mircea_popescu: this is
the point easily missed. "oh, bitcoin is a 5 bn dollar system". no it's fucking not lol.
mircea_popescu: you
think
the fucktards writing "gawker" and all its clones are getting paid ?
thjey aren't.
they do it because i won't
take
them
to work for qntra, and
they imagine
that if
they persevere
they can somehow prevail without needing
to actually do
the hard work.
mircea_popescu: people in
the camp work for a) promises of future and b) mortgage-and-meal
tickets.
mircea_popescu: " whatever other
things
the rogue's gallery of stoolies, shills, miscellaneous usg vermin got in reward for
their collaboration, coin does not appear
to be among
them" <<< ahahahaha. fucking DOH. not even usg is
this fucking stupid. albeit
this is not deliberately, just,
the low level idiots have no access
to any btc and
the high level doods know better. but for
that matter : usg employees don't even get fiat.
mircea_popescu: but by
the
time one
talks forks
to
that level, some sort of much different bitcoin would be on
the
table anyway. with ring signatures and various other items.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, it's plenty applicable, if one
talks forks.
assbot: petertodd comments on Leaked Btc Foundation Digest (2013) - complete with confessed NSA stoolies, planned lies
to public, etc. ... (
http://bit.ly/1UbtuUK )
mircea_popescu: which... whatevs. growing up happens
to
the best of 'em.
mircea_popescu: there's an immense pile of people who "don't agree with mp" as if
that's some sort of vanity prop.
mircea_popescu: that's what not agreeing with me usually means.
that you got some horse droppings in a portion of your brain.
assbot: You rated user slush on 20-Aug-2015, with a rating of -10, and supplied
these additional notes: fuckwit.
punkman: kakobrekla: no
that's when petertodd sent
the money
to Dillon
mircea_popescu looks for
the "as mp said a few months ago", doesn't find it, doesn't give a shit.
punkman: oh wrong link, 1FfmbHfnpaZjKFvyi1okTjJJusN455paPH was supposed
to be gmaxwell's address
assbot: Leaked Btc Foundation Digest (2013) - complete with confessed NSA stoolies, planned lies

jurov: ;;later
tell felipelalli btc-dev l2 keys are updated once per day, if your emails still aren't accepted, i'll check it it on weekend (currently abroad, no access)
mircea_popescu: progress is what happens when everything gradually goes
to shit
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the whole as is down, being worked on, dulap should be back later.
mircea_popescu: prolly went
to sergent blackforce
the 9th power or w/e
kakobrekla: so
the 5 btc went
to buy silk road stuff ?
assbot: Logged on 25-08-2015 13:20:26; kakobrekla: i dont see why
the idiots dont
take
the leap and
think
that limited block size may actually give some small value
to
their beloved alts
assbot: A leak in
the bitcoin reddit, shows private messages between bitcoin developers included litecoin head developer : litecoin ... (
http://bit.ly/1JWm0Wn )
mircea_popescu: lemme dig it up,
then you can watch it
then i can say something pithy about it
mircea_popescu: i'm curious if
the size of
that empire will allow
the young and clueless mining derps be squashed by decade-old us foreign policy
technology
that
their older, more politically central counterparts have long ago figured how
to sink
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if
the chinese are actually fucktarded enough
to allow usg
to not get its wish but nevertheless move
the window in not getting it, we'll probably not only de-thread it but rewrite
the whole sheband, and with a better pow algo at
that.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, our friends' apparently well intended conundrum is i
think illustrative for
the woe betid
the modern man, asked
to come up with "votes" on matters so far removed from his understanding.
mircea_popescu: no argument. was just pounding
the more
theoretical side of
things.
mircea_popescu: so it can run "this
timeslicing is no longer supporterd please run upgrade"
mircea_popescu: i do not
think
there ever existed a "single
task programmable computer" yet, in spite of convincing early ibm emulation. you either get signal processing or multi
tasking
mircea_popescu: just
the fact
that "these pages don't get swapped" would prolly 3x
the whole
thing or some shit
assbot: Logged on 25-08-2015 13:16:07; asciilifeform: wyrdmantis: on
top of
this, but not last, is
the fact
that context switches happen and your cached pages are regularly evicted
to admit crud
lobbes: ;;later
tell
trinque is deedbot- handling phuctor now
too? No worries either way; I just want
to make sure our gears are
turning in-sync
mircea_popescu: i mean... what's
the connection between core11.hetzner.de and verizon-gni.net
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dunno, seems
to be blackholed somehow.
the server itself is fine.
the looking into continues.
lobbes: thestringpuller: lol. Well
there's somethin' about
the 'pure' nicotine
that doesn't do it for me with e-cigs.
Though BB's point about MAOI persisting in 'traditional'
tobacco smoke perhaps makes more sense
thestringpuller: i've always
thought e-cigs can wane you off more easily
than other
things because you can cram so much nicotine in
the juice
phf: asciilifeform: i
think
there's a range.
there's an ecigar (not sure how it's called) place next door, which is favored by asians and blacks. actually pipes are large and made out of machined parts, but produce massive amounts of smoke.
they source nicotine oil separately, and my impression is
that you can get anything from dodgy chinese stuff with flavors like "coca cola bubble gum"
to u.s. local hand extracted
tobacco oil
BingoBoingo: A little soap can't be
that bad for
the lungs
punkman: BingoBoingo: what do you
think about inhaling glycerine/propylene-glycol?
BingoBoingo: I dunno if
there is a cheaper way
to get nicotine, even for pesticide
than extracting from
tobacco
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I have
to imagine extracted. Even pesticide grade nicotine is
typically extracted and
then isolated
to my knowledge.
This package says extracted from
tobacco, but RJ Reynolds is not in my WoT
to
the extent I can
take
that on face value.
BingoBoingo: But maybe it is in
this mix, only
testing can confirm
BingoBoingo: lobbes: My
theory is
they need
to include more
than
the nicotine.
There's actually a pretty potent MAOI in
tobacco
that persists in
the smoke
lobbes: I
think I crave
that as much as
the nicotine heh
lobbes: to make
them a
true replacement
though, I
think
they'd need
to simulate
the ammonia and arsenic et al.
