mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-09-2015#1269929 << that's rank nonsense, but the exact discussion of why and how "studies" about sicily aren't worth the paper they're printed on is too long for me now ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu wasn't paying attention.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-09-2015#1269882 << but, remarkably, not really fuck. and the reason isn't some sort of misplaced propriety ☝︎
mircea_popescu: fucking horrid terminology, we really shouldn't be in a situation where input and outpuit means the same thing
davout: looks to me like this highlights another aspect of the tragedy of the commons thing, because miners don't bear the full cost of a large UTXO, they have no particular incentive to give fee rebates to UTXO-consolidating transactions
mircea_popescu: sorta like the emperor of flies can't happen with an adult present. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: here, we discusased "potential users" and the blocks haven't been full etc
punkman: haven't really thought about it
punkman: I don't see why adding more zeros isn't possible, nontrivial sure, probably on the order of changing workfunction
davout: and at this point transaction fees can't exist anymore
mircea_popescu: cazalla i don't thinbk you understand how hot topic works.
assbot: We Didn't Start This Website (YTMND) - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1LnvSmS )
mircea_popescu: punkman on what, the symbolics machine ? that can't even be shipped ?
punkman: mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267867 <<< haha wut. except any lisp is also implemented atop libc << I think there's more than a handful that don't need to touch C at all ☝︎
BingoBoingo: I can't help it if this lopp kid want's to try his hand at slander without the strength of kakobrekla's slanderous soul of legend
assbot: We Didn't Start the Flame War - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1F0RMiH )
BingoBoingo has been humming "I didn't start the slander..." to the tune of Billy Joel
mircea_popescu: awww, it so deeply matters that guy doesn't like qntra
BingoBoingo: Oh there's people trying to sweep those private keys, but no one relays that shit anymore. If it wasn't for the fail way they are trying to spam in reverse now, it would be like qntra covering the weather. Instead it's just another loop to make in the rope.
mircea_popescu: somehow tho i don't expect a change of strategy. kinda hard to do anything else when got nothing whatsoever.'
BingoBoingo: x on them, but I don't see any of them even getting relayed here. Really it's like WTF they are letting other people try to clean up the mess they made in the UTXO set.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> ... << honestly it's mildly disappointing to see them mentioned at all. derps did exacly nothing, and failed to even confront their failure. instead they're pretending like it didn't happen and no doubt imaginew this is marketing << Honestly this latest failure is probably the end of covering them at all. Some derpy block explorers are claiming hundreds of MB of mempool off of people pushing mega dust collection t
mircea_popescu: i don't recall what exactrly, ritholz has it.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-09-2015#1269604 << lol. clearly the usg isn't fudging anything, and anyone who wants to laugh at their inept self-lying has to explain... the something numbers ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267867 <<< haha wut. except any lisp is also implemented atop libc, and half the time atop fucking python and some shit. don't throw stones ye of the glass house. ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: cazalla don't they have overtime where you live ? 8 x 25 + 4 x 50 = 400/day not so bad.
pete_dushenski: men lie, women lie, bunnies don't
pete_dushenski: now if apple's 'iphone upgrade program' were available in canada, which is isn't, this phone would have to be ~cdn$50/month, seeing as usd$ pricing 'starts at $32/mo' for base iphone 6s with 32 gb and cdn-usd is 0.75.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: that has to be a misprint - 360 usd doesn't buy even smallest thing in apple catalogue
trinque: asciilifeform: don't you want a new iPhone every year?
cazalla: heh, they really do look like wheelchairs don't they
pete_dushenski: http://gregmankiw.blogspot.ca/2015/09/twelve-reasons-to-like-jebs-tax-plan.html << for the american log readers who aren't sold on trump, and yet are still magically sold on voting and the merits of representative democracy, i give you Bush the IIIrd
cazalla: jesus christ, his mother couldn't even iron him a shirt https://www.flickr.com/photos/94861732@N04/20674687064/
cazalla: you don't care for some diet snappe and reeses bars as in that pic just linked pete_dushenski ?
asciilifeform: i can't bring myself to even read about it
pete_dushenski: cazalla: didn't 'consensus' cost, like, thousands of dollars or some shit ? i'm just trying to wrap my head around the PLASTIC water bottles and TIN pop cans on the tables. seriously low fucking rent.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: if strippers can be found for chinese funerals, why not paid pro hoes for software firms. doesn't seem like that huge of a leap.
cazalla: i can't imagine either place steers too far from the office space environment.. Corporate Accounts Payable, Baozhai speaking! Just a moment!
pete_dushenski: "The reason the insane can't treat the sane is that sanity is one whereas insanity is numerous and varied. Should the sane try to treat the insane, they are all proceeding towards the same goal. Should the insane try to treat the same they are all proceeding towards different goals, and necessarily their efforts will come to naught." << mp on sane v. insane
Vexual: aren't you supposed to be in some mine somewhere caz?

cazalla: i gues those big macs didn't go down so well!
BingoBoingo: trinque: It appears a certain bot isn't on the job...
BingoBoingo: <thestringpuller> trinque has a point. BingoBoingo cazalla you should invite Matonis to irc. He is a big Qntra fan. << He know where to come. His problem if he doesn't act on it.
trinque: also, why isn't Matonis here? The guy sounds halfway sensible.
thestringpuller: isn't that the guy who works for the company who wants to bring FDIC to its users to scam their bitcoins
shinohai: I'm sure they are in for quite a surprise when they fire it up and find it doesn't have an X server.
shinohai: Nope they didn't get in the library, just the little room where my routers and spare computers are. they left my pogo lol.
jurov: Putin wants to keep their naval bases, fights anyone who isn't Bashir Assad without distinction
trinque: poor guy took quite a crack on the head once upon a time, so I can't blame him

pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: didn't have the grades to stay in canada, decided to make most of opportunities closer to home. not entirely 'for girl' but in no small part was this the consideration.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: 3rd year. after i didn't get in off waiting list for med school in ireland that year, i never reapplied.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: the '83' was actually mandatory at the school i went to. but normally the warde^H^H^H^teacher wouldn't notice if you had something vaguely shaped like '83'
pete_dushenski: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3k8uez/youth_are_the_killer_app_of_bitcoin/ << "After many failed attempts at convincing friends/family/co-workers that Bitcoin is beneficial, one of my Minecraft server players asked me about it. I decided to send over $10 worth on Circle just so he could experience it first-hand. I didn't expect much, since he's young he might not understand even some basic financial c

shinohai: Welp my poor ass won't be getting one anytime soon.
shinohai: I didn't unfortunately :(
asciilifeform: if it isn't, it is rather like merely an expensive sort of 'sybil'
BingoBoingo: Price is kinda to filter out people who wouldn't use girls with pencils
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Purpose is anyone who doesn't want to mess with wires at all.

assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 17:44:48; punkman: ascii_field, I wouldn't think fake capacity numbers are a problem, but yeah I guess you gotta write $x GB of data to it that can't be compressed away
