assbot: Logged on 21-01-2015 02:59:39; Luke-Jr: I
think
the db_config patch may explain why it works, but could be potentially inadequate for
the current consensus rules
mircea_popescu: this worm's progress made
them use
those words because apparently one is more of a bitch
than
the other.
mircea_popescu: they don't proceed from an in depth understanding of
the
thing, but merely by and by, as experience allows.
mircea_popescu: decimation
that is happenstance, arriving from
the very haphazard manner in which abstraction works out of
the group of power rangers
mircea_popescu: a fire affects everything, related or not.
this is more like cancer : it affects
the victim, but not
the chasir he sits on or
the op fucking
them in
the ass.
decimation: Labeling one consensus as 'hard' and another as 'soft' doesn't seem
to be a good use of language
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Ourobourus eating itself as of
this year. New in
the public discussions of
that crowd
mircea_popescu: the other is
the consensus
that allows for
transactions
to be accepted as valid.
mircea_popescu: one is
the consensus
that allows for new blocks
to be mined.
mircea_popescu: decimation contrary
to what superficially is being claimed, bitcoin really consists of
two consensuses.
decimation: whether
they want
to create it or not,
there is a spec
decimation: To my way of
thinking, either
the protocol is broken or it isn't
assbot: Logged on 21-01-2015 18:11:39; gavinandresen: a hard fork means everybody running a full node must upgrade, or
they will be on a different chain
assbot: Logged on 21-01-2015 18:11:24; gavinandresen: a soft fork means miners must upgrade, or
their blocks will be rejected.
mircea_popescu: anyway, so
this entire "abuse", "racism" whatever libertard bullshit / paralegal paralogistic construction is finally reaching
that necessary point in its evolution where it mostly consumes itself.
nubbins`: mp i
think
that is actually burned into my brain now
nubbins`: "everyone else is a goat
the same age and gender as me"
BingoBoingo: The girl was always fat, and weev was in jail. Girl fatlogiced a family and worksafe site
then shuttered ED.
The id didn't like
that.
mircea_popescu: i
thought
the "coredevs" left because
the guy grew up and
the girl grew fat
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Only at
the start. Deviating so far from LJ is why it had a hardfork crisis
the coredevs lost.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: And
this is why I never got
the appeal of 4chan except as distilled in retrospectives
though Encyclopedia Dramatica
mircea_popescu: these fucking imbecile children of
their imbecile mothers already. oh, college is
too hard for you ? let's change
the admission criteria! you wanna start a business but you're as dumb as fuckinmg rocks ?
that's ok, start a blog instead. you wanna be a hacker
too ? fine, fine, just edit some pronouns in other people's githubs.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
To pay
the, worked for a cloud bullshit company, violated
the non-compete, and needed merit washed.
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: Don't higher compliments on
this channel normally contain "fuck you"?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, like ChangeTip she
too recieved venture capital for a blog.
felipelalli: kakobrekla: Not sure if it is a compliment, but
thank you!
kakobrekla: felipelalli well its a decent description of
things.
the name and
the article. most people even fail
to assemble
that.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: She's
the one who said something
to
the effect of Linux community needing
to grow
the balls
to expel Linus or some shit.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i don't get it. why are we
thinking some ex-gf of some failed gofundme capitalist is famous or something ?
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: But means signal
to noise. I assume Mike Hearn forked Google
Translate
too.
mircea_popescu: then went nutso with one of
the "libertarian island"
things which smells a lot like scam.
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> [] i don't know anyone
that seriously
thinks
they have a model on it << severely lacking in
the whole conversation
ben_vulpes: dood
there must only be one canonical window manager
undata: w/e you gave into your own
tooling lust
ben_vulpes: undata recommended me an emacs config change
that
took *hours*
to unsnarl
BingoBoingo: It depends, but usually I win when odds in favor of Serena drop
to under multiplying my stake by
ten as
the payout.
BingoBoingo: These occasions only happen a few
times a year. Why not
take whatever scam odds a shady book offers
to
turn no more
than 0.2 BTC into 1 BTC.
BingoBoingo: But first she has
to make it all of
the way
to round 5.
BingoBoingo: Usually when she beats serena she gets promptly knocked out of whatever
tournament a round or
two later.
BingoBoingo: God Damn. It won't be until round 4 of
the Australian open
that a Serena Williams / Alize Cornet rematch is possible.
mircea_popescu: what, srsly ?
that's one of pop culture's most notable artefacts!
CoraCrisT: so Kim Kardashian is publishing her new book/photo album called Selfie or Selfish... Amazon is selling a book with Satoshi`s posts from bitcointalk and gavin wants
to hard fork bitcoin...
CoraCrisT: enjoying myself with gavin`s wannabee reformed
theology
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
That's a pretty good summary of it. Gotta hide
the smokes.
pete_dushenski: undata mircea_popescu
the
term for
this being, of course, iatrogenics
mircea_popescu: to
the point it was pretty much comedic.
they didn't
TRY
to do it. but
they did it all
the damned
time
assbot: Nicolas Cage

The Hollywood Reporter ... (

mircea_popescu: this is known
to medical practitioners since forever. russia's newbie statesmen (commies ) stepped in it with extreme regularity
mircea_popescu: that's
the problem, what appears on
the surface as doing one
thing ends up doing
the exact opposite when very complex systems are involved.
undata: mircea_popescu: I read your piece recently on how enfranchising all makes for significantly less representation in
the society
mircea_popescu: <undata>
this social media
thing I
think has created
the notion
that identity is a matter of self-definition << has little
to do with social media
tho. it's more an outgrowth of
the "civil rights" movement.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
That's on
the unpublished chart.
BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski>
try spending your days on newspaper websites reading about "terrorism" and "celerities" and see if your noodle doesn't
turn
to mush << Helps if you pickle it with ETOH aforehand for preservation.
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> asciilifeform [..] << You have an absurdly gross overestimation of
the standards for Boyscout badges << i dunno dude, i never got
the "all girlscout nookies" one.
pete_dushenski: selective filtering is completely mandatory for a functioning brain, if not in fact
the best definition
thereof
pete_dushenski: try spending your days on newspaper websites reading about "terrorism" and "celerities" and see if your noodle doesn't
turn
to mush
pete_dushenski: our wots can be so much larger
than we can biologically manage
that
the signal is drowned out by
the noise
pete_dushenski: as
to "words meaning zero" it's more
that we're privy, if not downright inundated, with words from people who don't know how
to use
them
pete_dushenski: so it's a markov chain going from shiny
toy
to shiny app
to shiny
turd
