mircea_popescu: amusingly, it's exactly what we'll say
as they get impaled.
mircea_popescu: did the "well we wanted to do xt but mp nixed it so i guess no xt" comunique appear
as the last entry on bitcoinxt ?
mircea_popescu: so i guess it's not merely "don't help coinbase, they'll fuck you up"
as yesterday, but moreover, "don't help coinbase - they'll fuck you up and then display the unmitigated gall of pretending that it didn't happen, or if it did it shouldn't matter or if it does it has nothing to do wit hthem". herp.
mircea_popescu: if you promise me a banana and fail to deliver the banana
as promised, whether this is related or unrelated, intentional or unintentional, for regulatory reasons or to protect the privacy, I'M SHORT A FUCKING BANANA.
mircea_popescu: the FACT still is
as the guy described. who the fuck cares what your internal functioning is like ? "regulatory reasons" are no reasons.
mircea_popescu: Thinking in those terms, "Hey, TRB actually running on BSD
as opposded to PRB sounds to me like it'd be huge, it must be made a point of public communication, I need datas to support me in discussing this with people, plox to help me here!" is a helluva lot more productive than "this is X's dominion". At the worst this will clarify that "nah, not really", at the best it'll help a lot of idiots understand why it nobody
mircea_popescu: on the OTHER hand however, you have to understand biology works on drivers, and b-a is very much a natural system, so biology applies. the whole shebang is driven by need, if you go "I NEED X and Y and Z to be able to do K!" you may or may not get X, Y or Z, or maybe a response
as to the usefullness of K, but in any case the b-a itself gains. If you recall a primary driver for historical activity was alf going "I want
mircea_popescu: ds are you'll end up having to do it later anyway, and once you know this it's always better to do it at a time of choice than at a time of need. Obviously this leaves wide open the "well I just don't care so much about Ying", which is fine, with the caveat that
as the reunion of Ys starts approaching the universe, you're getting closer and closer to the nagant ending.
mircea_popescu: ral agressivity, which will make him less of an Adam, but in exchange you're protecting Amy's identity, which will make her more of an Amy. The argument
as to whether this is a good idea or a bad idea hinges on how you value the part of Adam that's lost and the part of Amy that's saved - because yes, wherever spheres touch something's gonna get flattened, that's unavoidable - but in any case an argument can always be b
mircea_popescu: on one hand, the "dominion" approach to thinking isn't particularly useful here, because all it does is provide the limiting (the disadvantageous) part of setting boundries, without delivering any kind of protective (ie, advantageous) offset. Specifically how boundries work is, suppose you have two kids, Amy aged 7 and Adam aged 6. If you set a boundry such
as "Adam, never hit Amy!" you are in fact limiting Adam's natu

as a badge of merit and distinction ? please, tell me what i have to do to 'go spinoza' or 'go galileo' ;)
mircea_popescu: if you can't keep a schedule if you don't have an office, your problems are the adolescentine irresponsibility, not the lack of an office. fix the problem,
as it's an absolute bar to being a businessman ANYWAY, office or no office.
assbot: Logged on 21-12-2015 05:31:48; asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: benchmark fraud is precisely
as old
as benchmarks and is pestilentially pervasive
mircea_popescu: aymor was just an inexperienced but hardworking 26-year-old when he started Alma
as a “pop-up concept” restaurant in early 2012, not long after eating a fateful piece of lamb that, the press has repeated, set him on the path to cooking.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski:
As penance you should fire up a trb node to test the new version string patch
pete_dushenski: even without the internet, you'd figure that there would still be huge swathes of the population (those with brains, pen, and paper) that can figure out that "10% inflation" shouldn't yield a doubling in food prices every 3 years,
as we've essentially seen in the last 3 years with only a reported inflation of "under 2%"
pete_dushenski: i'd be curious to know (and so will endeavour to find out) if there were
as many people calling "bullshit" in the late 70s and early 80s when reported inflation was ~10% and loan rates for cars and houses were 20-25%

assbot: Logged on 21-12-2015 00:27:34; mircea_popescu: nobody cares to look at the root causes. "hey derps ? you're being
as inefficient
as humanly possible" "well of course, any other course would be an economic disaster" "your idea of economy is like a rat's idea of hygiene : the more sewers the better" "so ?"
mircea_popescu: so 1st, he's going to "sell" the genius "service" of literally a half hour's worth of perling around. and goes through all the motion
as if this nonsense were genuinely a business, and had anything to do with money, employment, the works.
mircea_popescu: about
as sterile
as it gets, except for the part where it drives the emotions of the mob into max gear.

☟︎☟︎ adlai: "
As an infix language, it encourages nested parentheses. Sometimes to a ludicrous extent. They must be counted and balanced." << some maintain that even prefix notation has this effect...
jurov: btw, i'm testing unchanged same code

☟︎☟︎ TheNewDeal: My sister almost got shot in that massacre in california
as well
Birdman: TheNewDeal: It was explained to me
as such, the unsustainable inefficient entity that is the USG probably isnt even capable of pulling off schemes like you suggest
TheNewDeal: and they could actually move my vocal cords and limbs
as well
mircea_popescu: well, be all that
as it may, i do hope that before i die i reach that enchanted nirvana where i don't have to deal with anyone other than mps.
mod6: so then those antecedents would point to the new vpatch (at the same node level
as asciilifeform_ver_no_5_4_and_irc_is_gone_and_now_must_give_ip.vpatch) but a separate node.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> it would end up
as an altogether other tree in the graph << so said patch to add documentation dir would be its own root?
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6: have you tested it with 'false' entries? (files which were newly created) << this is a good test. it should just do what its supposed to do '
as is' I think? this line will grab the 'b' of the vdiff; my $file_hash = $vp_map{$vp}{$src_file_name}{b};
mircea_popescu: if you're happy with ammo dollars (kinda dubious), pretty much every warlord in the middle east got himself
as much this decade.
mircea_popescu: "The first great step was taken long ago," said Mr. Monk,–"taken by men who were looked upon
as revolutionary demagogues, almost
as traitors, because they took it. But it is a great thing to take any step that leads us onwards."
BingoBoingo: If shennanigans could always "go stealth" and pile on

as if everything can, or indeed should, be put in those terms.

as a vehicle for future "painless" shitgnovation

mircea_popescu:
as far
as the faux developers are concerned, it's rather obvious that even people with just a little ego will nevertheless necesitate the psychological maneuver of working themselves out of it through "projects" rather than just stopping.
mircea_popescu:
as far
as the faux users were concerned, this was stated
as obvious in 2012.
mircea_popescu: point remains :
as far
as bitcoin is concerned, the thing is
as irrelevant
as the messages blockchain.info keeps "tagging" transactions with. the people who have no business in bitcoin but for whatever emotional/psychogenic reasons are misrepresented or misrepresenting themselves
as involved WILL necessarily find a way out. there's just no way to stay attached if you;'re not attached.

As I left the room I was shattered. And
as my contact at Accelerace didn’t call me later on that day I knew where it was going. My chairman didn’t either. Not a good sign. I left messages and they didn’t return my calls. In the afternoon I
mircea_popescu: hence the massive "coding streak" and other "productivity' measures,
as if coding is a sort of stationary bicycle and who knows, "maybe you wanna know" aka "your boss does"
mircea_popescu: anyway, jp had same problem - excised it. for
as long
as kept it out... survived.
mircea_popescu: but yes it would, in typical manner of the shitgnomerism that it is, exist solely
as a leech-wrapper on something else.
mircea_popescu: in a thoroughly tangential tangent : CRYPTO_malloc is likely
as porous
as thin gauze.
mircea_popescu: but you surely recall the original discussions of "bitcoin-
as-filesystem"
as a precursor to bitcoin-os
mircea_popescu: this is not a sprint. it's not even a marathon. the most important thing, by a large margin, is plox don't kill yourselves fighting with it. if anyone goes "i'll tend to my ulcer once i sorted out THIS thing", that someone's going to be remembered
as naggum 2.
mircea_popescu: 98.x% of my contribution
as far
as fucking up my own tech dept goes to date has been variations of "STOP WITH THE DAMNED CODE" and such.
mircea_popescu: ming through PPC were converted at a lower rate than those originating through SEO. Even
as we sharpened our targeting, experimented with messaging, and sought advice and consulting from more experienced parties, we found that paid channels just weren’t good enough to merit real focus."
mircea_popescu: That worked brilliantly for us. We acquired users for practically nothing by using the content and site structure generated
as a byproduct of our tutor acquisition. However, that success was also a trap. It convinced us that there had to be another channel that would perform for us at the level of SEO.
mircea_popescu: in other news, "Tutorspree didn’t scale because we were single channel dependent and that channel shifted on us radically and suddenly. SEO was baked into our model from the start, and it became increasingly important to the business
as we grew and evolved. In our early days, and during Y Combinator, we didn’t have money to spend on acquisition. SEO was free so we focused on it and got good at it.
mircea_popescu: they don't want that part of bitcoin anymore. it's "blockchain technologies" now
as far
as reddit is concered, with spv mining, 0tx fees and hopefully increasing block subsidies in the future.
