mircea_popescu: i'd say something like "not commonly seen in general practice" and eyes will sparkle, "oooo, General Practice!"
mircea_popescu: (we have this joke in household, "General X", all the various generals.)
mircea_popescu: better than "die hardly", which is what teh russian'd say :D
mircea_popescu: there's not so much difference between google "ai" as seen here ; and lookup table mixups as seen with the original eggog.
mircea_popescu: the reason people don't fuck dog/rat is principally that woman cheaper.
mircea_popescu: such pile of ancient lulz we're sitting on, srsly now./
mircea_popescu: and no, "take the money freom these 3 accts and send to these 8 acfcounts" IS NOT ONE TRANSACTION. it's like 11.
mircea_popescu: o noes, bitcoion can support 200mn anually! same as fed! hurr durr not ernough space!
mircea_popescu: Going back to that coffee meme, the implied message is that 1MB is fine unless for everything else. You know substantial stuff like paying your mortgage, business deals, major capital expenditures, or paying a supplier for inventory. This just isn't the case though. Do you know anyone who pays for coffee with a bank wire? The FedWire service (run by US federal reserve) processes ~150 million bank wires annually. "
mircea_popescu: "1MB doesn't can't even keep up with existing non-retail payment networks.
mircea_popescu: aha. part of why the whole "bitcoin tx fee" argument was so thoroughly derrided.
mircea_popescu: "HOW CAN SOMEONE CHARGE FOR FINANCIAL TRANSFERS AND NOT CUT US IN!!11"
mircea_popescu: anyway. i'm rather looking forward to the 10k usd/btc doing 1 bitcent txfees and everyone from goldman sachs to goldman sachs salivating on the side.
mircea_popescu: clearly the cheap alternative has to change!! god forbid people see the value of bitcoin to the point they're willing to pay more to use it than to use SWIFT!!! WHAT WOULD THAT DO TO THE BANKS!!!1
mircea_popescu: meanwhile irl, bitcoin tx costs 5 bux at the very most. wire costs 50 bux at a minimum, plus whatever bank tacks on to that.
mircea_popescu is now getting pissed off at conflicts long resolved through the beheading of the conflicterers. what a life.
mircea_popescu: "You may have heard someone say something like" fucking fucktard.
mircea_popescu: back in the days of mpoe-pr, he was the single "competitor" so to speak, ie, person at the same level. "deathandtaxes".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform we had conversations about quantum computers.
mircea_popescu: back then the standard for technical qualification was "hey, let's put 10 bytes of txid in one point of the log and 14 in another. FUCK YOU!"
mircea_popescu: and the list keeps going and going. gavin or mike hearn were (their moral turpitude aside), ~technically~ qualified to participate back in 2012.
mircea_popescu: and so it goes, the table stakes keep ratcheting up. "hey, i'm the coolest kid in my village!" is great for while we're still talking the village.
mircea_popescu: take who the fuck will you take, thickasthieves ? way ahead of the pack back when the pack consisted of "neobee will save bitcoin from ???".
mircea_popescu: in 2013 he seemed credible. in 2017 we meanwhile found out what a fucking joke argentina is ; and this mutation exactly describes him, too.
mircea_popescu: take the xapo schmuck, what's his face, the argentine "entrepreneur".
mircea_popescu: come 2017 ... he's barely qualified to shrem. not even on the fucking list, art all. what 99% ?
mircea_popescu: take voorhees! in 2013 he was great -- not entirely retarded kid, some business experience (earned in daddy's shop, but then again, so did trump). way better than 99% of all those involved.
mircea_popescu: he's a typical schmuck, a la jwz. wants a comfortable existence and really, all these complicated shits scare him shitless.
mircea_popescu is totally going to stick to this format. maybe deGRasse account TysonVerified and so on.
mircea_popescu: i think it dates to the Surgeon General Warning's Verifiedaccount.
mircea_popescu: aha! isn't it funny who's talking, and what they're talking about ?
mircea_popescu: (that's been the big pantsuit talking point, pushed for the past week or so by teh faux news orgs : that trump "fails to lead" and that therefore and thereby all sorts of others are "filling in the void". very much in the vein of alf's prediction)
mircea_popescu: you know, random fake media soap bubble fucking-loves-"leadership" in the pantsuit sense of teh term
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz from the swamp : "The divided United States of America will unite today, sharing a cosmic event predicted by the methods and tools of science." apud Neil deGRasse TysonVerified account.
mircea_popescu: "hurr durr, let's pretend like usg-korea is a place and let's pretend it's gonna innovate and bla bla"
mircea_popescu: coinmarketcap site lists "bch/krw" pairs, but if you use its own god damned "search currencies" item, it doesn't know what krw even is.
mircea_popescu: so fucking totally not a case of "here's my website, i write numbers into it" you wouldn't believe.
mircea_popescu: heh. kinda like how the usg maintains the pretense of "value" of the usd too huh
mircea_popescu: (of course, like darwinism, there's a large mass of religious "critics" of the notion)
mircea_popescu: this has been so amply proven by the crypto exercise as to compete with darwinism.
mircea_popescu: and that time man walked into goat herd, picked fattest kid, slit his throat and splashed everyone in blood was you know "never proven to have happened" hurr durr.
mircea_popescu: anyway. goat finds it very easy to not think about the gun in the drawer in the house it's not allowed to go into. and so comes to conclusion man is ~goat.
mircea_popescu: in fact, the difference between power rangers and "ethereum developers" is entirely nil, which is why the "ethereum community" is flattering itself into relevancy : they compare themselves to the power rangers, and come to the conclusion that "similar kind, dispute to be resolved by headcount".
mircea_popescu is not entirely convinced the ~implementation~ of segwit as executed by the power rangers will even work. because that's what they do, it woul;dn't be the first time. or the second. it'd be like the 5th time, which is how many soft forks they did.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i deliberately didn't want to make any assumptions. "black box" if you prefer.
mircea_popescu: if it's say 24 blocks, it's POSSIBLE someone undoes your tx, but not likely (needs 24 block lead to unroll the chain)
mircea_popescu: now at this time t3, you judge the quality of the input as always : block delta between t2 and t3.
