mircea_popescu: for
that matter - i don't even have any objections, which is more of a journalistic achievement
than a pulizer in each hand.
mircea_popescu: certainly a lot better
than
the last
time i read an article on zero hedge.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's a review of
the "best possible construction"./
mircea_popescu: "This is probably
the first large scale opportunity
to see whether unrestricted market forces actually do optimize a supply curve" << major point incidentally.
mircea_popescu: "everyone else i'm giving
tictacs, but since you ask privately, here is
the REAL quantum mechanics"
mircea_popescu: because what, he's gonna give
them
the REAL math in private ?
mircea_popescu: in general,
the sure mark of a stupid yet pretentious student is,
their desire
to
talk
to
the prof "privately".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because you'd
tell something else
than what's in
the log ?
mircea_popescu: (just like if major attorney firm loses major
trial - it's not because
the paralegals sucked)
mircea_popescu: fwiw, my entire intel
thing is fundamentally a fork off ib intel.
mircea_popescu: (the "retail bank" where you go
talk
to a person you don't know
that doesnty know you is really no different from mcdonalds "cuisine". irl, banks work a lot more like
tailors)
mircea_popescu: makes
the social media froth even less comprehensible.
mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, seems as best as i can determine
the consensus in actual us finance.
mircea_popescu: Despite
the fervor in
the Bitcoin community,
the odds are against Bitcoin XT. "This is not
the first attempt
to create a better Bitcoin, but I believe Bitcoin has such critical mass of resources devoted
to it
that it is unlikely anybody would abandon it for an incremental improvement,"says Gil Luria, an analyst at Wedbush Securities. "None has gotten much
traction."
mircea_popescu: the us' been learning
to milk ever more roachy roaches for decades now.
mircea_popescu: of course it sinks at
the juncture where
the cows are actually cockroaches.
mircea_popescu: but
the 100 dollar expenditure on "students" / redditards is absolute genius. get
the fucktards
to believe "nothing else exists", have cows for
the rest of your life.
mircea_popescu: seriously, i can buy a cpu
that outpuits cpu cycles at 500 a second over five years for 500 bucks
mircea_popescu: but it's basically "some adults are giving free chickenfeed so let's
take
that and overturn
the world!"
mircea_popescu: iirc someone explained it on reddit -
they get 100 dollars worth free if
they prove
they're students or some crud.
mircea_popescu: if it bothers you can always drop aws connections at
the firewall level
assbot: Logged on 23-08-2015 01:16:09; ben_vulpes: solve my system of equations goddamnit don't
try
to intuit what i mean
mircea_popescu: so
they got butthurt, and are prosecuting a local
that was involved in
their rape,
they
think.
mircea_popescu: from something
that used
to be a world power and a major empire.
mircea_popescu: this resultd in
their selling an item for less
than it was worth. because
they had no idea what it was worth. becxause it's not
theirs -
they merely inherited it.
mircea_popescu: the slovaks are incompetent fuckwits.
this, because
there's so few of
them it's cheaper
to pretend like
they're a country
than
to seek someone else's administration.
mircea_popescu: and
the nonsense says
that both
the
theoretical position you seek
to defend is rubbish, and
that
the la
times article you seek
to defend it with is both rubbish and wouldn't defend it even if it weren't, and
the it were defensible.
mod6: asciilifeform: i can put up
the individual .vpatch files for you
to review
tomorrow.
assbot: Logged on 23-08-2015 00:42:58; mircea_popescu: incidentally asciilifeform and whoever else is privately
thinking of reimplementing pgp : one
thing i'd dearly love would be
the ability

to "l1".
assbot: Logged on 23-08-2015 00:32:28; mircea_popescu: punkman yes of course. just as soon as

towards it.
