mircea_popescu: JorgePasada well there's no economics at the individual level
mircea_popescu: that's the entire point there, to push economy from its current state of shamanism and alchemy to actual science.
mircea_popescu: its niot like the patient "hath brought pox upon himself, for his sins" or anything.
mircea_popescu: medicine, the actual kind, was born once people finally realised intent don't enter into it,
mircea_popescu: the notion that intent is economically relevant is in no way different from proposing it be medically relevant
mircea_popescu: JorgePasada useful, if you want ot marry them. not economically .
mircea_popescu: circular fucking reasoning at its best. talking to your average schmuck on any topic reduces to doing marriage counselling with idiots, for free.
mircea_popescu: GS: words against him are isolating? what about the words he said?"
mircea_popescu: "BP: discrimination is to say that something is apart from other things. The words and actions against him are isolating, hence discriminatory
mircea_popescu: "if being rich doesn’t buy you freedom of speech, you’re rich in the wrong place and at the wrong time." << not bad.
mircea_popescu: "makes little difference to the tree which way the wind blows. all that matters is how strongly" sorta thing
mircea_popescu: i have no investment in your emotional investment. consequently, whether you wish or fear is all the same to me.it's merely the amplitude that interests, not the direction.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron: has anyone in here ever floated the idea of bringing the WoT to twitter? << i dun think i'd want that really. but maybe a gpg-based ircitter may be interesting.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: is there a firm love for sha256 as an algo? << 512.
mircea_popescu: my current thinking is that any approach to economy that's not agent-agnostic is nonsense.
mircea_popescu: same thing here, everyone with a keyboard figures he could be picking the music, why not.
mircea_popescu: look, you've seen kids play ? all the kids aspire to be the kid that picks what game they all play.
mircea_popescu: JorgePasada what do people know. they also say "abstinence only sex ed" and stuff.
mircea_popescu: mike_c indeed you were :p but i was saying he's an asshole, not clueless. which i do believe is what happened there, he started trying to be pr-asshole and ended up losing focus and just spilling.
mircea_popescu: incidentally : bitcoin's constant dfif growth is a major driver of inflation (more coins / unit time than designed = inflation), and that acts as a price depressant.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, there's exactly one failure mode of a coin, and that is, no buy side.

mircea_popescu: remember that "Resilience" is just another way of saying "not giving a shit".
mircea_popescu: so in short, i don't think it's a bad idea if thats how you want to spend your time, but i do think it doesn't do much either way.

mircea_popescu: mike_c actually i think the variations in hashing are great. -2/3 isn't too impressive, and every al;tcoin goes through this scenario.
mircea_popescu: mike_c: outrageous viewpoints are more engaging! (see trilema) << what, the outrage is wholly user contributed.
mircea_popescu: yeah i c. as you perhaps guessed, i'm a log interpreter not compiler.
mircea_popescu: bounce:where was that piece about quantum-proofing bitcoin? it's apparently doable << dude srsly. quantum proofing is not doable.
mircea_popescu: i think i probably formed more llcs than anyone in bitcoin has had sex partners, and probably in more jurisdictions than these folks have travelled.
