ascii_field: trinque: see old book, 'the human zoo', for
a more complete version of this hypothesis
trinque: yeah that's interesting; it's
a sort of degenerate state of
a very healthy urge to have
a pissing match
trinque: ascii_field | as in, picture
a town with no decent place to have
a footrace << starving for
a real challenge; I think so
danielpbarron: other than that they appear to work fine. xfce on openbsd is
a nice fit with the apple style
danielpbarron: two out of two i've looked at have bad disks; one doesn't think it even has
a hard drive anymore
ascii_field: so instead of actually racing, folks start to show off their strength by competing who can walk normally for the longest time with
a knapsack full of crap
ascii_field: as in, picture
a town with no decent place to have
a footrace (too many hills? swamp? use imagination)
trinque: not being flippant, it's
a fact
trinque: ascii_field: from
a perspective it's entirely irrational to have any hope at all; after all, one dies at the end.
ascii_field:
a still largely-intact giant, still walking around and smashing things
ascii_field: yes, '...the ogre cannot master speech' - but it's an ogre -
a bloodthirsty giant
trinque: having an opinionated ass at the top is
a feature
trinque: is that
a markov tweetbot?
davout: for every automatic thing, there's
a computer doing it manually :D
trinque: hmmm... actually you guys have
a point
davout: question mainly being: can some random derp take already notarized deeds, and clog the pipes with them, because i assume deedbot will listen privately to deeds being submitted, as long as they're signed with
a proper key amirite
☟︎ davout: or was that URL
a bundle and not just
a deed?
davout: in other words, how do i access the bundle from
a deed ?
davout: does it also have
a written procedure on how to verify deeds by hand?
trinque: soon as I find
a moment for sanding
☟︎ davout: trinque: gracias, pls to lemme know when it has
a nice interface and rounded corners
davout: justusranvier seems to
a whole new level in derpitude
mircea_popescu: to the degree i had
a heart specialist following me around.
mircea_popescu: i, in all honesty and no exageration whatsoever, averaged 220-230/110 bp for about
a decade.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu peterL i took
a 90% pay cut in 2013 when switching careers 8)
assbot: Logged on 16-03-2015 15:31:30; PeterL: got
a job offer today, pays 25% less than I was making before I got laid off :/
assbot: Logged on 16-03-2015 15:08:58; dignork: Adlai: oh, forgot
a standard robe.
nubbins`: log would make
a worthy tome, if one were able to sieve it first
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 16-03-2015 12:51:56; davout: o
a scoopbot
mircea_popescu: which is why they're not doing this, or any other of
a number of plans that start with
mircea_popescu: (if anyone still wondered what the crab bus was
a metaphor for)
mircea_popescu: it's not
a matter of, couldn't, physically, be done. it's
a matter of couldn't socially be done.
nubbins`: granted, that was
a statue, not
a compicated piece of machinery
ascii_field: nubbins`: not necessarily. can always build it in the enemy's capital,
a bit at
a time
ascii_field: where h-bomb is either
a fat ship or stationary on land
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: it's rather reminiscent of the first h-bomb. the one that needed
a dedicated building with h2 liquifaction cryoplant
mircea_popescu: i'm calling it elegant. because fuck you, i'm
a dragon and im out of words.
mircea_popescu: you write
a play, and this company wants to do it. they're an odd couple really, not much of
a staging company. he's on three different mental meds, she's
a crack whore. they make the scenery out of chewed up used tissue.
nubbins`: while i reserve the term "elegance" for things much, much simpler in execution than the flaming turdball of code, it completely applies to Bitcooin as
a concept
nubbins`: marriage consummation as
a service
ascii_field: encryption-as-
a-service << that has to be
a piece from 'the onion'
PeterL: got
a job offer today, pays 25% less than I was making before I got laid off :/
☟︎ Adlai: so, seeing as hpmor even got mentioned here, i eventually ventured over to read
a bit of it... all else aside, the writing itself stinks just like the canon
dignork: Adlai: oh, forgot
a standard robe.
☟︎ dignork: Adlai: it makes absolute sense from libertarian point of view - army conscription is
a form of slavery...
Adlai: adventures in the modern communism: my reserve salary just barely covers 'national insurance' (the less-dysfunctional zionist sibling of 'social security')... there is
a certain measure of logic in this
mike_c: I'm picturing
a guy standing there scratching his head wondering how he's going to get the X he needs that's in the bottom of that box.
mircea_popescu: that his hours aren't worth anything isn't
a point he's well inclined to grasp under torture, let alone figure out on his own.
cazalla: i sometimes wonder if the guys who set up these two bit exchanges get frustrated at having lost money after
a year despite an expectation they would get bought out and so decide to just steal their users instead so they can sleep well at night thinking they got that illusive 6 billion dorrah google buy out
Vexual: me thinks one was
a fat roll, but still..
cazalla: thestringpuller, i bet the majority of tips came from people who didn't even get
a ride.. 1 btc, almost worth the time to contrive
a similar video
pete_dushenski: or line the doors with drugs and send you to "
a friend's house"
pete_dushenski: because hushmail didn't do that
a decade ago or whatever
ben_vulpes: it has c structs that get derped into whatever c db
a given version is using
ben_vulpes: "but you know you might want to move to
a db that can't enforce constraints on itself like mongo, and then where would you be?"
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: you're aware that this is actually
a thing already, right?
ben_vulpes: more implementations is
a totally fine and good thing.
assbot: where_what_now comments on Time to lobby Bitcoin's core devs: "SF Bitcoin Devs Seminar -- Scalability to billions of transactions per day, satoshi-level Micropayments, near-zero risk of custodial theft, & Instant transactions"... but only w/
a malleability-fixing soft fork. ... (

BingoBoingo: I think Conde at least still owns reddit in part. THing's
a mess.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: they aren't owned by conde nast anymore. but you make
a great point tho.
mircea_popescu: the fall guy, whether
a natural or juridical person, is not "that which doesn't deliver at all".
decimation: the asicminer guys delievered to some degree. why weren't they willing to actually have
a real company with
a real existence, rather than some guy on
a forum thread?
mircea_popescu: the way foxconn is using apple as
a detachable glove / investment point is exactly copied after the manner some chinese guys used "friedcat" / asicminer.
mircea_popescu: so i would humbly suggest that the naked emperor lives in
a cage.
mircea_popescu: in spite of what was it, elsa the she-fox going around endless rows of nude chinese pubescent girls with
a whip and two cobras.
decimation: yes apparently foxconn is doing quite well for apple, apparently there's no need for
a 'competing vendor'
mircea_popescu: "apple's the world's largest buyer of some classes of items. while not the largest in any class of any import, and not the largest buyer in any sort of general perspective, one could select some items by
a criteria more or less alligned with "items apple buys" to make apple apear like the largest buyer of items apple buys"
chetty: careful "young eager sluts" have
a way of turning into mothers
mircea_popescu: the importance of electing presidents that don't actually love the country. not in
a motherly way, at any rate.
mircea_popescu: it's
a do or die sort of measure. either the country picks up,
a la china, or else it goes to shit.
ben_vulpes: i suppose that argetine protectionism isn't working because "argentines are
a buncha retards".
mircea_popescu: that'd be my presidential platform. 1 thing : electronic products are
a point of strategic interest, may not be imported. cya 8 years later.
mircea_popescu: the turmoil this will induce in china takes it off the map. their military is very powerful in
a defensive stance today. it will be offense capable in 2-3 decades, but it's not there yet.
