mircea_popescu: "Every time you hear the word globalism, you should hear three things: 1. wealth uncoupled from work product. 2. Lifestyle as a reflection of your personal self-worth. 3. You give up control of the capital, and by capital I mean you. "Do I still get paid?" Sure, but you have to promise to spend more than what we pay. "How will that work?" Don'
t worry, Visa will explain it all to you."
kanzure: oh that doesn'
t matter, you can convert most forms of motion
kanzure: it means "don'
t spend 100 hours assembling tiny parts into a bigger device"
mircea_popescu: d their lives. If you don'
t believe me, believe Lori Gottlieb. This logic recommended to her to drop out of Stanford medical school to join Kibu.com, and now she's a relationship expert.
kanzure: part of it is that i don'
t trust anyone to keep the whole threat model in their head
the_scourge: ben_vulpes: wow that is some seriously seedy shit.... surely they didn'
t get anyone's money?
ben_vulpes: the_scourge: shit doesn'
t even really count compared to actual impressive public market scamming like VGMC
BingoBoingo: mod6: Wait, Was it a bible verse that doesn'
t want to verify?
BingoBoingo: ;;later tell pete_dushenski Search for "Clean My Archives" if you consider using it be sure to read it. There isn'
t much to it.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: if you or anyone else has any suggestions for sorting archive pages, it'd be sweet if contravex didn'
t only post one article at a time
mircea_popescu: "he problem isn'
t a limit in general but that 1MB is so low that under any meaningful adoption scenario it will push all individual users off the blockchain to rely on trusted third parties. In essence you will probably be priced out of the blockchain and the blockchain becomes yet another network you will never have direct (peer) access to, just like FedWire, SWIFT, and other private closed transfer networks. "
ascii_field: redhat patch << i can'
t help but think that this is a 'wait, there was dioxin in my cyanide pill!111!' situation.
mircea_popescu: "When I was in Sicily, I couldn'
t even get a frickin' wifi login at the McDonalds without an Italian passport *and* a local registered sim. "
mircea_popescu: as weigh is at 90k, even should you hold all the no you can'
t expect to make more than .189
the_scourge: er, sorry i didn'
t mean to reference one specific form of fascism ... i should have used 'left' and 'right' instead
the_scourge: doesn'
t our politics and philosophy entirely derive from our finances? it's pretty clear that a liberal is just a fascist with effective plumbing and sanitary solutions
mircea_popescu: whether they have or they don'
t have a choice today, it makes little difference.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field the notion that there exists an ending for every character doesn'
t hold.
ascii_field: it isn'
t like they have an alternative 'pepsi usa' which they can escape to and help it build death rays.
mircea_popescu: if i weren'
t so lazy i guess i'd organise a special cell to create these derpy "controversies" about every single intellectually productive us person and have the academia "sever ties" with them.
danielpbarron: i think i tried the portatronic patch first and it didn'
t work
ascii_field: though technically shouldn'
t conflict with any of them
ascii_field: 2) your build isn'
t even happening with the patched (non-zlib) makefile
ascii_field: the thing shouldn'
t ever be asking for zlib!
ascii_field: the locally built libs either 1) aren'
t there 2) aren'
t pointed to by the envir.
ascii_field: try building on a box that doesn'
t even -have- the libs
mircea_popescu: one sec to package it so it doesn'
t end up flooding log
mircea_popescu: fucking a. didn'
t this guy as retold by asciilifeform end up sucking cock because "gentleman" in his own opinion ?
ben_vulpes: OKAY CLIENT WHY AREN'
T YOU IN OUR CONFERENCE CALL
mircea_popescu: dun waste your time, you don'
t have so much of it. go do something that matters somewhere where it does.
mircea_popescu: well if what carries currency here doens'
t matter, why are you talking ?
the_scourge: mircea_popescu: ok it wasn'
t quite ready. it's not a strange notion what can be argued from first principles. i'm agreeing with your post
mircea_popescu: well so then there the conversation ends. you are a believer in some strange notions that don'
t carry currency here.
the_scourge: mircea_popescu: if you want a first principles argument for the existence of the cathedral, that has been given already. i'm not going to repeat it in an IRC channel. everyone knows where to find it, i'm just wondering why you in particular haven'
t looked at it
mircea_popescu: yarvin doesn'
t get an out of jail free card just because he is "with us", as opposed to whoever, golf club pattern proponent
mircea_popescu: the_scourge: wait, are you suggesting that socialism isn'
t part of The Cathedral? << a) "the cathedral" is about as solid a concept as moldbug's new os.
chetty: <trinque> +the_scourge | mike_c: i'm starting to think that i've taken a pill which ran an end-run around #b-a ... not sure yet << I came for the bitcoin, stayed for the mindfuck// aren'
t they the same thing?
the_scourge: wait, are you suggesting that socialism isn'
t part of The Cathedral?
pete_dushenski: the_scourge: all = modern only. rousseau didn'
t invent socialism
the_scourge: i don'
t understand waht that has to do with it
mircea_popescu: the_scourge you don'
t understand how the world works :)
mircea_popescu: jews don'
t understand this heritage concept like normal people.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron <command-line>:0:0: warning: "_FORTIFY_SOURCE" redefined << that doesn'
t sound so good.
the_scourge: pete_dushenski: because most don'
t quite understand the point. i kinda get the perceived problem (thanks to alf) but the solution, while cool, hasn'
t struck me as nuclear (yet)
assbot: Logged on 05-02-2015 06:53:48; ben_vulpes: i know you don'
t like the guy, but nuking his record?
pete_dushenski: on a digital forum where you don'
t even need to fuss about body language
the_scourge: the question is, have NRx found out that we actually live in a world where 'nuclear' weapons don'
t do anything? that's potentially one of the corellaries to the entire argument
the_scourge: oh yah he takes it as a manifesto. obviously my reaction would only be for those who are meticulously combing through UR, and haven'
t even bothered to have a gander at xenosystems yet
mircea_popescu: some people listen, most don'
t, which hey. sounds almost like irl.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell pete_dushenski if you got the guy's email by virtue of him commenting, and you don'
t mind, drop him a note saying i loathe blogspot, but if he has time drop by for a chat.
BigBitz: don'
t associate me with him ;)
the_scourge: i agree with everyone's sentiment regarding hipsters trying to figure out what ism they are. as someone who's had to earn all his priviledge, i went to uni with such people but cannot relate to them much. however didn'
t we just tell mr BigBitz and partner that it doesn'
t matter how hard you work, if you're working on the wrong thing?
the_scourge: pete_dushenski: well poseidon isn'
t wrong you are reactionary
mircea_popescu: actually it wouldn'
t surpriose me to find that's the process through which it was invented. all like nlp and shit, yarvin sat down and figured hey, this is going to positively attract the esl retards.
the_scourge: there are hundreds of writers. probably thousands like myself who haven'
t got a public profile.
the_scourge raises hand < don'
t call me a prick, no one else did
mircea_popescu: so let's leave aside the "therefore" bitcoin this and that, as i dun have the energy. instead, re "nrx" : i have little doubt that there are some kids in the us that thought the one repackaging of stuff they ran across is somehow more significant than all the repackagings they don'
t know, and definitely more significant than the originals. and that they need a name and so on. this exercise in nominalism does not instit
the_scourge: ppcoin is more of an agorist/WoT effort to get past that post. more activity, more coin-days, more legitimate: less chance of a grinding attack. until that point, you're hoping that the highly improbable does'
t happen. how is that different?
the_scourge: i don'
t see very much difference between that and PoW blockchains which have vulnerabilities early on, and can'
t be truly invulnerable until legitimate mining is consuming 51% of the earth's electricity
the_scourge: at some point, the checkpoints in ppcoin won'
t be needed
fluffypony: the_scourge: because with Bitcoin checkpoints are optional, and won'
t be needed eventually. with PeerCoin they will always be needed (for pure PoS).
the_scourge: erg sorry for multi line but this does not explain why peercoin's checkpoints won'
t work. we should call them something else if the word is causing a problem in discussing it
BigBitz: I just don'
t have my key on this terminal.
the_scourge: well it's true. my dad was smart enough to say shit like 'it doesn'
t matter how hard your working if the thing you're working on is useless', and yet today the highest academics actually think that this universal gnon rule can be broken because they invented more complexity?
fluffypony: the_scourge: he doesn'
t have a newsletter
mircea_popescu: pretty much born out of their poverty years, each academic spent some time going "well if i think of it really complicatedly, i won'
t be so hungry anymore and those won'
t really be cockroaches"
mircea_popescu: this is pretty much the "us academia" solution to everything. "make it more complicated, people won'
t notice"
the_scourge: 'cause reasons like 'keeping it anonymous AND democratic' don'
t fly for me anymore. butterin is worried about democracy or whatever, i'm past that point
fluffypony: the_scourge: PoS is not a terrible idea, it just doesn'
t work
Rippleflip_: mircea_popescu: i don'
t know. we set the price on the low end compared to other gambling site valuations
mircea_popescu: i dunno of any "profession" "industree" etc ever in history of mankind to be so fucking... i don'
t even know. inconsistent ? mixed ?
assbot: Logged on 05-02-2015 06:53:48; ben_vulpes: i know you don'
t like the guy, but nuking his record?
danielpbarron: doesn'
t the bot know your key if it knows you're in the l2?
punkman: we don'
t really do that anymore
phillipsjk: BingoBoingo, for some strange reason, I don'
t doubt you.
trinque: will my btcd still fart transactions at other nodes if I haven'
t finished syncing the blockchain?
ben_vulpes: phillipsjk: ya well bitcoin monetized, and monero hasn'
t yet and likely won'
t so that's the kind of comment that paints you as entirely ignorant of the domain.
phillipsjk: <ben_vulpes> anyways, block limit ain'
t going anywhere. it diddles important scarcity characteristics, and the system isn'
t even in steady-state yet.
ben_vulpes: anyways, block limit ain'
t going anywhere. it diddles important scarcity characteristics, and the system isn'
t even in steady-state yet.
trinque: you want to build your visa? build it on bitcoin, but don'
t systemd the thing and decide it must have a visa built in
