mircea_popescu: incidentally, for all
the naive engineering
types who despise make-up and other feminine arts :
ben_vulpes: like which babe was
that?
the one who is in la now or
the one coming back from la or
the one who won't shut up about how miserable
the guys in la and portland are?
mircea_popescu: there's your conversation piece right
there, should be enough for a wine bottle's worth
mircea_popescu: "hey,
this asshole from irc wants
to know if you're single"
ben_vulpes: no, i'm
trying
to
think about if she mentioned any sort of so last
time she was over
mircea_popescu: what, you don't know her ? EVERYONE KNOWS EVERYONE IN
TINYTOWN OREGONZ!
mircea_popescu: in other news,
this camille collard chick's hawt. she single ben_vulpes ?
mircea_popescu: "dead not dancing" apparently also made "pet world". i guess we look
there for alf's ?
mircea_popescu: dude
the made-up names srsly... Director: Benjamin Ross Lyerly Writers: Byron Diffenderffer, Maria Martin gimme a break
mircea_popescu: jesus pinterest is a pos, seriously, "log in with facebook" ? what
the shit
mircea_popescu: there's some relation between
tall and management, but if it is it's a statistical rather
than a deductive link.
mircea_popescu: imagine you go
to a mcdonalds and sort
the staff in :
tall or short ; respectively management, labour or both.
mircea_popescu: the sadism/masochism
thing deals with pain ;
the dom/sub
thing deals with behaviour.
they're not really
the same
thing.
mircea_popescu: there's no such
thing, not anymore
than "faggotsbians"
mircea_popescu: fact is,
there's more masochists
than sadists, and always will be.
mircea_popescu: there is no such
thing as "one shot" in nature.
the genes also speak.
mircea_popescu: because obviously any other sort of
talk is impure! SATAN!
mircea_popescu: nevertheless,
the anglotards have
taken
the puritanism
to such absurd degree
they can't
talk
to each other unless at least vaguely going
through
the motions of selling something
mircea_popescu: there's also
the important consideration of "conversation piece".
this is entirely a hermetic concept
to anyone living outside of
the anglosphere, which is
to say sanely inserted in a functioning social fabric.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, children play with
toy guns rather
than functional rifles.
mircea_popescu: the original nubbins' failure
to matter is a fine example in exactly
this vein - you can't
take
the pig out of
the pig just because you want another prince.
mircea_popescu: i can readily see
this difference, myself :
the later's perhaps a useful
toy
to get idiots
to formally behave sanely. it is oft misplaced, like
the hope
that if you daily dress a pig in clean underwear, it'll
turn into a price.
mircea_popescu: similarly, apparently
there's a difference between "owning" a "bitcoin gem"
that exists chiefly as a succession of forum posts ; and "owning" a "physical bitcoin"
that exists chiefly as a succession of gpg-signed promises.
mircea_popescu: not a difference in
terms of perversion, of course, neither's workable, or real, or etc. but
there's a difference in
terms of practice, if cable company delivers a box of used stockings instead of modem it'll hear no end of reddit mentions.
mircea_popescu: there's a difference between millenial style perv, who jacks it
to webcams, and john waters era perv, who jacks it
to used stockings.
trinque: so perhaps bitcoin just lies and says "current block" in
that field when unconfirmed
mircea_popescu: same EXACT
thing, with
the negligible difference
that nubbins-likes like
this scam and don't like
that scam
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you recall
the "bitcoin gem" "gold bar" etc ponzi ?
a111: Logged on 2016-05-05 13:03 asciilifeform:
the
thermodynamic 'taboo against
the coincidence' is described in, oddly enough, winnie pooh! '"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and
then he had
to stop and
think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good
thing
to do,
there was a moment just before you began
to eat it which was better
than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.'
a111: Logged on 2016-07-06 15:12 asciilifeform: it is quite unclear
to me why ~promise~ needed
to be re-introduced
to where
there was perfectly working ~protocol~.
trinque: "n-no really, it's in
this block
this
time, I swear"
mircea_popescu: also no signatures plox,
they are
triggering and unequitable
to poor black women
trinque: it's just saying whichever block
the node is currently on
mircea_popescu: cuz if
the blocks were bigger it wouldn't matter which one it was in amirite ?
shinohai: We need BIGGER BLOCKS
TO FIX
THIS
trinque: now it claims
this
transaction is in block 419560 !!
mircea_popescu: "your submission is so exciting is not interesting and so offensive it fails
to actually say anything we disagree with"
mircea_popescu: picture kat with learning hat on and nothing else. "how was
that
thing
that output a file ?" "cat" "yes master ?" "cat!" eyes me intensely.
mircea_popescu: actually, i mostly
teach
the girls
to compute via bash
mircea_popescu: i'm currently wondering if sex in alf household is something pet always initiates, and has
to fight
through a barrage of "this won't work and has already been done but it went away" first!
mircea_popescu: besides, normalized proper notation goes into alt
tag anyway.
mircea_popescu: nah,
the ability
to write a+b/(c+d)^3 and have it painted it out in
the article is something.
shinohai: mircea_popescu: forgot
the /s which doesn't readily
translate
mircea_popescu: shinohai fucks up caching, watch your bw go from 2-8tb
to 10-20 pb
mircea_popescu: trinque i has nfi, all i know is i put deeds in, wanted
to add
them
to s.mg report, can't add because no link!
thestringpuller: interestingly
that all
these require
the user
to voluntarily be scammed
shinohai: convert all images
to base64 ftw
trinque: so how is it
that my node
thinks 3b25814dbf1ff4982ccc1e0a44fed01f53e36a1350ec2ac2aeb15ba8c625fa70 is in block 419551 ?
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: aha. "Well settle when we feel like it. for
tungsten bars" so what you have described is
the process in which you could put
tungsten into bitcoin bars
mircea_popescu: incidentally : someone writing a
tex processor for serenity (ex mp-wp)
themes
that shinohai can
then just import as a standard would be pretty epic.
☟︎ thestringpuller: so
threshold is settlement
time? what is greatest amount of
time still acceptable for settlement?
thestringpuller: that is when does my invoice
to sultan of brunei become "physical btc"
a111: Logged on 2016-01-17 21:13 asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it works by ben_vulpes, sultan of brunei, and king of saud, sending each other pgpgrams with signed chits of how many
tonnes of plutonium each owes
the other.
thestringpuller: well when casascius scams me you can be
the first
to "I
told you so"
