as their addresses. trusted nodes (i.e. bot

davout:
as in anything different than "open package, shove in mouth"
cazalla: apparently they're being installed along the hume highway which is a highway around 1000km in length which connects sydney<->melbourne
as well
as a bunch of rural towns together, but from what i've read, you'd have to stop every 200-250 km to recharge this car for 45m, meaning the trip takes an extra 3 hours.. keeping in mind my piece of shit car does 750km of that trip on one tank
cazalla: never seen one
as in never seen a tesla irl
brg444: mircea_popescu: funny you mention iCEBREAKER, was just having a chat with him the other day
as he was inquiring about b-a thinking I was already in seeing
as regularly quote content from trilema/logs. will let him know about your "interest".
phf: it's a coop with whole foods prices, they have a truly weird selection of cashiers, working there for a discount. i'd say trader joes has prettiest cashiers here, but that's a far away truck just to talk to some hipster girls. might
as well go to a bar
mircea_popescu:
as a result, they'll be billed for a few millions, and react to it, gouging insurance prices by a few billion in a half decade.
cazalla: do americans actually pay such prices or is it simply a case where end user pays $8.80 (
as we do here) and the goverment/tax payer is fucked for the rest of it?
shinohai will test cukes
as necessary ....
ascii_field: i.e. if three people have it, it is just
as useful
as if 33 did
mircea_popescu: "Mustaches and beards are permitted so long
as they are kept clean and neat."
ascii_field: in engineering this used to be known
as 'design space shrinkage'
mircea_popescu: think of catholicism
as much harder programming with immutability baked in.

thestringpuller: In this instance I'd think weakest hunter is used
as cannon fodder.
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller: your 'imo'
as to the merits and value of intrafamilial socialism doesn't stand up against the biological and historical record.
wywialm: no,
as the pope does not sign with only his personal key
wywialm: i wanted to point that the level of officiality (at least by catholic criteria) is ambiguous even with most publicised texts, such
as his adhortation or encyclicals
wywialm: pete_dushenski, i'm a little bit familiar with the galileo case, and i wouldn't put it
as an example of revision of doctrine
pete_dushenski: wywialm: nope. that just doesn't wash. this is the EXACT same shtick
as 'opinions of ceo of megacorp are not the opinions of megacorp'
wywialm: but i think there is difference between saying that about Bergoglio
as Bergoglio, and
as Pope Francis
phf: in which case whatever pope says is basically his personal believes
as a famous public figure
thestringpuller: Well lets say the machine was created by protohumans (pre-machine humans), and then
as a result became slaves to the machine
wywialm: well, catholicism has not begun in 2013 and not in 1965
as well and there is plenty of context to be applied
pete_dushenski: either pope's words are his words and stand
as they are, or else they have an alternative and alterior 'meaning' and can be 'charitably interpreted'
wywialm: however, this pope doesn't seem to be bothered by such things
as 'official text'
wywialm: what he says, in particular what he says officially and marks
as his official teaching, is way more important
wywialm: do what he says
as interpreted
as charitably
as possible and in the light of the whole catholic teaching
pete_dushenski: wywialm: because that opens the door to an untold number of personal fantasies,
as has been previously discussed in the logs
thestringpuller: pete_dushenski: "
As such, I would find it absolutely essential, in order to take this question to its logical conclusion, to murder everyone in my constituency extant and to replace them with an army of sterile maleviii clones (perhaps with the help of Monsanto because I hear they’re pretty good at this sort of thing), whom will be raised by robot nannies, so

as the voice of the 'people', but it is clear to me that it is way outside of his mandate
as a pope

as i stated earlier, this depends on the definition of socialism
pete_dushenski: unpleasant
as I possibly can to anyone who dares to crawl through the tunnel. I will try to the best of my ability to make them regret their decision...I'll try my very best to sexually assault him or her. The tunnel is constructed in such a way that it gets smaller the closer you get to the project room. The bigger you are, the more difficult it is to comfortably crawl out. And trust me, I have a lot of secret

as an artistic gesture, it's one of the most impactful I can think of... It dawned on me that if the work [we local artists] created had never existed, the world would be no different than if it had. None of it mattered to anyone outside of our small and insignificant circle of peers. I wanted something that would have more impact...I want to make it clear that I plan to make the experience

mircea_popescu: but basically... it never occured to me that in point of fact bitbet's minimum acts
as a tax. and a lot of other things in here never occured to me. i'm still reeling over the whole pile.

as "cryptocurrencies" on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... (

mircea_popescu: "Ultimately,
as Bitcoin takes over the internet, all non-Bitcoin projects (of any kind) will be treated with the ridicule afforded a US resident who tries to pay for his milk with Japanese yen. Eventually, interest in using a non-Bitcoin will fall to zero. Altcoins, even somehow-useful ones, don’t have a future." << and the proper link for this is, of course,

cazalla: totally to be expected
as well, which is probably why they did it to begin with
pete_dushenski: it's an old, hierarchical industry. architecture moves incredibly slowly. and quite rightly so
as its products ~have~ to last decades, if not centuries.
pete_dushenski: architecture is
as far more about existing buildings, topographies, and spaces
as 'the new stuff'
pete_dushenski: ary. The vehicle could otherwise interpret the test procedure
as a dangerous situation or malfunction, activating traction control or stability control. By enabling a test mode, the vehicle will be able to operate during the test process. Once the test is complete and the car is restarted, the car reverts to its normal function. And once the cars are in on-the-road mode, nitrogen oxide levels increased by 10 to

mircea_popescu: "My design was able to solve a few other PM-problems
as well. Any user can create a market about anything, removing the dual-requirement that a PM-administrator must not only be trustworthy, but also share your prediction-interests. Market scoring rule technology ensures that trading volume is irrelevant, and traders will always be able make a trade updating the price to their estimation (even if they are the only trad

as that level is very high, they are in fact cheaper.
psztorc: Of course,
as I'm sure you know, "credit" comes from the latin "cred-" for "belief/faith"
mircea_popescu:
as the saying goes around here, you might not be interested in fungibility, but that doesn't prevent it from being interested in you.
BingoBoingo: The paper honestly reads to me
as BitBet ad copy
mircea_popescu: "The current market price of these tradable predictions can then be interpreted
as the likelihood of the prediction coming true." << because, why ?

as clear to me, at least not in the way I used them. I only ever dialed into one.
mircea_popescu: "What if you had access to the combined intellectual powers of all mankind? It would be easier for you to make decisions." << you know, not only this does not follow, but the contrary is actually recorded
as anecdotal observation by pretty much all sources. like say russell.
mircea_popescu: gernika a) would you agree that the superset of this inquiry is the bbs and b) would you say it meets definitions of either "forum" or "decentralized"
as you use them ?
gernika: Is it impossible to implement a public forum on a decentralized architecture, such
as a dht?
mircea_popescu: but in the original terms. "in Truthcoin the operations performed are almost exactly the same
as existing Bitcoin transactions".
psztorc: You may be right about whatever you are talking about, but in Truthcoin the operations performed are almost exactly the same
as existing Bitcoin transactions.
mircea_popescu: in this sense, "the earth centralizes the imago-es of all astral bodies,
as their light projection". nevertheless, the earth is not a black hole.
mircea_popescu: but the "meet" in "market" has a different intension from "meet"
as in "sql join".
mircea_popescu: this argument is not even apparent if people were spherical cows in a vacuum. but
as people are, it's impossible to obtain an outcome by opposite process.
