There just has been no action for
the last 18ish hours.
artifexd: I come back from Ecuador and realize
that
they just banned bitcoin entirely because
they're going
to make
their own cryptocurrency. I guess my wife was right all along when she said Correa was a dumb ass.

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> which isn't
THAT expensive
to do, but it does require a puppet-master sysadmin
type
to start it all << OMG Bob Beck has a path
to redemtion if he
takes it
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many of
these fucktarded kids realise
that a) domestic animals could "learn"
the bullshit
they've "learned" and b)
that automatically means it ain't fucking worth bothering with.
mircea_popescu: just...
the ability of being actually useful is a lot rarer
than
the ability
to down a special interest studies read list and
then derp around in circles.
mircea_popescu: ironically, for all
the bitching, wailing and
thrashing of insignificant subhumans on reddits and forums,
there is A
TON of free space right at
the
top, and for years i've just been waiting for people
to come and claim
their spot.
mircea_popescu: which isn't
THAT expensive
to do, but it does require a puppet-master sysadmin
type
to start it all
mircea_popescu: problem is, someone needs
to put first
tier resolver servers online.
fluffypony: they definitely won't be
the ones
to do it,
though :-P
mircea_popescu: fluffypony
that idiocy aside, an actual namecoin
that actually worked well'd be a pretty good
thing.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the monthly delving in
the
trials and
tribulations of
the reality-is-people folk has been most rewarding.
BingoBoingo: Now it
takes longer
to name a bridge
than build it
mircea_popescu: turns out it cost like 20mn
to build back a century ago.
assbot: Stan Musial Veterans Memorial Bridge - Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, connecting Hawaiian or Aleutian island with Bridges, i.e. places
that don't need bridges
xmj: especially
the ones across belts, and stuff
mircea_popescu: if someone made a sterling silver lifesized replica of
the golden gate, it'd still not be 3bn.
BingoBoingo: Generally
those aren't places
that need bridges
BingoBoingo: There's probably a few places in
the world where a bridge might cost 3 billion honestly, but...
mircea_popescu: mobsters don't pay retail, let alone golden
toilet prices.
mircea_popescu: it only costs 3bn if a particular
type of sucker (us govt) is buying it.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo he failks
to comprehend
that
the bridge in question does not in fact cost 3bn
assbot: "The
Tyranny of Structurelessness" and Why Decentralization Isn't All It's Cracked Up
to Bean essay. : Buttcoin
BingoBoingo: "I can see
this working for a limited amount of
time, in small communities. But who is going
to build a $3 Billion bridge and regulate
the quality of
the engineering? Donations? What will keep greedy companies from paying desperate workers $2/hour, which is what is happening right now in countries with less regulation." Ferries are still a
thing
mircea_popescu: i ran a
town, it was a pleasure
to live in. for everyone except
the buttcoiners, of course (the dumbass kids
that go for postdocs in
the us didn't exist) and
the feminists (the dumbass womenz also didn't exist).
assbot: PureApeshit comments on I honestly don't care about many laws put around Bitcoin.
The funny
thing is I'm your average American next door neighbor.
BingoBoingo: Right now a big piece of spam when I listen
to
the radio is "Own your own oil well" commercials
targeting accredited investors.
assbot: My favorite
thing about buttcoiners : Buttcoin
assbot: Edgar
the Exploiter - YouTube
BingoBoingo: It's related
to a sort of spamvestment scheme
traditionally oriented
towards
targeting doctors.
BingoBoingo: That
they pray for mysterious outside benefactors
to bless
them with value
BingoBoingo: Altcoin as usual is
the perfect contrast because dev costs are already sunk and minimal. Instead what ATC has are long
term commitments
to buy it.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it'd logically be
the 5k it originaly got. anything it gets past 5k past
the 5k would be outside interest.
BingoBoingo: Anything Eth gets beyond
the initial 5 kilo BTC might be outside interest
BingoBoingo: At least Ripple had
the courtesy
to give away
their fail
tokens at
the start. Basically
the Ether
terms are
then can funnel up
to 5kilo BTC back into "development" with
the net effect
they can Burn 5000 btc in
this sale and relaim
them later as "expenses"
mircea_popescu: derp : "omfg
they got 5k btc
this is so important". older generation derp : "ripple claimed
the same
thing, a year later
they have nothing
to show for it"
mircea_popescu: "Somehow I managed
to partially recover from my Ripple loss, I don't
think I will invest in anything else but bitcoin in
the future."

Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: lol
that day when romanian newspapers actually buy google adwords exposure on your name.
BingoBoingo: Indeed rather large as well. Getting enough
that size for a strand would be one of (expensive, a pain in
the ass)
BingoBoingo: They ship here pretty well from clean waters. Helps
that oysters are rather robust for shellfish.
fluffypony: we have
the Knysna Oyster Festival every year around
the corner from us
mircea_popescu: but it's by far
the most sensitive
to pollution/freshness food
there is
BingoBoingo: Well, if I settled next
to
the sea I figured I'd call myself vegetarian and eat hundreds of oysters a day for
the
trollz
mircea_popescu: hm, now
that'd be a character : a gaudy hipster
that identifies as vegan and chains oysters
BingoBoingo: Being as far as
they are from anything else
that might vaguely be considered an animal
BingoBoingo: Anyone can imagine
they've done anything if
they smash
their head into a cinder block until
they have
the cognitive funtion of an oyster
BingoBoingo: It isn't amazing
that he accomplished something. It is amazing he
took such a fail path
to do so for so long.
