to channel
assbot: Logged on 01-03-2016 13:54:05; mircea_popescu: o brother. i've been
trying
to give servers and stuff
to
the freenode shitheads for YEARS
assbot: Um, shouldn't you be with your own
tribe or somethin'?
phf: ben_vulpes: i don't ever
touch dependencies, so 40s for a full rebuilt
assbot: Logged on 01-03-2016 13:42:04; assbot: Logged on 01-03-2016 06:02:07; ben_vulpes: flycheck just deleted
the contents of an entire buffer
mircea_popescu: the
thing anon establishment ho fails
to mention, however, is
that S&P 500 is not in any sense a
thing.
mircea_popescu: trump didn't actually beat inflation, let alone
the s&p.
thestringpuller: so classic got 33 blocks out of last 1000. it's interesting seeing
the derps derpin'
mircea_popescu: but
then again, i am youthful and inexperienced. also was not in bed with woman and her infant child.
assbot: Logged on 01-03-2016 09:15:43; ben_vulpes: probably more crowded
than anything mircea_popescu engages in willingly, and i don't even like it.
jurov: SuchWow: what about
the code your ass runs on? no
trust system needed?
SuchWow: then maybe
there is no need for an enforceable
trust system before one can speak ;)
jurov: and actually,
this chan isn't much about
trading anymore
SuchWow: i will consider spending more
time here, etc
trinque: guy's so
tired he's speaking klingon
SuchWow: if i ever return
to
trading
mircea_popescu: let's just say
that being able
to see opens new dimensions
to your life you never could see before.
SuchWow: yet i do once in awhile read
the chat here just for fun
SuchWow: Nothing I do in
this chan requires "trust" as far as I can see
SuchWow: it's not like i ever
talk lol
SuchWow: anyhow, all i wanted
to say was: [09:22:08] <SuchWow> anyhow i'm gonna drift off for now [09:22:23] <SuchWow>
thanks for
the good convo, be well sir (and all)
SuchWow: ok fine what do i have
to do
SuchWow: what is
the peewee word of
the day lol
SuchWow: it's all a sham, but it's amazing how long
they've been able
to prop it up and convince
the vast majority of everyone
to believe in it
SuchWow: i've seen
the page listing all
the amazing proof of concept contracts/programs
SuchWow: do people even consider eth
to be a beta
SuchWow: except
that it seems
to be maintaining
the illusion longer
mircea_popescu: which is fine and good - by now it's obvious it's cheaper
to kill it on
technical grounds rather
than financial seeing how nsa can print money but can't really hire anyone but indians and idiots for
the life of it.
SuchWow: and
then suddenly it's a currency and it starts acting like dogecoin, value/price-wise
SuchWow: i remember
them fundraising etc
mircea_popescu: then i went into
them financially and
they actually burned a few millions propping it up, and
that pretty much brings us
to
the present day.
☟︎ SuchWow: now
that's
the most interesting
tl;dr i've read yet
mircea_popescu: well, basically
the story of eth is, "what if we made a b-a, except not on irc but in a spare closet at a usg-sponsored university, and we
tried
to get idiot kids on reddit excited and inept javascript developers contributing code and MAKE A BETTER BITCOIN in
the sense
that it'll suck where bitcoin hurts us."
SuchWow: (but of course had zero invested due
to no free
time)
SuchWow: has been a wild ride, and i called a lot of
the movement correctly
SuchWow: i certainly started watching
that chart for fun
tho, as i always do for btc/ltc/doge, a few months back
SuchWow: (i am incredibly not well versed in eth
tho admittedly, just
the snips i hear here and
there weekly on various chats/forums)
mircea_popescu: well, if it did or if it didn't, it's not like
the case of ethereum in any sense.
SuchWow: (just hypothetical by means of same
token)
SuchWow: did
the gov't have anything
to do with creation of btc?
mircea_popescu: but yes, an inkling of
trust necessarily must stem out of outside
the wot.
SuchWow: how did we get back
to politics lol
mircea_popescu: entertainment and
trust are orthogonal matters SuchWow
mircea_popescu: i can't say i'm not flattered nsa's
trying
their idea of "the mp approach", but in
the famed words of knight, "get
the fuck off
the horse!"
SuchWow: mircea_popescu: you're
talking about eth, but saying not btc?
SuchWow: if nothing else, proving
that
trust/relationship can be established even without use of ratings bot lol
mircea_popescu: tis much less of a hypotetical,
tis a factual. look into
the structure backing it if you're bored.
SuchWow: as i said, i enjoy our bi-yearly
talks lol
SuchWow: same hypothetical said about btc many
times also
tho
assbot: Logged on 01-03-2016 09:08:51; ben_vulpes: i wonder how
the conversation drifted from parenting
to shillcoins
assbot: Logged on 01-03-2016 09:06:04; SuchWow: Just out of curiosity, what do you guys
think about ethereum, meaning
this chan in general
SuchWow: thus enforcing
the illusion
that we are all really choosing
the outcome
SuchWow: buy giving sanders more support
than perot, nader, and paul cpombined
SuchWow: which is fine, as she is
the only candidate giving us
the highest probability of continued stability
mircea_popescu: see
there's
this
thing where
they "prepare" future candidates. sanders may well get 2020.
SuchWow: i
think
the whole damn circus is just a scripted mess
to get hillary in
SuchWow: and i
think sanders won't be 'permitted' 'able'
to win
SuchWow: it's either
trump v sanders, or v hillary
mircea_popescu: i didn't even bet, myself. but i
think it's pretty much on
the money.
assbot: BitBet - Donald
Trump gets Republican Nomination :: 137.71 B (62%) on Yes, 83.19 B (38%) on No | closing in 1 month 1 week| weight: 20`618 (100`000
to 1) ... (
http://bit.ly/1KAXLHg )
SuchWow: you
think a lot, more
than me even
SuchWow: mircea_popescu: what do you
think about
the pres candidates
SuchWow: it is kinda brilliant, and
the overall atmosphere is much better in many ways
assbot: Logged on 01-03-2016 09:04:23; cazalla: i get more cuddles and kisses, but he only
turns
the
tears on if mum leaves, not when dad goes out, doesn't seem
to care as much
SuchWow: the crowd
they are now attracting just gladly pays
SuchWow: but nobodyu is doing
that anymore
SuchWow: i went down
to
the bar and got 2 heiniekens was liek $15
SuchWow: now
they're just like 'fuck it, rape
them on services and amenities and drinks'
SuchWow: it's all
the *other* charges
that are very
targetted and new
mircea_popescu: i mean
there's some REALLY seedy places here, "hotel familiar" etc, literal hookers and bums,
SuchWow: i'm in
the wrong business lol
assbot: Logged on 01-03-2016 09:02:12; ben_vulpes:
there's only so much damage
the little fuckling can do in 485 ft2
☟︎ SuchWow: on literally everything in
the city
SuchWow: and
the recently increased across
the board prices
SuchWow: and it's just no logner
the focus
SuchWow: it's all still
there, people are doing it
