mircea_popescu: how many hours did you spend building
a bitcoin something ?
mircea_popescu: so since 2014 let's say, since you recall keyser, we could say you spent about 2k hours, or
a full year's workhours, on this.
mircea_popescu: ok, but put out
a figure. how many man hours does the concern take
a year ?
mircea_popescu: there have been
a lot of these pies in the sky to be concerned about to date, huh.
concernedscaling:
a cesspool of ideas and spam, just
a tool for controlling people. The fighting about core vs bcash vs seg2x vs miners vs blahblah is entertaining. Sad that I need to take part to see how the market reacts
mircea_popescu: concernedscaling why not make yourself
a pgp key and reg with deedbot at that ?
mircea_popescu: old will was right, "the world's
a stage". what he omitted to point out is that the hall only goes
a yard whereas the stage goes on for miles. out of the building, and into the mists.
mircea_popescu: yes, in the strictest of senses, the obscure masturbatory activities of desocialized youths "exist". but they do not socially exist, and for
a very good reason : they're asocial to begin with.
mircea_popescu: right. so this is also the problem here : you keep trying to make sense of the situation left after
a division by 0.
concernedscaling: g it was
a fork (it's like Litecoin in my mind, which "scales" as well). But even more concerning is Bitcoin with segwit, and my current BTC on this upgraded protocol. I have not seen much talk about these issues in here lately, is there
a reason for this? It seems like most are underestimating the threat of this fake bcash and segwit.
mircea_popescu: sooo obama lifted all-cuba ban, to be enforced instead on
a hotel-by-hotel basis ?
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, the lulzy tim swanson has
a blog, on which he uses trilema notes, and derps insistently. i'm taking
a bet nobody ever heard of it.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> neither is
a toyota's worth of orcland << Toyota's worth of orland in Thailand will lack any centrality
trinque: they had
a great time in prohibition; where are they now?
trinque: as far as land ownership, not too sure how much I want to marry
a piece of real estate anyway.
mircea_popescu: personally went across the whole thing in
a day. quite doable. especially if going at night. locals are pretty nuts with the timings, crowd within the same hours, are apparently petrified of driving at night
ben_vulpes: you know i have objected to skinny dipping more and more of late on the grounds that i will get cold and grumpy within five minutes so why don't you just strip and get in and i'll make
a fire up here and catcall
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: where i'm from there's
a layer of maybe 6 inches of warm water in the summer
ben_vulpes: i've lived near cold bodies of water my whole life, have no insulation, and i would like to get in warm water on
a whim
mircea_popescu: alternatively, simply buy them passage in
a container. though that more reasonable when going to kekistans, i guess
a111: Logged on 2017-05-14 17:29 asciilifeform: asciilifeform had
a 1958 'britannica', made in usa, that he fished out of
a dumpster as
a boy. it was superb, as far as encyclopaedia goes, about on par with famous большая советская энциклопедия . but today it lives packed in
a crate.
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> we had
a shit 90s << My fambly poor. Grew up with bullshit Funk & Wagnalls
a111: Logged on 2017-11-09 00:46 asciilifeform: asciilifeform likewise will have
a rail car's worth of goodies to liquidate
ben_vulpes: in other news, vancouver washington elected
a dead man to city council

a vps off your vps machine im sure.

☟︎ BingoBoingo: Does airline treat this as
a bag or
a something else
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: the two-diode crackpottery is definitely
a favorite of mine
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: several java-"random" selections from
a list of characters
a111: Logged on 2017-06-01 18:03 asciilifeform: if you make
a ~two~-diode reader, you can make it ignore 'unstraight' (from its pov) bars. and this opens you up to
a method :
a111: Logged on 2017-10-18 17:10 mircea_popescu: stopping smoking doesn't reduce cancer, because the sort of shameful shitsacks that GET cancer will get it, whether from smoking or not. if not from smoking -- they'll find
a different stressor.
mircea_popescu: before opium caught on there was
a brain there upon which opium will have caught on later on.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-02 00:04 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform seed is
a combo of site-produced TRNG entropy and player-set (with defaults if playher doesn't feel like setting). you can change your portion at any time.
mircea_popescu: there's
a lot of wisdom we ended up baking into teh whole paste thing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is
a compromised key by definition, two people have the pq
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, n without e is not
a complete pubkey, hence the e,N,comment standard. nevertheless, N is
a sufficient index of the e,N,comment line that properly constitutes
a pubkey.
mircea_popescu has made "varza calita" however you call it, cabbage carmelized with bacon, with CAYENNE paprika. holy shit this is
a good idea, had to come to new world to discover.
trinque: what happens to the interactions with deedbot if
a collision occurs?
trinque: everyone present knows what constitutes
a full pubkey
a111: Logged on 2017-08-28 23:10 mircea_popescu: kanzure " Obviously there is no possiblity of meaning outside of
a structure of authority, and the authority can not be predicated on the meaning."
mircea_popescu: that's unrelated to this conversation. N is not
a hash, it's the modulus.
mircea_popescu: in any case. there's no requirement that you be able to use the word "car" to go shopping in it ; and similarily there's no requirement that you be able to use
a key's fingerprint to sign, or check signatures with it. the intention of the fingerprint is to permit you to reference
a specific key unambiguously to
a third party, such as when asking for it.
mircea_popescu: i had nfi you object to names as
a matter of principle.
mircea_popescu: imo it's
a schelling point found at considerable expense and of significant value
mircea_popescu: the fact that we're still using
a what was it, 400 char line protocol has some bearing on what we call things.
mircea_popescu: but somehow commerce hasn't come at astandstill by the fact that you can call
a folded sheet of paper as well as
a 100`000 ton transport item "boat"
