ThickAsThieves: well shit, now Kate is back the same day
as Deprived...
mircea_popescu: dexX7 yeah. and most people are too naive to be involved with tools
as powerful
as btc.
mircea_popescu: the world isn't structured so
as to make it possible for you to survive.
mircea_popescu:
as in read those two things, do what you're told, take the time to do it well.
ughlol: And I understand that, I've seen many fraudsters
as well.
ughlol: WOT account
as in World of Tanks account? :/
jurov: ughlol:
as soon
as you want bitcoin investment, it *is* one
mircea_popescu: while it's easy to laugh at these particular retards, such
as the parents of every romanian girl i ever fucked, this is a bit like picking fun at the special olympic people.
mircea_popescu: the way it worked was that
as long
as you maintained employment, you got free housing from the govt dept of housing.
mircea_popescu: (which is a very lengthy discussion also found on my blog, but really not too interesting here,
as to why)
Neil: In a parallel universe with no risk you see, I mighta been interested in investing in some of your ventures. Though the terms are clear, it's also the problem,
as a) a 30BTC fine to "play" means there's gotta be something worth playing for, and b) I worry about you getting run over by a bus, for example, because c) it's all really quite opaque and I rate b)
as ~2% annually, which is quite a JTD risk.
bitcoinpete: "Exotic dancers are flocking here from
as far away
as Russia for the same reason
as everyone else - to make their fortune in a place known
as Kuwait on the Prairie."
mircea_popescu: tbh what i perceive is the matter here is that you live in an environment where poor black dudes stare you down
as a daily routine, and i just said "da fuck is this, you stare THEM down mothefucker! they're poor, not you" which created a little disonance
mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> while i'm unlikely in the top 500, i wouldnt want to be known
as such << this is the line that sparked the discussion
mircea_popescu: the exact implementation is left
as an exercise to the reader
mircea_popescu: well it's good enough, i'll use this
as a convenient reference to show that at least one person in zee werld thinks im shy.
mircea_popescu: Neil yeah bitbet got seeded originally, so
as to build this situation it enjoys today where it has a large pool.
ThickAsThieves: he makes no concrete statement
as to what belongs to what
ThickAsThieves: while i'm unlikely in the top 500, i wouldnt want to be known
as such
mircea_popescu: whatever he draws is likely arguable
as a "correct" map of the part of the world
mircea_popescu: just
as long
as you don't make a lifetime out of it i dun see what it can hurt
benkay: industry usually is about
as rewarding
as struggling in
pLambert: non-anal is not the same
as nonan-al :)
pLambert: I think they look for ketones in the blood
as a marker for kidney failure?
ThickAsThieves: anyone have insight
as to what will happen if abnormal amounts of ginger are consumed regularly?
benkay: not exercising is just
as bad
as living on carbs.
blackwhite: Diablo-D3 they are too fat because they eat shit food. They might
as well die of starvation because they sure will die from obesity
blackwhite: So I have a question for all you experts. Imagine a bitcoin like protocol that allow you to embed digital assets or watermark certain digital assets. You could in theory imagine everything from digital pokemon cards to creative commons licenses
as unique "scarce" resources.
mircea_popescu: inconvenient
as it may be, girls aged 16 to 19ish are the country.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves they paid for a wsj piece to explain how bitcoin isn't
as good
as gold.
mircea_popescu: "DirectShow (sometimes abbreviated
as DS or DShow), codename Quartz, is a multimedia framework and API produced by Microsoft for software developers to perform various operations with media files or streams. It is the replacement for Microsoft's earlier Video for Windows technology."
mircea_popescu:
as the sore holes of mtgox, the foundation, etc etc scattered all over the forum neatly attest.
ThickAsThieves: "With millenniums of history behind it
as a hedge against debasement, the key to gold’s success is the stability and predictability of its demand."
ThickAsThieves: they spell out their own doom without realizing it,
as usual
mircea_popescu: KRS1 there's no such thing
as gay dogs. dogs, much like people, will fuck other male dogs if no female dogs are available.
artifexd: However, your point that limiting the maximum length in order to limit the possible collisions is irrelevant
as well because there is already a specific place for you to twiddle that will have the exact result you would want. The nonce/timestamp.
artifexd: Just
as much
as you could claim it is mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: now, inasmuch
as your blockhash is 3, how do you know the actual block (Women are not people.) is what hapepned
mircea_popescu: we'll have to work at this. suppose your hash function is defined
as the first character of the md5.
mircea_popescu: and no, it is not valid to pretend "block size should be set by the market", because of the problem known
as the disaster of commons
mircea_popescu: if there are 10k slots made just
as soon
as there's 10k txns looking for a slot, you'll not see any fees.
Neil: Well I believe the block size will increase. But also with say ~1k txns per 1MB block, I don't see people paying an average fee of 0.0013 BTC. Especially
as I expect BTC to be significantly higher than today.
KRS1: ill have to remember that..but they also have hair on them
as if the hairs are whiskers from a 3 day shaven sailor.
Neil: I viewed it more
as a BTC bet, y'know.
cazalla: litecoin is like the kid who said his $2 shop game of brick is the same
as tetris on a gameboy (bitcoin)
the20year2: The second option will be much better, especially if we successfully start offering seller financing on properties,
as we're trying to do with property #4
mike_c: One of the ironies of the stock market is the emphasis on activity. Brokers, using terms such
as "marketability" and "liquidity", sing the praises of companies with high share turnover (those who cannot fill your pocket will confidently fill your ear). But investors should understand that what is good for the croupier is not good for the customer. A hyperactive stock market is the
gribble: Nick 'BingoBoingo', with hostmask 'BingoBoingo!~BingoBoin@unaffiliated/bingoboingo', is identified
as user 'BingoBoingo', with GPG key id 309BB8D7F3251143, key fingerprint ADD7A9A28F85E5EF1F51904F309BB8D7F3251143, and bitcoin address None
BingoBoingo: From stories it seems most of the enlisted drug tests now happen
as an absorbent patch that collects sweat.
benkay: this,
as one might expect, is just another tool to control the cattle in america.
benkay: most american desk jockies
as well, especially if your desk is attached to a manufacturing operation.
mircea_popescu: MAKABEakira a better idea would perhaps be to re-structure the program so
as to work better with bitcoin's weaknesses.
BingoBoingo: MAKABEakira: who says he even hires Romanian. Trilema shows he tries to avoid it
as much
as possible
BingoBoingo: You can answer this next question or decline it
as you wish, but Jeopardy?
BingoBoingo: MAKABEakira: What I mean is if you want to run something
as a "Trust" for patrons, you do indeed need to dogfood it instead of depositing with Gox.
MAKABEakira: yet SM's exchange launch is taken
as a foregone conclusion.
BingoBoingo: moiety: Well the pirate case might touch on Thermos's responsibility
as he said sure Pirate, you can start a thread, allegedly
mircea_popescu: specifically, their claim
as to be behind badoo is immediately suspect, seeing how a) badoo is not particularly a respectable venture and b) it is run by a certain group of russian folk, well known to be disreputable.
mircea_popescu: so, this purported audit is in very poor form, for a myriad of reasons, such
as for instance it being published by the audited entity rather than by the auditor.
mircea_popescu: and if they list badoo, which is owned and operated by the russian... shall we not call it online fraud division, but merely refer to it
as "Андрей Оганджанянц".
mircea_popescu: (this is useful for the fractional reserve business not exactly because it improves cash flow, which it does not, but much moire because it allwos it to "see into the future",
as it were, ie to know ahead of time what financial resources it will need down the road)
mircea_popescu: but literally it'd be "they go looking for cunts to make fall-in",
as in the military thing.
mircea_popescu: all these kids running around acting
as if universal equality is somehow a fait accompli.
bitcoinpete: "Those in the 21st century who are most enamored of the word privilege—and often wield it
as a bludgeon—make two mistakes. First,
as Skwire shows us, they underestimate the complexity of power dynamics and social context. But they often take it a step further. In the name of reducing their newer, fuzzier kind of social privilege, they often advocate increases in the simple, old-fashioned, government-based variety."
mircea_popescu: lulzy :
as it is downgraded to "one of the world’s leading advocacy groups for the cybercurrency," bitcoin foundation hires jim harper and some pr
mircea_popescu: Through our policies and communications - our “advertisements” - we try to attract investors who will understand our operations, attitudes and expectations. (And, fully
as important, we try to dissuade those who won’t.) We want those who think of themselves
as business owners and invest in companies with the intention of staying a long time. And, we want those who keep their eyes focused on business resul
mircea_popescu: In large part, however, we feel that high quality ownership can be attracted and maintained if we consistently communicate our business and ownership philosophy - along with no other conflicting messages - and then let self selection follow its course. For example, self selection will draw a far different crowd to a musical event advertised
as an opera than one advertised
as a rock concert even though anyon
mircea_popescu: the system is desperate to acquire
as much
as possible of the real portion of the monetary base.
nubbins`: great idea but you might
as well say "FREE BLOWJOB PLZ"
joecool: cause only one or two US issuers have chip and pin
as an option
mircea_popescu: whereas small players will have to retain the help of an investment banker, in which case they get auditing
as a packaged deal anyway
nubbins`: the answer is left
as an exercise to the reader
mircea_popescu: she's a sorta leah, and
as we all know it sucks to be leah
jurov: forget
