JorgePasada: and
the worst part is
they don't even
try
to question
their own understanding and/or more accurately drill down on meaning
JorgePasada: fluffypony: People
throw words around with absolute certainty and complete disregard for actual meaning
mircea_popescu: it's almost as if we inhabit a
theoretical
topological construct rather
than irl.
mircea_popescu: the mystery lemma of -assets is
that no matter in what asshole of
the world any one assetteer lives,
there's at least one
that lives within visiting distance.
fluffypony: JorgePasada: I see our friends in
the Neo&Bee
thread don't understand
that when you and I say "creditor" we mean "creditor" and not "investor"
JorgePasada: benkay: Not gonna make
the meetup
tonight, I'll be down later in
the week
though
mircea_popescu: yes,
this is
true, money changers didn't
traditionally run like banks.
fluffypony: sure, but a cryptocurrency
trading website needs
to be able
to enact
trades in real
time in a monolithic fashion
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller yeah ideally
the wiki should end up a sort of short story of all
the blawgs.
mircea_popescu: <fluffypony> pankkake: eventual consistency, within 3 weeks! << for all
the beating eventual consistency gets,
the sad secret elephant in
the room is
that all business in
the history of business for
the past 1k years has been of
the eventual consistency
types. what do you
think double entry accounting is.
mircea_popescu: and depends what your interest is. my mention was something
to
the effect of, "some frenchie
took
the pseudo-statistics
that yielded
the golf club pattern in climate pseudo-science and applied it
to pseudo-economics"
mircea_popescu: <pankkake> so it solves everything.
twice. << 8 lines bashed. omfg i spilled. bwahahahaha
mircea_popescu: <Apocalyptic> haven't
these guys given up already ? << i was kinda surprised myself.
TomServo: More
to
the point, is his book worth reading?
mircea_popescu: <mike_c>
that gap is unbridgeable. ask hanbot. << hanbot
teh bridge builder. in full leather regalia and with
three whips and
twoi lashes in each hand.
TomServo: mircea_popescu: I seem
to recall you mentioning Piketty, but don't recall
the context. Was it regarding his book?
mircea_popescu: <pankkake> besides
the various forms of writing an address, I guess
there are RIPEMD-160 collisions? << a ripemd-160 collision
that'd make
two diff bitcoin addresses out of one key is kinda improbable even
theoretically
tho
mike_c: i
think you're missing a (* 1000)
mike_c: JS date
time is in milliseconds
mike_c: when I looked at
the cookie it said it expired in an hour.
mike_c: plus,
the ref cookie only seems
to be good for an hour.
mike_c: like, is referral cookie good for all bets or just
the one you sent
them
to?
mike_c: comments on
that video are good
too :) "Thanks now my crt is broken"
mike_c: whoa.
that video is cool.
that glass is shaking.
davout: asciilifeform: you go
to weird parties
mike_c: smack
the glass with
the oscilliscope?
davout: oh, guess i was confused about what
tesla's apparatus is
davout: "other -
tesla's apparatus" <<< how? i would have said
the second method involved some sort of sending waves
through
the earth and manage
to use some sort of resonance phenomenon
davout: yeah,
thought about
that one, might require an extremely massive one
tho, or maybe very well positioned
davout: pankkake: doubtful,
the last japenese earthquake cost sthg like 750,000
davout: asciilifeform: are you implying
that a human action could have some influence on
the
tectonic movements leading
to an earthquake?
mike_c: it has minimum of 8.0 Mw.
that would be impressive if manmade.
davout: asciilifeform: prolly not a mega one
tho
pankkake: is
there a rss feed per author on cryptocoinnews?
BingoBoingo: I'm
thinking of
the stuff developed a while back for non-lethal anti personel use
BingoBoingo: I could see a sticky hardening foam interfering with
the aerodynamics of non-rotor aircraft
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I imagine
the drones having hardening foams and nets, seem more likely
to cripple competing aircraft.
fluffypony: ;;later
tell mircea_popescu my nonna phoned me back
to say
that
they were discussing
the piece of poetry, and she suggests
this alternative: "This is a beautiful story for whoever listens
to it, beautiful
the people
that
tell
the story, beautiful
the land
that cannot be forgotten, beautiful Michela she will be"
bitcoinpete: ;;later
tell heysteve i haven't seen your links on crytocoinnews so feel free
to pass
them along!
pankkake: "Our
target is
to raise 15 BTC", lol
fluffypony: I actually can't bring myself
to finish it
fluffypony: I started
typing a reply
to
them but ya know
fluffypony: pankkake: YOU
TOO CAN OWN A PIECE OF
THIS WIKI!
BingoBoingo: Well, it is hard
to characterize
the eventual
trajectory of any given
true n00b.
thestringpuller: ah so
the
true n00b usually has a short attention span like
the kids of
the MTV generation @_@
bitcoinpete: thestringpuller:
the
true n00b is already losing interest in bitcoin,
though "cryptocurrency in general" still has
their attention
thestringpuller: n00bs
that are willfully ignorant will fight
to defend said ignorance
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller:
That's a good question. I imagine we'll fill
the wiki with important points over
time, but in
the long run it will probably be spread over
the blogs. Maybe when it becomes a concern
there might be a discussion of some sort of archive-assets for blogs
that lose viability
to
to operator inability
to continue
them.
bitcoinpete: meaning
that
those entering
the space will appreciate how little
they know
bitcoinpete: eventually, i see fewer people walking into bitcoin (and assets) like
they own
the place
pankkake: I guess you end up reading old, important artists with all
the links
bitcoinpete: ultimately,
there's no replacement for reading
the logs and
the blogs
bitcoinpete: thestringpuller:
this is something we've discussed before i believe… and
there's no one clear answer.
thestringpuller: bitcoinpete: What do you
think will be
the "premiere" archive of information? I imagine all
the good info in BingoBoingo
ThickAsThieves
Trilema your's and other blogs will eventually be archived into
the "Manual for
the Bitcoin n00b"
fluffypony: when you can have 3 different
trades confirmed at
the same
time
pankkake: so it solves everything.
twice.
Apocalyptic: at
this point
the only
thing
that comes
to mind is : "i don't even..."
fluffypony: Apocalyptic: but don't worry, despite being gutted and having a scam-IPO
to rebuild
they're going
to use MongoDB because it solves everything!
