mircea_popescu:
as the subsidy dies out, trying to be a miner will be a lot like trying to be a lawyer.
mircea_popescu: if you think about it, getting walls to stay the fuck up hadn't been a point of sufficient isnecurity so
as to excite the popular immagination for a good 25 centuries by the time rodari came out.
mircea_popescu: what the derpy romans interpreted
as "dacians invading" was merely continuation of a lyfstyle that had at that time three or four millenia of history behind it.
mircea_popescu: for the least expenditure of intellectual effort possible we have a full socio-political
as well
as philosophical!
mircea_popescu: the brits at the time of their ill advised eastern trip thought nothing of caning children to death, and the general practice was to send off the louts to live
as slaves to other people,
ascii_butugychag: am i think or what, i don't see the equivalence. bribery and threat are approx.
as equivalent
as arses and elbows
ascii_butugychag: but given the mammalian tendency to 'hate to lose more than loving to win' (
as described in a mircea_popescu article !) it makes sense to distinguish 'threat' and 'promise'
as items
mircea_popescu: what starded
as a more humane way to disposses the old (see balzac, he describes it in detail), has meanwhile become the universal way to cleave yourself from everything.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Yes, just
as BitPay went from harmless derps to info collectatron.
BingoBoingo: Oh, it's like the Hearnstick was completely negated
as soon
as ACH deposits brough fiat to exchanges.
mod6: you passed me a link to BIP66, which,
as far
as I can tell isn't anything more than a bunch of sanity checks.
ascii_butugychag: jurov: the traditional answer is 'if emacs does not behave
as you like, write some elisp'
mircea_popescu: Xplosionist
as it happens, "( function() {" but why would it matter.
Xplosionist: ascii_butugychag: no, there've been two new hires here in the last 18 months. But, try
as I might during my official stint
as manager in 2015, I couldn't hire any more.
mircea_popescu: on" and they represent
as a fundamental failure to thrive.
mircea_popescu: anyway, what your barely-literate friend was trying to convey was that he and his friends regard themselves
as sovereign and outside the common mores of fucktardation and idiocy (conveniently equated with white society), and
as such pussies get taken in. which is what happened to you. which makes sense, in that context, and has exactly 0 to do with color and everything to do with what you represent
as "sexual orientati
bagels7:
as in don't lend money to black people because they don't pay back
mircea_popescu: which is why nobody bothers to engage the derps going "bitcoin/b-a/whatever is a cult!11". sure, whatever, it's a cult. not
as much
as your "feminism" "environment" "government" "state will save us" blabla.
mircea_popescu: otherwise the doctrine
as well
as the history is fulla intermediations and intermediants.
mircea_popescu: in unrelated (really ?) news, two simultaneous (
as in, same second) okcupid messages : GEUINEME, 59, Straight, Woman, Single, 160cm from Miami FL says "You are disgusting ugly piece of humanity !!!! Men like you should be castrated thrown in the desert to be lost forever with never a chance of seeing Another human being." whereas ZenRoots, 23, Straight, Man, Single from Lacey, WA says "Dude what your badass. Keep livin
mircea_popescu: i dunno wtf all those dudes fixated on virginity in their women don't get into programming. fucking virgin field
as far
as the eye can see, it could be 1815 for all anyone'd know.
mircea_popescu recalls they'd have rather re-interpret me
as muslim than face the incredible notion that there exist sane whitey.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-01-2016#1378253 << he has a point you know. takes all of half an hour to make this switch, be a berserker for the rest of your life. and his choice of venue is wise, too. nigga prolly throw you mad respects for the move, because it'd be
as far
as anyone has EVER seen, or heard tale told, the FIRST case a pale face did something.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: In all more than 250 law enforcement officials participated in Tuesday's raids. << 20mn / 250 means productivity per capita for "law enforcement official" is about 80k. basically they wouldn't pull their weight
as engineers, barely qualified to work for mcdonalds.
mircea_popescu: apparently that stuff is still
as huge in the yurp
as it was in the disco boom era.
mircea_popescu: profs do fuck students on occasion (
as they well should), but that occasion is rarer than it would be reasonably expected. meanwhile the student body gossip is almost entirely driven by the overactive sexual imagination of the undersexed bois. if the same bois were mere stable hands, relegated to hard labour and a bed of hay in the barn, just like their proud antecessors actually were, you'd be hearing stories about ho
mircea_popescu: let it further be reflected in teh republican record that having been in a position to both hear the student body consensus on which of the undegrad sluts fucked which profs
as well
as through personally being induced in the professoral social circle actually see with mine own eyes the reality of the matter, there's always some exaggeration afoot.
BingoBoingo pulls out "Fear and Trembling" which I've been reading
as a part of step three
BingoBoingo: Who can have faith
as Abraham, the father of faith did?
danielpbarron: I assume nothing. They say themselves what "higher power" means >> Because of the A.A. policy of a "God,
as we understand Him," A.A. is a den of demonic activity. In the booklet, Conscious Contact, they write, . . . there are probably
as many different ideas about a Higher Power, or God,
as there are people in Twelve Step programs. (p. 8)
BingoBoingo: In the battle between living to see socialist stomped and drinking
as I please... sober relflection demands I do the former instead of the later.
BingoBoingo: But, for srs. If I go back to drinking
as I did it's only a matter of time before my portal vein blows out.
danielpbarron: but they are anon for the exact same reason >> They keep it anonymous, because they are evil and they do not want themselves and their evil deeds to be exposed,
as it is written, Everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. (John 3:20)
BingoBoingo: People sent by the courts often aren't ready for step 1 and many times violate the criteria for membership by not having a desire to quit drinking
as outlined in tradition 3.
danielpbarron: >> The influence of the A.A. society has been massive and widespread. A.A. cooperates with a large variety of groups which includes the U. S. court system. Judges often order people to be involved in A.A.
as a part of a rehabilitation effort.
BingoBoingo: Maybe at some point a few people can graduate from AA to A True Church, but atm I am happy with the job Brodin the Allspotter is doing
as my higher power. Wheymen.
BingoBoingo: At least not in American society
as it is presently structured
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ^ 'eat recycled food! it's good for the environment, and ok for you!' (tm) (r) ('judge dredd') << /me does breakfast
as powder
phf:
as opposed to "artisanal" and "bespoken"
as they differentiate things in portland
ben_vulpes: there's something about working nearly alone
as a sniper versus together with some people you don't really hate all that much
as fuel convoy unit
ben_vulpes: pets consume a fixed fraction of income, may
as well minimize integral of fraction over the next decade or so.
mircea_popescu: seems to me if gonna do it might
as well do it once, but anyway.
punkman: I can give you a secret phrase, which if hashed and used
as torrent infohash, allows you to get my current IPs from torrent tracker
linton_s_dawson: mircea_popescu Thanks, I'll sign up for the mailing list
as well.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i ask cause the thread is disjointed.
as you once said before !s doesn't show the entire picture
buZz: i'll stay pgpless, do
as you wish ;)
cazalla: copypaste, how so? i see the tearing on anything less than 120hz, still can see it on 120hz but isn't
as noticable
SamPatt: Only transactions relating to the scheme, correct? Perhaps I'm not familiar with the original scheme itself, but
as Ponzi scheme is regularly defined today it's just taking in new money to give returns to older players. There's no transactions occurring except to continue this fraud.
ascii_butugychag: but i can't think of any reason why anyone should give a fuck re: the difference presently, so count me
as sold
jurov: missing nutrients are equally
as big problem
as adulterants
ascii_butugychag: i happen to see reasoning about items glued together by happenstance
as if they were intrinsically the same,
as lame.
ascii_butugychag: pete_dushenski: i sure
as fuck buy. but also understand that i am stuck paying for voodoo claptrap at the same time
as the reduced poison, you cannot bid for them separately
ascii_butugychag:
as described in an old mircea_popescu article, it is from ~this premise~ that the other atrocities flow
ascii_butugychag: the automatic implication is that, e.g., tasteless tomatoes are a-ok so long
as they are ~selectively bred~ for truck endurance rather than 'gmo'-d, for instance
ascii_butugychag: to frame the conversation
as being particularly 'about genes' is a deliberate and carefully-constructed memetic gambit by monsanto et al
mircea_popescu: this is something you keep stating
as fact, i keep laughing at, and you keep stating
as fact.
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: i thought it was a usg-powered co. and therefore could
as easily dispense btc (obtained from prisoners, or toomim)
as gold dubloons
ascii_butugychag: (
as BingoBoingo prolly knows, dead squirrels in shoeboxes run netbsd.)
mircea_popescu: we want you today just
as much
as we wanted you back in 2012.
mircea_popescu: but iirc this was mentioned and discussed a year ago, part and parcel of all the "Scaling" bs is a sheer cluelessness
as to what a node actually is / what it does / how it looks.
mircea_popescu: this is you know, "sum total bytes
as if they went into blocks"
mircea_popescu: The human incentive to adopt this chain would be incredibly low though
as everyone has GregCoins now and any exchange that decides to allow arbitrage between the two chains is going to see huge dumps onto the GregCoin chain which will quickly obliterate the price. Why? Because the very large majority that own Bitcoins want the blocksize to increase. I will also happily flush my GregCoins the instant some stupid schmuck
copypaste: it trades "litecoins"
as well
as bitcoins
copypaste:
as far
as i'm concerned at this point any bitcoin hardfork is an altcoin and every softfork is a way to give free coins to miners at some later date
mircea_popescu: it's kinda funny to me, because the vermin they regard
as their progenitors, various "social rights activists" and whatnot benefitted from a context where each defeat made eventual victory more likely.
mircea_popescu: copypaste no, "these people" who aren't in any sort of sense people are merely laying the ground work for "the next battle",
as they perceive the string of endless humiliations and buttrapes they receive.
mircea_popescu: your "push button, i matter" mental model is only applicable here inasmuch
as you're hypocritical enough to go "i planted tree, and got an apple, therefore am in control" sorta thing.
mircea_popescu: "Then knowledgeable people complain that the evil financial network is heading for disaster, that the government sponsored enterprises are about to cause a "collapse of the total financial system",
as Wallison and Alan Greenspan complained in 2005, the government debates shrinking the evil government sponsored enterprises,
as with "S. 190 [109th]: Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005" but they find
pete_dushenski: ascii_butugychag: i'll just leave it
as-is for now. see what happens.
gabriel_laddel: "Consider a transistor whose components are themselves transistors, whose components... Electrical engineers desperately woo the third dimension of circuit integration
as they pack increasingly denser forests of linearly ordered planar devices onto increasingly larger chips. Perhaps the third dimension need not be height. Perhaps it is one of form, of complexity, of recursive fractal structure wherefrom mystic self-
assbot: Q for Gregory Maxwell: Would it be within consideration to implement a different PoW hardfork at the same time
as Classic's? A: Yes, it would be possible to do that. Candidate code is already written. : btc ... (

mircea_popescu: "I'm going back to the frozen north, where the pricks are hard and strong. Back to the land of the all-night stand-where the nights are six months long, where you get it in bits
as hard
as tin in the land where spunk is spunk - not a trickling stream of lukewarm cream, but a solid frozen chunk."
