los_pantalones: perhaps i'll merge them as it becomes clearer to me but it seemed like a cheap option to do it this way
los_pantalones: ok well there are very well defined IP ownership clauses in my contract and i just thought this made sense as a starting point
los_pantalones: yes yes, but when i'm acting on their behalf am i acting as a sovereign entity?
BigBitz: multisig as well.
mircea_popescu: but just as long as there's a clear delineation of risk, and you undertake the risk of ethereum not going anywhere, we can prolly hammer something out
asciilifeform: how cheap people will work for just as long as they're free << this goes back to what people actually need money for
mircea_popescu: it never ceases to amaze me how cheap people will work for just as long as they're free, or in reverse, how fucking insanely much tyranny has to pay its drone worker.
asciilifeform: he started here as 'robwizz22' and changed handles, as he promised to do in the tail end of ninjashogun.txt
wywialm: jurov, http://www.bbc.com/news/events/scotland-decides/poll-tracker as Scotland remains within UK, the bantustan scenario is more unlikely

BingoBoingo: http://bitbet.us/bet/786/bitcoin-to-surpass-berkshire-as-an-investment/
BigBitz: as Bitfinex hit sub 500.
mircea_popescu: you'd need a nonce as large as the keyspace of the hash
MolokoDeck: since the hash is inserted as a comment in the blockchain, I think one might be able to create bogus blocks that have the same has by inserting a salt and mining a single hash here.
MolokoDeck: the block of documents gets cryptosigned with a hash of the documents inside. That hash gets sent to the blockchain. The other validation (initial validation) is of the cryptosignature on each document. The documents have to be legit before they go into the bundle that get's logged and recorded permenently as a hash on the blockchain.

trixisowned: The police are now retreating near the QuickTrip as sounds of gun shots fill the air. I'm not sure what is coming but police are screaming
BingoBoingo: Imma hypothesize that few things introduce people to each other and unite communities as effectively as teargas.
BingoBoingo: ’s quite good enough for me. Fuck the instruments, as great as they are : they’ll make their own, and it’ll be the same anyway, because there’s exactly one way to make a great piece of lab equipment. The alternatives are only there to confound the issues. See, teh BBC got it right after all >D"
BingoBoingo: "Not everyone’s an entrepreneur, either. Some kids, poor kids, “urban” kids are scholars, in nucet. They may not have my rare and expensive equipment, sure. But whether the BBC does manage to agree that climate pseudo-science should be promoted as “the only alternative” or not, my hopes rest with a bunch of inner city negroes. No matter what, these kids will still carry through the world the ability to reason, and that

BingoBoingo: Ah, I'm more familiar with DX'ing as a sport

nubbins` developed for ipad once as well
asciilifeform hates epaper touch screens as a concept

mircea_popescu: (bots don't load the page on the same pass as they fill the comments - they use spiders, like google)
nubbins`: i try to be as non-robotty as possible, but.. shrug
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: the chess example, or its life version with debt, etc. is really a play on 'hilbert's hotel' << so it is. for as long as the theoretical properties of aleph-cardinals hold in real sets, well... why not.

nubbins`: and they just peel em off as they go
mircea_popescu: which you know, in some approaches to politics, such as would for instance be favoured by temporary figureheads elected by a democracy, and supported by an unmovable bureaucracy, is the whole of my job.
thestringpuller: the "mythical" 150 screen press serves as a better motivator ;)
nubbins`: they already need to step up their game if they wanna be as good as us ;D
nubbins`: as i can't fit 150 screens on the press, this is reduced to 4 layers
nubbins`: this image came to me as a psd with, no joke, over 150 layers
mircea_popescu: in honor of nubbins` typing skills, you can now access trilema as trilema.org trilema.net trilema.me trilema.eu or trilema.com at your option.
mircea_popescu: yeah, the whole story works fine for as long as the expansion of debt remains unrestricted.
mircea_popescu: every dollar the usg extracts from anything costs it more than a dollar as a precondition of its continued existence.

mircea_popescu: "LeGuin did tell a 911 call taker that he intended to occupy the Far North Dallas house as a sovereign nation for himself."
mircea_popescu: http://money.cnn.com/magazines/business2/business2_archive/2004/07/01/374834/ << for historical interest. this is how the party records looked back when the usg had few and marginal enemies, a solid grip on power, and people looked at the usgisation of places like intel as a Good Thing.
mircea_popescu: if not, the roman triumvirate works as invention too
mircea_popescu: anything is promised when the matter at hand is extending the life of promise as a thing into the world.
los_pantalones: as they should
mircea_popescu: but suddenly, the large early holdings that all the shitheads-with-a-megaphone were decrying as dangerous to bitcoin
mircea_popescu: they are no major concern for the usg in either case, because man who hangs for a goat might as well hang for a goat and a chick
mircea_popescu: any usg affiliate or more likely, herpy q derp that looks like he may acquire any btc sum through any means will receive all the soft backing possible, from business insder news articles to an invitation to the fucking white house. anything whatsoever as long as it loks natural rather than spammy
ben_vulpes: yeah, i get it i read it, but whence the source? there was the usms sale which is theoretically trickling into the market, and the ether sale which may or may not be trickling into the market. the former, clearly usg. the latter as well?
mircea_popescu: as any successful fiction writer found out in short order.
kakobrekla: as they need to pay for... cpanel.
bats_cd03: http://research.microsoft.com/pubs/69343/aclcoling06-kacmarcik-gamon.pdf , http://www.newrepublic.com/article/114112/anonymouth-linguistic-tool-might-have-helped-jk-rowling , http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2382450 << tl;dr stylometry ('authorship attribution techniques') is easily beaten, as most people would intuit

mircea_popescu: "the chinese triads" aren't a the in this context any more than "the chinese government" is a the. obviously there's going to be some sort of government, such as for instance the one in taiwan.
mircea_popescu: s well as the United States' $51 billion--annually--“War on Drugs.”
mircea_popescu: i'm sure the schmuck is sitting in a bar somewhere right now, all radiant of his greatness as he imagines it.
mircea_popescu: http://mpex.biz/ as well.
kyuupichan: Does anybody maintain a BTC market cap as % of all coin cap? I think it must be near a 2-year high.
mircea_popescu: The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
