thestringpuller: "There's the field that I keep threatening to quit computers for: plumbing. One plumber I dealt with once told me that he makes more than most doctors. Of course, you have to go through a long apprenticeship and journeyman period during which you don't make nearly that much. "

BingoBoingo: Alright, now I'm drunk language errors now are acceptable.
BingoBoingo: I've been to Usian strip clubs before I know that the American Negress will bleed anything of value that that can imagine exists from a strip club patron.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Nah. I just need to travel to a sufficiently poor country to acquire one.
BingoBoingo: World revolves around these dilemas. Why am I right handed but left eye dominant?
BingoBoingo: Laugh, but I can't get USD.
asciilifeform: difference is that i can always get more usd.

thestringpuller: i wouldn't mind the risk so much if the chance of accidents also provided a chance of developing super powers

undata: I am not
undata: BingoBoingo: oh I love emacs; still need something for when you shut the laptop though

Pierre_Rochard: Hi, I was starting to miss this place
assbot: north County cowboyz/Feel Me da u.n.i.o.n - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1tiTsZP )
BingoBoingo: Of course. Fire has metabolism, so it is a living thing. I kill about 20 fires a day when I put out my cigarettes.
undata: asciilifeform: yep, during the recent portland "protest" I found a livestream of some hipster there; he was flirting with a girl for the 20sec I watched
asciilifeform: neglected detail being, most of the participants, as i understand, aren't ideologically moved
BingoBoingo: I dunno that it is much more illiterate. I've met plenty of dumb white folk.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: as i understand, the rioters have no truck with lizard hitler; they protest against an imagined comfortable white suburbanite
BingoBoingo: I only link it, because apparently tonight there has been yet another shooting incident in Ferguson. No idea yet if a person has been shot.
kakobrekla: i knew it was small but never actually checked
decimation: the only incentive I can imagine is if the chinese gov't decides to subsidize the project
asciilifeform: i also explained that they have no economic incentive at all to do this.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: for instance, i'm unable to find it advertised for sale at anything like a reasonable price, anywhere on the planet
decimation: I mention this because nearly all arm chips come baked in a SoC
asciilifeform: iirc, it was designed by a woman. i won't psychiatrize on this point, but let's see what mircea makes of it!
decimation: I was chatting with some cyanogen mod developers about a particular arm-based phone
asciilifeform: incidentally, i bring up 'arm' to remind folks that we are quickly approaching (or perhaps past) the point of being stuck with a turd every bit as odious as x86
kakobrekla: dicking around i thought.
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: thx, but i don't need these for anything
kakobrekla: looks like i can also raise another instance
kakobrekla: if i send it, it may arrive sometime.
kakobrekla: yes i was reading it real time.
assbot: Logged on 25-12-2014 03:52:10; asciilifeform: every day i wonder why the 'arm' architecture so thoroughly beat 'mips' (closest competitor in the 'risc' world) in the markets
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: it worked, but that particular chip/board had uncommonly slow i/o, it was nearly unusable
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: on, if i recall, a 'raspberry'
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: i actually did this at one point.
kakobrekla: so if i tell you im compiling the latest bitcoind on an ARM could, do i get expelled from here?
asciilifeform: and, to return to that old thread, i still think that mircea is mistaken about the current crop of miners being something other than 'structured asic'
kakobrekla: i dun think he was the first and certainly not last.
fluffypony: <mircea_popescu> btw, since i've been reading my old romanian bitcoin articles, landed on some gems. anyone remembers vladimir's asic ? <- what was the story there?
decimation: oh I thought it went into lake Michigan or something
asciilifeform: now i'd like to learn,
asciilifeform: of course, if you read pg's piece correctly (i.e. substitute 'exceptionally obedient coolie' for 'exceptional programmer', the contradictions are instamagically resolved.
BingoBoingo: The worst part of this clusterfuck of errors is I haven't even had a drink yet. Fucking language learning app on the new pet android device robbing my brain of all of its glucose.
thestringpuller: It's like New Mexico, but with oil I thought.
thestringpuller: i would put all military funding into science!
thestringpuller: i would make everyone do science
kakobrekla: also this is lulzy > “When bitcoin first came out, I was on the cryptography mailing list. When it happened, I sort of laughed. Because I had already proven that decentralized consensus was impossible.”
cazalla: thestringpuller, sale is pretty shitty, nothing i really wanted
asciilifeform: this, notably, is not high science. it's decades-old sop in electronic warfare field (yes, there are textbooks. in english, even. i have one right here.)
Vexual: thinking "why can't i do this at home?!?!?"
devthedev: cazalla: I'm quite surprised you didn't win the Changetip contest during the Bitcoinbowl
cazalla: i imagine litecoin bagholders won't be too happy about being back at #4 according to coinmarketcap ha
bitstein: Right? And from your recap, I'm glad that they were able to help bring attention to a celebrated American tradition with two teams that seem to really have a love of the game.
BingoBoingo: I just figured someone had to go over the product Bitpay was sponsoring.
davout: b00lcrap: i can't believe it's still going on
b00lcrap: even if i get ddosed i mean they couldnt possibly make my internet any worse
davout: yeah, i'm implying that it shouldn't be *that* surprising for a PDF
davout: BingoBoingo: i heard some webpages actually do that too
Vexual: yeah, i'm a glass half full kinda thing
Vexual: http://i.guim.co.uk/static/w-1430/h--/q-95/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2014/12/19/1419016659318/6a833581-45e3-4536-908c-787f1d40c819-2060x1329.jpeg kakobrekla: you had a better week than this?

kakobrekla: anyway now i see my week wasnt all that bad.
Overand: I mean it's *some* good
decimation: I'm thinking more of a mesh network than a point-to-point
decimation: I think what shortwave would be better for would be a transaction network
decimation: at any rate, I'm not sure that shortwave is really suited for blockchain broadcast unless one had a really big transmitter (and more importantly - government-allocated bandwidth)
Overand: haven't tried since i improveed my antenna situation
Overand: and yeah. i've never gotten a DRM broadcast reliably here in the US, but, who knows
decimation: I guess the max block size is 1 MB
decimation: I think it would be possible to fit the blockchain into a 2400 bps channel
Overand: decimation: So I've heard.
decimation: Overand: as for 'replacing the internet', I suppose it depends on what those 7 billion people have to say
Overand: Anyway, point being I'm not a total idiot when it comes to this.
Overand: I'm only general.
decimation: I'm an extra too
Overand: i don't think i've worked 80 down
Overand: decimation: Also, I'm a ham radio operator, I've had plenty of conversations via shortwave
