mircea_popescu: but i imagine davout has been
taking notes on how
to do
this ; and for sure a good question in any future receiver selection will be "what have you learned from bitbet liquidation process"
mircea_popescu: ideally
the way
to do
this is, auction master gives out a hash, everyone must include it
☟︎☟︎ mod6: i mean, did
that happen?
mircea_popescu: "yes" only means something among
the sort of idiots
that'd
take
that.
mod6: is it a real
thing about
turing and
the HH
thing?
danielpbarron: i'm not convinced putting so much signed material out
there was even
the right way
to have done
that..
mod6: maybe i was smoking crack. got him a bit confused with pascal and
the war, and
the accounting bit
mod6: oh yeah, leibniz created
the 'stepped reckoner' right?
mod6: yeah,
thats
the
thing
mod6: got off on
that
tangent
too
mod6: meanwhile,
the 30 years war raged
mod6: ah yeah, i read about all of
this recently because of our discussions lately.
mircea_popescu: in
truth clockworkery had been a slowly evolving craft since greek antiquity.
mod6: oh, yeah, probably not
the first or anything.
BingoBoingo: davout: Now it should be fixed, but I do not see anything wrong with hyperlink extending
to
trailing space.
mod6: leibniz invented
that mechanical calculator right?
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: I am
tentatively adding
the
t as per davout's announcement
davout: mircea_popescu: lemme check all
that
tomorrow when i'm fully woken up :D
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: ya,
that's weird, i guess i goes by both ?
BingoBoingo: davout: I am not seeing extra spaces in
there
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Not in
the name as he presented it with
the winning bid
mircea_popescu: davout
to
try and get a final settlement here, i owe you 199.45006789, add
to which 13.37 ; you owe me 86 for
to be distributed
to
the shareholders, add
to which 4.83378422 from
the hotwallet, add
to which 3.35043347 (335.04334737×.01), comes
to 118.63585027 altogether.
that sound right ? winner pay you yet ?
☟︎ davout: BingoBoingo:
the "highest bid at 86 Bitcoin" link has extra spaces
mod6: so cheers for getting
them up and going. :]
mod6: glad
to be back reading
the logs
though.
mod6: btw,
these logs could use a hh:mm:ss
ts on
the front
pete_dushenski: davout: cheers. you're probably not
the only one who would've preferred known and (somewhat)
trusted owner vs. unknown quantity, but hey money
talks and bullshit walks.
mod6: asciilifeform:
thanks for
the ada link
pete_dushenski: not like i wasn't planning how i'd overcome
this retardation if i was going
to be handling >100
txen per mo, but hey, someone else's problem now i guess
mod6: pete_dushenski: hey I did get your message about
the weird balance
thing. i've seen
that myself
too.
pete_dushenski: ;;later
tell ben_vulpes i can see why you like
that shelbyllet : it's aircraft meets muscle car. and wouldja check out
that inboard/pushrod suspension! mega-nifty. largely unseen on street cars outside lambo aventador ($500k) and, of course, pagani ($1mn+++)
mod6: good convo
today re: ada/c/math machine, etc.
mircea_popescu: fortunately no earthquakes. hopefully
they mostly fixed it.
mircea_popescu: and
tbh, at some point in
the 90s moscow was half falling over, actually.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> like
the sov
towns in far east
that are frozen ghost
towns now. <<
this makes one hell of a
trip btw.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Did not emerge from asphale, about 15-20 feet away from asphalt. Crew
that exploded pipe was doing some shit
to prep
the site for an old folks home.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, my zimbabwe is prolly less zimbabwe
than yours.
BingoBoingo: You'd be surprised where
they pipe gas here
BingoBoingo: So, I drove by well over a million dollars in ruined construction equipment
this morning.
mircea_popescu: hanbot no, she physically mans
the kiosk. like
the job someone would be normally hired
to do, and get a wage.
mircea_popescu: much like byzantine peasant couldn't construct
the orthodox delusion ; much like alf
teh bee dog can't construct washington.
hanbot: i
thought it's some sort of leave yer shit in our kiosk and we'll sell it sorta deal
mircea_popescu: the only
thing she can't do is, construct
the mental infrastructure of pretense she subscribes
to.
hanbot: the initiative and work involved in
the actual sales is rarely something an old woman can accomplish
hanbot: particularly when old age enters into
this.
hanbot: mircea_popescu it's possible something like
that is
the cheaper option for a certain sort of person in a certain sort of context
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i'm in awe of what ustardia can do
to people. << PUBLISHING!!!
mircea_popescu: these people are, basically, very dedicated cultists.
they WANT a CERTAIN SOMETHING
to be how
things work. and will disregard and ignore anything and everything else. because
they're not, fundamentally, opressed.
they're, fundamentally, nazis.
mircea_popescu: as evidenced
to me and for my needs by
the plain fact
that even when
the actual rational explanation is no longer applicable,
mircea_popescu: which is
the problem here. even when it works,
the "appstore" didn't work for
the rational reason, but for
the irrational one.
mircea_popescu: da fuck, most buskers make more
than her by a fat margin.
mircea_popescu: and ftr,
the woman would make 10x
to 100x more selling on street.
mircea_popescu: a similar cognitive process would be
to say : a) i don't fuck bricks ; b) another exists ; c)
therefore, another fucks bricks.
mircea_popescu: this isn't a point,
this is a psychogenic bit of nonsense.
mircea_popescu: so... no. no folks. no anything. just a snake of pressed shit eating its
tail and wondering why
the process is lossy.
mircea_popescu: you
think
the situation is peculiar
to gold ? it is not.
mircea_popescu: it's mortgaged, hypotecated, securitized, sold, bought and
transfered. nothing belongs
to anyone or anything.
mircea_popescu: nothing you can possibly
touch in a day of
trying has an owner. nothing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no i know
the history of how it ended up in. i'm just saying, it really is pretty stupid, useless and wtf already.
mircea_popescu: dude... what happened
to full price for
the stock + full wage for me selling it + benefits.
