mircea_popescu: if objective is 'make a river of meat' then sure. if trying to accomplish something more interesting? not so much

mike_c:
mircea_popescu: the entirety of this is "if people actually really really want to see it growing", no more. << interesting idea, but unless *we* want to see it grow I don't see point of writing it up yet.

ascii_field:
mircea_popescu: the reason i consider ratcheting (and, ergo, growing at all) blocks to be a situation of 'enemy can deal more damage than he has to pay for' is that even if people pay per kB, ~actual machines are pots of finite depth~

mircea_popescu: "Thank you for this clarification Mr. Nakamoto. It has been an honor to be labeled by my friends as "Satoshi's Drunk Uncle" and it's a moniker I'll wear proudly until the day I retire from Crypto. The Goldcoin (GLD) developers truly admire your work and strive to continue improving upon its design as a tribute to your unparallelled genius. Your admirer and relative in spirit, MicroGuy."

mircea_popescu: no, i'm such an asshole i have to have my food tasted.
phf:
mircea_popescu: i was expecting fresh seafood, it being a coastal country, easily available. oaxaca and guerrero for example had fish markets all over the shore.
phf:
mircea_popescu: ok, i yield. in the small shore towns all they have is casados, which is not something i expected after shore towns in other countries with rich sea food cuisine. so my first experience in the big city is a cheat sheet silverware and undercooked chicken for the girl. at that point i, and i agree, unfairly, assumed that they just don't like food.
phf:
mircea_popescu: retard quarter i assume is around the hospital area?
pete_dushenski:
mircea_popescu phf the three of us should have a costa rica photo comparison event

pete_dushenski:
mircea_popescu: careful with that 'anything other than this' approach. it's arguably what put us in this entire mess to begin with.

mircea_popescu: she got so heartbroken she deleted her whatever profile etc. but wtf am i to do, i won't hang out with some chick that actually thinks "the people bla bla". just like that chick won't hang out with some dude that's either short or thinks the boo boo about fatties. cuz she can.

BingoBoingo: <
mircea_popescu> (d'artagnan's origin is not coincidental, and the fact superman's not from the ozarks does not reflect too well on either the profundity or the perspectives of that culture) << Of Course. He is from Little Egypt, his statue is in Metropolis, Illinois.
phf:
mircea_popescu: so what changed in the 19th century is that the beatings stopped?
phf:
mircea_popescu: i don't have a defendable position, i'm not sure i fully understand your "degenerate kids" comment, because it seems like a huge write off.

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-08-2015#1237131 << im starting to suspect a "alf's guide to coreboot" full doc would be more valuable than anything on cryptome currently and really a great addition to loper-os. provided it actually is complete.
ben_vulpes: <
mircea_popescu> senator hurrdurr (who really seems an exact mirror image of ron paul in left colorings) is certainly out of the question, but omfg don't tell me trump takes over and does a postmodern rendition of reagan << it is going to be glorious

phf:
mircea_popescu: my russian education was downright abusive by u.s. standards. or you're talking eton style mandatory beatings?
