Neil: If

mircea_popescu: so
i take it slovak policemen go around in pairs because one can read, one can write, too, right ?
jurov:
i'm pregnant, we'll have 5th child
jurov: honey,
i have a good message
jurov: well, slovak (and
i think other) policemen have similar problem, too
mircea_popescu: "We don't trust anything anymore. Not even the banking institutions," Partcha said. "
I had saved in dollars, and when the banks froze deposits in 2001,
I got pesos back and lost my money."
mircea_popescu: but don't worry,
i'll tell it again so it becomes funny.
KRS1:
I personally did not find it useful. There were not pictures of clowns or anything colorful on that pr.
Diablo-D3: and
I will have you arrested for attempted murder and you will spend your days in prison
BingoBoingo: Diablo-D3: Just remember
I am not Paleo, and
I will hunt you down and cover you with flower.
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids:
I said nothing about your mystery code.
I called your language garbage though
herbijudlestoids: the thing is
i know, because
i used to do all my analysis in python and found R to be much quicker
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids:
I mean if you want letter perfect code Common LISP is the language, but in the garbage you pasted
I can't say if you are protecting from garbage overloads or some shit.
herbijudlestoids: thats a simple example BingoBoingo, how do
i do line #10 in python like
i do it in R?
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids:
I don't speak R to the computer for the same reason
I don't speak Attic Greek in conversation
herbijudlestoids: BingoBoingo: you might,
i dunno,
i just thought you migh tlike to see it,
i pulled the data from #bitcoin-assets-trades and processed in R :)
herbijudlestoids:
i can do in R in about 5 lines what takes ~100 lines in python
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: How do yoy know
I don't have better deets
BingoBoingo: Before the end of February
I imagine my site is going to requite a niggers.txt file
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids:
I am trying to get some play sports book to let a freiend who hasn't cared for long enough's funds
decimation: Interesting.
I must log now, but
I will read through this in the future.
herbijudlestoids: FOFOA argument is that bitcoin versus USD is a non competition, real competition is BTC versus "what comes next"
i.e. EUR+Gold
herbijudlestoids: right now, USD plays the role of reserve asset (
i.e. store of value), medium of exchange and unit of account globally and especially in the case of marginal producers
herbijudlestoids: full disclosure
i converse with FOFOA occassionally and some market info and thoughts
i have passed onto him have been included in some of his work.
i claim no particular insight just provided otherwise proprietary market information
herbijudlestoids:
i do not compare gold (or btc) to stocks when evaluating its job as a store of value
herbijudlestoids: yes, thats why
i brought up FOFOA, because a few of the things mircea mentioned were very similar to things FOFOA has said about the concept of freegold
decimation: Perhaps
I am deluded, but
I thought it clarifed matters w.r.t. currency adoption
decimation: heh yeah. sorry
I couldn't find a better reference.
Duffer1:
i can't imagine how they'd solve that issue
mircea_popescu:
i have more like a 6 months span on stuff that far on the periphery
mircea_popescu: a, no. it's just more recent than
i've been paying attention.
herbijudlestoids:
i thought there was some flaw discovered in namecoin that killed adoption
herbijudlestoids: personally
i prefer implementations like the GNUnet Name System (GNS)
herbijudlestoids:
i was a user back when it was just iip over irc so
i guess iv got a softspot for it
herbijudlestoids: let me explain:
i used to conduct various communications using GPG over email. now
i use a combination of tails, i2p and pidgin+OTR or i2pmessenger+OTR
herbijudlestoids:
i think
i have not signed or encrypted anything with a GPG key in years
herbijudlestoids: whats the point of being on the WoT? dont
i need to transact to get rating?
i dont plan on transacting :P
mircea_popescu: well... at least
i presume vexual drinks. tho it could be any number of things :D
Duffer1:
i suspect at least one of his buttcoins is actually him...
herbijudlestoids:
i do not know them specifically except in their capacity as people
i also briefly spoke to on this chan :P vex at least lives in same country and likes similar music
herbijudlestoids: but nobody will rate me, so
i cant rate bingoboingo as a 10 based on his sexual attractiveness
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> in fact, now that
i think of it, btc is the missing puzzle piece in the ancient problem of bootstrapping a global radio mesh. << /me grins
herbijudlestoids: asciilifeform:
i agree with the idea of building the infrastructure so that it doesnt necessarily need the internet
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the one critique
i have to this is that should it be invented afore, it'll then necessarily be known afore. this is perhaps unideal. bitcoin was invented before or after ? does it work because it was invented after ? would it have, were it invented before ?
herbijudlestoids: this sentence "Right that, right there, even if she spent the entire interval nude, made soap out of her own sebum and ate food stampsvi you would not be able to cover cost." ...
i feel like....
i love this sentence
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids you found your way to where
i used that same sharpie to rape something awful ?
herbijudlestoids: haha
i got a little lost in the post where you offered 10BTC to the guy to put a sharpie in his butt
decimation:
I guess when peasants buy computers, peasant computing is what we get
herbijudlestoids: asciilifeform: interesting thought,
i hear yesterday the UK endorsed ODF for all documents in the future
nubbins`: but
i don't think there's enough to gain from blocking all unsigned apps for them to risk it
herbijudlestoids: after a rigorous discussion on bitcoin,
i always top it off with a quick
nubbins`: asciilifeform, that'd be the worry, but
i don't think it'll happen any time soon
decimation:
I believe they have unofficially said as much
decimation: nubbins` -
I enjoyed your German painter link. "Der Diktator der Kunst ist Ideal."
nubbins`: that said, nothing more than a mild inconvenience to disable the feature,
i'm sure
nubbins`: asciilifeform,
i always was curious about the "walled garden!!" type people who also owned consoles
nubbins`:
i downloaded an osx program the other day, double-clicked to open, "this application was not created by an authorized developer" or some such
decimation:
I suspect only datasheet/programming model
decimation:
I guess it wouldn't include said trickery
decimation:
I mean that it can program itself after design time
TomServo:
I got all excited and ran out of log. :(
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic
i'll just publish the thing when we're done
herbijudlestoids:
i wish people would stop interrupting your interesting comments with inane bullshit so
i can try to understand
☟︎ herbijudlestoids: but
i can prove to you quite easily through factor decomposition that most US hedge funds are not doing anything special at all
mircea_popescu: well,
i dun know what you think, obviously. im merely noticing that what you say comes from this one point of view.
Dimsler_: well
i dont' really want to deal with the west
mircea_popescu: "Nobody will care that the original paper may have been written by an American and the original discussion on the long forgotten original Bitcoin forum was carried in English.
I can deal just as well with Russian investors,
I can deal just as well with Chinese investors, Bitcoin is completely neutral from a cultural perspective. This neutrality means that cultures will have to compete. So far the US is losing this comp
Dimsler_: from the historical research on bubles
i've read
Dimsler_:
i think the run up will be one that nobody will be expecting
mircea_popescu:
i guess with the extra "watch us fail" boost 10k may even be possible
