there's no funds in bureaucrat hands ?
thickasthieves: who actually wants
these smart contracts anyway? i dont get who ethereum is providing for
mircea_popescu: Pierre_Rochard
too many people want
to appear mp without putting in
the work
to actually be mp, nor fronting
the risk etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hardly an argument pro carnegie melon,
that.
BingoBoingo: Pierre_Rochard: Even
though by simply
the way
things are
they seems
to like BFL be actually selling equity rather
than product.
Pierre_Rochard: wonder if
they’ll respond like mircea_popescu did when
the SEC comes knocking…
Pierre_Rochard: BingoBoingo: my favorite part “This document is not a solicitation for investment and does not pertain in any way
to an offering of securities in any jurisdiction.”
BingoBoingo: "People interested in acquiring ether
to build and distribute decentralized applications, or
to pay for
their usage, are able
to do so in
the Genesis Sale using bitcoin,
thereby locking-in
their supply at a known price.
This sale will help us fund
the continued development of
the software platform, scheduled for release in
the winter of 2014/2015." << Preorder on a BFL window.
Thing could waterialize winter 2014 or winter 2015

the notes are ignored no further action will be
taken." doh.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well in
that article space isn't important, because aliens go
to hell
mircea_popescu: but
this entire "doge got killed for beign stupid so we're going
to do it once again because we really are
that dumb"
thing...
thickasthieves: "Another benefit
to
Tacocoin is its active community.
Tacocoin was started on reddit, with
the sole intent of having fun.
The coin has no premine, and steady growth, because our community values
trust and fun, not getting rich quick."
mircea_popescu: i gloat over fat fucks being predictably stupid, not over
the deck being stacked against
them.
mircea_popescu: anyway, what specific gloating is
this in reference
to ?
gribble: You rated user gmaxwell on Sun Apr 8 12:54:19 2012, with a rating of -10, and supplied
these additional notes: hypocritical idiot..
mircea_popescu: the notion
that
the current crop has any sort of moral or ethical weight is quite perilous.
mircea_popescu: A Black Hat spokeswoman
told Reuters
that
the
talk had been canceled at
the request of lawyers for Carnegie-Mellon University, where
the speakers work as researchers. <<<
this is why scientists of
today are in no sense
the scientists of 1914, and even less
the scientists of 1814.

the browser, which leads
to significant speed improvements and an improved user experience for applications built with Bitcore. << Shit's prolly being optimized out
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Well,
that's why
the most important part of reading a WoT is asking a rater about
their ratings

danielpbarron: good
thing
the devs have
their chat rooms

BingoBoingo: Mircea generally writes on
the interwebs so you can always zoom his
text

mike_c: hm. "suprising"
to whom?
jurov: <gmaxwell> danielpbarron: owner of mpex is unsafe
to do business with, he does
things like put surprising
terms in
the fine print of his contracts and

that I get more rain
than seattle
BingoBoingo: thickasthieves: I
think clouds are
temporary except up in Benkay land
Mats_cd03: i don't know anything about physics or solar panels. is
there some kind of limited power generation even under cloud cover? UV is what made me consider
this
thickasthieves: “I
think in
the state of Florida our challenge is
the amount of rainfall and
the amount of cloud coverage we have,” says Martinez. “Obviously Florida has good potential. It’s not great potential.”
thickasthieves: “We’re not doing as bad as people
think we are,” says Martinez. “But I
think we’ll have an opportunity
to advance as
the price continues
to come down.”
thickasthieves: Florida Power and Light powers
the state using mostly natural gas. Out of all
the energy FPL provides, only 0.06 percent comes from solar energy.

to apply fixes for buggy hardware because its in a VM, and VMM emulation of
