assbot: Some say Gavin can kill 1000 trolls in a single swing : Bitcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1zVys4b )
mircea_popescu: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/34zini/some_say_gavin_can_kill_1000_trolls_in_a_single/ << check out the post-structuralist world. idiots on either side of an imaginary divide discover that well... they're really just idiots, the divide was imaginary, stuff like that.
cazalla: don't have em, not for a while, fucked em off given the situation here
mircea_popescu: i wonder what rabbitrandy tastes like
cazalla: i guess more so danger, they have issues but whatever i liked it so whatevers i link what i want
mircea_popescu: is that jpg proposing the derpy chicks above are somehow dangerous ?
mircea_popescu: cazalla anyway, great ass. tits easier to fix.
davout: cazalla: topkek
cazalla: https://img.4plebs.org/boards/pol/image/1411/84/1411847912290.jpg while browsing, not related to my bitching of the missus
cazalla: and to think how bad i was jonesing to hit that lol
cazalla: (not that i really give a shit these days)
cazalla: davout, well my missus has one of thise 20mb fat asses
davout: cazalla: which do you prefer? bumping blocks to 20mb, or shrinking them to 100kb?
cazalla: which do you prefer, great ass or tits
mircea_popescu: but tits, i think, more commonly.
mircea_popescu: i had noticed before how extremely rare it is for a great ass to find itself on a pretty face.
cazalla: u know, butterface, all those gifs and no face, odds are good you'll be paperbagging that cutue
cazalla: cutie? i see no face in that gif, could be butter for all i know
davout: mircea_popescu: ah, i misread, thought the 1mn thing was about gavin
mircea_popescu: and yeah she;s a total cutie. http://sexslaveemporium.tumblr.com/post/74400459676
davout: mircea_popescu: lol when was that?
mircea_popescu: anyone else remember his "THE BITCOIN COMMUNITY ~must~ give me 1mn BTC to do stuff I came up with because that's the only way IT'll matter!11", or am i the only one ?
mircea_popescu: hard to bead diablo-d3 at that.
cazalla: davout, i think he is more likely to be trolling than a canary as you said on /r/bitcoin.. the guy has had his childish tantrums on bitcointalk before in 40pt font
mircea_popescu: "why did you hit this man in the head ?" "i thought maybe it'd do him good" "why ?" "dunno" judge thinks it through "alright, case dismissed. maybe it does do him good."
mircea_popescu: in other words : the space of possibilities is necessarily and by definition very vast and entirely open. this however does not make it automatically also interesting.
mircea_popescu: if it was, he totally won that bet.
mircea_popescu: maybe hitler's plan was to lose the war, kill himself, and have his idiocy remade by the winners.
mircea_popescu: davout more importantly, who's to care.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, but the new ones reak of how can i leverage my succesful random videos with new, non-random random videos with adsense
davout: who's to know
mircea_popescu: you know, maybe the shrimp i had earlier and am now digesting REALLY MEANT to be eaten. it was its plan all along. i fell into its well laid out trap!
mircea_popescu: cazalla honestly i like the new boxxy much better. shit she's saying is of course a lot dumber than before, but at least now it's banal too. easier to ignore.
davout: is that so stupid? not sure if sarcasm
mircea_popescu: you're not about to introduce your own rendition of the meta-nsa theme are you.
davout: i mean, if he's compromised and is actually against raising the limit, he has to be happy about it not going too well, right
davout: cazalla: i can't help to think that if the guy's really compromised than he probably feels pretty good about the way his proposals are going
mircea_popescu: i think he went from salesman trying to impress & get a raise to salesman desperate to avoid the glengarry prize for third place.
cazalla: and anyway, even if he made a good argument for an increase in the blocksize, his current proposition differs to the incremental increase he suggested only a few months back, can't respect a guy that secede his position so quickly regardless of merit
scoopbot_revived: Views From A Shithole, or Periplus Through Stupidity http://trilema.com/2015/views-from-a-shithole-or-periplus-through-stupidity/
cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-05-2015#1127582 <<< pretty sure that's bait so he can turn around and say see, people troll me regardless of what i say therefore my 20mb blocksize limit argument has merit ☝︎
mircea_popescu: not to mention the woman, w/e her name was
mircea_popescu: and speaking of ukraine weird, am i the only one to think Ю́щенко's disappearing act from ukrainian politics is weird ? the guy was strong enough to be worth poisoning a decade ago, gets 1% in 2012 ?
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: this comparison was widely made in ru sphere << to my [dis]credit, i just came up wiuth it on my own. i guess i should read more.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there is no discussion about the difficulty going to outer space.
asciilifeform: which one would you rather take
asciilifeform: put it this way, falling on ice onto one's arse delivers more kinetic energy than any bullet
asciilifeform: 2) not only flesh but infrastructure - are fragile. 'tsar bomba' knocked out power lines for many km despite being tested far from civilization (emp by zipping charged particles through van allen belt, a well-understood effect.) picture just one of these over, e.g., new york
asciilifeform: the interesting thing is, as i pointed out in link, 1) kinetics (how quickly energy is delivered) matter far more than thermodynamics (how much is delivered)
decimation: at any rate, as I wrote later, it seems that the actual amount of U in the ground isn't really fully known
decimation: yeah some deuterium spices up the party
asciilifeform: re: nuke thread: decimation has it. nobody (save possibly pakistan) fields pure fission warheads today. not even for the tiny 'dial-a-yield' things fashionable in usa & ru. too 'dirty' and not considerably cheaper than 2-stage affair
asciilifeform: (solar panels, in contrast, at least do not suffer from the problem of becoming proportionately more useless with each one made)
asciilifeform: esp. if they were to become at all common and shoot the difficulty into outer space
asciilifeform: one can debate the solar panels - but this seems like a hands-down defeat.
assbot: Logged on 10-05-2015 23:16:02; mircea_popescu: toaster is kinda dumb, but ceramic tiles for warm floor is worth doing.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-05-2015#1127543 << we did the tile here, iirc. my argument that they will never repay the cost of their manufacture seems ever closer to utter certainty ☝︎
assbot: I think you drastically overestimate the military importance of nuclear weapons. on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1cGIr39 )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this comparison was widely made in ru sphere
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: kal-007 << 100% sop today, ua being example, yes
danielpbarron: 151.0 makes it start the selection at the "xii" footnote link
danielpbarron: browser bug on my end then i guess
danielpbarron: i can produce other urls that do work
mircea_popescu: yup, just tried.
danielpbarron: doesn't jump down to that part of the page and doesn't select the text
assbot: Why "representative democracy" doesn't work and doesn't make sense on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1cGCbIz )
assbot: Logged on 11-05-2015 00:08:52; mircea_popescu: sheeeit i should have linked http://trilema.com/2015/why-representative-democracy-doesnt-work-and-doesnt-make-sense/#selection-151.0-157.386 instead. gotta learn to use this great tool now!
danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-05-2015#1127561 << didn't work, and I was able to re-create my own not-working selection -> http://trilema.com/2015/why-representative-democracy-doesnt-work-and-doesnt-make-sense/#selection-151.0-157.22 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: this seemed pretty ridiculous at the time, and perhaps it is. or perhaps it's part of a playbook, and the same strategy was later used to try and "turn public opinion" in the ukraine.
mircea_popescu: in unrelated tinfoil hat fodder : i dunno if anyone remembers the one time world came closest to nuclear war (1983), or the fate of kal-007. the thing is tho, the russians at the time claimed the bad flightpath was deliberate provocation, and that the cia had warned nixon not to go with that flight.
mircea_popescu: also, consider that a comparison of new nuclear with old coal is pretty stupid. you're not advertising deployument of 1970s soviet nuclear plants. consequently, you don't get to compare to 1950s coal plants.
decimation: uranium is heavy; it'll go to the bottom.
mircea_popescu: take a look at fukishima to understand this problem.
mircea_popescu: i suspect coal is much clenaner then.
decimation: well, my favorite criteria are "pollution sits in a pool" rather than "pollution is spammed over planet's surface"
decimation: so to be clear, it's your position that it's better w.r.t. to "pollution" for electricity to come from coal vice nuclear fission?
mircea_popescu: looky, mercury is heavy. it'll go to the bottom.
decimation: well, that's no reason to piss mercury into the ocean
mircea_popescu: if the peons didn't have the printing folk to give them free money, they wouldn't afford bluefin tuna.
decimation: plus I like to eat bluefin tuna, and coal emissions are ruining it
decimation: "Uranium and thorium have concentrations of roughly 1 ppm and
mircea_popescu: lead, mercury etc are the problem, not radiation
mircea_popescu: how does that work ?
decimation: the alternative to nuclear fission is to emit radiation via coal burning
mod6: here's today's update on v0.5.3.1+Orphanage_Thermonuke: http://dpaste.com/1TX25HH.txt
mircea_popescu: if the need isn't there... i guess go derp on reddit about things of great interest and matters of great import.
mircea_popescu: if the need is there, the fix is obvious. pay more per btc, so miners get more mining done, so more txn get in per day.
mircea_popescu: there's a very simple way to decrease interval between blocks : gavin can just go buy some miners and stfu.
assbot: gavinandresen comments on Please remind me once again why we can't decrease the time interval between blocks instead of increasing their size ... ( http://bit.ly/1cGvUww )

decimation: "Compare this 25 ml per year per person of high-level nuclear waste with the other traditional forms of waste we currently dump: municipal waste 517 kg per year per person; hazardous waste 83 kg per year per year"
decimation: well, he was writing about the uk
assbot: Ch 24 Page 170: Sustainable Energy - without the hot air | David MacKay ... ( http://bit.ly/1cGviHl )
decimation: That?s the same volume as 35 olympic swimming pools. "
decimation: than 2 litres. Even when we multiply by 60 million people, the lifetime vol-
decimation: year, a lifetime?s worth of high-level nuclear waste would amount to less
decimation: well, sure but it would have been more efficient to use it at lower enrichment levels in the first place
mircea_popescu: decimation most of them use the thin walled sphere with boron chain fillings. they can be safely dismantled.
mircea_popescu: not really, unless it's actually fired, the stuff can be reclaimed (and has, on a grand scale - that's what START is really all about)
