nubbins`: mircea_popescu: analogous
to "human" vs "humanoid"
assbot: Dumplings (film) - Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia
mircea_popescu: nubbins` so what do you (erroneously)
think it means now ?
nubbins`: i was very nonplussed upon realizing
this
mircea_popescu: trivial or false information
that exists more for being repeated
than for being important
nubbins`: the definition of factoid was in fact a factoid for me
this whole
time
mircea_popescu: <thestringpuller> it's weird how
this issue hasn't been addressed <<
they're called power rangers for a reason you know.
mircea_popescu: <TomServo> Now you had better !up him, in case he should care
to comment. <<, your dry humour has been recorded :D
mircea_popescu: <guevara246>
the rationale being applied
to chargeback and fraud < yes.
nubbins`: today, i find out i've been using
this word incorrectly since childhood
nubbins`: i always
thought
the word "factoid" was a direct analogue of
the phrase "useless
trivia"
hanbot: asciilifeform is windowcat watching you
tinkerbate?
hanbot: ;;later
tell BingoBoingo Is it just me or does hanbot blog with an unstated anger and foreboding
that seldom comes
through in mircea_popescu posts because mircea_popescu need not give a fuck << you sayin' i give
too many fucks? is
that what you're sayin'? like what, like i'm an angry foreboder, here
to amuse you?!
kakobrekla: >Providing you with financials only provides grist for your complaint mill, and gives you more
to moan about. So
that's not a priority.
thestringpuller: it's weird how
this issue hasn't been addressed more in use cases since
there is no way
to really set up a
trust fund of sorts with
time-delayed
transactions without
the risk of
the beneficiary double spending
thestringpuller: ;;later
tell guevara246
this is a problem I was working on. even with a single sig a
timelocked
transaction can be double spent if it another valid
transaction is broadcasted and accepted before
the
timelock expires
the original
transaction becomes expired
TomServo: asciilifeform: Is
that
the cat
that killed
the defective bird?
TomServo: Now you had better !up him, in case he should care
to comment.
guevara246: the rationale being applied
to chargeback and fraud
guevara246: Hey, I have a question regarding P2SH and
timelocked
transactions: in a use case where a client is purchasing a good or service using a 2 of 3 multisig scheme, can a
timelocked
transaction be broadcast
to
the network and invalidated by a second
transaction, signed by
the same agents, sending outputs
to a different address?
mircea_popescu: an' with
that, i'll be off
to meet people and
things. later dear chan!
mircea_popescu: lol. in every remaining competent bureaucrat
there's an intelligent person captive, struggling
to get free.

mircea_popescu: whole place looks like latter day rome on
this account. forum
this, baths
that, bla bla bla.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform architectural style. <<
this is such a lol, because yes
they do it, it's almost as if
trying
to copy own glory moments resulting in cheap
tourist shop replicas. just... why!
chetty: BingoBoingo, omg
that gives me flashbacks when everywhere you looked was frontpage generated stuffs ....:(
BlueMeanie4: spent a week wandering
the polish countryside, interesting experience
BlueMeanie4: yes clearly
these old modes of civilization in
the us are decomposing fast
BingoBoingo: It's just odd driving
through a suburban residential neighborhood and passing
the squat dentist looking office park and seeing a Northrop Grumman sign
BlueMeanie4: would you rather have one of
those ultra-modern offices complete with ping pong
table and espresso machine
to ensure you spend every waking hour
there?
chetty: I once worked in an office where one of
the guys painted windows on
the walls ...
BingoBoingo: BlueMeanie4:
The portion of Illinois well spaced away from Chiraq
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
The dominant form here are vaguely labeled or unlabeled office parks for businesses whose customers rarely visit
BingoBoingo: <BlueMeanie4> plus you can pretend you dont understand
their insults <<
This is
the benefit of having at least vulgar familiarity in a 3rd language
BlueMeanie4: 1-3 floors so
they dont have
to have an elevator
Apocalyptic: <BingoBoingo> Apocalyptic:
This is why I use booze
to keep my brain supple // how well does
that work ?
BlueMeanie4: plus you can pretend you dont understand
their insults
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> any folks here living in u.s. colonies (read: nato) are welcome
to comment re: whether such brutalist monstrosities blot your landscape as well. << Scattered
throughout
the
towns on
the West side of Scott Airforce base in
the Metro east are low rise versions of
this
BingoBoingo: Apocalyptic:
This is why I use booze
to keep my brain supple
Apocalyptic: ascii, it is, but from a certain age it becomes exponentially difficult
to master ir
BlueMeanie4: ya
the way he uses english is just brilliant
chetty: good news is he doesn't write in Romanian anymore, all English
these days
BlueMeanie4: i guess ill
try
to be more concise. Mirceau's blog makes me want
to learn Romanian.
BlueMeanie4: hey if
the mod is going
to silence me for no voiced reason mid conversation- why bother?
☟︎ Apocalyptic: BlueMeanie4, why do you say
that ? it is, as long as you have something interesting
to say people will !up you
Apocalyptic: I'm amazed at
the
trust people put into PoS, but
then again after seeing
the investment section of bitcointalk it isn't
that surprising
BlueMeanie4: obviously
this isnt
the place for a friendly chat- you can PM me if you want
Apocalyptic: if so it's inherently insecure yeah, mainly because you can "mine" at any point in
the chain,without committing ressources
Apocalyptic: <BlueMeanie4> NXT isnt secure // is NXT
the PoS
thing ?
BlueMeanie4: its a complex subject, we explored all
this stuff during
the color coins discussions
danielpbarron: why do you
think piggybacking
the blockchain is doomed? do you mean
the devs will nix it?
BlueMeanie4: also some of
their metaphors for finance are irregular, weird, and possibly broken
BlueMeanie4: generally warm
to it, but i
think piggybacking
the block chain is ultimately doomed
BlueMeanie4: we were looking at way
to automate rating and a format
to index securities and such
BlueMeanie4: not sure if
these
things are particularly associated with
this channel...
BlueMeanie4: so it looks like Mircea has
the vision, just doesnt have
the
technology developed
BlueMeanie4: so I wanted
to introduce
them in a package called 'Virtual Corporations' which were a crypto way of having
trustees over accounts and few other features
BlueMeanie4: this is precisely
the issue
they were having at NXT. People issuing ponzi assets, in particular jl777
assbot: How does one list on MPEx ? pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
BlueMeanie4: NXT isnt secure-
theyre addressing some important ideas
that have been floating around for a while- but not doing it securely or faithfully
BlueMeanie4: haha were you around when all
that crap happened?
