decimation: junseth: " But anyway, if you look at that case, if you look at other cases, I think the pattern is pretty clear that the least restricted systems are the ones that performed best from the point of view of the average user of money. And those were systems that were on gold or silver standards. And there doesn'
t seem to have been any great dissatisfaction with that. There were proposals by some economists to try to have a system that
junseth: trinque: I don'
t know many Bitcoiners who would disagree. I'm just less vehement about that happening. I think Bitcoin is better money.
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.
danielpbarron: i don'
t think the argument posed was that they don'
t work, but that the U.S. hasn'
t had one for the last century
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.
decimation: terms of existence, the idea of the will of the people is a genie or will o' the wisp, that we shouldn'
t really believe in. But for technical reasons, that notion of outcomes being the will of the people, we should be very skeptical about."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what boggles most about those gymnastics is the fact that somehow the same people don'
t link the dots between "unaffordable health care" and "inflation". isn'
t this strange ?
mircea_popescu: compared to this, i couldn'
t care less what ipads cost.
mircea_popescu: if i go to the tailor and i tell him i want pants that are nine feet long, he doesn'
t get to tell me pant length is not a fair metric.
junseth: I actually don'
t, believe it or not. I've been doing bitcoin since like 2008 ;P and I have never bothered to give a hoot about making sure I have a provable identity.
junseth: Haha. Well, I wouldn'
t say I have heard of Bitcoin assets so much as stumbled on ya'lls stuff from time to time.
junseth: You guys are great. Don'
t read it everyday, but I enjoy stumbling on the Bitcoin-assets stuff from time to time.
mats: making the stuff and smoking it wasn'
t my idea
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> they want the latex, which means that pod won'
t produce. << Depends on whose definition of "legit" production. Pharma usually takes straw for processing.
mircea_popescu: they want the latex, which means that pod won'
t produce.
mircea_popescu: speaking of skin cancer : did you know that mohs for melanoma works or doesn'

nubbins`: in the guy's defense he didn'

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Isn'

nubbins`: breaking: erik voorhees falsely claims to have created things that he didn'
t ben_vulpes: i don'
t like it, it's just the ad-hoc thing that works today
trinque: all I'm saying is use tools that don'
t slow down the work, and have merge nazis using shame and dishonor at the center
trinque: mircea_popescu: damn, yeah I don'
t drive american cars
nubbins`: <+trinque> if you can'
t rely on the discipline of the people involved you're already fucked <<< by this metric, /we have been fucked from day one/
trinque: running diff and patch by hand isn'
t going to fix it
trinque: if you can'
t rely on the discipline of the people involved you're already fucked
assbot: Logged on 03-04-2015 13:37:28; nubbins`: but he fears others will think it sucks, or worse, that his taste is so poor that it *does* suck and he just doesn'
t see it
ben_vulpes: the shitty thing doesn'
t even compile yet
nubbins`: i haven'
t verified that you necessarily need to apply the dns snip patch for it to compile on gentoo
assbot: Logged on 15-11-2014 00:34:02; asciilifeform: but i will not be signing any patch that i can'
t apply with my mind, in my mental model of the code.
nubbins`: build script doesn'
t copy any of the openssl includes or libs to the ourlibs/ directory
mircea_popescu: and then he wrote it all breathlessly and didn'
t bother to proofread before submitting.
mircea_popescu: there must be some eeprom in the bios that i don'
t know about.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu whoa i didn'
t read that far.
mircea_popescu:
t clue you will need to posses and have all 10 coins in the same physical location. The clues in the coins were crafted in a fashion that you will never find them let alone figure them out via photographs, with x-rays, or in any fashion other than having all the coins in the same location at the same time to solve the puzzle."
nubbins`: asciilifeform i don'
t think he can produce a good story -- that much is obvious -- but it'd be nice for him to condense his stupidity into a single volume that could be burned
nubbins`: didn'
t realize the ml does it for me
mircea_popescu: because a) even if the cd somehow failed it shouldnb'
t fail like this
mircea_popescu: i have nfi why these people keep offering offers they can'
t actually offer.
mircea_popescu: can'
t find the boot device AFTER BOOTING FROM IT ? srsly ?
jurov: wasn'
t it april fools cd?
cazalla: nothing gets me more riled up than a stupid bitch who doesn'
t match colours.. autism rages
nubbins`: mod6 this isn'
t for consumption
nubbins`: modifies auto.sh to copy the openssl libs to ourlibs, adds boost:: to the errant uint32_t instances
trinque: ah three joins isn'
t that bad
mike_c: search.b-a issues a known problem? doesn'
t seem to have indexed the last few days
mircea_popescu: the point asciilifeform doesn'
t appreciate here is that i'd much rather spend 10k to sue forbes over a missatributed story than spend 10k to buy "clicks" on facebook or w/e.
mircea_popescu: they don'
t as much as have a fucking legal address on the site, anything.
mircea_popescu: but hey, the us is solving its homeless population, and the un doesn'
t even seem to notice or anything.

t want to sell, don'
t sell.
mircea_popescu: they didn'
t, yoiu know, take employment with the govt.
jurov: aha. and why it's so important that putin "didn'
t write", but just takes as he seems fit without elaborating on paper?
assbot: Logged on 03-04-2015 13:48:47; mircea_popescu: jurov the idea being that putin didn'
t write himself a piece of paper saying "hey if i don'
t like you it's ok to take your stuff". or if he wrote, he didn'
t sign. or if he signed, he didn'
t publish. etc.
nubbins`: why these random couple of instances don'
t have boost:: is beyond me
nubbins`: incidentally, there ARE other declarations of uint32_t in those files
nubbins`: unless there's a pressing need to use non-boost types, it's prob fine to just explicitly use the boost ones. not like the libs aren'
t being included anyway
mircea_popescu: what's to know, even. and don'
t give me the ny longshoreman's union line.
nubbins`: anyway, i actually went into cstdint.hpp and replaced a few uint32_t instances with boost::uint32_t
nubbins`: sure, i mean i don'
t think it's putting itself together properly
mircea_popescu: the imf didn'
t give them money so as not to get it back.
