BingoBoingo: That's roughly half of all discussions in
the history of bitcointalk
assbot: Logged on 11-02-2016 01:47:54; punkman: "To whom it may concern:
The previous management was not able
to generate enough income
to pay
the bills for
the expenses of running 2ch. Previously I allowed some autonomy
to
them. During
that
time my name has been slandered.
The ability for 2ch
to generate enough income
to stay open was damaged. I hope
that with proper management
that 2ch can recover."
BingoBoingo: ;;later
tell pete_d_out You know, you might want
to defend your
title from nubbins' as it seems he wants all of Canada
to himself.
assbot: Logged on 16-10-2015 15:12:55; mircea_popescu: aka, pay for all our sins, as we can't afford
to do it. and so you get godfathers, and get
to enjoy
the movie.
that's his role in
the community :
that he pays your blodgelt for you.

BingoBoingo: I can finally replace wound spring for keeping me standard
time
punkman: mircea_popescu: well Jim must be making some money
to pay for
the bandwidth, no?
BingoBoingo: I just found out
that apparently using a radio
telescope pointed at a pulsar for a
time source is something actually being done.
mircea_popescu: punkman mind
that by
their very nature, chans NEVER pay for
their bills.
assbot: Agents of
Thermos: "Default
Trust" member Escrow.ms arrested,
Tradefortress still at large : Buttcoin ... (

☟︎ punkman: also
the other guy
that
thought he owned 2ch
BingoBoingo: Remember when copypaste
though he owned 8chan?
That's
the sort of misunderstanding
that seems
to preclude doing business with 2ch.
punkman: was just wondering if you ever
talked
to
the Jim fellow
that owns both
that and 8ch
mircea_popescu: punkman i asked
them
to either support bitcoin or do a one
time deal for me.
they were going
to get back, never did.
BingoBoingo: * mircea_popescu recalls
the lulzier years in 2011-2012 back when roger ver was actually pretending
to be like, a business man, and stuff. << NEver forget $50 Blockchain.info chargeback because Ver's sticky hands were in all
the
things
then
gernika: mod6 verified in v99995_beta2
that it no longer presses a non-existent patch name and
throws an error instead.
mircea_popescu: but whatever,
the fiat deck of cards will endure because... i dunno, everyone will promise
to not
take a shit on it and also uphold
that promise. sounds workable :D

shinohai: What's Roger Ver doing on bitcointalk anyway since he built his own forum
to be a beacon of free speech?
mircea_popescu: so only very
technically a "resistance", more like a first-to-kick-the-loser competition.
mircea_popescu: but as best i can discern, any sort of "resistance movement" would be in
the sense of "we'll do
the raping and pillaging ourselves, who are
these foreign derps" rather
than "we'll defend
the shithole".
mircea_popescu: well i guess
this point shall be verified in practice huh.
mircea_popescu: the cleaners are how you even have
the word algorithm.
mircea_popescu: "copper sulphate and planks with nails, clean
this shit out"
mircea_popescu: i
think it's a lot more like "look, befouled real estate"
mircea_popescu: but hey, "i guess now you know how
the ''syrian refugees'' feel".
mircea_popescu: go door
to door, beat all males
to death, rape all females, load
them up in
trucks and ship
them
to fucking bahrein. what
the everliving fuck,
these people should not live.
mircea_popescu: i
think as
the collapse advances, i will be very hard pressed
to resist
the
temptation
to
take a
trip over
to sf and just serb
the fucking place.
mircea_popescu: but
this is important!
these shitheads are ENTIRELY self referential now.
mircea_popescu: to my eyes, sept 93 looks like
the flu as compared
to
this bubonic leprosy varicella.
mircea_popescu: these delusioanl urchins are so used
to seeing
themselves as a sort of neo-in-matrix
that it just doesn't compute.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: reddit makes money and is important, star wars is an acceptable font of comparisons, "exaggeration" in
the sense of cracked.com retardation is an acceptable stylistic maneuver, and
the list just goes on and on.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi what
they're drinking, but
there's
this cloud of pointedly useless 20somethings floating around in
this lalaland of delusional
thinking
the likes of which has not been seen ever since
the
turks wore
the byzantine "aristocratic" kids as cock decorations five centuries ago.
mircea_popescu: "emperor palpatine" and "reddit, one of
the blabla". 1) reddit is shit ; 2) reddit never made any fucking money.
mircea_popescu: "I understand a business has
to make money. 8chan needs
to make money
to survive, but making money and being open source is not mutually exclusive. Lots of sites do it, including reddit, one of
the biggest sites on
the Internet
today."
mircea_popescu: i suppose once people get serious about it, it could be made
to cost less
than
the
tyre.
shinohai: copypaste: was very much a
tl;dr
mircea_popescu: costs more
to cut
the
tyre and replace or make a replacement
than it costs
to let it be.
mircea_popescu: that's actually a very close solution. about as good as it gets in
terms of your dream "sunken bubbles in
the ocean"
mircea_popescu: but yes. however, unfortunately for
them,
this is a very hard problem.
mircea_popescu: i guess someone should make a
three-mosfet hash function. just spit out
the 1/f pink.
mircea_popescu: There is an extensive, and apparently never-ending, literature on "lightweight identification protocols" such as HB, HB+, HB++, HB-MP, HB*,
Trusted-HB, and HBsharp. Each of
these protocols was broken within one year of being proposed. Note
that any authenticated cipher can
trivially be used for identification:
the challenger sends a random message;
the prover sends back
the same message, authenticated.
mircea_popescu: "a contest of which nothing is known but
the name", i guess.
mircea_popescu:
http://www.cesarproject.eu/ there we go. "To maintain
the European leading edge position in
the
transportation as well as automation market, CESAR aims
to boost cost efficiency of embedded systems development and safety and certification processes by an order of magnitude."
mircea_popescu: iirc, eu was spending some decent money on a derivative
to evaluate safety of embedded systems
