to have started jan 2013,
then
taken a 11 month break
to december
ThickAsThieves: bitcoinx is pretty old, i doubt anyone here runs it
too
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> a master machinist eats very well even
today. << yes, but he's not in a union is he.
mircea_popescu: they rationalize away "oh but bitcoin will never be smarter
than us". sure it won't.
then mp comes, and you're beyond fucked.
davout: we do get some press, but usually it's paymium
that's mentioned
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete
that's EXACTLY where
the bad news starts for
them.
benkay: what do you
take me for?!
benkay: look, end-users are responsible for
their own security. it's not fucking secure.
benkay: look,
there are no exchanges.
there's no exchange rate.

Apocalyptic: "The recent collapse of bitcoin exchange Mr. Gox has caused alarm in
the industry about
the stability and security of
the virtual currency" //
they must include
that everywhere...
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] [PAID] 2.33749062 BTC

hdbuck: asciilifeform: nothing, just
that he confirmed
to me
that banks have already started
to deal with btc behind
the curtain
hdbuck: analysts at Citi Group
told me he got offered
to have his sort of pension fund in BTC?! such pokerface
those banks. ^^
blackwhite: welding robots do not have
to design
their own cars for cars
to be designed automatically
ozbot: It’s
The People, Not
The Protocol, Stupid | When Bitcoin Met Pete
bitcoinpete: "In manufacturing,
technology eliminates and relocates jobs, but welding robots will never design
their own cars. It ain’t gonna happen. In finance, jobs on Wall Street and in
The City will be eaten up by Bitcoin, but
the invention of
the distributed blockchain can’t replace creativity and
trust. Kurzweil’s singularity be damned."
mircea_popescu: this is what
the us army has come
to be, btw :
those blondish dudes in a buzz cut with glasses.
wao-ender: Studies suggest
that higher doses of xanthones may depress
the central nervous system in animals and cause sedation.
ozbot: No hazardous cargo, just
tonnes of mangosteens on flight MH370, says airline CEO -
The Malaysian In
wao-ender: > which,
to me, suggests
there was something either hidden in
the mangosteens or
the manifest is fraudulent
wao-ender: > i don't see how
they can make
that up from shipping 3-4
tons of mangosteens
Mats_cd03: we'll find out six years from now
that
they've been dead all along and were never actually on
the island
wao-ender: 'military' hm, how can you know
that military doesn't hiding something from public?
mircea_popescu: yeah, wouldn't make much sense
to limit
themselves
to
that.
Apocalyptic: pretty sure military radars don't give a fuck about
transponders or not
chetty: well
then we get
to how may military vs civiliand radars along
the way
chetty: I wonder have radar setups gotten lazy?
that is only bothering
to look for
transponders?
mircea_popescu: radar is basically video in lower wavelengths, it's not
that different.
Apocalyptic: I suppose you could achieve
that with a special setup with multiple coordinated radars
Apocalyptic: either it reflects
the waves or it doesn't
wao-ender: dunno how
they made it, but
this conspiracy with sia68 is really interesting
wao-ender: I
think mh370 flying at different altitude
mircea_popescu: leaving aside how incredibly dangerous it is (engines also need air, may likely stop etc), it's just not possible
to smoothy fly
that way
mircea_popescu: and you'll probably fall for 100s of feet at a
time because of inertia etc.
mircea_popescu: basically if you
try
to fly a boeing behind another you'll just fall
mircea_popescu: in order for it
to generate enough force
to keep all
those
tons in
the air it has
to have a certain density and flow pattern
mircea_popescu: anyway, getting back
to
the airflow problem : in racing
the road keeps
the cars up, but in flight planes are kept up by
their drag
Apocalyptic: anyway satellite pictures should determine
that
mircea_popescu: if
they actally
thought
that
they'd have reported
the aliens invading o.O
mircea_popescu: so how do you figure
two 80 meter long objects a mile apart could appear
the same one object
wao-ender: also, I'm reading,
there was 50 seats blocked for some special cargo on
the plane?
mircea_popescu: there are occasionally accidents where a car follows a leader
too close and ends up losing contact with
the ground because of
the disrupton in airflow
mircea_popescu: in racing however
the road is
there
to keep
the cars up, and
turbulence only causes a problem at high speeds, because
the cars are designed so
that
the air pushes
them on
the ground.
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, he could stay at a reasonable safe distance while still being close enough
to show as 1 spot on
the radars imo
wao-ender: I
think for upthrust is one km still safe
mircea_popescu: in fact, it's unsafe for
them
to be even within one kilometer of each other.
Mats_cd03: dinosaurs behaving like
the world still belongs
to
them
ozbot: Twitter / JamesKerLindsay:
Turkey occupying Cyprus discusses ...
ozbot: Turkish PM
to hold consultations with Azerbaijan on Crimea -
Trend.Az | Mobile version
cazalla: i breed NZ whites for meat, some of
them would do
the exact same
thing or even bite if i harassed
them as in
that video
cazalla: patting a rabbit with an open palm (as in
the video) blocks it's vision which can make it become defensive
hdbuck: im new
too, delighted
to finally make it
to
the high sphere, have read
the logs about what happened on
the 4th of feb.. still
trying
to figure it all out. cheers. :)
mircea_popescu: isthisreallyreal you need

that site!
kakobrekla: or you can chop
them up and make a nice wooden
table
isthisreallyreal: A user from bitcointalk refered me here
to gain some more experince about bitcoin in generel.
isthisreallyreal: haha, not
that basic! I'm just wondering exactly what you're
talking about here:)
kakobrekla: then

they wish
to do so
kakobrekla: you
