mircea_popescu: they weren't really aware what it is they're doing, right ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's such bs. you know how the soviets worked, right ? all the scum reporting to the nkvd "had to", right ?
mircea_popescu: convenient idiots ? tyvm, it's exactly anderpopolous' line. "i'm not really shilling, i'm just stupid. buy my shit!"
mircea_popescu: then zeke is all "o, not possible to be stooges". duh. what else are they ?
mircea_popescu: it seems the exact same sort of entirely broken, pseudoscientific, narcissistic gung-ho idiocy
mircea_popescu: am i the only one who is amused by the strict similarity between the "o we know how climate works ; listen to us to fix what's broken with earth's industry" of these muppets and the "o, we know how hardware will work in the future ; listen ot us to fix what's broken with bitcoin" of the BF sponsored muppets ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform matters not. the lord doesn't aim to kill sin, merely as many sinners as can get hands on.
mircea_popescu: for instance, about 98% of english speaking people involved in earth studies just rendered themselves
mircea_popescu: bounce not a problem of science, of course, but a problem of scientists, actual and aspiring.
mircea_popescu: because no, no study produced by ANY PERSON who ever produced a "global warming" piece of "research" can ever be used for any scientific purpose whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: if you support policy with your "findings" you ruin your career once those findings turn out to be not truth, but mere science.
mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, is why it's unwise for people aspiring to science to get involved in politics.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski oh, that's how you say "we fucked up royally and lost any possible shred of crediblity" in government-scientistalese now ? "we have more to learn" ?
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic the notion of javascript:pop makes me sad.
mircea_popescu: bounce not nearly as hard as a compiler, if you mean a tight optimizing compiler. otherwise, rms has been writing compilers in a day and a half on emacs.
mircea_popescu: lisp never managed, for instance. neither did python. etc.
mircea_popescu: making it take off and become what EVERYONE uses is going to be a lot more work than that.
mircea_popescu: but it is. and you can repeat with own hands, as a model
mircea_popescu: "the liver is fine, it's all that other shit sround it"
mircea_popescu: "my solution for fixing this guy's liver is to dispense with the guy"
mircea_popescu: well if that's how you're going to go about it, how about running deathtrack in an emulator while linux handles bitcoin and call it a msdos bitcoind ?
mircea_popescu: you do, yes, inasmuch as afaik it's compiled on 16 bit with a bunch of strange as what's maxint. won't even be able to reference half the arrays becayse they smash various stacks
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what sonny, you're too good for volume swaps ?
mircea_popescu: wasn't exactly "designed from the ground up with portability in mind"
mircea_popescu: kinda my point. bitcoind makes a bunch of assumptions about what it can do to the internet
mircea_popescu: tbh the msdos stack bug carnival + bitcoin bug carnival would be one sad hell.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell pankkake hey listen, how much would you want to compile and sign a bunch of code ? specifically eulora codebase and proper bitcoind (.6-.7 versions) ? gentoo and whatever else you can stomach.
mircea_popescu: anyone want to do a bunch of compiling and sign stuff ?
mircea_popescu: but actually his is a legitimate request. i guess im adding this to the "wanted maintainer for eulora binaries" thing : wanted maintainer for bitcoin binaries.
mircea_popescu: i guess it's an interesting question, "what's the new guy to do". bunch of playing catchup it seems
mircea_popescu: generally the people involved in bitcoin to this level kinda have the history, and a complete file of historical versions and so on.
mircea_popescu: well you get the code off the repository and compile it
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski you really should know better than taking bitcoin "foundation" shit at face value yo.
mircea_popescu: lmao. dude... anyone can do that. including the derp writing the report.
mircea_popescu: if you're the sort of gentoo/linux/foss user that downloads and runs buggy pieces of shit, you're expected to either a) be conversant in code and fix em or else b) not run production.
mircea_popescu: none of this is remarkable, but in fact functioning as intended.
mircea_popescu: look, it's really simple. gentoo doesn't give a shit about bitcoin, it's yet another crackpot app as far as they're concerned. at some internal review it was determined it's much too buggy to be in main, and so it got put wherever they put retarded shit, and put someone in charge of it, in this case luke. the someone in charge is doing weird shit to it, as you'd expect of someone in charge of a buggy piece of shit not
mircea_popescu: cue memes of an antropomorphic sugar cube with chainsaw
mircea_popescu: as per usual, reddit makes a mess of things. they're like ten year olds, those people. "o did you hear sugar kills ? sure, it killed sam's dog!"
mircea_popescu: in fact, anyone with the werewithal to boycott as much as a donut stand can just as well patch out whatever.
mircea_popescu: gentoo decided they'll let bitcoin in there as a luke thing.
mircea_popescu: not like it actually does anything. bout as retarded as bayesian spam filtering.
mircea_popescu: they go to the pink sheets, to live as one of a few well specified chumpatron models
mircea_popescu: "iTulip.com Ad Policy As of March 31, 2006, you well see Goggle AdSense ads on iTulip.com."
mircea_popescu: generally, the proposition that you'll "go to heaven" through a certain recipe is doomed to create monsters
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: if capsule floats a microphone near the thermocline (naturally, by a wire too thin to be lifted by) can 'pop' from 1000+km. << unless someone/thing tried to lift it prior
mircea_popescu: "As he packs up his BFL units to sell, he explains to his son that he threw away his bitcoins and their future because he is stupid and ignored MPOE-PR's posts on Bitcoin Talk. Despite all of this, Dan continues to wear his Butterfly Labs t-shirt till the end of the film, as if it is a remnant, a small piece of a future he will not enjoy."
mircea_popescu: this'd be a decent idea for an oglaf strip : a retarded indian that doesn't quite grok the entire scalping business so he's going around with a string of pubic hair patches
mircea_popescu: the construction "isn't limited to simply Bitcoin, but also Litecoin, Ripple and Dogecoin" is broken in that it expands to "isn't limited to X, it's limited to X Y Z and K"
