decimation: "Police and a witness interviewed said passengers trapped in the moving train huddled at both ends of the car and watched in horror as Spires punched 24-year-old Kevin Joseph Sutherland until he fell to the floor, then stabbed him until he was dead. Court documents say the victim was cut or stabbed 30 or 40 times, in the chest, abdomen, back, side and arms. " ☟︎

asciilifeform: esp. given as it is denominated in zimbabwean unit
asciilifeform: american automobility has a very short life expectancy as a going concern

decimation: if you wanna waste electricity like that, might as well just split water and use hydrogen
decimation: yeah, as in pumping to high lake and draining when needed, like this plant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinorwig_Power_Station
asciilifeform: as in, gigantic bottles.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just as ellaborate on the other side.
mircea_popescu: some earthworms find incredible caches of forgotten artefacts. doth not qualify them as archeologists.
decimation: honestly elon musk strikes me as a highbrow scammer
decimation: "Most oil-fired steam locomotives used Bunker C, although in some parts of the country they actually burned raw crude oil. As noted before, Bunker C was readily available and dirt cheap. (Steve Lee, April 18, 2000, via email to The Streamliner discussion group)"
asciilifeform: 'I know there has been concerning news about the NSA overstepping its bounds regarding data collection and the US government's lack of action. I have worked closely with many government officials. What may appear as an erosion of our constitutional rights, are actually programs critically important to the safety of our country. Without the NSA data gathering programs, there would have already been a "Cyber 9/11". Unfortunately
asciilifeform: decimation: 'telco 214' is the owner of a single ip which houses, as far as i can tell, at least 2% of current net hash. ☟︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: popmechanic: What OS are you on? Javascript RNGs are notoriously unsafe. As unsafe as Pirate Party RNGs
ascii_field: so mircea_popescu would run a festering heap of shit like bitcoin 0.1, so long as it were signed with satoshi ?
mircea_popescu: but as things stand today, after two years of idiocy from the stooge camp, your doubts would be a weak minority even without it.
mircea_popescu: the satoshi hoard poses very little threat to bitcoin as is. the real threat is, an ~ACTUAL~ bitcoin client emerging, that's thje actual son of the original, not a bastardized clump of nonsense.
assbot: Logged on 14-11-2014 19:27:19; asciilifeform: re more important than experimental results. Lightoller, in effect, put traditions and customs ahead of the lives of passengers. To him, “the experience of years” and “what we have always done” outweighed all practical suggestions as to what we might do instead, to avoid killing thousands of people.'
trinque: I deeply and passionately resent everyone in the field which put systems such as these in my lap and told me they were "industry standards" and so on
mircea_popescu: in short, unpalatable as this is, im afraid it'd be a field where no formal examination is possible.
mircea_popescu: this is universally a bad habit anyway. heck, not doing THAT is even in the rules, such as they are.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the root is, i suppose, the unwarranted expectation that choice predates existence, and that it necessarily is (not even by god's grace or anything, but immediately) accessible to "thinking people" which the subject will always see himself as. consequently, given that choice predates existence, and given that it is necessarily accessible, it then follows that one may only be informed by things one approves of.
ascii_field: this is the kind of field i refer to as 'of entomological interest'
mircea_popescu: such as you know, things written by english native speakers.
mircea_popescu: as best i can discern atm, a curiosity steeped in burning hate is by far the best approach when dealing with maggot swamps.
mircea_popescu: moreover, and more importantly, other than the "palatable" part, which is entirely your own aesthetic judgement, i'd like some substantiation as to the "nobody gains" part. how do you know this ?
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-07-2015#1203555 << these are separate issues. whether love or hate and whether curiosity or uncuriosity are perfectly orthogonal concerns. you can be lovingly uncurious, you can be hatefully curious, and the other two combos as well. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: anyway. the claim is not that the original code is bad as in, bad penmanship. the claim is that the original code is no good as in, not sane design. this is consistent with a prototype and not particularly reflective on the capacity of the author.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: as of this morning, 'zoolag' was fully synced and happily serving 40 or so connections
mod6: <+jurov> daniel dutifully declared "Business" as NO SUCH LABS, i grinned all the way back << :>

nubbins`: as well as several bizarre grammatical structures
nubbins`: the irish, in turn, blessed nf english with such words as "scrob", "streel", and "sleveen"
mircea_popescu: "(iii) COLOUR FEELING. The old-style contemptuous attitude towards 'natives' has been much weakened in England, and various pseudo-scientific theories emphasising the superiority of the white race have been abandoned.[Note, below] Among the intelligentsia, colour feeling only occurs in the transposed form, that is, as a belief in the innate superiority of the coloured races. This is now increasingly common among Englis

decimation: how did greenspun put it: http://philip.greenspun.com/materialism/early-retirement/investing " Note that Harvard's total is 105 percent because of leverage, i.e., situations in which they've borrowed money to purchase investments. Conspicuously absent from these portfolios are heavy investments in American companies run by Harvard and Yale graduates. "Domestic Equity" are publicly traded stocks such as GE and Microsoft.

decimation: as in actual stock ceritficates?
mircea_popescu: e him- self and the culture of which he is a product." << this is deeply self-flattering but just as deeply wrong. if a man asks if a woman is a virgin, he also condemns himself ?
mircea_popescu: "The modern traveller " thy name is legion " proposing to visit some " lost paradise " such as Bali, often asks whether or not it has yet been " spoiled." It makes a naive, and even tragic, confession. For this man does not reflect that he is condemning him- self ; that what his question asks is whether or not the sources of equilibrium and grace in the other civilizations have yet been poisoned by contact with men lik
decimation: " Self-trading, for the purpose of this report, is defined as a transaction in which the same entity takes both sides of the trade so that no change in beneficial ownership results."
decimation: ^ I conclude that the high rent firms who run the hft bots are just as clueless as spv miners
decimation: ah the missing bit in the middle "a number of previously posted large sell orders suddenly became visible in the order book above the current 30-year futures price (as well as in smaller size in 10-year futures)."
decimation: " The sudden visibility of these sell orders significantly shifted the visible order imbalance in that contract, and it coincided with the beginning of the reversal of its price (the top of the price spike). Most of these limit orders were not executed, as the price did not rise to their levels.
mircea_popescu: "Points of objection to the extradition put forth by Davis's counsel claim he would be subjected to inhuman and degrading conditions if convicted and that as he suffers from depression and aspergers, his mental health would be put at risk. Counsel also argued that Davis should have been charged with the offences he is alleged to have committed in Ireland and not in the US. Despite this, the Irish DPP has not investigat
mircea_popescu: ftr, it's not like i'm on some sort of war on drugs mission or anything. i can appreciate good cocaine just as i can appreciate good steak, i've a refined palate etc.

assbot: Logged on 16-07-2015 00:04:23; mthreat: chinese job postings routinely specify measurements for female employees, for jobs such as receptionist, and also specify that they be "attractive". If you just search on http://cn.indeed.com for "cm", you'll find jobs with centimeter measurements.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is a) game currency and b) prototype. pick as needed.
assbot: Logged on 15-07-2015 21:54:58; ascii_field: at any rate, none of the diddles thus far would have made so much as a scratch on, e.g., 'adacoin'
asciilifeform: someone was dropped as a baby ?

mircea_popescu: exactly as recent fork happened.
mircea_popescu: what i gathered from what you were saying yest was that they contain an actual spendable tx that will be accepted as input for future txn by future usg clients, thus forking off the legitimate network
mircea_popescu: well, inasmuch as my bitcoin doesn't eat the block, they have.

punkman: "Only since the advent of smartphones can we create good public key software that doesn't need to say the word "key." As an added bonus: the more devices you have, the safer you are when one is lost."
ascii_field: his - hosed, as of last night
pete_dushenski: i see mp's smart miners as a 'one day' phenomenon, and therefore more akin to your talebian dream life
ascii_field: however presently his 'smart miners' live in the same hypothetical world as my 'meta-nsa'
ascii_field: i say 'yesterday' because, as mircea_popescu is fond of reminding us, no one knows what is used on the planets where the miners live

asciilifeform: 'Former marine Pete Lanteri has formed 'Counter Jade Helm', a volunteer group that will monitor the soldiers as they operate in Texas, with similar organizations springing up in other states involved in the war games.'

cazalla: fluffypony, yeah i'd target that and if Naphex is offering 5-10% of the the tips as referall payments, pay those you sign up 1/3 to 1/2 of that to sweeten it and incentivise em to use your links (i wonder how this would work with coinbase $25 sign up.. offer em $10 additional bonus)
Naphex: trafic slowing down and hard as hell to sync the girls with the customers but happens on the rare ocasions
mircea_popescu: in any case, it's refreshing to see the new/old tarddit ceo is just as unreadable / mentally disorganised / clueless as the average poster there.
mircea_popescu: "But... the most delicious part of this is that on at least two separate occasions, the board pressed /u/ekjp to outright ban ALL the hate subreddits in a sweeping purge. She resisted, knowing the community, claiming it would be a shitshow. Ellen isn't some "evil, manipulative, out-of-touch incompetent she-devil" as was often depicted. She was approved by the board and recommended by me because when I left, she was the
