mircea_popescu: incidentally, asciilifeform & all : is b-a pgp going to use vsh for hashing ?
mircea_popescu: mp does fetlife, weev does aff. i guess i lose out huh.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck knows what exactly multiplying the exponent by a factor in the key does.
mircea_popescu: tandem arrangements can to some degree help, but it gets rapidly iffy (tandem arrangements of radiation detectors are fundamentally looking at the same event, at least some of the time - not so with electronic noise like cardano measures, where tandem detectors are actually looking at distinct events)
mircea_popescu: it's not only that it wears off quickly, it wears off as a function of... HOW MUCH IT DETECTED
mircea_popescu has been skipping the web exchanges header for... months, now.
mircea_popescu: Adlai it's actually in my reports, too. the part i hadn't read thereof.
mircea_popescu: Adlai isn't buttfinex the one of the web exchanges with the largest random number published under "volume" ?
mircea_popescu: this is like "decentralization doesn't work becasue we all used the same copy of decentralized software and got ownered"
mircea_popescu: no dude. capitalism is not involved. stop being a herd of idiots wtf.
mircea_popescu: then "everyone" (of the idiots) is simply copying their "price" and then the world derps abouit how "capitalism creates economic cycles"
mircea_popescu: b-a is trying to keep one guy drunk at all times, a sort of olympic... flame.
mircea_popescu: jurov better hurry up with that wine, bingo's asleep and cazalla not up yet.
mircea_popescu: so what, doesn't make dom available until the missing linked images timeout ?
mircea_popescu: no fucking way am i adding 50 lines of code to deal with chrome's speshul.
mircea_popescu: hiring interview "mr X we will need you to debug all the browsers." "that's fine, but i will need all the moneys" "we only have a fraction of the moneys" "then i can debug a fraction of the browsers" "well... that isn't useful is it now."
mircea_popescu: but i can't be sending people on this snipe expedition because i am a poorfag.
mircea_popescu: if any of you ever getting unexpected behaviour feel for some unknown reason a compulsion to debug the whys and wherefores, i would certainly listen
mircea_popescu: he did seem of the "i feel like hacking on this so fu" persuasion.
mircea_popescu: the notion that one'll make money from "licenses" in the future... heh. not such a great plan.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes in particular it's unclear to me how wise the "licenses" angle is for a serenissima derivative. while i declined to anull IP when diametric asked earlier, i am very very far from any sort of belief that the current model of that stack of stupidity has any sort of hope for survival.
mircea_popescu: especially seeing how plenty of the conjectures that are still open problems are around a century old.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell asciilifeform here's a thought : we had 15 broken keys when phuctor had seen 159k keys ; and we have 19 now, it's just a shade under 200k. curious if the 1 in 10k thing keeps throughout the 4mn
mircea_popescu: and back then it was all "nowai it rocks!111 time will show!!1"
mircea_popescu: now that they buried the world under their xml crapolade, they can just go away. nobody's going to go "hey, the shit sucked!111" NOW.
mircea_popescu: and at some point not so long ago this was supposedly a big fucking deal.
mircea_popescu: which is exactly the full blown version of my original doubts.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel that is a game for much older and richer folk than you, to create a new world.
mircea_popescu: the spanish invented the new world mostly to make the dutch (and their later english colony) richer for it. etc.
mircea_popescu: the first railroad company didn't make money, tho railroad was a money maker eventually.
mircea_popescu: not saying that money can't be made out of america, obviously.
mircea_popescu: among other things, i am saying that people only move to america if it's free. if it's not free they stay home.
mircea_popescu: but if your thing needs classes you conceivably failed by your own criteria.
mircea_popescu: yes, they buy classes, and no hyperchem lite is not Chemistry.
mircea_popescu: this would be in the category of ipad jackpot simulators i guess.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo ironically, if it's any good it does lack it. if it actually sells then it has it, which is what windows is, basically.
mircea_popescu: if th efield had needed such a thing, it wouldn't exist at all.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i don't believe that's the only approach, nor did i think it actually was yours, before encountering that line.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel i was replying to " you wouldn't shell over $100 for it?" strictly.
mircea_popescu: the idea here being that people wouldn't pay for a sane os for the same reason they won't payfor the sun.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: mkay. lemme explain something about markets to you. the sun is infinitely valuable, to the exclusion of all else. nobody (tm) would consider paying for it, and in no case would they pay anything close to fair value (why this is so should be thermodynamically obvious). meanwhile, ipads have no utility and go for hundreds by the million. on top of them, jackpot machine simulations sell for more $$$.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel portage already exists. not only would i not pay for it, i'd pay to have whoever packages gentoo atm whipped.
