assbot: /danielpbarron Daniel r u going
to come onto
this 200+ user global bitcoin
teamspeak channel and bring your cult /hashtag/bitcoinassets?src=hash mates?
trinque: I feel like I'm going
to get my startup profitable just as
the roof caves in
trinque: are we really
trying
to instigate wwiii?
trinque: not
to derail current convos, but I finally caught up on
the current events blockchain as well
trinque: mired in irl work until
this evening, but will be finishing up
then
trinque: got
the deedbot blockchain up
to date yesterday, haxed on
the
transaction creating guy
ascii_field: ru politicos even fight
to decide who merits 'blinker' - like roman lictors
assbot: What ARE politicians doing
that’s so important
that
they
travel with lights and sirens? | Burned-Out Medic ... (

mircea_popescu: most decent guild players have meanwhile learned
to stfu / use it sanely.
mats: teamspeak sounds like a horrifically bad medium
to communicate with more
than, say,
three people at a
time
jux: teamspeak all
the audio bitcoin chatters/traders
jux: they just mentioned
this place on
teamspeak so i am checking it out
mike_c: if we could sign into b-a with our facebook accounts we wouldn't have
to get up'ed when we were in
the field.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field dun
take it
teh wrong way, but!
the
thanking is kinda spammy.
assbot: BitBet - CLAM losing grip -> sells 0.0029 or lower before April 25th :: 0.18 B (3%) on Yes, 5.08 B (97%) on No | closing in 1 month 3 weeks | weight: 93`348 (100`000
to 10) ... (
http://bit.ly/1Dqxbjc )
BayAreaCoins: MP do you plan on pulling
the CLAM bet on BitBet or is it going
to run its course? If you do cancel it I assume
the coins will just be sent
to
the payment addresses?
ascii_field: don't forget streaming audio from microphones chump voluntarily keeps in
the house, car, etc
BingoBoingo: "Streaming Video" and online gaming are
the USG approved application of surplus bandwidth
mircea_popescu: actually intermittent low bw internet would be better for
that purpose. keep
the redditard busy
ascii_field: but it'll be
the 'internet of
the future' rather
than what we're using now.
ascii_field: orlov, interestingly, argued
that high speed net is key in
the modern usg 'panem et circenses' program and will chug along long after problems with supplying
the basics of life have begun
ascii_field: 'For a goat may butt, and a worm may sting, / And a child will sometimes stand; / But a poor dead soldier of
the King / Can never lift a hand.' (herr kipling)
mircea_popescu: no argument
that health care was attainable in
the us cca 2010. just cost a liuttle more.
ascii_field: (and price goes up geometrically with distance from major 'icbm
targets')
ascii_field: but decent bandwidth isn't
this
totally unattainable
thing in gringolandia
mircea_popescu: however, romania is, like all of asia, on gbps sorta
thing
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: high speed << not actually a major problem in
the american population centres
jurov: lol....guess using drones is cheaper
than pigeons by now
gribble: pigeons was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 30 weeks, 3 days, 1 hour, 40 minutes, and 0 seconds ago: <pigeons> so far
that seems accurate
chetty: anybody
tried raising pigeons?
BingoBoingo: But
the FCC internet will give users Fat Pipes,
to better DoS real people with.
chetty: same
thing will be with
the fcc internet : just fast enough people don't start making an independent one.// speed will not be
the only issue,
think china
mircea_popescu: same
thing will be with
the fcc internet : just fast enough people don't start making an independent one.
mircea_popescu: it's how africa's being "helped" : ban
the perfectly fine fillament lightbulbs just as
they get
to where
they could maybe make some,
trickle in a little food so most people don't want
to work.
mircea_popescu: no see,
the socialised medicine is just good enopugh
to prevent an actually useful, individual solution.
chetty: well I guess
the usaians need
to learn from
the greeks how make mesh nets
mircea_popescu: being humiliated by shitholes like romania apparently isn't going
to be a
temporary situation.
chetty: well
this fcc chair was against net nuetrality a while back,
then he had a meeting with ?? and 332 pags of new regulation (stamped secret) appeared. You figure it out
thestringpuller: except when you exercise it
they just
throw you into a hole
chetty: well I guess
they still sorta respect
the 5th amendment, might be
the only one left
thestringpuller: chetty: or
turns into a gasenwagen! gas just starts spewing out.
chetty: and delivers you
to
the gasenwagen when
the
time comes
mircea_popescu: nah, because a)
the usg doesn't care
to steer you a particular direction. it only wants you
to not move - it's a bureaucracy after all, it has no resources
to deal with change, nor can change mean anything but it's ass ; b)
the illusion of free wheeling is what's important.
thestringpuller: "I want
to go
to
the strip club" "Cannot drive
to
that destination"
thestringpuller: lol self driving car in future prevents you from going
to certain places.
jurov: which
there already are some
jurov: dunno better comparison
to pki would be a car without steering whell, steered by usg
PeterL: heh, I like
that name, because when you say it MP-car sounds alot like empty-car
mircea_popescu: and prolly have more market cap
than gm, as far as
that goes.
mircea_popescu: get some fed grants for it, idiots will prolly go in
the box just
to be different...
mircea_popescu: i should probably ycombinate a start-up
to deploy
tons of
these in old warehouses across
the us
assbot: Logged on 23-01-2015 21:26:58; asciilifeform:
the fastest,
thickest, most luxurious car is --- not having
to go places.
mircea_popescu: plus, it prevents not only
traffic accidents (leading cause of death!) but also,
this one
time,
this guy used a car and was robbed!
thestringpuller: the sad
thing is you could do
that and prob get bonus at some firm in
the US
mircea_popescu: "but it's just as good and much easier
to use
than a car!11"
mircea_popescu: i wonder if i could sell some cars
to
these idiots
that are really wooden crates with lcd screen inside.
danielpbarron: the people
throwing
this
term around are advocates of some fully automated process
that runs on
their phone, so...
mircea_popescu: "Even
the projects
that attempt
to use it as a dependency struggle." heh
mircea_popescu: half way, because if
the public interface is compromised it still sees all your emails.
mircea_popescu: this can be repeated as many
times as you wish, and it can also be used as an otr process (just make new key for each exchange).
mircea_popescu: 3) you send mail
to 1 using 2 and including pubkey for your new key.
mircea_popescu: 1) you find
the public key of
the public interface you wish
to use
PeterL: so
that number of users could be understated
mircea_popescu: PeterL sure,
there's nothing but convenience requiring it.
mircea_popescu: Looking forward, however, I
think of GPG as a very dangerous
technology
that really has
to go away if we're serious about making it impossible for journalists,
their sources, activists and other enemies of
the state
to survive in a NSA/TSA/ETC-only world."
mircea_popescu: Today, journalists use GPG
to communicate with sources securely, activists use it
to coordinate world wide, and software companies use it
to help secure
their infrastructure. Some really heroic people have put in an enormous amount of effort
to get us here, at substantial personal cost, and with little support.
PeterL: do people use keys not submitted
to key servers?
mircea_popescu: "Worse, it
turns out
that nobody else found all
this stuff
to be fascinating. Even
though GPG has been around for almost 20 years,
there are only ~50,000 keys in
the “strong set,” and less
than 4 million keys have ever been published
to
the SKS keyserver pool ever. By
today’s standards,
that’s a shockingly small user base for a month of activity, much less 20 years."
mircea_popescu: the oil and
the water are separating, and no welfarist state-sponsored mixer can do anything abotu
the accelerating rate.
mircea_popescu: "There just seems
to be something particular about people who
try GPG and conclude
that it’s a realistic path
to introducing private communication in
their lives for casual correspondence with strangers. Increasingly, it’s a club
that I don’t want
to belong
to anymore." << well... granted, eh.
