BingoBoingo: And for installation with > 1 year life expectance vermiculite has better mineral content
that integrates into you new "soil" structure
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: coir is fail hippy dippy shit
that
they only push because "renewable"
ben_vulpes: if i have
time and energy, i'll be experimenting with
the pickled food waste compost + charcoal in a different corner of
the yard, in planters
to mitigate externalities
BingoBoingo: for ben_vulpes inevitable curiosity used 4 cu ft. med
texture vermicultie, 3 cu ft. peat moss, 300 lbs (~6.7 cu ft.) composted cow manure, and assorted bags of clearance potting soil
that apparently did not sell last year (~ 6 cu ft, mostly Dr "earth" brand)
BingoBoingo deliciously dirty
today after filling raised beds
jhvh1: shinohai:
The operation succeeded.
ben_vulpes: i heard parts of
the bezosnet went out
mircea_popescu: who can
take "feminist intellectuals" seriously, i wish
to know ?
mircea_popescu: holy shit,
the imbecile lists FUCKING NAPOLEON among "truth, beauty and seriousness" ?
the dude with
the white dickpants ?
THE CAMPIEST CHARACTER OF ALL HISTORY ?!
BingoBoingo: In
the city I hear
the convert it
to
the freebase and smoke it
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I
though
the appeal of programming work was a porsche in
the driveway for one's blue haired silicon valley
transpig
shinohai: BingoBoingo: I'm
trying but I get 90% "Bigger"
tit blocks
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu>
trb-tits << I
thought
that was shinohai's fork
mircea_popescu: in other lulz,
the great
tuscan salami scandal has 992 views on dumbtube.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: In my mind
trb-i is discussion piece. Ideal may be impossible.
trb-i may end up being way
to consider idea for
trb-b which suceeds
trb-a (a is for arse)
BingoBoingo: Oh
the
Trump flensing knife lulz come out
tonight, while still digesting
trb-i
theory. What a
time
to be live!
mircea_popescu: if at position n-1
two possible candidate blocks could be n,
then in order
to extend n1 you will have
to consider
the blockchain as consistying of n1, and in order
to extend n2 you will have
to consider
the blockchain as consisting of n2.
mircea_popescu: ie,
this is an entirely mental problem, manufactured out of
thin air. dun exist in
the actual
thing.
mircea_popescu: whether your opinion changes as
to which exact blocks is not germane.
to mine on chain a you use n and
to mine on chain a' you use n'.
mircea_popescu: at all points
the blockchain is a linear string of blocks
though.
mircea_popescu: if anyone has issues resolving which string of bits is block n,
that someone is invited
to fix his hear, his node or both.
mircea_popescu: i'm not in
the business of
telling clerks how
to run
their office. it is clear what
the blockchain is, no further explanation is needed.
mircea_popescu: whatever it retains outside
the blockchain aren't blocks.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
there's a single block for each height, what are you
talking about.
ben_vulpes: i attended one sometime in
the last five years, and it'd been sadly neutered and
taken over by
the mayos
ben_vulpes: trinque: in portland, when i was a wee one,
they were a deliberately not-as-raunchy-as-they-could-be bdsm-lite-junior-queers-and-thespians social club
jhvh1: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
trinque cannot find
the log line from mircea_popescu re: developing economy and deficit spending, but mr bannon apparently heard him
trinque: nothing particularly mind-blowing about bannon's apparrent strategy either. "we can never pay back
the imaginary fiat-denominated debt" so we'd better juice
the fuck out of what military we have while
there's
time.
trinque: I watched a
talk he gave in 2016 sometime, subtext sounded like "real change comes on
the other side of a currency crisis"
mircea_popescu: whatever, dude's going
to go right back
to a "losing streak" which is seeing cuts
to libertard state ~=
to
the entire education budget.
mircea_popescu: five weeks of half-assed not-really-trying "irony" and back
to denial ?
mircea_popescu: really,
they went straight back
to
the october pipe,
that's all
they got ? i
thought it was going
to be protests and revolutions and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: trinque i don't
think i ever went
to a cinema with a girl
that wouldn't
take stuff off. not past
the age of 13 in any case, or as an independent agent, or however you put it.
trinque: asciilifeform: good day
to you sir!
a111: Logged on 2017-02-28 11:30 mircea_popescu: wtf "nothing sexual happens". in a fucking
theatre ?
that's insanity.
mircea_popescu: all
those fistbumped janitors etcetera, why
the fuck else were
they
there ?

they said
that I didn't show any signs of an upward career
trajectory. I pointed out
that I was publishing a book with O'Reilly, speaking at major
tech conferences, and doing all of
the
things
that you're supposed
to do
to have an "upward career
trajectory", but
they said it didn't matter and I needed
to prove myself as an engineer.
mircea_popescu: and before anyone attempots
the historical gambit, "but mp,
that's not what it is, but it's what
they
thought in 1960", gimme a break.
that's what INEPT AND LAZY BUT AMBITIOUS GIRLIES
thought. much like poor people
think "rich people can;'t be happy", as a cheap and useless psychological defense.
mircea_popescu: in fact
the entire substance, such as it is, of "i fucking love science" contemporary idiocy is exactly
that, "omaigerd nature is stylish!"
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the notion
that nature isn't stylish can only come out of somebody who has put absolutely no work whatsoever into studying nature. half an hour in
the microbiology lab should permanently disabuse one of
the notion.
shinohai: I got a day of ISS because I said she was in
the wrong camp.
mircea_popescu: "bitch, essay does not mean making baseless enunciations in
the
thick hand of a fucking peasant."
mircea_popescu: "11. Camp is
the
triumph of
the epicene style. (The convertibility of "man" and "woman," "person" and "thing.") But all style,
that is, artifice, is, ultimately, epicene. Life is not stylish. Neither is nature."
shinohai: I had
to read
that horror in Hugh School.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, one of
the supposedly intellectual libertard dorks.
mircea_popescu: not
the worst of situations,
though it does fuck over a lot of
typically cryptocoin usecases.

tell mircea_popescu
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-27#1608577 << here's one crackpot method: implement 'gravitation'. analogously
to physical one. i.e. an agglomeration of coin is worth ~more~
than selfsame coin in fragged form. quantifiably, in some straightforward way.
