ben_vulpes: don'
t worry Adlai, nubbins` filters the true crackpots out
trinque: +nubbins` | "complete model" doesn'
t really make sense << thought I said that
nubbins`: "complete model" doesn'
t really make sense
ben_vulpes: "you can'
t model the universe with anything short of a universe."
ben_vulpes: "ah ah, mister! you can'
t get me that easily! it's models all the way out!"
Adlai: he's in touch with "his reality", by which i mean, the reality of the society in which he operates. that society might be out of touch with realreality, but that doesn'
t require the inside of the bubble to see what's without.
mircea_popescu: this is ridiculous on the face, of course, but hey. if they understood things they wouldn'
t be underclass.
mircea_popescu: "so you mean to tell me now i don'
t get a say into how the world works anymore, because back when i got the benefit of the doubt all i could do was being an idiot on reddit ?" "exactly"
mircea_popescu: "what do you mean, i can'
t own a pet only for the portion where i wanna play with it, but not for the portion where i have to feed it and clean its cage ??!?!" "exactly"
mircea_popescu: this idea that most people "should" get a say in what happens to them... dude, if you do that, the same most people go "hey, i don'
t want to be bothered reading 548958609 pages of tax code, to then go have a hanging party for the govt that made it".
mircea_popescu: "i support america because if i didn'
t, you'd just take it all anyway like putin took X's. I'm no Soros."
mircea_popescu: specifically because math is math, and the thing can'
t even keep up with itself.
mircea_popescu: if you don'
t get 100 senators for every senator you had in 1965, you're behind.
mircea_popescu: if your investmentrs aren'
t yielding 20% WHILE YOUR POLITICAL CLOUT IS YIELDING 20%!!!
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski and amusingly, this is a very indicative symptom of the problem. if "inflation didn'
t exist" and all this created value, people would care as much about 10 bucks now as 50 years ago. hey, it's a lunch.
mircea_popescu: so... yeah k, markets are efficient. anglosphere hasn'
t seen a market in many decades, if indeed it did this century.
pete_dushenski: and now the 'crowdfunding' cap is 50 mn bezzlars because the command economy doesn'
t do nickels and dimes worth a shit
mircea_popescu: ethereum through and through "technologees" you can'
t even short because nobody actually bought. because no actual market, because no actual anything there.
pete_dushenski: the government being a customer but not 'a customer' means that it doesn'
t care about quality in the same way, just quantity
pete_dushenski: if cadbury is willing to throw their biggest market under the bus, smaller markets like canada aren'
t far behind.
pete_dushenski: for those who don'
t know, this is what canadians call a 'donut hole'
mircea_popescu: memory hole effect. somehow while we clearly see how stupid Xi is, it doesn'
t end up taring the whole of X equally.
trinque: mircea_popescu: instructions amount to "don'
t install it" plus eudev not udev
ben_vulpes: nubbins`: how would one go about determining what parts of boost weren'
t needed and then compiling boost without those bits?
nubbins`: but yes, on 32-bit machine this apparently doesn'
t happen. might be workaroundable
nubbins`: i don'
t think bitcoind needs python, i think it's just compiling EVERYTHING in boost
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski amusingly, the "pes sic tendatur ne lodix protereatur" one doesn'
t seem to be known in english
mircea_popescu: (if you think about it, you realise how "doesn'
t build statically" is === "code is not available")
mircea_popescu: and yes that means dns is not implemented. which it isn'
t, whether this kludge is available or not.
ben_vulpes: so the 'static' build i produced on my deb 6 VM wasn'
t *truly* static, but claimed to be even though it dynamically linked into libnss on whatever system on which it ran successfully?
nubbins`: i don'
t know if there's any particular advantage to using an older version of the base os
trinque: I haven'
t been through the handbook in a while
trinque: ben_vulpes: you don'
t end up with systemd unless you ask for it
trinque: er... there aren'
t instructions, just do the !register command
mircea_popescu: im thinking one pound. because you shouldn'
t be able to put away more than that in a weekend.
mircea_popescu: if there isn'
t another heartbleed in there, someone's been slacking on their job.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if you can'
t find cunt in argentina the problem is deeper than the sea.
whaack: ty, I've reached a point in my life where I can'
t stand working for VC money anymore. But I have an issue where I don'
t know of a better way to get bitcoins faster than milk a SF dev valley job and buy them with fiat. I've come for guidance on the issue
chetty: I got as far as having it claim it built a static, but then it really wasn'
t and wouldn'
t run without the libs
mircea_popescu: no but that it can'
t link statically because it's what it is, like dns.
mircea_popescu: "hey, if your program uses video, or the internet, you can'
t make it!"
mircea_popescu: (ie you can'
t tell anyone what to do out of their own aesthetic sense)
mircea_popescu: is apolitical = "i don'
t give a shit about whatever your ideology may be" ?
mircea_popescu: and i don'
t believe the man is anything but 100% honest.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform & wimc : so rms sez he never heard of libnss before, and can'
t even recall what it does.
Chillum: "Do be white..." "Don'
t be black"
nubbins`: he doesn'
t know of anyone else to fund!
PeterL: the mailman, and he is going to stop delivering my mail if I don'
t meet his demands in the next two weeks
PeterL: the box used to be on the house itself, and I moved it to the porch rail so he wouldn'
t have to go up the steps, but apparently that isn'
t good enough, now I gotta go buy a post and dig a hole to stick it in
PeterL: said there was too much ice where it was, but there won'
t be any more ice for another 6 months at least now that everything melted
PeterL: so, my lastest run-in with USG agents: the mailman doesn'
t like where my mailbox is. It is currently on the rail of my porch, he says I must instal a box on a post in my yard
cazalla: can'
t get to binos without risking waking up the kid
fortune501: if fucking a tranny is gonna give you nightmares, don'
t do it
mircea_popescu: it's kind-of incredible (if you look at things rationally - otherwise if you look at things historically it's exactly expected) that two years later they are STILL TRYING to pretend like they don'
t have to come to terms.
BingoBoingo: Their stuff not only fails to wash, it also doesn'
t dry clean. The sort of cheap polyester the solvents melt.
pete_dushenski: "The lesson for all of us in Bitcoin is to never put any trust in a centralized org again that wanted to represent Bitcoin or the Core Development of Bitcoin." << or the lesson is, don'
t fuck with la serenissima ?
cazalla: pete_dushenski, bet it still won'
t work, ready..
pete_dushenski: gravy is some nasty shit. i can'
t stand it with anything.
mircea_popescu: well, something like that. moreover, they aren'
t imaginary. they're actual. purposes are always and necessarily mere delusions.
trinque: right, causes aren'
t arbitrary
mircea_popescu: trinque comes down exactly to the ancient causes and purposes distinction. if people find a way to fly, nobody "deems gravity broken" or hoilds talks on how to patch it "because this wasn'
t the intended result"
trinque: I wasn'
t talking about just human life
assbot: Logged on 04-04-2015 02:21:29; junseth: Haha, well the question is what was the alternative. The alternative before the Fed was not necessarily better. I'm not a fan of central banks. But I think it's disingenuous to say that the central bank hasn'
t done a decent job of "running" the currency. The solution is to solve the problems caused by central banking. I think that's why we're all Bitcoiners.
mircea_popescu: people have to accept their feelings don'
t matter. they always end up doing this, it's just some have to get raped with a spiked club first.
assbot: Logged on 04-04-2015 02:04:31; junseth: RE: the discussion about markets, I generally disagree with the notion that markets don'
t work. I know it's a common mantra. But markets, even decently regulated ones, work pretty well. Regulated markets price in the cost of regulation.
mircea_popescu:
http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-04-2015#1087666 << dude, it's not a discussion that "markets don'
t work". it's a discussion that before markets can work, you gotta have them. similarly, if you don'
t have running water, you have a hygiene problem. this isn'
t because "bathrooms don'
t work", it's because you.do.not.have.one.
assbot: Logged on 31-03-2015 20:23:48; ascii_field: Chillum: barcode reader is simple enough conceptually that it doesn'
t need a cpu.
decimation: asciilifeform: well, self-reconstructing is one thing, but certainly the very 'base' install isn'
t much bigger than a buildroot
junseth: Haha, well a market is a place where individuals come and transact. That's what it means. What does it look like? I mean, it can look like a lot of things. But a marketplace doesn'
t have to look like any one thing.
junseth: I agree backing bitcoin with metal doesn'
t make sense. But there are so many scams that are showing up these days that are taking advantage of the sentiment that a gold/silver backed crypto would be better.
