mircea_popescu: it is just about absolutely clear for me
that bitcoin, just like any other
technology
to date, brings about absolutely no betterment for
the common man.
mircea_popescu: i even got
the
timing almost right. half month precision over 3 years in bitcoin is pretty impressive.
mircea_popescu: 2nd one. not exactly news,
this, is it ? was on
the books for 3 years.
mircea_popescu: ideally
trb will at
that
time be ready
to propose one of its own.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform by
the looks of it, roughly around july
there will be an open competition of ~myriad forks on
the market.
mircea_popescu: some idiot somewhere last year looked at whatever
the fuck
they look at and came
to
the conclusion
that "we'll win
this one apple - style, vc and software plox!"
mircea_popescu: mno,
they don't watch anything, just keep humming
this
tune in
their head. which is perfectly fine and utterly uninteresting.
mircea_popescu: well, if
they had been following power
they'd be sending
their irs receipts
to me rather
than obama.
mircea_popescu: except i couldn't care less about
the derps. what, you
think
they're people or something ?
mircea_popescu: oh herp derp we are miners and making conferences ? fucking death warrant you've signed
there boys.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin as it currently stands is a very iffy proposition. it ~absolutely~ requires
the bricking of current miners
to have a chance, and major protocol rewrites.
gribble: Bitfinex BTCUSD

mircea_popescu: eh
they have nfi what
they're doing. classic is essentially a social media campaign.
mircea_popescu: rather low hanging fruit,
that sort of inept claim. classic is about as production ready as windows 7.
mircea_popescu: jurov feel free
to fuzz, crashing it every which way will make a somewhat lulzy qntra piece
jurov: "Bitcoin Classic is ready and being run in production
today by a number of bitcoin companies. Bitcoin Core has produced no such option
that is production ready, and seems committed
to putting out sub-optimal solutions
that I described above."
mircea_popescu: just like should we look for places
to poison mice, we'll go by
the holes ; but should we look for a hero mice
to reward with a wheel of cheese - we won't notice
the holes.
mircea_popescu: obama joining from obama@whitehouse.org is in no better position
than random derp joining from anon@isis.ir
mircea_popescu: fuck
them, fiat states, who cares. "legal process" or w/e.
mircea_popescu: i'm offering 14 btc for
the arrest and conviction of
this particular redditard by isis
shinohai: But
this guy wants his Bitcoins arrested and convicted
the way
the sentence reads.
punkman: if anyone's selling 100eur notes for 50eur, I'll buy all of
them
shinohai: Even if I had a magical way
to recover said BTC
shinohai: I'll be damned if I help someone
that stores 28 Bitcoin in an online wallet
mircea_popescu: then
the same fucking idiots come by
to "comment" on shit i do. as if we're all people now or something, in
the same sense.
mircea_popescu: "i
think i'm mp
to offer bounties. what, i should have money ?"
mircea_popescu: "I am offering a 14 Bitcoin Bounty leading
to
the arrest, conviction, AND return of my 28 Bitcoins
that were stolen from me." << fancy
that idiocy.
mircea_popescu: shinohai plox
to offer short intro for redditard/other
tard links. i ended up looking at
that only
to see
that,
typical for
the mob, it's not any sort of bounty, but a conditional offer predicated on
the impossible.
shinohai: ;;later
tell BingoBoingo I couldn't come up with a lulzy enough filler for
that story so gonna pass it on
to whoever wants it.
mircea_popescu: the rumour goes countess diana_coman bathory bathes in virgins' blood
to maintain her youth etc.
jurov: asciilifeform: nice. maybe put
the gpg horrors on qntra or loperos?
mircea_popescu: pff, check it out, english spells it with h ? horripilated ?
tsk.
mircea_popescu: i recall
trying
this once before, yars ago, and not being quite as oripilated.
mircea_popescu: dude
the junk on your blog's unreadable. /me made
the mistake
to
try
to wade
through comments.
mircea_popescu: did he say, on
tv, "bitch you either eat out marylin or ima flay you alive and hang your disgusting carcass by
the south gate" ?
mircea_popescu: but he DIDNT. he pretended
that mudsickle of jackie is an actual woman.
mircea_popescu: it is when a man ridicules
the nuttery of singles marriage, openly, and doesn't entertain it, openly. it's some luxuries no us president ever had.
mircea_popescu: it is an institution. it is when a man is invited
to seat at a
table, and he explains
that "you will have
to seat five women, because i am not married - i am haremed."
mircea_popescu: norvig can, on
the basis of his achievements such as
they are, live a life his father would have
thought good enough for a blue colar laborer.
mircea_popescu: this is why
they gotta fucking come up with a "cultural war" about sitting in
the fucking bus.
mircea_popescu: which is why
they'll get moved
to dormitories in due
time.
mircea_popescu: why ~the fuck~ do you suppose
the koreans gotta do ever more inane absurd shit ? isn't being a korean bad enough ?
mircea_popescu: because he is, fundamentally, a woman, of
that miserable, medieval kind. you gotta beat her.
mircea_popescu: by NOT getting
t3, norvig
thinks EVEN MORE of
the imbecile system he's plugged into.
mircea_popescu: this is important. not for
the "good of
the people", as it is broadly misdirected - but for
the continued delusion of
the imbeciles in question.
mircea_popescu: anyway, "we own him now" "heh" "and
this is why we bought usernet archive,
too" "get lost" "why won't you
think we're cool!" "because you're old, and lame, and smell bad"
mircea_popescu: yeah yeah, and bullshit
textbook on ai
that leads nowhere.
adlai: fallacies are usable on false axioms,
too
