mircea_popescu: you can't be in this cast if you can't make rent. and no, wondering "What my youthfull good looks are worth" does not work with that show
mircea_popescu: you're approximately in the position of a 20something woman who wants to be part of the cast of friends but doesn't have the rent.
mircea_popescu: you can't sell it. if you keep it functioning well and in good shape, you can have an empire on the basis of it.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field about the same that the us court system is worth.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field god damned weren't you going on about how it needs sbcl machine bla bla ?
mircea_popescu: punkman kinda what i was proposing, a progressive scale. imo the way i stated it is better pr, but whatevs.
mircea_popescu: there is no reason under the sun to process, manage, consider or in any way interact with subdollar transactions.
mircea_popescu: seems it is saner to be paid in money than in time, to me.
mircea_popescu: i suppose if you prefer i can instead make it a time rule, and be like "bets under 0.0001 are paid in a year. bets under 0.01 are paid in a week"
mircea_popescu: which will come back to me, and i have to sit on it, and create more dust to payout.
mircea_popescu: think that i have to keep SOME dust over here while idiots get aggitated because "o noes it's been 25 hours" so im now creating more dust
mircea_popescu: it is not worth my time to handle 10k satoshi txn for less than 10k satoshi. this is a fact.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field so you hate them, that's fine, but you can't impugn the whole subdiscipline just because idiots somewhere
mircea_popescu: currently this CAN work as an extraction engine - it costs me more to make the payouts than i take in.
mircea_popescu: it's also a problem of cost. dust txn impose a cost on us.
mircea_popescu: kakobreklaa it will discourage people from sending them.
mircea_popescu: neither of which can be read reductionistically to "petrochem".
mircea_popescu: and my examples were around genome research and biosynthesizer identification
mircea_popescu: no. speaking of catalythic chemistry. as a thing. which it is.
mircea_popescu: aka "let's ignore what's being said and run off with one marginal example of the broad category discussed".
mircea_popescu: "In its classical form the BZ reaction consist of a one-electron redox catalyst"
mircea_popescu: this inspires me! tonight ima have one girl write nickserv on her pubis, and the other chanserv
mircea_popescu: ever since qm reduced macro tm to the status of macro tm
mircea_popescu: it is merely the experimental verification of the theoretically obvious
mircea_popescu: but by your very definition this is not a fundamental result.
mircea_popescu: this is like complaining electric engineering didn't invent any new type of electron.
mircea_popescu: it never happened in chemistry. it was always physics.
mircea_popescu: you've still not defined your "fundamental" "actula thing"
mircea_popescu: i don't care you sat on your tatched roof in mongolia and thus "dreamed" of skyscraper.
mircea_popescu: but the FACT that now there are 17 floor buildings IS fundament.
mircea_popescu: you can fucking go around looking for biosynthesizers now, for this reason
mircea_popescu: this is nonsense, srlsy. the 70s-90s in catalysts are more important than anything that ever happened in chemistry.
mircea_popescu: how the fuck do you think you have genome sequencing, otherwise, and why the fuck do you think woman's stockings is a bigger deal.
mircea_popescu: what the fuck's gonna happen, invent a new electron load ?
mircea_popescu: yes well nothing fundamental has happened in physics since mendeleev
mircea_popescu: adlai because it's not true. they get accused of the scams they actually pull.
mircea_popescu: my god, ceo is going to go the way of nigger and handicapped within my lifetime isn't it.
mircea_popescu: ie, that same 1-2% of the coins that are in hands of self important usg ceo/vc types.
mircea_popescu: which indicates that it's mostly people moving the same btc back and forth.
mircea_popescu: <jurov> punkman, on superficial look it does not return getblock() data anymore << nuts. so 0.11 is forked off the network then ?
mircea_popescu: <jurov> i tried to sync my 0.5.4 to core 0.11, it won't sync << this is a horribru error message.
mircea_popescu: <assbot> Pentagon Farmed Out Its Coding to Russia - The Daily Beast << ahahahaha no, really ?
mircea_popescu: random thought of the day : wtf is this "boyfriend" bs. girlfriend i can see, but it's manfriend innit.
mircea_popescu: anyway, this "can't have X, can't have non-X" sorta thing will necessarily resolve itself in time. there's no other way.
mircea_popescu: alfie grew an extra hand, was looking for exactly this type of flexible deal to help pay for his latest nuclear missile arrangement.
mircea_popescu: well... asciilifeform meet ben_vulpes ; ben_vulpes meet asciilifeform
