55400+ entries in 0.72s
decimation: this
as much
as anyone 'owns' a house in the us
cazalla: when looking for news, i come across quite a few MLM schemes for bitcoin such
as bitcoincycler.net, quite a few use pic/video of JuliaTourianski_ lol
assbot: its probably our friend 'little numbers'
as i call him. he visited bitbet earlier for a moment.
assbot: log1
as well, same box afaik
cazalla: it is interesting they release the images just
as the g20 starts here in australia
cazalla: asciilifeform,
as much
as i appreciate the translation (my primary school teacher died on mh17), it's a bit of a stretch for qntra to publish it
as bitcoin news
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
Adlai is exponentially more likely to have read a log entry, according to the shortest path from the present moment back in time to the target entry, where b-a.com links are weighted roughly the same
as simply reading backwards
Adlai: while people might not treat people
as interchangeable, dama fortuna does. "shit happens", especially in warzones... is the revelation in this article supposed to be surprising?
Adlai: that, and block reward (fee amount,
as opposed to fee count)
mircea_popescu: there isn't some sort of "us" that could just
as well be a standin for any of us.
ben_vulpes: Adlai: if anything, i'd have expected a surge
as those who held mpoe bought more to balance their crypto holdings while accumulating more btc
Adlai: note that i'm asking less "why did mpoe drop" and more "what evidence supports a correlation
as the explanation for the temporal coincidence?"
ben_vulpes: i suspect mpoe acts
as a stand in for an mpex market fund
assbot: The eagle never lost so much time
as when he submitted to learn from the crow.
PeterL: doesn't russia pretty much have
as much oil
as they want right now anyway? why do they need an excuse to grab more?
undata: only this time Syria must go
as well
undata: these events serve
as fine propaganda tools no matter what for both sides
joecool: hm reading about the assets project to roll back to 0.5.3, i see "rip out bdb" ? drop wallet support so it only functions
as node?
assbot: Logged on 14-11-2014 22:24:42; asciilifeform: (for n00bs only: who is 'lizard hitler' ? a character approximately
as real
as magnetic field lines were to michael faraday. don't look for magnetic field lines, they aren't there. physically. or
as far
as we can tell, anyway.)
☟︎ Adlai: of course, but the "manual trust verification" approach taken further would suggest only applying critical bugfixes,
as patches, signed by the developer who wrote them (preferably with a signature published at the time of the fix, alternatively obtaining a signature in the present day... or manually verifying the patch's trustworthyness, and signing yourself)
undata: I'd like to slash out the db bits and try something else, but I'm not going to bother with trying to manually merge other people's patches
as they come along in process
undata: and your nuke sub is going to get harder and harder to work on
as the number of patches grows
Adlai: darcs isn't that intelligent. the input data it gets from a repository is a partially ordered list of patches, possibly signed. this is slightly more general than an ordered list of patches, but just
as secure and interactive/manual
undata: Adlai:
as you were then; git solves precisely this problem or would not work.
Adlai: asciilifeform: you can add metadata such
as patch dependency which is not evident just from the patch's raw contents
assbot: Logged on 13-11-2014 16:38:23; asciilifeform: Adlai: darcs <<
as a military man, perhaps you are familiar with systems that could be automated easily, but aren't? e.g., ru nuke sub controls
Adlai: how charming, i'm only btc authed, but gribble presents it
as though i'm gpg authed too
gribble: Nick 'Adlai', with hostmask 'Adlai!~Adlai@gateway/tor-sasl/adlai', is identified
as user 'Adlai', with GPG key id 4D88596A7CDA03F9, key fingerprint FCBC64EFDF1D6C1E4E964AEE4D88596A7CDA03F9, and bitcoin address 13dkw1PtojBW74FN7ERbHqoEvgsTmtARuj
mircea_popescu: the only proper way to use bitcoin addresses
as identification correctly is to run a never-connected node that has no balance.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not even getting into these technical discussion : getting people to use their credit cards
as identification paperwork is a bad idea.
Adlai: such
as... police forces, armies, etc
nubbins` ponders turmite / langton's ant steady states
as analogies for steady states in human behaviour
mircea_popescu:
as opposed to moderately possible within a few thousand years ?
nubbins`: asciilifeform unfortunately the sea won't be seen
as alive until after it's dead D:
mircea_popescu: 'It follows that he cannot know that certain people at certain times do not understand in Parry-or Eliza-like ways. That is to say, he has no way of knowing that we do not ourselves sometimes function by means of "clever tricks".' actually, i will go
as far
as to say that it is always certainly the case understanding happens through "clever tricks"
mircea_popescu: will ONLY learn from fiction, inasmuch
as they find a way to link it to their own fiction.
mircea_popescu: because why report, right, there's all these fucktards that need to wonder "what mainstream nobody agrees with mp",
as if that's the fucking criteria nao, we vote for knowledge.
Adlai: ok, i'll admit, isiscoin serves to attract investment capital away from bitcoin, and acts
as a potentially stabler store of value for dollar-averse wealth
Adlai: this is about
as related to bitcoin
as it would be if south sudan were to mint its own pound... oh wait, they did. where's qntra on that?
assbot: Twitter rated
as 'junk' by S&P, shares drop 5pc - Telegraph
mircea_popescu: the #1 reason it is idiotic is that the inept player may actually and usually does notice the loosening, and takes this
as a honest signal that the expert is bluffing
mircea_popescu: the most significant error of judgement made by experts
as far
as i've seen yet is
mircea_popescu:
as far
as i can see, it's the common step away from excel
assbot: Notation
as a tool for thought: Wavelets in J | Locklin on science
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just about,
as one gets tired stuff starts to mutate.
cazalla: g20 is on and media are playing it off
as putin versus our prime minister due to MH17
BingoBoingo: Eh, might
as well get the bold claims in now, before the whips come
BingoBoingo: I mean over here we grow fucking Dent corn for the sugar and actual sweet corn
as a table vegetable
dgeats: BingoBoingo Not
as familiar with your blog, I’ll read through it
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo only workls for
as long
as they actually do.
mircea_popescu: Proving the sacrifice of some limited resource is a common technique in a variety of cryptographic protocols. Proving sacrifices of coins to mining fees has been proposed
as a universal public good to which the sacrifice could be directed, rather than simply destroying the coins. However doing so is non-trivial, and even the best existing technqiue - announce-commit sacrifices - could encourage mining centralization. C
mircea_popescu: this is presented
as contradictory, but it actually isn't.
PeterL: perhaps not the best name to drop
as WoT cred?
mircea_popescu:
as it just so happens, that theory is about to get tested.
mircea_popescu: i think in the end i got it, and so i could fire
as much
as i wanted, no concern for bs "laser heating"
assbot: my evolution
as a programmer
mircea_popescu:
As far
as I am aware, the phrase came into usage among knowing observers of the Vietnam War. A self-licking ice cream cone is a programme or policy that costs money and resources, generating a great deal of activity; produces indicators of its own success, preferably quantitative; but does not actually achieve its announced goals. Indeed, a proper self-licking cone undermines the very purposes for which it was created,
BingoBoingo: Los Zetas started
as a bunch of experts, but finite hit points and now the human shields are in charge and Nuevo Laredo can't have a nice hooker district anymore
BingoBoingo: Well, ISI* probably because 'Murica wasn't
as scary
as Saddam, so Pro Idiotas had room
undata: if we see IS
as an actual threat, we really must be in sore shape.
