mircea_popescu: otherwise, the pension funds end up hodling
anyway,
and the fed rescues them,
and here we are.
ben_vulpes: <decimation> I asked 'why don't you just use a cnc mill to shape the parts'. the answer: 1.) they apparently don't 'do' computers
and 2.) the aircraft were all half-ass made to the blueprints
anyway, often with 'by hand' adjustments << uh yeah that's how hand machining worked

mircea_popescu: granted, the communist halp was by
and large not much better, but
anyway,
mircea_popescu:
anyway, the thing is just on the margin : the common "action express" .5 round is generally stopped by a level 3
and always by a level 4 vest.
mircea_popescu: mike_c
anyway, the demographic that supposedly "doesn'ty exist"
and "doesn't matter"
and "never wins elections"
and so on
and so forth.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, to imagine the "ban smoking" thing is an isolated incident is naive. no, there's a shitton of these underway, continuously,
and generally unreported.
jurov:
and it isn't a big sum
anyway BingoBoingo: sjsqd:
Anyway the qntra thing can probably also help with some background on differences between the Vessenes' foundation
and the (dot)foundation
mircea_popescu:
anyway. if there's anyone who actually had the patience ot read all this stuff
and wishes to proffer a summary please do.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, everything in that world devolves to spam, it's one
and only true mother.
nubbins`:
anyway, there's just over a bitcoin
and a half there
gabriel_laddel: eh, not what I wanted,
and I don't care to find the article. In any case, what is 'your country'
anyway?
mircea_popescu: mats: give it another four years
and all the useful combat vets will have exited the service out of sheer disgust << almost there
anyway, yeh.
mircea_popescu: <mats>
and anyway i like to see what people offended by mp are up to << lol me too. but this guy... he's not offended, he's just trying to you knwo, "make it in this game".
mats:
and anyway i like to see what people offended by mp are up to
mircea_popescu: but yes, the "sexual disorder" of the 90s is definitely coming to a close. it's too expensive,
and to most dickheads undesirable
anyway.
mircea_popescu: well
anyway. when a bunch of idiots decide to make "their own exchange"
and pretend like it has to do with bitcoin, it gets laughed at in b-a
and goes away in about 18 months.
mircea_popescu: goes for a phd. parents support "education" becasuse parents are a) idiotic
and b) mostly women buy the time she's 25
anyway mircea_popescu:
anyway, thank god dijkstra died
and i don't have to read 2014 abominations from him like i have to read 2014 "manifest destiny" abominations from buffett.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, my dad was 23 (army).
and nofcuking body thought this is young.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, that they're "iraquis" is ridoinculous beyond belief. not even the usg believes anyone'd believe it, hence the "
and kurdish" because supposedly nobody knows who the kurds are. except...
mircea_popescu: ascii_field> mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
and then << the general concept being that people will find themselves under so much pressure as the thing advances, that marginals (ie, people who depend on paychecks etc) are prolly in a very weak position to participate
anyway.
PeterL: a couple jobs ago, when I interviewed the guy grabbed a random coworker
and asked "don't you like working here", they were like "ummmmmmm, sure?" that should have been a sign, but I took job
anyway mircea_popescu: "Yet another article describing what we've known for a while : secure computing is in fact rendered impossible by the hardware itself, what with DMAi, what with defective separation of controlii with CPUs embedded in all the peripherals
anyway and so on
and so forth."
cazalla: mike_c, that is specific to #b-a moreso than Bitcoin in general isn't it?
and anyway, if i pursue this by myself in the short-mid term, it'll reflect on me instead of b-a website
mircea_popescu:
anyway : the quote you took carries a certain meaning in its original context (physics - esp "natural" is a term of art in physics)
and is an entirely different thing in the new context (coding). i fully agree with the quote as it is on the source blog
mircea_popescu: "There are very few classics in the field of computing. We are at the very beginning of this journey
and it hasn't even begun to get interesting yet. IMHO, the Cathedral vs. Bazaar isn't in
anyway a dilemma or a classic. Linux was a failure 20 years ago, it is a failure today
and any posturing otherwise is just that. "
mircea_popescu: notwithstanding that a) not really
and b) a machine's not really supposed to boot
anyway danielpbarron: except it's a dirty hack,
and the pogo crashes
anyway decimation: mircea_popescu: lol he goes on: "It's probably unnecessary to point out that this increase in lifestyle is built on the increased work product of whoever will do it for 30 cents an hour,
and anyway it is a red herring. The real attraction for us isn't just the lifestyle, but that it systematizes-- it makes normal-- not ever wondering: how come we have more lifestyle when we didn't do more work? "
ascii_field: clearly marked, zlib is toggled off;
and, in the comment, warns that recent 'boost' is braindamaged
and demands it
anyway mircea_popescu:
anyway, tell them it'll be ~4500 more per month,
and as if they're sure.
mod6:
anyway, just thought i'd stop in
and update you quick. thanks for looking!!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
anyway, to revisit this point : the byzantine generals problem is specifically
and exactly mathematically formalised cowardice.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, the turks mowed them down,
and so the commanding officer sent the romanian kind a "plz save us telegram'. so the romanian army moved in, beat back the turks, took some impossible redoubts, lost like a third of the men
and that was that.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, it needs 850k so people can be paying rents, mortgages
and college debt in california.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, the quote i wanted "A treia observatie este ca-i falsa teoria conform careia a te iubi cu doua fete e dificil din motive de anduranta fizica, adica tu abia rezisti s-o multumesti pe una, ce te faci cind is doua ?!"
and from there on, "Ei bine, cu doua fete prezente, dornice si rabolite ambele segmente se extind cacascavalu' pane, si nu se mai dau dom'le duse. Chiar glumeam ca-i distractia pulii situatia, vrea s
mircea_popescu:
anyway, people readily forget history. siegel had to beg
and steal new york money to build, what essentially was, the first building in the desert.
BingoBoingo: onewhosits: More just some vandal has a bot that lurks
and DoS's connections as it seens them join. Cloak should be enough to defeat that. To connect with Tor you'd need a cloak
anyway.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, to save teh noobs : in no case am i proposing that the bizarro atrocities of the muslims, stereotypically grouped above under " stoning innocent girls in the road" are an effectual approach to the problem [of overrepresentation of woman in their own mental space]. it clearly doesn't work, but then again it's clearly what they're trying.
and obviously it's not the god damned women's fault that dudes are all hang
mircea_popescu: So when you get the temporary reprieve tomorrow--
and it is temporary-- you should do whatever you have to to get off the dole; you are getting off of it
anyway.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, if you want to hang someone for the horrible state of publishing
and/or us business culture these days, she's as good as anyone.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, it's funny just how self-contradictory the guy is,
and how carefully crafted his pile,
and how incredibly unstable in spite of all that effort. reading his lengthy posts is sort-of like admiring someone who managed to build a half mile tall chair pile in his quest to get to the moon on chairs.
mircea_popescu: Adlai how much it spends is arbitrarily small
anyway,
and set to a certain sum more to encourage the diggers than anything tho ?
hanbot:
anyway, ludicrous as the entire thing is, the usnews version irked me with subrug sweeping. there are ways to handle agents,
and there are ways to set them on the vendetta path.
decimation: mircea_popescu: although in this particular case, the neighborhoods were saved
and they ended up full of broken families
anyway mircea_popescu:
anyway, my hope to have each
and every "social sciences" major of a us university hacking herself with a dildo for ten bux an hour is moving apace.
cazalla: mats, well, i included alleged but if the attacker managed to take their domain
and twitter account from them, it wouldn't surprise me if sec source name is true, i'm not claiming that
anyway, just reporting on what was said
mircea_popescu: except it's a meaningless ofence nobody prosecutes seriously, because it can get the jury to waste time / negotiate a conviction down,
and the punishments are minor
anyway.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, mod6 ben_vulpes : asciilifeform has a point, it'd be ideal if this can be wrapped up with a foundation blessed bitcoin core,
and one that has the bad seed model snipped out ideally.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, i suppose it comes as one of those "nobody could have predicted" things to these people that the entire pile of crap they've been amassing over the years can
and for that matter likely will simply be thrown out
and forgotten.
kakobrekla:
anyway, if you want a neater interface, add /json/ on end of url , decode
and voila
mircea_popescu: the theoretical theory was that "Bitcoin is all nerds
anyway"
and so any old junk should stick.,
Pierre_Rochard: gavinandresen: If I understand your argument correctly, you’re saying that the elasticity of demand is so great that fee maximization will be insufficient
anyway, so try finding another solution now. That’s a pretty good argument, I think we should see what happens to fee revenue growth to validate it. If, say, the average fee goes up to 0.0004 btc
and doesn’t budge from there, but anecdotally we hear that
davout: mircea_popescu: dunno, didn't do it myself, figured it'd be too good for them
and get downvoted
anyway punkman:
and assbot doesn't do bitcoin keys
anyway mircea_popescu: Luke-Jr
anyway, inasmuch as everyone actually wants bitcoin to prevail, divergence of opinion isn't much of a problem. however, the conservative rather than the progressive approach must be observed. change doesn't happen just for the sake of changing things. this isn't a fad or an ipad gizmo. if consensus can't be reached for whatever reason, whoever doesn't like it leaves
and starts over, rather than pretending the o
mircea_popescu:
anyway, the guy has a point ,
and that point is : the expectations of us citizens,
and their self valuations, are wildly divergent from reality.
decimation: "
Anyway let’s try to go back to first principles a little here. Read through the glowing, er, defense of inflation
and it boils down to the same basic story: ‘oh noes wages are sticky’."
mircea_popescu:
anyway, the difference might simply be explained by price. so, if a car costs 20-30k
and a supercar 200 to 300k, whereas a jet fighter 20 to 30 mn,
mircea_popescu: i can see the point
anyway. the wasps are a compliment to the grapes
and the flies to the dead donkey.
cazalla:
anyway, he came looking for me, not me him, just as easy to neg rate him
and move on with it
davout:
and notary would be connected through asswot's gossipd's node
anyway davout: greatly simplifies the problem, don't see too much downside to it,
and we're eventually moving to gossipd
anyway decimation: "So
anyway, long story short, we came to the conclusion that Upstart is conceptually wrong,
and it moved at glacial speeds. It also had the problem that Canonical tried very hard to stay in control of it. They made sure, with copyright assignment, that they made it really hard to contribute, but that’s what Linux actually lives off. You get these drive-by patches, as I would call them, where people see that something is broken, or
mircea_popescu:
anyway, the point is that gpg was widely used for the snowden leaks. this indicates that a major player trusted it,
and was right in so doing ;
and suggests a major target for that reason alone.
cazalla:
anyway.. shower time
and then to play host
and patriarch, bbl
kakobrekla:
anyway, the wot has been forked into assbot
and is running now
mircea_popescu:
anyway. guy can use whatever crypto routines he's comfortable with, on the general understanding that he's read them
and is actually comfortable with them
mircea_popescu: why's google, apple
and etc not pay a trillion ? it's just bezzlars
anyway.
mircea_popescu:
anyway. there IS going to be a transfer of power,
and all the bs "let's ban mp on twitter because he stands for priviledge
and against our impotent, nonsensical brand of socialism", "let's delete reddit articles because they humiliate our houseboys" etc won't do jack shit.
cazalla: the article wasn't based on no math.. it was based on what cex said on their blog
and their website
and i finished it by saying that despite these cloud miners being fucked, the network goes on with or without them
anyway mircea_popescu: midnightmagic: what is a shadowban? << graham came up with this brilliant "let's ban users but not tell them" on the theory that users are idiots
and won't notice
anyway.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, a point of strategy, which i think everyone'll appreciate cuz it's lulzy. so : the scam foundation
and its merry band of power rangers have very carefully constructed this situation where "nobody knows" what's what
and whence it came
and where it's going, because they (wrongly) perceived that ownership of an opaque codebase will guarantee them control
and continued relevance.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, he's welcome to participate in bitcoin just as soon as he completes his log reading stage
and persuades anyone his head's not full of straw.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, it may be that the entanglement experiments come to fruition,
and shortwave as well as the current telco version of internet become obsolete at the same time.
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:
anyway, i very much doubt nullc actually has any idea as to what's going on, apart from being in the room when it was explained
and now typing words on reddit.
and i doubt wuille actually did anything deliberately nefarious there.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, gold oxides
and suspensions are very moderately toxic
mircea_popescu: i suppose this is all moot since anything can read any file as data
and trhen execute it as code
anyway mircea_popescu: if there's multiples lying becomes that more difficult
and less valuable
anyway.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, the guy claims he was shremed
and it's all okay.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, i have no problem with dudes going "oh, blacks do all teh crime!!!" if that's what they believe,
and start running off stats about it. big whoop. but it's funny how nobody happens to fucking noticing the OTHER stats.
mircea_popescu: what atlantic really means is "why are there so few black scammers in bitcoin, because that's all we know about
anyway".
and the reason couldn't possibly be "because they're just more honest than whitey"
jurov: but if 99% of miners move to the fake chain, then it will take years till difficulty adjusts.. or we§d have to fork it
and adjust
anyway mircea_popescu: kakobrekla asciilifeform slow, but i see it.
anyway, eventually derp will run out of juice in an hour or whatever xmas money affords
and that's that.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, this is convenient because i didn't really feel like writing reports tonight,
and asciilifeform still's not sent me his mail, so
