mircea_popescu: on one hand, you have
the fed fuckwits pumping money so as
to protect "the economy". at
the other end,
the economy is
this fuckwit. meanwhile argentina has
to beat
them over
the head with a club,
mircea_popescu: how did he got off
the set of "dude, where's my car" anyway ?
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski
that ycombinator dude is beyond fucking stupid.
Namworld: Not so for
those who had large amounts and expected
to keep
them
that long, but eh
Namworld: Then MtGox's failure, even if
they lose 90% of
their BTC, will be a blessing because of
the 10%
they will not have been able
to sell?
Namworld: I check it out every month or
two, what's happening
there.
Namworld: [16:22] <+Namworld> I'm surprised
they'd make
they effort
to attempt it, would have imagined a straight liquidation of assets for distribution in fiat.
Namworld: [16:21] <+Namworld> What... Japanese
trustee for MtGox's bankruptcy will look into if it is possible
to do distribution in bitcoins?
Namworld: Well it's nice
to see court proceedings. It sure ain't a fast process
tho.
Namworld: Haha, filling of claims moved from novmeber 2014
to may 2015, and investigation of claims moved from February
to September 2015.

mircea_popescu: well
this was like.. geography. who
the fuck cares, buy a reference book.
mircea_popescu: i remember running into
teachers in
town and
them going "you know i've not seen you
this year"
Namworld: I remember high-school
too. I remember also how people I never saw recognized me.
assbot: SRSSucks - where we mock
the actual ridiculous shit reddit says
mircea_popescu: i guess
that may be,
the brits ended up with a shitton of spinsters once
they
tried
to be both sane and puritanically monogamous.
ben_vulpes: this is life under
the monogamous regime. one for one and all shall have one
mircea_popescu: first, you allow all
the failures in
the pool.
then,
they figure
they should count for something,
they're
there after all, no ? and next, since being a failure is easier, how about make it mandatory! and
then have a vote about how
things should be, with a million fucking failures everywhere.
mircea_popescu: everyone figures himself
the fucking president or something now.
mircea_popescu: fucking whiners. what happened
to being
thankful for
the scrap he got!
ben_vulpes: OlegDB is a database
that meets
the bottom line head-on. It operates under a startling new enterprise-ready paradigm which we call MAYO: Marginally available Yolk and Oil database.
ben_vulpes: that markov chain is a reference
to "horse ebooks", and is either a markov chain or one of
the hackers in question
Namworld: I'm surprised
they'd make
they effort
to attempt it, would have imagined a straight liquidation of assets for distribution in fiat.
Namworld: What... Japanese
trustee for MtGox's bankruptcy will look into if it is possible
to do distribution in bitcoins?
mircea_popescu: ziggamon: I mean religious in quotes. as in something
that is within
the realm of belief. you must
trust
the invisible hand
that powers
the consensus mechanism. << never
trust a "mechanism". if you have
to
trust, pick someone
to
trust and
trust
them.

mircea_popescu: schneier regularly says
the booboo, which is what makes him such a fucking shitface.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes
the ethical expectation of mastery is
that it may never say fundamentally wrong
things. it may adapt fundamentally correct
things
to any audience, but it never say
teh booboo.
ben_vulpes: which isn't really
that bad an opsec notion.
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves: follow-up
thought on "cats don't love". Do babies love? << no.
this is well studied, first
they consume,
then
they deject,
then
they love.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's a scratch on
the surface,
the intuitions i suspect largely correct, but one could really go into a lot more detailed analysis on
the
topic. probably with
the
tools of
the psychiatrist or antropologist.
mircea_popescu: ziggamon: curious about your feedback, been lurking around here and your blogs << i had nfi one could write on
tumblr.
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves: well i'm just contrasting,
two ways
to write a bullshit article << word.
mircea_popescu: no,
they're not "our" credit cards
they're stealing,
they're ~the bank's~. and no, it's not because "vulnerabilities in software". it's because instead of waiting on every word here,
the banks in question pay off
twerps
to pretend.
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves: "Upgrading encryption software might mask communications for al-Qaida
temporarily, but probably not for long, Schneier said. << schneier is such an unmitigated
twerp.
mircea_popescu: punkman: I
thought unplugged laptop on shelf would be safe < you know you can actually calculate
the induced current as a function of speed, field and
the conductors in question.
chetty: An English blogger writing for
the Nomen Global Language Center in Utah was fired for posting about “homophones” last week after his employer said
the word was
too close
to “homosexual” and “homophobe.”

ben_vulpes: <The20YearIRCloud> I hope
that
this
test proves conservation of motion in space wrong << i
think you mean conservation of momentum
ben_vulpes: <kuzetsa> but why are you nesting pipes inside each other? << standing desk on
the cheap
The20YearIRCloud: I hope
that
this
test proves conservation of motion in space wrong and
they can produce drives with
the
thrust possibilities as
they believe are possible
mircea_popescu: if magnetism was a chick,
the only
thing we'd know about her would be
that it interacts with
the cock (ie, electric field)
mircea_popescu: magnetism is by far
the least understood macrophenomenon.
The20YearIRCloud: Which either disproves
the
test or disproves newton's law of motion
thickasthieves: not attributable
to any classical electromagnetic phenomenon,"
the scientists write.
thickasthieves: Most impressively,
the NASA
team specifically built
two Cannae Drives, including one
that was designed
to fail, and instead it worked. As
the scientists write in
their paper abstract: "thrust was observed on both
test articles, even
though one of
the
test articles was designed with
the expectation
that it would not produce
thrust."
That suggests
the drive is "producing a force
that is

ben_vulpes: dast i get a 1.25 ID pipe and
trust it
to fit?
mircea_popescu: ok, no cali is one
thing. no ruler ?! what do you mean by "shop" ?
ben_vulpes: now i have
to find a ruler somewhere in
this shitshow
ben_vulpes: (don't actually need
the other human
these days, but it's still a fun
thing
to do)
ben_vulpes: i've always been
the kind of learner who did best by wandering around
the junkyard asking "what is
this" of someone who knows
than
the kind of guy who comes up with
the universal joint from first principles
mircea_popescu: cut strip of lined paper, put it around
tube, divide by pee.
ben_vulpes: damned
thing has a wide ring around its bottom
though
ben_vulpes: on an entirely different
topic, does anyone have a good hack for measuring
the OD of a
tube?
mircea_popescu: now someone wanted
to see what white meant, days ago. well
this is it.
the ideology of early feudal lords.
mircea_popescu: im not saying
the female pov is illegitimate, merely unfortunate.

chetty: only someone
that didnt spend nine months waddling would see it
that way
mircea_popescu: let her cry her heart out and make a better one next
time, i say.
mircea_popescu: technical solutions for problems
that should never be solved.
mircea_popescu: but
the woman in question wasn't happy with
the idiocy control. so as a result...
the guy wouldn't impregnate her anymore. and here we are.
mircea_popescu: so now here we go :
they had no bc
there, and as an indirect but quite certain consequence,
that cowpoke'd have given any woman as many kids as she could carry.
mircea_popescu: A dusty cowpoke at his side began
to laugh him down [...] But
the stranger drew his gun and fired before he even saw.

ben_vulpes: pardon my ignorance, but what does bc have
to do with infanticide?
mircea_popescu: but hey, it's
the way nature usually hits one over
the head.
they want
to live in a world where men don't kill
their kids, no matter what.
turns out
that can be built, but
the cost is
they can also never be happy.
ben_vulpes: also i'm starting
to suspect
that hormonal birth control makes
teh wimminz ultrasad due
to not knowing
that
they're going
through
the usual hormonal flux. just 'cause
there's no bleeding doesn't mean
that
there are no hormones flopping around.
ben_vulpes: might just be
that
time of
the month who knows
