asciilifeform: !up diametric
asciilifeform: now, whether even one of these (or ones not mentioned here) is fit for use in anger, on the battlefield - i cannot say.
asciilifeform: https://github.com/haskoin/haskoin
asciilifeform: (haven't tried, ...)
asciilifeform: there is even, apparently, a haskell version.
asciilifeform: haven't tried it either.
asciilifeform: there is also something that looked, on cursory inspection, quite like a bitcoind, in python
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i have not tested it
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there was another, iirc, in c
asciilifeform: lottery hitler probably has not the brain mass to doctor his archive, but why leave it to fate.
asciilifeform: incidentally, it would be very spiffy if someone here (specifically) has a vintage copy of either of these on his disk, from those days, and would be willing to sign it.
asciilifeform: https://github.com/trottier/original-bitcoin/tree/master/src << claims to be a copy

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for all i know, it's hitler.
asciilifeform: i once worked with a fellow who had a poster containing, in reasonably readable print, linux 0.01 kernel.
asciilifeform: ^ seems to have it
asciilifeform: http://www.bitcointrading.com/forum/bitcoin-clients/original-bitcoin-source-code-archives
asciilifeform distinctly recalls a tarball with that label
asciilifeform: not incl. the 0.1 source, unfortunately
asciilifeform: speaking of satoshi's paper, i learned by accident that someone sells a printed & bound 'collected satoshi crap'
asciilifeform is not a rich fellow, and was much poorer still when he read the satoshi paper
asciilifeform: but others, with enormous incomes (denominated in, e.g., usd) - hate.
asciilifeform: i would dare to suggest that plenty of folks who haven't anything to save, for instance, like the proper bitcoin quite a bit
asciilifeform: this seems more like a question of who folks imagine themselves as, rather than what they are
asciilifeform: 'they' 'want'
asciilifeform: decimation: wash., d.c. area specifically. swamp.
asciilifeform: pond <<< brekekekex koax koax.
asciilifeform: Luke-Jr: you're still thinking in terms of persuasion. we don't need to persuade the usg stooge of anything.
asciilifeform: see the code << they haven't a copy of 'tar' ?
asciilifeform: ^ also ruins swimming in certain spots
asciilifeform: !s candiru
asciilifeform: a real ripper of a time!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://www.exclassics.com/arist/ariintro.htm << familiar ?
asciilifeform: anyone who has read medical treatises from as little as two centuries ago, will see a place for gavin et al in that profession
asciilifeform: that other kind - that was (and some would say still is!) - medicine.
asciilifeform: for a small fee.
asciilifeform: neh, he'd travel from town to town and proclaim that he'll fell tree with the power of farts
asciilifeform: ^ example
asciilifeform: https://books.google.com/books?id=fdsDAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PP1&dq=popular%20mechanics%201958&pg=PA62#v=onepage&q=popular%20mechanics%201958&f=false
asciilifeform: buried in ten thousand 'get rich growing turtles / sorting pigs / ... / ... - guaranteed'
asciilifeform: 'improve your memory, guaranteed, with scientology therapy.' ('popular mechanics,' 1958. classified ad.)
asciilifeform: of every conceivable variety.
asciilifeform: i'm rather fond of old magazines. (mid 20th c. to late '70s, in particular.) the american ones are hilariously rich in sc4mz0r1ng
asciilifeform: actually,
asciilifeform: in BingoBoingo's words, the arse shapes the turd.
asciilifeform: like mr. spam!
asciilifeform: unless there is some unusually reliable record of the past concerning the object
asciilifeform: speaking of diamonds (specifically of the synthetic variety), one possible observation here - not concerning the idiocy of the wood thing as such - is that anyone demanding a specific 'colour' (as per the 'monolith' essay) - i.e. provenance - of object, is begging to be chumped ☟︎
asciilifeform: for sheer idiocy of the expected chump
asciilifeform: this was some kind of record, no ?
asciilifeform: or at least playing straight pyramids.
asciilifeform: but folks that stupid ought to be buying brooklyn bridge.
asciilifeform: lol, what happened to scams that were at least plausible.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: last i heard, not impaled yet
asciilifeform: the academic question of whether the abortus will die merciful death or live on as circus freak ?
asciilifeform: any reason to doubt that the usg exchanges and other scum are 'on board' (for what that's worth) ?
asciilifeform: soon we find out whether the button given to the usg shill is actually wired to anything ?
asciilifeform: http://code.google.com/p/plan9front/source/browse/rc/bin/feminize
asciilifeform: get married, grow taller!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that -is- cleaning.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: remember that ruin you showed me in Timis? asked 'what does it cost', and you said 'you can buy but city hall'll make you clean it'
asciilifeform: 'financial discipline' was the imf standard pill for all of eastern europe all through the 90s << it meant, simply, 'privatization' by usg shills.
asciilifeform: the traffic-obeying-impedence and other fluid dynamics laws has been known for ages.
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: in real life, the jams begin immediately after the road is widened. because impedence mismatch, elementary. nothing to do with the population around the road, on that timescale.
asciilifeform: bigger roads.. traffic worse << impedence mismatch. see also example, 'belady's anomaly', in computing/electronics
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yes, in america, the flat i moved out of last may
asciilifeform: when i lived in a flat with mice, rats, i dreamed of tiny shotguns
asciilifeform: iirc the romans grew these in jars, fattened, served up
asciilifeform: glis glis
asciilifeform: -dormouse-. hibernates, edible.
asciilifeform: imho that thread was merely an elaborate troll.
asciilifeform: a little bit of laser, yes. anyone who has so much as tried a laser cutter will recognize the result in the photo.
asciilifeform: would someone like to explain why the wood art fellow insists he does not use a laser? (he has photos of lathe, chisel, etc. but those are clearly necessary to forming the basic contours prior to lasering. so no surprise. but why does he deny the use of the laser?)
asciilifeform: btw, re: photos: typical laser cut. some even show signs of raster scan.
asciilifeform: two degrees of magnitude harder to find passible shooters << since when is cannon fodder in short supply?
asciilifeform skeptical
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lol! nope
asciilifeform: http://cluborlov.blogspot.com/2015/01/whiplash.html << mega-lol

asciilifeform: kakobrekla: woah. colour.
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: the only thing one can reliably get to where i live, without a motor, is 'convenience stores' which largely sell recycled food
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: srsly, how often does one see word 'handbag' outside of spam.
asciilifeform: cooking - yes
asciilifeform would have pet fetch food but it would require teaching pet to drive and issuing a vehicle
asciilifeform almost failed to read 'handbags' because it lodged in his skullcase's spam filter
asciilifeform: spambags ?
asciilifeform: why does a pet need money.
asciilifeform: what's it mean to have a pet on payroll even.
asciilifeform has not checked the proof, just saw this turd
asciilifeform: seems like it purports to show that - yes
asciilifeform: seems like the question re: the linked article is, can one have the card players compute an arbitrary function (without them knowing) by having them play out a certain position
asciilifeform: separately ?
asciilifeform: good car for fellow who doesn't drive.
asciilifeform: does that thing run on ordinary petrol?
