kanzure: linear screw
thread actuators are very useful at all sorts of sizes, but hard
to manufacture (= require more steps and parts and manufacturing processes)
mircea_popescu: well inasmuch you can print a bottle and fill it with a gas, you can make a rocket
that'll produce 10 newtons or more.
kanzure: that's more
the reason here
kanzure: asciilifeform: at minimum i need a few
tens of newtons of force... in general.
mircea_popescu: basically,
the notion
that all manufacturing processes can be divided into an arbitrary number of passes at a gain of productivity is
the
tenet of
that business for a century now.
kanzure: well
that's what you get when mechanical engineering departments spend more
time
teaching me fucking excel spreadsheets
than, you know, engineering
mircea_popescu: kanzure
this nomenclature you use is very confusing for (admittedly,. old) people with actual manufacutring management experience. it sounds a lot like
the earlier discussed lighbulb sql.
kanzure: i would say "printable engine" except
then i would hate myself
kanzure: it means "don't spend 100 hours assembling
tiny parts into a bigger device"
mircea_popescu: d
their lives. If you don't believe me, believe Lori Gottlieb.
This logic recommended
to her
to drop out of Stanford medical school
to join Kibu.com, and now she's a relationship expert.
mircea_popescu: en especially will heart it. It'll work for a handful of well publicized people pictured above
the caption, "$100 billion! You could be next!"-- followed immediately by a story about how worthless
the business
turned out
to be, so of course
the goal for you is
to sell out ASAP; but
the vast majority who have aligned
their psychology with
this vector will pursue an impossible fantasy at
the expense of
their labor an
mircea_popescu: ed on starting a business in order
to sell
the business
to someone else. Of course
the idea is
to get rich-- which sounds like capitalism, if you're retarded, but observe
the message
that is being
taught:
that
the necessary correlate
to getting rich is
to give all
the capital
to someone else.
The power is
traded for
the fetish of power.
That's not capitalism, it is madness, and apparently Davos and Randi
think wom
mircea_popescu: So Randi goes
to Davos, never once asking why
they would want her
there? Convincing her demo of underproducing hyperconsumers
that capitalism-- controlling capital-- is pointless and mean, but globalism-- doublespoken as "progress", "human rights", "everything is connected"--
that is a noble cause. Remember
that
the "culture" she
thinks she speaks for, including
those
that hate her-- "the startup culture"-- is premis
kanzure: wikipedia image does not make me
think a
tesla
turbine is flat
mircea_popescu: the idea
that some sort of serious analysis can be based on
that fails fundamentally, in
that it
tries
to work on
the basis of goals rather
than from causes.
mircea_popescu: in any case,
the notion of "writing down incentives" is a little silly.
mircea_popescu: yeah
the missing piece of your puzzlement here might be
that gribble got forked
kanzure: kakobrekla: how was i able
to "!up" in
the past?
felipelalli: cazalla:
thanks cazalla, I skipped unintentionally.
kanzure: also does anyone know of a design for a planar engine? can be gas/steam/whatever. just needs
to be manufactured in one step.
kanzure: yeah i would estmate
that it's no where near useful at
the moment
mircea_popescu: you know most of
the lolz
there are as
to how incomplete it is
kanzure: and waiting for petertodd
to start
telling you
to go fuck yourself is just a bad strategy
kanzure: part of it is
that i don't
trust anyone
to keep
the whole
threat model in
their head
kanzure: mircea_popescu: of course nodes are hostile... but
this needs
to be written down (apparently).
felipelalli: And it was yesterday, I'm an idiot.
Thanks.
felipelalli: BingoBoingo: I'm sorry, you guys are
too fast. I saw just
the last 3 articles.
mircea_popescu: <kanzure> "!up" is still giving me "Could not find your key. Check if your key is available on keyservers and
try later.""
mircea_popescu: kanzure ima devoice you now. say !up in private
to assbot, decryot
the otp
then say !v
felipelalli: cazalla BingoBoingo please
talk about Italy in Qntra.net as pete_dushenski suggested!
This is huge!
kanzure: "Nick kanzure is already
taken."
mircea_popescu: <assbot> Searching pgp.mit.edu for key with fingerprint: 6160E1CAC8A3C52966FD76998A736F0E2FB7B452.
This may
take a few moments.
kanzure: quite literally some do not
think
that nodes can be malicious
kanzure: no i mean it's required in
the sense
that apparently some of
those issues are non-obvious
to others
assbot: Nick mircea_popescu is already
taken.
mircea_popescu: !register <full_gpg_keyid> << are youdoing
the full
thing ?
kanzure: like, it is completely ridiculous
that such a document is required
kanzure: i was
trying
to do both sort of
kanzure: also, do you have any hints for how i can make
the incentives paper more lolworthy?
kanzure: well i was going
to write %f but
then i realized i value my life
kanzure: Searching pgp.mit.edu for key with fingerprint: %d.
This may
take a few moments.\n Could not find your key. Check if your key is available on keyservers and
try later.
danielpbarron: ok.. i have a bitcoind binary file
that i did myself! :D
mircea_popescu: "this is, without a doubt,
the worst resume i have ever seen."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in other news : i've had your resume read by my hr, and
that woman has read probably 15k by now.
mircea_popescu: phillipsjk: Not even my 2 year electronic program or running a node for a year? <<< jesus god he's adorable.
totally pwned ben_vulpes
too, because
the joo's a lazy reader. meanwhile in
the linked cv ? "Objective.
To find a day or night job in
the Edmonton area."
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: phillipsjk:
the last million
transactions are probably by volume idiocy spawned by wallets
that inhibit address reuse << at least half.
mircea_popescu: "The one great example is IBM, which faced disruption and existential
threat from PCs in
the early 1990s and emerged stronger and is still a
thriving company. "
☟︎ ben_vulpes: qntra's
turning into quite
the source
these days
cazalla: the one
time scoopbot fetches an article within seconds..
trinque: ben_vulpes: everyone in
texas has borderline personality disorder
danielpbarron: ok so apparently
the openssl make install was getting stuck on making documentation (apparently a known bug for
the version ascii chose) and
the fix is
to use "make install_sw" instead of "make install"
the_scourge: idk human stupidity surprises me
to
this day and probably will do well into
the future
the_scourge: ben_vulpes: wow
that is some seriously seedy shit.... surely
they didn't get anyone's money?
ben_vulpes: the_scourge: shit doesn't even really count compared
to actual impressive public market scamming like VGMC
BingoBoingo: "Charlie Shrem,
the Bitcoiner who is headed
to prison and is very close
to Mr. McCaleb and Mr. Karpeles and has done business with
them, shared his suspicion
that
the Mt. Gox money actually disappeared much earlier
than had been revealed: “I
think he lost
those coins early on. Like many years ago in
the first hack.”"
BingoBoingo: "This circular process pinned an initial value on STRs. Stellar repaid
the $3 million loan with 2 billion STRs. Based on
the finite distribution of 100 billion STRs,
the
transaction implied
the currency’s market cap was $150 million. (Its current market cap is about $17 million.)"
BingoBoingo: the_scourge: It is
the plague of people having no concept of history pretending
they can haz bzns
BingoBoingo: "Ms. Kim has an impressively broad resume, but it is not especially deep. Ms. Kim appears on Stellar legal documents and itswebsite as “secretary,” “executive director” and “member” (under its bylaws). Whatever her
talents,
they do not include leadership. Her legacy at SimpleHoney was a pair of false-start products, punctuated by a blog post
titled “How
to Build a Startup from a Beach.”"
the_scourge: i'm undecided as
to wether such scams demonstrate a concerted smear attempt or are simply exposing
the nasty nature of our 'corportate' culture
BingoBoingo: "Meanwhile, Mr. McCaleb and Ms. Burzlaff negotiated a settlement for
their children’s support, but his behavior
toward his kids mirrored his departure from Ripple and,
to some degree, every company he incubated. He fled
the scene when
things went south at eDonkey. At Mt. Gox, he actually claimed
the company no longer had any of his coding DNA, even
though he still owned 12 percent of
the company and advised on an attempt
to acqu
mod6: na, just saw a bunch of
those in
there when looking
through
the hex of blk0001.dat, i
think it's an OP_ script of some
type maybe
BingoBoingo: "After
the vote, as would prove
to be his habit when faced with a situation not
to his liking, Mr. McCaleb simply disappeared. He and Ms. Kim went
to Costa Rica
to surf,
then
to Brazil. Even close friends at Ripple Labs had no idea where
their mercurial founder was for months at a
time."
BingoBoingo: mod6: Wait, Was it a bible verse
that doesn't want
to verify?
BingoBoingo: "This all culminated in a showdown meeting in which
the board and key investors sided with Mr. Larsen. It was a 5-1 vote
to keep Mr. Larsen as CEO with Mr. McCaleb himself being
the lone dissenter. Even Mr. McCaleb’s ally, Mr. Powell, voted
to retain Mr. Larsen, as did Roger Ver, another McCaleb friend in
the room."
mod6: has anyone else seen
the "G0D" magic number?
BingoBoingo: "Ms. Kim’s next big idea was
to drop hints
to
the world
that Mr. McCaleb was Satoshi Nakamoto. According
to one person who worked at Ripple Labs at
the
time, “Joyce was creating all kinds of rumors
that Jed was Satoshi and Jed was happy
to go along with it, smiling like
the cat
that ate
the canary."
BingoBoingo: "Ms. Kim has one of
the all-time great LinkedIn profiles: Harvard, Cornell, Columbia Law,
the Innocence Project, Shearman & Sterling,
two other law jobs, founder or CEO at
two start-ups and now a venture capitalist."
BingoBoingo: ;;later
tell pete_dushenski Search for "Clean My Archives" if you consider using it be sure
to read it.
There isn't much
to it.
