mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> and generally i met these guys and like them as people, so would hope that any bad ideas can be squashed earlier than later << except that's not what they want. they want their stupidity to be empowered by incompetent management, exactly like brewster. which is why they worked for him rather than for me. the only thing they'd do differently, the ONLY thing, would be for it to "work" this time. by itsel
mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> they got about 80% done with varioud Neo projects and were never fully paid <<< unless some greenhorn makes the mistake of "buying it", in which case the 80% turns into... nothing at all.

mircea_popescu: amazon should pay for it, because this is so innovative and forward thinking anyway
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: davout: they're probably thinking they can just send a Raspberry Pi and an SSD up and it'll work <<< they shouldn't have to spring for a ssd.
mircea_popescu: speaking of cube sats : romania's first and so far only sat, a 10cm cube, was launched last year
mircea_popescu: im curious if they'll STILL pretend like "nobody is pointing and laughing at the naked emperor".
mircea_popescu: Naphex presumably he's not about to run amok on a field shooting mice

mircea_popescu: "let's solve problems that don't exist through breaking the bitcoin protocol"
mircea_popescu: this latest hearn bullshit is even more laughable than gmaxwell's previous attack.
mircea_popescu: by proving that, for instance, kali-of-the-tits holds up houses
mircea_popescu: it can't be disproven by showing some houses standing.
mircea_popescu: the concept of load bearing can be illustrated by proving that the walls that stand actually have loadbearing ability in excess of the load

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves but functional is no argument in this discussion.

mircea_popescu: people spending a while trying to find a contradiction with reality and failing to do so.
mircea_popescu: that's wehy it';s so important, that theory : because it describes the limits of the possibility of being,
mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> all "sustainable" systems at least <<< all systems with moving parts.
mircea_popescu: HeySteve voice here is a wholly innovative, quite well designed thing. it has exactly nothing in common with "moderation" as used on the interwebs forums
mircea_popescu: blockchain would only add some further trust to the already existing states, is all.
mircea_popescu: <HeySteve> timestamping doesn't initially seem to add much to a WoT, but I'm starting to think the more data points the easier to spot Sibyls <<< wot has timestamps as it is.
mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> first it is not yet proven that all systems require an "mircean" economy, though i suspect they do << all systems contain one, whether aware or not, i'd say.
mircea_popescu: <HeySteve> I'm still stuck on this Sybil thing :) if you identify a puppet troupe, is there a mechanism to neutralise it beyond information-sharing? << no, by definition.

mircea_popescu: bounce i wouldn't trust a tempest-proof case rated as such by a us institution and/or manufactured by a us corp
mircea_popescu: TestingUnoDosTre: how do you gage memory recall? << i'll tell you how. write 10k articles on your blog, then see if you can recall "where x was" when people ask.
mircea_popescu: artifexd: To be really useful though, it should be run on your own server. << unless you actually lock the thing in a cage, it's not any safer on some server you own or on some server google owns.
mircea_popescu: TestingUnoDosTre: by the way, I'm really disappointed how bitbet posts latest bets to the front page. I sniped this coinlab bet from a few months , and someone just followed me << now you understand our evil.
