mircea_popescu: i suspek a noob is you. they're too deep
as it is, seawater is corrosive and in any case a girl goop solvent.
mircea_popescu: this is fine, inasmuch

ryguy_`:
as a kid i thought being a 'statesman' was a respectable thing
BingoBoingo: Oh I don't regret my lack of "mining," I regret thinking food
as so valuable and not buying in grotesque quantity.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin difficulty august 2012 was... about hte same
as atc difficulty august 2014.
mircea_popescu: RagnarDanneskjol: be moar vigilant with teh monies << the problem with that article,
as with all "studies" of its ilk, is that it makes the (generally reasonable, now not) herbi mistake,
as detailed here :
http://trilema.com/2014/no-argument/ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah i realised
as i was typing that the connection is actually not
as close
as i'd have liked.
mircea_popescu:
As the protests in Ferguson, Missouri over police fatally shooting 19-year-old Mike Brown have raged through the past several nights, more than a few people have noticed how relatively quiet Facebook news feeds have been on the matter. While #Ferguson is a trending hashtag, Zeynep Tufekci pointed out at Medium that news about the violence was,
as best, slow to percolate through her own feed, despite people posting libe
mircea_popescu: curtis yarvin a footnote of meaninglessness in a larger discussion,
as every fucking time.
mircea_popescu: doesn't say anything useful. to fish water is
as unremarkable
as air to you.
decimation:
as ascii's quote of Mr. Yarvin points out, one would then make themselves a slave to Neptune, who isn't a forgiving master
ben_vulpes: i attended a particular hs (OES, for the lurkers), and rode the bus home instead of driving
as I got more reading time out of the experience.
decimation: it is indoors, (b) there is not quite
as much fire, and (c) there is less saluting, more screaming, and about the same amount of chanting."
mircea_popescu: maybe not
as clean ultimately but certainly cleaner per unit effort.
mircea_popescu: decimation it's a curse hiding a blessing : in learning english
as the pronounceable pigdin of computer symbols, one learns to disrespect the social conventions the language carries otherwise.
mircea_popescu: in this spirit : my old z80 clone had an english "codeword" instruction set printed out right on the kbd,
as was fashionable at the time.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: but for desktop machining - perfect. so long
as you aren't in a hurry. << well no, see, electricity is still sold by the watt. whether you're in a hurry or not, you still need same wattage, so still are beholden to the same (rather high) cost. so i suppose "so long
as you're making something small enough for your fun doing it to be worth the 0.001 cent to 1/4 dollar price transition"
mircea_popescu: "look how right we are, and how relevant to the future and general affairs
as a going concern : even this bitcoin thing is about something we discuss."
decimation: this is roughly the deal most "managers of stuff" find themselves in: we will pretend you are a normal human
as long
as you give us stuff
decimation: nevertheless,
as mircea_popescu points out, business is about growth, and growth is about knowing how to manage stuff
decimation: it's obvious that there's a segment of silicon valley circus that sees bitcoin
as a way to exit from usg
mircea_popescu: to put it in the terms of the anonimity
as urban/rural dispute article : the rural guy can run software without ever needing a garbage collector, because no program ever covers memory.
mircea_popescu: (
as to the other point, the orbital spybots are a crapshot. earth based antenna is obv the right approach to the problem)
mircea_popescu: the hayseeds imagine the urban despisement of their simpletonism is the same
as the utopian hatred of their self sufficiency.
mircea_popescu: obviously a car without an engine will continue to be a car without an engine for
as long
as hills and people willing to push can be found.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: eventual goal, for the state, is an endgame where you can't grow your own potato in secret any more than you can produce your own 14nm cpu. << eventual endgame, for the utopian socialist/nazist state,
as for any utopian/figment of imagination, is human relevancy.
decimation: said Lt. Col. Tom Crosson, a Pentagon spokesman. ?We respect the freedom of all nations,
as reflected in international law, to operate military vessels beyond the territorial seas of other nations.?
mircea_popescu: handwaved
as "well if there's too many subs to track then that says all we wanted to know anyway rite ?"
mircea_popescu: there's nothing to do submerged anyway. the only real reason to move is abvout the same
as getting new ips, ie, avoid the enemy.
decimation: note that if you want go at any reasonable speed you must be on the surface,
as ascii said
mircea_popescu: "yes you may gather together to overthrow the state, just
as long
as you get an approval form stamped by said state"

fluffypony: [2014-08-17T17:03:50+0200] <usagi> Fluffypony are you aware that I have actually been offered business
as a result of you targeting me?
mircea_popescu: part of the problem is that the guy run his affairs cca 2012
as if they were fantasy baseball. buncha names/identities with no substantial business existence or raison d'etre, making the thing difficult to remember or sanely structure historically.
TheNewDeal: "In the event of a full pirate default, NYAN.C will loose out, and CPA holds NYAN which holds NYAN.C. Then we have contracts on the outside
as well. All in all CPA will remain very solvent, it may lose 20% of it's value in a full default. But we stands just
as ready to gain 20% if pirate doesn't default." - it will remain very solvent

assbot: Michael Brown shooting: Amnesty International sends team within US for first time
as National Guard deployed - Americas - World - The Independent
X-Rob:
as a lot of them just leave the defaults. Which is fine for a slow, scrypt, pool. But terrible when you point TH of SHA at it.
X-Rob: Apocalyptic: I normally work on ;;genrate + 10%, and I justify the +10%
as 'I know what the fuck I'm doing, and you're going to get that hashrate pointed wherever you want it'
Apocalyptic: that's a different story,
as you're not the only one bearing the cost
pete_dushenski: and it's herbicide resistance
as well
as larger output, drought resistance
pete_dushenski: cazalla: pete_dushenski, "Yes, dear People Of The World, you belong to your family, your faith, and your traditions, not your ?nation.? Where else does this exist than perhaps countries such
as Japan? Families have been destroyed, faith abandoned, very little tradition left. What's left but nationalism? (I started to fall into this trap). << that's sorta teh point of their nefarious exercise. what's left is your own
StephanLivera: given bitcoin's position

as it is to spend regular, fiat money.”"
mircea_popescu: you're not the master of the fucking world on other people's money. suppose you were a plumber and i hired you to build me a toilet on the ceiling. after you explained to me this design i have is idiotic,
as long
as i'm paying you;d better build it.
RagnarDanneskjol: I have a moral dilemna. This company in China wants to retain me to hire them a team of devs to build them a chinese version of ripple. They have an enormous budget and the account would be a boon for my business. Of course ripple is junk

http://trilema.com/2013/ripple-the-definitive-discussion/. I've tried to reason and communicate this to them (i am wor
