mircea_popescu: now,
this certainly isn't
to say
that
taking a break is not a good idea.
mircea_popescu: there's nothing
to negotiate, see ? whereas as long as you are your own master for all you know your adiction is making a deal
mircea_popescu: the only logically sound way
this proof works is if you're a slave and your master orders you
to stop, without a specific
timeframe.
then yes.
mircea_popescu: see, i can appreciate
that sentiment, but it has a hole in it
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: yeah...part of it was also
to prove
to myself I wasn't an alcoholic:)
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: so I stopped for 6 months
to demonstrate I wasn't << alternatively you could have belted her butt
to demonstrate it's not her place
to say. better for humanity, because she probably went on
to write opinionful articles about
things.
mircea_popescu: Naphex: garbage article, opionions and arguments how fun <<
they've been having an eve corp whose shares are
traded in bitcoin/equiv MPOE shares for... a year now ? more ?
mircea_popescu: artifexd: It makes more sense when I notice
that mp has never (that I've seen) recommended
that users reuse addresses. His statements have always (that I have seen)
talked about services reusing addresses. << yes,
this is an important, and also correct, observation.
mircea_popescu: like, derps believe "there is a god above" ? well, let's put some satellites in orbit, see what
they do
then ? ah,
they still believe it, except it's now above-er ? win.
mircea_popescu: this happens
to be how one defends himself from stupidity : by making
the intellectual cost of stupidity skyrocket.
mircea_popescu: not only in
tech
terms, but also in intellectual
terms. ie,
the nonsense one has
to believe in other
to believe in
taint.
mircea_popescu: artifexd: I can also just assert
that
the address isn't mine. Period. << absolutely. on
the other hand, reusing addresses actually makes
the stupidirty of "calculating
taint" much more expensive.
mircea_popescu: it's not
technically
that, because in point of fact you *can* implement with single use addresses
the same system. however, you could also not have, and likely
the presumption will be
that you have not. so it's more like proof
that you have
than anything
mircea_popescu: artifexd: It's like an order randomized mixer. << something like
that.
steven-__: I
thought
that post was just native advertising
pankkake: and shows how non-revolutionary "clouds" are, not how how stupid
that one is
pankkake: it's actually pretty much like
the cloud
ozbot: Is
This
the Worst
Tech Idea of 2014?
steven-__: hopefully now
that magic is involved
they can get it done
steven-__: They have been saying
that for years
steven-__: but yea magic was my first
thought but he is pretty busy bringing a NFL
team
to la
steven-__: sell
the story of
them
taking away
the
team
to
the masses not
the
team itself
steven-__: this racism
thing is just a way
to sell it
to
the masses
steven-__: but now
that its not a
turd
they
took it away
BingoBoingo: Well if someone wants
to own a
turd,
they can own a
turd.
ozbot: Bill Simmons writes an open letter
to Blake Griffin on
the eve of
the NBA draft - ESPN
steven-__: and
they are just pushing him out now
that his
team is good
Naphex: hehe, is
there any
though?:D
Naphex: Asus AMD Radeon R9 295X2, 8192MB + Asus X79 RAMPAGE IV BLACK EDITION was
the expensive part
pankkake: what's lei?
the doge
to ron's bitcoin?
BingoBoingo: The only better
time
to practice
than before is now
BingoBoingo: Another interesting exercise is holding coin and keeping it safe from
technical
threats and ill advised spending
BingoBoingo: steven-__:
That's probably
the safest
thing. Probably wouldn't hurt
to acquire some coin and dispose of some coin as practice if you haven't done much other
than read yet.
chetty: the peaceful
time of day
BingoBoingo: Cool. Yeah, it's kind of a slow night. Anythings you do in Bitcoin or would like
to do in Bitcoin?
steven-__: I have been idling here for some
time still learning
BingoBoingo: steven-__: You're welcome. What brings you
to
these parts?
bounce: russia running mostly on vodka, I don't suppose
that'll change any
time soon
BingoBoingo: bounce: I've actually always suspected
the religious case for prohibition was largely influenced by
the cost of drinking
taking money
that could have been
tithed
bounce: could well be from
the idea
that having people not spend several hundred beer
tokens at
the local watering hole each and every week would leave
them with more money
to spend on other
things.
then again, why aren't
they waging national campaigns against audiophoolism?
that's even more expensive and braindamaged.
pankkake: mongodb is amazing in
the sense
that 99% of its users do not need it, and create
themselves new problems
bounce: dropping php/mysql isn't a bad idea. but
the replacement... some people are magnets for failure
BingoBoingo: Because excess and poorly contextualized drinking can be destructive, apparently
taking more
than five drinks must be an illness. As opposed
to
the medical condition where
the body has adapted
to
the presence of alcohol so much
that discontinuing it is harmful.
bounce: we're still living with
the damage
bounce: plenty people have contended
that because GUIs look pretty for some applications, if only everybody used GUIs for everything productivity will soar for everybody
ozbot: Twitter /
The1KingDragon:
The latest @TheCryptoRush: ...
BingoBoingo: Or support p2p decentralized everythings because if
these
things are good in some applications,
they must be good in all applications, right.
bounce: eh, finance's not supposed
to /drink/ anyway.
BingoBoingo: This is
the same sort of derp
think
that gets us people who do stuff like support
the bitcoin foundation because it sounds right.
bounce: IIRC
the criterion was like five glasses a week.
though it went upward if you're a student, upward again if you're a medical or
technical student, and upward again for certain cities with skewed (as in, mostly male) student population
bounce: wikipedia claims delirium
tremens only kicks in after a week or so
BingoBoingo: No,
the line for alcoholism is
that stopping drinking impares your ability
to continue living
fluffypony: bounce: I
think
that
the qualifying factor is whether it changes your behaviour
BingoBoingo: fluffypony:
Thank you for
the vote of confidence
bounce: two or
three drinks a night does qualify for alcoholism in some books
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: Flashlights. It's storm season and I learned all of
the ones I have around are aging and
their bulbs suck
BingoBoingo: I really hope csshih's employees don't fuck up getting
the package out
today.
fluffypony: and he was like "but it's
too much effort for a girl."
fluffypony: had an older (wiser) friend say
to me "this girl is really difficult
to be with"
fluffypony: good lessons
to learn when you're young
fluffypony: so I stopped for 6 months
to demonstrate I wasn't
fluffypony: I had a girlfriend
that said I was an alcoholic because I enjoyed a drink or
two or
three every night
Naphex: bb, heading
towards
the office
ozbot: Bitcoin’s EVE corporation pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
BingoBoingo: Naphex: Did you know
there is a clean pathway between Isk and BTC?
ozbot: Why Eve Online's economist
thinks bitcoin could be a scam | Polygon
BingoBoingo: That reaction is
the same reason I didn't check for you
artifexd: Ick. Forums. It occurs
to me
that I don't care
that much.
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Not
that I know of you can check
the forums. His nick is r3wt
artifexd: Did
the guy
that wrote openex ever come back? I haven't noticed him since
then.
BingoBoingo: The volume and
trade frequency were higher
than x-bt's usually is now.
BingoBoingo: artifexd: No, on Openex it
traded up
to
the 700's
BingoBoingo: The worst privacy case for an individual
though is one one address and only
that address forever and ever, amen
artifexd: Did ATC just hit an all
time high?
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Well
the
thing is best practices for users involve a degree of esoterism
artifexd: It makes more sense when I notice
that mp has never (that I've seen) recommended
that users reuse addresses. His statements have always (that I have seen)
talked about services reusing addresses. Which... ok. I'll buy
that.
artifexd: I certainly believe
that reusing addresses has a
time and a place. I'm just
trying
to wrap my head around
the idea
that it increases anonymity.
artifexd: I can also just assert
that
the address isn't mine. Period.
The first
time I came into possession of
the coins was when
they arrived at
the address I claimed.
BingoBoingo: artifexd: It can make a
ton of good. Someone suspects an address is yours because of a
transaction between it and an address you claimed. You can assert, no
that's a service's address and disavow it.
artifexd: That makes some sort of minor sense for a service
that just holds money
to send it back
to its users, but
that logic doesn't do a user of bitcoin any good.
artifexd: As in: Send me money. I'll send it
to you later. But I may send
the next guys money before I send yours. I may also send you a different amount
than you sent me.
