nubbins`: ascii_field oh wait
this is just a blob, isn't it?
trinque: because
they become incompatible,
then go off
to eventually die?
mircea_popescu: it does not work. might as well grab
the moon with a
tweezer
trinque: not "winning" in
the sense of a fork?
trinque: is it just a matter of preserving
the existing chain?
mircea_popescu: so : yeah, usg&friends
thinks it's engaging me on its own
terms.
mircea_popescu: this is not a discussion of anything but
the hard laws.
mircea_popescu: heck, i'll vote WITH
them on
the voting stage of
things
mircea_popescu: understand :
they can stand on
their fucking head. "vote" ? what fucking vote ?
ascii_field: neh from my perch it looks like
they're gearing up for an elementary meat war of conventional nodes
mircea_popescu: usgavin's been on a kick about
this imaginary hardware
that will run his 200
trillion jiggabit nodes.
ascii_field: ^ my puny brain does not get
the meaning of
this
mircea_popescu: they need imaginary hardware
to support
their imaginary "technologies"
assbot: Logged on 25-03-2015 17:39:09; ascii_field: i utterly understand
the desire
to 'tivoize'
these
things so
they don't get
turned into phoundation nodes by lamers. but
this can be done without idiot waste.
trinque: mircea_popescu: someone should have a business doing aftermarket mods on
these
nubbins`: gzip:
turdel.gz: not in gzip format
trinque: how hard would it be
to break
the accelerometer?
assbot: Logged on 25-03-2015 17:37:53; ascii_field: ben_vulpes: no, nodes don't get updated << so, let's go into
this in detail.
they ship with all
the seed ips
they will ever have? for
the record i proclaim
this
to be retarded. -keys- are
the constants of our world, not ip addrs
mircea_popescu: trinque im
thinking
the same,
this is something readily resolved in court.
trinque: should've sued instead of just
thanking
the
tech for restoring access
to
their property
ascii_field thought
that mircea_popescu was asking why
the machines are offered for purchase rather
than, as often happens with such equipment, for lease
ascii_field: i
thought mircea_popescu was asking why a firm would purchase rather
than lease
the machines
mircea_popescu: 'We as a company own all of
the machines.
There is no outstanding balance and we've already had
the
tech come out
to unlock
them."
mircea_popescu: we're not
talking 100 bucks for a piece of plastic here.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i don't get it. who would "buy" such a
thing ?
ascii_field: (phun phact for non-u.s. folks: all u.s. dollar notes have exactly
the same physical dimensions.)
mircea_popescu: ascii_field im
talking money cut out of a fucking notebook.
mircea_popescu: check it out, bitcointalk scams fooled
tons of "early adopters", "world changers" etc.
ascii_field: and it
takes some actual work
to bleach a 1usd note
to get anything like plausible paper for benjie
ascii_field: mircea_popescu:
they did
try, and result could only fool a muppet
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the "Copy machine money" :
this is a sad necessity. if it weren't present, muppets WOULD "try it", and discover "it works", and srsly financial collapse. for real.
mircea_popescu: nubbins`> batorade (tm) << secreted by
the batshit insane ?
mircea_popescu: trinque oddly
that
thing doesn't load any content for me. either im not drunk enough or you broke it.
mircea_popescu: <assbot>
The User is Drunk ... << why not go all
the way and admit it. "the user is stupid,
therefore worthless. so am i. please pay me money because worthless idiots are people
too. HUMAN RIGHTS ARE IRREVERSIBLE!!11"
jurov: <fluffypony> Romania: Internet vs. Roads << slovakia
the same
ascii_field: ^ vintage
thread. but reposted for
the record
ascii_field: 'We as a company own all of
the machines.
There is no outstanding balance and we've already had
the
tech come out
to unlock
them. Due
to some business changes, we want
to move
the machines around
the shop floor
to reconfigure our machining cell however as we've done more research, we've found
that
there is a small board in
the electrical panel of
the machine
that houses a gyroscope so
that if
the machine is moved/tilted,
ascii_field: anybody recall
the gps-boobytrapped cnc mills
thread
ascii_field: 'my
targeting computer was programmed not
to fire at usg'
trinque: get enough of
those
together and "progress concentrate" starts
to form, which can be bottled and sold at Whole Foods
trinque: yep given
the right spotlight, any hag becomes irresistable
trinque: Ideapod has given me courage
to share my insights with its delightful community and made me realise
that
the problem wasn't my personal content, but my personal context. "
trinque: "I've always felt as if my brain was always wired for a short circuit or at least in a way
that wasn't
too appealing for anyone else but me.
trinque: looks like uh...
twitter social
thing, part 2352580238
trinque: punkman: hah I just quoted
that part myself
punkman: " Is
this your only job? No. I have a full
time job changing
the world."
nubbins`: i generally wake
the roommates, not
the other way around 8)
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: do
they? or does
the dependapotomus and its six screaming offspring wake'em
mircea_popescu: you know, stupid people sleep ad libitum by
the definition of
those
terms.
ascii_field has a possibly different imagination of 'rich'
than mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: if you b-a her name it's all in
there because she's one of
those (unfamous, anon irrelevant people
that appear suddenly and on one
topic. as opposed
to say lenin.)
mircea_popescu: nubbins`
the ugly but aging sex in
the city aspirationalist
that "found satoshi's identity".
then ascii_field
thought she was rich
then she wasn't.
mircea_popescu: leah goodman poor, which is
to say he gets a few 100s of discretionary
tspending a week and gets
to - at
the lord's pleasure - inhabit a decent mancave. for now.
mircea_popescu: and
to round up
the "sam altman is poor"
thing : yes, he actually is.
danielpbarron: he claimed
to not know who whoever someone here compared him
to
nubbins`: what makes me
think
this guy is 25
assbot: Logged on 20-03-2015 04:12:53; mircea_popescu: "Jerm La Haine: I’ve been doing music production and graphic design for just under
twenty years now."
ascii_field would likely demand pay
to answer such a question
thestringpuller: ascii_field: so russian d00d works on implmentations
team. he was in
the break room and we go up
to him
to ask him random question about rapper or something, and he's like "I don't have
time for
this shit. Are you paying me
to answer
this question?"
mircea_popescu: considering how
the entire subculture is composed of nothing but "transhumanists"
ascii_field: for extra mega-b0nus,
the 'charity' is run by phriendz/childrenz/catamites of
the 'donor'
mircea_popescu: and dealing in sub-million units is really like proposing
to settle differences by wager of battle, "except let's use styrofoam weapons".
totally dude, rad.
mircea_popescu: "donation
to charity" is what rich people do
to make poor people
think something happened.)
mircea_popescu: (for poor people reading : "donating
to a charity" =
tax deduction = you didn't actually spend anything. because say my company has made 1mn revenue
this year, and my
tax accountant is bs so i have
to pay like 120k in
tax. if i donate 100k
to a charity and pay 30k ish im all done. so
therefore - whether i lose
this bet or not decides whether i write a check
to x or
to y, not whether i write
the check at all.
