mircea_popescu: mod6 yes but if you don't sort them by time-productivity you'll end up in the soup.
mircea_popescu: you're just inept, not dishonest.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform separate items.
mircea_popescu: yes, but meanwhile you're engaged with bbisp, which costs $$$ each month.
mircea_popescu: if you copy his style of "work", you'll be doing yourself a significant disservice.
mircea_popescu: mod6 you are talking to a man who spent his time dicking about and as a result is getting delorded. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: what's that do ?
mircea_popescu: kinda, yeh.
mircea_popescu: so his spending his time making less than minimum wage for it is basically his choice, you're just talking into the internet box ? is that the logic ?
mircea_popescu: so what's this all about ?
mircea_popescu: if you find now as opposed to whenever someone runs it, this differential is worth the difference between what and what ?
mircea_popescu: how much is that worth ?
mircea_popescu: what is the expected gain here ?
mircea_popescu: word
mircea_popescu: ty ben_vulpes
mircea_popescu: so BingoBoingo finally got his bank acct huh !

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo www.qntra.net 404s, should prolly just redirect.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman "took me twice as long" ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: not bad!
mircea_popescu: how goes ?
mircea_popescu: why hello #trilema!
mircea_popescu: cool.
mircea_popescu: if you're a smart guy, you just use this to prop castle ben_vulpes into existence. you two need a place to confer, and it doesn't properly belong here unless there's some kind of larger problem, so for day to day ops... you gotr a fodder.
mircea_popescu: you do ?
mircea_popescu: how bad can things possibly turn out.
mircea_popescu: wasn't this your previous employment also, iirc ?
mircea_popescu: so good for you.
mircea_popescu: maybe bad switch
mircea_popescu: you didn't.
mircea_popescu: strictly, STRICTLY that.
mircea_popescu: that the heathens can't discern how many boxes
mircea_popescu: the concept of "separation" is not useful.
mircea_popescu: apparently not.
mircea_popescu: even if you do so run two, you still want both to see the whole "pool"
mircea_popescu: the concept of separation here is meaningless.
mircea_popescu: why ?
mircea_popescu: i've been usinfg it for years.
mircea_popescu: not so clear why it needs to be fixed ?
mircea_popescu: cool*
mircea_popescu: pretty vool.
mircea_popescu: mod6 if you'd rather pay cash, that's also fine. !!pay mircea_popescu .8 at your leisure
mircea_popescu: alright.
mircea_popescu: the 8 fixed bytes are intended to permit future extension, if needed. there's no hard requirement they be set to the default values, user can also set them randomly if he prefers.
mircea_popescu: my typoing byte,
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-14#1783752 << don't regexp match, it's liable to come to the same sort of result in all future applications also. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: quite.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-14#1783607 << speaking of which, i guess it can't hurt to mention SCIENTIFIC STUDIES! http://trilema.com/2011/sa-bem-in-gura/ ☝︎
mircea_popescu: or in more pointed terms, we've been running a http://trilema.com/2014/ill-pay-for-your-tits/ except for brains. the reaction in the population has been comparable. it turns out about as many people have brains as girls have tits. and they're about as intellectually useful, too! ☟︎
mircea_popescu: "not big enough" a brain, not "not big enough a stomach".
mircea_popescu: which brings the following point home : it's not at all http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-13#1783553 ; it's very much that the republic doesn't actually have the intellectual capacity to handle the needs of its immense capital, as of yet. ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: the sizes note the message size, which is to say how many bits to lop off the end. this has specific benefits over the (deeply inept) scheme gpg currently uses ; they'll be discussed in the usual diana_coman post on the topic.
mircea_popescu: in this scheme, F is an 11 byte construct, as follows : [byte, random][bytem size][bytem size][T][M][S][R][-][R][S][A]
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-13#1783585 << continuing on this discussion (not so as to improperly call asciilifeform 's usual dithery blather such ; but for the record, that a discussion was at least ~attempted~) : s.mg boardroom eventually decided yesterday to employ a format for the pre-padded rsa messages. it will consist of [F][random bits][message]. ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: but their absolute need for bitcoin is in any case a more fundamental matter than their physical existence.
mircea_popescu: this is a not-negotiable point, bitcoin is the currency of the republic, and payments will be made in it. let allcomers figure out how to buy the bitcoin they absolutely need.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-13#1783540 << people all over the world manage to acquire arbitrary fiat to pay for their whatever, rents. they'll manage to acquire the bitcoin, similarily. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: but yes, the fundamental reason i didn't say no to uy (in preference of say, hk) is specifically that asia has a bw problem.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo something like that.
mircea_popescu: (this is the deep, and political meaning of the rowhammer class of attacks : it has rendered amazon's business entirely worthless ; much like basic physics make tesla be a paper-only usg venture, so now the last remaining flagship. all hopes now pinned on googles artificial "intelligence" [and i guess "quantum" wank].) ☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-13#1783525 << the problem is not really the bw in the sense of a limitation, can get as much installed as you want. the prices he's paying there are not terrible for what he gets. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-13#1783521 << these aren't really distinct. you either lease boxes or else you http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-12#1783389 ; however you call it is not relevant, "vps", "shared hosting", "virtualization", "cloud", there is no distinction between these. ☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: !!up freetlas
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-13#1783485 << "willing". asciilifeform is principally willing to stick himself into things, then delay them, and then ultimately produce some laughably inept excuse. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: history. it's a wonderful thing.
mircea_popescu: hey. you quit drinking on the couch ytou have, not on the couch you might possibly need for the purpose ; and consequently...
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo teh venezoelana chick ?
mircea_popescu: yet i can't tell him from adam. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2014-04-16#627147 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: !#s from:mircea TomServo
mircea_popescu: in other words, don't wait about while praying st Hilarity. put your hands on it and do.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-13#1783483 << the correct approach is to make up for lost time by helping us become familiar with you (in the sense of your history -- there is no other you than what you do). ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: quite some lulz to be had there, to fill up those sleepless nights.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-13#1783476 << crowdsourced middle management is a rather terrible idea ; are you familiar with say the potemkin rebellion, or generally the early (properly soviet) phase of russian revolution ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: there is that.
mircea_popescu: can't you call any of the old time folk in the us ?
mircea_popescu: orc can't be honest. not because doesn't want to or anything, but because honesty requires a live intelligence.
mircea_popescu: sure as waterlillies nobody put an import tax on AA, there or anywhere else. and yet.
mircea_popescu: they're fuckups altogether, as a substance not as a coincidental, environment-driven property.
mircea_popescu: then you discover muslims don't know how to fuck, either, and realise that no, being an orc is a very substantial thing. it's not just foreign / neologistic items they fuck up.
mircea_popescu: it's funny what parts turn out rotten/unreliable huh. you'd think there's nothing intrinsically orc about AA, it's a fundamental human thing, how could they botch it ?!
mircea_popescu: how you hodling up ?
mircea_popescu: no, im gonna make it a coupla times a week. and even read logs now and again.
mircea_popescu: a ty
mircea_popescu: somehow we're asked to forgive the plain fact that pantsuit's socialist paradise will NEVER come, because let's all focus on how some species got extincted for sucking bad enough to need the measure.
mircea_popescu: MEANWHILE, however, they have 100% unaccounted for the time externality. so basically it's a contest consisting of a guy without legs going about finding fault with people's fingers. because he's decided "legs don't count", and so as he has much better hands than the rest of those losers he should be captain of the football team. ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: olol.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-12#1783451 << very much that exactly. the pantsuit rides on a high and mighty horse of "oh, capitalists don't account for ALL the externalities", hence its trojan horse of "environmentalism", because mind you that people making the civilisation run haven't in their ledger of costs and benefits a line for the obscure pondfish of extinction, and this, while epsilon, IS TILL NOT ZERO!!! concerntrol ☝︎
mircea_popescu: that aside, i don't necessarily want to be paid cash or anything ; carry the same http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-11#1783243 on the books alongside whatever you're adding via the foundation and it'll be fine. ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: mod6 i'm not against you taking over ; but mind that as you also mention, BingoBoingo 's problem wasn't lack of access to capital (i dunno why this keeps being the expectation, as it's scarcely yet been the case, we're drastically overcapitalized is the entire fucking problem to begin with). BingoBoingo 's problem was lack of access to middle management, and it nigh on killed him. so for this to work, that's the key element. ☟︎
mircea_popescu wasn't going to read the logs ; but then hanbot insisted. all the better.
mircea_popescu: gmorning #trilema
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo soo, you're buying your ticket wednesday or what was it ?
mircea_popescu: lobbes no i just meant resistance is feminine in french
mircea_popescu: did we already do the "la resistance" thing or notyet ?
mircea_popescu: hey, good thing it was in here years ago, that way they could digest it in time for 2018!
