mircea_popescu: the idea that what you do wil come back to haunt you is very much mpoe[-pr],
as far
as the bitcoin, and generally the "entrepreneurial" spaces are concerned.
mircea_popescu: and which is why
as BingoBoingo pointed out earlier, when touched there they react. (the tor people in that case)
mircea_popescu: why. because nothing is
as scary
as cunt, that's why. try it sometime.
undata: asciilifeform: hey man, I shoveled actual cow shit
as a summer gig long ago
mircea_popescu: no no, bitcoin itself can close in such a way so
as to not leave its own state crud crudely saved
decimation: mircea_popescu: you mean running bdb
as a separate process?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform:
as in, physically go places and do things << dunkin donuts ?
mircea_popescu: not
as in, well the hdd's wiped and the bios randomly rewired
mircea_popescu: but i mean... rendered unusalbe
as in you can't get a terminal on your monitor
decimation: lol that would be amusing
as a party trick
assbot: Logged on 13-10-2014 01:35:27; asciilifeform: rephrase, if you like,
as 'unit of discretionary income per unit of lost free time.'
☟︎ BingoBoingo: decimation: Not "painful"
as in pain pain. More like having a strong electrical current between your temple and ear while your legs cramp in a way that might need ice in the morning. More discomfort than pain proper.
decimation: I recall using netscape 1.0 and the user experience was pretty much the same
as firefox 30
decimation: yeah there were free forums
as I recal
undata: I vaguely remember gopher sites
as a young kid
decimation:
http://www.funtoo.org/Funtoo_Linux_FAQ << "Part of the distinctiveness of Funtoo Linux is its dependency-based OpenRC init system, so changing this would make it something other than Funtoo Linux. So we do not support systemd
as part of Funtoo Linux. "
undata: BingoBoingo: do the wrong drugs
as a kid?
ben_vulpes: decimation: i'm inching up on 252450, will post more
as i gin them up
PeterL: but I have never done anything quite like this, so I am learning
as I go
mircea_popescu: "Gavin Andresen's salary
as the full time lead developer of the entire bitcoin protocol is $209k a year."
assbot: Hey, misogynists: The shirts that scientists wear is just
as important
as sending spacecrafts to comets
mircea_popescu: "You'll find the core developers are detached and very different to their users.
As a developer of software myself I would find it disheartening if the bulk of my users were jerks like /r/bitcoin."
mircea_popescu: "Recently it was announced that a coalition of government agencies took control of many Tor hidden services. We were
as surprised
as most of you."
mircea_popescu: the world was not built by ignorant twerps. your ideas about "the world" are about
as well formed
as your ideas about "wagram". both are meaningless symbols to you. about one, you arbitrarily delude yourself you have something to say.
Anduck: ok.
as it's question hour: thoughts about bitcoin short term (1-2 years) valuation?
mircea_popescu: i suppose the one true source of trolling is exactly that. ironically enough, pankake was orignally selling himself
as a troll for hire iirc.
mircea_popescu: obviously if that's the only job they can get they AREN'T in their right mind. so why should their unright mind get an option
as to what it wants to do ?
mircea_popescu: in any case : i do not exactly believe b-a is intended for the workaday people. let them put a decade in, build themselve financially to the position where they can participate in a start-up, and intellectually to the position where they actually aren't quite
AS fucktarded
as the average 20something.
jurov: ie.e life can be defined
as anything that needs money
mircea_popescu: there's no such thing
as "not needing money" except for coma patients.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: The whole idea that anything can be so "shared"
as to have no value in itself is not a problem if the rest of the world ensures that nobody _is_ starving or needing money. <<< this is nonsense anyway. money is always needed, this is a scaling problem. average rat living in a hole in the middle east linking his pretenses to humanity to his possesion of an old cellphone someone lost may think ben_vulpes' l
mircea_popescu: of inadvertence, negligence, or mistake.”
As a factual matter, this claim is questionable. It could just
as well be said that heavily counseled parties to mega-mergers do not sign merger agreements containing glaringly ambiguous terms that lead to avoidable litigation—but here we are."
mircea_popescu: jurov: when RT invites amir taaaki
as bitcoin expert, it's clear what they are up to, but when they pull some "dutch expert" it's suddent sacrosanct truth <<< lol he got you there asciilifeform
mircea_popescu: maybe something
as idiotic
as "one line starts with slash" or w/e.
Anduck: mircea_popescu:
as you saw, i tried without first
mircea_popescu: xanthyos: california is a scam state and hollywood has used its media to convince the world that it doesn't suck there, but it really does <<< this is by design. cute but stupid 17 yo chick from minesota goes to cali to be rich and famous, has to confront the unexpected situation where being homeless there sucks so
as to eagerly overcome her education and suck cock.
Anduck: sounds pretty good
as in it doesn't shit the chain
nubbins`: worth noting that this definition relies on flow in
as well
as out
TheNewDeal: I can just
as easily be a fry cook at mcdonalds and change my $100 monthly profits to btc
nubbins`: successful
as a measure of percent exit from fiat
nubbins`: his coins aren't colored
as such
nubbins`: probably tat, he got rich
as fuck
nubbins`: but they can sure
as shit eat crow :D
nubbins`: he hasn't been around
as much since he stopped with xbond, neobee, etc
pete_dushenski: it's nothing short of incredible to see just how tame mp reads then
as opposed to now
jurov: i can easily see russians doing it and placing buk in there
as diversion
jurov: dunno we ever solve this here, it's clear
as mud
jurov: when RT invites amir taaaki
as bitcoin expert, it's clear what they are up to
nubbins`: i actually use viscosity
as a guide leading up to the smoke point
mats_cd03: "The city spends $165 million a year on homeless services, about half of which funds supportive housing. That’s one of the highest levels of per-capita spending on homelessness of any city in the nation, said Philip Mangano, who served
as the nation’s homeless czar under President Bush."
xanthyos:
as someone who's been homeless i've found it much easier to survive in backwoods towns in minnesota where people are poorer and not politicized
cazalla: RagnarDanneskjol, meh not promoting something that thinks "When a user wants to create an address, the user provides her identity to an IVS. The IVS checks that the provided identity is the identity of a real person who can be located and be accountable if illegal activity is detected, similar to existing Bitcoin payment systems such
as Coinbase." is a good idea
mircea_popescu: this is actually the fundamental problem with western academia. the self-licking icecreamcones problem is just a convenient frosting over this, but the point remains that even should that matter be solved,
as it trivially would be solved - by say a stalin, which is always cheap
decimation: asciilifeform: of course stalin's agents were all over the us bomb
as it was being made
mircea_popescu: cazalla i know specifically what im talking about, because the last looms capable of making the required felt were destroyed a decade ago
as part of a family feud.
Adlai: "TLA is a three-letter-acronym for three-letter-acronyms." << i'd go
as far
as/cronyms/gencies/
decimation: imagine 'future war' where your squad
as a 'laser machine gun'. In order to take the next hill, you need to lay down suppressing fire. the laser machine gunner opens up, and the enemy doesn't notice
decimation: well, the systems were small enough to 'fit in the head'
as ascii might say
mircea_popescu: i don't even think code
as tight can still be made, much like you can't have a proper boot made anymore, and hardly a proper suit of clothes.
mircea_popescu: i have NEVER and I do mean NEVER saw programs
as good
as bacxk in the days of asm.
mircea_popescu: And the lives of programmers were hard, and the case of their end-users miserable; for, strive
as the programmers might, perfection was achieved only in toy programs while in real-world systems the defect rate was nigh-intolerable. And there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
joecool: BingoBoingo: looks same
as mine except i have a ??? between the last two
mircea_popescu: Adlai: now that's an interesting hypothesis to test: a bot lurks and tracks "shortest path" to each past message, then records when i link it
as opposed to somebody else links it to me <<< actually a reconstruction of the ba logs where lines are nodes and they're given pr
as per original google mechanism may be the first step towards stemming this whole bundle.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that flgiuht path thing is not nearly
as indicative
as it may seem to the casual observer.
