mircea_popescu: i think youy maybe haven'
t seen so many whores at work.
mircea_popescu: it's mostly opportunity cost. she spends her time with you, she can'
t be at the blackjack table smooching.
phf: but unlike ascii i don'
t have any aversion to shit jobs as long as they pay max and take up min time
phf: i don'
t actually have any reason to stay in dc long term, maybe another few months to a year
mircea_popescu: " Where a man can hide and never be found and have no fear of the bayin' hounds. But he better keep movin' and don'
t stand still. If the 'skeeters don'
t get then the 'gaters will"
phf: asciilifeform: was dreading coming back to dc, it didn'
t disappoint. it's already getting clammy
mircea_popescu: i can'
t help but think i'm so blessed to not care about fan noise, loudspeakers, monitors et all.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> kakobrekla: as far as im concerned if it had ONE moving part, it is rubbish. << Aha, this goes to the power tool dilemma where unless paying out the ass everything is made by TTI in china and it is a competition between which TTI reseller do you trust most to preserve their battery platform. Not directly connected to this utterance of yours, but for some reason this is the one brian in the head clicked the thread
t nubbins`: don'
t even have speakers hooked up to it
nubbins`: would recognize from a picture, but can'
t recall any details
nubbins`: yeah, as soon as i said, i figured that much muck wouldn'

pete_dushenski: or they want to live plenty and don'

assbot: Logged on 10-03-2016 23:10:07; mircea_popescu: but otherwise, it's not workable, and it wouldn'
t be workable for trump.
mircea_popescu: but otherwise, it's not workable, and it wouldn'
t be workable for trump.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i wouldn'
t take this failure to be more informative than it is. the technology never entered into discussion, it failed on economic grounds.
mircea_popescu: not to say it is your fault, tho. but i can see why it didn'
t sell, needn'
t any conspiracy to explain it.
mircea_popescu: anyway, if you don'
t have the experience to discuss typical, discuss case study. the one time you tried this.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t care how fucking different they are. typical case will be had or the sky falls.
mircea_popescu: i have no idea, but that doesn'
t mean it's not your job to.
mircea_popescu: you wouldn'
t expect to come out of your bosses' cake, on a day's notice, would you.
mircea_popescu: well guaranteedly you can'
t make any mircea_popescu 's thus, they'd simply burn down your world.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if it makes you feel better, i'd buy it for the putative chemistry lab i don'
t run.
PeterL: I guess I don'
t see what you would do instead?
mircea_popescu: which i suppose is as good an explanation as any as to why i don'
t marry : i own my equipment.
PeterL: Okay .... I don'
t know where you got the idea any equipment borrowing is going on here?
mircea_popescu: "how to fly!" "don'
t be poor" < works. "how to cold fusion" "Don'
t be poor" < fails. what'd money do ?
PeterL: as mircea_popescu always says, "don'
t be poor"
mircea_popescu: and i have not to date hired anyone to do anything whatsoever i don'
t know how to do myself. how would i pay them ?
mircea_popescu: this doesn'
t abdicate your role, and she would be wise to mary you in this arrangement, yes ?
PeterL: <mircea_popescu> PeterL and if you tell the head manager that this is a miserable abdication from his job - which is to assure you the stuff will work no matter what, he says ? << If the equipment does not work the way it is supposed to, we speak to our contact and he fixes it, I don'
t see any abdication of job by manager here?
assbot: Logged on 07-03-2016 23:26:24; assbot: Logged on 07-03-2016 23:20:09; mircea_popescu: you think you're running a node, because, symptomatically, in the windows definition of running code (hey, click items till it works) you are. but the sense of running code contemplated for bitcoin is negative, not positive, and you don'
t know how to check for that nor do you specifically care.
PeterL: <thestringpuller> I haven'
t had to reinstall windows on my gaming rig in 3 years << I havn'
t had to reinstall the OS on my mac in 9 years, it mostly sorta still works
thestringpuller: I haven'
t had to reinstall windows on my gaming rig in 3 years.
shinohai: I wasn'
t aware you could use "Windows" and "Security" in same expression?
thestringpuller: i don'
t think there are any grants for turning led into gold
trinque: funkenstein_: it makes more sense for you to make your own decisions about which patches you like, and if I don'
t like it I'm free to alter your patch to suit me
assbot: Logged on 20-02-2016 23:42:04; mircea_popescu: you don'
t "release" a patch.
funkenstein_: also if people don'
t like a patch SN which you have in the base, they will not get to use your patch
trinque: oh I don'
t know, learning math?
mod6: ah. i think you can let it go. we've got 'thebitcoin.foundation' for at least the next 4 years iirc. (good until 2020), and im not sure about therealbitcoin.com -- i didn'
t register that one.
danielpbarron: isn'
t that another "if you have to ask" sorta things?
mircea_popescu: anyway. konspiraci isn'
t, on reflection and review, much of a persuasive explanation here.
mircea_popescu: anyway, thanks god for kakobrekla's idea of implementing that calculator on site, otherwise with bets like these that draw loads of noobs (i don'
t mean to bitrcoin, or to betting, i mean to thinking) we'd have had degrees of magnitude more idiotic spew.
mircea_popescu: he is actually in one of those god forsaken places, doesn'
t matter which.
assbot: Logged on 10-03-2016 13:36:51; punkman: anyway, doesn'
t hurt to come up with a pricetag. who knows maybe the satoshi hoard might move this year.
mircea_popescu: if there could be solid weapon in 1/2-1y, you would have long ago been free man. that you aren'
t makes the proposition rather dubious.
mircea_popescu: and you don'
t see how jumping from that to this is exactly panic ?
assbot: Logged on 10-03-2016 12:57:10; *: asciilifeform doesn'
t expect to get to eat lsd in his natural lifespam, just as doesn'
t expect a real tailored suit or to sail on a dirigible
mircea_popescu: i don'
t see the future well enough to judge what chances we have, but i do see the future well enough to see that if you have no horse in a race, you can'
t win it.
mircea_popescu: so basically you propose - wait and see on trb, meanwhile i'll also develop a fork variant which i won'
t either share or have ready in time ?
mircea_popescu: anyway - what isn'
t a strategy is "if the bad thing happens i'll get really butthurt".
mircea_popescu: there is a very specific danger which you perhaps are not seeing. if indeed we continu with trb as is, and if indeed 3) happens, as these two share pow and we don'
t control .7 or so exahash we become extremelty vulnerable. recall the fate of altcoin ?
mircea_popescu: in any case trb isn'
t going anywhere, nor need it go anywhere.
mircea_popescu: so in this sense, your objections as stated don'
t cut anything.
mircea_popescu: 2. is the usable interim continuation of the bitcoin prototype. which, obviously, doesn'
t HAVE TO exist at all points to 1, but it may help if it does. we're here mostly discussing 2, i think.
punkman: diana_coman: i just hated everything about it. moving/finding things in inventory, trying to equip things and and ending up with phantom copies if I didn'
t click just right. Trying to walk and floating at a 45 degree angle, falling to death off smooth hills. The claim sticks that are "points" in space and keys and... I dunno. I suppose some of that might have changed already.
thestringpuller: Turning Planeshift + Crystalspace into Unity is like turning Bitcoin into Visa, so I don'
t think it should be a job for anyone.
