BingoBoingo: beautyon: I don't see how
they could not know. I mean
they can't even get
their favorite
to stop bleeding because
they pay $145/CPM for
TV marketing
beautyon: BingoBoingo:
That realization will make
them even MOAR furious.
They are out of
time, and
these silly associations are window dressing at best.
assbot: HashFast - or why
the fiat legal system doesn't actually exist and doesn't actually matter pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... (
http://bit.ly/1xZFUK5 )
mircea_popescu: beautyon anyway, for a very instructive example of how
the courts work for bitcoin "captn's of industry",
there's
that recent hashfast debacle
beautyon: Their loss of control is going
to harden
their attitudes. I can't wait
to see
them squirm.
mircea_popescu: anyway, he's welcome
to participate in bitcoin just as soon as he completes his log reading stage and persuades anyone his head's not full of straw.
mircea_popescu: i have my doubts he's allowed
to commit anything past words in
this matter.
assbot: 2/
the answer is not
to ignore
them or fight
them.
the answer is
to educate
them, inform
them, and work with
them
mircea_popescu: beautyon who
then ?
that guy with a blog, whatever it was called ?
joecool: mircea_popescu: nice domain for
the foundation, did you guys actually fix 0.5.3
to fetch all blocks???
beautyon: Andressen, Wilson, Brito:
two multi millionaire Statists and a Washington wonk, hell bent on
the law. It will be interesting
to see if
they are for fork / suicide.
decimation: I wonder why
there is so much action against gold
mircea_popescu: so... it's a wart in full process of
taking care of itself.
mircea_popescu: they recently announced "they will focus on btc core", ie, "we can't afford anything past gavin's salary". and not even
that for all of 2015.
mircea_popescu: vessenes' outta dough,
the rest of
the scammers involved are barely solvent and burried under
tons of lawsuits (karpeles, caleb, ver, kenna, you name it)
[]bot: Bet placed: 1 BTC for Yes on "Gold
to drop under $1000 before March 2015"
http://bitbet.us/bet/1101/ Odds: 92(Y):8(N) by coin, 92(Y):8(N) by weight.
Total bet: 1.1 BTC. Current weight: 99,962.
beautyon: mircea_popescu: as long as it stays on Reddit
that's fine.
They had better prepare
to back down quickly, or suffer losses. Sadly
these feeble men run
to
the courts habitually which may or may not be a nuisance.
mircea_popescu: i don't know
that vessenes' happy scamfarm is or ever was involved in anything
to do with standards.
mircea_popescu: i fully expect
them
to
try, fail, and
then spend
the next six months writing how mp is a scammer all over reddit/the boy's bathroom
mircea_popescu: as far as
they're concerned, any stupidity
they
try is ok, "nobody could have foreseen it won't work" and it's putin's fault.
beautyon: BingoBoingo: I actually believe
that might be
true on a subconscious level. Astonishing.
mircea_popescu: beautyon i don't
think you understand how
the us politico mind works.
BingoBoingo: beautyon: Well he can't quit without becoming a nobody so he prolly figures he might as well
try
to kill
the
thing himself.
beautyon: BingoBoingo:
Then he should walk away. Unless he _likes_ being a lightning rod.
BingoBoingo: beautyon: Gavin really doesn't even seem
to like Bitcoin
that much anymore.
BingoBoingo: Well isn't
that what
Trilema's for. So you can save your memory's immediate recall juice for more pressing issues.
beautyon: mircea_popescu: Surely he must know in
that case
that he cannot possibly win and
this change will be rejected. It means forsaking control of
the future direction of
the standard and ceding it
to you.
mircea_popescu: i had plainly forgotten
that article, imagine my surprise when i see an unfamilir
title called up and
the server actually respond.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'm just building a metaphor based on Past
Trilema posts which is surprising easy when you write as much as you. I figure
the
Tundra artichokes can be worked into a sort of
Tarqin/Poppy reference.
mircea_popescu: doubt
they will. some pool ops might be clueless enough
to
try and hijack
the network
to please gavin/usg, but
that's ok,
they'll get shot later.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo am i
thick or is
the answer about as related
to what it quotes as gavin's "covered" is related
to economy ?
beautyon: The enemy must be contacting all
the miners in private
to get
them
to switch. Or is
that irrelevant?
mircea_popescu: wtf bs "right
to be forgotten".
there's no such right, unless
they're forgotten
they're remembered.
decimation: lol "According
to
the government’s complaint (PDF),
the email address
that Gustafson provided on his U.S. passport application was
the same one he allegedly used
to maintain a Facebook account under
the Jack Farrel alias."

mircea_popescu: but one can readily understand why a verizon for dns is worse
than any alternative.
mircea_popescu: the agenda of computing security is moved
towards increased pwnability in
the exact same way and for
the exact same reasons
the agenda of political discussion is moved
towards increasing socialism.
mircea_popescu: it's funny how
these write-ups never fail
to include some call or other
to "join
the horde"
mircea_popescu: "While you’re monkeying around with your router setting, consider changing
the router’s default DNS servers
to
those maintained by OpenDNS."
mircea_popescu: orly. im sure
they're "commercial" in a sense other
than, "moar bezzle"
mircea_popescu: "The botnet is not made entirely of home routers; some of
the infected hosts appear
to be commercial routers at universities and companies"
PeterL: would 3-d printing help in manufacturing on of
those
tesla valves?
decimation: (that is a web 2.0 'front end'
to
the prediction program
mircea_popescu: but
that'll happen before "quantumcomputing" of any description, so...
decimation: indeed, as well as fine-grained details like your latitude,
time of day, solar flares, etc
mircea_popescu: (incidentally,
that's kind of what
that's designed with in mind. if we get quantum boxes, gossipd will be
the killer app for it)
decimation: asciilifeform: herr shannon's limit ultimately governs your ability
to push bits
through a channel
mircea_popescu: instead, people having in
their house
the quantum equiv of gossipd
mircea_popescu: anyway, it may be
that
the entanglement experiments come
to fruition, and shortwave as well as
the current
telco version of internet become obsolete at
the same
time.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> (using
the latter, conceivably, you might leave your receiver running for
three days and in
the end a light comes on; and
then you can hear an hour-long broadcast.) << could leave it right
to
the rainfall collecting bucket
decimation: PeterL: a 'standard' shortwave channel is 4 kHz in width,
through which you can push maybe a few kilobits/sec depending on what kind of scheme you are using
decimation: well, it's not just
the high noise - it's also
the
terrible multipath
that arises due
to ionospheric propagation
PeterL: how high of bandwidth could you
transmit over shortwave?
decimation: the problem is
that
the 'image' of shortwave is AM broadcast, but nothing prevents advanced digital schemes
decimation: I
think Russia still operates
their Russian foreign broadcast service
decimation: asciilifeform: "Germán Armando Plett’s knowledge was scraped
together from
the ‘Deutsche La Plata Zeitung’ (German La Plata Newspaper) and
the nightly German radio broadcasts he was devoted
to." << shortwave broadcast is dying, I guess because internet
