mircea_popescu: exactly right. cheap money and the high time preference.
mircea_popescu: i mean. of the inch thickness, a half inch in the middle is barely warm.
mircea_popescu: ah. the stuff that you eat like salmon, practically ? half raw in the middle ?
mircea_popescu: ended up eating a whole fucking pick in oradea on my way back
mircea_popescu: i mostly ate lamb and chicken over my time among the no-pok-people.
mircea_popescu: your meat sucks. it's not even how you cook it. it fucking sucks.
mircea_popescu: you know, i've never had any decent beef, not in cairo, not in luxor, not even in lebanon.
mircea_popescu: <saifedean> a struggle to secure excellent quality food << can you go into detail ?
mircea_popescu: it works extremely poorly if one merely copies the visible parts of the institution.
mircea_popescu: this model works extremely well if one has the basement (not just the gold, but also the many travel stories in the basement of their head)
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller saifedean i am familiar with your idea of restaurants. these work as a retirement ploy by old merchants, who have an immense pile of gold in the basement, a pretty wife and don't give a shit about what may come, they juist want people to hang out and chat with.
mircea_popescu: saifedean maybe. i am also very good at cooking, people love my stuff and i could definitely get them to pay.
mircea_popescu: turns out, it can keep the sane man about three years.
mircea_popescu: saifedean for my own curiosity, google that string (no quotes) see what pops up ?
mircea_popescu: yeah, and the reason is he's not yet met anyone that groks it fully, so as to answer objection properly.
mircea_popescu: by the way, you know how to use the tools here ? like say
mircea_popescu: "let us make claims backwards! it's almost like science!"
mircea_popescu: inasmuch as it's the blockchain it will HAVE To work. or bust.
mircea_popescu: if you prefer working locally then not worth it. if you generally use that machine/dc, then worth it.
mircea_popescu: well it's worth the time in the sense that not having the 30gb in question wherever your favourite staging environment is is a major handicap.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes if you actually have the blockchain by very far the best way to do this is stage a local environment and feed the experimental instance through some sort of loopback
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell peterl yeah listen, this 50% uptime business is for the dogs.
mircea_popescu: JorgePasada maybe read all the disparate stuff, publish a digest.
mircea_popescu: Naphex on a related note, i really don't get all these derps going "oh you know what ? i'll run a hertzner vm through this magic layer. presto, totally anon!"
mircea_popescu: saifedean yes. for that matter, the bitcoin conference is in april.
mircea_popescu: i didn;'t get around to reading it yet, but its in the pile.
mircea_popescu: and im pretty sure all my blockchains are pre .5 for that matter.
mircea_popescu: keyid8A736F0E2FB7B452 fingerprint 6160E1CAC8A3C52966FD76998A736F0E2FB7B452
mircea_popescu: yeah srsly, use fingerprints. but that aside, best practice is still to extract key via gribble db
mircea_popescu: anyway, this is of relatively little consequence to us, because we use gribble rather than the pks mess.
mircea_popescu: "If the output size of the chosen hash is larger than the number of bits of q, the hash result is truncated to fit by taking the number of leftmost bits equal to the number of bits of q. This (possibly truncated) hash function result is treated as a number and used directly in the DSA signature algorithm."
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i was curiously waiting for the first one to notice.
mircea_popescu: cazalla: australian* even << really seems that guy is trying superhard to belong ?
