mircea_popescu: meanwhile in collegiate partying from a different era, http://68.media.tumblr.com/c39136e095b0133010f3d5ed0ef909c7/tumblr_o8y04xpAOv1rtg6n0o1_1280.jpg

mircea_popescu: well, the usg problem is that they got left with a larger-than-usual hole as a result of their recent attempt to "gold" bitcoin.

mircea_popescu: nah it was like 20 bux. 15, 25, something. prolly half a btc at the time or such.

mircea_popescu: he and that schmuck filming a "bitcoin show" with the cam in demo mode pretty much share the accidentally-spotlighted-fucktard award for early bitcoinade.

mircea_popescu: "oh i got a VALUABLE DOMAIN NAME!!!"

mircea_popescu: in the meanwhilulz, someone made a "game" : https://www.nationstates.net/nation=tesla-land

mircea_popescu: ah yes, you have two different txs that spend the same output ; and the proposal was to resolve which gets included by adding a dependent tx with a higher fee ; so that A' + B always confirm instead of A because larger joint tx fee.

mircea_popescu: is that a quote or ?

mircea_popescu: amusingly en0ough the tx chain started happening a few weeks after i whined about wtf why is it not there. but i'm sure coincidenceh.

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes nah, that'd require an A and an A' and you decide which to go by terms of B fee. that is iffier.

mircea_popescu: for a coupla years now, yes.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah, about half of them do max 2, about a third of the remainder max 3, and i think ther'es a max 8 also in there.

mircea_popescu: alternatively, you can simply import that address privkey into an offline wallet, have it sign a different tx (with a fee!) and broadcast that.

mircea_popescu: yes. specifically, to spend the input you sent him. this will produce a chain of A->B txn, of which A has no fee itself but B does (except to get at it you must also include A).

mircea_popescu: by the washpo, and for being a convincingly "liberal" socialist.

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> ofc i forgot to set a fee for the node, so it's clearly my fault << spend from the paid address, WITH a fee. most miners will include both.

Just like many other M/s couples my baby has a slave number which is permanently etched on my body just as my masters mark is on hers. I was not about to let

mircea_popescu: in other elements from the depths, "I am purchasing a house in partnership with my sister and her husband since they are reconciling. When the house purchase was entered into, I asked my sister if she was interested in buying it jointly. She is on SSDI and her monthly income would not cover living expenses. I am on SSDI and my income covers the mortgage and a few other bills."

mircea_popescu: we had a little chat on the topic, me of the unreviewed default opinion that whatever, girly's affraid her uncle might see her strumpety ways and beat her to death. but the girls proposed it's really that the implicit humiliation of service does not bode well with the self's delusions of grandeur. "when she's a great and famous pop star in like two or three years, she doesn't want to have nudies on the interwebs".

mircea_popescu: "it's a human thing". http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/nigerian-scammers.jpg

mircea_popescu: that's a pity.

mircea_popescu: well... but the problem there is that it makes the whole thing look like a scam, neh ?

mircea_popescu can readily picture all these in community colleges being confronted with "X + 5 = 9, solve for X" staring blankly at "teacher" and chanting in a bovine voice "how does that works"

mircea_popescu: in other corroborating data : had bot pm a few thousand redditards directing them to the obvious two-bit-tits article. as you probably observed there were 0 bits paid out for 0 bits taken out ; however the bot account is flooded with responses.

mircea_popescu: a) since when is "intermediatye" aka basic algebra HIGHER math ? b) what the fuck is a field that doesn't require math ? c) wtf is the point of an obstacless education. is this schmuck fucking air ?

mircea_popescu: "Oakley is among a growing number of educators who view intermediate algebra as an obstacle to students obtaining their credentials — particularly in fields that require no higher level math skills." << teh confusion of ideas ffs. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo ffs, they let some douche go around in a bra on campus ?

mircea_popescu: speaking of which, overheard yest in car (as we were passing a quiznos sub thing with a huge "30% mas carne!!" ad) "do you know what that is ?" "no idea" "when i was a kid it was the very best sandwich thing, better than subway or what have you. so when you left me behind i went to try it out. jesus christ it was the saddest affair ever. i could have made a better sandwich in all of five minutes."

mircea_popescu: srsly now, you lot gotta try this place. it definitely gives la estancia de buenos aires a run for its money.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not only do i own vintage german cars (which, btw, were made for de market and imported here, not made in fucking us/brazil like the rest of the toyotas with bavarian paintjobs), but I WILL HAVE YOU KNOW i just ingested a 28 oz porterhouse steak! ☟︎

mircea_popescu: and speaking of fucking hookers, http://boards.4chan.org/biz/thread/2852399/this-guy-owns-over-a-billion-dollars-worth-of-btc

mircea_popescu: some cultures are a boon, but some cultures are a baboon, and i've yet to meet the (actual, as opposed to "african-usian" ersatz) black person whose black culture wasn't a terrible burden on their mind.

mircea_popescu: (much more of a torture implement than commonly realised btw)

mircea_popescu: ing widely available ( see eg http://trilema.com/2017/on-trisection-a-humble-contribution/#footnote_2_73491 ), but it can't possibly end there. and in all fairness, the uci as properly understood (see eg http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-21#1688642 ; http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-20#1687638 and so on) is definitely just this ia thing, one layer above bulldozer per se). ☝︎☝︎

With only a few keystrokes, it would allow me to enter any thought which occurs to me, along with any associations. The latter set would be expanded by the program to include anything which logically relates to the entry in question." is pretty much exactly what emacs users expect to obtain,

mircea_popescu: "at the time (october 2006) i was spending a lot of time jacking off to stuff i downloaded from the piratebay and i saw their hilariously republican blog ; so i figured... hey, i'm an american and therefore worse that a shitstain in a paki's undershorts. how could i possibly try and run off with as much of that as possible to sell to my nigger masters for some mountain dew ???"

mircea_popescu: fuck justin roiland with a spiked hot poker what the fuck is this poisonous crap.

mircea_popescu: ir lawyers to arrive. That’s actually why it’s so filthy. I was just looking to “troll” a big studio. Then, as I began editing the radio play and boarding it, the two characters ended up becoming something different than just a bad impression of Doc and Marty from BTTF. They slowly became two of my favorite characters that I’ve ever voiced. I backed down on the cease and desist bait and changed the spelling of their

mircea_popescu: maybe they have a different scheme.

mircea_popescu: incidentally, broken ssh key of a mail.pape-dawson.com server is kinda how you get all those hilarity emails isn't it ?

mircea_popescu: which is not a trivial proposition ; and can kinda allow you to decide who to convict.

mircea_popescu: there's a number of factors : water solubility ; electric philoreactivity ; specific enzimatic pathways ; molecular size in rough order.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo they do have a point though ; costa rica imports some stuff from the us, and you can always tell. don't even have to taste, smell is enough 90% of the time.

mircea_popescu: i have no idea how a pound of bloody porterhouse can possibly be worse for you than ~anything else ; but hey, who's gonna make 300 mn pounds of prime cut for all the idiots each day.
