ozbot: Mastercoin is a Nightmare of Insanity
ivstr28: http://themisescircle.org/blog/2013/12/20/mastercoin-is-a-nightmare-of-insanity/
Duffer1: there's a couple threads about mastercion scam
KRS|Gotyawallet: and I never even seen a picture of a black santa claus.
KRS|Gotyawallet: Thats how everyone knows Jesus and Santa Claus were white. A picture of a black Jesus doesn't even look right.
benkay: "Thus, a Russian is less likely to consider sudden descent into pverty as a fall from God's grace, and economic collapse as God's punishment upon the people, while the religions that dominate America - Protestentatism, Judaism, Islam - all feature temporal success of their followers as a key piece of evidence that god is well-disposed to them."
Duffer1: @Bitcoin 2014 would be a great year to start!
KRS|Gotyawallet: hah thanks..i have a friend who is a roofer and gambles non stop poor guy..blackjack.
mircea_popescu: (the quote i used is a us baseball thing)
benkay: i'm interested in the notion of cheating as a prerequisite for success, and how most americans don't get this. gotta be a part of the socialist thought repression...
mircea_popescu: to quote a famous romanian artist.
zach_: if i suggest a new bet and i fund it, but it gets rejected do i get the BTC back?
z: hey i got a question, if i suggest a new bet and i fund it and they reject it, do i get my BTC back?
mircea_popescu: so theres this 70s film about a kid living in repressed california fucking his neighbour's wife and then her daughter.

ozbot: Post-Soviet Lessons for a Post-American Century
asciilifeform: see also the author's canonical piece, 'Post-Soviet Lessons for a Post-American Century'.
mod6: Thanks for the link. I always like to read about peoples accounts of what they went through during the fall of the USSR. Seems like a light-version of what the USSA is going to go through soon.
asciilifeform: the only conclusion is that its clients became such as: a gesture of submission.
mod6: A better term would be “qualitative fuffling:: the financial snake is finally eating its own tail.
asciilifeform: there's a fellow who appears to have a good handle on this phenomenon.
mod6: yeah, same thing with a lot of these places. Verisign got hacked, lost all SSL private keys. Pff.
asciilifeform: a while ago, somebody walked off with /all/ the private keys for those fobs
mod6: asciilifeform: you mean, you can build 1000 bridges and always be known as a 'bridge-builder' but if you suck 1 dick, you'll always be known as a cocksucker?
asciilifeform: villager Bob is visited by a chum of his. Bob points to a bridge, says 'built that there bridge, i did.'
mod6: (who was really suprised about the RSA/NSA news anyway?) I don't think there is a single software or hardware producer in the US that trust. Not that I perhaps ever did, but now its all out there!!
mod6: No Such lAbs can fill a huge coming void here.
mod6: With the news about RSA/NSA/BSafe and that they put in a backdoored Dual ECC RNG as default in the rolling key fob, I hardly imagine the demand for a trustworthy and open-source producer of cryptographic devices.
benkay: might just get my -otc auth down to a minute from a cold start
mod6: and lol @ "Hugs and kisses," & "Of what use is a bay?"
asciilifeform: afaik it was a purely academic demo, never went anywhere.
asciilifeform: the clockless ARM (pretty braindamaged idea, to take a classical cpu and make it clockless, but anyway) had to be designed ad hoc, avoiding industry-standard toolchains. ☟︎
asciilifeform: none of this is a secret.
asciilifeform: you end up with a CPU for which you cannot say 'X MHz'
mircea_popescu: question : since asics have to be special built anyway, could one build a ternary asic ?
mircea_popescu: so you are actually sitting there and telling me that ternary based machines a la setun actually have a computational future, technologically speaking
asciilifeform: so propagation delays are no longer a problem
asciilifeform: metastability problem is solved by every gate having a 'inputs are ready' signal as well as inputs
mircea_popescu: i don't think apple for instance would have a problem with making a system that doesn't work with any computing hardware in the world.
mircea_popescu: at a cost of ?
asciilifeform: take-home lesson is: you get a machine with fewer moving parts - and fewer weird hacks required to make arithmetic go.
mircea_popescu: a
mircea_popescu: isn't it the case that the situation summarizes as "the russki folks came up with the idea of trying out alternative logix, made the setun, proved thereby the thing is a waste of time" ?
mircea_popescu: seems a reasonable suggestion, if you're going to the trouble of building a boeing
mircea_popescu: just have a true and an (arbitrary?) number of falsehoods.
mircea_popescu: ". Decrement isn’t a basic operation and requires linear rather than constant time" << this is perhaps the best part.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i originally though the guy was a programmer, which seemed interesting.
asciilifeform: 'what people “want” is a function of what they learn is available. e.g., do Americans want three-ring binders, and Europeans four-ring binders? or do they want binders and take whatever number of holes they come with? or do they want something that can help them organize their papers and take whatever is available? or do they really want a less cluttered office and ease of storage and retrieval of the infor ☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: it's supposed to be a diversion! the fucking trade is called variety!
mircea_popescu: i spent a decade of my youth in roughly equal halves between producing porn and handling hollywood ip. you'd be surprised how often it is the case that "no scripts are new".
mircea_popescu: a a
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: these captchas have really fallen through the floor, and i will crib your method when i have a moment of time...
mircea_popescu: aite, so now you have a comment.
asciilifeform: for anybody who still gives a damn re: the urbit wars: http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1390&cpage=1#comment-8475

Vexual: no i met some hot 18yo lezzos coming out of an aa meeting once and thought about it, but australia is a bit like russia, it's pretty easy to function as an alcoholic
