asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'd imagine there is room for requests for a dec vax port or whatnot.
asciilifeform looks through the window and does not see any private bankers coming to ask re: therealbitcoin... perhaps they all go to mircea_popescu's house. or ben_vulpes...

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-08-2015#1249349 << ben_vulpes is back to mechanical world ?! ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: my thought was actually that it was illustrative of the idea you explained - that random beggar can't own a 'promissory n0te'
assbot: Logged on 23-08-2015 00:45:53; mircea_popescu: multiple UNSPECIFIED recipients.
assbot: Logged on 23-08-2015 00:42:58; mircea_popescu: incidentally asciilifeform and whoever else is privately thinking of reimplementing pgp : one thing i'd dearly love would be the ability to encrypt not to X, but to "l1".
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: please consider taking the thing in http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-08-2015#1249328 + http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-08-2015#1249335 and specifying a little more in detail. because i am utterly failing to grasp what was being sought here. ☝︎☝︎
assbot: Logged on 23-08-2015 00:32:28; mircea_popescu: punkman yes of course. just as soon as there's observable value everywhere a horde of shitheads with spoons are moving towards it.

assbot: Logged on 23-08-2015 21:42:47; mircea_popescu: point was agreed to before i think. which is how the discussion re what pgp implementation must be like got started.
mod6: funkenstein_: 0.4.3?
Vexual: hi funkenstein_
fluffypony: mircea_popescu you want to hear a funny story
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: their logic, to the extent there is any, is approximately 'nothing grows till the oak hits the ground'

assbot: Logged on 22-08-2015 19:13:28; mircea_popescu: ely almost entirely on expert opinion concerning the quality of the art, that is to say, is the quality of the art being examined of the quality expected of a painting by the artist—in this case, Caravaggio.
pete_dushenski: http://www.contravex.com/2015/07/12/on-walmart/#footnote_2_4406 << 'queen of hearts' not 'red queen'
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski goya is the definitive alf artist imo.
assbot: Logged on 22-08-2015 19:09:30; mircea_popescu: anyway, upon consideration venus does have to some degree the sharp features of the ideal fox. at least moreso than all the piefaces everyone wants to paint for some reason
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes sure.
assbot: Logged on 22-08-2015 19:03:59; mircea_popescu: "de gustibus" ?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: regarding el gran teatro, have you been to a proper milonga yet?

punkman: mircea_popescu: perfectly possible
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i was not reading messages at the time
phf: ben_vulpes: -p doesn't seem to do the same thing on os x as --parents does in gnu cp
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell mike_c hey, would you make the v graph alongside the wot graph ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the graph thing is quite essential (and if no one else does it, i will) because it exposes the actual dependency flow
ag3nt_zer0: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wYRGdD-xyo
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: (they gotta be homogeneous, as in following the same dir pattern as in 'genesis', to avoid unnecessary complexity in my proggy)
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: before you start recreating and signing 'orchestra' patches as well, also see the thread with mod6 where i explain that the paths need adjusting
antonosika: mircea_popescu: I hope you take a good ulterior consideration until then.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if he paid out to a random keyless amoeba, that'd be reason to conclude that he was shot and replaced not even by hitler's agent but by a street dog
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-08-2015#1248312 << read from here ☝︎
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: see earlier thread today with mod6
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: were you awake for that one ?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: we zapped the timestamps
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i think i get it..
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yes, i know fdr and co.'s explanation of why they 'had to' confiscate
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yes. didn't say 'no one did this', just 'no shortage of sane examples'
asciilifeform: but i don't have mircea_popescu's intel. only My Arse (tm)
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu's intel tells him that the power rangers see us as locust plague, i'll believe him; but from my chair i cannot see this.
assbot: Logged on 20-08-2015 23:05:51; ahmed_bodi: Occasional trader. remember trading with a few people here. lost my PGP? key so i cant auth with assbot myself anymore

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: well, yes. art is used precisely like bitcoin, but by the enemy.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what books and philosophy of his time ought he have reviewed instead ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: orwell assumed that full-scale human beings were a naturally-occurring product that could be taken for granted.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: from first stab
asciilifeform: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sV942i_zbzE << minus the tards, for anyone who needs it.
mircea_popescu: ag3nt_zer0 see "la terra trema". think that the film was made in the 1950s by using RANDOM LOCALS
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: two?
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu: who do you hold in high esteem as a director?
assbot: Logged on 06-03-2015 03:29:02; mircea_popescu: making money is a purely ~political~ function. if you are among the favoured elite of the respublica veneta, you then may invest in the ships, and make a profit. if not, not.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: consider, http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=06-03-2015#1044114 - ergo, 'this vermeer, in the gallery of our esteemed lord rothchild, is genuine. this picasso, in the suitcase of this ragged thief and scoundrel, is most certainly questionable.' ☝︎
mircea_popescu: ag3nt_zer0 i dun think much of welles as a director.
assbot: Logged on 22-08-2015 19:30:03; mircea_popescu: the merit of a pgp signature is that it delivers them from having to do this.
ag3nt_zer0: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-08-2015#1248275 << ever looked at this?: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/f_for_fake/ ☝︎
mircea_popescu: it's usually boiled into solid. something like http://www.romaniadevis.ro/dacia/cache/com_zoo/images/mamaliga-cu-branza-si-smantana_0021_008f3c26469f8cb5dd3dd0f6a0301d8a.JPG
mircea_popescu: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/90/Edouard_Manet_-_Luncheon_on_the_Grass_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg < wtf is that.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'на вкус и на цвет товарища нет' (tm) (r)
asciilifeform: this is because mircea_popescu is still thinking of these items as artwork, to look at
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not sure what i was thinking there!
fluffypony: ben_vulpes: why would that have anything to do with Steve Jobs?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i'm still not entirely convinced that particular knob is necessary
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu ^
asciilifeform: to further work the example, the 'antipatch' is only necessary if ben_vulpes's chain builds on any of asciilifeform's patches which have the unwanted patch as antecedent.
asciilifeform: one potentially warty aspect of 'v' is that let's say ben_vulpes agrees with all of asciilifeform's longest-chain patches but one, somewhere in the middle.
trinque: yeah, I made the LC_ALL=C change
asciilifeform: (mircea_popescu's bag of tricks is ultra-handy for items like this. specifically, in re: the ancient art of not wasting time with spurious crud)
assbot: Logged on 22-08-2015 09:49:19; mircea_popescu: either they stole someone's shit, in which case i want the original ; or else they made it up, in which case i dun want to hear it.

assbot: Logged on 21-08-2015 23:21:00; mircea_popescu: The rest of us who actually make shit happen in the front lines of consensus back on planet earth will continue to be unaffected by your efforts apart from their modest value as chuckle fuel over beers and sushi."
assbot: Logged on 21-08-2015 23:21:00; mircea_popescu: "Welcome, kiddo, to how the real world works. You go ahead and place your crazy protest bids way off in the bottom of the sociological order book and scream that someday, SOMEDAY, the market will come down to meet you, and you will be vindicated.
