mats_cd03: interesting
to me, since i know about zero
things re: rsa.

mircea_popescu: that site's so funny, it's been declaring
the world ends
tomorrow so convincingly and for so long by now its only audience are people who actually factually believe
the world ends
tomorrow, each and every day. so
there's
this palpable atmosphere of
mircea_popescu: o which reminds me, did
the doom zerohedge announced as a given manifest in
the fx markets yet ?
bounce: oh yes
ticker

mircea_popescu: they've already won
the war on drugs,
the war on poverty and
the war on
terrorism.
bounce: oh it's not really a surprise, but his is supposedly a PR club, not a policing club. not smart
to get mired in
that swamp.
mircea_popescu: not particularly curious as
to how
that confrontation's gonna end out. seen
too many
tards

to spit up.
mircea_popescu: "fuck you and get used
to making
the laws you can enforce as opposed
to making
the laws your delusions require" ?

thickasthieves: i suppose it's possible for bitcoin
to be worth more
than all
the
transactable equity in
the world <<<
this is actually one of
the largest, most interesting questions in bitcoin finance.
mircea_popescu: this is perhaps going
to be
the one
thing economists of
the future will be
trying
to keep in balance.
mircea_popescu: (hoarded btc) +
traded btc =
traded property + (hoarded property)
mircea_popescu: however, because bitcoin will be hoarded in general and
transacted rarely, it is quite possible for
there
to appear a new macroeconomics equation :
mircea_popescu: superficially, if one
thinks btc is a drop-in replacement for fiat (which it isn't, just like car isn't exactly a drop in replacement for
tricycle) one'd expect
the same
to hold
mircea_popescu: it doesn't have a good answer. on one hand, fiat currency can never meet
the
total asset value, for very well understood reasons.

to
that vaikan
thingy makes me lose 2:1. seems
that giving
the
thing a pass option gives it an unfair advantage.
mircea_popescu: it's one
thing doing news pieces because
that's
the news. but people writing blogs aren't doing newspieces,
they're doing editorial, and
the news burnout is a century old, well known and documented mode of failure for editors.
mircea_popescu: soon enough all
the forced writing kills your spark and
then you're dead.
mircea_popescu: the problem with drinking
the coolaid and starting
to perceive yourself as "of a field" is
that you end up with

mircea_popescu: no argument, but let's not forget
they aren't in
the world.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
these are also not pure categories in nature.
their distinction follows
tradition
mircea_popescu: these aren't distinguishable in
the field.
the nominal distinction follows mood or at best
tradition.
mircea_popescu: which is why business has
the concept of "knew or should have known". cuz it makes exactly no difference whether he "actually" knew.
mircea_popescu: the female ability
to reclassify rape as consensual and consensual as rape and
to negotiate her own presence in
the circumstances of her being does exactly jack shit for any discussion of reality.
assbot: Logged on 25-03-2014 20:41:17; asciilifeform: Officially, all Soviet representatives regard
these parasites with
touching feelings of friendship, but privately
they call
them 'shit-eaters' ('govnoed'). It is difficult
to say where
this expression originated, but it is
truly
the only name
they deserve.
The use of
this word has become so firmly entrenched in Soviet embassies
that it is impossible
to imagine any other name for
these people. A conver
mircea_popescu: half of leningrad died in one night because a bunch of people "weren't really doing" what
they were doing.
mircea_popescu: they weren't really aware what it is
they're doing, right ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
that's such bs. you know how
the soviets worked, right ? all
the scum reporting

bounce: the google
translation contains a
typical english grammar error (it's instead of its). how chinesely interesting.
mircea_popescu: it seems
the exact same sort of entirely broken, pseudoscientific, narcissistic gung-ho idiocy

the only one who is amused by
the strict similarity between
the "o we know how climate works ; listen
to us

the future ; listen ot us
to fix what's broken with bitcoin" of
the BF sponsored muppets ?

the lord doesn't aim
to kill sin, merely as many sinners as can get hands on.

bounce: more of a problem with politics' unhealthy relationship with science-as-convenient-truth
than a problem in science.
though science has its share of problems.
mircea_popescu: if you support policy with your "findings" you ruin your career once
those findings
turn out
to be not
truth, but mere science.
mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, is why it's unwise for people aspiring
to science
to get involved in politics.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski oh,
that's how you say "we fucked up royally and lost any possible shred of crediblity" in government-scientistalese now ? "we have more

the notion of javascript:pop makes me sad.
mircea_popescu: bounce not nearly as hard as a compiler, if you mean a
tight optimizing compiler. otherwise, rms has been writing compilers in a day and a half on emacs.
Apocalyptic: asciilifeform, a shame
the website
thought it would be a good idea
to use javascript popups as links
bounce: no idea how many man-hours or how it compares
to, say, implementing a new compiler for some nicely convoluted language.
mircea_popescu: making it
take off and become what EVERYONE uses is going
to be a lot more work
than
that.
bounce: oh, you can implement a
tcp/ip stack, apparently not
too much work. making it work well, especially
tcp, is going
to be a bit more work
though.
bounce: you'd need a
tcp/ip stack linked
to your program meaning
that as soon as it quits
the box is off
the 'net, but whatever it's configured
to use it'll use.
bounce: "something as hardware nonspecific as possible" meaning
the shittiest and slowest option you can
think of is a bit of a non-argument really.
