mircea_popescu: not a comment on
the language - a comment on
the mentality. "oh
this box is not good". fine. "oh
this other box is not yet ready". fine. whatever all
this may mean in
the ideal world of ideals, what it means in practice is
that - never happened.
mircea_popescu: this has been a perfect case of
typically lispian self-sabotage, for
the record.
shinohai: I guess
the point being she is adamant
that fluid is
the reason she is fat, and not
the 28 BigMacs she consumes for lunch daily.
mircea_popescu: retardation belongs
to no-one, even if it is always and perpetually
the exact same.
mircea_popescu: you know, if you meet
two retarded
teenagers cca 2004, it doesn't mean "britni is everywhere".
mircea_popescu: shinohai i don't get it, person should go
through 1-200ish gallons of water a year, every year. what's
the problem
there ?
mircea_popescu: see,
this is exactly what i'm asking him : if you should be allowed
to continue in
this childhood delusion :)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo should i do a small piece on argentina or really
too far off scope ?
mircea_popescu: you should start wearing round glasses and a pickaxe hole in
the
temple already.
mircea_popescu: lol are you subverting
the kolhoz for counter-party activities ?
mircea_popescu: depending on
the exact definition of "human body parts" you use, i will grant
that
this is actually
the case.
mircea_popescu: in other news, according
to reddit i am by far
the bitcoiner most likely
to have a collection of human body parts in my fridge.
mircea_popescu: skate/stake/steak/on
the
take etc bla bla, enough rhymes in
there for a full rap album.
mircea_popescu: "we've had some no such expenses
this month somehow related
to
the bitcoin protocol of
the future's many advantages which can not be specified for guess why reasons."
jurov: and
there is likely also no-such-dept. involved
jurov: or actually... as
the whole
thing was about bitcoin protocol enforcement, law dept would be prolly best choice.
jurov: i believe it should be budgeted
to security or R&D dept... who ever seen marketing monkeys
to meddle with
technology so
PeterL: And is
that going
to be classified under "advertising expenses" since it got
the bitbet name out in a bunch of media?
PeterL: With bitbet doublesending
the Jeb Bush bet, are
they going
to have
to
take out a bridge loan from MPIF again?
davout: tbh i don't know, what i know is
that
there won't be any bullshit like "oh btw, withdrawals on chain [A|B] are deprecated"
kakobrekla: you will have
two separate
trading markets ?
kakobrekla: davout if
the fork (say 'classic') happens, is paymium expected
to stay on
the current blocks ?
thestringpuller: i remember when MP exposed
them as a scam way back in 2012
davout: "A weird exchange nobody really
trades on, Orderbook.net, has run into some
trouble with
the CFTC."
davout: reddit dude sums it up nicely "Even
though every contract has a counterpart,
think of whole
thing conceptually as being somewhat pooled with no specific counterparty and
the winning
traders jointly as bagholders of last resort."
mircea_popescu: heh. also
this sounds exactly like icbit / bitfinex. same people ?
davout: it's
their documentation
davout: kindof reads
to me like "ohai, we're offering x100 leverage, but because we can't be sure
to liquidate positions properly, we spread losses on everyone who actually made a profit"
mircea_popescu: oil!"
to, finally, "flyover country". not entirely sure who'd be
the indicated canon on
the
topic. as everything else
to do with culture, starting with
the great "american" novel and ending with
the great "american" dictionary,
the us has failed
to produce usable works. maybe one day a gibbon is born in kenya or wherever and writes its history.

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-02-2016#1414960 << Any suggested reading on
this
topic? << mid 1800s, galveston was
the world's cotton center. by
the 1900s, dallas had overtaken it as
the center of
texas. lots of discussion of
this change
that's emblematic from a more general shift from "midwest = great american desert"
to "we built some pumps and whatnot, let's farm and raise cattle"
to "holy shit

trinque: asciilifeform │
this whole
thing is 'ukranian space program' - 'we'll fly
to
the sun! at night!' << bahahaha dear god my sides
felipelalli: ben_vulpes, but I didn't understand
the relation.
felipelalli: ben_vulpes, yes, I have my photo in
there.

BingoBoingo: This is becoming a problem even for me, did I write
that
thing I just came across or not
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> ~the~ iq
test. << "variant
thought" and iq are at best orthogonal.
cazalla: i dunno how you stomach it BingoBoingo, one of your fold mold comments on /r/bitcoin i
think it was made me gag
BingoBoingo: Yes, I mean
the actual in
the wild phenomenon
BingoBoingo: Oh no, I mean enough people have keys for many brainwallets so anytime
they recieve coins it is off
to
the races for at least
tens of scrapers
BingoBoingo: Who can spend inputs first when
they arrive
punkman: imgur videos are
the worst with noscript. I click+delete
the flash placeholder, allow
the mp4, it reloads,
then I allow
the webm and maybe it start playing
mircea_popescu: i'll gladly
take
the credit if it saves you
the
time
to search for sauce.
punkman: is
this a bastardized mp quote? can't recall
the source
punkman: I
try
to keep in mind: "network might be down for a year, can you live with
that"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform somethinglike
that. given
that his guide announces itself as "opportunistic smalltimer defense", it's not necessarily wrong.
mircea_popescu: basically,
the most charitable read of
the
thing i can come up with is, "if you find your own wallet unable
to
transact -
try move
the privkey
to a webwallet, maybe it works
there".
punkman: pete_dushenski: I read
the blog post, didn't make sense
pete_dushenski: one
that seems
to get
tx included in blocks, i might add
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu:
then user is fucked because he's now shared privkeys and ~still~ has no way of
transacting lol
punkman: where
the hell does bc.info come in and why
mircea_popescu: well... what happens if
the
tx is not included in a block ?
