☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎ trinque: by slowing
down all economic activity, of course!
ascii_field: 'There's going to be a shitload of stuff going
down. The hacker said they were going to release. If it were me, I'd had come clean immediately to my wife. I had a TS clearance at Lockheed, and you have no idea what questions they asked. "Have you ever fucked a sheep?". When the OPM hack happened, I wrote an article where I came clean to everything.'

mircea_popescu: incidentally, /me does not belive "for profit" education can be a thing. you can have for-profit amorous relaitons, something the us claims to be
down on. you can't have for-profit education. it is a fundamentally unprofitable activity.
trinque: I would really like to understand this logic by which the entire US military vanishes, rather than at worst being handed

down a few buildings at best
assbot: Logged on 19-08-2015 18:22:25; punkman: "One of the biggest blows to the for-profit education sector came in April, when Corinthian Colleges, based in Santa Ana, Calif., shut
down and filed for bankruptcy. At its peak it had 81,000 students across 111 campuses. It closed after the Department of Education fined it $30 million and cut off student aid because it had misrepresented job-placement rates at subsidiary Heald College."

☟︎ phf: look, c++, i'm trying to investigate a specific issue, not travel
down your rabbit hole of insanity
mircea_popescu: punkman that's the sort of anarcho-patriarchist attitude that keeps women
down under tech and stuff.
mircea_popescu: claiming otherwise because you got your sexual advances turned
down by a mass spectrometer is nuts.
mircea_popescu: exactly what that guy told satoshi the plan's gonna be, back on the original list in 2009. "they'll invent fake btc, trade it and it will "go

mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-08-2015#1241775 << the point here being (perhaps unfamiliar to some readers) that wheat is not a sort of plant that survives, except in particular situations : say post volcanic eruption, when everything's been burned
down. then the weed makes a quick colonisation, because of its disproportionate seeds.
☝︎ wilbns: mircea_popescu: it's regarding the idea of a hypothesis, theorem, manifesting it self later on
down in the line the form of something else, not necessarily positive
jurov: btw, if pouring pogos to concrete, any hard drive you'll use will wear
down in few years
mircea_popescu: but to get back to the ratchet thing : it is both impossible and a very stupid idea to have freefixing for bitcoin block size. because the network is trivial to disrupt when it comes to mining difficulty (by design and deliberately), it will guaranteedly be moved
down to 0 over time and the defense's necessarily too expensive.
mircea_popescu: it's not called settlement, it's called delivery. settlement is sitting
down and agreeing the paperwork.
ascii_field: notice that mining scales
down ad infinitum - bitcoin worked fine when mining consisted of spare cpu cycles
punkman: "“Not everything is for everyone and that’s the way it is,” he said, teeth gleaming indifferently. His theories about shoes were tinged, predictably, with a seeming misogyny. They come, he insisted, with a great deal of “sexual energy” – which is perhaps just as well, as the only thing it’s possible to do in a pair of his heels is lie
down."
BingoBoingo: I dunno how you find old Trilemas, even Qntra is starting to really slow
down the brainchain index
mircea_popescu: punkman> "Some California farmers have turned to drip irrigation to reduce their water use." << ah welcome to state of the art in 1970 greece << word. i was rather impressed with what "intensive agriculture" meant
down there.

down everything that moves: 'for piiigleet!'

down by police.
punkman: "To give you an idea of how desperate a retailer has to be to close overnight, the tiny supermarket where I work, which is about half the size of a Wal-Mart’s food section, lost 1 million dollars per year when it closed
down overnight in 2009. "

☟︎ mircea_popescu: "The great majority of reviews give an inadequate or misleading account of the book that is dealt with. Since the war publishers have been less able than before to twist the tails of literary editors and evoke a paean of praise for every book that they produce, but on the other hand the standard of reviewing has gone
down owing to lack of space and other inconveniences. Seeing the results, people sometimes suggest that
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> boils
down to the hardness of the fritz chip << the reason they don't call it that is because they are trying to avoid the literature documenting the costs of making it hard and the limitation its softness imposes.
ascii_field: what's to keep me from sitting it
down on one bus where ram hashes to H, then it spits key, and i sit it back
down on another.
ascii_field: boils
down to the hardness of the fritz chip (and yes, i will keep calling it that, because the motherfuckers don't get to pretend that fritz, palladium, etc. never happened.)
jurov: it heats up slower... but also slower to cool
down mircea_popescu: in this vein : went to pharmacy here, told pharmacist what i want, he went and fetched. cox-2 inhibitor, no prescription needed becasuse the criteria in argentina is "do you speak the language ? if not, get someone who does to write what you need
down for you"
trinque goes to code in a van
down by the river
BingoBoingo: <ascii_field> mircea_popescu: this particular delusion is known to have originated with a particular academitard, but his name escapes me << Actually harder to pin
down. Variations had been going on in Black Christian circles since the early 1800's at least, but Nation of Islam really brought this crazy to the mainstream
ascii_field: 'Congress passed the Protect Act after the Supreme Court struck
down a broader law prohibiting any visual depictions of minors engaged in sexual activity, including computer-generated imagery and other fakes. The high court ruled that the ban was too broad, and could cover legitimate speech, including Hollywood productions.
shinohai: Later on
down I did get it back out.
BingoBoingo: In my current situation knowingly servicing the drug crowd for pay is too much risk. I'm out on bail. If they want to even ask for my service and get acknowledged they need GPG
down already.
mircea_popescu: and the only place where this matters is reddit, much in the way the only place you find bilge is
down in the keel ?
mircea_popescu: "Even if you don't have any money of your own to scam, your data may well be of use to someone, and having your identity abused can mean trouble for you further
down the line. So don't make it easy for the crooks - try to stick to sensible and cautious settings on your social media accounts, as far as the providers allow, and avoid sharing anything you wouldn't want the whole world to know."
