mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there is something there i think but not usable
as is
mike_c: not
as much
as a certification, cuz i don't gives a fuk, but
as a reading list. like, if you can't answer this, go research it.
mircea_popescu: the way this test is designed, not only is lying a theft against oneself,
as these things usually are - but moreover it leaves a trail and there's something to bitterly regret later.
mircea_popescu: this
as a rule of the universe, not avoidable. perfectly deterministic anything and everything.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let's for a second presume,
as a thought experiment, that magically any call to a random function returned 5.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i won't even touch 'b' << I might work on answering the b problems
as they materialize
mircea_popescu: just - the broad scheme should be visible, so might
as well share.
pete_dushenski: ^saw local production of fiddler last night
as part of 'the fringe' festival (
as was covered in recent contravex reviews). unfortunately, other than a hell of a tevye and a rather lovely hodel, the cast of 45 was unbearably atrocious
mircea_popescu: "had a cunt 5years ago, still has it - clearly qualified
as woman"
mircea_popescu: same thing
as the color test was. or should have been,
mircea_popescu: and im very fond of the sea for just
as long
as the distance between us is my decision.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: will the eyes scale? if a lot of cipher text turds are being thrown around you'd have to have a lot of eyes,
as I can't imagine this scaling very well.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform thinking about it, "choose this profession" thing might be the distillate of the issue. on one hand, the evidence that suchg a thinbg
as "choosing your profession" even exuists in nature is slight at best. take the longstanding observation that "a young researcher will end up in that field where he encounters the first success".
trinque: I don't want to spend another morning farting around with something
as inconsequential
as an RSS plugin
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it wasn't discussed
as anything more than a very vague possibility. just, your objections got rejected is all!
mircea_popescu: the rent in romania article i linked coupla weeks ago was discussing "affordability" in terms of, "to people makinmg 400 euro per month
as an avg salary".
mats: i'll be surprised if mp sticks around shenzhen
as long
as he does buenos aires
assbot: Logged on 24-08-2015 04:44:57; asciilifeform: in fact, i saw these,
as a boy, and they permanently defined what 'advertising' means in my head.
mircea_popescu: should be fun once pgp is implemented properly
as full rsa.
PeterL: I mean, they are not bad
as kids shows, but still definitely aimed at kids and not adults
thestringpuller: PeterL: How is Teen Titans Go
as just a show? (Did you ever see the Teen Titans from the early 2000's?)
punkman: "SexyCyborg says, while her choice of clothing might be shocking to Westerners, people in Shenzhen couldn't give two bits!
As seen in her numerous scantily clad photos with lots of disinterested pedestrians in the background."
punkman: jurov:
as reported by coindesk?
mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, seems
as best
as i can determine the consensus in actual us finance.
assbot: Logged on 23-08-2015 00:32:28; mircea_popescu: punkman yes of course. just
as soon
as there's observable value everywhere a horde of shitheads with spoons are moving towards it.
assbot: Logged on 23-08-2015 05:05:26; assbot: Ashley Madison Suicide: Man On Hacked List Kills Himself
As Users Try To Remove Their Names From Ashley Madison Leaked List ... (

mircea_popescu: really, reddit
as a concentration camp for shitheads is not nearly going far enough.
mircea_popescu: leaving probably r/buttcoin
as the schellign point, which honestly...
mircea_popescu: "Some time back altcoins were thought to be potential challengers to BTC. But
as time went on we realised that BTC was never going to be removed from the throne.
assbot: Logged on 22-08-2015 18:50:57; mircea_popescu: what part of doublethink you think got cancelled ? the man with two maja desnudas simply is twice
as happy.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: i'd seriously consider publishing trilema
as such if a way for this existed.
mircea_popescu: <trinque> or if it did on some forkchain, who cares? that one will inflate << and for a while it will be "just
as good
as bitcoin" except "better", like all other scamcoins to date. like ethereum, and next before it, and aurora coin before it, and solidcoin before it and so on.
mircea_popescu: punkman yes of course. just
as soon
as there's observable value everywhere a horde of shitheads with spoons are moving towards it.
☟︎ phf: ben_vulpes: -p doesn't seem to do the same thing on os x
as --parents does in gnu cp
mircea_popescu: humanity
as it chooses to understand itself is the chief enemy, actually, and also the author of shit like the gnu diff. and everything else.
mircea_popescu: b-a is not a fucking gift "to humanity"
as that "humanity" chooses to understand itself. b-a is a gift to humanity
as defined by b-a.
mircea_popescu: a) twitter is a piece of shit web 2.0 item. they are probably hacked by 4 different teams
as we speak and they don't even known
mircea_popescu: lmao twitter now sucks uisers phone number
as a "security" thijg too ?
mircea_popescu: antonosika no, that's not what it says. the contract creates no nude obligation to pay, which may be satisfied, and then a separate and ulterior consideration
as to whom.
antonosika: asciilifeform: hypothetically -
as long
as there is only one suggestion, from an impostor or not, for what account to make a payment to AND the contract finalises, wouldn't a future delivery contract state that a payment should take place?
antonosika: hypothetically,
as long
as there is only one suggestion for what account to make a payment to and the contract finiliz
antonosika: If I do not have access to my backup key, and have a new comp - what proof would work to claim the long party
as antonosika?
mircea_popescu: for the record, it's not even clear moving from bearer to certified insturment is anti-liberty. for insmtance - hansa used the certifierd instrument greatly, because
as a merchant, giving your son a plain "pay the bearer so much silver upon presentation of this note in such town" was merely an invitation to any highwayman on route to "please fuck this young man in the ass and here's the pay for your trouble"
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: technically money, in its circulatory form (ie, currency - to distinguish from the money
as unit of account, for instance) was coins and bank-notes. coins are now disused, for entirely practical reasons ; and bank-notes come in those two flavours. moving from one to the other isn't THAT big a leap.
mircea_popescu: so you say "they came
as locusts" ? so did we. ask the power rangers.
mircea_popescu: they keep pumping more kids in
as they need to keep the denominations low enough.
mircea_popescu: so i do not credit it nearly
as much
as you two seem to.
