trinque: mircea_popescu: bahahaha

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu et al ^

phf: <mircea_popescu> fascinating what derps actually sell themselves into. gawker editorial actually thinks it's more than a branded chicken coop << from a limited experience, that seems like a sop in certain kind of sillicon-valley inspired u.s. company. a combination of "you can do anything!" with worst sort of delusions of grandeur.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Seriously

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> the one thing closed source can never do is good docs. << But then how would they sell support as a seperate product?

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Oh those were the paid, pretentious herders of the unpaid. But since Denton clamped down on their lulz Apparently herding interns is too much nao.

trinque: mircea_popescu: makes sense, they're excellent.

trinque: mircea_popescu: I could see it being nice for people with sensory overload issues

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this apparatus works, i was told, like the ubiquitous kitchen vacuum sealer machine. but with an airhole. it is popular where i live, i was told.

nanaki: My (nanaki's) message to mircea_popescu: I have placed a bet on bitbet.us and sent BTCs and successfully confirmed at block# 366130 but the website doesn't apply it. The bottom of the page says "Last block: 1 hour 4 minutes ago (366131)" so it must have applied my bet. ==> SOLVED: the site reflected my bet 1h 18m later since confirmed. Usually the reflection is quick so I slightly panicked! Thank you.

nanaki: Must I wait 4-5 hours to meet mircea_popescu here?

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, mod6, jurov, mircea_popescu, et al: found the test pads on that 'miracast' thing. they were, unsurprisingly, under the sticker.

assbot: Logged on 20-07-2015 00:34:13; mircea_popescu: but past that... who the fuck cares.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, mod6, jurov, mircea_popescu, et al: http://imgur.com/a/ED5Nl

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: background for thread: 'elephant' is this thing that tries to magick away the fact that db exists, by allowing you to mark an arbitrary lisp data structure as 'persistent' and churning it to db behind the scenes

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu has it. sorta like i asked my father, as a small boy, if furniture could speak. answer 'yes, in principle'

assbot: Logged on 20-07-2015 00:30:21; mircea_popescu: anwyay, the notion that google hires derps with degrees is news to me. i thought nobody got to finish his degree because hired in 3rd year.

assbot: Logged on 19-07-2015 19:46:27; asciilifeform: again, it wasn't in mircea_popescu's spec

decimation: mircea_popescu: sats are getting cheaper, but doing a 'multipoint sat constellation' is still going to be $$$$$

decimation: mircea_popescu: okay, suppose your favorite isp null routes your packets (kills your contract)

decimation: mircea_popescu: alright, perhaps the sudetenland (sorry jurov)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu suggested at least one alternate scheme, iirc

asciilifeform: again, it wasn't in mircea_popescu's spec ☟︎

asciilifeform: but the aspect i'd like to emphasize - one which mircea_popescu thought to be an optional frill and did not include in his spec - is the single-packet authentication.

asciilifeform: so why did mircea_popescu clobber a random derp site ?

asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu whitehouse .org ?! iirc that was a parody site...

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-07-2015#1204373 << iirc that was in a mircea_popescu piece ☝︎

asciilifeform: while we're on the subject, am i the only one somewhat dismayed that the one site that probably has no public backup is mircea_popescu's www ?

asciilifeform: but must understand, the more exotic the diddle, the more of a (to borrow mircea_popescu's term) 'glass cannon'

asciilifeform: at the risk of beating the record of mircea_popescu's pessimism on the subject of 'future bitcoin': i currently suspect that protocol change might be the proverbial 'stone so heavy, god cannot lift'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: unless i misunderstood, your implication in earlier thread was that satoshi (in the person of his key) could pop up, propose some arbitrary strange, and have such carry weight on account of him being the famous satoshi

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> in retrospect, his going to war with the dealers sunk his car business. << Beware the trade guilds

asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu didja ever write a piece about bernie cornfeld (1927-1995) ?

ascii_field: so mircea_popescu would run a festering heap of shit like bitcoin 0.1, so long as it were signed with satoshi ?

ascii_field: mircea_popescu: what is the 'reserve power' here ?

assbot: Logged on 16-07-2015 21:39:10; mircea_popescu: because a ship sinking is stil lthe worst time to do research
