nubbins`: two nights in a row!
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Honestly I though it was a dark wallet because even light can't escape the gravity pulling them coinz to his wallet.
Vexual: heres a simple maths question
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it's a dark wallet cause he's from morocco or w/e.
BingoBoingo: First there's Taaki's Darkwallet project (Whatever the fuck makes a wallet dark, is it the melanin?) then there's his recent surge in activity on the forum.
mircea_popescu: So here you have like a currency, which started out from zero dollars, and there was an example like somebody bought pizza, for like thirty thousand bitcoins, and now each bitcoin is worth like ten dollars. And the reason is, is a lot of these people who are like technological people, they look at this system and they say (she says?) like wow this has like massive potential.

Vexual: while the foam from aust pol and hezbollah reaches a similar height in politics, the input changes the output
Vexual: whats a taaki?
Vexual: well i guess it depends on the test, it's a two way street
nubbins`: i thought they took 30 points off if you expressed an interest in a career in law enforcement
Vexual: compare that to a similar organisation such as hezbollah

mircea_popescu: especially iof the miners come as a business expense.
kleeck: You have to keep in mind that there are miners who believe that a Bitcoin will be orders of magnitude more valuable then it currently is. So present day ROI (in fiat) isn't an issue for them.
jborkl_: True but they want VC money and a VC valuation
mircea_popescu: jborkl_ i suspect a good chunk of the people mining today are mining to obtain bitcoin, not to obtain dollars.

kleeck: Did they state that they have a $5M NRE payment?

jborkl: But, there were a few things keeping me from placing a order
jborkl: There is a reason I did not write a article
kleeck: I was hoping for a real source!

mircea_popescu: that's a js sample sha-256 implementation
mircea_popescu: well a shashop is 2 sha-256 hashings

dexX7: replace all T with a P and you're fine
mircea_popescu: "a long way away".
Azelphur: but yea, I reckon that scenario is a long way away
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: I'm dubious as to if a difficulty spike of this magnitude will happen again for a while now though - we've jumped through all iterations of current technology
Perlboy: although not having social welfare seems a bit of a fools errand.
mircea_popescu: jurov it's about a 40%
jurov: so it wont make a difference
mircea_popescu: they already cut out food stamps for like, a day.
mircea_popescu: by their distorted reasoning, as there's not enough tax income to satisfy both of these, there will be a default.
Azelphur: I thought because the government hasn't been issued funding, they are unable to make this months payments on the bond, which is a default, no?
pankkake: "The Wunderlich children were returned after the parents promised they would send their children back to a state school" so? they're still stealing children

The student's mother, assisted by the American Civil Liberties Union of Maryland, sought and received an apology from the teacher, as state law and the school's student handbook both prohibit students from being forced to recite the Pledge

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I stand by my earlier idea that the Cardano should be available in at least two gift boxes. One with the Cardano, lingere, and a camera; and the other with the Cardano and a blackjack.
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: if store-bought socks routinely came with a contact poison, i imagine that quite a few people would learn to knit.
asciilifeform: if you want one now, and would rather not wait for mine, build the damn thing yourself. It will take you a day or two.
asciilifeform: a good HRNG is, probably unavoidably, one of two kinds: that you built yourself, or is simple enough to examine with basic bench instruments to see that it has 'nothing up the sleeve.'
asciilifeform: problem is: it is quite possible to build a HRNG that passes any conceivable 'test of entropy' while remaining insecure.
VanCleef: but it has a norton secured thingy on its site
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The 89 at least has a 3.5 like audio jack. I'm kind of leaning towards Mircea's orgy microphone as a seed input idea.
asciilifeform: AFAIK neither includes a TRNG.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: If you've managed to write a working TCP/IP stack for your TI, go for it.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: If I wanted to replace my primary computer with a more obedient machine, would you recommend an HP or a TI graphing calculator. I'm just wondering because reading you makes me more paranoid than I was.
nubbins`: still a rough way to have to use a computer though
nubbins`: hm. how far along 7 can you get on a mac classic?
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: Well it would be if the three Mac Classics could use a decent unix instead of Mac os 7 or AU/X
nubbins`: that's a great setup
