mircea_popescu: think*. at all. it's just.... signal processing, zero introspection, they might
as well not have memory.
mircea_popescu: it's almost
as if twitter has formatted an entire generation to not fucking thing.
phillipsjk: Just make sure your users know they have to format
as ext2 or whatever. (If you implement the plug-in transaction function.)
nubbins`: i wholeheartedly encourage you to ship the devices
as you see fit
mircea_popescu: trinque for one thing, you can use it
as a proxy for your actual bitcoind
nubbins`: however, generating a bunch of signed transactions and loading a single one onto each unit, which the eventual owner may spend or discard
as he sees fit...
nubbins`: sending coin is a no-no because it identifies the IP
as running a node?
nubbins`: unit creates a tx unique to itself, pushes to bc
as proof of it firing up
nubbins`: still have a box full of NSA shirts taking up space
as it is 8)
diana_coman: hi jurov, did it? I had set up the cloak stuff, but possibly it fails to put it on before joining the channel in some situations (such
as recovering from a connection drop), hmmm
mircea_popescu: unches), the less frequently their water balloon worldview is tested by people with pins, the more they will cling to the premise that "facts" are what's important. In this way the one personal issue serves
as a reference point which the propaganda exploits: "hey, gun advocates, did you know you like low corporate taxes?" I do? "Yes, because the people you hate are for raising them." Consequently, raising corporate
mircea_popescu: o do this heavy lifting
as long
as they are given just the right facts, filtered from the "noise." "Where can we get the right facts, in a world of liars?" Good question, maybe the news?
mircea_popescu: religion among educated whites in favor of science. Not physics or chemistry, but evolution. Tabloids were incomprehensibly popular, partisan media the norm. A loosening of conventional morality manifested
as bored promiscuity, female bisexuality, and a flood of new porn the likes of which never existed before.
adlai: all self-identifying feminists whom i know irl have loud vocal problems with anybody who so much
as looks at a woman breastfeeding in public
mircea_popescu: incidentally, it's fucking unfortunate that the rabid imbeciles misidentifying themselves
as "feminists" can't see the breastfeeding in public thing
as anything but "war on porn".
mircea_popescu: In Bitcoin this responsibility is based not in law, but fact. LocalBitcoins chose to fart on their plates and some of their weaker customers who trusted them are now ill. It doesn't matter where what was served was contaminated, but that LocalBitcoins served poison. Yes the consumers ought to have known better, but in the future knowing better means escewing a venue that sells turds
as sausages on the virtue of both be
☟︎ BingoBoingo: clerked in a store, split rails, enlisted in the Black Hawk War, served
as postmaster
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Imma sleep now, but contemplate 20 miles. Just about
as long
as one can reasonably walk in a day on flat land. About
as far
as a group can reasonably defend
as a border without submitting to a Kyriarch.
mircea_popescu: Not to mention that no politician wants to be remembered
as the guy who made his constituency go unpaid. Public choice theory will save you by August 2, even
as it wrecks you all the other times.
mircea_popescu: that could
as well read "the pbc will promote orderly dismantling of the unioted states starting 2015"
BingoBoingo: Maybe
as the editorial line. Perhaps 3 can be saved from there.
mircea_popescu: moldysnizz: I've accepted my new identiy
as the snizz < so get in the assbot wot then
BingoBoingo: Now if sponsored I would happily take a crap on their front stoop.
As Cartman offers, that is the best way to get an undesirable neighbor to leave.
pete_dushenski: The yuan overtook Canada’s dollar to rank fifth for use in global payments, bolstering the case for the International Monetary Fund to endorse it
as a reserve currency.
mircea_popescu: " I wanted and needed the information in its "natural raw" state and in
as comprehensive a volume
as it was practical for me to make full use of it. But the most important thing about this move was to guard against the chance of intelligence being used to influence or to lead the President into unwise decisions—and I thought it was necessary that the President do his own thinking and evaluating."
decimation: mircea_popescu: no, around asciilifeform they use 6 ft diameter concrete 'planters' to act
as 'subtle' car barriers
mircea_popescu: "Bitcoin is apolitical except to the extent it by the harsh realities of mathematics and actual economics finds itself in opposition to all forms of socialism." << "Bitcoin is apolitical, yet by the harsh realities of mathematics and actual economics it necessarily finds itself in opposition to all forms of socialism. Which, arguably, are apolitical
as well, inasmuch
as politics is about the polis not the utopia."
mircea_popescu: "organized theft and poverty
as cultured by sociaism" perhaps a lither, more fuckable version.
decimation: asciilifeform: I imagine the pogo is slow
as balls
Apocalyptic: re self-centered cultures, I recently stumbled upon Bridgewater, a hedge fund that mainstream media often described
as "a cult". It shares several concepts with b-a
mircea_popescu:
as it is, it dun exist. has to have rounded corners yo! but anyway! let's do packaging separately.
decimation: Destructive War, he mentions a foreign traveler in 1864 who asked some random American to explain the war. "It's the conquest of America by Massachusetts," was the answer. Massachusetts, of course, later went on to conquer first Europe and then the entire planet, the views of whose elites
as of 2007 bear a surprisingly coincidental resemblance to those held at Harvard in 1945. But I digress.)"
decimation:
as an american, I see germany
as a theme park filled with stuffed animals, spouting libtard-ideology
mircea_popescu: One piece of fallout from SYRIZA's recent win in Greec is the appointment of Yanis Varoufakis (mostly remembered for tinkering with Valve's Steam marketplace) to the position of Finance Minister. Yanis Varoufakis could also be less charitably remembered for penning numerous naive essays throughout the Spring of 2013, dedicated to misrepresenting Bitcoin
as some sort of impossible fantasy incapable of anything. Superfic
mircea_popescu: One piece of fallout from the recent SYRIZA win in Greece's election is the appointment of Yanis Varoufakis, most notable for tinkering with Valve's Steam video game marketplace to the position of Finance Minister. Yanis Varoufakis is much less notable for in the spring of 2013 writing one of the many essays naively assailing Bitcoin
as some sort of impossible fantasy incapable of anything, an essay that safely could h
BingoBoingo: * decimation would prefer to humbly submit to the silent dance of the celestial spheres,
as man has done for all known time << You do realize if you try to advance critical theory past Kant you buffer overflwo straight back to Hume. It is an ugly loop.
adlai: that was mentioned
as a possibility. what do you mean by "MPIF is direct"?

☟︎ adlai: mircea_popescu: it really depends what that capital is for. for funding further development of the bot? not much, feature by feature, i'm not looking for a vc-style investment. for testing the algorithm on larger amounts, to see how the strategy scales up? right now, two digit btc sum, more
as progress permits.
gribble: adlai was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 day, 11 hours, 51 minutes, and 35 seconds ago: <Adlai> 'want' is a strong word. i'm suggesting it
as a possibility, to an intrepid [General] Manager
mircea_popescu: "hey check it out,
as long
as im measuring atom transitions by atom transitions, atom transitions do not appear to misbehave!"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
as long
as that determination was made in a certain system that precludes so and so :)
mircea_popescu: such
as, contracts. "rent this appartment for 50`000 blocks"
decimation: mircea_popescu: the question,
as I stated earlier, is whether 'rotation of the earth about axis' or 'number of vibrations of cesium' is your timebase
mircea_popescu: this is like "rigurously" defining womanhood
as "n individual sex acts"
mircea_popescu: time
as anything other than arbitrary convention is a hard proposition.
BingoBoingo: Let time stay constant. If planetary rotation slows acknowledge that
as the problem.
danielpbarron: a second will henceforth be known
as 1 six-hundredth of the average time it takes for a bitcoin block to be found
mod6:
as it seems, gnupg did that nonsense.
BingoBoingo: trinque: In this tome a lot of OpenBSD specific stuff, but also general good practices. M W Lucas also has a sudo mastery book
as part of his security trinity.
BingoBoingo: 5.7 will bring
as kernel space ASLR, also current on some platforms has that, but is... unfinished
gribble: Nick 'trinque', with hostmask 'trinque!~undata@unaffiliated/undata', is identified
as user 'trinque', with GPG key id 42F9985AFAB953C4, key fingerprint FC66C0C5D98C42A1D4A98B6B42F9985AFAB953C4, and bitcoin address None
nubbins`: if i'm not mistaken, your problem is the inability to express your tune
as either notes or
as a hum that can be recorded
BingoBoingo: My hypothesis is that whistling and humming acquire the correct pitch by way of bang-bang correction. The delay between each “bang” your brain produces and the resulting sound is imperceptibly small, because the vocal apparatus is located so near, and the necessary muscle motions are so minute. Thus, the correct pitch seems to come out
as if by magic. And yet no magic is involved. << Normally magic of musicians with perfect pi
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> piano keyboard is meaningless to me. despite plenty of time spent attempted. << This I experience
as well.
moldysnizz: I've accepted my new identiy
as the snizz
nubbins`:
as granular
as your fingers are small.
nubbins`: they actually released the schematics for the monotribe
as well
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Prolly that too. I am lacking in that department
as well. Tuba is forgiving in that regard.
nubbins`:
as long
as you can twist a rotary encoder, you can set notes
BingoBoingo: The thing that sold me on WC
as a fraud is that and actual master carver would focus on edges instead of relief making the BfL dildo feathered and much more painful.
mircea_popescu: im kinda curious who will be claimed
as the evil foreign invader.
mats: i'd like to take this moment to affirm that this is purely speculative, and i have no intention of being so much
as within the city limits of POTUS...
BingoBoingo: RE: KGB - Tom Clancy novels were right except "Jack Ryan" was russian and manifests IRL
as Putin.
thestringpuller: I'm certain this is not recent theory
as its pop culture by now.
mircea_popescu: but then again, i don't know anyone but asciilifeform to both honestly and seriously propose viewing the nsa
as aserious endeavour, and even he's been kinda shaken latelyt.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: kings << that one, and $maxint others, are 'moldbuggian' blogs that appeared in imitation, nth generation copies of nth generation copies, etc. << Less pseudoliteracy, more literacy
as archeaological artifact there. Seems distinct off shoot of Moldsphere. Far greater focus on expatriation.
mircea_popescu: i wonder how prevalent this actually is.
as opposed to interested parties trying to create a niche for their ngos.
trinque: mats: interesting actually, to think of god
as a human aspiration
mats: i never felt so depressed
as when i did 'missionary work'
as a young man in Quezon City
mircea_popescu: "During a conference call with reporters Monday, Fed staffers were asked why the paper made no mention of Bitcoin. They responded by saying that they plan to monitor developments with digital currency, and that later,
as those technologies mature, regulators will possibly have a different strategy."
mircea_popescu: assbot: Bitcoin and the dangerous fantasy of ‘apolitical’ money <<< title has a point. there is no such thing
as "apolitical" money. bitcoin is quite very political.
