mod6: <+mircea_popescu> asciilifeform aws can definitely not be part of our canonical stuff huh. << agreed. i'll continue to get my sea-legs with what I've got so far, but what we end up supporting in the end will be a gentoo on a bare-rails environment. unless any objections?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not if they spin it as 'out coin is donated to offset carbon credits for mother gaia' or whatnot
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski they didn't do their homework at all. they're a very easy target for the "eco" lobby, and will be murdered as they can't afford to pay those leeches.

pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: into the depths i go.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: what's your take on 21 and their race to toasterise mining ?
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: it's a remote for 'iPnohe'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: these usually specialize in selective quotation, rather than wholesale confabulation - but devil only knows.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://i.imgur.com/u7MgpbF.png << ripped out of google bookturd
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i am still curious re: your hypothesis. was it that usg will not claim the remaining unmined btc, or that it doing so is uninteresting to us ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: could just as well throw the comment to the chickens then
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: ok, then obtaining confirmations for said double-spend transaction ?
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski how do you imagine you test that ?
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i don't work with 'oh noez', but i like testable hypotheses
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: within 100 years, we will -all- be as deadly as pirate... ☟︎
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i'm trying to understand your counter here. is it that usg pocketing the last 1/3 of btc is not annoying? or that double-spends are not a problem ? or... what ?
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: not suggesting that 'something is to be done111!!!111!1' about this
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu will probably suggest that cn, ru, etc. will follow suit with -their- tv boxes ☟︎
asciilifeform: see mircea_popescu's essay about 'they are fine with being late to parties, they know they can steal the cake whenever'
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i meant, for the prediction of increase
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: what is the basis for this prediction ?
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: and what other player will catch up with this, do you suppose, and how ? ☟︎

trinque: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_Norton
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: -this- is what 'currying favour with governments' looks like
trinque: pete_dushenski: the declaration of a thing is not what makes it so
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: depends on what you think of as 'matters'
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: the only actual problem they will have is fighting over the coin itself.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: it'll be in his cable box, and if he doesn't like it, he will have to quit tv
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: no more than today
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: the beauty is that no one will ask the chump if he wants to cover the costs
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: burn their houses down how? these won't be packaged as traditional miners, recall. it'll be in cable boxes, etc. that folks get 1 or 2 of
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: why not? classic, grade-a chumpatron. the actual costs (mains power) are 100% externalized to the chumps.
asciilifeform: incidentally, this is an ancient idea: http://www.halfbakery.com/idea/broadcast_20cryptanalysis
asciilifeform: trinque: they read the 2013 #b-a log and accepted mircea_popescu's assertion that they will have problems keeping mining secret

ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> anyway, this entire "send kids to oxbridge" meme is very novel, and it comes off the same trunk that made the "buy uk football teams". << i've always planned to hire tutors.
asciilifeform: (from mircea_popescu's link the other day)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what is the 'actual elite' in question ?

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: He has his own startup nao and every press release I get that feeling like I need to run to the hospital and get an ultrasound on my scrotum again (to bee fair it feels good man https://encyclopediadramatica.se/Feels_good_man)

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: They think it is pissing
copypaste: mircea_popescu: It's not what I say. These peopole hold me accountable for what anonymous users do.
copypaste: I can implement it as soon as you're ready by adding /pol/, /v/ and /i/ to the banned_boards thing and then changing the ad code.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Baphomet is the devil board that doxxed the evil Judge Forrest

copypaste: mircea_popescu: Some boards don't have a-ads. The agreement with the hosting company is that for some boards, they put their own ads, but I don't know how much those make. In turn they don't send me a bill.
