mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think you're thinking of the case where you compile your thing and install it
as bytecode. i was thinking of the case where you compile locally.
mircea_popescu: jurov the discussion was
as to how often they get overwritten
mircea_popescu: in principle you should be able to define an object whose malleability allows enough functions to work so
as to be turing-complete.
mircea_popescu: in romanian comedienne is formed
as the diminutive. comediette.
mircea_popescu: it's also why i tend to be suspicious of people that despise animals. generally it's the sign they're not
as intellectually respectable
as the average field mouse.
mircea_popescu: now - the point here being that a correct set of priorities will in fact move mountains, and my work at my computer
as compared in any perspective to a mouse's activities is mountaineous.
mircea_popescu: good thing to do in prison, you know ?
as it's requiring memory-only, no tools.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, it is shocking, outrageous but also very amusing to see just how copy-pasted the final days us is from the peak of romania. it's almost
as if instead of the romanian idiots copying teh superior us businessmen, the reverse happened.

decimation: the winklevii fund will open sometime around then
as well, which might attract more usd into btc
mircea_popescu: so you know, telling me how strong people who temporarily became poor didn't really give much of a shit in terms of "the rich" is about
as confusing
as discussing pregnancy in terms of "look what people can do". tis not people, tis women and women only that can do it.
mircea_popescu: anyway, orlov misses the major point here. it's not about rich/poor
as a measurable characteristic. some people are strong, some people are weak. whether the weak are temporarily rich or permanently poor makes little difference at all, money's not for them anyway, nor anything else good in life.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron the funniest part of all of this being that all the -otc derpheads that rate you have not actually and colectively traded

decimation: this goes to what those in the us perceive

as long
as the baby's shins"

mircea_popescu: fluffypony decided ah what the fuck, i can't sell this btc for paypal, might
as well dump it on gambling.
ThickAsThieves: "It’s important to know that Bitcoin’s value is too volatile to be worth much today. That’s why most retailers who accept it
as payment immediately sell. This point is from Duke University finance professor Campbell Harvey, who hopes to offer a course in cryptofinance in 2015."
ThickAsThieves: "With so many great reasons to use Bitcoin instead of cash or credit cards, merchants strongly believe that the good far outweighs the evil. Unfortunately, many people that own Bitcoin aren’t using it to complete transactions, but are instead hoarding the cryptocurrency
as an investment.

as 'safe'
mircea_popescu: "Normally a single-engine airplane has to be spun
as part of the certification process. The Cirrus wasn’t. The FAA waived this requirement and accepted the airframe parachute
as an alternate means of compliance. I kid you not, the spin recovery in a Cirrus is based on deploying the chute. That is the only way a pilot can recover from a spin in a Cirrus."
decimation: anyone who thinks of small airplanes

as it gets? << you ever seen my huge copper round ?
decimation: re: zelda << "Some coworkers and I have been exchanging messages that we, up until recently, believed to be private. In these messages, we said some embarrassing things about mutual acquaintances, including comparing one female coworker of ours to Teflon and another pair of upper-level managers
as "Batman and Robin". Unfortunately, these messages weren't private after all; someone posted them onto NSANet! :( Now everyone hates me

jurov: TheNewDeal but pls read after yourself, you're clear
as mud
nubbins`: it was hard to take pictures of me hitting the edges and corners on things,
as i don't yet have a selfie wand
mircea_popescu: maybe
as a temporary measure for small sums, but otherwise, there's no good reason and too much risk.
mircea_popescu: cazalla nobody of any relevance uses weballets
as a matter of course.
mircea_popescu: in a culture composed mostly of monolinguistic, ignorant twerps, such
as the us (or, for that matter, china), it's not even so very hard to do.
mircea_popescu: basically, if you make 500 "separate" literatures, you get 500 people who can all be employed
as dante, the theory goes.
mircea_popescu: that pretense is not good, of course, but nor does that matter : they don';t care if their pretense is good, they just want to hold on something. they similarly don't care if their lottery ticket is good, just
as long
as it's a lottery ticket.
mircea_popescu: this is obviously a lot easier to do, it doesn't take nearly
as much work to find an exploitable weakness in the "world" predicated by some schmoe working for some us publisher
as it takes to find an interesting hole in nature.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know
as a result of the fanfic discussion with kuzetsa it occurs to me : fifty or so years ago, the amateur "thinking man", ie, someone who could read and write and took delight in both, would mostly write (ie, try his amateur hand) science fiction. that is a sort of fanfic to the canon of nature.
kuzetsa: so
as far
as genetic material, the "destined to be you" genetic material already in existance was likely the egg (ovaries start off with all the eggs they'll ever have, and just stay dormant except during a cycle)
