asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-03-2016#1435837 << student exercise - prove that the 10 (usa) or 20 (eu) pogo garland will necessarily explode if they all enter cpu halt mode. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think his plan to fight some derps doing black magic is not to squarely ignore them, but to DO THINGS to anti-magic their magic.
asciilifeform: this not only was not a problem, but arguably helped me to avoid becoming embroiled with various folks who were up to no good
jurov: it's simple, he transcended the slavery by referring to himself by his wot nick

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo et al : making up new name for yerself every morning is crummy tradecraft.
mircea_popescu: i suspect through a massive dose of not giving a shit.
jurov: was a while to get used to it. i wonder how was BingoBoingo keeping track of his nickname when it was different every time
asciilifeform: (and when it doesn't, result has little to do with finding of fact and much to do with game-theoretical game of 'chicken')
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform only in us courts that got very lazy meanwhile.
mircea_popescu: just like everything else pre technology.
asciilifeform: the 'prima facie' thing usually carries, afaik.
assbot: Logged on 18-03-2016 14:43:36; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-03-2016#1435825 << you ever saw someone do the verify thing with old style signatures ?
mircea_popescu: well then not terribly off.
jurov: yes it's that
BingoBoingo: Also the consonants have to be able to survive a prnounced slur
jurov: some germans insist to call me "georg" even without any substances involved. the original is apparently too hard
mircea_popescu: at least if they had the fucking decency to be funny about it, lord derp and hurrserl and shit. but no, "chocolate".
BingoBoingo: two syllables is too many
BingoBoingo: But when you drink in the manner I am inclined to you gotta have something you can pronounce
mircea_popescu: "wait, THAT IS YOUR REAL NAME?!?!?!" "yeah".
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i don't use aliases even in promiscuity. everyone's "vampyre lord" and "celeste" and what the fuck not, i'm mircea popescu
mircea_popescu: ha. don't you need a moustache to legally wear that name ?
mircea_popescu: so what's his mates call him ? tla ?
BingoBoingo always though NOT using aliases at the bar was inviting unnecessary risk
PeterL: Me nephew has to say his name several times before any new acquaintances get it, my brother named him Tlazohtlalia
mircea_popescu: "honey, if you can say that outloud you're not drunk enough."
BingoBoingo: But Back when I did the bar thing I'd use different names at each bar generally
mircea_popescu: PeterL i knew a guy who would introduce himself to half drunk british roses as "hi, my name's pizda ma-tii!"
BingoBoingo: <PeterL> when you meet a girl at the bar, do you introduce yourself "Hi, I'm BingoBoingo"? << It's an occasion to use the legacy identfier
gribble: Your name is TOBY! What's your name? - YouTube: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CpJpGF8lS8>; Whats your Name "Kunta Kinte" - YouTube: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMPFQo5V-lA>; Kunta Kinte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunta_Kinte>
BingoBoingo: ;;google "your name is toby"
PeterL: when you meet a girl at the bar, do you introduce yourself "Hi, I'm BingoBoingo"?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you know he has a point tho, just because someone stole or didn't stole it, what's that to you ?
BingoBoingo: That my parents gave me and the fiat gang stole the title to
danielpbarron: is it not the name your parents gave you/
danielpbarron: well i'd rather not list your blog at all if the requirement is to not use your name
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Sure, as a legacy thing
danielpbarron: you know your name is on the listing agreement for qntra right?
mircea_popescu: (and yes in that month i can do the fucking rsa exponentiation on paper three times over.) ☟︎
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Also pls to not link my blog as my slave name.
mircea_popescu: (for the curious, the way private sealed writs work in fiat court is, the presumed author is confronted with them. if he accepts them all is fine, if however he repudiates them the circus starts, because the case forks into a sub-case about whether the item is genuine or not, gotta have witnesses as to the writ, experts as to the writ, you can be there a month with the piece of paper.)
mircea_popescu: i had the pleasure of a coupla of such nonsense back in the day.
danielpbarron: Matthew 7:13 "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
assbot: Logged on 18-03-2016 12:20:36; asciilifeform: also i would like to watch mp or anyone actually ~do~ the 'hand verify' thing.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-03-2016#1435825 << you ever saw someone do the verify thing with old style signatures ? ☝︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: eternity is a long time
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> danielpbarron and what if they can't fit down the chute ? << Plop them on top of a chute and wait for the fold mold to liquefy them
mircea_popescu: i always thought "the path to destruction is broad" just gave measure of the argot prescience of the king james bible and it really means "the path to destruction is woman".
PeterL: mircea_popescu then slice them into smaller pieces?
danielpbarron: the path to destruction is broad
danielpbarron: shows lack of self-control which The Bible requires of the saved
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: If remixing things might as well escalate its cardinality
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron and what if they can't fit down the chute ?
danielpbarron: BingoBoingo, indeed obesity leads to hell
PeterL: BingoBoingo I think you nailed it, no more argument needed to vilify obeasts
mircea_popescu: i must say i'm pretty impressed with this darkcoin thing and with the chinese govt generally. a) no idiotic derpage a la "bitlicense" ; b) actually prosecute scammers.
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Or do I need a different species of scholarship for that
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Speaking of this topic, can you spin up a justification of Obesity being a Cardinal sin as if Man is created in God's image defiling oneself with obesity is akin to defiling God?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well If I really am a sunni I gotta take from the Jews and the Christians, because that's how history works
mircea_popescu: methinks this may make you a jew.
mircea_popescu: aite then.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Until I finish a religious tract Imma just treat satisfying the will of the gods as alternately a question of conduct and business
assbot: Logged on 12-08-2014 02:20:21; TimSwanson: That's not how debates work
mircea_popescu: before we go back to http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-08-2014#792159 ☝︎
BingoBoingo: solrodar: I'm not necessarily suggesting that
solrodar: BingoBoingo: indeed it is complex, and so if bettors have to take a haircut because mircea_popescu is senior, then that's fine, as long as there's a justification for it
mircea_popescu: how to act correctly (ethics) ; how to satisfy the will of gods (morals) ; how to run your business (equity).
BingoBoingo: morality is the just conduct of business
mircea_popescu: lol davout while i'm the first friend of humor, or so i like to think, that two weeks tm can't stand there. it can readily be interpreted to mean forever, and that just can't be. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: solrodar: I'm suggesting it as a rabbit hole to read moar on to understand how complex the matter of claims is, not strictly legally but morally
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo is this getting people to read up on the complex topic of patrimonial dispositions or prior art ?
solrodar: BingoBoingo: who are you suggesting has one in this case?
mircea_popescu: why not have discretion to also determine the count of bitcoin in existence, while at it.
BingoBoingo: solrodar: Are you familiar with the "mechanics lien"
solrodar: well, if the receiver has discretion to reject claims then he also should have discretion to determine the seniority of claims
mircea_popescu: never, that.
mircea_popescu: and yes, I don't intend to follow fiat practice in THIS particular respect : that it's always willing to add complexity for the sake of satisfying fee-fees.
mircea_popescu: they're not required by the model, and there's no indication they add justifiable complexity ; not to mention they're not even defined, or by all appearances definable.
mircea_popescu: solrodar i am not entertaining your concepts of "non-urgent", and so i won't be showing anything about them.
mircea_popescu: but ftr it's slowly dawning on me just how god damned ~HARD~ it is to speak in the forum. all sorts of separations, between descriptive and prescriptive, between time ; between causes and effects, between roles and hierarchies... jesus god how does anyone even keep it straight.
solrodar: or why all suppliers are necessarily in the same class
solrodar: because you still haven't shown why a non-urgent supplier should take priority over a customer
mircea_popescu: "if you didn't need to pay him as a supplier, fuck him". how's the receiver to justify this "downgrade" ?
solrodar: considered yes, and possibly then downgraded to be at the same level as bettors?
