mircea_popescu: yet they wished infinte time not infiniute money.

mircea_popescu: but in the same way : philosopher's stone bestows wishes

mircea_popescu: this is correct

mircea_popescu: well which is it.

mircea_popescu: i just went through 5k lines today of how they don't.

mircea_popescu: both claimed, very similar almost identical things

mircea_popescu: decimation none did.

mircea_popescu: what is sailing ? and why has the same tech done different things for the dutch, the english, the spanish, and the latins ?

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform alchemy was not fundamentally the same thing for chinese and italians.

mircea_popescu: not all people react to same tech same way.

mircea_popescu: for a fundamentally broken people.

mircea_popescu: the reason the us has two parties may have more to do with the indolent stolidity of the usians minds than any rule of nature.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let me just point out that the theory of "unavoidable monopoly" has issues. for instance, cabs in buenos aires are still un=united.

mircea_popescu: fucking upside down alice in wonderland nonsense.

mircea_popescu: da fuckiung world we live in. viasat has been doing satellites forever. google is a newcomer in the field. spacex is a newcomer in general. yet the viasat ceo has to explain why he, the expert, is doing what he's doing. the newb schmucks aren't expected to explain themselves.

mircea_popescu: why, they're cute. everyone watches their "journals" like kitten pics.

mircea_popescu: "know about it" means something more from physics. "unobservable phenomena are spiritism not physics"

mircea_popescu: mutually assured anal pain, in the sense they get it.

mircea_popescu: if we don't know this is the case it's not the case.

mircea_popescu: if we know this is the case, the blocks change to briock their mining gear.

mircea_popescu: unpleasant as they are.

mircea_popescu: which is why hard forks gotta stay on the table

mircea_popescu: what about it ?

mircea_popescu: hardly.

mircea_popescu: yes.

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-06-2015#1175675 << you don't want the bitches talking back. for the obvious reason that if they can, they will, and next you're gonna have voting or some stupidshit like that. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: nevertheless, the actual behaviour works in nature. and has its own context. this lacks both those factors.

mircea_popescu: im unconvinced this is stotting. i don't dispute it could be called that, but then again anything could.

mircea_popescu: what, it keeps the muslims orderly in line to raping the spanish hos v 2.0 ?

mircea_popescu: what lion was discouraged from bilbao ?

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform thery all deliver the same results.

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-06-2015#1175664 << it is, and remains, the premiere systematic, actual problem of the protocol. somehow, this will have to be fixed. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: afaik the entire thing';s rubbishj, and if you're going to hire fortune tellers, always hire the cheapest.

mircea_popescu: i wish to be shown this "magic aesthetics".

mircea_popescu: or early, i guess.

mircea_popescu: if you ask him it was prolly late

mircea_popescu: pick it. which ?

mircea_popescu: hoover dam was overrun. big dig was... heh.

mircea_popescu: what's the project that was on time on budget and delivered ?

mircea_popescu: i dun think this yet happened.

mircea_popescu: http://glyf.org/tmp/bastard-delay.png << great graph thx.

mircea_popescu: dirty.

mircea_popescu: we want 1k+ launch events each day, and we want a total of 100 tons shipped upstairs a day.

mircea_popescu: that's the predicate.

mircea_popescu: but this is a mega project.

mircea_popescu: decimation dirtier.

mircea_popescu: but the rail gun is more substantial than most shit getting funded.

mircea_popescu isn't much into scams.

mircea_popescu: which is what makes for a decent engineering project.

mircea_popescu: sure.

mircea_popescu: basically the same hardware involved.

mircea_popescu: the rail gun is the necessary next step after the cern

mircea_popescu: so you would.

mircea_popescu: "discouraged atmosphere", soft vacuum

mircea_popescu: sure.

mircea_popescu: just think you're making a bridge

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what's reasonable sized ? could be a mile long for all it matters.

mircea_popescu: faster charge at any rate.

mircea_popescu: not free of course. but cheaper than steam

mircea_popescu: they do launch jets off carriers atm

mircea_popescu: i dun see why not.

mircea_popescu: you get 100x as many sats with 0.01x lifespan. 10kx !

mircea_popescu: both because drag and headcount.

mircea_popescu: this seems pretty often

mircea_popescu: anyway, nioce contract to have. basically, it's a "build this many launchers and fire them continuously forever"

mircea_popescu: otherwise this smacks of insanity.

mircea_popescu: just give them a little assymetry allow them some limited self-righting

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i would suspect they'd have a minimal sail or something

mircea_popescu: nice contract to have.

mircea_popescu: so this is basically a continual launch deal.

mircea_popescu: and your parade won't stay ordered

mircea_popescu: right.

mircea_popescu: ic.

mircea_popescu: basically, if you're gonna do leo telecoms it's either 1k or go home

mircea_popescu: aha

mircea_popescu: oh so it's actually needed for coverage

mircea_popescu: would seem to me.

mircea_popescu: decimation ok, sure. but all you need is one up. having to up helps maybe some. 200 ? marginal utility decays pretty fast

mircea_popescu: turkeys are "spendables" ?!

mircea_popescu: and then mom asked "in what currency" and i said "doesn't matter"

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-06-2015#1175593 << i was worth > 1 bil earlier this year i'll have you know! ☝︎

mircea_popescu: i don't get something. what does having more satellites help ? you still have the same problems of intsat whether there's ten or ten thousand.

mircea_popescu: if they stacked shit that high he could have a twin brother, go whiterafting with the bitcoin godfather pair.

mircea_popescu: you name it, he turned it to shit. shitranson.

mircea_popescu: "space tourism". shit.

mircea_popescu: airline. went to shit.

mircea_popescu: music label. went to shit.

mircea_popescu: decimation isn't he the original "how to make a small fortune ? start with a big one" ?

mircea_popescu: after which...

mircea_popescu: sure, for as long as it can be used it can be used

mircea_popescu: this "without installing a database management system or requiring a database administrator." reads to me like "car that can be used without breaks"

mircea_popescu: also, branson specialises in being scammed.

mircea_popescu: i thought stamp collectors all use mysql

mircea_popescu: what was sqlite meant for ?

mircea_popescu: just reload punkman

mircea_popescu: /you are not expected to understand this

mircea_popescu: so i hear.

mircea_popescu waves in the general direction of the ethers

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform maybe wot is the pill to no longer be angry.

mircea_popescu: mats same could be said re btc.
