mircea_popescu: at the rate things are going, this curiosity looks likely to be satisfied.
mircea_popescu: i'd be very curious to see first hand if the us based, usg fed "feminists" in the us would actually pick a rifle and a picket, when it comes to it.
mircea_popescu: i imagine if that thing's in use for a few centuries the bugs living in the pipe will be pretty wow.
mircea_popescu: macro events are visible, and the forest-for-trees problem is something one can approach with training and talent

mircea_popescu: that thing's a lot more fundamental than usually given credit for
mircea_popescu: in a sense, thinking about it... the usg problems come down to a poor implementation of the pipe.
mircea_popescu: i doubt hte usg gets anything at this point. just a lengthy succession of narrow "experts" who keep passing data cross a "telephone wire", while the meanings of the terms used change on every pass.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: it's one of those win-win/lose-lose scenarios. basically they're cutting their herds to drown us in blood

mircea_popescu: "it is unclear if bitcoin has any economic value", says nobel prize laureate.
mircea_popescu: ideally it'd work on the powers of two. first time a week, 1 bitcent, then 2 4 8 etc
mircea_popescu: i dunno how one is supposed to have an os without a pipe. ipads, winboxes, the whole shebang. how ?
mircea_popescu: i gotta say btw, the pipe is like... the greatest invention ever.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: guy works as a stupid sifter that's not really dragging up that much stupid.
mircea_popescu: heh that 260 dollar btc bet guy's gonna be pretty pissed
mircea_popescu: why let facts and scores get in the way of things. besides, scoring is raycist
mircea_popescu: every single time they've met in the field the russian feed the kenyan's ass to him, but hey.

mircea_popescu: jurov: don't want to end up with whole position on F.MPIF side << why not ? i'll just unwind it. the latest report actually says so, didja read it ?
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves: would love if mpex or an mpex property offered any sort of price instrument that would allow moving volume from other exchanges << specifically ?

mircea_popescu: dub: and system where an airliner falling out of teh sky ejects its passengers to be individually caught by bot swarm <<< from what i recall this is actually under commercial development.
mircea_popescu: decimation: Later they opted to operate more bots in the ham band <<< seems a reasonable solution, really. emergency ham band requisition. what'd you have them do ?
mircea_popescu: cazalla: 150k + coins traded yet bitcoin days destroyed has not budged << lulzy.
mircea_popescu: mthreat: ben_vulpes: I had assumed the l-39 went for around $1M, but they actually go for $175k up to $500k depending on avionics, refurbishing, etc <<< the opcost is the bigger problem there
mircea_popescu: but anyway, chet.ramey@case.edu aka 64EA74AB duly recorded.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: chetty: you wrote bash bug?! <<< she'd better not have lol
