trinque: They interact with an internal model of the external world – the realm primus – and interpret this interaction
as experience of the “real world”. << yeah, and for some people that realm involves jesus and satan, others republicans and democrats
mircea_popescu: "Why does that matter? Because people have a right to democratic institutions. People have a right to vote on or have a say in matters that govern their lives. Bitcoin,
as it exists now, takes that away from people."
mircea_popescu: part of this is his complete neglect of investing in politics, which is why
as a senile old man he's writing blanket checks to the government.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski and amusingly, this is a very indicative symptom of the problem. if "inflation didn't exist" and all this created value, people would care
as much about 10 bucks now
as 50 years ago. hey, it's a lunch.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, silbert is a guy who wants to get his name associated with the space, ver is a meanwhile broke dude who imagines that if he keeps being mentioned he stays relevant,
as if, and voorhees just wants to keep his name in the press lest people forget.
assbot: Logged on 03-04-2015 22:30:07; jurov: "Erik Voorhees
as Founder of ShapeShift, announces seed round with Barry Silbert, Roger Ver" further down
mircea_popescu:
as long
as we're ticking off words off wordlists we might not even bother with the industry at all.
pete_dushenski:
as long
as the press release says "happy troops appreciate reminders of home"
mircea_popescu: not the point. the point is that cadbury has the same relationship with random derp buying chocolate
as pharma company with random derp taking pills.
mircea_popescu: "
As you may recall, there was public outcry during the fall of Mt. Gox
as to why the Bitcoin Foundation “never once warned Bitcoin investors about keeping deposits in Mt. Gox, despite clear red flags dating back to at least April 2013"
mircea_popescu: i think stylistically the 20s looked just
as broken in 1935.
nubbins`: "The remainder of the Gentoo Handbook focuses on OpenRC
as the default init support system. If systemd is wanted instead, or are planning to use Gnome 3.8 and later (which requires systemd), please consult the systemd page
as it elaborates on the different configuration settings and methods."
mircea_popescu: just
as much an ethnotype
as the turkic heavy ass set.
whaack: gabriel_laddel: such
as?
chetty: I got
as far
as having it claim it built a static, but then it really wasn't and wouldn't run without the libs
nubbins`: i think it has to at least be /possible/ in order to qualify
as advice
cazalla: kylie might've been it when you watched it
as a teenager, but brooke satchwell was it when i was that age :P
mircea_popescu:
as if attempt #795876 is going to fare better than 1 through 795875.
BingoBoingo: Dude comes in
as thing dies, promises to start new thing with the exact same form of the "dead" thing
mircea_popescu: anyway, this playbook is
as old
as fucking herbert hoover. "fuck up. then replace the guys that 'fucked up' with another guy, who is going to admit to what everyone knows while fail to mention what nobody wants to hear. he can pose
as somehow 'different' for the public of imbeciles, and we can continue teaching the controversy"
mircea_popescu: nice try olivier, but it doth not wash. masquerading
as a part of the solution while failing to credit the actual mechanisms and trying to use the banal shit to avoid discussing the important shit does not work.
mircea_popescu: "That new director decided that the only way to still get funds at that point, was to focus solely on funding core development, in the hope that people would see that
as a good cause. But people were smart enough not to trust the Foundation anymore. "
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: But what of the sausage in the grave. Experience that homemade
as well?
danielpbarron: They are very short and terse in the text (just
as the Bitcoin White Paper is) and you are invited to run the software yourself. The install process is simple, and then the software either does what it developers claim it does, or it does not. Its all simple and straightforward.
danielpbarron: It is only now that Edward Snowden has confirmed that GPG is beyone the reach of the NSA, that their ignorant anti GPG nonsense is forever dispelled
as garbage.
decimation remembers 'light wand' attached to a serial terminal he once used
as a clerk
junseth: Hmm... well, I would say that ther eis probably no such thing
as a unregulated market. But any place that exists wher epeople transact is a market.
junseth: decimation: What do you define
as "manipulation?"
mircea_popescu: so : five to ten
as bad college today
as compared to 1965, which costs 100k instead of 10k. this is about 50x to 100x factor.
junseth: Haha, but
as you can see, at nights, ont he weekends, I do Bitcoin
junseth: Haha. Well, I wouldn't say I have heard of Bitcoin assets so much
as stumbled on ya'lls stuff from time to time.
mircea_popescu: afaik the paste (very finely ground seeds with butter) is widely used
as a filling
nubbins`: but, fwiw, you also raise eyebrows buying biopsy punches
as a private citizen
mircea_popescu: "ShapeShift was built
as a demonstration of this principle: exchanges occur without custodianship of user funds. Indeed, there are no user accounts whatsoever."
jurov: "Erik Voorhees
as Founder of ShapeShift, announces seed round with Barry Silbert, Roger Ver" further down
☟︎ trinque: anyhow, proceed
as you like
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform eventually that list jurov keeps will become unusable
as a flat thing, you are aware.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform only whores masquerading
as programmers.
trinque: asciilifeform: heh I replied to you there
as undata and the opinion still stands
trinque: "using numbers
as instructions should always be avoided"
mircea_popescu: wever, it is always to be avoided to use numbers
as instructions. Since an instruction word is indistinguishable from a number word, some means must be provided to avoid using numbers
as instructions. How this is accomplished is described under "BUILDING A PROGRAM". Also, how we convert from a 2000 to the binary representation shown is discussed later."
mircea_popescu: "The computer has no way of knowing by examining the word itself, whether a word is intended
as a number or an instruction. Under most circumstances it is the numbers which are operated on and the instructions which are followed
as instruction. The LGP-30 has the ability to operate on instructions
as numbers. This ability is not only valuable but a feature which makes for the great power of stored program computers. Ho
mircea_popescu:
as opposed to, whole thing occured to him this morning
as he was sitting on shitter and contemplating what a laughingstock he is
mircea_popescu: look. whatever whatever may be built
as or not, i have two basic expectations. one is, for fucking machinery to behave the same way from night to next evening. the other, albeit weaker, is that if i get a "minimal work" thing i actually have to do minimal work.
☟︎ nubbins`: no code changes i make should be misconstrued
as being implicitly sane in any fashion
nubbins`: i will probably be doing this
as a general rule going forward
mod6: this works "
as designed" on deb6 - so you might wanna put a note in there what platform this is intended for.
cazalla: i looked for a legal contact, not finding anything, might have to be sent to time inc
as they appear to own fortune.com
mircea_popescu: they don't
as much
as have a fucking legal address on the site, anything.
jurov: alf whines all the time about
as if obama took something from him.. so i'm trying to compare
jurov: aha. and why it's so important that putin "didn't write", but just takes
as he seems fit without elaborating on paper?
mircea_popescu: "Mr. Theocharakis never characterized the technical teams of the institutions with the phrase attributed to him," the ministry said in a statement. "On the contrary ... he referred to them
as saying they include 'top-notch people with impressive skills.'"
mircea_popescu: the imf didn't give them money so
as not to get it back.
mircea_popescu: universal ip,
as a sha512 hash. no more of this "os doesn't know its ip" bs.
mircea_popescu: okok. rishonim
as opposed to achronim, modern commentary
as opposed to ancient. and the kotzker guy is just some famous rabbi.
mircea_popescu: artifexd baby we need that thing so we can use it
as a model to make a new dhcp too!
mircea_popescu: they happen to matter a whole of a heck more than whether you're either right or reasonable,
as it happens.
nubbins`: canada isn't really a country so much
as it is a collection of geographically and culturally disparate regions
mircea_popescu: necessarily,
as something becomes "popular" the percentage of imbeciles increases.
BingoBoingo: <nubbins`>
as if the future path of north america is single-country << Sure it is, Go Go Los Zetas
nubbins`:
