mircea_popescu: and i do mean this. nobody. tom cook isn'
t a fucking ceo, and if i replaced him with hillary's daughter there'd be no perceptible difference anywhere.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am not entirely sure that ability to distinguish wasn'
t more of a symptom of the cockroach working than anything else. "i can distinguish tarantula that bit me from tarantula that did not" is scarcely a quote after linnaeus.
mircea_popescu: but be this as it may, i can'
t distinguish nor am i inclined to distinguish j supran's pretense that he engages in "science" from random wanna-be-trilema online publication's pretense that it describes "the mainstream" from random wonderdiet late night cable sleazemarketer's "salvation cuisine" from any of the rest of the gunk. they are exactly the same thing, and the word to denote them exists already. barbar.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the importance of cutting short the gypsy's pretense that he lives in an alt-country ; the grubfilth's pretense that he has an alt-hygiene, the neoprotestant's pretense that he has an alt-religion (discoivered it himself, he did!) and so on is key. a "vegan" is not someone who "has an alternative cookbook" but an imbecile who doesn'
t know how and what to eat. and so on.
mircea_popescu: chick that has no fucking idea she should wash isn'
t part of "the unwashed culture", she's part of nothing.
mircea_popescu: you can'
t speak of "the native culture" for exactly this reason. the indians have no culture, and inasmuch as they do not, they're not people.
mircea_popescu: whatever it retains outside the blockchain aren'
t blocks.
mircea_popescu: trinque i don'
t think i ever went to a cinema with a girl that wouldn'
t take stuff off. not past the age of 13 in any case, or as an independent agent, or however you put it.

https://www.susanjfowler.com/blog/2017/2/19/reflecting-on-one-very-strange-year-at-uber >> they said that I didn'
t show any signs of an upward career trajectory. I pointed out that I was publishing a book with O'Reilly, speaking at major tech conferences, and doing all of the things that you're supposed to do to have an "upward career trajectory", but they said it didn'
t matter and I needed to prove myself as an engineer.
mircea_popescu: and before anyone attempots the historical gambit, "but mp, that's not what it is, but it's what they thought in 1960", gimme a break. that's what INEPT AND LAZY BUT AMBITIOUS GIRLIES thought. much like poor people think "rich people can;'
t be happy", as a cheap and useless psychological defense.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the notion that nature isn'
t stylish can only come out of somebody who has put absolutely no work whatsoever into studying nature. half an hour in the microbiology lab should permanently disabuse one of the notion.
mircea_popescu: same exact nonsense, "i'll talk about things i don'
t know"
mircea_popescu: they can'
t mature on their own ; nor can they construct a working society on their own. this is neither shocking nor worth the mention.
mircea_popescu: the girlies that didn'
t get to see deepthroat but worshipped "stars".
mircea_popescu: to make the story round, alf : there is ample record, not just re antinisca nemour's stinky feet, but in general regarding the women of the 70s and before. they didn'
t wash. what i have to deal with today in say
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-08#1537246 is the tail end of a half century process that BEGAN with exactly this, "sharing the fruits of industry", in this case hollywood, with people unfit to make the wot lists. all
☝︎ mircea_popescu: yes, well, all it needs to show is that it is a problem. you don'
t get to unproblem it.
mircea_popescu: but the fixation on collecting the dust is quite akin to the fixation on "collecting the water" in a spaceship, or for that matter with the fixation on "retaining the atmosphere" on planet earth. venus, see, didn'
t so much care about its dust.
mircea_popescu: all the rest, that he used boost, or bdb or qt, or that he doesn'
t know how to design or that he scratched his name in the lens can be fixed
mircea_popescu: you can'
t go around picking some random parts of your spec to disavow. you put it in there.
mircea_popescu: there isn'
t a "this is a 4th roll of this cask - must fill" field in your protocol.
a111: Logged on 2017-02-28 11:56 mircea_popescu: to demand miner makes a certified statement to the effect of "offset 0xa to 0xb in block y is reserved for txn 0xc" is putting a constraint on this p2p system the likes of which it can'
t conceivably bear.
mircea_popescu: yeah, there is. the fact that node can'
t reproduce miner but miner can reproduce node.
mircea_popescu: in fact most usecases that don'
t reduce to "we know each other so really we don'
t need bitcoin in the first place" fail to be served by your scheme as it is.
mircea_popescu: fenses a la "he didn'
t really do it, someone else did, and he's unloved!!1"
mircea_popescu: b) i point and laugh at some idiots. they demure. i ruin their shit. they bitch and whine. i now have to specifically go on the hunt for nodes that DON'
T lend an ear to the idiots bitching and whining ? on my own time & dime ? why the everloving fuck. the entire fucking point of even having cryptocurrency in the first place is so that i can rape eth, and flaunt the rape, and nobody can do jack shit other than flimsly psychode
mircea_popescu: and if i try to meet some... they don'
t roll anything down... a day later finally someone rolls something down and so i put my txn in and it... doesn'
t get included. wtf is this shit ?
mircea_popescu: a fifth, major point is that the current ~ten minute blocks are predicated on loose coupling of "casks" (current situation can be deemed to be that all miners roll infinity of casks at all times to all comers, and all pubkeys are nil) and no negotiation whatsoever occurring either downward or backward. the dual-negotiation system you propose instead a) has never been tried in practice (which practically reduces to "can'

☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform re your piece (you know if you had intelligently published it ON YOUR OWN BLOG i could have left a comment there instead, and in a year or whenever this were to be reviewed we wouldn'
t have to go grepping the logs like idiots) :
ben_vulpes: i don'
t much know about paths out, but hatred is definitely the fuel for the torch i use to burn a moat around my tiny castle.
mircea_popescu pictures trinque in beatles uniform, "michelle... i don'
t speak the language... but i can perceive the hole..."
trinque: I don'
t speak the language, man, but I saw the lollipops
mircea_popescu: "bitch, i bet you didn'
t even get your cock sucked until i taught your mistress how."
mircea_popescu: there's no general rule two bit crack whore can'
t do an epic strip number.
BingoBoingo: phf: You aren'
t missing anything. The problem is your brain is working.
phf: i don'
t understand weird al. it's some weird post-hippy take on klezmer, but i feel like i'm missing something, some kind of intermediate step
mircea_popescu is moderately surprised amontillado wasn';
t even mentioned.
mircea_popescu: it's almost as good as "you can'
t tell who sent who what"
a111: Logged on 2017-02-27 21:41 asciilifeform: actually i know an algo that does this. will post it later, if it isn'
t obvious to mircea_popescu et al after a few minutes' thought.
mircea_popescu: there's a lot of cunt, beer, tv etc given away for free every day ; doesn'
t make these not markets.
mircea_popescu: but to be clear - if you are "civilian" you shouldn'
t be speaking.
mircea_popescu: nobody you don;
t know is your friend, wtf globalism bs is this.
mircea_popescu: but yes, all metaeconomic motivation. i wouldn'
t call it ccountereconomic. much like me treating the whores well in the 90s contrary to male ideology of the time was not countereconomic.
a111: Logged on 2017-02-27 22:04 mircea_popescu: i certainly don'
t keep nodes for "our democracy", as discussed recently.

☟︎ trinque: why am I relaying txn to 99% of people who aren'
t going to do a damned thing with it
mircea_popescu: kinda what the whole mempool does, reduces the wallflower problem. (irl, girls don'
t dare go up to boys lest other girls think them sluts, and boys don'
t dare go up to girls lest other boys think them losers)
mircea_popescu: either his rigs don'
t cost money, in which case it's a proof-of-reddit coin a la doge, or else they do, in which case stfu you're not invited to the party.
trinque: but I don'
t see what any of that benefits
trinque: that doesn'
t follow from what I said.
trinque: doesn'
t really answer the question
trinque: miner doesn'
t want my fee?
mircea_popescu: deeply unfungible, like people, these txn. 15yo can'
t fuck 5yo.
mircea_popescu: this will necessarily mean that the woman does not own her body, in some sense and to some degree, when discussing cunts ; and that i don'
t know what the fuck unpleasantry, when discussing bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: nobody, and consequently... they aren'
t. but this isn'
t a market, it's a war.
danielpbarron: the transactions and addresses wouldn'
t need to contain info about the expiration. the nodes would know when it expires based on when it was first mined into a block
mircea_popescu: it's not so far clear that there can'
t exist a sensible, and protocol-explicit method to close a market around the fundamental problem of uxto
mircea_popescu: because what is must be a certain way, whereas what isn'
t yet can be any way whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: this is a truth of the same level of, "a ship needn'
t carry a shipyard"
mircea_popescu: please don'
t tell me you aim to reimplement jfs in btc ;/ way the fuck cheaper to just use one.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the piece needn'
t be found as such. a large portion of the us-mexico conflict of the 1980s was over silver. which was good money in china.
a111: Logged on 2015-02-14 17:42 mircea_popescu: unrelated datapoints. half energy available \being used to mine bitcoin makes bitcoin safe for humans (safe in the sense of, won'
