dub: apparently activemining has been the victim of; personal attacks (including death threats) against the CEO, greedy and manipulating FUD, relentless trolling, viscous personal attacks on people's character and downright badness.
dignork: nubbins`: well, the key is also somewhat questionable, but signed text contains links, formatted as html etc. no way to verify sig really.

nubbins`: i can dig that
bitcoinpete: i imagine a west african tribal village with mp dressed as a shaman
chetty: no one knows what lurks in the mind of MP, even MP ☟︎
princessnell: bitcoinpete sure. i was just responding to his idea as presented. but we'll see.
bitcoinpete: well, he was overseas to begin with. now he'll just be south afaik
bitcoinpete: looks that way
bitcoinpete: exactly this question and the ability to ask it
nubbins`: what in the world is purposeful about a bunch of molecules smacking into each other?
princessnell: ok, but i'm not sure how that addresses "this opens up a large debate as to whether life has purpose. i happen to hold that it doesnt."
bitcoinpete: so bitcoin is exactly opposed to nihilism
bitcoinpete: i would've thought he was the exact opposite
princessnell: bitcoinpete you're right. i was framing in terms of MP's nihilism.
princessnell: mircea_popescu and in that they become unhuman. basically a major point of that article is that this desperate clutching at straws, people trying to retain their people-relevance in economics is a little lulzy. there's no room for politics in economy. << i am excited to learn more about this non-political economy you have discovered!
bitcoinpete: achievement isn't window dressing if it impacts the world.
princessnell: bitcoinpete that often includes children, but this isn't a necessity << right, Hamilton's law
princessnell: some of those are better or worse to achieve those ends depending on environemnt/institutions
bitcoinpete: that often includes children, but this isn't a necessity
princessnell: rite rite, that's the window dressing
bitcoinpete: our purpose is to achieve, to grow, to strive for better.
bitcoinpete: princessnell i think that's too reductionist
princessnell: not exactly keep living, but maximize probability of the highest possible degree of genetic transmission. but you get my drift.
princessnell: mircea_popescu: this opens up a large debate as to whether life has purpose. i happen to hold that it doesnt, which informs the choice of vocabulary. it'll have to be translated (apolitic ?) to avoid linking that dependency in there. << on the most basic level the purpose of life is to keep living. everything else is window dressing but the actions they adorn reveal a necessary performative acknowlegement.
asciilifeform: next to it, on the curb, i left a g3 mac. wonder if anyone lifted it.
asciilifeform: the plastic facade had a tempest mesh (mu metal?) behind it.
asciilifeform: one nice touch was the os-independent status lcd (16 chars.)

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: If I ever get bored enough to take up metalworking as a hobby cases like that would make interesting projects.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: this wasn't an x86 box

benkay: they're going to select people who say things like "well that's going to cost you 2.3 million dollars at the low end, and maybe as much as 10, but you'll have rock-solid DRM at the end of it".
benkay: the people with the money to implement dumb crypto things are never going to select professional services people for execution who say things like "what you are trying to build is not possible to build".
TomServo: You'd think they'd have learned after the CSS key was leaked.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i threw out a HP J2240 just a few days ago, when moving.
BingoBoingo: Some day when I have the room for them: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sun-Ultra-80-Ultra-60-Sparcstation-5-Computers-21-CRT-Monitor-Spare-Parts/171328101978?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131017132637%26meid%3D7108958640035309655%26pid%3D100033%26prg%3D20131017132637%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D270838326121
