mircea_popescu: still have to unpucker the cock enough for
as much
as a dribble to come out
mod6: and so should you. I'll be tabling that, updating the "Patch guide" and pulling the tarball with that patch down from the website
as soon
as my other vm hits current block.
mod6: a few days ago, I had been looking mapOrphanBlocks
as a possible reason that it runs itself out of ram
as this structure goes unchecked in size in v0.5.3 -- when I was at ~180,000 blocks, these are the stats that I had built up so far:
nubbins`: i'd front some $$ to get it going
as well
nubbins`: sluggish is okay,
as long
as it works
BingoBoingo: My two favorite parts of speech to use "Fuck"
as are pronoun and adverb. "Stupid fuck, stop fuckly jumping around like a fuck."
davout:
as in "one particular kind of work"
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic: ehh.. the testimoney of a friend. what's that worth << sworn testimony is sworn testimony. unless the witness gets impeached, it's worth
as much
as an employee's testimony
danielpbarron: ben_vulpes, twitter started
as an SMS service, and tweets were limited to what could be sent via text
mircea_popescu: *: danielpbarron seriously doubts it will be on freenode in 20 years, or if there will even be a freenode <<
as far
as freenode is concenred, i am agreed. however, b-a is 4ever!
davout: the way i see it the payment bzns is just
as an extra pipe to bring volume to the exchange
kakobrekla: but yes for reliability. even if rpi wold be strong enough (hey he didnt say no to arm, though he prolly ment it) it wouldnt cut
as the thing is fragile.
fluffypony: STRML: that's because it's interpreting the \n
as a line break
STRML: mircea_popescu: working in linux mint
as well, although I get a message about an invalid armor header
Naphex: mircea_popescu: was using HP Proliants for a while, had one that the whole 8x raid array just barked,
as soon
as i replaced 1 hdd, the other would fail
fluffypony: actually the one thing that irritates me about Afrikaans is the double-negative,
as in "ek het dit nie gesien nie" (literally: I have it not seen not)
mircea_popescu:
as long
as they didn't find her in bed with a live girl or a dead boy...
chetty: so on this mornings glenn beck show he went on at some length about how people would be turning to bitcoin
as a way to protect idenity from all the hacking, he has big audience ..and he didnt say anything that was actually stuipd, for a change
thestringpuller: or at least I look at a bubble
as someone fronting someone something
mircea_popescu: and when it pops, it will be JUST
AS destructive to economy & society, according to how close to the absolute maximum it got.
mircea_popescu: in principle, some pacific islanders with their six acres of unarable land and fifty coconuts can make a bubble just
as well
as new york can.
mircea_popescu: that watsapp no users claimed
as however many seemed to be worth something when fb paid for them is no support of the theory. that g+ isn't worth anything IS counterproof.
mircea_popescu: if there's a better example
as to why the "grow big fast" so-called strategy doiesn't work, here it is. google's own g+ is not worth naything in spite of 3bn users.
mircea_popescu: decimation: punkman: that's 2-3 billion signups <<< and yet, in spite of that claim (probably unsubstantiated,
as all of these, but certainly more defensible in VC terms than anyone else's), g+ isn't worht anything.
lobbes: I remember reading something a bit ago that hit home; a lot of people make the mistake of 'reasoning from their own mind' without really checking external sources of information. Which is deadly if you are ignorant such
as myself
lobbes: I gotta say, this 'thinking' thing has helped me in my professional life
as well
Naphex: davout: on the new terminals or old ones
as well?
BingoBoingo: Maybe I just do groceies odd, but broccoli comes in one giant piece so I figure most practical to eat
as such
BingoBoingo: Which I like
as an uncomfortable parachute.
BingoBoingo: The lab is a construct of mine I posit
as roughly equivalent to Luke-Jr's hindbrain. Probably flawed, but I hop at least not flawed in that way.
BingoBoingo: Edgerouter seemed a bargain, still seems best at what it is... just... disapoint that not
as I hoped it could be abused into without the now apparent resistance
BingoBoingo: decimation: I would use crt serial plugged into RJ port. I assume at the moment stripped means instructions
as part of 64 are fucked because "octeon" and no one cares for poor MPIS.
decimation: asciilifeform: 'strip'
as in stripping debug symbols?
decimation: of which apparently 99.7% never actually use google plus
as 'social media'
BingoBoingo has been considering using one of those "Edgerouter Lites"
as a desktop system.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i suppose it comes
as one of those "nobody could have predicted" things to these people that the entire pile of crap they've been amassing over the years can and for that matter likely will simply be thrown out and forgotten.
mircea_popescu: in this case, he conveniently neglects the point that there is no \such thing
as CURRENT consensus, in any way distinct from trhe actual consensus
mircea_popescu: they don't proceed from an in depth understanding of the thing, but merely by and by,
as experience allows.
decimation: Labeling one consensus
as 'hard' and another
as 'soft' doesn't seem to be a good use of language
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Ourobourus eating itself
as of this year. New in the public discussions of that crowd
mircea_popescu: the other is the consensus that allows for transactions to be accepted
as valid.
nubbins`: "everyone else is a goat the same age and gender
as me"
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: And this is why I never got the appeal of 4chan except
as distilled in retrospectives though Encyclopedia Dramatica
mircea_popescu: these fucking imbecile children of their imbecile mothers already. oh, college is too hard for you ? let's change the admission criteria! you wanna start a business but you're
as dumb
as fuckinmg rocks ? that's ok, start a blog instead. you wanna be a hacker too ? fine, fine, just edit some pronouns in other people's githubs.
BingoBoingo: So far it has been incredibly +Ev for me personally, but dunno how long it will last
as serena continues getting old.
BingoBoingo: It depends, but usually I win when odds in favor of Serena drop to under multiplying my stake by ten
as the payout.
undata: CoraCrisT:
as if we all didnt just
mircea_popescu: that's the problem, what appears on the surface
as doing one thing ends up doing the exact opposite when very complex systems are involved.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Boy Scout badges in a lot of ways represent American failducation, shit offered
as sausage because cylindrical phenomenon.
pete_dushenski:
as to "words meaning zero" it's more that we're privy, if not downright inundated, with words from people who don't know how to use them
BingoBoingo: Find out about three career opportunities in the computer industry. Pick one and find out the education, training, and experience required for this profession. Discuss this with your counselor, and explain why this profession might interest you. Report what you learn to your counselor. << Doing this one now I'd pick curmudeon
as a profession, and ask why writing OS is not a requirement.
mircea_popescu: guess what : mining is a marginal business
as it is, and exactly the problems that ruined the western textile industry in your parent's lifetime can and will, if given a chance, ruin bitconi.,
mircea_popescu: somehow the idea that you can get "just
as good food and service" no matter how cheap a restaurant meal gets, like say a cent, or 1/1000th of a cent, is directly stupid to people.
mircea_popescu: davout: justusranvier: in your article you shouldn't be reasoning on the cost of including a transaction in a block
as (cost of one block / number of transactions) but you should reason on the marginal cost of adding a transaction to an already existing block that i'm currently mining << quite
Adlai: is the asswot online yet?
as in, visible from the www?
mircea_popescu: so you're spending 100 cakes per loaf of bread instead. because this is "economics"
as understood by "expert economists" : oleg andreev, gavin assassinsen, that nytimes thoctchke what's his name
mircea_popescu: becase IT IS POSSIBLE that in YEARS!!!! it may go
as high
as i dunno, 5cents ? a whole quarter ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, ftr, there's nothing at all in this gavin thing. so he came in, derped about nothing in particular, found his way out. at least a dozen random noobs/spammers performed just
as well.
mircea_popescu: it speaks volumes
as to his own perceived value of his own "opinions" which he doesn;'t actually hold.
BingoBoingo: alf handcarves exquisite reliefs
as he shapes traffic
mircea_popescu: and yes, a socialist state can only be run
as a prison or
as an insane asylum. because socialism is insanity.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i was telling a friend the other night that the CIA/FBI acts
as the USG mafia, but won't admit to being the mafia. Whereas KGB/Soviets said, "Yea we're the mob, watcha gonna do about it?"
