mircea_popescu: so she removes her top (was a knotted square thing) and puts it on her head.
mircea_popescu: this reminds me of scene where chick is told that she has to cover her head in church
mircea_popescu: williamdunne "inheritence" that takes an a, and moreover, the entire "transfer reputation" thing is muddied at best.
mircea_popescu: you don't really look like you have any business in a casino...
mircea_popescu: !v assbot:mircea_popescu.rate.jayk.1:486e17533db78ce8c35a9aed04ec6c2e015f4f145af1c95a3188b499c90d6515
mircea_popescu: i'm really the best customer anyone could ever have. i tip, there's hot chicks, the works.
mircea_popescu: the last time an idiot "asked me to leave" i had the place torched.
mircea_popescu: "Be suspicious of pedestrians when you pull up to a house. Don't open your car door if people are nearby."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "* Beware of teenagers grouped in twos wearing hooded sweatshirts. Most criminals fit that description"
mircea_popescu: williamdunne "The cost of enforcement of contracts grows over time as an increasing number of loopholes are found - as described in an article by Mircea Popescu" you know you could ~link it~ o.O
☟︎ mircea_popescu: proof of pizza, for fucks sake. all the money in pizza delivery is the god damned tips. nobody will ever deliver pizza to the sort of idiots who bicker about times randomly. if this is how it went, why not have "proof of latte" to make sure the barrista really did give you the latte.
mircea_popescu: just because particular memes are well suited to the mental vulnerabilities of the early mind and so are noteworthy to educators and psychiatrists does not mean they're also noteworthy to engineers.
mircea_popescu: other things sharing the same properties, "the free lunch", "democracy", "you can do anything" etc.
mircea_popescu: "It, together with smart contracts, has been let out of Pandora’s Box – never to return, never to be unlearned, no matter how badly some of us might want it to."
mircea_popescu: jayk you mean renting hash power ? that was never a good deal.
mircea_popescu: so described, it is rather clear that bitcoin can not in fact exist : immutability and entropy are mutually contradictory.
mircea_popescu: because that is the property here : same as entropy, bitcoin lacks the ability to review earlier states on the base of later states.
mircea_popescu: maybe the best description would be "immutable, fungible and entropic"
mircea_popescu: i would suspect maybe trustless is a misnomer. trust is not involved at all, the point is coherence. the system remains coherent, which is to say it does not fork into ambiguous states.
mircea_popescu: williamdunne so in retrospect : "immutable, fungible, non-discriminatory, and trustless" is really redundant. fungible includes "non-discriminatory".
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i am probably the record holder for most footnotes in an article out of the entire interwebs

mircea_popescu: trinque re the dos point of sale, best breakfast p[lace here had one, made like 1985 or some shit
mircea_popescu: i am merely pointing out that the perl-bashing has some serious problems in front of it.
mircea_popescu: trinque nah, it's not energetically efficient. try and power the jet off the bird's diet.
mircea_popescu: could be punishment for the usg twerps. "you now have to program on this"
mircea_popescu: trinque consider the ridiculous happenstance that all foeti have a god damned lizard tail two weeks in.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i wasn't going nearly as far as any of that.
mircea_popescu: trinque the main problem here is that for a large number of solid considerations, lisp would actually be a much better choice. moreover, the space alf referred to is indeed vast, but the processes narrow. in many spots the whole tree converges to a very very narrow bottleneck.
mircea_popescu: trinque except the product of reproduction is perhaps the most expensive thing there is
mircea_popescu: (because cunts obviously aren't free to choose what they use, so the need for perl must be way deeper than that)
