nubbins`: no precision or nuance, sure, but what use would
the idiot have for such
things?
nubbins`: lion bares fangs, you know enough
to fuck off
BingoBoingo: To sodomize Wittgenstein If a lion could speak would you understand it, how
then could idiots understand each other
nubbins`: “Most people are other people.
Their
thoughts are someone else's opinions,
their lives a mimicry,
their passions a quotation.”
nubbins`: ;;google sometimes i don't understand
the world i live in or what goes on in it
nubbins`: then said "hey mp's
tank seems ok"
nubbins`: she was in
the kitten
tank first
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> analogies: sometimes
they don't stretch ;( << and sometimes,
they stretch
the wife.
nubbins`: oh and
the other
tank had kittens or something
nubbins`: analogies: sometimes
they don't stretch ;(
BingoBoingo: Incel Brazlovik probably lead a pogrom back in
the day
nubbins`: suppose
two people with
tanks show up and 44% of my wife decide
to go with you but 41% of my wife decide
to go with
the other
tank, while
the remaining 15% goes with various other individuals carrying small arms
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: And we come
to yet another problem of Pidgins, every word seems
to look like people's names
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you know i can't see
that and not
think chirac
BingoBoingo: Still North St Louis county is going
to have less shooting deaths
this weekend
than Chiraq
mircea_popescu: no, but if i come with a
tank into your house, i seized
the wife
nubbins`: if i mail you a
t-shirt, you haven't seized my clothing
nubbins`: that's redefining
the word seized
mircea_popescu: if
the ira ever got elected
to be kings of ireland, it'd still have been "ira seized power in ireland"
BingoBoingo: <nubbins`> it's a bit saucy
to say anyone "siezed control" after being voted into power in an internationally-monitored election << Shhh don't let Obama read
the lawgs his election wasn't internationally monitored
nubbins`: it's a bit saucy
to say anyone "siezed control" after being voted into power in an internationally-monitored election
BingoBoingo: The problem with Pidgins is when you leave
them all you have is nonsense a la US - Levant news
ascii_at_beach: 'good news' -
the u.s. police will be disarmed; 'bad news' - by u.s. brownshirt corps.
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: Because
they are afraid
to say Obama did
they same
thing when he won an election
too
nubbins`: why does western media keep
talking about how hamas "siezed power" or "took over" gaza in 2006?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Oh, I'm
thinking
the
two pieces are connected
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo re
the other item : actually disarming
the us police may be a good idea.
nubbins`: idiots don't
think
they're frauds
nubbins`: i always
thought it was just smart people who suffered from
this syndrome
mircea_popescu: yeah dude,
that's
the problem with usians,
that
they don't internalize
their accomplishments
nubbins`: from ferguson
to greece, fuck
the police
assbot: Michael Brown: Unarmed black
teenager shot in Ferguson, a St. Louis suburb.
BingoBoingo: Semicolons are an evil
tool of
that larger evil
BingoBoingo: Evil always finds a way, so one must adopt
the most effective evil.
BingoBoingo: Yezedis are no more devil worshippers
than
the Haitians. If
they worshipped
the right devil as I do ISIS wouldn't be such a
threat
to
them.
assbot: Reagan and
the Great Man in history — Crooked
Timber
assbot: ClubOrlov: Obama risks American lives
to save
the devil worshipers
BingoBoingo: Or you find yourself in
the Brotherhood of steel cult bunker
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Until
the Water Chip breaks
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Right, Which is why you don't laze about in
the Vault, but become
the Van Graffs
ascii_at_beach: it's like rsa. you can communicate it
to an educated person in five minutes.
ascii_at_beach: likewise 'index card plus btcd' is a more compact, and
therefore intimately -understandable- system
than a software package in
the usual sense
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you know what happened
to valut people in
the intro
to fallout 2 ya ?
BingoBoingo: <ascii_at_beach> well it can still burn, if sufficiently apocalyptic war where
the blockchain is nuked and 'damnatio memoriae' << Who here isn't a big enough "Fallout" fan
they don't plan
to have a scale valut replica at BTC pricepoint X
ascii_at_beach: mircea_popescu: argument is
that said destruction is considerably higher bar
than an accidental death of a hard disk somewhere
ascii_at_beach: well it can still burn, if sufficiently apocalyptic war where
the blockchain is nuked and 'damnatio memoriae'
mircea_popescu: much in
the same way cunts are better designs
than angels.
mircea_popescu: the library
that can burn and doesn't burn is a better design
than
the library which can not burn
ascii_at_beach does not like
the idea of a 'library of alexandria'
that has a burnable component
ascii_at_beach still favours
the recipe of 'bitcoind 0.6 + no more
than
ten lines of perl' for complete scheme
mircea_popescu: think how
the history of
the world would have looked if
the arab invaders of alexandria
thought "you knw what ? if we burn
the libary
tha will make
the coran unreadable"
mircea_popescu: well, yes.
the
thing about bitcoin is
that while it speaks clearly,
teh various experts have no idea what it says.
mircea_popescu: one of
those
things people don't realise
they can even dream of, like getting home
to a party of naked disney princesses ready
to suvck you off
mircea_popescu: this is a fucking
thing
that archeologists and historians don't even know
they miss it'd be so great if
they had.
mircea_popescu: ascii_at_beach it's more subtle
than
that :
the survival of every document in
the set depends on
the survival of all
the documents in
the set.
ascii_at_beach: vs. yet another server
that can go south - or,
to save from
this, be mirrored and updated synchronously in some organized way
ascii_at_beach likes
the idea of system
that can be brought into being simply by passing around an index card with some simple rules, for all
time
mircea_popescu: let
the matters of who can speak and who can act be separated.
mircea_popescu: ascii_at_beach i'd rather divorce
the barrier
to entry from
the avenue
to power
than centralise
them
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu> <ascii_at_beach> imho anything worth keeping a hash of in blockchain is worth stuffing entirely in << by
the same logic, any woman
that's worth fucking is worth fisting. what, srsly ?! << Y not?
ascii_at_beach: benefit is not only
that you aren't creating yet another db
that can be corrupted or lost, but also specifically
the expense
dignork: ascii_at_beach: I
think it would be a network misuse, writing a law on each banknote sounds interesting
though.
mircea_popescu: <ascii_at_beach> imho anything worth keeping a hash of in blockchain is worth stuffing entirely in << by
the same logic, any woman
that's worth fucking is worth fisting. what, srsly ?!

ascii_at_beach: a 'bitcent' per octet, i dare say, is a perfectly good balance of
things
ascii_at_beach: for selling a planet - entire
thing, with concordance and footnotes
ascii_at_beach: so for a contract for purchase of a pig, sha2 hash
thereof might be all
the
telegraphy expenditure it deserves
ascii_at_beach: or at
the very least, hierarchically increasing cost with Importance
ascii_at_beach: at any rate, for a registry of Important
Things, you want highest cost possible short of making it a null set
ascii_at_beach: more like
the language in which orders are issued
to submarines, over ultralongwave.
ascii_at_beach: imagine what contracts, laws, would read like if every word cost 10k
to record
ascii_at_beach: expensive, for a registry of Important
Things™ is: good
ascii_at_beach: i suggest
this as solution
to mircea_popescu's specs… because! it is expensive. and not despite of
ascii_at_beach: BingoBoingo: It can
tolerate forms of data Bitcoin won't << you can stuff arbitrary octets in
the blockchain. it will simply cost you.
ascii_at_beach: 'alive' also requires, e.g.,
that people would notice right away if it began
to rot in some way
BingoBoingo: Namecoin has some serious hashpower behind it because of merged mining, and It can
tolerate forms of data Bitcoin won't
kakobrekla: nmc is alive in a sense
that is being [merged] mined
ascii_at_beach: NameCoin << sounds like a problem for
the one blockchain
that's actually alive...
nubbins`: i saw
this guy and his mother walking down
the street last week
RagnarDanneskjol: i
think
Telegraphy gets
too complicado with
the blockchain parsing bit.
this is a much simpler proposition
