mircea_popescu: yes, but the key to communication, which is what you do when you try to engage others, is that you step outside of what you have need for, and speak of something ~they~ can relate to.
mircea_popescu: and you imagine complicated injustice is better than just a shrug and a pat on the ass ?
mircea_popescu: it's perfectly possible google just fixed it on their own. and now you want phf to decide this somehow ? fucking how ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, your design is dysfunctional in that (even allowing for it modelling somewhat close to reality, which i have no faith it does) suppose today someone gives you a working pill, and june 27th google patches the hole. and the someone says "dood, i have nfi, i honestly didn't tell anyone anything".
mircea_popescu: well, say they were 500 heh ? SINCE IT WAS YOUR NUMBER
mircea_popescu: anyway, the value here is "lol @google", not "oh, ima sell 500 laptops for 0.01 btc profit per".
mircea_popescu: but back to it : i see the value in taking a magic marker to the outside track of google's "drm". i do not see the value in your hairebrained scheme to make a business out of it.
mircea_popescu: kim kardashian also routinely changes hands for price of ~lawnmower ; doesn't mean she's any good. they just like having their picture taken with her.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the same money put in bitcoin went from $2 to whatever the fuck.
mircea_popescu: i think you conflate economics and coolness. for one thing, an original trinitron bought the year sony came out with them was like 5k ? or some shit like that. for the other thing, 1k from 1988 is like 10-15k today. so... i don't see the $100k price tag that'd merely cover inflation.
mircea_popescu: well like it or not, it's old crap. the thinkpad sitting sadly on a chair is...like 2gb ram and a fucking pentium
mircea_popescu: i bet you i could, if i wanted to. there's plenty of old crap here.
mircea_popescu: i think i have one right here. from ~period. it's a workhorse, sure, and it paid for itself many times over, but...
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in general. but converting the general to practically actionable bits is usually the challenge.
mircea_popescu: by now they cost more in storage than they cost to acquire, even though patriotic republicans' have been eating the cost for us.
mircea_popescu: so far it's not altogether clear what specifically other dood's to do.
mircea_popescu: gotta pick what you pick ; and as per the common sense notion, if your job isn't a good fit for any tool, your job's not a well defined job.
mircea_popescu: note however that practice is alligned : when you protested (essentially) that the tits thing is being exam-took, i ignored it, specifically because... it was specified!
mircea_popescu: but i'm not doing it, am i ? i dunno how i'd do it ; i'm also not against exercising the doing it muscle, but commetary is part and parcel of the exercising.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-13#1824464 << in perhaps better formulation, the very point of having arbiter is so as to avoid exam taking ; the whole point of having "written contract" (import here pizarro's coc, import here the "opposable instrument" thread with trinque, etc) is to permit exam taking. these are contrary design constraints.
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, fwi, "No word from oil insiders on interest in the shambling cryptographic provenance solutions still in search of a problem to solve and customers to buy it; but this has not deterred Team Cockchain ("Smokin' it!" ™®) from announcing eleventeen different projects to disrupt this massive industry from its mother's basement." makes 0 sense to me.
mircea_popescu: "oh it dun do anything, it's just oxigen" "sure. until the day it does something, then you'll really see a show"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: wtf is this world coming to. i just vented a few m3 into the biodiversidad
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, in between the tank and the valve, fucking bullshit hecho en mexico nonsense.
mircea_popescu: holy shit oxigen line punctured. aite, ima be back in a few, this just became a hazardous environment o.O
mircea_popescu: imo it's a way better story if it goes "and then google patched with bated breath WITHIN MINUTES"
mircea_popescu: your idea is that "what if i don't have enough time to get to the store after contest is declared" ?
mircea_popescu: i don't get it, and if your model is correct, secret waits a month thereby ? what's in a month ?
mircea_popescu: you'll end up having to pay like 5 btc for the work involved in this arbitering lol.
mircea_popescu: "shows to signs" is not a computable string for the phf-machine.
mircea_popescu: i can't imagine we'll have such a deluge of these the clerical work keeping track is worh the hassle
mircea_popescu: cnomad, aite, give it a few mins then, maybe not up to date yet
mircea_popescu: !!rate cnomad 1 dood either ran off with my boards or else produced an image of some sort ; we don't know the future yet
mircea_popescu: cnomad, imagine i shipped you some boards, what difference does it make.
mircea_popescu: principally it'll yield an opportunity for you to be reconized or how shall we put it.
mircea_popescu: so let him get off the girl and get to his computert later.
mircea_popescu: cnomad, how about you get a key registered, i send you some bitcoin dust, you order yourself a coupla chromebooks and "imagine it for us".
mircea_popescu: sure. but here no need for that, we're trying to match the chip.
mircea_popescu: make 100 shots if you have to, just learn how to use the damned sony and get a proper fixed shot
mircea_popescu: ideally 5k px or w/e you can swing. very large very clear.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, can you publish a very large pic of the chip (and margins) only ?
mircea_popescu: could just put a sane kbd driver in there and whatnot. i don;'t even fucking want google's kbd driver, they can shove it.
mircea_popescu: douchebag, cr50 is, by all appearances, an arm cortex fpga
