assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 07:10:57; ben_vulpes: "But the idea of buying ocean freight is far less appealing for U.S. companies selling on the Amazon Marketplace. " << you don't fucking say i'm pretty sure i learned during the alcoa saga that nobody exports from the states any more
mircea_popescu: then one day power was out and suddenly... "wait, isn't that 240 HP engine backed by a full electric generator ? that could do up to 240 HP aka 180 kW ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: of course, to their discredit they still didn't figure out what the COMPLETE correction to their existence is. just went from "doing something stupid" to "not doing anything". the "how about you stop existing at all" thing is too hard.
mircea_popescu: there clearly exists a market for $100k cars, and this wouldn't take that to make.
mircea_popescu: timothy b lee > wants to write about bitcoin > is not in #bitcoin-assets >wonders why he can't make sense of anything.
mircea_popescu: strictly the only reason you might try to name things you don't own is your hope to steal a little. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: but of course you can't SIMPLY ADD STRINGS NUMERICALLY right ? :D
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-01-2016#1370802 << yes but they don't want that, because much like everything else spawned by usg, they want you to need them. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: hehe check that out, dub got repelled by the antiuniversalist nature of the new democracy. turns out he was right : the citostatic has prevented tumours (doublespoken as "the channel") from growing. it has however not prevented the list of our accomplishments from growing, which was exactly the fucking point. we don't want more people, and we sure as fuck don't want "all the people". we just want a larger share of ever
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 03:45:33; adlai: this is why people who wish for success in life don't go into warrant officer carreers, or even avoid .mil altogether
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 03:35:18; adlai: actual quote from meatwot-pope: "if somebody executes a death warrant against somebody trying to improve bitcoin, i'll fund and execute one against them myself" (don't judge him, he's prone to angry outbursts)
ben_vulpes: "But the idea of buying ocean freight is far less appealing for U.S. companies selling on the Amazon Marketplace. " << you don't fucking say i'm pretty sure i learned during the alcoa saga that nobody exports from the states any more ☟︎
pete_dushenski: trains also don't accelerate and decelerate as quickly or as frequently ☟︎
pete_dushenski: yup, "people who shouldn't have money with middling amounts of it"
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> and yes i took a goon, but who doesn't? << Persons who are their own goon
assbot: Timothy B. Lee on Twitter: "Is Mike Hearn's post here overstating the magnitude of Bitcoin's crisis? https://t.co/qxLqfk9VRR" ... ( http://bit.ly/1UTuRc9 )
punindented: haha, well, I wasn't thinking of the second hand vehicle market
ben_vulpes: and yes i took a goon, but who doesn't?
pete_dushenski: http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/protections-urged-recent-sex-assaults-nyc-cabs-36218847 << lulz. "please, be more like progressive saudi arabia, where wimminz aren't allowed to leave their houses without their chaperones. kthxbye."
adlai wouldn't blink at a USG imprisonment warrant (and seizure of License to Mine) against such txen
adlai: the latter purely to annoy those who don't understand why bloom filters belong in Bitcoin
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: re: 3x, that's an excellent point. they really don't take that into account.
ben_vulpes: i don't really see that in 3w
adlai can't find the trollbox input field?
adlai: if nothing else, just for verification that what you sent in !register didn't get diddled (assuming assbot itself doesn't use mpex security standard)
BingoBoingo: I wasn't raised in a barn either, but I can still smell barn when the wind comes from the wrong direction
pete_dushenski: i wasn't raised in a country barn yknow
BingoBoingo: plain lag it seems so far. Wasn't anticipating so hadn't set up anything looking for it yet. What should I be looking for?
adlai: this is why people who wish for success in life don't go into warrant officer carreers, or even avoid .mil altogether ☟︎
adlai: actual quote from meatwot-pope: "if somebody executes a death warrant against somebody trying to improve bitcoin, i'll fund and execute one against them myself" (don't judge him, he's prone to angry outbursts) ☟︎
adlai somehow doesn't imagine asciilifeform walking around with 12 cardanos looped into his belt
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-01-2016#1370572 << ~to the merchant.~ (and yes, priced in.) but h is speaking to konsooomers, who 'if i don't see it, it doesn't exist and doesn't possibly affect me' ☝︎
mircea_popescu: it's some old dude apparently living in costa rica (which he invented), telling the world truths in centered lines. "Yes, in case you didn't know it Facebook is a HUGE Blogging Platform and it earns Facebook Billions of Dollars !In fact Facebook generated $217.00 every second, 24hrs a day during 2013. And they Earned that money from You Blogging!"
mircea_popescu: but i think ima stop listening to people who don't have what i want (tits)
mircea_popescu: "oh, cars don't even have buggywhips!!11 CARS HAVE FAILED!11"
BingoBoingo: That's the other good reason it wouldn't have been linked if I found it in time. It's like Cryptsy screaming their were hacked after their end has already entered the record. Too late.
mircea_popescu: which is why people who aren't poorfags use wires.
BingoBoingo: ;;later tell bitstein I missed that original piece by Mike Hearn. I see no reason to link it or an archive of in in the Qntra article. Mike Hearn hasn't had a say on any subject in a long time. Why should he get one about himself?
mod6: ;;later tell PeterL I guess also, if that doesn't resolve the issue, there could be something weird going on with your gpg import. might have to investigate more with you.
assbot: Logged on 14-01-2016 21:32:41; mircea_popescu: i suspect that at the root of the complexity-seeking behaviours is the deeply internalized if very infantile fear that if others understand what you did they won't respect you for doing it. because hey, 5yo doesn't understand what parents do.
adlai: the fiat gov signing such a law signs its own expiration warrant, but the average legislator probably isn't smart enough to be reading the logs
adlai: not in the "produce non-cuantic trading engine" sense, but in the "RFC if your trade didn't appear properly" sense
adlai: assbot isn't 100% correct, but this is fixable
adlai: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-01-2016#1369694 << I hope you don't mean anything that makes it ~easier~ to use (treatises in latin are not included, but a bitch to write) ☝︎
mircea_popescu: haven't i derped enough about okcupid on trilema ?!
BingoBoingo: Ah no. I jsut suspected you might be writing a post. Then when you said it wasn't going into a post decided to jinx it.
BingoBoingo: That's how USG works, just fishing new Hearnias everytime the dumber power rangers rig up a fresh truss to pretend the last one wasn't a problem.
adlai: well the logs themselves are deeded (or at least the past year(s)? didn't verify it all myself)
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag you won't see any actual defeat no matter what happened.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: i don't recall any other scammer being as vocal after they failed.
mircea_popescu: but the fact that they can't keep their oh-so-precious "state secrets" from the republic bothers them immensely.
mircea_popescu: asshat didn't "become disillusioned", and he was never a prominent "leader".
thestringpuller: pete didn't like what he said on reddit?
brg444: couldn't seem to manage to !up?
thestringpuller: for the old management he did, but he couldn't bullshit my buddy.
mircea_popescu: as if your don't undertstanding is an extenuating circumstance, that somehow makes anything better, like salt and blowing up the whites.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag it is, but not just. the nonsense is in fact so pervasive that when someone does something horrible ~and it matters not at all what it is ~ the first, the automatic, the one true psychological defense is... "you don't understand"
mircea_popescu: i suspect that at the root of the complexity-seeking behaviours is the deeply internalized if very infantile fear that if others understand what you did they won't respect you for doing it. because hey, 5yo doesn't understand what parents do. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: supports it. The OpenSSH server doesn't support roaming, but the OpenSSH client
BingoBoingo: Didn't exist yet
thestringpuller: I'm green eyed black person, but that doesn't count.
Atomicat: IMO, There isn't much listed there.
thestringpuller: ^- months to pay off mpex fee at coinbr rates. << so you can't beat that
thestringpuller: f. scott fitzgerald really didn't get experience "the rich life", it's just interesting to me that "old miners" operate similar to "old money". i do find it intriguing the proletariat of America found that book so fascinating in declaring "the american dream" dead.
mircea_popescu: the other kids in school'd BETTER think his dad's house is cool, or else he stands to lose a lot. so he has a vested interest in having the sluttier chicks in class over by his pool each weekend, that other kids in better situations don't.
mircea_popescu: "old miners" do what you say in cases such as saudi arabia cutting prices to sink obama's hopes of reindustrializing the us, sure. but note that there's a strong "god-given" element to this : the saudis didn't BUILD those oil deposits.
mircea_popescu: i don't trust jgarzik's ability to correctly account for a business venture, for one thing.
mircea_popescu: so... yeah. it isn't nor could it be.
thestringpuller: I can't get the numbers to work to make mining profitable. I don't see how it would be possible. It's like flushing BTC down a toilet.
Atomicat: Isn't that the WOT?
thestringpuller: seems complicated in the sense the trustworthy miners don't advertise themselves but hide in the darkness.
Atomicat: mircea_popescu: I have a good programming background and might be interested in running a pool if I can offer something other pools doesn't
mircea_popescu: (not that pools are such a bright idea in the first place, but sadly this is a dropped ball we can't so far fix)
mircea_popescu: you don't advertise jobs requiring a clearance in the want ad section of teh newspaper either.
PeterL: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=12-01-2016#1367133 << we don't need any hash power to make TRB mining pool, miners bring the has power, we tell them what to mine ☝︎
mircea_popescu: heh. usg can't afford to even consider this matter. it "never happened".
Atomicat: You own MPEX and don't have a profile on bitcointalk??
mircea_popescu: i do some digging around, it turns out that, get this : https://github.com/SpamExperts/pyzor/issues/39 they list THE FUCKING MESSAGE. so if you ever wondered why the string "123" can't be sent through email, take a motherfucking guess.
punkman: seems the spanish didn't ever go further than the Sahara
fluffypony: but in a movie where a small green hobbit-creature is a major star, I don't know if that counts
fluffypony: "there weren't enough Gungans in the original trilogy!"
mircea_popescu: "Star Wars was released theatrically in the United States on May 25, 1977. It earned $461 million in the US and $314 million overseas, totaling $775 million. It surpassed Jaws (1975) to become the highest-grossing film of all time; its gross was later surpassed by that of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982). When adjusted for inflation as of 2013" << check it out, there was inflation since the 80s ?!
shinohai: I don't recall. Don't think so unless it is a background character.
mircea_popescu: "oh black people always existed, we just didn't film any back in the 60s."
BingoBoingo: !t m s.bbet
mircea_popescu: now, if subsidy was more like 25 cents than 25 BTC, we wouldn't even have this discussion.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform to fully formulate the impedance mismatch here, because on reread this isn't satisfactory. suppose you have a chain of blocks, B1...Bn. suppose you also have a chain (different concepts) of txn , T1...Tm.
mircea_popescu: but "everyone" does it. and you want to be just like everyone, don't you ?
asciilifeform: it doesn't ~do~ anything
asciilifeform: because i don't see the mega-point
mircea_popescu: when you can't even get one to spread properly.
asciilifeform: incidentally i still don't fully grasp the point of the whole malleation thing
mircea_popescu: barely hangs on by a mix of "grandfathering" and "don't look in this box", much like the usg that spawned them.
mircea_popescu: and incidentally - if it weren't cheaper to implement than to just forget it, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DROPPED
mircea_popescu: there isn't a "you do yours and i do mine" thing here. IF we decide to mine as much as one single high s block, this INVALIDATES all further work of all noncompliant miners. forever.
mircea_popescu: blocks aren't individual items. they are chained.
mod6: so here's a thing -- if I make a vpatch for this, one doesn't need to build with it either. but one could, and that should resolve the issue.
asciilifeform: can't think of for what else
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-01-2016#1369526 << there is only one Great Cockroach, and all of these folks are merely fuzz upon its antennae. << it's funny how much of a judeoxtian fundamentalist you are seeing how you don't even alphabet! wouldn't something equally ridiculous like indian-whatever go better with your semiotic ideas ? ☝︎
mod6: but you don't hvae to know the subdir to make the sync work properly. you just put the root URL of the given mirror
