jurov: .. in
the rare cases
there is no industry upstream
kakobrekla: the mud
that
the hydro dams collect is not
toxic but much needed nutrients for plants down
the stream
jurov: hydropower means large lagoons
that
tend
to acumulate
toxic deposits
that noone wants
to
touch. coal and nuclear mean radioactive
toxic waste,
too. while defunct windmill means piece of perfectly usable structural alloy.
mod6: i can see
the natgas one from my office.
mod6: Must have figured it was a cheaper alternative. *shrug*
They might have some others
that run on coal or oil even? Not sure.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu>
that'll be some pretty epic action movie. << haha, yah. oh well.
mircea_popescu: you'll notice
that "third world pissholes" don't function in
the sense of "person mp doesn't like vacations
there".
mircea_popescu: pyongyang is still
there at incredible sino-usg expenditure.
mircea_popescu: because my slaves obey me 24/7, and
that leaves 20hours/day unoccupied for
the cattle.
mircea_popescu: no political system survives
that sort of "4 hours a day" bs.
mircea_popescu: without a diffuse network
to lose into, electricity is a hair raising proposition
mircea_popescu: sorta like "carnot engine does not work without atmosphere". in fact
that's exactly it.
mircea_popescu: this neatly mirrors our previous discussion, where you were holding
that "all civilisation depends on mass market".
that much is false.
mircea_popescu: ie, survivalist enough
to pull a bundy, populated enough
to really hurt if it does.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile,
the representational needs of
the usg are exactly highest in MN as opposed
to say alaska. because
THAT is
the
true fronteer atm, separating
the bundys from
the bahamases.
mircea_popescu: by
the
time you've run out of everything ELSE
that has better wind and are putting
them in MN
the world is half-full of wind
turbines.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the simple proof
that wind is purely for show - so
that soviet citizen sees it and is impressed with
the usg, just like
the red army red square parades of otherwise useless missiles - rather
than for energy is
that
the one place where you should have
them (tierra del fuego) doesn't have
them.
mircea_popescu: mod6> more study required. << yeah, up until a spinning blade worth 50
tons comes off
the fucking 200 foot
tall mount.
thestringpuller: This is why you shouldn't give penniless hippies any nice
things ever, cause
they will break
those nice
things.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: re:
toomim meltdown << it was hilarious
to listen
to, cuz he is just like "I'ma stoned. Hue hue hue. I developed consider.it and we gonna use it
to fix bitcoin governance problems, cuz like democracy is
the shit. And it like works."
mod6: i
think one
thing
thats interesting about alternatives
to dams or nuclear is
that its less of a central
target for sabotage or attack.
mod6: mircea_popescu: hey
thanks for working up
the math on
the wind power. yeah, looks like
that was pretty moronic.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo ".
The petrified paper pushers, afraid
that actual strong cryptography might catch on among
the cattle caste, has sent
their favorite stooge
to discredit
the event." << have sent
mircea_popescu: ask
them next you see
them at one of
their inept "conferences", sprouting with unwarranted cockyness whatev er bullshit, what happened of
their support for
this ?
mircea_popescu: anyway. let us remind at
this juncture
that various blathering imbeciles, such as
that dude from coinbase, or
that dude from
the nsa, or
that other dude from
the nsa, or
that other derp "supported"
this raging lunacy.
mircea_popescu: assbot: Michael
Toomin explains his meltdown, and
the structure of Bitcoin Classic (45 min in!) << dude, i don't care if he gives away clinton's hairy snatch and
the secret of immortality 45 minutes in. who
the fuck has
the
time for
this sorta
thing.
mircea_popescu: first off birds don't just move.
they're more adverse
to living
the swamp
they for no good reason call home
than alf is. and for
the other, demand doesn't create scarcity,
that whole branch's not even wrong.
assbot: Logged on 25-01-2016 07:08:57; pete_dushenski: disneyesque animalia as. changing gruntwork jobs (which is what power generation is), ceretis paribus, doesn't matter in
the slightest
to
the global ecological footprint. if anything, as bitcoin mining grows into even
the double-digits of global power use, it will create a scarcity of electricity for non-mining uses, driving up prices in
those other domains,
thus decreasing less essential usage, decr
punkman: someone on
twitter extracted some valid partial gpg packet
that said DBC2E82BB763CF80
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform watch
that some
towelhead with a quart of brie between his legs stole some code and did
the usual "i am 15 yo coder and i can replace strings"
thing
to it.
assbot: Logged on 25-01-2016 06:20:57; pete_dushenski: and i just searched for
the key id listed
there, neither 1650H76 nor 1658OH76 yielded any hits. but
then again, why should it ? (aside from
the comedic value)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in
the sense everyone's mp. aspirational sense.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just like
the nigger-death of a naive white libtard is only covered by rags
that also cover all sorts of other race insanities.
mircea_popescu: <punkman> I also don't get why i's on medium << because
that's what altman's qntra is called.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> mega-unsurprise. <<
this "everyone can do it - you could be next - make 10 gazillion renting out
the space inside your nose" narrative must be driven!!1
assbot: Bug 1300237 – CVE-2016-2053 kernel: Kernel panic and system lockup by
triggering BUG_ON() in public_key_verify_signature() ... (

punkman: why is
the journal of craptology full of song videos?
mircea_popescu: hopefuly
taken away
to a new prison built in a neighbouring
town ?
assbot: Flint Residents

That
Their Children Could Be
Taken Away If

assbot: Logged on 25-01-2016 04:47:39; *: BingoBoingo once he completes
the re-reading list would like
to publish a book, or at least a lecture series
title "The Will
To Hodl"
jurov: danielpbarron(and other folks in my WoT): we're using
transferwise, works quick and swell so far. For N euro
that arrives
to my account you get N/1.02 x.eur, discount possible if you can commit
to schedule.
BingoBoingo: lol, Or Coinbase just signing all
those votes
thestringpuller: already selling out
to corporations and
they didn't even need lobbyist
this
time!
thestringpuller: lol i remember when
the falcons played
the broncos in
the superbowl, and we actually
thought we stood a chance.
BingoBoingo: Looks like Brady fell apart in
this likely last Brady/Peyton Manning matchup. Which is surprising because Peyton himself is barely alive for charitable definitions of alive.
BingoBoingo: Anyways for people who care about
the NFL chain (maybe BitBet) A Denver Broncos versus Carolina Panthers superbowl was mined.
