douchebag: mircea_popescu: Well, my main issue is that I don't work for free. I'm not going to spend time working on a project that I will not even be compensated for when I could be spending my time working on projects that I will compensated for.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: even in moscow
asciilifeform: 'middle class rich' folx are typically inch short of being flat broke. ( this is likely not a surprise to mircea_popescu )

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 3MEv is , if the satellite folx are to be believed, squarely above the boundary where enuff energy is transferred to flip bit , but not so much as to thermonuke the semiconductor
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: rough figure
a111: Logged on 2018-06-16 15:10 mircea_popescu: afaik no nm addressable items even exist. tho they should.
asciilifeform: but possibly , idk, what did mircea_popescu have, gold-embroidered epaulettes ? diamond cuffs ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you dun need nm addressing, or much of any addressing, tho, random flippage of sram would handily suffice for just about any defritzing job
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ha. hence why i said 'yes 1m, if buying usg'
asciilifeform: i recall (but for some reason cannot find in logz..) mircea_popescu discovering this several yrs ago

asciilifeform: is mircea_popescu's version that he , for some unknown reason all from same handful of ip, actually put them on the chan ..?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu resolved the contradiction tho
asciilifeform: not same degree of credibility. i can't picture mircea_popescu sitting and cooking up random faux chix ( why?! ) whereas can easily picture bored 19yo zek doing same
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm persuaded that yours exist ( mircea_popescu is not in the habit of making ??? up from 0 , and did post his spamatron src and overall methodology )
a111: Logged on 2018-06-15 17:23 mircea_popescu: oh which reminds me! yo douchebag whatever came of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-08#1794007 ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'sov struggle with rock music' is a massive reservoir of lulz largely even to this day untapped by entomologists. ( they tried something like a conditional surrender )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: does it ever happen that ~nonugly~ nonhambeast demands 'your queen' and cage measurement , or is the linkage unbroken

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm not even convinced that 'purposeful newton' is artifact of socialist schooling; meatsacks without the exploratory instinct the gods gave dog, cat, rat, are doomed to believe in some variant of this
a111: Logged on 2018-06-14 18:26 mircea_popescu: hence the whole http://trilema.com/2017/is-it-still-rape-if-i-write-science-on-my-penis-first/ discussion and so on.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-06 15:09 mircea_popescu: which is how every god damned kid that was sexually abused through the process of socialist schooling (which is all of them -- education is education, and socialist school is definitionally sexual abuse of all children involved) ends up with the idea that newton sat down TO discover whatever he did (unimportant, really) and THEREFORE he did.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-14 18:34 mircea_popescu: it took me all of half week to find the bitcoin-otc in 2011, and this considering a) i hadn't been on irc in a decade ; b) i thought computers are idiotic and computer dweebs idiotic-er still for simply being involved with them ; c) was looking for sufficient cause to dismiss this bitcoin bullshit.

asciilifeform: ( possibly unlike mircea_popescu , asciilifeform does not believe that dutch was necessarily a defective 20 y.o. )
asciilifeform: lobbes: i suspect that mircea_popescu nails it, prolly unlikely that anybody will ever overcome the radiation damage from being 70 y.o. and collecting usg pensions
phf: in before mircea_popescu's "must be one line"
asciilifeform: trinque: sorta why i sometimes try and apply the excavator to other folx. but it to date always ended the same uninteresting way, and the most parsimonious hypothesis re why is afaik mircea_popescu's
asciilifeform: well i managed to escape finding mircea_popescu for >1yr ( and even then had to be dug up with excavator ) but possibly i went to wrong kindergarten..
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: upstack -- do i misunderstand the model, or is the idea 'troo unbonsaikittened mind , proceeding from cause, will find the republic on own engine power, guaranteed' ?
asciilifeform: ( i can name example, but curious re what mircea_popescu has in mind )
asciilifeform: what , in the abstract, does he want, that mircea_popescu finds intrinsically retarded ?

asciilifeform: 'homo picketfenceicus' or how did mircea_popescu describe these.
