t wind up like yours.

t get nuked until it becomes militantly stupid. bluemeanie got nuked earlier.

t it amusing how the_scourge got instanuked, but the outright derps keep getting upped?

t you heard about Mcoin machines?
BingoBoingo: For some tasks bus size isn'
t such a big deal.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i haven'
t / don'
t intend to because a) anyone who can grasp the abstraction already knows it ; b) anyone likely to benefit from the description probably can'
t read.
BingoBoingo: <IHB> i can'
t weigh in with my opinion. i will leave up to you guys. my stomach tells me the blocksize should not be raised and if people want to do other stuff they can peg their btc to a sidechain, if that ever becomes reality. << Not an unreasonable thing. Settlement happens on the blockchain small amounts dick around on distraction chain.
IHB: i can'
t weigh in with my opinion. i will leave up to you guys. my stomach tells me the blocksize should not be raised and if people want to do other stuff they can peg their btc to a sidechain, if that ever becomes reality.
IHB: won'
t it cost a lot of money to do that?
IHB: so if we don'
t have the cap it is possible for a miner to load blocks up with spam? and this in turn will weaken the network?
mircea_popescu: this doesn'
t mean me and eight other dudes get to vote on how to use gavin's wife.
IHB: i haven'
t had time and lot of changes are being pushed through. was working on an api that will be launched with it. hopefully it will be useful
cazalla: IHB, i mean, i gotta use 3 finger scrolls to get to the meat of it.. i don'
t even give the missus that much
mircea_popescu: dude, don'
t tell me stories. policeman thinks 120% is koshert ?
bitcoinquestions: If the blockchain were to fork into 2 chains. 1 chain where the blocksize limit was the Gavin scam and 1 chain where it was kept at 1MB, can'
t everyone just profit by selling their coins on the scam chain and rebuying back the coins on the old chain?
thestringpuller: "OMG You shouldn'
t try to sell one thing for a billion bucks. YOu should sell a billion things for a dollar each! it's so much more valuable"
mircea_popescu: i definiely need their vote to be happy, and if being rich were allowed (it isn'
t) then DEFINITELY the only way to get rich is to sell fifty billion fucktards stuff for a quarter each.
mircea_popescu: it's funny tho, reddit doesn'
t JUST think bitcoin is democracy. everything is democracy. according to redditard lore, i need their vote to get laid.
thestringpuller: The whole bart simpson era of "troublemakers" which I really don'
t understand since most of them do coke to work their 80 hour a week jobs.

t use drugs" would appear in the arcade games i played here, didn'
t even know what drugs were at the time
thestringpuller: "The world doesn'
t need millions of copies of the blockchain. 10,000 copies is probably enough." << the pseudo-arguments just get funnier and funnier
mircea_popescu: so far the biggest problem anon suffers from is that it doesn'
t really know what to get.
mircea_popescu: why do you wanna go in locales you don'
t like the maxima.
mircea_popescu: this can'
t be a problem. it's like mp's triangle : x sucks , no competition, anyone cares.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: what I don'
t get is why people are freaking out they will have to pay a lot of money to use the system?
mircea_popescu: "something i heard from all the people that all read trilema but i won'
t mention this"
mircea_popescu: o look at it, suddenly the arguments that didn'
t exist now exist ?
mircea_popescu: "It's largely engineers who think about it in terms of game theory. They think that if you have unlimited blocksize, then the cost of transactions will go to zero because there will always be a competitor that is willing to include transactions even if you're charging X. They believe this will cause a race to bottom and there won'
t be any incentive for miners to secure the network because they can'
t cover costs.
nubbins`: i can'
t recall the details, but i feel like at the time it was a sort of "english teacher overseas" thing
danielpbarron: catholics freely admit that they don'
t follow the Bible, and that some guy with a funny hat can arbitrarily change the rules as he pleases

t think any copies of it remain anywhere
davout: thestringpuller: 'fair money' exists in the mind of redditards, don'
t ask me what it means
thestringpuller: I guess people just don'
t like being told, "Hey you're poor, and excluded from this cool thing nao cause you are useless. Kthxbai."
mike_c: it was always "you gotta pay for it". most people just don'
t connect the dots to understand that's what inflation is.
mircea_popescu: davout: never heard about it, but apparently they're putting bs&
t to shame with a $400mn loss, sounds doubtful << yeah srsly, sounds like pure bs.
mircea_popescu: more importantly, who can'
t donate sperm. to women. directly.
nubbins`: "i don'
t think people should have to hide the fact that they have blood-borne pathogens" says the guy with Hep C who can'
t donate blood
nubbins`: "I don'
t think that people should have to hide the fact that they have a mental illness," Cooper said.
nubbins`: sadly, i don'
t think this will be replicated
cazalla: davout, i think it's a bitcoin company in name only, fiat ponzi otherwise but there is so much conflicting info out there that qntra didn'
t publish anything as of yet
davout: never heard about it, but apparently they're putting bs&
t to shame with a $400mn loss, sounds doubtful
danielpbarron: also from that article: "The nodes that really matter are the ones that provide valuable services. It doesn'
t matter if you upgrade. What matters is if Coinbase, BitStamp, and Blockchain.info upgrade."
ascii_modem: mentioned at least half a dozen 'couldn'
t gets'
danielpbarron: i don'
t think the issue is limited to SNI; surely you have an opinion on the matter
napedia: I don'
t write for SNI. My opinion is that I'd like to see SNI sort it out with economic reasoning and good articles. Pierre's arguments are most persusasive.
bitcoinquestions: And there's no way Gavin doesn'
t know exactly what he's doing, right? Like is it possible he convinced himself that it was a good idea?
jurov: and i don'
t see any alert.cpp on 0.5.3
trinque: no, I live in the US; can'
t speak for the others
mircea_popescu: exactly schmexactly. there's a difference between the idle imagination of youth and the knowledge of men. for instance : i know but you don'
t know that the vast majority of hard drives are produced in the same few acres of asian shore.
decimation: "The ritual traces its origins to professor H. E.
T. Haultain of the University of Toronto, who believed and persuaded other members of the Engineering Institute of Canada that there needed to be a ceremony and standard of ethics developed for graduating engineers. The need was patently obvious in the light of the Quebec Bridge disasters."
BingoBoingo: School administrator was puzzled by the combatants being "A" students without long disciplinary records didn'
t see fit to issue discipline to either party as the aggressor learned he wasn'
t fit to aggress.
mircea_popescu: i didn'
t beat him up, it was kinda incongruous. he had no real quarrel, posed no real threat and besides, as far as teh adults were concerned i was a silver spoony gentleman.
BingoBoingo: going to fight me. When he finally starts throwing punches can'
t keep his eyes open long enough to hit anything or avoid going to the ground and getting stomped
mircea_popescu: you wouldn'
t go blasting quailshot all over the mall either, would you.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: fwiw there aren'
t many orcs in the rural bits of ussa, and one can shoot trespassers on sign in those provinces too << Different kind, even tolkien had different kinds of orcs
decimation: ben_vulpes: yeah we ground-bound folk don'
t appreciate the air movements around objects
ben_vulpes: don'
t get me wrong, they're fly as hell.
gabriel_laddel:
t) rather than just a false positive. Again, I've never written C, and perhaps the ast is so complicated that it's actually impossible to get any useful information out of it, but my current experience suggests that having this ability is a good idea. Building something like `slime-who-calls' suddenly becomes simple.
gabriel_laddel: Why might one want to see the C ast? Let's say that we've got a codebase like the linux kernel, or opengl drivers. You know that somewhere you've got some stuff that talks to the hardware, but grep returns false positives. You instead pull the ast into memory, query across it for the bits your looking for. False positives now indicate something about the language (i.e., that I don'
t understand it as well as I though
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: you had a alternate name for gossipd based on russian theater that had some relation to the nazis. I couldn'
t find the wiki article again, care to point me to it?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: random: but I recall you said you don'
t like driving so you don'
t. You're driven. Do you ever "want" to drive in some ideal scenario? A racetrack or something?
mircea_popescu: (ps. the lisp notation of basic arithmetic would win "least likely to succeed" "ass-ugliest award" from a vast majority of all the people who understand basic arithmetic. it "doesn'
t feel right" for almost anyone. 3+4 does.
