Dekker3D: There's just
a lot of suspicious "delays". I'd rather have something where everyone has equal access, gpus
thestringpuller: Bitcoin ASIC's are getting close to CPU size...(in terms of shoving transistors onto
a thing)
Dekker3D: But that's just
a guess. I've never mined any SHA coins, wouldn't know if ASICs are worth the mess.
thestringpuller: you can pay off
a miner in about 140 days (given consistent difficulty increases and no extra capital investment)...
Dekker3D: Heh.. he/she has
a point. I'm barely ever bored, I just spend that time reading up
thestringpuller: if you're bored you should be using that time to develop
a new skill or relax for when times get busy...
Dekker3D: I've never been very interested in starting my own religion, but Dekkerianism does have
a certain ring to it
indiancandy1: if you start your own religion and get
a certain amount of followers
Dekker3D: Well, that depends on how smart you figure them to be. There's
a lot of smart and dumb folks who ended up with
a lot of money.
Dekker3D: I mean, I consider myself to be more of an english-speaker than
a dutch-speaker, despite growing up in the netherlands
mircea_popescu: nah, people who speak english as
a second language actually are in the better position i imagine.
Dekker3D: I forgot that
a lot of english-speakers are in the US. Durp.
mircea_popescu: and that the us guy has
a government giving him money, which won't survive.
mircea_popescu: that the poor indian has the skills to survive as
a poor indian, which the us guy does not
mircea_popescu: there's little difference between
a poor indian and
a middle class us citizen today, except
Dekker3D: People always say things threaten to destroy us all. And yeah, it's
a favoured tool of anyone trying to convince the masses.
Dekker3D: So we're going to have to find
a way to live with it, I'd guess.
Dekker3D: True, but automation is not
a thing we can really push back
Dekker3D: Ah. You're saying that those who aren't smart enough to be irreplacable would always find themselves left out, in
a world where automation runs rampant?
Dekker3D: "creating jobs" seems like the wrong goal anyway. More and more jobs are being replaced by robots. We should be focusing on
a society that can handle mass automation
mircea_popescu: test532451243214 even more useless if those "scientists" are people being paid
a salary by
a government, as an idle exercise in trying to create jerbs.
test532451243214: I mean.. two rocket scientists could agree that homosexuality is or isn't
a choice.
mircea_popescu: definitely works
a lot better to explain prison homosexuality, unless prison buildings ALSO secrete hormones.
mircea_popescu: here's
a simple solution : in any large population of males, some will be gay because the other want something to fuck.
mircea_popescu: chetty get
a load of this : female body perceives male foetus as foreign, and generates unspecified "antibodies". the more boys
a woman has, the more adept she is at this
chetty: but consensus is
a new law in science, hadnt you heard?
Dekker3D: Well, if it were
a choice.. why wouldn't everyone choose to be bisexual? More options!
mircea_popescu: no, it's just pervasive cultural norm. behaviours spread from trusted sources, and
a twin has better thances than
a guy on youtube to persuade.
mircea_popescu: except... being left handed is not
a behaviour. homosexuality is.
Dekker3D: "christian" thinks homosexuality is
a choice. Yep. This is starting perfectly.
Dekker3D: Interesting pink streak in your hair, though it combined with the sharply-outlined wide eyes makes you look
a bit like
a Barbie doll :P
mircea_popescu: ahahahaah kakobrekla you will end up having
a kind of humour named tits in your honor.
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> they're all
a bit touched << you should see the football people lol
mircea_popescu: "My wife had
a pair of loafers made. Hers were simple, although totally custom, made to order. They cost under 1000 pesos, and took about
a week. Mens shoes will be more, depending on size and style and leather." beat that davout.

nubbins`: tbh i can't imagine
a hockey fan letting anyone get in the way of
a game
Namworld: I use localbitcoins. Because it is correctly implemented for such transactions. You prefund your transaction such that BTC is already there. The buyer has
a secret code to keep to himself. Once you have the money, you can text/release funds from web at which point you receive the buyer's secret code, which you can show him as confirmation that the funds were released.
punkman: "Belén Marty is
a journalist and freedom fighter based in Buenos Aires, Argentina." lol
Namworld: To an extent that I made
a few mistakes along the way, still turned out okay.
Namworld: Well in Canada and most western countries anyway, it's not too much. Just
a minor setback.
Namworld: I knew I shouldn't have invested more than I could afford to lose. That's why I put my savings and took
a small loan to buy 900 BTC for 7000 USD back then. It was all I got, but Bitcoin looked great and I didn't mind losing it all and knew I could actually afford it. Being young, it wasn't the end of the world if I lost it. Not like I couldn't earn it back quickly.
moiety: i put the other one on
a new trilema acct, that do?
moiety: i have to go out for
a wee while, see yous later :] have
a nice night!
mod6: im not running
a node that's listed up there, but my local wallet is up.
mod6: <+dignork> re: ATC, somebody has
a live node? dns boostrap doesn't work << I'm asking about this in #altcoin
Dekker3D: And it'll open
a chat window directly to nickserv.
Dekker3D: Yeah, refreshing probably didn't give that instance
a proper chance to log out. So it's still claimed.
thestringpuller: nanotube: is there
a way to directly query for web of trust data and have it returned in some kinda serial format?
mircea_popescu: But in the argument she finally said it, how I was like
a little kid and not
a "real man" whatever that means,
benkay: scuse me i have
a handmade bloody mary to drink.
benkay:
a fighter jet that doesn't, supersoldier speshul fx...
dignork: re: ATC, somebody has
a live node? dns boostrap doesn't work
thestringpuller: Hmm. I wonder if you could use bitbet as
a predictor for scams...
Dekker3D: mircea_popescu, chetty told me about Eulora and I'm in that channel now, with
a few questions they say you could answer.
mircea_popescu: im just being snarky. it's
a failed attempt at
a sig verify
mircea_popescu: it's like watching an urbana women studies postdoc battle it out with
a 65 year old ex-boxer champ
Dekker3D: I just haven't ever had
a C++ project where my main goal was to get rid of the bugs rather than add some new feature or even get it running in the first place
Dekker3D: And this seems quite
a bit beyond my "well.. it compiles and does something" level of programming so far.
Dekker3D:
A package maintainer, mircea_popescu ?
mircea_popescu: Dekker3D you know there's
a a job waiting for c++ / windoze ppl ?
mircea_popescu: just you know, put up
a page, with 20 questions or so. have people verify
a string in here to allow their results.
mircea_popescu: artifexd one day we shall have to make
a wot backed tech map
Dekker3D: Anyway, I studied the Bitcoin code
a bit to see how the bloom filter is implemented.
Dekker3D: It's interpreted and weakly typed, afaik. You can even add stuff to classes on the fly. That allows
a lack of structure
Dekker3D: you can't visually tell the difference between spaces and tabs, in sufficient amounts, and it complains if you use tabs in
a piece of code that uses spaces elsewhere. For obvious reasons, but some people use tabs and some use spaces.
Dekker3D: I've been doing
a tiny bit of Python lately, though I absolutely loathe everything about it.
chetty: ok its just
a idiomatic saying, basically I was saying that you had been tricked into believing you were useless
mircea_popescu: she's curious like any kid. so she... actually let me get it, i have
a reference.
