mircea_popescu: too bad they couldn'
t afford fiddy cents to find out that "no, don'
t do that"
mircea_popescu: only indie schmucks deliver things. actually listed companies, be they s.nsa or 21co don'
t lower themselves to that!
assbot: Logged on 21-09-2015 20:22:11; ascii_field: these are the 'buy light bulbs that mine for usg' log-reader folks aren'
t they.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform when greenspun wrote that, he wasn'
t entirely wrong. yet.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's not even my angle. my angle is this : "yes it makes sense for the company YOU PAID MONEY BEFORE to protect your investment IN THEIR SHIT. but you didn'
t pay me jack, did you ? I WILL BURN IT ON GENERAL PRINCIPLE AND FUCK YOU FOR HAVING PAID THE ENEMY."
assbot: Logged on 22-09-2015 01:55:29; mircea_popescu: what "go suck the cock of the people who made the thing that surprised you for a while, because obviously they know and obviously you don'
t". nonono, HE IS GOING TO HAVE IDEAS.
assbot: Logged on 21-09-2015 18:48:18; phf: i guess that's why dadaist groups all have long history of denouncement, usually ending with the original founder remaining. otherwise you always have some entrenched fuck proposing a markdown jet, because useful and doesn'
t hurt and shrug. but when it's the founder itself..
mircea_popescu: btw wiles looks a lot like brin the elder wouldn'
t you think ?
mircea_popescu: i didn'
t mean "i should like for someone to show me how math works". i just meant i dunno that there's even a promising direction of research into the matter.
assbot: Logged on 22-09-2015 01:56:31; mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, is what they mean when they discuss self-love as a sin. this is it. the delusional notion that you're good and valuable as you are will fuck you up every time you run into something that puts your worthless shitpersona in perspective. because you won'
t be able to go on knees properly for lack of practice.
mircea_popescu: so, no. it does not. it has some shit, and it's so confused it doesn'
t even realise it.
mircea_popescu: these are the sort of schmucks that can'
t even afford pants to keep their money in.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, i appreciate that they're SO FUCKING PETRIFIED of bitcoin can'
t even talk of it other than under the SA guise.

☟︎ trinque: what, they don'
t have enough to do in Baltimore/Ferguson/wherever ?
mircea_popescu: that it happens to work well doesn'
t change what it is.
trinque: I don'
t know that it's anything as centrally organized as Orwell's thing
pete_dushenski: i wish 21 could be relied upon to publish sales data, which they aren'
t, or else i'd try to short the tards
phf: one side is doing the whole jump and direct hit, where's the other side counters equally strong, but then sneak lower energy response to the net. in the video chinese guy doesn'
t clear it though
phf: pete_dushenski: i don'
t know any of the proper english terminology, but your video precisely illustrates my point
mircea_popescu: actually the wall thing didn'
t have a [single] name but it was perfectly acceptable passtime for getting the players together for a game o' football.
phf: pete_dushenski: doubles look weak though, like they are playing tennis, wouldn'
t fly with our teachers, since you were going to get one at the net, once you started camping so far back
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: so did americans, but it's not really sustainable for them ALL to get that pension they were promised. so they won'
t mats: i don'
t get the basis for this 'old people and chicks of the third gender' shtick.
phf: well, i didn'
t know anyone else playing badminton except our group, purely on account said father and his wife being some sort of ranked competing amateur level at some point of their lives. but i've never encountered the whole "badminton is not real sport" until i came to u.s.
mircea_popescu: phf well they weren'
t priceless antiques yet. and i doubt many people seriously saw a putin future back then.
mircea_popescu: it wasn'
t even gay, like volley or what's that other thing, minisoccer with hands ?
mircea_popescu: phf wut srsly ? i take it YOUR soviet state wasn'
t friends with china back then huh ?
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski: [...] it isn'
t. but it doesn'
t help that my translation efforts are ~starting~ with post-phd-level writings THAT DON'
T EVEN HAVE ACCENTS << he has a point there lol.
pete_dushenski: isn'
t it incredible the hoops that plastic-badge-loving maroons will jump through ?
assbot: Logged on 21-09-2015 22:53:12; *: BingoBoingo still astounded that if one wants a new diesel vehicle thanks to the EU it will refuse to run if you don'
t fill up a second tank with pisstein (urea)
mircea_popescu: come to think of it... no fucking wonder romania doesn'
t need fire alarms.
mircea_popescu: two problems : the flame is "light" so it flies off and you can'
t get it ON things.
phf: man can'
t keep up with that guy, first email, now books
mircea_popescu: in the 60s they didn'
t even realise their own children will be marrying into illiterate for lack of alternative.
BingoBoingo: <punkman> why don'
t they have a piss-funnel for the driver? fill it up during the 8 hours of commuting. << Biologic piss isn'
t good enough. Need special monsanto pure piss.

☟︎ lobbes: 'I'm going to try this. I've been pooping in the shower for years...' << lmao. I don'
t envy the plumber that finally gets called to snake that drain
phf: and here i am being upset that you can'
t find a bidet anywhere in u.s. except for muslim neighbourhoods
phf: could make a portlandia show about west philadelphia, if it wasn'
t all so derivative already
phf: there's a coop yoga place, that designed "as a sort of community wellness center", good thing that the owner owns the building too, because they can'
t seem to quite break even, and periodically have strategic brainstorm sessions about how to make money
BingoBoingo: Yeah, or write it off as oppreshun because people don'
t understand her condishuns
cazalla: phf, she wouldn'
t believe them anyway eh
mike_c: weren'
t you building one of those in your garage?
mike_c: well, can'
t say that i'll be blowing 2 btc on it any time soon.
phf: ascii_field: you're too sane, to comprehend this madness. the way stupid thinks in this case, "want to sell bitcoin device, can'
t really make pogo, because no "value add", so must add some hardware to make it seem like useful hardware." of course they don'
t have enough sense to say add a ecc sig verifier asic, so add probably stolen miner asic code, which is not going to mine anything for anybody, hence the dodgy justification code.
phf: ascii_field: i think it's just written for "guy on a street" layman. "no you can'
t mine bitcoins anymore, because it's totally unprofitable without a giant asic farm, but you can use this thing to buy and sell bitcoins"
shinohai: So what does that thing do that a pogo can'
t ?
ascii_field: these are the 'buy light bulbs that mine for usg' log-reader folks aren'
t they.
☟︎ phf: i did technical review for it, which was pretty stressful. barsky is a poliglot and writes with a lot of grahamisms, so i rewrote a lot of bits to make them more "common lisp", though i don'
t think i fully reached that goal
phf: i guess that's why dadaist groups all have long history of denouncement, usually ending with the original founder remaining. otherwise you always have some entrenched fuck proposing a markdown jet, because useful and doesn'
t hurt and shrug. but when it's the founder itself..
☟︎ phf: it's interesting to see how fast urbit "turned" both politically and on technical questions. markdown jet? choosing markdown is a copout in itself (there's a naggum rant where he says that plaintext markup languages are designed by people who don'
t understand NLP), but why would you outsource something so traditional as a text blob parser? seems like an opportunity to showcase your language's text manipulation facilities, etc.
ascii_field: 'A sufficiently smart optimizer doesn'
t need to optimize every Nock formula that could calculate a decrement function. It only needs to optimize one: the one we actually run. The only one we run is the one compiled from the decrement function ++dec in the Hoon standard library. So there's no sense in which our sufficiently smart optimizer needs to analyze Nock formulas to see if they're decrement formulas. It only needs
thestringpuller: ascii_field: so it doesn'
t actually validate all the blocks? if I'm reading correctly it goes through all blocks in "best chain" if checkblocks is selected...
ascii_field: ftr i don'
t get the point of running a node on vps
jurov: davout: don'
t see it (but yes, happens)
VariaVarietatis: mircea_popescu: so he gets 200k cash 800k goes into the company account richard gets 80% peter gets 20% going from PP1 to PP2 here? also how does the note part work I thought notes didn'
t get converted into equity until the company investors or is he filling his own note? still lost.
mircea_popescu: he doesn'
t trade 1mn for 20% of richard's company. he trades 1mn for 20% of richard's company and 20% of 1mn.
mircea_popescu idly hoovered over the faces, saw various VC minded folks, didn'
t realise retweets are a different rubric.
shinohai: Goog God Gavin is a Fat Fuck, isn'
t he?
davout: "if we don'
t have a plausible scaling story soon, banks are going to start experimenting with permissioned blockchains."
shinohai will attempt to find women that aren'
t sjw's and insane on deviantart
mircea_popescu: anyway, i don'
t really want line art. i want stuff more like that yeah
shinohai: I'll trawl some and see what I find. That artist that drew your bitcoin collage can'
t draw "death" ?
