mircea_popescu: beautyon even if
a vast majority of miners switch it still doesn't do anything for him.
decimation: lol "According to the government’s complaint (PDF), the email address that Gustafson provided on his U.S. passport application was the same one he allegedly used to maintain
a Facebook account under the Jack Farrel alias."
mircea_popescu: i'm counting it as
a marketing expense, unless we win, in which case hey, free money.
mircea_popescu: but one can readily understand why
a verizon for dns is worse than any alternative.
mircea_popescu: orly. im sure they're "commercial" in
a sense other than, "moar bezzle"
decimation: (that is
a web 2.0 'front end' to the prediction program
decimation: asciilifeform: herr shannon's limit ultimately governs your ability to push bits through
a channel
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> (using the latter, conceivably, you might leave your receiver running for three days and in the end
a light comes on; and then you can hear an hour-long broadcast.) << could leave it right to the rainfall collecting bucket
decimation: PeterL:
a 'standard' shortwave channel is 4 kHz in width, through which you can push maybe
a few kilobits/sec depending on what kind of scheme you are using
PeterL: " bullets with enormous electric charges would be accelerated in
a special valve and emmited with several times the velocity of light." <<< lol
punkman: no it needs
a sysadmin for the server, plenty of servers to be had
PeterL: punkman: you are saying the thing works, you just need
a server to run it on?
mircea_popescu: if you look at the feeds they start with
a token which describes the parser for my use
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla srsly polling much more frequently than that's just
a waste.
mircea_popescu: can it be set so it scans every minute, on
a diff second by the blog list ?
mircea_popescu: cazalla $2
a day can't be
a lot if you're stuck with
a $500 piece of machinery + the bills for its maintenance.
cazalla: you wouldn't bother playing it for the payouts but i'm sure someone for who $2
a day is
a lot would find it worthwhile
cazalla: asciilifeform, but this app pays out the moment it awards you, i'm trying to think of
a homer simpson drinking bird means of doing it but no go
cazalla: i don't know if anyone saw that ipad game that pays out 0.0001.. i fucked around with it for an hour or so and earned 0.0003, i'm sure some indian is setting up
a sweatshop to farm it 24/7 as we speak
assbot: Logged on 05-01-2015 17:57:08; kakobrekla: i dont get this scoopbot 30 min delay + fetch command. when i setup rss feed for herr vulpes jenkins (which is now offline for some reason) i hit it once
a minute cause i give no fucks. no need for this -fetch nonsense if you change the interval to something saner.
BingoBoingo: Well, more level. Stamp has
a premium though
assbot: So /Bitstamp is back. Looks like there's
a familiar BTC price premium there as people dump their fiat.
RagnarDanneskjol: re molokization of deedbot v2.0 - no idea what you're talkin about? has nothing to do with me. also don't recall pestering anyone here ever..once in
a blue moon I will ask questions in pm if I'm not authed/voiced.
RagnarDanneskjol: my understanding is the first bot went down b/c my friend disi found
a server vulnerability which I promptly brought to your attention (I originally recommended you NOT have moloko do admin / continued development b/c I knew he was not suited for it). I followed the recent convo here and lead me to understand the only issue with punkbot was the vps got flooded and shut down...that's punkman's understandi
BingoBoingo: Nebulous, but
a time sink. One that delays implementation of thing that by all means seemed to work as advertised up until obstacle.
mircea_popescu: yeah, except in
a society that does this everyone's doing something else stupid to compensate willy-nilly.
mircea_popescu: i'd rather have 10 cops that have
a ld50 dose of 3 shooting assailants than 10k cops that basically constitute ballistic sacks.
mircea_popescu: this isn't
a "and they run into
a cop while he had his back turned and shot him dead". this is "french police reliably can not hold its own against determined assailants". well...
mircea_popescu: on one hand, because
a lot means they're expensive, and taken from more useful stuff. on the other, because if the cop can't hold his own then why even have him.
mircea_popescu: but that's exactly my problem here. there are
A LOT of derps masquerading as cops. neither of these is good.
davout: but yeah, there are quite
a few cops in paris
mircea_popescu: so. ran into
a random patrol. shot at them. moved on, ran into another. shot at them too. ran into random cop. shot him too.
mircea_popescu: they don't stop crime, they just bother the 0.x% remaining parisians who actually have
a job that's not enacted by hollande's fiat
mircea_popescu: if you want
a gun legally, you should instead buy
a cop.
mircea_popescu: not at all what i mean. consider the difference between say,
a carpertner apprentice and
a cowboy apprentice, both 15 in 1915.
mircea_popescu: obviously that process only works in
a narrow conventional field, to the degree it might as well be
a literary device. but literary characters are not necessarily aware of their conventional nature.
mircea_popescu: yeah, perianne boring is
a product of
a process, rather than
a person.
decimation: well, the ostenisble reason is 'security', but the actual reason is that it is one more 'perk' that can be given as
a favor by someone who appears to have power
decimation: suddenly 'because security' - tourist are now restricted to little groups led by
a poor student
decimation: up until
a few years ago, it was permissible for anyone to walk into the Capitol and walk wherever they pleased
mircea_popescu: only
a minority of which with visible cum stains on dress/hair
mircea_popescu: but yes, decimation has
a good point. nothing brings the abandonment of that republic clearer in view than going through its halls while on business.
decimation: 99% of the time the room is completely empty except for the speaker,
a few derps on the podium, and
a clerk or two
assbot: Logged on 09-01-2015 00:39:45; pete_dushenski: and it might be
a bit loose to call spinoza an inventor given that he only crafted words
decimation: I think there's
a soft-money aspect here too
mircea_popescu: jurov brings
a very interesting question re supporting eulora. we could in principle drop 32 bit support. now, if this were
a crypto thing or any such high assurance system i'd never consider it. but it's
a game.
mircea_popescu: gerontocracy is necessarily
a failure mode of soviet states
decimation:
http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2015/01/02/1418761112 << lol usg 'research': "The number of principal investi- gators for R01s who are 36 y of age or youn- ger has declined from 18% in 1983 to 3% in 2010. Today, more than twice as many R01s are awarded to principal investigators who are over 65 y as are under 36 y,
a reversal from only 15 y ago."
mircea_popescu: prolly help if it were signed / dated, but that's not such
a big deal.
BingoBoingo: Most common size the things come in is fuck up
a few trees and remove approximately one roof
mircea_popescu: i wonder if there should be some sort of tracked or maybe flexible wing roof remover ? like
a huge can opener.
assbot: Logged on 09-01-2015 19:42:28; mircea_popescu: i'm paying 2btc (once) in return for
a single btc stolen from bitstamp's aws cloud after today. comes with
a signed certificate.
thestringpuller: the music is all programmed in layers so that depending on what the user is doing the music triggers, but it's all timed to
a single metronome: the heart beat of the city
mod6: i do kinda wish i could grow
a mustasche like those guys in the picture though.
mod6: when your digits start to thaw, they feel like someone hit them with
a sledge hammer. not
a ton of fun I tell you.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, this is
a point often skirted by the "paradise on earth" folk, be they "bitcoin country" or anything-else-country (loads of these historically) : not everyone likes thesame!
mircea_popescu: anyway, "In its heyday, Empire Ranch was one of the largest in Arizona, with
a range spanning over 180 miles, and its owner, Walter L. Vail, was an important figure in the establishment of southern Arizona's cattle industry."
mircea_popescu: i'm paying 2btc (once) in return for

☟︎ mircea_popescu: i hope hje's partenering with kenna to start
a moon printing program
gribble: What do you think I am,
a shell?
