kakobrekla: btw not too much relevant but i wedged 0.7 at 252450
ben_vulpes: so i've pushed my 0.5.3 up to block 249618, and am now going to run it past the block at which asciilifeform reports wedging, and hopefully all the way to memory exhaustion
mircea_popescu: anyway. the problem of re-reading. i find goldsmith much less on point than i did back when i first read him.
mircea_popescu: i so loathe it when people try to serve a solid point by pious fraud.

ben_vulpes: i seek that bh letter mpoe-pr posted that talks about diminishing returns on hardware investments
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes can i assist ?
mircea_popescu: (i obviously fucked up my digit breaks, but i think the idea carries anyway ?)
JorgePasada: maybe I mis-used the word 'risk' earlier
JorgePasada: It's just that, if we're still talking about the vertically integrated mining thing, I don't see it as a viable play to accumulate wealth
JorgePasada: mircea_popescu: Yeah, I'd agree with that quote and your subsiquent comment for the most part
JorgePasada: I mean, if you can say
JorgePasada: I don't think it'll happen, too much concentration of risk. Maybe in like 3 years after the next reward cut
cazalla: i imagine knc will mine and then once returns drop, they'll begin selling the cloud services to mine from customers wallets than bitcoin mining itself
asciilifeform: the vertically-integrated miner i spoke of 1yr ago - is either coming, or is churning already.
cazalla: i suspect most of them are ponzi and some operate as such until they collect enough funds to actually mine, fake it till you make it "the secret" type shit
decimation: at any rate, I'm sure the qntra readers in French Polynesia are disappointed
decimation: I guess local routers are more trafficed during daylight
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i imagined the way this works is, an actual provider somewhere gets orders from random derps on whatever forum
JorgePasada: Man, I have way too many blockchains on this machine
Apocalyptic: so can I
mircea_popescu: so is this qntra down thing actually ? cuz i still see it...
mircea_popescu: i suppose one could put their bed on a gravimeter, the evaluate the fucking quality
mircea_popescu: mike_c: some do. google bot runs JS. << last i heard it was buggy as hell
ben_vulpes: lady v and i do "drunk in love"
JorgePasada: ben_vulpes: Sorry I didn't get back to you the other night, lady friend dragged me kicking and singing to Karaoke
ben_vulpes: oh i thought we were playing "if i could stroll into the gold vaults with toys" game
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> the one thing i would do if permitted to walk in a mega-vault of au is... bring a pocket geiger along (the kind that logs to flash rom, not the kind that 'clicks') << video camera inline with sensor axis too, yeah?
mircea_popescu: i don't share the power rangers' suspicions of Werner Koch.
cazalla: decimation, give em more benefits, i'm over fighting it, better to accelerate the demise
mircea_popescu: dude, i expect the world out of 100 years of communism.
JorgePasada: when I travel, everything is up in the air :-)
JorgePasada: I hardly know what I'm doing tomorrow when I'm in the country I live in
mircea_popescu: anyway, i still don't know why anyone in his right mind would go to that stinky, crowded, desperate shitstain of an island.
mircea_popescu: "fuck you, i do what i want?"
JorgePasada: "Ok I'll let you in, even though I shouldn't. Don't come here again without a plan."
mircea_popescu: JorgePasada me coming here, "where are you going to stay ?" "no idea" "you know i have to put something in the machine ?" "recomend a good hotel ?" "x" "wut ?" "X!" "write it down wouldja" guy gives me a postit. "ok, so that's where i'll be staying".
JorgePasada: "How do we know you won't stay here if you don't have a return ticket?" - 'For starters I can work from wherever I want and It's 3 times the cost of living here..."
JorgePasada: "What do you mean you don't know?" - 'I mean I'm going to a wedding and it's in 3 days and I have a phone and the internet'
JorgePasada: "Where are you staying?" - 'I dunno'
JorgePasada: Man, when I was in London this summer
mats_cd03: i am dazed and unalert.
mats_cd03: 21:04:31 <+asciilifeform> the one thing i would do if permitted to walk in a mega-vault of au is... bring a pocket geiger along (the kind that logs to flash rom, not the kind that 'clicks') << what would be the purpose of this exercise?
JorgePasada: mircea_popescu: wolud be funny but physics wouldn't let that happen, at least no mix of physics I can think of
undata: I was too slow to bash :(
JorgePasada: I saw this anamation of the lagrange points of Jupiter and how they drag asteroids around the sun with them. Pretty badass.
asciilifeform: the one thing i would do if permitted to walk in a mega-vault of au is... bring a pocket geiger along (the kind that logs to flash rom, not the kind that 'clicks')
decimation: asciilifeform: I think the pros only accept bars they personally melt
asciilifeform: (Au is a fascinatingly multi-layered bezzlecake. i.e., does your paper Au correspond to physical Au that you could redeem for? if so, what fraction? and if redeemed, how much tungsten in the bars? and if no tungsten, what will happen to you and your gold after it is known to be sitting in your pocket? etc)
cazalla: <asciilifeform> http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-11-18/ukraine-admits-its-gold-gone <<< today i learned australia has less gold than iraq
decimation: yes, and in fact I've done exactly that because it is rare to find properly sharpened knives in the us
mike_c: but i think it's smart enough not to trigger analytic scripts.
cazalla: i don't think ddos is counted
mats_cd03: i wonder how many bots contribute to those stats
cazalla: oh, i thought it was to stop others reading
nubbins`: i hate hot cinnamon
cazalla: fivezerotwo, can you stop for 5 minutes so i can publish an article
mats_cd03: i wonder what tat wanted an army for...
asciilifeform: 'petertodd jrayhawk: it's interesting how more than one tor dev I've spoken too firmly believes Werner Koch - gnupg maintainer - is a NSA/BND plant with the goal of ensuring gnupg remains unusable (e.g. strong opposition to any attempt to make it into a library)'
asciilifeform: 'hearn: well i assumed that too when the docs first leaked last year. i kept waiting for the slide shows about the compromised CA's.
cazalla: i didn't up you knowing you were going to promote that shit
cazalla: undata, they? i only have one, not as lucky as some
asciilifeform: cazalla: i must confess that it remains mostly unknown to me.
nubbins`: i guess the coming home part depends on how good you are at making important life decisions ;p
cazalla: A guy told me one time.. do not let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner.. why didn't i listen lol
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah it's where i got it from.
thestringpuller: i see!
mircea_popescu: i propose euman as the term. it's different from human in that it's BETTER!
mircea_popescu: i'm sold.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i've been trying to pinpoint the pathology for a while now. this so far is the best hypothesis i know.
mircea_popescu: puritards, i swear... they're worse than the catholics.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suspect precisely this, almost to a word, is a formative experience for every boy with half a brain. sorta like if adult tells boy that sky is same colour as grass
mircea_popescu: i still can't shake the same bemused, "wait, did the monkey srsly just try to shoot me with a stick" disbelief whenever confronted with it, to this day.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: that is, 'slavery is bad mmkay because what if you were a slave' << lol i remember an encounter with this in kindergarten. substitute whoever attacked some longstanding privilege of mine that i meanwhile forgot with the totally unexpected "can't do that, because what if all the other kids want it too ?"
asciilifeform: i bet that modern folks will discover, to some surprise, how many were subscribed to the 'last bullet health & pension insurance co.'
mircea_popescu: anyway. in the country where no man may say "do it this way ~becayse i say so~" all sorts of pathologies are bound to develop. because in point of fact a country has some scope for that sort of thing, whether you want to or not. and like in any living organism, once a metabolic pathway is blocked, homeostasis becomes extremely difficult if at all possible. and will take all sorts of crazy to pull off.
mircea_popescu: "i was following orders111" "who the fuck from ?" "reality!"
mircea_popescu: right ? i predict "the dictates of reality" as a concept to make its appearance at the war on terror warcrimes tribunal.
asciilifeform: i voz oonly fulloving urderz!
mircea_popescu: yet, everyone loves this "i had no choice" and "what would you have me do ? LEAVE ?" thing.
mircea_popescu: just like a professor won't have the mp superbity to go into the review meeting hands in pockets and deliver a stern "fuck you, i'm doing you a favor being here, now you prove yourselves to me and then go home."
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo ".@rabite I think I liked you better as a Christian, could you go back to the Jesus stuff please" lol
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah, i believe their sustenance is genuine.
mats_cd03: legitimate grievances or not, i don't see a problem with taking up arms in support of wutever they believe
