adlai: but "the whole ['opponents'
thing] is a false dichotomy"
adlai: no, if opponents are
too dumb, bot makes more money
than i've paid
tax
to cover, and i pay some more
tax.
adlai: so far i must say,
the humans have been surprisingly efficient
ben_vulpes: sooo bot
thinger's not making any money because dumb opponents?
adlai has paid more "tax"
than he'll "owe" in
the next ~year, barring persistent s.mpoe
trader idiocy
adlai: and if
that's lost on you... well
there are some classics
that were written after marie lost her head
adlai subscribes
to
the pledge of "gimme eat"
assbot: Logged on 09-12-2015 09:44:52; adlai: moderator: "Oh so it can
then be
taxed as a currency and a commodity, and [Dr CSW] said, 'neither'" << clearly has not signed
the pledge of allegiance yet
adlai at least can still put
two and
two
together
adlai: but
this is just my opinion, and i'm amoral for reasons of mental retardation
adlai: he could ECDSA sign a message saying "any further coinbases were mined by impostors, frauds, and early adopters, or all
three simultaneously"
adlai: the best and
trust-minimalest "proof-of-satoshi" is
the (unspendable!) genesis coinbase
BingoBoingo: Satoshi's speshul because as alf says "has
to move coins"
to inspire faith in identity correspondence
adlai: ;;later
tell pete_dushenski PGP signatures don't prove identities
to people who don't
trust
the keys. repeated attempts
to establish
trust lines
to satoshi's purported PGP key have failed
nubbins`: says he hasn't even listened
to it yet
assbot: Logged on 09-12-2015 14:48:29; mircea_popescu: my guess is
that it's more of a configuration
thing
than a preservation
thing.
mircea_popescu: my guess is
that it's more of a configuration
thing
than a preservation
thing.
☟︎ punkman: but why would I want
to preserve
this
punkman: ".gnupg/random_seed. A file used
to preserve
the state of
the internal random pool." any clue what
this
thing is?
Naphex: i only cover chrome for
the most part, firefox got really left behind..
Naphex: ben_vulpes:and
think what you will, constraining
the operating environment
to just chrome is a pretty sensible cost-reducing move.
Naphex: the api is meant
to be exported for all
the other clients which we will be developing
Naphex: ben_vulpes: xotika has a full rest-full API while
the angular js is static html
that just connects
to
the backends
☟︎☟︎ Naphex: CoraCrisT handless
the bussiness side, and press and recruiting and a bunch of other stuff

mircea_popescu: this is actually indicative of
the very fucking problem : ethics means, how
to live. such as for instance, how
to drive a fucking airplane i nthe
tax office if you live in
the us.
that's ethics. meanwhile
the carefully-debilitated ustards actually
think ethics means
the exact opposite of what ethics means.
to
them ethics is "the ways
to inconvenience your life".
mircea_popescu: ethical idiocy, where ethical does not mean what esltards
think it means, but merely "how
to correctly live".
mircea_popescu: average ustard is, i would guess, a 110
to 115 iq college graduate whose 110
to 115 iq is composed of 150+ iq in beating himself up, 25 iq in establishing relationships and so on and so forth.
mircea_popescu: but whatever, fight "patriarchy", not
the incredibly unhealthy system
that makes you be dumb in
the few spots it handles you by so your smarts in
the rest of
the spectrum can be best sucked dry.
mircea_popescu: so well selected for
the convenience&perpetuation of
the stupidity she comes from, one can hardly believe it's not deliberately
trained.
mircea_popescu: punkman so it does huh. except it's a weird
thing, i've seen
this lots in us-born slavegirls. woman could be well above 100 iq,
think herself stupid, and indeed exhibit ~30-50 iq in selected fields.
mircea_popescu: oh right, and i forgot, "c)
there's a shortage of you suckers [and really, alot of money you can give right back
to us is "chasing"
this deal.
totally.]"
mircea_popescu: these indians have
time,
the nature of which
they also fail
to understand, and well... it's
the funciar good
today.
mircea_popescu: which happens
to be exactly what's happening,
too. indians "had" land,
the nature of which
they failed
to understand, but it was
the funciar good for good reason back
then.
mircea_popescu: yeah,
totally. what you want when doing a start-up is
to "raise" a lot of money so you can pay
the people who you "rose" it from rent so
their real-estate sidelines do really well (in exactly
the opposite fashion of what's preached here), while "not optimizing for your size of
the pie".
mircea_popescu: "here's
the
things we want you
to
think : a)
that you need us ; b)
that you shouldn't look out for yourself".

mircea_popescu: then we wonder why cuckolding is
the primary lifestyle of white pplz.
adlai: leaving your mark on
the world, like a pissing mutt, rather
than breathing life into a new one
mircea_popescu: there's something very appealing
to idiocy about
this process of "invention"
through kidnapping a princess and dragging her
through
the mud of one's orcish abode.
mircea_popescu: all "rock"
throuyghout
the 60s-90s is simply us music set
to [bad] localised lyrics. and contemporary "rap" is just about
the same.
mircea_popescu: the crayfish, frog and pike story counts in romanian as "wholly original content by al donici", notwithstanding it's a plain as day
translation of previous generation ru material.
mircea_popescu: all romanian literature, +- 2 or 3 people in
the entire history, consists of
translations and imports passed off as original.
mircea_popescu: and pretend like
they have no clue about it,
too. "i just got
this idea".
mircea_popescu:
https://angel.co/syndicates << in other news, every proprietary scamsystem/kickstarter out
there will be sooner or later building a bug-ridden, half-baked, ad-hoc implementation of
the common wot.
adlai: "College is a place where a professor's lecture notes go straight
to a student's lecture notes without passing
through
the brains of either" - Samuel L Clemens
mircea_popescu: "i don't have a name and i was born without a face, here's some salmon background" evaluates
to p-bignum.
mircea_popescu: in other news, would any of
the brighter minds present explain
the jwz piece
to me ? i have
the feeling he
thinks he's being clever, but i lack
the resources
to comprehend
the intricate minutia of his idiocy.
mircea_popescu: i guess reuters, wired & all correctly judge
that
there's absolutely no brand value left in
their shit and so why worry.
mircea_popescu: which is great, i guess, if you're at
that level of stupid, but otherwise would seem kinda damaging.
mircea_popescu: anyway, so
the point of
the "is random derp X ?" (no) article was so
that reuters could run a piece saying "Australian police raided
the Sydney home and office on Wednesday of a man named by Wired magazine as
the probable creator of bitcoin and holder of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of
the cryptocurrency, Reuters witnesses said."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: it's not like
their own unsufferable personalities ever bite
them. it's just
these damned dogs everywhere all
the
time!
mircea_popescu: that sciencemag bit is hysterical
tho. idiots who buy into
the whole "ip is needed for
to creativity with!" hook line and sinker are displeased when it
turns out "ip only exists for people
to arb
the process, and make money out of
the money intended
to support creativity". but it never occurs
to
them what
the problem is. because hey, why should scientists be any better at
thinking
than random five year old, "dog bit me
mircea_popescu realised immediatelyt
thereafter with some sadness
that he can't actually be arsed
to go into
the anthill and impose sense upon it.
mircea_popescu just realised
that what he should be doing with
this
time
these days is interview isis derps.
adlai can't believe he watched
the entire panel, but it has
the perfect blend of pseudoscience,
technobabble, and hopium
mircea_popescu: hey,
that's exactly what
the republic of china's government hopes in china are. har har.
they'll
tax
the mainland off
taiwan!"
adlai: heh, ed moy's closing words boil down
to "usg has no future in bitcoin beyond hoping
to
tax it"
mircea_popescu: yeah dude.
totally fucking suspect,
that you film on my premises without paying me and
then don't get
to benefit from
the product. so suspect it almost makes me wonder why
the fuck would i even bother owning shit.
mircea_popescu: "Who filed
the claim? Gamma Phi Beta and Kappa Delta,
two large national organizations of sisterly love, whose houses and members were featured in
the video.
This was highly suspect."
mircea_popescu: kinda how adolescents
the world over do
their dating. "hey, wanna go out with me ? no ? oh, i was only joking. ha-ha."
mircea_popescu: fluffypony no,
the "joke" is only
there
to make
the idiocy pass.
adlai: it doesn't keep
them in check,
the purpose is deflection

that muppet. intel
turned him up sometime
this autumn,
total lulzfest.

that was a joke
