mircea_popescu: eh, these hirign someone to work on things deals never work out.
mats: contemplating hiring someone to work on it but it appears dignork has made much progress
assbot: Logged on 03-07-2015 18:37:57; mats: ;;later tell dignork http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-02-2015#1025687 << this ever go anywhere?
ascii_modem: pet saw it too, after i pointed where to look
ascii_modem: traditional holiday here. and there is a spybot in the cloud. which is lulzy because there is a huge sign, 'no smoking'-style, with crossed-out chopper
ascii_modem: in other nyuz, i'm sitting under the megaphallus in washington, and blinking eye of sauron
mircea_popescu: how then, not "pay for self" ?
mircea_popescu: the roi for the first was 0, the roi for the 2nd not 0.
mircea_popescu: take the other side. i approved expenditure of ~7.5 btc on advertising as ceo of s.mg ; and of ~.25 (unreported, maybe next month i remember to put it in) on s.nsa.
ascii_modem: rather, running on battery like other things
mircea_popescu: comes out of nsa accts tho. eventually.
ascii_modem: for those who don't know - mircea_popescu contributed the bix phuctor runs on
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-07-2015#1185497 << what's the job mostly, looking at deep frozen pork bellies ? ☝︎☟︎
assbot: Logged on 03-07-2015 18:14:11; ascii_field: what family i've left is in it too
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-07-2015#1185445 << to hear him say it, he's like that beat up chimp in the experiments ☝︎
ascii_modem: pogo & the other junk is in different category than 'capital proper' in my mind because none of this stuff 'pays for itself'
mircea_popescu: so i fully expect this to get "regulated".
assbot: Logged on 03-07-2015 18:06:43; mats: BingoBoingo: 'There's no regulation', '... and it's really difficult to believe that the girls who were crying when they're being "raped" are always acting and performing'
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-07-2015#1185411 << they aren't always performing. most of them can't perform worth a shit. nevertheless, the sexual exploitation of women is an important element of mental health, including for the women in question, for women in general, for men in general... ☝︎
mircea_popescu: well sure, original thread.
mircea_popescu: see ag3nt_zero, syllogism. reductio ad absurdum. present the op with a dilemma, so he can either explain what was misunderstood or correct what he misunderstood
ascii_modem: original thread was re 'who is wageslave and who - capitalist'
mircea_popescu: what's this "quantity is the determinator of quality" approach then ?
mircea_popescu: i thought you reasoned in categories.
mircea_popescu: arguably intelligence is similarly of a capital good, and you have enough control of it to, for instance, contribute here. other people do not have this luxury - for instance because they agreed some employer owns it all.
mircea_popescu: as much as running your own server is controlling a capital good. not a very significant one, but that's a quantitative discussion
mircea_popescu: capital goods produce value. all there is to them.
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem you're not going to redefine terms of art now, are you ?
assbot: Digging through archives yields gold on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1NEBNpS )
assbot: Logged on 03-07-2015 18:04:12; funkenstein_: only in so much as farmers and homeowners accept their counterfeits
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-07-2015#1185407 << plox to review the original discussion on the original list. http://trilema.com/2013/digging-through-archives-yields-gold/#selection-113.0-113.416 ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 05-07-2015 00:23:01; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-07-2015#1185400 << he got you there you know.
mircea_popescu: even not counting the nsa etc ; pogo is a capital good.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-07-2015#1185400 << he got you there you know. ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: so there we go.
mircea_popescu: and i agree it's a pity nobody cares enough to beat up that bum.
mircea_popescu: and he told me that he was an orphan, and that he got put by the commieus through the above grinder, and now he has a family and owns his car.
mircea_popescu: and the cab driver was looking at this bum laying down
mircea_popescu: this horrible trampling of rightrs and liberties resulted in a romania with absolutely no bums, and moreover, in the anedcodtic situation where i picked up a cab from the train station
assbot: Logged on 03-07-2015 17:58:57; trinque: pete_dushenski: I had this notion regarding the bums all over portland, that someone should take them to nearby farms for day labor in exchange for meals, showers, and somewhere to be warehoused at night.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-07-2015#1185395 << ceausescu did exactly this. if police found you oin the street and you had no place of employment, you'd get a beating and get force-sent to either vocational prison-school if underage or work camp if overage. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 03-07-2015 17:57:51; ascii_field: this is amply described in the literature
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-07-2015#1185391 << they were, after all, jews ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 03-07-2015 17:48:44; decimation: actually I would pay good money for a robot that could wonder through a yard and pull weeds
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-07-2015#1185329 << except cheaper to adapt the yard to the robot, as in all examination markets. so you get those round cultivated fields with a pillar in middle etc. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: no place on earth was ever such an openm insult to the human spirit as north america is these days.
mircea_popescu: these idiots gave it all back because they gotta be jwz.
assbot: Logged on 03-07-2015 17:45:53; pete_dushenski: punkman: ah yes, how farmers don't own the tools of their trade. sad story, that.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-07-2015#1185320 << incidentally, twelve generations of peasants died in a pool of their own blood to get ownership over the fucking tools, as a precursor to over the land and eventually their life. ☝︎
shinohai: >mfw I see a guy named "popescu" on the fbi wanted list.
williamdunne: Oh that makes sense.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-07-2015#1185240 << where the fuck was "blasphemy" ever illegal. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 03-07-2015 15:30:34; scoopbot_revived: Hits and misses of Ted "The Unabomber" Kaczynski. http://www.contravex.com/2015/07/03/hits-and-misses-of-ted-the-unabomber-kaczynski/
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-07-2015#1185238 << lol asciilifeform check out how studious this guy is ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 03-07-2015 19:56:42; trinque: could refine that to "and then presents me a buffer of the diff"
mircea_popescu: have the decency to use zimbabwe pula or something
shinohai: I finally got it set up correctly this evening, it pays to look at things when you aren't fantastically drunk
mircea_popescu: leaving aside the inept spin they published, why the fuck are we pricing things in dollars.
mircea_popescu: "Note that the roughly 50% of the network that was SPV mining had explicitly indicated that they would enforce the BIP66 rules. By not doing so, several large miners have lost over $50,000 dollars worth of mining income so far."
assbot: Logged on 03-07-2015 19:49:35; shinohai: mod6: if you want another auto.sh, I'll try and help you when I understand this new build xD
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-07-2015#1185652 << i really gotta post ak47.sh to the ml ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 04-07-2015 17:23:18; trinque: yeah, I'm being hyperbolic
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-07-2015#1187220 << so are they :D ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i dunno when it became fashionable to be infantile, but i'm getting pretty sick of it.
mircea_popescu: because yes, we're fucktarded enough to not notice what's proposed here is a closed f2pool - antpool loop. they're over there in their own parallel universe.
assbot: Logged on 04-07-2015 16:41:04; asciilifeform: ;;later tell kakobrekla my current understanding of the ph0rk situation is that your hypothesis re: miners being dumb as bricks is essentially correct...
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-07-2015#1187182 << add lying schmucks to a degree not experienced since kindergarten on pirate island. the f2pool admin's explanation is "we got the bad block from antpool, who we don't know how they got because they told us they only follow us" ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-07-2015#1187175 << there is a world under the ground we know little about. ☝︎
ben_vulpes: https://github.com/extempore/real-bitcoin << i keep the patches in their own directory
assbot: Logged on 03-07-2015 19:21:32; mod6: I will work on a patch list and maybe a script later this month. It is a bit hard to follow.
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-07-2015#1185611 << i keep a git repo on disk, i think someone else has one of these running in public as well ☝︎
assbot: Old story on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1NEzPWy )
mircea_popescu: no, i mean, sure, maybe x will happen. but then again maybe x won't.
ben_vulpes: d'you mean that management is about "you may do XXX but not YYY" when you say "doors"?
mircea_popescu: heh. these people... adult infants i swear.
mircea_popescu: "I shook hands with the man I did most of the talking with and they took off... I was a little shooken up but realized I made a big mistake! I forgot to shake the black police detective's hand... shit!!!"
ben_vulpes: eh, alf may actually get to the ada impl before a block v1 sticks again.
mircea_popescu: one day, someone WILL mine a version 1 block that WILL stick.
mircea_popescu: best i can discern, this is not only legitimate, but will be the ultimate end situaiton
punkman: but still, any derpy miner can do this
punkman: yeah that was stupid, never mind
mircea_popescu: cause that's "what chips cost"
mircea_popescu: if that costs 25btc then any chip alf wants costs ~50 cents
punkman: mircea_popescu: well it costs 25btc, if they can doublespend more than that somewhere...
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell pete_dushenski king of the hill: "i sell cars and car backed securities"
ben_vulpes: shinohai: wanted to know about your 0.5.3.1's behavior during the phr0k
assbot: Logged on 04-07-2015 16:06:20; punkman: as it is 0.5.3.1/0.5.4 versions will accept blocks of version 1 and 2, allowing shitgnomes to induce forks. what's gonna happen with this?
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-07-2015#1187156 << how exactly would they do this ? by mining a block ? at this diff ? ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 03-07-2015 18:17:00; ascii_field: and shamir for the original poker
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-07-2015#1185459 << i don't think this addresses collusion. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 04-07-2015 16:04:00; asciilifeform: can't think of any reason not to
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-07-2015#1187155 << this isn't the right aproach. can you think of any reason TO include it ? ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 04-07-2015 16:02:26; punkman: maybe we should add a .conf option that lets whoever really wants it to skip VerifySig between checkpoints
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-07-2015#1187150 << i think this is a bad idea. ☝︎
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: from whence this quote ?
mircea_popescu: ah right. missed that.
mircea_popescu: <punkman> gernika, maybe write up your process/mods << also a good idea. submit to mail list, now you can.
mircea_popescu: is to me.
mircea_popescu: <punkman> "Después de encontrar una vulnerabilidad grave en el sistema de voto electrónico a #MSA estan allanando mi casa, los de delitos informaticos." << in case anyone else missed it, this country is mostly a parody.
ben_vulpes: 1mb's too big already.
