ben_vulpes: nobody can do anything to increase the value of btc
as an investment. it's here, it's queer, nobody's changing it.
isaackl: Sensible bitcoin businesses are those that increase the value of btc
as an investment (not user adoption or transaction volume or anything like that
isaackl: Well, taking the thesis that the real value of bitcoin is
as an inflation hedge, and that funds will increasingly flow into bitcoin
as people realise this
isaackl: Yeah, I figured that
as the most likely null hypothesis
assbot: Logged on 13-05-2015 21:42:17; asciilifeform: re: '21' etc >> 'The cornerstone of the strategy
as presented would have been the release of consumer products that would turn power from wall sockets into bitcoin through the widespread dissemination of bitcoin mining chips.' << -somebody- clearly reads the 2013 #b-a logs.
ben_vulpes: 'But she added the uses of hashtags such
as "kill all white men" on her personal account were "in-jokes and ways that many people in the queer feminist community express ourselves".' << gotta love these people. "when you make jokes i don't understand and therefore piss me off, i round up a hate squad and get you fired. when i make jokes, it's in-group solidarity and YOU CAN'T SAY ANYHTING ABOUT IT"
mod6: ok, so gnupg v2 relies on libgcrypt to generate the keys, i finally found the code: dpaste.com/3106AJC.txt Seems that it does the same thing
as v1 when doing the Euler totient.
mod6: i see one here
as old
as 1.2.0
ben_vulpes: ah i do enjoy the odd kids' movie, but those are largely action movies
as well
pete_dushenski: calgary is a good bit more temperate than edmonton (300km further north)
as a result of the chinook winds
assbot: Successfully added a rating of 2 for trinque with note: coder formerly known
as undata; deedbot maintainer
mod6: we'll be correlating all the data and putting together a bit of a press-release and notes along with it
as soon
as the v0.5.3 perf test is complete
mod6: ok, so v0.5.3 is compiled and running -- im doing a nmon perf collection on that
as well. then we'll have all three to compare.
ascii_field: in other news, 10 moduli
as of a few hrs ago
mats: camera at the door takes his pic, prints access card with his face on it, but for whatever reason a super-secure AI dev facility doesn't so much
as use the pic for user verification
ascii_field: but it is a slightly less outlandish fantasy to picture getting some of it back
as bread&circuses or whichever.

as skippable

as a wee one
davout: "NYXBT utilizes a unique methodology that relies on rules-based logic to analyze a dataset of matched transactions and verify the integrity of the data to ultimately produce an objective and fair daily value for one bitcoin in U.S. Dollars
as of 16:00 London time."
davout: "We are now going to use our name, reputation and global index provider stature to provide bitcoin values that the rest of the market can look to," says Tom Farley, who serves
as president of NYSE, the venerable financial institution that has come to symbolize Wall Street and capitalism more broadly.
davout: "
As a global index leader and administrator of ICE LIBOR, ICE Futures U.S. Dollar Index and many other notable benchmarks, we are pleased to bring transparency to this market."
nubbins`: for those of you who are not canadian, yellow shirt man got fired from his $100k/yr job
as an engineer at a public utility the day after this video came out
mircea_popescu: how about you know, you just suck about
as bad
as the car mechanic that sets customers' cars on fire.
williamdunne: It was a knife fight, and
as soon
as one biker pulled a gun the swat opened automatic fire
justJanne: You can start a company, and become a huge multinational even,
as long
as everyone has enough to fulfill their basic needs.
mircea_popescu: "you can start a company
as long
as it doesn't matter or do anything important"
☟︎ justJanne: Socialism, originally, was intended to do exactly this: give everyone equal chances, but then let them do their own thing. Of course you can start a company and become rich, this is no issue,
as long
as no one starves to death.
justJanne: Also, you often don't need laws or regulations,
as they are often ignored, if you use society or physics, it works better. Example: the streets in my city. If you have no parking lots anywhere in the city, people will have to use public transport. And private investors are happy too, because they can build parking lots and charge moon prices. 8$/h
mircea_popescu: since in her world sartre never happened,
as didn't voltaire.
justJanne: He could have worked
as legal attorney,
mircea_popescu: to propose that you can randomly switch people around
as if they were interchangeable parts is already to introduce socialism
as a given
mircea_popescu: this is not an issue, for
as long
as they understand that this is ok for them and unpleasant for others.
mircea_popescu: in most of the world (defined
as africa), females must have their bits cut off.
justJanne: Debt
as a liability and debt
as an asset have to be treated the same.
williamdunne: justJanne: No it doesn't, you know I meant debt
as if in the liability not the asset
chetty: <justJanne> When your parents are so piss poor you have to work
as a child to not starve.// some might consider that an advantage
justJanne: When your parents are so piss poor you have to work
as a child to not starve.
justJanne: williamdunne: it was used
as defense against my argument that "children should have equal chances, no matter if their parents are poor or rich"
mircea_popescu: most of the discussion flows
as "comonly held belief 1" "why" "because 2" "why" "because 3" why" "because 1.1" etc
mircea_popescu: the problem isn't that we're going "off topic",
as there isn't a topic. the problem is that you very badly suck at most verbal and cognitive tasks. but hopefully we've run the gamut by now.
justJanne:
As access to the intranet is bound through X.509 to a user account
mircea_popescu: Germany is home to at least 24,000 women from African countries who've undergone female circumcision (
as reported by DW in 2004)
mircea_popescu: aha. well the thing is, the books you read are kinda deliberately written so
as to make you think you're in the best possible place.
justJanne: mircea_popescu: the Nordics still pay about the same taxes
as the US, but you get free healthcare, free college, welfare, and an almost unregulated market.
justJanne: They can't spend anything,
as the last two statements are invalid.
justJanne: I'm currently talking about northern Germany,
as I don't know the internals of Denmark, it's the same, though.
justJanne: It's the same
as minimum and smallest, two completely different definitions.
justJanne: The banks aren't either fully centralized, nor fully decentralized. Anyone can just open a bank, the question is if other banks will accept money from your customers
as payment,
as they don't know if they can trust your cryptographic signature.
justJanne: A web of nodes is a graph,
as a graph, per definition, is just a set of nodes, and a set of relations between nodes.
justJanne: Is because they store the money
as a cryptographically signed transaction history on the card.
justJanne: mircea_popescu: in Denmark, almost all transfers are digital anyway.
As the official system is cheaper, faster, and easier than bitcoin even.
justJanne: If you want, you can try it
as a state.
mircea_popescu: might
as well have the same argument about believing in christ and move to 1555 to be a nun.
justJanne: All politicians who said the opposite ended up
as dictators.
justJanne:
As you stated before you aren't paying for them.
mircea_popescu: but anyway : i, personally, pay no taxes. agents i own pay taxes in the jurisdictions i've incorporated them in,
as you'd expect.
williamdunne: The problem is the UK is mostly shit,
as we have discussed. And the shit areas would be far more likely to vote Communist
justJanne: And more democratic, cause the government won't risk ignoring the 7% people who voted liberals, nor the 7% who voted communist,
as if they'd ignore them, those parties would just start a fight in Parliament.
williamdunne: My hand might be
as soft
as loo roll, but its not too hygienic
williamdunne: But it likely won't matter nearly
as much outside of EU
mircea_popescu: uk
as an independent state is about
as ludicrous today
as the kingdom of scotland was in 1715
justJanne:
As their economy right now is "European companies open an Ltd in London"
mircea_popescu: the uk... god help it. no country in memory sunk
as bad
as they have.
mircea_popescu: obviously, if you refuse to trade with putin, this puts "putin
as seen through our trade with him" at a disadvantage.
williamdunne: Sure, but I don't think it's a very controversial idea that various rules such
as the AML set put entire regions of people at a disadvantage
mircea_popescu: but anyway, to round off the "social marketplace" thing : if one is to reclassify slave labour
as "voluntaryism", which is undoubtedly erroneous but nevertheless coherent with the presupositions proposed, then sure, i am a champion of "the northern model"
mircea_popescu: purely economic.
as hitler actually pointed out : we don't have enough land to exploit. either we fight or "the way of life" has to change.
justJanne:
As seen in places like Switzerland.
justJanne: Not really, I didn't take it
as 3rd or 4th language in school
BingoBoingo: justJanne: Seeing
as the library profession here requires a graduate degree it wouldn't be sustainable here.
trinque: mircea_popescu: could just
as well be something taught to everyone, that risk is terrible and to be avoided
williamdunne: On a similar note, I considered dunne.so and thug.so
as alternative to thethug.life

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-05-2015#1137583 << yes. and it only works for
as long
as there's free herring in the scania straight, or for
as long
as kennedy is ein berliner and airlifts food for free, or for
as long
as the north sea oil lasts, or for
as long
as insane luck rolls keep going. otherwise, fuckall, german peasants were the most unfortunate wretches throughout the intermediate pe
williamdunne: justJanne: Poor would benefit
as much
as anyone else, well, the working poor
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> <justJanne> Currently the food production of the world could support 10 billion people. << that's not the point. sure, food could be produced to feed 10, 100, one trillion. does not mean anyone wants more idiots running around. too many
as it is. << Speaking about agriculture. Lots of fallow fields this year.
justJanne: williamdunne: when you'd try to implement this system in reality,
as a social system.

justJanne:
As long
as this place can stay the way it is.
justJanne: Voting makes it 50% freedom,
as at least 50% of the people gets their choice.
justJanne: War might be interested in Europe,
as an entity
mircea_popescu: "This room has vx gas in it!11" "no, not really, act
as if it did."
BingoBoingo: A bicycle is just dead wait that's going to get stolen
as soon
as you have to go inside a building
mircea_popescu: there's no rule that "everyone must has", be it equal chances or whatever else. there's also no rule that everyone's just
as good
as everyone else.
