jurov: such
as.. guessing the right email addresses when sending transfer requests?
jurov: Well,
as it turns out, Bangladesh doesn't agree that the Fed isn't ultimately culpable. "We kept money with the Federal Reserve Bank and irregularities must be with the people who handle the funds there," Finance Minister Abul Maal Abdul Muhith said on Wednesday.
jurov: he would surely not misspell "foundation"
as "fandation"

nubbins`: ^ actually asciilifeform a simple piezo & some leads might provide some clues
as to the source
BingoBoingo very thankful in this moment he prefers AM radio for listening to
as this avoids very expensive path to financial damnation.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> kakobrekla:
as far
as im concerned if it had ONE moving part, it is rubbish. << Aha, this goes to the power tool dilemma where unless paying out the ass everything is made by TTI in china and it is a competition between which TTI reseller do you trust most to preserve their battery platform. Not directly connected to this utterance of yours, but for some reason this is the one brian in the head clicked the thread t
nubbins`: yeah,
as soon
as i said, i figured that much muck wouldn't fly
assbot: Logged on 10-03-2016 21:30:24; asciilifeform: i suggest that the craft of producing mircea_popescu henceforth be referred to
as momotronics.
assbot: Logged on 10-03-2016 23:09:57; mircea_popescu: so importantly - understand that it's in no sense a matter of 'stop being you, be somebody else'. anyone else would confront the same exact problem,, which is to say that this is not able to stand on its own. would work superbly

☟︎ mircea_popescu: this is a large part of the problem. there's a hidden barrier to entry here, that is the "cost to enter wot". ie,
as a manager of x item, i MAY consider dealing wioth nobody. but not over anything.
mircea_popescu: you have to understand, this is an actual job, exactly
as respectable
as whore.
mircea_popescu: my experience, on the contrary - whenever mp
as much
as vaguely disliked a world, that world caught on fire by itself and cut off its own head.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i believe it. "advertising" works
as well
as make-up.
mircea_popescu: this sort of thing readily informs me
as to your views re, say, 0day mkt.
mircea_popescu: which i suppose is
as good an explanation
as any

assbot: Logged on 10-03-2016 20:29:36; funkenstein_: they pick and choose what TX to include in a block they mine
as always
mircea_popescu: being an us style "independent" has about
as much to do with independence
as being a us style "liberal" has to do with liberalism ; or
as much
as the 6th grader's idea of "a lothario" has to do with fucking, partying and generally the dyonyssian world.
funkenstein_: thestringpuller, imho
as long
as grant-writers pull the wool over the eyes of the grantors, alchemy continues
funkenstein_: asciilifeform, so if I would like to make/rebase a patch.. i should take the longest chain I have seen
as the base of the diff?
PeterL: <asciilifeform> the kitchen, regardless of what ants may think, was NOT built
as an ant restaurant. << I dun get it, how does miners not including your txn equate to raiding the kitchen?
funkenstein_: they pick and choose what TX to include in a block they mine
as always
☟︎ PeterL: counts
as a soft fork?
mircea_popescu: all the things that there are can in principle be understood, or
as the old jew said (in fiddler on the roof) - there is a blessing for everything.
danielpbarron: asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: i hauled it 3km in 2014 with own hands and spent more on ~petrol~. << gas was twice
as expensive then
as it is now
mircea_popescu: i can readily see a definition of freedom
as "one has enough resources to protect himself from the outside world". this definition is impractical, however, belonging to the sphere chicken world.
mircea_popescu: it goes, for me, in the same pile
as xmas cardano, phuctor two weeks ago, and wahtever the fuck her name was,
mircea_popescu: yes there are some cases where it has redistributed some dollars. in this sense, the numbers racket
as practiced between the same poor black marginals 50 years ago also "worked".
assbot: Logged on 10-03-2016 13:11:00; asciilifeform: 'crowdfundings',
as i understand, have worked for mass crapolade
mircea_popescu: things are happening with or without permission,
as a general rule. either you're prepared for the possible outcomes, or not.
assbot: Logged on 10-03-2016 12:57:10; *: asciilifeform doesn't expect to get to eat lsd in his natural lifespam, just
as doesn't expect a real tailored suit or to sail on a dirigible
mircea_popescu: so in this sense, "trb
as is only" opens us up to being forced, later on, to pick among the idiots.
mircea_popescu: there is a very specific danger which you perhaps are not seeing. if indeed we continu with trb
as is, and if indeed 3) happens,
as these two share pow and we don't control .7 or so exahash we become extremelty vulnerable. recall the fate of altcoin ?
mircea_popescu: so in this sense, your objections
as stated don't cut anything.
mircea_popescu: in any case : while a hierarchy could perhaps be constructed in the "not in wot" pile,
as you propose or otherwise,
mircea_popescu: 1 is, the perfect bitcoin. which, logically, would NOT conserve coinbases.
as such, it has no meaningful humantime continuity with the present Bitcoin, and so it can be done at any point etc.
thestringpuller: Take Source for instance. You open up hammer, import your geometry (
as a map), press play and Half Life loads with your assets.
jurov: i was thinking about it
as potential learning practice for trb... but such things would make alf shit girder beams
nubbins`: danielpbarron i did several parcels of work for the ministry of games, in paid official capacity
as well
as volunteer/unofficial capacity.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: "Pederasty is an ancient Greek form of interaction in which members of the same sex would partake in the pleasures of an intellectual and/or sexual relationship
as part of a socially acceptable ancient custom " << uh ok...
danielpbarron: still had a little left for my great purge when i burned the contents of my drug box
as well
as some eastern philosophy texts and my karate uniform
shinohai:
As I told mod6 I do not advocate surrender myself :/
shinohai: I will use trb
