Vexual: 'firestone being a cheap chinese tyre that vurns
as good
as any bridgestone, and also goats and soda
decimation:
as if you can delete anything on the internet anyway
mircea_popescu: i keep getting requests from derps to delete this or that bit from trilema
as if this were somehow a matter of course
decimation: probably because it's depressing
as fuck to know that your culture is on the permanent wane
mircea_popescu: now, had the austro-hungarians actually defeated the nasty side of germans, then yes, europe
as world power.
decimation: I guess what I mean by 'nazi' is 'europe
as a world power' instead of 'europe
as us disneyland'
mircea_popescu: but anyway, for living things the problem is mostly their own metabolism. radioactive iodine is not distinguished from plain iodine ends up in endocrine system. strontium is,
as far
as the body is concerned, perfectly good calcium. so on.
decimation:
as I wrote yesterday, one can always write a script to explore /sys/ if one wishes to understand how their devices are laid out
TheNewDeal: decimation , many conservatives do this
as well
dub: decimation: I don't really consider teh US
as having a political system
Pierre_Rochard: DanielKrawisz: I lost trust in humanity
as a whole, it’s nothing personal
danielpbarron:
as to the conversation regarding BTC or XBC, a suitable symbol is '$' because, screw the dollar
Daniel_Krawisz: So I'm curious
as to why mircea_popescu has been saying that an increased block size is a security problem. What's the issue here? (sorry, I suck at spelling)
Daniel_Krawisz: So I'm curious
as to why mercea_popescu has been saying that an increased block size is a security problem. What's the issue here?
danielpbarron: i think of it
as an exponential thing -- not sure what the base is
bitstein: Okay, well
as I clearly said, we are still learning. Our ratings will adjust over time. I actually probably need to give Daniel a complex number. A 7i + 6.
Daniel_Krawisz: Well if I'm not supposed to signal anything, then I'll just give everybody random numbers
as ratings.
nubbins`: even the nano rating is a lel, but it's true
as well
mircea_popescu: yeah well chief derp didn't sound
as exciting to the prospective candidate
BingoBoingo: bingoboingo cazalla heh check out the furry of attention your little project is getting from our enemies. methinks we;ve struck oil here. << I think the individual blogs stung from time to time. The concentrated effort on a news
as information service scares them.
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves: Note that it's ironic that I actually made this purchase by mistake because I thought the "Deposit" button meant , yknow, depositing funds, not exchanging currencies. Your system of dollarifying all numbers is obnoxious. Let people type in bitcoin amounts and understand it
as a separate currency. You're just confusing things." <<< they're not JUST confusing things.
mircea_popescu: but anyone else... who cares if the bill comes due just
as you're due for pension payments? hm ?
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves: do ebay servers get hacked when they discover coupon counterfeiters? << no, because ebay servers are already hacked by design, because they use the "proper" software
as indicated.
nubbins`: thestringpuller: Your item was undeliverable
as addressed at 2:51 pm on September 20, 2014 in ATLANTA, GA 30309. It is being returned if appropriate information is available.
nubbins`: let them be henceforth known
as The Enemies
PeterL: didn't MP once refer to local currency
as "food vouchers"?
dignork: thickasthieves: in "send money home" scenario, no arbitrage/insurance is required, unless we are talking about hedging volatility risk. Any btc buyer or seller migh assume himself in "remittance business", which means unrestricted lower bound for margin. that's why i think remittance
as a business will disappear. It will just turn into a corner case of btc<->whatever trade.
dignork: thickasthieves: in case of wide usage of btc, remittance
as business will disappear
dbolser: is there a set of functions it performs
as cost enters certain ranges?
thickasthieves: also keep in mind that mining costs
as reported by reddit etc, are just a snapshot of what can be seen, there have been private operations implementing their own chips for a while now
thickasthieves: Note that it's ironic that I actually made this purchase by mistake because I thought the "Deposit" button meant , yknow, depositing funds, not exchanging currencies. Your system of dollarifying all numbers is obnoxious. Let people type in bitcoin amounts and understand it
as a separate currency. You're just confusing things."
thickasthieves: this is all Circle had to say about my inquiry
as to my order being cancelled "We may have delayed your transaction due to our fraud prevention monitoring. I apologize for any inconvenience! We should have this issue resolved in the next few days."
mats_cd03: >Fortunately technological progress marches on, and Nielsen’s Law of Internet Bandwidth and Moore’s Law make scaling up easier
as time passes.
mats_cd03:
as i understand it moore's law doesn't mean shit anymore
thickasthieves: "SR Server needed only to be “reasonable” – that is, justified by “legitimate governmental interests.” Vilar, 729 F.3d at 86. Given that the SR Server was hosting a blatantly criminal website, it would have been reasonable for the FBI to “hack” into it in order to search it,
as any such “hack” would simply have constituted a search of foreign property known to contain
thickasthieves: expectation of privacy in the SR Server,
as required for him to have standing to move for its
thickasthieves: "
As a threshold matter, the declaration does not establish that Ulbricht had a reasonable
mircea_popescu: the very point of qntra is for there to not be a distance between truth,
as represented here, and news.

as i understand, the term originally applied to brands of optical rifle sight designed to withstand the field (water, whacking over enemy's head, etc.) vs ones that only need to survive a leisurely duck hunt
mircea_popescu: just that simple fact. "no amount of environmentalism helps anything
as long
as you continue to exist"
mircea_popescu: because cloudflare,
as any other usg product, can never be a failful piece of shit that doesn't work.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: This is very true about the large blocks working against security. Throw it up there
as a comment.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo the problem with gavin's idiocy isn't merely that "substantial increasing barrier to entry for operators of full nodes", horrid
as that may be.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform>
as pictured in the film '300'. << it's an insane depiction. the original guy was actually pericle's master.
WolfGoethe: bitcoin can indeed help the underbanked... but what about us "over" banked...
as in those being crushed by the banks and their fees and hassele
WolfGoethe: this is what they fear most
as is evident by the case of the 13 colonies
mircea_popescu: <decimation> "
as a community"? << yeah seriously. lettuce focus
as electromagnetic radiation instead.
WolfGoethe: What is the most vital thing we must focus on now
as a community ?
thestringpuller:
as they both affect the same socioeconomic groups for some reason...
decimation:
as I recall Mr. Yarvin quoted Lord Cromer
as saying that he reckoned he could effectively rule egypt if he could publicly hang one egyptian of his choosing per year
mircea_popescu: "Northern Irish Protestants and Northern Irish Catholics. Hutus and Tutsis" perhaps the most ignorant piece of drivel ion there. im counting it
as two strikes in one at any rate.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> herr poettering is quite close to destroying linux
as a going concern, imho. << no. what he is close to is destroying the notion of "updates"
as a going concern. which is a fucking brilliant thing, they should have died ten years ago.
BingoBoingo: midnightmagic: That isn't ineffective. That's efficiency. Cramming
as much living
as possible into his time.
mircea_popescu: "According to the report, a work for successfully enforcing the schooling has been dynamically pushed forward
as the one involving the whole state, all people and the whole society and signal successes have been made in it."
mircea_popescu: still the major problem will be that while on average say it's an ideal market, 0% bias, that average has a poisson distribution of maybe 15% each way, so any individual buyer could see a price fuzziness
as close to 30%
as his luck gets.
Naphex: punkman: the deamon which parsesd bitcoind data dir, uses shmop
as IPC
dignork: Naphex: still,
as far
as I can see they fail to provide any usefull functionality besides what already done in counterparty. Impossibility to spend/destroy assets by dumb wallet is a nice touch, but that's it.
dignork: mircea_popescu: bias was mentioned
as part of explanation on why arbiters will act
as random oracles, thus making risk split 50/50 on buyer and seller.
dignork: dionyziz: Another potential problem: decentralized arbitration will act
as random oracle. If arbiters will keep bias towards buyer, sellers will increase prices to compensate. Bias towards sellers will make buyers to seek discount >= bias rate. Assuming sellers will have to maintain their ratings, risk will mainly be on the seller side, this risk will be priced in. Do you have any estimates on the
mircea_popescu: these two are not the same in any sense, stop using them
as synonyms.
dionyziz:
As I said, in OpenBazaar we don't try to solve the problem of shipping.
brianhoffman: well i’d like to say we’re working on a decentralized drone delivery network
as part of this
bounce: not all trades involve items shipped, and where they do the users of any system, decentralised or not, basically have to provide their own safety. cut-outs and that sort of thing. it does put a bit of a damper
as to what is reasonable to advertise.
mircea_popescu: dionyziz b ecause you're leaking information through the shipping. think of it in crypto terms, you're using a 8 bit key on an amiga
as part of the process.
brianhoffman: well i think that mirrors real life rather well.
as your “image” becomes larger your activity becomes less indistinguishable from others.
mircea_popescu: well, for
as long
as you're small nobody cares that you're moving contraband back and forth, because it's not meaningfully discernible from the general noise of the system
brianhoffman: and those engaging in privacy conscious behavior will know to protect
as best they can out of band from OpenBazaar
dionyziz: You
as in, people in this channel who have worked on this.
dionyziz:
As for your question regarding improvements over your bitcoin-otc wot work, I'd like to first say that we appreciate the work you've done.
mircea_popescu: well that was @ brianhoffman. you, i asked how you aim to improve the wot
as it is
mircea_popescu: dionyziz well not so much on your ideas whatever they may be, but moreover, how familiar are you with the wot
as it works and is implemented currently ?
thickasthieves: would it be absurd for me to suggest that bitcoin volatility has a base shape, which appears
as fractals and distorts according to current trend? sorta like an elliot wave or bubble pattern? something like the shape of the algorithm
as averaged by combinining all trade bots and human behavior?
bounce: that refers to the same guy
as the brianhoffman popped by here earlier?
thestringpuller: we should just refer to maxcoin
as jefferycoin for now on.
mircea_popescu: brianhoffman: i know that Dionysis feels the same way so please don’t be turned off by anything we throw out there
as we’re not trying to stomp out others who are smarter on this stuff <<< well the s/use/leverage/g thing you got going is a bit weird.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron: links are fine
as long
as they aren't videos without tits << hm, thinking about it, that's exacly the rule, isn't it ? observant daniel.
pete_dushenski: "The new [French cybersecurity] rules include fines of
as much
as 750,000 euros for companies that fail government security audits, and demand that French businesses reconsider their technology choices to focus on certified -- mostly ‘‘made in France” -- products."
brianhoffman: ok so the folks from freenet argued that
as well
brianhoffman: i know that Dionysis feels the same way so please don’t be turned off by anything we throw out there
as we’re not trying to stomp out others who are smarter on this stuff
punkman: "Global trust is trust towards a particular individual which is seen
as the same from all members of the network. Projected trust is established through a pseudonymous partial knowledge web-of-trust, while global trust is established through proof-of-burn and proof-of-timelock mechanisms."
danielpbarron: links are fine
as long
as they aren't videos without tits
danielpbarron: i figured
as much, or else it would already be a think in here
kakobrekla: someone really needs to put up a site "derp for btc" to serve
as craigslist
thickasthieves: then clowns not dressed
as clowns firr tshirts from cannons every 20min
