davout: "Bitcoin XT: a project run by two men who already shipped a compromise solution that reflects the demands of miners, users and companies." <<< it strikes me
as weird then that "users", "miners", and "companies" aren't running it, why could it be?
BingoBoingo: But for srs, isn't that the Startup incubators eating college kids racket in a nutshell. 19 year old buterin taking it in the ass for money. Aged
as though he's thirty he can't the the VC money, he gets the crack rock every fifth blowie in an alley money.
mircea_popescu: i wager no fucking higher power would
as much
as sneeze on this one.
mircea_popescu: there's nothing to fix here. these aren't problems people get. these are problems things trying to masquerade
as people get.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes no, because try
as one might, the genders may be interchangeable but the sexes - not.
mircea_popescu: i watched it because of tlp's idiotic fixation on basinger and an insistence on "white heels". a) she wears no heels at all ; b) she is
as hot
as my doorman.
BingoBoingo: Black girls like Guess, Black guys like Nike or esoteric bling brands from more obscure shops. People buy Seiko almost exclusively

mircea_popescu: i might be the only male alive dictating high heel usage
as to type and so forth.

ascii_field seriously considers this,
as he may soon be out of work.
mircea_popescu: Xiao, 47, describes himself
as the emperor of his family.
As such, he's laid down an extraordinary system of rules for his children.
v_diddy: i nominate punkman's arsetechnica link for qntra treatment

pete_dushenski: it made me hesitant to re-watch naked gun, which i adored

as women entered the workforce it became completely impossible for a family to achieve the American dream without the woman in the workforce? Turns out that part of the drive to get women into the workforce was driven by... the workforce owners. Get it?

mircea_popescu: aka "any claim

mircea_popescu: actually
as frustrating
as it is, iirc there was always a good reason
jurov: also
as sysadmin had to configure samba to deal with them..nopenopenope. utf8 was definite improvement.
phf: jurov: that's a question to ascii,
as far
as "better". my point is that "us-ascii" vs "utf-8" in v/vdiff has greater implications
jurov: that shitgnomes use variadic encoding
as a means to append bloat is not failure of said encoding. they'd find another outlet easily
jurov: and it is not so complicated
as you paint it
phf: jurov: problem is that there's no such thing
as "any text file". a text file necessarily has an encoding, and your options are either standardize on an encoding (the way plan9 did it, with going all utf-8) or else carry massive machinery for supporting a range of encodings from utf-8 to shiftjis

mircea_popescu:
as a ready shorthand, remember that in 1400 the entire material production of the entire archipelago was worth about the same
as that of one neighbourhood in milan.
punkman: usually same demographic

mircea_popescu: not only do idiots converge with other idiots - but their confidence increases
as they do so.
mod6: anyway, all thats really required to ensure it works is that perl is installed, Graph::Easy is installed, and that keys are named
as <wot_id>.asc in the hand created ~/.wot dir.
mircea_popescu: basicallt they had a woman in tech. anonymous,
as we don't know who came up with this "idea", but the cuntcheese stinks through.
ascii_field: instrumented

as an investment and detach myself emotionally from the games
☝︎ mircea_popescu: on the other hand, stuff that isn't math, such
as whatever, "ecology" don't even HAVE concepts, at all
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in fairness, math is an AWFUL example for this matter. because, well, in honesty a "simple" notion such
as the notion of a number is still patently ununderstood by the species altogether. and for that matter minimal effort to even comprehend it starts with what, frege ? a coupla centuries ago ?

mircea_popescu: editor Alan Dundes dismisses Campbell's work, characterizing him
as a popularizer: "like most universalists, he is content to merely assert universality rather than bother to document it. […] If Campbell's generalizations about myth are not substantiated, why should students consider his work?"
mircea_popescu: "Others have found the categories Campbell works with so vague
as to be meaningless, and lacking the support required of scholarly argument: Crespi (1990), writing in response to Campbell's filmed presentation of his model characterized it
as "...unsatisfying from a social science perspective."
mircea_popescu: According to Northup (2006), mainstream scholarship of comparative mythology since Campbell has moved away from "highly general and universal" categories in general.[13] This attitude is illustrated by e.g. Consentino (1998), who remarks "It is just
as important to stress differences
as similarities, to avoid creating a (Joseph) Campbell soup of myths that loses all local flavor."[14] Similarly, Ellwood (1999) stated "

as a problem in idiots who imagien they can keep bitcoin at bay by saying (in some magical correct form, i guess) that "i do not agree" or "i am not inviting this devil in my house" or whatever. "that is not how debates work", what have you.

mircea_popescu:
as far
as average person is concerned, their safety from being, eg, raped, is built entirely out of their belief in the magical power of a construct like that. it is not meaningful, but magical, in that it projects will and controls "the universe".
