mircea_popescu: i wonder, incidentally, how, when or if will the us-style feminist conceptualize that her notions of gender identity and female rights imposes a significant cost on the community, and
as a result ensures a) its downfal and b) the mass rape of most females and some males dumb enough to have participated, deserved,
as spoils of war.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, today's discussion of the 1% ratchet should, if nothing else, serve
as a burning icon of how exactly consensus is sought.
pete_dushenski: "Cryptographer and digital currency researcher Nick Szabo, who many believe to be the real identity behind Satoshi Nakamoto, has stated that a rapid block size increase is “a huge security risk” and “a reckless act to be performing on a $4 billion system.” Szabo made the remarks
as part of the ongoing debate over the Bitcoin block size, which continues to draw in major players from across the community.
As trinque: damn, I need to start using progre
as a slur
mircea_popescu: that the stupidity discounted
as broken a century ago is still the state of the art for these people should concern them.

mircea_popescu: " We thank everybody for sharing their perception
as together we will make new findings."
BingoBoingo: jurov: You've never had fried or stewed peanuts
as an accompanyment to catfish?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: You said
as much when discussing BitBet colors and the gray side and the blue side
mircea_popescu: it is the exact example case you wish for your argument, and it's a pity to not reference it (especially because it connotes not-done-homework for they in the actual know
as to the topics you discuss re law and precedent etc)
BingoBoingo: If ethereum ever entirely works
as promised plan on x86 ring-0 exploits routinely becoming parts of "contracts"
mircea_popescu: might
as well take a discussion of "dilution is medicine" and write a sci-fi work about how a universe with this would look like.
mircea_popescu: wilbns so outright i see the following problem : you discuss ethereum at the maximal outskirts of what its proponents presnet it
as. this is not unlike taking a ponzi schemer's "idea" and pretending it would be a central bank, then discussing how "it regulates financial flows". rank nonsense.
assbot: Logged on 17-08-2015 18:45:12; nubbins`: it looks like they literally copied the /r/bitcoin header, magic-wand-selected the background, paint-bucketed it blue, tacked on "xt" and saved it
as a jpeg
mircea_popescu: given that the alternative is "raise an army", and given that "iof you raise an army, might
as well sell the captured women into slavery and cultivate poppies", people who don't particularly like the sight of moaning, chained women and heroin addicts have little choice.
assbot: Logged on 17-08-2015 15:47:21; shinohai: Somehow that seems just

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> the reason nbc doesn't do this is because it doesnt' exist
as a market yo. << The do it on cable, call it Univision.
nubbins`: just
as likely it'll push smallies out of the picture
mircea_popescu: ascii_field this,
as a principle, is in no way argued against. it is exactly true. the proposal is that
as restrained, it would not be harmful.
mircea_popescu: the reason nbc doesn't do this is because it doesnt' exist
as a market yo.
ascii_field: mike_c: i very much see the ratcheting increase
as an 'enemy-can-spend-fixing to cost-me-fixint-multipled-by-forever'
trinque: williamdunne: my point was simply that "I could X
as long
as I find a rich guy that wants to help" isn't much of a strategy, much less so if you can't demonstrate upon meeting said rich guy that you can execute
williamdunne: An exchange,
as per previous mentions. Unfortunately though it will have KYC so mabbeh less interesting for people on #b-a, ofc that's for ya'll to decide
mircea_popescu: let's start with some assumptions : that
as is, pogos can survive for 2 years before they fill. that if blocks were to be made 2mb, they'd survive 1 year instead.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field let us calculate the actual case of the pogo, shall we ?
as an exercise, mostl;y for my own edification.
mircea_popescu: irl, settlement's a paperwoirk affair and actual delivery is much disconsidered.
as a token of the fact that everyone involved would muchly want reality to match their representation to the degree of absolute identity. so they desconsider the later.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: do you imagine this bullion thing
as it "Should be" or do you have direct experience ?
ascii_field: all the world's bullion transfers, if written out
as a log, would they even fill 1MB in a year?
ascii_field: same problem
as a hypothetical monotonically growing mining difficulty.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: imho the algo
as written here is disastrously bad
assbot: Logged on 17-08-2015 09:12:53; mircea_popescu: a function that, after each retarget, allows blocks
as large
as say 1.01x the average actual size of the blocks in the 2k batch for instance.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field
as to the later, no reason.
as to the former, no idea. i suffer from the disease of all cerebral beings, of enjoying the consideration of abstract problems in no direct relation to their practical utility.

thestringpuller: trinque: says rsync
as I'm installing it and conetmplating it for take unrelated to channel
trinque: but
as ascii_field observed a while back, they do that so you have the opportunity to fuck up before them
shinohai: Somehow that seems just
as bad

☟︎ ascii_field: they get 'not enough' - they ~die~ and are replaced by folks who don't need
as much.
mircea_popescu: so tell her "listen, i want to hear the speaker to i can mock him
as well."
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: well I wanted to hear the speaker so I could mock him on Twitter
as well, so I didn't have time for a protracted conversation with the stupid cow
cazalla: punkman, i imagine they only discuss bitcoin
as the embassy whereas here, it is a little different.. gentleman's club
as one article states
mircea_popescu: but it horribru or not horribru - a) we are currently keeping state, just,
as a constant and b) there is no way to make pie-in-the-sky arbitrary values work.
mircea_popescu: there has not yet been
as much
as a signle day of straight full blocks.

☟︎ Adlai: miner's chicken. they may all support 42TB blocks,
as long
as the other guy mines them first
mircea_popescu: "Attempting to buy time with a fast increase is not wanting to face that reality, and treating the system
as something whose scale trumps all other concerns. A long term scalability plan should aim on decreasing the need for trust required in off-chain systems, rather than increasing the need for trust in Bitcoin." etc
punkman: "“Not everything is for everyone and that’s the way it is,” he said, teeth gleaming indifferently. His theories about shoes were tinged, predictably, with a seeming misogyny. They come, he insisted, with a great deal of “sexual energy” – which is perhaps just
as well,
as the only thing it’s possible to do in a pair of his heels is lie down."

BingoBoingo: "This version is indistinguishable from Bitcoin XT 0.11A except that it will not actually hard fork to BIP101, yet appears on the p2p network
as Bitcoin XT 0.11A replete with features, yet at a consensus level behaves just like Bitcoin Core 0.11. If it is used to mine, it will produce XT block versions without actually supporting >1MB blocks."
shinohai: He may
as well have sucked Gavin's cock
as far
as r/bitcoin is concerned.
ben_vulpes: the communists came through the apartments recently
as well, installing low-flow faucet hobbles
btcdrak: I'm officially registered
as an ass now. reddit will be pleased. next stop t/buttcoin. Jealous of petertodd who got mod status
assbot: Logged on 08-09-2014 22:35:52; mircea_popescu: "Thank you for this clarification Mr. Nakamoto. It has been an honor to be labeled by my friends
as "Satoshi's Drunk Uncle" and it's a moniker I'll wear proudly until the day I retire from Crypto. The Goldcoin (GLD) developers truly admire your work and strive to continue improving upon its design
as a tribute to your unparallelled genius. Your admirer and relative in spirit, MicroGuy."
mircea_popescu: The developers of this pretender-Bitcoin claim to be following my original vision, but nothing could be further from the truth. When I designed Bitcoin, I designed it in such a way
as to make future modifications to the consensus rules difficult without near unanimous agreement. Bitcoin was designed to be protected from the influence of charismatic leaders, even if their name is Gavin Andresen, Barack Obama, or Satos

phf: i went to costa rica recently, bad food, bad services, one city for the whole country which essentially consists of 5 street blocks of what i would recognize
as a city. but the beach was nice, can rent a boat and go diving, etc.
pete_dushenski: reddit has all the merit of the national enquirer and about
as much believability
phf: i saw hook suspension
as part of religious ceremony in souther india, they put a lot more showmanship into the whole process then u.s. bdsm crowd. between music, dancing and the general revelry, it's very impressive

mircea_popescu: "he is guilty, he reprsented his research
as relevant!"
BingoBoingo remembers owning a perhaps poor translation of the communist manifesto that suggested ho trains
as a replacement for marriage.
BingoBoingo: Fuck, I misrepresent Qntra to fellow USians
as mowing lawns
mircea_popescu:
as if there exists anyone in the verbiage side of the us who doesn't,
as a principal actiuvity, misrepresent their work.
