decimation: meowmix: is
that why you are using an ipv6 address?
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> meowmix is, i
think, a script. << More likely meat
that fails
turing
test
decimation: hondapiston: no you
tell me why you lurk
mircea_popescu: basically,
the east germans came up with a rationalization of
their soviet
time. "we really were right. excesses were made but..."
assbot: Logged on 20-05-2015 14:32:14; mircea_popescu: instead of parading
them naked
through
the streets with a "i was a fucktard and am now sorry"
thing around
their neck,
they let
them sit around for
twenty years coming up with reasons as
to how
their idiocy "wasn't really all
that bad".
mircea_popescu: decimation she wasn't a socialist, she was a northernsystemalist. stop arguing about your imaginary political systems
that don't exist!
mircea_popescu: decimation again, animals are not stupid. it will identify your
trap even when fresh. let alone when it stinks of death.
mircea_popescu: trinque yes,
that's
the word. and we know it is
the fact of
the matter from say
the kidneys.
mircea_popescu: (not
to derpy bacteria.
to jackals.
they band
together.)
mircea_popescu: yeah, asciilifeform has a point. eat it
that day or lose it
mircea_popescu: no. rich meat is 3-4 calories / gram. a one
ton bull made of no bones is worth 3-4Mcal
tops.
decimation: although an auroch would feed a
tribe for awhile
mircea_popescu: (or calculate
the caloric value of
the bull and
the caloric expenditure of
the dig)
mircea_popescu: you
think a pit large enough
to host a bull is
trivial ? go fucking dig out a regulation latrine with a shard of dinner plate!
decimation: that's a good point, but it seems
that a deadfall is pretty obvious
mircea_popescu: just because
there's proof sylex spears were used by ns does not mean a superarmy of drilled regiments of standard-uniformed neanderthals.
mircea_popescu: understand : people of year 52015 will say "humans had internet" sure,
they did. so ?
mircea_popescu: because
they didn't have
them or know how
to use
them.
mircea_popescu: but
the bear is playful. nobody is fucking wrestling a bull solo.
mircea_popescu: decimation
the derpy european bear (small, brown guy, about 4 foot
tall standing) is
to
this day (or rather,
the 1800s) an informal "absolute
top of young male physical ability"
decimation: well, if
the practice continued into roman
times, I wouldn't want
to face some dude who wrested an auroch and won
mircea_popescu: but it was not, i would guess, above 10% of energetic input. prolly safe
to say 1% or less.
trinque: "endurance hunting" was
the
thing right?
decimation: you don't
think
they killed a giant auroch by hand
mircea_popescu: yes neanderthals hunted.
this was accomplished principally by outrunning smallish game. a sort of a dodo bird, some early antelope etc.
decimation:
http://www.jameslafond.com/article.php?id=2339&pr=0 < "Neanderthals who survived into
their
thirties looked like
they had been pulled out of a Humvee
that was hit by an IED. One fellow was missing an eye, an arm, a
thumb and a foot!
These guys suffered from no known diseases. However,
their main food [according
to chemical analysis of
their bones] was
the auroch?basically a rodeo bull?which
they had
to kill be wrestling with it, stabb
decimation: no it's a reference
to signal processing
mircea_popescu: how DID you come up with
the nick
then ? you
terrorist you.
decimation: funkenstein_: I was unaware of
the musical use of
the
term
BingoBoingo: 7th's major or minor also cool unless
the rest of
the chord is being filled in
BingoBoingo prefers circle of circle of minor fifths, prefers
the devil's note
funkenstein_: "Major
thirds move quickly around
the 53-note circle of fifths, because of
the decimation chosen
to give preference
to
the fifth as representing
the smallest change."
AdrianoOliveira: decimation: our economy is a mess at
the moment... and I don't
think
things will be back on
track soon.

trinque: jurov:
they've got some new SJW policy about being a "safe place"
assbot: Logged on 17-04-2015 09:25:23; mircea_popescu:
this is not recoverable.
decimation: now it's stable, and
they want it
to go
to
the moon
decimation: I remember
the haters all complaining
that bitcoin was 'not stable'

trinque recalls
the rabid euphoria on /r/bitcoinmarkets
AdrianoOliveira: as it is not
the case anymore,
they are loosing interest on bitcoin
AdrianoOliveira: these just want
to buy something
that is skyrocketing
to sell in a couple days for a profit
AdrianoOliveira: decimation: at least for
the older ones
that's
true... people under 30 actually don't remember/didn't experience
that
decimation: AdrianoOliveira: right so people ought
to remember
that it's a good idea
to HODL a strong currency
AdrianoOliveira: decimation: I was just a kid at
that
time so I can't confirm... but I remember for instance
that people run into
the supermarket on
the same day
they received
they paycheck
to buy groceries because prices used
to double overnight
decimation: AdrianoOliveira: I've heard
that during
the hyperinflation in brazil, most people held gold in bank deposit boxes
decimation: so if
that's
the case, bitcoin is 'on sale'
decimation: I donno, it seems
to me
that as long as any money is going into bitcoin,
the 'price' relative
to fiat is going
to increas
AdrianoOliveira: decimation: lol... it seems
they avoid buying it if it is cheap... it is better
to buy high and sell low, hehe
jurov: obv
that won't work if it's going down
jurov: decimation:
they want
to HODL
decimation: AdrianoOliveira:
they only want
to
trade it if it is 'rich'?
AdrianoOliveira: decimation: it is indeed. most brazilians avoid
the exchanges for several reasons... also people lost interest since
the $1000/btc
decimation: jurov: do many people speak german
there?
AdrianoOliveira: jurov: besides
the
taxes, if
they
try
to sell/buy larger quantities
they will move
the market faster againt
them
AdrianoOliveira: decimation: at least for
the Brazilian market I can confirm
that...
today's volume at local exchanges was about 280 BTC and I got a user offering me 140 out of exchanges
☟︎ jurov: yeah, i suppose it's better
to sell 10% lower under
the counter and avoid
taxes
decimation: jurov: I suspect much btc
trading happens over
the counter
jurov: there are
too much we don't know
decimation: heh yeah. is slovenia full of ethnics
too?
jurov: decimation no she'd see it a confirmation "yes
they know it's good,
too"
decimation: jurov: note
that ms. socialism failed
to acknowledge
that part
AdrianoOliveira: I started pricing a model for
them for
the brazilian market (basically an option which would cover
the risks of dolar and bitcoin)
decimation: jurov: lol good point - except I
thought it was mostly
turks
decimation: where does anyone
trade bitcoin options?
AdrianoOliveira: basically I first came here while studying
the pricing of bitcoin options
AdrianoOliveira: i was a regular "listener" here... but I am absent for
the last couple months
jurov: decimation:
they are already in germany building nordic system
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 20-05-2015 14:30:35; mircea_popescu: for as long as
the free herring still lasts,
they can run around derping about how
they meditatively comprehensified
the deep secrets of
the universe.
assbot: Logged on 20-05-2015 21:58:54; ascii_field: what of
the baseband ?
bad_duck: bitcoind?
that's some old versions!
danielpbarron: mine just has
the date in
the block (version 0.7.2 and 0.5.3.x)
bad_duck: but
the node need
to be connected / synched
to get
the "right"
timestamp, during initial sync / update after downtime
the
timestamp on
the left would likely be wrong
bad_duck: for
the last 2 blocks, on
the left my
timestamp, on
the right
the
timestamp in block
