those big ships
pete_dushenski: punkman1: so

they do instead of getting laid
chetty: hahaha I been preaching
that one (or similar) for a while, no one wants
to give up finger pointing
mike_c: what's
that math? we have 10 bacteria in us?
pete_dushenski: not
the least of which is because
they outnumber us in our own bodies 10-1
pete_dushenski: if we start with
the blame game. we'll end up pointing
the finger at bacteria.
pete_dushenski: not
that i give
two fucks about
that mess. israel, if anywhere, should be in south america
pete_dushenski: but even
that original property,
that land o' israel, was distributed by fiat: "kick out everyone else, you deserve
this" kind a
thing
pete_dushenski: jooz who fell into debt were freed on
the jubilee year, but not gentiles...
pete_dushenski: agricultural land was returned
to its "rightful" owner every 7 years, making it effectively rented out, with only property in walled cities able
to be permanently
transferred.
pete_dushenski: "undercapitalization" in economies with jubilees allowed
them
to last a century or
ten rather
than
this fizz bang pop nao it's here now it isn't stuff
pete_dushenski: decimation: as happens in societies without stable property rights. If you do
this at all you can expect an immediately higher default premium which would make an economy undercapitalized." <<
pete_dushenski: “It’s possible
that
taking physical pain relievers provides men with more cognitive resources
to express
the pain

ThickAsThieves: yep
the political/emotional/whateverthefuck climate polarization seems
to force any school of
thought
to require worship-like devotion
chetty: everything gets blown up into religion
these days ..global warming, feminazi, PETA
ThickAsThieves: so much hope and so many ideologies are projected onto bitcoin, fantasy and
theory get blurred
punkman1: ThickAsThieves:
they need
the Rake: "Never believe a
thing simply because you want it
to be
true"
chetty: I generally consider it a useful mental exercise
to consider
the possible extremes
ThickAsThieves: someone is saying it's quite religious, and it does feel
that way sometimes
ThickAsThieves: yes i agree bitcoin is a great
tool, but it's hard for people
to resist
the urge
to close
their eyes and blink into a magical future
punkman1: as an individual you may have
the power
to not allow
the state inspector count your pigs before you sell
them
punkman1: it's not bitcoin
that puts
the state out of business. individuals do
that, perhaps empowered by bitcoin in various ways.
chetty: always a good
thing :)
chetty: I
think we are all fumbling a bit, not sure where all of
this leads
ThickAsThieves: it's a
thin line between
the derps claiming
the magic of bitcoin 2.0 and
the magic of bitcoinpolitics 2.0
chetty: he should, but its not a bad start on some of
the ideas
ThickAsThieves: but how many places
to go
that won't impost a state on you?
ThickAsThieves: is it voluntary
to answer
the door if men with guns are knocking?
chetty: ThickAsThieves, it could but
taxes would be voluntary
ThickAsThieves: i'm also unclear as
to why a 'state' (in whatever adapted form) can't exist with bitcoin around
ThickAsThieves: i can rationalize a majority of what he's saying, but it's overconfident
that everything would go exactly as he sees it
ThickAsThieves: able
to pay
them a single penny." can i haz some koolaid
too?
ThickAsThieves: "But as more and more businesses avoid paying more and more
taxes,
there is less money being left for
the government.
That means
that extraction will become increasingly less effective and
therefore allowing even more people
to avoid
taxation on even larger scale.
This cycle would repeat until all government employees will run away
to seek real jobs because
their bosses wouldn’t be
ThickAsThieves: "So if you support
the idea of Bitcoin, you acknowledge
the hazard of entrusting
the entire economy
to
trusted
third parties. You acknowledge
that
the ultimate power must be spread
thin among every single participant and never be entrusted in hands of a few, even if it’s a democratically elected government." Good luck with
that.

punkman1: "Last night my mate asked
to use a USB port
to charge his cigarette, but I was using it
to charge my book.
The future is stupid."
fluffypony: no no no, we're making Words as a Service in
the cloud
punkman1: are you making glutenfree
text-analytics
too?
fluffypony: got
to get someone
to make a Greek wordlist, and wanted
to make sure
the rules we apply
to
the English one could be applied
to Greek as well
fluffypony: but Greek letters in words are individual letters as
they are with English, right?
fluffypony: and you'll have
to excuse my utter ignorance
fluffypony: EsteNuno: same EsteNuno as
the one from BTCT?
mircea_popescu: i suspect it's more in
the line of "well what bad can happen
to me now!"
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> nfi why it should be such a big deal, but it undeniably is. <<

ben_vulpes: but either
the clojure api for s3 or
the java lib underneath it have a bug in
their pre-signed url implementations.
ben_vulpes: i burned days DAYS DAYSSSSSSS

to get pre-signed URLs
to work from java last month before giving up and hard coding AWS credentials into
the deploy scripts
ben_vulpes: now i have
to have a conversation with some people who are really sold on virtualization about how either i'm a retard or
these layers of indirection are not worth
the fucking cost.
ben_vulpes: well nothing, duh.
they have
the stick here.
ben_vulpes: "sorry, you can't log
to a bucket in a different region"
ben_vulpes: it's just SO GREAT
to not actually have
to manage your own hardware! look! we even have a k/v store you can post shit
to!
ben_vulpes: yeah i'm clearly
the retarded one here
