asciilifeform: understand, these weren't even scamcoinz
mircea_popescu: pushing the point a little, neh ? i mean what, even the first basic qualification thing for bitcoin is not a week old.
asciilifeform: dated in the past year
asciilifeform: srsly, that thumbdrive shit blew me away, it's like you were walking in a medical school campus and found a disk full of guides to bloodletting
mircea_popescu: "what, with the relevant bits safely pushed away, the pudendal shield pressing against the nose. LOGIC!"
assbot: Bitcoin and the Separation of Money and State - Money and State ... ( http://bit.ly/1LvZYqI )
mircea_popescu: because you'd have to be pretty high to imagine THAT is how eating cunt works.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for reference, this is the same mega-citadeloflearning where elaine shi and andrew miller ply their trade
assbot: Logged on 26-08-2015 02:31:23; asciilifeform: and the required reading dir is full of 'whitepapers' concerning 1990s-style centralized shitpal-esque 'coins'
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-08-2015#1252258 << clearly community college's keeping up with the times. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: this is the deep dark secret they don't want to face. the "effaceable" trend on social media is just that - another expression of the fundamental truth that social media does not matter.
mircea_popescu: ironically this isn't either. who gives a shit what derps say on twitter.
asciilifeform: not that many practical applications for maxint ip
mircea_popescu: except you get a few thousand meaningless pages per day or something. but those are mere parameters. the idea is the same.
assbot: Twitter Forbids Monitoring Politicians' Deleted Tweets | Qntra ... ( http://bit.ly/1LvZMrB )
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo http://qntra.net/2015/08/twitter-forbids-monitoring-politicians-deleted-tweets/#comment-45453 << incidentally the man is right. social media (perhaps pioneered by twitter, when they were trying to get google to spread the fake money by paying for access) have been using something very much akin to the "unheard of" trilema paid content scheme.
Casper-: no, nothing specific, i'm just trying to figure out who like to read that's all, i've liked Eric
mircea_popescu: got a specific text in mind ?
Casper-: Hey, i've read some of your stuff (qntra, contravex, dilema). is there a list of guys who's opinion you respect? e.g. more blogs/twitter
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo was this because "no longer silver" or because "no longer a consideration", as in "sterling promise" ?
asciilifeform: but what matter. it ought to resolve, and leech
mircea_popescu: loper-os.org/pub goes to loper-os.nfshost.com/pub/ if you care.
mircea_popescu: pre bitcoin nobody had any fucking idea what computing even is supposed to be.
mircea_popescu: unsigned i take it.
mircea_popescu: "what language is this ?!"
mircea_popescu: anyway. at least in romania's 90s, the life of a young theoretical physicist was ~90% derive and the rest chicken scribblings of the kind you mention.
mircea_popescu: but yeah, i was explaining to the 5yo plane composition and shit.
mircea_popescu: it actually was so good the baby brother of a friend mostly wanted to "play derive" when he visited.
asciilifeform: that one remembers fondly, a decade or two later.
asciilifeform: back to 'derive' - there are so, so few proggies that are so ~pants-creamingly~ good at what they do,
mircea_popescu: if you're willing to set it up.
asciilifeform: ought to beat shovel
mircea_popescu: anyway. the notion that you can get a computer to "do your derivation" is exactly like the notion that you can get a computer to "do your thing"
asciilifeform: and ported to the 'texas instruments 89' calculator ?
asciilifeform: didja know that it is in mulisp !
mircea_popescu lived with the exact same problem, even in the old days of derive.exe
asciilifeform: srsly the whole computer thing never quite happened.
asciilifeform just got back from the house of a phriend who, i shit thee not, filled two notebooks with one derivation, pen and paper, because ~none of the computeralgebrasystems he could find were able to swallow it~
mircea_popescu: well then guess what ?
mircea_popescu: "oh, i couldnb't afford to live here if i had to rent"
mircea_popescu: and hiding the cost of real estate from yourself (i don't rent, i own!) is just bad business
asciilifeform: i rent my bldg. and wouldn't like to have it any other way. unless were so loaded that i could throw it away like a toothbrush if it gets tiresome.
mircea_popescu: hm. how did that thing work
asciilifeform: or as with the toddler example,
mircea_popescu: lol i don't give that much of a shit. but i also wouldn't want to own.
asciilifeform: if this were my flat i'd hook up antiphase speaker to the pipe
mircea_popescu: it's about, if i had to guess, 20khz. and prolly was there before but w/e, 8khz or somerthing
asciilifeform has vague memories of this as a boy
asciilifeform: water, rather than air hammer. not 100% laminar flow!
mircea_popescu: and it goes on after you turn it off, for like 5 minutes
asciilifeform: who said plumbers don't need to stay awake in diff. eq. !
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, this isn';t that. you turn on the water, and five minutes later the whole thing bellows. no banging.
asciilifeform: (piston of known tension in a cylindrical vessel, attaches to a pipehead)
asciilifeform: in usa this is pestilential in old flats and there is a - partial - fix
mircea_popescu: and one unlucky repair, even one just-such-weight faucet can make the whole thing an organ)
asciilifeform: waterhammer, they call it here.
mircea_popescu: (for they unfamiliar : old pipes in old buildings have, like any other rigid formation, resonancy frequencies.
mircea_popescu: in other news, this building is easily 200 years old, the pipes are certainly solid steel, and they got the curse
mircea_popescu: which is fine, whosoever can do whatever the fuck they do, but this voting braindamage...
assbot: Logged on 16-02-2014 22:04:18; asciilifeform: they pass an old man who says, 'don't drown this fellow. i'll feed him dumplings, he won't have to do any work but to dip them'
assbot: Logged on 26-08-2015 05:20:15; mircea_popescu: heck, give fathers back the power to shoot toddlers that don't obey commands, see the "demographics problems" end overnight.
assbot: Logged on 26-08-2015 04:39:34; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-08-2015#1252200 << remind me briefly what exactly is is that makes you think you belong here.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-08-2015#1252289 << the lulzy part is that, iirc, the man writes tradebots himself! ☝︎
mircea_popescu: heck, give fathers back the power to shoot toddlers that don't obey commands, see the "demographics problems" end overnight. ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: so why'd they shoot the toddler BingoBoingo ? was it the "officer felt his life endangered" or was it "toddler didn't obey comamnds"
assbot: Logged on 26-08-2015 00:34:51; trinque: BingoBoingo: sounds a bit like this news I'm reading of the "market rally" "disintegrating".
mircea_popescu: now that's a point
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The pretense. As the Obeast loses distinctive sex characteristics it overcompensates in adopting cultural signifiers.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-08-2015#1252207 << why does the woman get a bra! same boobs... ☝︎
mircea_popescu: fucking "votes", like that's how it works now.
mircea_popescu: i get it, you leech and wish to complain about how the content you leech is packaged. this makes sense in your alt-universe ?
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-08-2015#1252200 << remind me briefly what exactly is is that makes you think you belong here. ☝︎☟︎
mod6: low was 0.00014430 on mar. 23rd according to btcalpha ☟︎
BingoBoingo remembers MPOE under 2 not that long ago
BingoBoingo: Ah and here's assbot feed's best part. Keeps the conversation going.
Adlai: Logged on 26-08-2015 02:57:57; Adlai: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-08-2015#1252204 << apparently this is not obvious, but the principle reason i'm here is that convenient nucleation in the superheated fluid of trollcoin ☝︎
BingoBoingo: gernika: thanks, fixed
gernika: BingoBoingo: something's wrong with this sentence I think: "Vaizey instead want to part the buyer and his purchase to part in a sale as has happened previously when 'cultural' export bans have been applied to artifacts."
thestringpuller: mod6 def knows the type.
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: but very commonly they (at least the native ones) have 'agricultural face'
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i'ma let you finished but what level of hotness are the sorority girls at said uni?
asciilifeform: and the required reading dir is full of 'whitepapers' concerning 1990s-style centralized shitpal-esque 'coins' ☟︎
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Interesting trap in thumbdrive?
BingoBoingo was surptised when joining #bitcoin-asset-trades just how much stuf didn't make the cut for arriving here
asciilifeform: sooo i was out walking by the uni, and found a thumb drive
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ... << l0l, i always imagined mircea_popescu had a wooden panel full of analogue gauges for mpex, a ship's telegraph for changing course, and a speaking horn for dictating more complex orders << I imagine at times even the ships captain wants to step away from the bridge for a bit of sodomy without being completely cut off

assbot: Trust relationship from user BingoBoingo to user smickles: Level 1: 0, Level 2: 7 via 7 connections. |http://www.btcalpha.com/wot/trust/?from=BingoBoingo&to=smickles | http://www.btcalpha.com/wot/user/smickles/
gribble: smickles was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 year, 10 weeks, 6 days, 21 hours, 48 minutes, and 50 seconds ago: <smickles> easily a few more bil in things like BPOs and BPCs
BingoBoingo prefers those nice well paved country roads that don't have marked "lanes" (because why mark up the tarmac when tractors obliviate much things?)
Adlai: and unfortunately (from the perspective of "fail earlier oftener louder faster stronger") usually just results in returning to the lane
Adlai: nah, actually leaving the lane is clearer
trinque: never a clearer sign the guy isn't
mats: he was high and literally said, "i'm not going to crash the car, man" five seconds before he went off the road ☟︎
mats: the driver hadn't turned off the dance music yet and it felt like i was in a B rated movie
BingoBoingo: I like to think of QE as the bog the car was driven into because OMG a skunk. To avoid the pain of a honest crash the doors became embeded too deep to allow exit from the vehicle
trinque: could toss it in a ditch, could engulf it and continue on, who knows!
trinque: heh, the QE was a mudslide that lifted the car up, carried it along in the same direction for a bit
BingoBoingo: All of that QE was mud.
