copypaste: mircea_popescu: you should probably put
target="_blank" on
the ad <a>
tag so it poens in a new
tab
cazalla: gee
that didn't
take long for people
to accuse copypaste of being mircea_popescu
cazalla: decimation, sorta what i was
thinking in regards
to double spending.. why would
they need
to do it when
they can just pay you and steal it back
decimation: usg's style is
to seize someone's bitcoin and put it in
their vault
cazalla: i vaguely recollect someone was using
the machines at
the ABC (gov owned
tv channel)
to mine bitcoin back around 2011
menahem: decimation i was
told
that canadian gov employees were mining bitcoin. however, when i asked about pools and block rewards,
they had no idea what I was
talking about. so... it definitely seems highly unlikely.
decimation: it does seem likely
that someone in
the world has an interest in cuckolding infrastructure
assbot: Logged on 13-05-2015 22:20:29; asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu will probably suggest
that cn, ru, etc. will follow suit with -their-
tv boxes
decimation: I find it
terribly unlikely
that any formal usg employee is mining bitcoin
mircea_popescu: how is a derpy usg with delusions of separation and self importance different or better from
the numerous groups of derpy miners with similar delusions
that came and went over
the years ?
assbot: Logged on 13-05-2015 22:19:52; danielpbarron: i don't have a problem with USG getting 1/3 of all
the bitcoin;
the can only spend it once
decimation: no, but it is not likely
that wot structure would be uniform either
mircea_popescu: Server Load0.03 heh i dun
think
this will be a problem
mircea_popescu: decimation i would imagine
the larger it gets,
the more useful it is.
mod6: decimation: hrm. could be i guess. i'll check into
that.
decimation: and
that being
that 'intersecting person' is probably a valuable position
trinque: mircea_popescu: selection
thing isn't working, last paragraph?
mod6: this is bizzare. i can only get
the ssh keys
to work /after/ I set a password on
the user acount on
the instnace (in /etc/shadow). if
the user doesn't have a password set, just asks for a pw when connecting. (gentoo uclibc hardened) am i missing something obvious?
decimation: one
thing
that occured
to me about
the 'wot concept' is
that one benefits by having your wot intersect your 'enemies' wot
menahem: i don't know whats up - but links
to selections aren't working for me.
they were at first, but not anymore.
copypaste: Let me finish rebuilding
these boards, it's a pain in
the ass
to do it manually...
mircea_popescu: and i'm not entirely sure
the meta-universe is open
to you at all.
there isn't any space for you
to "Act upon" in
this enlightened, gender savvy, "i am an actor in a movie and i read
the script" sense.
assbot: Why "representative democracy" doesn't work and doesn't make sense on
Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... (
http://bit.ly/1e2CTQT )
trinque: it's strange and a bit exciting
to
think
that a single human can do something which
then becomes almost *environmental*
to
the others
decimation: my cable modem 'received an update' as soon as I plugged it into
the cable network. even
though I owned
the modem, I had absolutely no say or ability
to stop
the install
trinque: sounded a bit like "after all, we're
the Romans"
trinque: it was
that
there's nothing
to act upon within "bitcoin is bitcoin"
trinque: works out when considering
the context
the second statement is made within
trinque: sort of like "will steam engines be used" -> "yes, after all,
they exist"
mircea_popescu: trinque human freedom is a very limited
thing, after all.
mircea_popescu: mike wakes up, checks stats, is all o.O gets excited, comes here, says so before reading
the log,
then we link him
to
this k ?
trinque: the idea
that human action inside a monetary system will reflect
the incentives/disincentives of
that
trinque: I begin
to understand -> mircea_popescu:you'll come out of it
thinking what it needs you
to.
mircea_popescu: "you can't halfass bitcoin" is
the
thing. which property is why i was musing
that it's more like a force of nature
than anything else.
mircea_popescu: this
thing cuts a lot more universally
than one'd reasonably expect, and quite scarily in its degree.
mircea_popescu: trinque essentially, an application of "bitcoin is bitcoin" is what sunk gavin.
they still mostly can't believe it happened, but it did. it will again. in practice, you either implement a broken, pared down version of bitcoin, in which case bitcoin defeats you, or else you implement a correct version, in which case... you've implemented bitcoin.
copypaste: For it
to show on all
threads and indexes
copypaste: I have
to force rebuild
the boards we agreed
to
copypaste: I stuck it on all
the boards. 8chan uses a style of rebuilding where a new post rebuilds a
thread on a board
copypaste: OK. I'm going
to embed
that now. I hope it behaves well under load.
Time will
tell
copypaste: I didn't notice
the different URL, sorry ;)
assbot: Logged on 02-02-2014 18:18:59; mircea_popescu:
today at nsa headquarters, "sir, i would like
to apply for permission
to spend 10bn usd dollars in btc equivalent by dumpting our stash"
copypaste: Oh yeah. Please use
the b64 version like before
assbot: Logged on 14-05-2015 02:55:36; asciilifeform: (and it would have
to fall on a different continent entirely)
mircea_popescu: i
think
that argument holds water,
to a large degree. recall
the "bitcoin pervers
the nsa" discussion with alf maybe a year ago ?
trinque: specifically
that 'bitcoin is bitcoin' is a reason in itself
trinque: mircea_popescu: what's your read of
the exchange between pete and myself; I was hearing circular logic (no offense
to pete)
mircea_popescu: shooting psalms out of
their assholes at
the unbelievers.
mircea_popescu: st
thomas comes riding a flaming horse made out of female virgin saint asses
assbot: Logged on 13-05-2015 22:17:26; asciilifeform: possibly even pegged
to usd.
assbot: Logged on 13-05-2015 22:15:06;
trinque: danielpbarron: not if it's all remotely diddlable
BingoBoingo: Really
the sort of
thing Australia needs more of considering
their rabbit problem
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you gotta appreciate,
the usg is not
the only one mining, nor has it been. at
this point,
the deployment you contemplate might allow it
to catch up, but won't do much more
than
that.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: One's clealy a lever action,
the other one appears
to be a Ruger 10/22 (judging off of
the magazing
they laid on
the OTHER SIDE of
the levergun)
copypaste: Which is
the new vogue of adblocking software. It blocks crcossorigin requests.
copypaste: This has
the added benefit of bypassing uBlock.
copypaste: And also send you
the real user's IP so you get stats.
copypaste: I wonder if I could just proxy from your
trilema.com PHP script
cazalla: find out soon, i rang
their contact centre and
they said
they'd email
the images
BingoBoingo: cazalla: Pretty clear
those are sporting equipment
mircea_popescu: well alternatively you could just import
the php from my server into your page
copypaste: Sure,
that will work. You'll lose out on some stats stuff
though
that you could get by running it on your server
