mircea_popescu: teach all
the idiots how
to read and write - get fifty billion pages about how important idiots are, aka
the internet.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo soo, chick findsa out
that her "father" is infertile, gets fixated on it,
tries
to replace him, imagines
this sort of pathology ius somehow universal or important for people generally.
nubbins`: <+cazalla> 2.4
trillion yet concerned about bitcoin <<< natch
cazalla: 2.4
trillion yet concerned about bitcoin
cazalla: davout, "Black Friday figures for MasterCard were not yet available, but
the company reported in October
that it had processed $2.4
trillion in payments in
the first nine months of 2014"
davout: i should put my blockchain.io
to use for lulz & phishing
cazalla: anyway,
that one is for btc.com, wonder how popular it is for phishing
cazalla: davout, first
time i've come across
this punani code for domains
cazalla: davout, no idea, perhaps
to encourage gov
to crack down on it, seems
to be
the case given
their submission
to aussie senate.. sorta like an ex gf
that insists on fucking
things up with your new gf
davout: cazalla: "prolly an attempt
to use what influence
they have left" <<< what for? push bitcoin?
cazalla: what
trickery is
this? XN--B1A4AC.COM
cazalla: reminds me a bit of iraqi info minister, no bitcoin in
the city at all!
cazalla: prolly an attempt
to use what influence
they have left
davout: cazalla: i don't even get why
they feel
the need
to
talk about bitcoin
fluffypony: I can't believe in 2014 we have GoDaddy leading
the way in managed DNSSEC and Facebook leading
the way in correct
Tor hosting for clearnet sites
fluffypony: facebook, of all
things, actually spent
the
time and energy in getting right
fluffypony: the most annoying
thing is
that
they should have expended effort in using eschalot
to create a memorable address
fluffypony: that fuckwit infosec "expert"
that's helping
them irritates me
davout: fluffypony: nice comment on
the "blockchain onion gets an ssl cert" derpage
BingoBoingo: Maybe someone who bought S.MPOE round 2 shares finally decided
to part with
them?
BingoBoingo: Either
that or Obama's secretly had an MPOE account
mats_cd03: i sold ma shares after it crashed and
temporarily recovered
to ~0.00075,
then bought back at 0.0005
thinking it was
the bottom ;_;
BingoBoingo: That's a good question, but given
the options market is hibernating in wait of better price signals some large share dumping seemed inevitable... prolly...
mats_cd03: my more immediate concern is...wtf is happening
to s.mpoe
mats_cd03: anyway, like mp says, something something usg catching a falling knife
twice
BingoBoingo: mats_cd03: Sure. Nice place
to build another launch pad.
mats_cd03: 01:14:25 <+BingoBoingo> Such flat, BTC made it
to
the moon, but got stuck in
the sea of
tranquility << makes me happy,
tbh
BingoBoingo: Hard
to
take "right flag" down
the Mississippi leg of
the
trip.
punkman: maybe less so with
the right flag
punkman: actual boat is an acquired
taste
BingoBoingo: Either in
the sense of a literal ocean going craft or
the metaphorical Ford Crown Victoria
BingoBoingo: What's wrong with
the mud? Also maybe considering saving up for a boat.
punkman: might need on of
those if going
the land route
punkman: you don't want
to be carrying
too much stuff
BingoBoingo: Prolly skip
the miner
though and keep building
the escape fund
punkman: payoff not
that great if you win
the solo mine lottery
BingoBoingo: I have
to admit I've been eyeing
the pretty Bitcrane machine as a spaceheater++
punkman: I liked
the "personal lottery machine" angle
BingoBoingo: Also
thinking maybe a ploy by manufacterers with farms
to get consumers
to buy
this spendy
time of
the year at any cost?
punkman: maybe not enough money
to pay electricity for a few operations
BingoBoingo: So, what's
the hypothesis. Hardware breaking and mining farms being more selective about
the hardware
they keep on?
decimation: eh, flat makes
those famed 'afraid of volatility'
types happy
BingoBoingo: Such flat, BTC made it
to
the moon, but got stuck in
the sea of
tranquility

mircea_popescu: why not charge 100 for a
thing
that doesn't work, so suckerlifeform can buy 20 ?
decimation: the end-to-end principle would suggest a minimal amount of protocol overhead is needed - let
the application layer figure
things out
mircea_popescu: just
the successive "encryption solutions"
they implemented is enough for humour in hell.
mircea_popescu: <decimation> asciilifeform:
the wifi protocol is needless complex is why <<<
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
Things exist
this way because danielpbarron is right and
there is a vengeful old
testament god. Jesus and mercy were a lie!
decimation: asciilifeform:
the wifi protocol is needless complex is why
decimation: asciilifeform:
the popular
thing
to worry about
these days in routers is 'buffer bloat'
decimation: no asciilifeform,
the real
thing is you make a light
that says 'pay money
to dealer'
decimation: louis xvi was 'in power' in
the same way I guess
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually
the examplke i was waiting for was
the iranian, what's his name
decimation: the general response
to which being 'do nothing' or 'let
the underlings handle it'
decimation: my impression is
that
they constantly awoken so
they can be 'in
the loop' on whatever derpish retardation is going on in
the world
mircea_popescu: what "in power" is
this where you can't fucking sleep ?
mircea_popescu: the cause, outside of drugs, is
that
they don't get any sleep.
mircea_popescu: and going out
they look in shockingly poor health for
their age.
decimation: is a child powerful if she pulls a lever
to demolish a building?
mircea_popescu: there's one
trend
that unites all us presidents
that i've ever seen.
that
trend is,
that going in
they look above average health for
their age,
decimation: I guess it's power in
the restricted sense
that
they are only allowed
to act in one direction
decimation: each of
them push
their own little agendas
mircea_popescu: who is
the "people in power" in one of
these systems ? who, in hollywood ? who, in washington ?
decimation: but each one has a
tyrannical journey
to
the
top
mircea_popescu: you know,
the ones
that don't pop, for whose benefit
the entire
thing is made.
mircea_popescu: you're roughly speaking of
the "bubbles in power" in a bottle of beer.
