jurov: yes, like with wax. you'll have
to recreate
the stamp if you
tamper with it
jurov: and apply
the stamp
to
the solder
nubbins`: and whether
the resolution is great enough
jurov: cover
the privkey with another piece of metal, solder
together
jurov: we have put
together an idea - etch
the keys
to
the metal
mircea_popescu: basically, "let's make everything equal, in
the sense
that everything should suck"
mircea_popescu: well apparently
the notion
that if i pay someone 1mn a year i can afford
to pay for better health care
than if he barely pulls his weight at 10k a year is a mystery nao.
nubbins`: like,
the ceo can't even pay extra for a better plan?
mircea_popescu: who would pay
taxes in a fuckuntry where
they actually believe random clerk has
the same right
to survive as a ceo.
mircea_popescu: fuck practice. how dares it pretend
to work
that way in
theory.
nubbins`: that's ostensibly very egalitarian, got my doubts it'll work
that way in practice
nubbins`: even us canadians don't
take it
that far.
mircea_popescu: unrelatedly : did anyone know
that obamacare specifies it's illegal
to provide better health plans for
top executives
than you provide for rank and file clerks ?
mircea_popescu: kinda like being
the only guy at
the swinger's party with a chick with
total hysterectomy.
nubbins`: the appeal for me is
that i'm into coin collecting anyway
nubbins`: a
truly rare gem is a 2011 1btc WITHOUT a hologram error.
nubbins`: in fact, 1btc holo error coins are maybe one of
the more common sorts.
nubbins`: asciilifeform,
that's
the infamous "hologram error"
that noobs believe makes
the coins more valuable
nubbins`: would probably fetch a higher price
than my idea for bespoke public key shirts,
too
mircea_popescu: "this is
the original
tshirt. everyone else is just wearing copies."
pankkake: oh, it's not an original because
there is no original written on it. i get it!
nubbins`: it didn't even use
the same font
pankkake: finding
the way
to make cocks bigger is
the sure way
to becoming a billionnaire
nubbins`: asciilifeform: and yet
the only fakes i've seen have been brutally obvious
nubbins`: "shit, i've got
two bellheads now!"
mircea_popescu: i once put a shiny
thing on my cock and it got bigger.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` course you could make your own holosticks and fdill
the coins yourself.
nubbins`: "things are different, my
thinker doesn't work anymore"
mircea_popescu: the way
they packaged it at
the
time was
that womenz get scared in unfamiliar situations and
therefore must "have practice
nubbins`: plenty of forum rage, "how am i supposed
to know
the coins are funded! who do i
trust!" etc
pankkake: but
that clearly was
the result of
the high school mentality
pankkake: it was first year
though, second year was much more sane
nubbins`: "you send me x+y coins, i keep y coins, mail you shiny metal,
then send x coins
to your shiny metal"
mircea_popescu: i recall from my days in highschool
that
teh womenz mostly wanted
to do again and again
the same stuff as likely
to show up on
the bacalaureat
thingee.
nubbins`: mp, not sure why he didn't do
this in
the first place.
pankkake: I remember when on my programming exams some studends were protesting because
the
things
they had
to solve were "new problems"
nubbins`: i don't have a
third hand
to do a
triple-facepalm, so i'm using
the
table
pankkake: it's not really comparable. sokal wanted
to prove a point,
they just were bad and wanted a phd
nubbins`: "But how do you know
that
the privkey inside matches
the public key part? And how do you know
the privkey wasn't copied by someone before being sold
to you?
This
thing is far less secure
than a downloaded paper wallet!"
mircea_popescu: you can probably
train a well chosen monkey
to make one
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform problem with
this is
the chinese would produce numerous
triode valve procuders.
pankkake: well, you end up having most diplomas wether you're good or not; most diplomas mean nothing. I certainly wouldn't hire anyone who has my diplomas and nothing else
to show
mircea_popescu: i wonder what % of people are in
their situation by now.
pankkake: got
their phd because everyone was
tired of
them, and schemed
to have it delivered by a prestigious school,
though
they had nothing
to do with
that school
pankkake: bogdanov
twins are pretty much "tv scientists"
mircea_popescu: anyway, how often does an onslaught against humanities constructed around
the sokal hoaks end up blindised by a "o yeah ?! what about
the bogdanov
twins
then
mircea_popescu: because i was having a dispute with some lambsy over hierarchy,
truth and all
that.
mircea_popescu: "All
these were ideas
that could possibly make sense. It showed some originality and some familiarity with
the jargon.
That's all I ask."
mircea_popescu: "These guys worked for 10 years without pay.
They have
the right
to have
their work recognized with a diploma, which is nothing much
these days."
mircea_popescu: it's sort of like a petting zoo for
the mentally challenged.
mircea_popescu: twizt
they're kinda funny, in
their warrior forum retardation.
there was some dork coupla days earlier with his wave nonsense,
