BingoBoingo also waiting
till 2 BTC worth of
truck is closer
to 0.5 BTC worth of
truck.
BingoBoingo gotta get
the Elliot
taint out of
the head so can actually sleep again at some point.

this shit
to carry water?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes in
this case
the guy became "famous" because witticism. which is how it
tends
to work in
that backwater.
mircea_popescu: somehow
they look down on women doing
the same,
trying
to achieve "fame"
to charge more per lap dance.

to periodically force everyone
to reveal
their balance as a solution for
the hidden inflation problem." << ahaha i mean fuck what's
the point
BingoBoingo: And now ~5.3% of my personal blog is Elliot fanfic by
title count. Poor neglected blog.
BingoBoingo will prolly write a completely different Elliot fanfic after Nov 1st because surprisingly fun once
the plot gets rolling.
BingoBoingo: Thus concludes my entry into
the Elliot fanfic contest. Your move adlai!
☟︎ ben_vulpes: "guy we swear is
this other guy who nominally but not provably does a
thing also came up with a 'cryptocurrency'
that doesn't have hard guarantees on monetary base numbers'

the circus, 'This is not a “normal launch” like any other altcoin, because ZCash required a so called “trusted setup”. During
this setup, some secret (public) parameters were generated based on a “master private key”.
These network parameters are needed
to create
the so called “zero-knowledge proofs”, which is
the anonymizing mixer on
the ZCash network.
The “master private k
ben_vulpes: not my fault nobody gets
the letterkenny jokes
mircea_popescu: morelike with
the logic
that
they by and large couldn't hire people above 98 iq even with
the bonuses.
mircea_popescu: "ship
to irak
tomorrow, and if
they don't blow you up we'll give you 20k". wait 10 years after which "oh btw, only kidding about
those 20k. whatcha gonna do about it bitch, NOT GO
TO IRAK NO MOAR ? AHAHAHAHA"
mircea_popescu: o look, also wants
to double
the americorps payola. weren't
they
taking it back from suckers 10 years later recently ?
mircea_popescu: and also pushing
the "college can charge whatever it wants - but it will never get more
than 10% of
the student's future pay, so whatevs" is pretty much
the only way out of
the mess.
mircea_popescu: of course,
there's some sense in all of
that. eg, why exactly is college debt not refinanceable ?
mircea_popescu: they have ap oint
though :
this debt holds "all of us" back - if college numbers were released from
this peg in reality
the gdp could go as high as 500%
the first month.
mircea_popescu: anyway, an elector rewrite of
the election would be pretty much
the lulziest outcome possible.
mircea_popescu: also
that was like
the largest such effect in 120 or os years
mircea_popescu: it's possible
to win
the popular vote by a slight margin and still lose
the election, but
that's all.
BingoBoingo: There's a sort of asymtote
that roughly approximates one.
The geometry of lulz is not euclidean.
phf: i actually picked up a 1964 pulp print of pkd's
the simulacra with his illustration at a
tiny "mystery books" bookstore in philadelphia,
that since got closed

that pic on a '90s sf cover, when
they were being printed on
that yellow
toilet paper
thing)

mircea_popescu: just in case phf
trinque shinohai & crew ever
think
they got
to
the last
test case or something.

there anything
to
this "nightshade allergy"?
a111: Logged on 2016-10-29 19:24 mircea_popescu: just going by it generally. esltards pretend whiskey
to be an actual drink (it utterly is not, fruit alcohol is
the only stuff worth drinking), and if we grant
that faulty premise
then 40 bucks for a quart of flawless whiskey compares favourably with a middle of
the road cognac going more in
the 100-200 range.
jhvh1: shinohai:
The operation succeeded.
