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: 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: asciilifeform guess what you and mr davis have in common.
mircea_popescu: decimation well, no. reversedly. for instance, germany claims to hold some gold it doesn't, and doesn't claim to hold any bitcoin, tho i think they do hold some.
mircea_popescu: it's improbable they'll move significantly either direction.
mircea_popescu: but since losethos has been mentioned : i do suspect ninjashogun is of a similar brand, without of course the technical ability.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> you'd have to buy 'xilinx' or 'altera' - the company - to go with the chip. and publicly gut it. << it will happen.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it'd better be because im betting on it getting blown out of the water.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel you kidding ? i doubt anyone even keeps track of mn granulairty.
mircea_popescu: because marginal hires won't ruin your codebase quite as badly ?
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel in practice that sort of manager is a dictator.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller "other than being uncommon, common lisp is also not lisp"

mircea_popescu: e lessons of the 45 years of languages that have followed it."
mircea_popescu: "(yeah, there are a bunch) are going to have to realize that if Lisp is ever going to be massively successful, it needs an overhaul. Or maybe a revolution. Contrary to what some might tell you, it doesn't need a committee, and it doesn't need a bunch of money. Linux proved exactly the opposite. Lisp needs a benevolent dictator.
