punkman: probably
typo, like
the qntra posts
that
turn billions
to millions, but in reverse
BingoBoingo: It just seems very Best Korean
to focus on
the entertainment industry and not... literally anything else.
mircea_popescu: actually a sort of commedia could be made where a fake bitcoin internet group attacks
the hollywood fake hospital
they use in films, and encrypts
their made up records
to be recovered upon payment of large sum in scamcoin.
BingoBoingo: Well, it's hollywood. Could be
those Best Koreans again...
assbot: Logged on 14-02-2016 05:43:45; ben_vulpes: i'm frustrated by having been
taught a myriad of languages (to retard-level competence only), but NEVER LATIN
mircea_popescu: (incidentally
the fucking point of myelin is
to not conduct. it's
the dielectric in
the arrangement.)
ben_vulpes: every day i'm closer
to dying and my myelin sheaths less conductive?
ben_vulpes: i suppose a 'learn latin as an adult' strategy is going
to
take a few weeks
to cook up.
mircea_popescu: anyway, most latin speakers in
the history of
that language learned it as adults.
ben_vulpes: nothing like
the forum
to point out
the inadequacies of one's history
ben_vulpes: i'm frustrated by having been
taught a myriad of languages (to retard-level competence only), but NEVER LATIN
☟︎ mircea_popescu: derivation on
the other hand is how you obtain lesser from less, or beautiful from beauty, so it's prolly what you were after.
mircea_popescu: verbal flexion follows
tense, aspect and number accord with
the nouns. it also applies
to adverbs in some languages. noun declension follows case and number.
these are grammar rules.
mircea_popescu: there's also derivation, when stems are altered
to fit concepts.
ben_vulpes: it ain't conjugation 'cause it ain't a verb, (and
this question clearly makes me an "ESL" speaker) so what is
the linguistic
term of art for constructing language elements like
this?
mod6: <+pete_dushenski> mod6: all my hashes on 99996k_2 match :) << awesome,
thanks for checking
that out
pete_dushenski off
to
the hockey game, looking
to see if mc-collarbone can put up another 5-snacker.
mircea_popescu: * asciilifeform back from maths library, opens book, finds letter 'to reader' circa 2001, inviting
to
talk
to some long-gone prof merely for being interested in
the
text << sad huh.
mats: reminds me of mp's `in
theory doe could shit on any blade of grass it wanted'
mats: just wanted
to put
that prediction in
the log, continue with your regularly scheduled programmes
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: You never know until you get
the opportunity
to
try it.
mats: seems
to me
the real estate industry is ripe for
this
mats: i was reflecting earlier
today on where
the next great electronic heist will be
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Instead of reading maths have pornography with
the maths produced for your consumption
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Only because you have yet
to ship cardano so you can fund moving maths literature
to pornhub

pete_dushenski: i remember reading
that 'billionaire saves...' piece back when i first started hanging out here and i recall
thinking
that mp being a 'billionaire' was some kinda
troll
BingoBoingo: I imagine it can't be long before old mp writes commentaries on young mp's
trilemas
mircea_popescu: so not only is my beard half white, but here i sit basking in
the glory of
the writings i used
to write. such is old age!
BingoBoingo: May not have even
taken
the full year for Bitcoin price
to peak
mircea_popescu: i should enter
the prophecy competition with
that. where's randi when you needi.
mircea_popescu: "The only
thing
that could devalue it, of course, is if I had a change of heart. I confess
that I do, some mornings I wake up exhuberant and
the
ten million seems
to me more like a billion soon."
BingoBoingo: ;;google
the impossibility of investing on cryptostocks
trilema
BingoBoingo: vircurex was
the one
that listed itself on it's other hald
mircea_popescu: right, nasdaq, vircurex, whadda hell's
the difference.

terminal window apparently

☟︎ BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: I've been folowing other bitbet's gotta check
that for our enjoyment. Have doubts it would get approved without sizable zeroconf on 'yes'
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: But i mean compare
to BitBet << Is
there a ClassicCoin bet or just XT? It's like
the BFL delivery bets now, but with scamcoins.
BingoBoingo: I don't see
that browser in my /usr/ports folder
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Another great way
to excise javascript is just giving up and using Dillo as a web browser. It's my favorite for
traversing untrusted sites atm
BingoBoingo: Lets you
turn
them back on one by one so
the rare gem
that is helped by javascript works

Technology Play a Role in Building Social and Solidarity Finance? | Events | UNRISD ... (

BingoBoingo: Not
to mention many ad blockers are awfully wasteful of
the cpu cycles
themselves
BingoBoingo: Spam messages are intolerable, javascript is intolerable, but if a site wants
to uglify itself with static images and such nbd
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Why even bother with
the ad blocker, just say no
to javascript and
the obnoxious ones die automagically
BingoBoingo: I guess I'll stop
trying
to fight
the white hairs on
Tuesday.
pete_dushenski: so nasdaq.com bitches about 'we noticed your ad blocker is on and we kindly request
that you
turn it off
to enhance your user experience'.
this is how mpex won.
this.
BingoBoingo: Seriously
though no gray. Just skipped
to a white somewhere between
titanium oxide and potasium carbonate
BingoBoingo: When
they were coming up in singles
the looked out of place.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> my beard is half white << I'm getting
to
the point
that if I keep plucking
the white ones out I'll have bald patches soon.
pete_dushenski: but stock is 'up' so everyone's a jumpin' and a jivin' and a
takin'
them
there gurls out
to
the dance hall
tonite !
mod6: last chance
to
test
that beta_2 patch for V if you still want
to do so.
mod6: since I
think I've got all
the
testing of V out of people who can on
the beta patches, I'll probably push out v99995
tomorrow.
mod6: ok good deal.
thanks! let us know if
the hashes match
too plz.
mod6: oh, because
the leaf ordering is different. if you want a press of "all" patches as
they exist in
the mirror, currently, you need
to press up
through asciilifeform_maxint_locks_corrected.vpatch
☟︎ pete_dushenski: mod6: weren't we
tweaking previous patches by changing
that one line
to 'malleus' ?
