mircea_popescu: (which is why shithead services like coinbase don'
t even implement the whole 8 digits. their 2010ish understanding of "de-anonymization technicues."
mircea_popescu: da fuck is wrong with these schmucks, anyway. "herpitty-derp, i wish to push a widely unpopular, nutty agenda. obviously the best way to do this is to ask people interested in selling more to side with me. because logically if those racist white supremacists actually boycott walmart until it puts the lot of us in a concentration camp, walmart totally won'
t. because hurr."
mircea_popescu: no, it doesn'
t. it sounds about as much like voltaire as any other bit of usian drivel.
mircea_popescu: punkman that's an entirely different argument tho. i have nfi what they're doing / dun care so much, but anyway. the fiat consensus is and has been, for the past ~800 years, that you can'
t oppose land ownership to road development.
mircea_popescu: i mean, it's one thing when they were simply stealing property to give to others who they figured "would pay more tax". that's fungible. but this isn'
t - train gotta go straight.
BingoBoingo: ;;later tell shinohai weren'
t you going to submit a qntra???
phf: asciilifeform: i didn'
t get my hands on one of those until early 2000s, hence had to write my own. i vaguely recall a collection of tsr on a hacker tools cd that i bought in a metro perehod :), but at the time i somehow didn'
t pay enough attention to them
mircea_popescu: (in proper terms : clueless people don'
t have what to delude themselves with)
mats: can'
t do computing work if i can'
t even read the damned terminals
mats: asciilifeform: things haven'
t degenerated enough in us for me to consider returning
BingoBoingo: <wilbns> sheesh i don'
t know what's up w/ my spelling. << I'm drunk. It seriously affects everyone's spelling.
wilbns: sheesh i don'
t know what's up w/ my spelling.
mats: sure, for people that don'
t need to work to live
trinque: I've never killed renoise, but anyhow, my actual complaint is that I can'
t call arbitrary chunks of noise a function and reuse them
imsaguy: Its amazing the amount of vitriol that is out there amongst people that probably don'
t even know the real difference between the two forks.
phf: ha, i remember we opted to use turbopascal for some programming olympiada and made a terrible mess out of it. basically were expect to come in some place, but we couldn'
t even finish the program
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: (nothing at all to do with 'delphi') << this didn'
t stop me from looking up delphi of the 90's lol
BingoBoingo: One time Ryan X Charles before he adopted that name approached my IRL name to set up St Louis Bitcoin meetup and I told him I don'
t want to meet the sort of people that would live in St Louis an share his kind of interest in Bitcoin.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: No reason to bother with the voat cloudflare wall at all if you don'
t care to afflict the stupid
thestringpuller: didn'
t know if they committed to like a mac branch of gpg or something or its just all gui shit
trinque: thestringpuller: I don'
t see the need to bolt a mac gui to gpg
mircea_popescu: "I've mentioned this countless times but I think it's obvious that true consensus should be coming from the largest, decentralized group in the Bitcoin space: its users around the world." << how the fuck is a bunch of circlejerking derps, who don'
t even REALISE that google's been feeding them results tailored to their own stupidity for a decade, who think wikipedia is a source of knowledge and whose enjoyment mostly co
mircea_popescu: better than any government. because, again, laissez faire and rape-y. can'
t argue with that.
assbot: Wouldn'
t it be great if the Bitcoin Community around the world were the source of "consensus" ? : Bitcoin ... (

BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> and lest it appear that they interviewed me, they didn'
t. just referenced and cited an article from last october << This is what the pros do
BingoBoingo: Wouldn'
t surprise me in the least Virtual Mining News people could become qntra contributors before the Torpeys and other CoinTelophone people do.
pete_dushenski: and lest it appear that they interviewed me, they didn'
t. just referenced and cited an article from last october
mircea_popescu: and yes, senna was maybe the best driver f1 ever had. top 10 for sure. it is bad that he died, it is WORSE that schumacher couldn'
t have died if he wanted to.
mircea_popescu: it doesn'
t, obviously, because i guess it must be really pleasant to be retarded.
mircea_popescu: because clearly, the problem of coingraph or w/e wasn'
t the idiots manning it.
mircea_popescu: o hey, check out all the things that matter according to people who don'
t.
mircea_popescu: couldn'
t just fucking put a bunch of pics up and go "this one is 9 thius one is 5"
BingoBoingo doesn'
t have the greatest hearing. Pretty sure tuba is too blame.
BingoBoingo: jurov: You are missing out. Great "Southern" dish. Pull up the peanut plant before the nuts brown and they cook delicious. Just don'
t keep well green so it a sort of necessarily local delicacy to places that can grow peanuts.
mike_c: kakobrekla: please change all the colors again, they aren'
t my favorite.
mike_c: yes, he is misguided. I didn'
t mean to criticize the room, just try to offer him an additional viewpoint.
mike_c: yeah, I just wanted to add the additional advice of - just because you *can* find an investor doesn'
t mean you should.
mike_c: no! just because you can find a woman doesn'
t mean you should start popping out babies.
mike_c: of course you can find someone to give you some money. doesn'
t mean you should waste your time doing it.
mike_c: williamdunne: whether or not you can find an investor shouldn'
t be the determining factor of whether or not you start the business.
assbot: Logged on 17-08-2015 20:44:13; mircea_popescu: kakobrekla seems it doesn'
t have enough colors maybe ? i get whole fields of multiple; speakers same color.
BingoBoingo: Heroin addicts isn'
t a plural of things. It is a singular system
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: They don'
t need to other heroin addicts do that for them, until it is the next batches "turn"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo they don'
t drag their lifeless, smelly corpses to a hole and pour anhudrous calcium carbonate on themselves. do they.
mircea_popescu: given that the alternative is "raise an army", and given that "iof you raise an army, might as well sell the captured women into slavery and cultivate poppies", people who don'
t particularly like the sight of moaning, chained women and heroin addicts have little choice.
assbot: Logged on 17-08-2015 18:32:48; punkman: oh it does? didn'
t know that
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla seems it doesn'
t have enough colors maybe ? i get whole fields of multiple; speakers same color.
☟︎ ascii_field: but the overall theme of thread from my pov was 'just because you can'
t quantify a cost worth shit, doesn'
t make it zero'
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> the reason nbc doesn'
t do this is because it doesnt' exist as a market yo. << The do it on cable, call it Univision.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t either. was not discussing the present day politics of it at all. merely, the principle of the matter.
ascii_field: thing is, i don'
t get the whole concept of having any sympathy whatsoever for 'needs moar room' when 100% of everyone making this argument is either usg shill or their useful idiots
mircea_popescu: they are not, and i can'
t stand the us trend of taking out the brake in question.
ascii_field might be thick, isn'
t certain how this theorem applies here
nubbins`: i don'
t think that banging sluts is a thing that someone who is driving around europe going to /incubators/ is doing
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i'm still in search of this gedankenbenefit that outweights 'you can'
t pour nodes into concrete any more, ever'
mircea_popescu: williamdunne any of them senior regulators / senior officials / anything other than people you met at a conference that hadn'
t got there on a first class ticket they bought and with two personal cocksuckers and a chef ?
relaxedman: Still trying to get this gentoo install going(openbsd wouldn'
t support my gfx card no money to buy a new one) its n6, varia, but stuck on getting a window manager all the guides want me to change profiles. also not sure how wayland fits in any ideas?
mircea_popescu: the reason nbc doesn'
t do this is because it doesnt' exist as a market yo.
mike_c: mircea_popescu: the entirety of this is "if people actually really really want to see it growing", no more. << interesting idea, but unless *we* want to see it grow I don'
t see point of writing it up yet.
trinque: williamdunne: my point was simply that "I could X as long as I find a rich guy that wants to help" isn'
t much of a strategy, much less so if you can'
t demonstrate upon meeting said rich guy that you can execute
williamdunne: trinque: Engine isn'
t too complicated, that'd be pointless
trinque: but if he doesn'
t have the money to provide for the financial aspects, kinda leads to "why bother"
mircea_popescu: williamdunne don'
t be too hard on self. it's unlikley they'd have signed for actual deal.
williamdunne: punkman: Had funding, one of the other companies they invested in when tits up and so they decided to withdraw support from all financial services companies they invested in. 10/10. My fault for not securing a deal where that wouldn'
t happen
trinque: chick can'
t keep it together
trinque: williamdunne: write it up, and rewrite for a damned long time.. or if it's code prototype it so you aren'
t just selling handjobs and smiles
mircea_popescu: ascii_field still, i tell you i don'
t see it. if the bitcoin userbase legitimately makes > 1mb of txn every 10 minutes, and if the miners are willing to indulge them and mine to the degree the ratchet kicks in, seems at best disingenuous to say "you can'
t do that because pogos".
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i suppose it doesn'
t JUST pose problems for bitcoinfs.
williamdunne: Do you have any advice you would be willing to share on raising small amounts of money for bitcoin projects, that doesn'
t come from VCs?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field looky : blocks would only stay full if needed full. so our pogo is a piece of shit in that case, you can'
t expect them to accomodate us.
ascii_field: so no parallelization (which we don'
t even have yet) helps
mircea_popescu: i would guess there's to the tune of 1mn interbank PM physical transfers a year worldwide. i don'
t think i'm qualified to answer either, but i will swear to your benefit the real figuree's closer to 1mn than 1k no prob.
ascii_field: but overall i just don'
t see this future where mega-blocks are a necessary thing
ascii_field: because now i can'
t use 1MB antifuse roms, etc.
