mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if memory serves it worked by "ignore missing deps" flag at compile time lol
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i know. im prepping your packager so you don't have to do it yourself.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron drop an address i'll send you a few dollah so you can buy yourself a few pogos to try it all out on.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron wouldja be willing to package asciilifeform's final pogo stuff into a very detailed, any noob can get it post ?
mircea_popescu: as it is, it dun exist. has to have rounded corners yo! but anyway! let's do packaging separately.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform are you going to write a full step by step guide and publish on blog ?
mircea_popescu: the sad fact of the matter is that ONLY THEY DO. and the current libertardism of the us was exactly b-a back in the 70s.
mircea_popescu: decimation incidentally, for all the idiots who imagine (well, wish to believe, and so do believe) that b-a is "a cult" or that well designed, self-centered cultures do not prevail irl...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i thought you just said it worked a moment ago ?
mircea_popescu: Dimsler yeah, "trade" is not "give me free shit while i tan". how did that silly quote go, "And so on. The three men ended up working like dogs, using all the skills developed by trial and error in their first few weeks – building a hut, fish, trying to get the women to forage. The women continued to bitch and sunbathe."
mircea_popescu: adlai dude, you're making yourself impossible to follow. i thought you wrote a fx bot that works on 2-3 exchanges currenty and you're looking to finance it.
mircea_popescu: <decimation> of course the ideology of that fourth reich was harvard circa 1945 << very astute observation.
mircea_popescu: adlai you don't have to have a mpex account to be a pc manager if that's what yer asking.
mircea_popescu: what, the french in alger, the belgians in congo, the erryone errywhere.
mircea_popescu: thousands of dacias sailed out of timisoara EACH DAY by train, for over a year
mircea_popescu: Dimsler but at great gain to the quality of life of the average romanian. and to a lesser degree, frenchman.
mircea_popescu: i think it's so tense and comma-tose because you're too tight. gotta learn to relax without liquor.
mircea_popescu: adlai so that's how it works. you get some btc, publish your trades, etc.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: Dimsler fat chance of that. you folk will need tyo go beat all the gypos over the head again, and then the brits will burn berlin because 'o noes' again.
mircea_popescu: adlai you ever looked into the workings of panacea ? and mike_c's tracking thereof ?
mircea_popescu: ially it may seem unfortunate that someone decided to promote him from penny arcade optimisations to managing the finances of a populated area that to some degree still succeeds in putting forth the pretense of a sovereign state, with a government and everything. Upon further consideration, you will notice it's exactly adequate.
mircea_popescu: One piece of fallout from SYRIZA's recent win in Greec is the appointment of Yanis Varoufakis (mostly remembered for tinkering with Valve's Steam marketplace) to the position of Finance Minister. Yanis Varoufakis could also be less charitably remembered for penning numerous naive essays throughout the Spring of 2013, dedicated to misrepresenting Bitcoin as some sort of impossible fantasy incapable of anything. Superfic
mircea_popescu: ave remained entirely without note. Unfortunately someone decided to promote him from advising ways for an arcade could extract more money from chumps to managing the finances of a populated area that is still by some miracle, in some form a sovereign state with a government.
mircea_popescu: One piece of fallout from the recent SYRIZA win in Greece's election is the appointment of Yanis Varoufakis, most notable for tinkering with Valve's Steam video game marketplace to the position of Finance Minister. Yanis Varoufakis is much less notable for in the spring of 2013 writing one of the many essays naively assailing Bitcoin as some sort of impossible fantasy incapable of anything, an essay that safely could h
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you definitely impose contorted grammar upon the reading public.
mircea_popescu: adlai no dude, weren't you looking to run a PC based on it ?
mircea_popescu: maybe the blockchain that messes up seconds is a minute off over ten trillion years. whereas cesium clocks, .855% off
mircea_popescu: how about the effects of gravity! how about the effects of universe expanding! how abvout etc.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo ima try an' catch up. apparently can't sleep
mircea_popescu: sure. but perhaps it would be great at measuring economic and perhaps even social and political phenomena.
mircea_popescu: otherwise suire, atopmic clock works great for atomic physics.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's why i laid into him. he wanted micro precision somehow magically over macro spans.
mircea_popescu: "hey check it out, as long as im measuring atom transitions by atom transitions, atom transitions do not appear to misbehave!"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as long as that determination was made in a certain system that precludes so and so :)
mircea_popescu: such as, contracts. "rent this appartment for 50`000 blocks"
mircea_popescu: i can see a whole swathe of applications for which it would be.
mircea_popescu: we can agree that any convention is provably broken. that's by definition.
mircea_popescu: EXACTLY. same argument bolsters the "time in blocks" conventionb.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "they had to act inconsistently to maintain a certain facade of consistency"
mircea_popescu: decimation yeah, which is why we just had a cve earlier.
mircea_popescu: note, re the "replication" that recently they were stuck adding a 2nd 3rd second off midnight,
mircea_popescu: standards generally are a recent thing. but time is particularly iffy when you try to bridge what's fundamentally unbridgeable
mircea_popescu: this is like "rigurously" defining womanhood as "n individual sex acts"
mircea_popescu: even the other kind is a convention rather than a factual point at subsecond accuracy across decades
mircea_popescu: time as anything other than arbitrary convention is a hard proposition.
mircea_popescu: note that merely *thinking* you do, or "not being able to find otherwise" can trivially be replicated by the conventional model he proposes.
mircea_popescu: lol "i advise people to learn html, becausre that's a language and it worked for me. wut ?"
mircea_popescu: there's always one of these, that came in and ruined "a good thing". prollly the chinese i gues, tho you never know.
mircea_popescu: im kinda curious who will be claimed as the evil foreign invader.
