "bitcoin",
this will be great and good and entirely uninteresting for bitcoin.
badD00d: I am wondering if you have an estimation as
to when
this will be and as a second questions (if
TRB nodes will be
the ONLY non-shit accepting nodes, or if you
think
there are other groups of people running nodes
that will side with your nodes and continue rejecting shit
mircea_popescu: they're consuming
teh fiat dollars as it is, doesn't seem
to have much impact on anything.
badD00d: like at some point,
the shitty masses are going
to start consuming
their fake shitty blocks.
badD00d: right, and I respect
that. I guess I am wondering when you
think
the majority of hashing power will start agreeing on non-legit shit blocks?
badD00d: will
TRB nodes start rejecting blocks whenever BIP91 or other bologna segwit proposals gain
the majority hashing power?
badD00d: question for
the
TRB node running gentlemen
BingoBoingo: <mod6> some proper anal right
there << Also great example of
the importance of selecting
the woman for ergonomics.
BingoBoingo: <floog> emphasis on 'poor' << Next come
to believe
that a HIGHER POWER (perhaps one your came here
to unwrap) can restore you
to sanity
BingoBoingo: <floog> at least it pays for
the whale of student debt from
the private uni
that my parents convinced me was a good investment << Get fiat poor, stop paying, admit powerlessness. You are at rock bottom. Your bankruptcy now is not a financial one, but a moral and spiritual one. However
THERE IS A SOLUTION!
mod6: fun
to read
this stuff
mod6: damn
these old logs.
floog: well, it just says 'redacted
the actual goodies'
mod6: there've been a bunch of
threads on it in
the logs.
mod6: ben_vulpes lays it out
there eh?
mod6: <+mircea_popescu>
that "abstract art" work we shall call
the colors of factorial. <<
this sounds interesting
mod6: some proper anal right
there
mircea_popescu: in other lulz,
takes
this box longer
to sha, or
to gzip,
than it
takes
to download.

too short
to attempt
to use eyeballs as diff.
a111: Logged on 2016-10-04 15:36 asciilifeform: ACHTUNG, PANZERS! pc engines 'apu2' (the board with
the intel nics - vs. 'apu1', with realtek) ,
turns out, is crippled, hdt probe barfs with it,
the cpu is reputed
to have a drm fuse set.
mircea_popescu: in
truth avbout half engineering careers of any brightness started with a 15yo in a junkshop going " i wonder if worth "
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform heh i guess you're
the internets sageprobe authority. cuz everything is online and mit keeps churning out experts
floog: at least it pays for
the whale of student debt from
the private uni
that my parents convinced me was a good investment
floog: well,
the intro seems all
too relevant
to my current situation as a "software engineer" at a hightraffic clickbait website
deedbot: mircea_popescu rated floog 1 << perhaps he's stumbled into
the right place
mircea_popescu: !!rate floog 1 perhaps he's stumbled into
the right place
floog: ive been looking for something
to mentally unwrap, so it seems ive stumbled into
the right place
mircea_popescu: sina's actually working on something closer
to your original idea, gossipd.
mircea_popescu: yes,
the ample
towers and bridges of
the most serene republic's capitol may
take a while
to mentally unwrap.
floog: i
thought it had more
to do with
tracking people in your wot, which ive just become barely familiar with. but i only briefly skimmed
the V.py implementation
BingoBoingo: Rochard's
