mircea_popescu: i am quite curious
to hear what
their parachute design will look like.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform or
to put it in plainer
terms : it is very
true one wants
to invent parachute before, rather
than after being
thrown from
the plane.
bounce: what's
the state of
thin foil solar panels anyway?
bounce: drones with mesh potatoes and solar panels for autonomy. some proximity sensors and such. one roof gets
too hot for comfort, move
to
the next.
mircea_popescu: as i said a few
times before,
the other party can move it up
to getting shot any
time it feels ready
mircea_popescu: accidents happen, and stoolies are in all
times and places
the first
to also have problems.
mircea_popescu: how many stoolies, how many eyes and who;'s going
to derp on your land ?
mircea_popescu: well
that all depends, i guess. what's
to keep you from cutting a square foot window in
the
tree ?
mircea_popescu: he's almost as bad as
the forum average, 25% loss over a year.
mircea_popescu: "proceeds on btc sold : 600k.
trading losses, 150k. net 450k" heh.
mircea_popescu: 11k for gas and groceries. and
then
they claim no inflation eh ?
mircea_popescu: so
trendon shavers managed
to funel ~70k
through his paypal account.
to which paypal gave no
trouble at all. why aren't
they co-defendants in his case ?
mircea_popescu: you can have flying objects in suburbia, you can definitely have stuff hid inside
tree
tops, etc.
Namworld: Go in suburbia, stand any random spot, look around. Line of sight
to plenty of solid points will be found. Get creative. (Are we still
talking about creating a comm mesh?)
SuchWow: Looking
through your websites now, very impressive info.
mircea_popescu: Namworld i can see
that, yeah.
there's nothing like "confusion" when
the "confused" stands
to make a buck from it.
Namworld: Plus you know a few places would scam people "We only owe you X BTC" and
the generic moron would go "I knew it, BTC under 1 dollar by
the end of
the year."
mircea_popescu: Namworld
they imagine it'd make more noobs buy, and so make
their worthless holdings worth somerthing.
Namworld: What?
That's retarded. We'd end up with 2000 BTC
to
the dollar and a shitload of BTC. Plus
that wouldn't change anything at all, actually.
fluffypony: coz if it's programmatic
they should be working in satoshis anyway
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo> bounce: HAMs
tend
to be a
territorial and snitchy bunch << only because no real political pressure has been applied
to
them yet, because nobody gave a shit. normally
the sewer rats are also a snitchy,
territorial bunch. nevertheless, nobody in
the lower east side would
talk
to a cop, pre ww2.
fluffypony: how are
they feeding values in
to an accounting system anyway?
Namworld: Move decimals
to
two places? You mean as in making 1 BTC = 100 satoshi?
mircea_popescu: <fluffypony> and ignored << just because some inconsequential idiots a la bitpay &
the forum are herping away dun mean anything's been ignored. you can't ignore
the judge, or
the bullet.
SuchWow: Thanks, first I've heard of
the chan :)
joecool: mircea_popescu: yeah,
the same logic applies on recyclables
mircea_popescu: <joecool>
the municipalities
though would sell scrap licenses for
these discarded items and arrest anyone who picked it up without a permit << fucking outrageous. selling licenses on MY
trash ? heh.
mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> lordy,
the forum and bitpay wanna move
the bitcoin decimal
to
two places << enemies of
the people.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony lmao "chinese rules". i dunno dood, afaik
the chinese are
the most druggy whoring of
the whole lot.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> and wonders like fidonet will return from
the grave. << where do you
think you're now ?
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> living in usa, i admit i'm rather surprised
that it is 2014 and i'm not yet forced
to pay $500/mo
to get something other
than ArsebookNet << i
think
they're running way behind schedule.
mircea_popescu: they keep hearing "coca cola is a drink"
they end up
thinking it's a drink.
mircea_popescu: otherwise
the general fucktarded populace may end up confused, cause
they're simple signal processors.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform pretty much exactly. which is why a lot more "fuck
the poor,
they're less
than dirt" needs
to be stated explicitly.
mircea_popescu: and i can't catch up because you're all into explody
talkmode
bounce: it'd be useful
to have a bursting service on your radio
bounce: hah, double post. n'mind
then.
mircea_popescu: <bitcoinpete> But if
the neutralistas got
their way, people in developing countries wouldn’t have better Internet access; many of
them would have nothing" << omfg who
the shit cares about
the poor, what sort of braindamaged argument is
this.
jborkl: You get
to listen
to a bunch of
titybabies cry all day?
mircea_popescu: <MarieLynn> Before
that I was a
tour guide across North America, I started at 18. And a nanny
too :) << now how do you figure
that being a
tour guide and a nanny
transitions
to providing leadership services for
the world's most important project ?
mircea_popescu: i noticed
that is how you must write everything about
these
things
assbot: Voicing
tris for 30 minutes.
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> must be missing something.. << or you've just been
touched by
the gods for once.
jborkl: Maybe Patricks Foreskin investment
total return fund
jborkl: well, I guess people really refernced spongebobs bestie
too
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla
the article says x is worse
than y.
thus it's about x, not y.
jborkl: you cant
tell me
they really referenced BTCjam on credit ratings?
mircea_popescu: that's why it's cheap and effectual : we don't seduce women, we just deign
to notice
the ones
that've seduced
themselves already.
mircea_popescu: but
the
transition happens in its own
time for its own reasons, you see.
mircea_popescu: such a
thing is nonsensical, much like any scenario breaing
thermodynamicsa.
bounce: what'd be
the most widely available stuff
that does ssb? I'd expect 27mc. which, since
there's lots of crap going on
there anyway, wouldn't be a bad band
to use
mircea_popescu: you imagine
this situation of perfect loyalty and imperfect communications.
mircea_popescu: is substantial political risk with
this investment. We, as investors, do not know how
the Cypriot government will act
toward a new financial institution like
this.
This is especially
true given
the political
turmoil occuring in Ukraine and
the Crimea region."
mircea_popescu: "The Bitcoin Emerging Market Fund (BBBB) initiated a position in
the Neo & Bee Payment Network (Havelock: NEOBEE) on 03/07 buying 18 shares.
The fund will continue
to increase
this position in
the near
term. I love
the
tangibility of NEOBEE’s assets.
They have brick and mortar branches and will be providing vital financial services
to an area
that has
traditionally been “under-banked.” I must note, however,
there
ozbot: These fucktards have
to be immortalised,
they’re worse
than Dr. Foreskin even pe
Trilema - Un blog
joecool: asciilifeform:
the idea would be
to mesh a
town, and use HV lines
to link
to other
towns
ozbot: Q15X25 - Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia
joecool: asciilifeform: yeah i knew
that much, but could still use HV lines
to go a distance, no?
bounce: the goal isn't
to cook up an invulnerable system.
the goal is
to cook up a resilient system.
ten different systems working
together would be even better.
