a store and say "hey, can i just plug this keyboard into your POS and type
a bunch of commands in? i'll only be like half an hour"

a keyboard into the cash register
nubbins`: even though it's
a goddamn HID device
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "One was installed in
a ship and followed General Douglas MacArthur during his South Pacific campaigns. In total during WW2, the system supported about 3,000 high-level telephone conferences."

a consumer model, well , sort of consumer

a population P, and
a subset C who file
a class-action lawsuit against the government
nubbins`: my plan is to skulk around until i figure out
a way to cajole or barter my way into
a free account on coinbr or mpex
nubbins`: heh, you actually gave me
a bit of
a start then.
pankkake: I find it weird that they ignored people having glasses already. I mean, that's
a lot of nerds
jcpham: not
a *whole lot* of functionality but they can always update the functionality through play store
mircea_popescu: we don't advertise
a product that isn't yet orderable, no.
jcpham: remember android 1 was
a full OS with
a lot of apps
jcpham: they shipped
a half finished procut
jcpham: google glass is
a myth
pankkake: pretty good for
a delivery bet with no preorder
mircea_popescu: yes on this bet is actually
a better "investment" than everything they do over btctalk/reddit/etc.
pankkake: I do, I made
a comment to encourage Yes votes! :p
pankkake: 7% or -100% with
a pretty good change of the latter. that's some shitty gambling odds!
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i was thinking, if there's
a sudden hickup in the hashing there's going to be such
a run to cover the world has never seen
ThickAsThieves: it's still
a lil early to have an accurate number, but 338 blocks solved already since diffchange
Kleeck:
A nail biter, for sure.
mircea_popescu: get out of here, ready to ship, so it takes
a week if they ship today. too late.
pankkake: because they did show an empty case at
a conference?
mircea_popescu: zacm was here earlier and on teh grapevine for
a coupla weeks yeah
mircea_popescu: at least coinbase has the sense to rape ex-respectable ppl
a la gavin
pankkake: for
a guy who smokes weed probably
ThickAsThieves: "Brain wallets are not
a good way to secure your money."
pankkake: dexX7: I'm surprised it got into
a block
ThickAsThieves: "We are averaging 10,000 new customer sign-ups
a day, and are now working with over 16,000 merchants including OkCupid, Khan Academy, and Reddit, who use Coinbase to accept bitcoin. "
pankkake: well activemining is
a thing in
a sense that unicorns are still
a thing, you can write stories about them
ThickAsThieves: couldnt someone make
a decentralized bitcoin laundering scheme?
pankkake: but the whole input/output thing is there for
a reason, I don't think it can be easily changed
jcpham: actvemining is still
a thing?
dexX7: <ThickAsThieves> well it's silly that
a wallet exposes more info than needed for the tx << ?
ThickAsThieves: well it's silly that
a wallet exposes more info than needed for the tx
mircea_popescu: basically it's summed up by george costanza's "
a widget for televising opera or whatever"
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves the only reason that stopped is because the current crop of fanbois are too intellectually lazy to even take that much of
a reading plunge
mircea_popescu: outright sterile, actually. the only thing
a guy that comes out to claim he's the guy that REALLY invented bitcoin could possibly produce is
a ream of arguments with all the other guys claiming they did it even before him.
ThickAsThieves: better to be
a unique snowflake and make it up as you go
mircea_popescu: "Shortly after his panel on investment opportunities, former child star Brock Pierce (The Mighty Ducks) was engulfed by
a throng of admirers."
mircea_popescu: yeah i was thinking, what
a recipe for disaster this is, get
a bunch of very emotionally repressed, sexually insecure protestant type people and lock them up in
a can where the usual british problem of "acceptable things to talk about" is resolved by economical interest.
pigeons: mircea_popescu: i noticed when i was
a child people's "orthodontists" would reccomend the child get braces to pay for
a new boat for the "doctor". He told my mom my sister really needed them because otherwise low self esteem could mar her life forever. You notice lots of people with the exact same shaped teeth, its rather boring. It doesn't seem to bother Britons who floss with pocketknifes and forks
unbalanced: javanomad: I was greeted like
a conquering hero
pigeons: he's not
a clown either ;)
