mircea_popescu: ascii_field is emerging like quite the tragic, byronian hero. on one hand, wishes to drive the dozer, on the other hand, wishes to have a place for noli tangere.
mircea_popescu: always a pleasure to see people able to refer to the right source material.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell pete_dushenski the hunag fellow is exactly the right example. i even hinted at him but never mentionmed the name when discussiong o'brian idiocy in 1984 and how the rebellion properly works.
mircea_popescu: i recall family friend being very insulted by my dad laughing his ass off
mircea_popescu: (for fun and games the trainee qm folk in attendance are invited to set up either the matrix or the waveform so that probability of solid losing atoms into gas at border is zero, see what happens)
mircea_popescu: no such thing as infinitely bound material yet discovered
mircea_popescu: theoretically should vacuum the other room to soem degree
mircea_popescu: ascii_field vacuums not my forte, but is the following ever done : have a solid cylinder separated into two closed rooms by piston. fill one room with chemical compounds in liquid pahse which react, so the resultant volume is lower.
mircea_popescu: no but srsly, who wouldn't want retarded children looking like him.
mircea_popescu: anyway. i'll allow the shitmedia to set the discussion agenda the morning after i let gavin impregnate my wife.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field it reads to me like a very plain "let's try and hijack b-a by pretending a bigger ba exists somewhere exotic and we are the only ones able to translate its red star stamps"
mircea_popescu: who ever heard of this, change the rules of the sport so people following at home can be more comfortable.
mircea_popescu: the world does not belong to people "doing it ironically"
mircea_popescu: fucking ridiculous. "oh, we will get a bitcoin license to keep our hobby alive!11"
mircea_popescu: from the log, "I think we will close this thread as there is nothing more to discuss. This is not about democracy or censorship, but about keeping our hobby alive without authorities enforcing new laws in order to limit ADS-B usage."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i remember a day, not so many years ago, when people actually went on trips to check out claims of "hey i goit some images in photoshop" miners. how much things have changed in these few short years...
mircea_popescu: iirc according to financial times, they took over cyprus right ?
mircea_popescu sits here and wonders if neobee, king of cypruss, agrees for cypruss to join the increase movement.
mircea_popescu: unlike apparently everyone on the retard side, i actually have some business experience
mircea_popescu: ascii_field yes i know what those are, i pay five to six figures to china each month k ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but 500 failures in... hey, wasn't ethereum all over everything ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, the validity of the stamps would be trivial to verify, if of course anyone still gave a shit about the nonsense scampress publishes.
mircea_popescu: you'd be in a better position to grasp the depth of this chasm of a dilemma
mircea_popescu: ascii_field if you had more experience chasing gaw/bfl/assorted mining scams
mircea_popescu: how do you know it's software if you don't reboot it ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field "the bitcoin miners of china" say that they never saw software that doesn't crash
mircea_popescu: in other news a display campaign for eulora started today, if any people called Eulorian show up treat 'em mildly. and if no such show up, well... it just goes to show the value of advertising.
mircea_popescu: about the same as between the calcutta beggar and the pufferfish
mircea_popescu: there's a lot of difference between the mild idiocy of hearst and the down syndrome of "ft alphaville" etc
mircea_popescu: by now they're reporting nonsense out of a whjolly imagined pseudoreality
mircea_popescu: can these gawker-clones be any more fucking retarded already ?>
mircea_popescu: never have to wonder either because you know or it can't happen, but never have to wonder.
mircea_popescu: the notion that you are anything different from the calcutta beggar may be contemplatef IF and ONLY IF you never have to wonder what'd you do in calcutta.
mircea_popescu: and you don't "compute the dollar equivalent value" of non-dollar things, because you're not trying to recreate the bezzle.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field seinfeld has an episode about this fundamentally female method of authentication ("i always wanted for him to drag me by the hair in this alley and stretch my anus"). elaine explains that "Cause if we're dating, what everyone saw was just a beautiful moment between two lovers"
mircea_popescu: god help you if you start factchecking anything he says. very yarvinesque habit this
mircea_popescu: i vaguely recall this, like i vaguely recall his being the sort that's "correct in the broad strokes but entirely out of small change" as the expression goes.
mircea_popescu: iirc baseline is a dollar a day, so... there's his lifetime income
mircea_popescu: tho... didn't he just beg a few k's recently to buy himself a new mayo dildo or something ?
mircea_popescu: yes they understood that you can send communication over wires or over waves. but they did not understand what they were doing was "sending communication" in these terms, or in short they were speaking in prose but unaware of what prose is.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: now we understand that retrospectively, the chord in phones is not a requirement but an anachronism, and we expect everything be available as wired or wireless at our option. but the wired/wireless dichotomy was not even meaningful to bell, or marconi.
mircea_popescu: and consequently this whole story is moot other than for the similarity with the past. it took the magical box allowing you to talk to people over the ethers a few decades to arrive starting in the 70s, or a few millenia to arrive starting pre caesar. in the interval, cellphones were mostly magic rings.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: yes, that so far is right. the thing it fails to account for is that roads create traffic, not the other way around. it's not need that creates advance, as the idiots writing schoolbooks claim. the other way around.

☝︎ mircea_popescu: (and similarly prop delays are an empirical phenomenon, cheaper to measure than to make a new chip)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i am not for a moment arguing against the closed turdness approach ddram is wrapped in
