mircea_popescu: course since g is more or less fixed,
the benefit of going from 2g
to 4g is significantly larger
than
the benefit of going from 4
to 8
ben_vulpes: the
tradeoff is
that
the higher up
the ergodic chain you go,
the more little
things cause your whole stack
to go kaboom.
mircea_popescu: so
there's plenty of very good incentive
to use
the most energetic reaction possible
mircea_popescu: i suppose
the more kinetic mommentum one can put behind
the rocket,
the lower
total energy needed for a successful launch

ben_vulpes: not really a well engineered solution at
the end of
the day.
ben_vulpes: muchly referenced
throughout corante. required reading for anyone interested in rocket fuels.

the Pipeline:
mircea_popescu: "It isn't just amateurs who use hydrogen peroxide in rocketry, and unfortunately some of
the professionals have
to "roll
their own" as well.
The only remaining supplier for rocket-grade peroxide (in
the US at least) has a policy of only selling
to government contractors."

mircea_popescu: A samurai chemist and a plain chemist walk into a bar.
The first says, “Can I have a glass of H2O.”
The second says “Can I have a glass of water
too.”
The first chemist broke down in
tears – his assassination attempt had failed.
kakobrekla: yeah well and im verboten
telling jokes.
mircea_popescu: xanthyos no. derping is doing banal retarded shit. stuff
that would make one go "oh, derp!" if
their brain were functioning
xanthyos: are
trolling and derping
the same
thing?
kakobrekla: ah so we are measuring
traffic now? whats next, installing windows on our servers?
RagnarDanneskjol: that comment was
taken out of context, but I asked him
to not bother coming back

mircea_popescu: PeterL:
The spec says
to generate an address from hashing
the

the address, spend
the coins sent

mircea_popescu: cazalla: it'd be nice
to borg writers from say coinfire <<

mircea_popescu: you could empty
the casing, discard
the compressor and
then bbq INSIDE!! A SMALL CUBE!
nubbins`: wtf am i going
to do with AC here!
nubbins`: all water under
the bridge
these days ;)
mircea_popescu: o look,
the cannucks are
trying
to construct
their own california-vs-jew york dispute! isn't it cute!
nubbins`: ;;google let
the eastern bastards freeze in
the dark
nubbins`: ask an albertan what he
thinks of a quebecer
mircea_popescu: aaanyway : generally you have a point, in a healthy organism i'm with
the organism against
the parasites
mircea_popescu: right, because
they're here on a legitimate business purpose such as
to study o.O
nubbins`: but about
the ponzi
types who don't know when
to cut & run
nubbins`: i'm not
talking about your russians here
mircea_popescu: the russians don't understand how
the world works, i
tell you.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` what, you want
them
to go
to argentina, misinstall ac units and have decontextualized bbq parties so old before
their
time cvasi-jews laugh at
them over obscure internet venues instead, like
those russians ?!
mircea_popescu: bitcoin-assets watch foundation claims usd increasingly used
to scam.
nubbins`: but instead he gets a rolex collection and buys 3 mansions in
the usa
nubbins`: this guy could've just walked away
to wherever and lived happily ever after
nubbins`: what i don't get is
that all
these fucking assholes get rich and
they just BLOW IT ALL on watches and cars and shit

mircea_popescu: in fairness,
the
thing is designed
to be able
to "sleep" with
two women, but a) women doing it in pairs don't
tend
to be as bulky as
these dudes, and moreover... you know.
mircea_popescu: yeah,
that'd
totally explain why
there's
three of
them living
together in bachelor pads.
nubbins`: ask 'em, maybe
they're getting better rates
than you
mircea_popescu: think about it, men in
their 30s partying without womenz.
Adlai: the world forgetting, by
the world forgot
Adlai: sounds like
the most fun
they've had all week
mircea_popescu: so
these
three very excited, rusophone derps moved into
the building, spent all morning banging around
trying
to get a large ac unit installed (eventually welded it across on
the frame, which was
too small for it o.O) and now are playing loud russian pop music while making a bunch of smoke inside a small, 3x4 walled in cubical "balcony" of sorts, under
the pretense of a bbq
mircea_popescu: well basically
the reason anything's an alcohol is because someone
took a hydrogen and pasted an -oh group.
mircea_popescu: then all his derivates make perfect sense, dihydrogen
trioxide = lo-o-ol
mircea_popescu: for
the record,
the only sane name for hydrogen peroxide is lo-ol
mircea_popescu: "But I have
to admit, I'd never
thought much about
the next analog of hydrogen peroxide. Instead of having
two oxygens in
there, why not
three: HOOOH? Indeed, why not?
This is a general principle
that can be extended
to many other similar situations. Instead of being locked in a self-storage unit with
two rabid wolverines, why not
three? Instead of having
two liters of pyridine poured down your
trousers, why not
three?
Adlai: well,
they need
to be remembered so people remember
to do
their own risk diversification, something about eggs and baskets
mircea_popescu: not likely
that gox'll be remembered much in a year or
two.
Adlai: well yes, my cousin did avise me once, "I have one piece of advice for you: don't
tell any jokes."
Adlai can already see
the rebranding
to Pex™
Adlai: why does "empyex" sound like "emptygox"
to me?
mircea_popescu: now
THAT should be an experience in flying, eh mthreat ?
mircea_popescu: and it glides so well
that if you catch an updrift
trying
to land you're gone, and can't make a goround because unpowered.
mircea_popescu: reading up on
the me komet. jesus christ, a peroxide powered rocketplane
that
throws off its landing gear at
takeoff, lands by sliding, unpowered and unsteered.

kakobrekla: t 'bondholders' may seek
to
take legal action against CM's 'shareholders', including yourself,
to seek
to recover
that debt. However, if 'bondholders' accept
the restructure plan proposed below,
that risk might be mitigated.
kakobrekla: CM was described as a "virtual company” by LTC-Global (and accordingly referred
to as such in
the CM Business Plan). However, as a matter of English law, CM may be considered a general partnership. If
that is
the case,
then
the 'shareholders' of CM - which includes yourself - would all be considered partners. As partners,
they would all be jointly and severally liable for CM's debts, including
the 'Bond'. It is
therefore possible
