ninjashogun: You're essentially saying everything I don'
t understand is deterministic (non-stochastic). Well, okay.
mircea_popescu: ninjashogun things you don'
t understand and things that are random don'
t share much common ground.
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, it's pretty hard not to see how making random USG accusations isn'
t exactly the same as using a made-up hot-button "she used DMCA take-downs"?
ninjashogun: asciilifeform, actually, scammers don'
t hvae a problem building up a WoT reputation as has been shown repeatedly through ultimately failed ponzi schemes, fraudulent exchanges, etc.
ninjashogun: mats_cd03, I didn'
t try to hire anyone here!
ninjashogun: asciilifeform, yes in the sense that several people here have said things like "I read thorugh that twice and don'
t see where USG comes in"
ninjashogun: mats_cd03, what do you mean "I offer to enslave you instead"? I didn'
t offer anything but told you you should do something in general terms, i.e. whatever you come up with. I didn'
t have a specific suggestion for oyu.
BingoBoingo: Just talked to the lawyer. As long as I stay patient I jsut might win this case through attrition, the DA... just... can'
t... retain... licensed... lawyers
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i didn'
t mean that color. i just meant, red prius roling headlights at white prius for being such a mainstream pos car.
mircea_popescu: ss your heart" Southern affectation of intense, polite agreement with everything that makes a mockery of any attempt at challenging conversation. Even when Bucky started ranting about various street artists and why they are or are not sellouts, Berry would strenuously agree, despite the fact that—and I don'
t think I'm speaking out of turn here—the street art scene in Branson is rather limited. Banksy's new piece? "
mircea_popescu: <pete_dushenski> they didn'
t forget as much as were attracted by the *new shininess* in the first place. now new thing is shiny. <<< or, moreover, aren'
t even bitcoin in any sense. notice the earlier guy with his strange "irc is insecure" notions. he probably thinks he's involved. his choices and mental processes however do not reflect that.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> some jobs simply do not parallelize. << i have trouble coming to terms with this concept. wtf do you mean ? they'd better parallelize or else can'
t work on a turing machine
BingoBoingo: It's the derps who see adds about hosting prices falling or staying constant and the connections offered increasing... Don'
t realize how infrequently... people who keep their own machines upgrade their connections... Unless they are running a data center.
Apocalyptic: BingoBoingo, pretty much, I wasn'
t being sarcastic
bounce: don'
t be silly. how did you think ma bell got to be big? it wasn'
t from lack of traffic!
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: and incidentally exactly, but EXACTLY how idiots just like gavin end up with mortgages they can'
t pay. << such forecasting these guys.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: moreover, the way net neutrality etc is going, not to mention the realpolitics of you know, actual wars, financial or otherwise, it wouldn'
t be surprising if in 20 years the average us citizen is on dialup << only then will their derping be tamed. when it actually costs something.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: and i don'
t care specifically because we want bitcoin to take over the financial, and with it the political power in the world. all of it. << so *that's* why we're here!
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: yet somehow the bitcoin crowd is supposed to have forgotten why it got into bitcoin in the first place, and apply the inflationary economy it's ran off from here << they didn'
t forget as much as were attracted by the *new shininess* in the first place. now new thing is shiny.
bounce: you don'
t like sparc and ppc either then?
bounce doesn'
t begin to have the soldering skills for that. or the rest of the ee skills. will have to work on that.
mircea_popescu: check it out, that's a choke ain'
t it. 2 on >200 1 on < 600
xanthyos: i just don'
t want to spend hours a week comparing the lengths of my fingernails anymore.
hanbot: i don'
t put too much stock in the whole dsm classification stuffs.
thestringpuller: xanthyos: one of my closest friends has schizoaffective disorder. there was a point when he was having tons of episodes everyday that he couldn'
t really leave the house. But he's doing better now because better treatment is out. Just stick with it mang.
xanthyos: i haven'
t had a girlfriend since 2004
kakobrekla: x<xanthyos> maybe danielpbarron is right when he says i'm brain damaged and i can'
t trust my own judgment < its good you figured this before buying a bottle of vodka and walking into the woods. just listen to us.
xanthyos: maybe danielpbarron is right when he says i'm brain damaged and i can'
t trust my own judgment
mike_c: my once-a-month pace already strains my time for writing. i don'
t think i'm the right fit for a newsroom.
mircea_popescu: mike_c i don'
t think he was proceeding very calculatedly tbh.
mircea_popescu: Tapeke is the first personal finance application specifically designed for Bitcoin. We help Bitcoiners to keep track of their Bitcoin expenses and incomes and ..." << you couldn'
t possibly mean that ?!
Quinn_: mircea didn'
t you create a porn site under a false name and stolen content?
Quinn_: other than one article citing you as a romanian billionaire which doesn'
t exactly sound in any way legit.
Quinn_: and I know nothing about you, a quick google search doesn'
t reveal anything either
Quinn_: I did it in my spare time between commissions, since it wasn'
t a source of income so around 3 months
mircea_popescu: hm, irc chats are actually the pinnacle of trustworthy, you just don'
t know about how it all works yet.
Quinn_: I don'
t arrange commissioned work through irc chats, not very trustworthy.
mircea_popescu: i mean sure, it all fits neatly, "prior to the soviet state and everywhere outside of it kids had it rough and didn'
t even get any icecream"
mircea_popescu: bounce i wouldn'
t credit post-libtard revolution descriptions of history.
Quinn_: well I don'
t know what type of cartoons you want, so i can'
t tell you if i can agree to it or not.
chetty: BingoBoingo, thats a point, with all the drought that should have broken out, haven'
t seen anything about it
chetty: I don'
t think they even need actual disease now, the fear may be enough
mircea_popescu: chetty this is roughly like the "can'
t get aids from mosquitoes/bugs
mircea_popescu: i don'
t get this. you telling me it's specifically because obama is a kenyan citizen ?
BingoBoingo: I have a gut feeling that the big reason more US'ians don'
t follow through with their going to Canada threats is that Canada is too close to what they are leaving. That and Canada doesn'
t really want them.
mike_c: last i heard we had hit moon and were aiming for mars. but i don'
t keep track.
bounce: though as time went on I find myself watching less and less video. curious how that works, or doesn'
t.
bounce doesn'
t see that happen in a bit. just like the peecee business is in a bit of a slump, because, well, there's only so much cpu power reasonably wastable on eyecandy.
bounce: so it's maybe a bit early to decide there won'
t be bandwidth because there won'
t be drive. may be. maybe not. it's not a given either way.
bounce: oh I haven'
t really kept up with that. maybe I should read up. but the point in the very general sense is that we don'
t know yet how we're going to waste tomorrow's bandwidth. you know, like youtube is quite a thing these days, but only can exist because availability of >>dialup bandwidths
mircea_popescu: now this is a very distant, removed argument. but that doesn'
t entirely destroy it. sure, it's useless in a 5 year discussion.,
mircea_popescu: there substantially isn'
t something as interesting to people.
bounce: well, there's the thing. the phone system didn'
t really improve substantially until someone found a reason to repurpose that last mile for DSL. even if that DSL now mostly carries crap better carried some other way, or not at all.
bounce: but it doesn'
t sound useful. 8k HD cat videos is silly already now.
bounce: in 170 years? doesn'
t sound unreasonable, provided we keep up the pace.
thickasthieves: jurov, ok, maybe all mp meant by being the financial center is that HE is the center, and since we orbit around him, we aren'
t careening into the abyss
mircea_popescu: it can;
t be heh, isn'
t gentoo the offical hipster distro atm ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: A bit of drama in the convo. Haven'
t finished it myself.
mircea_popescu: effects aren'
t the consideration here. the cause is the consideration.
bounce: well, it'd exclude anyone who couldn'
t keep up
BingoBoingo: jurov: People here don'
t usually bother heat... They bother cooling though
BingoBoingo: Well... in the future it won'
t always be the dumb ones stealing
jurov: main trunka aren'
t copper since 20 yrs ago
jurov: the latter you can'
t simply burn off of the plasitc
mircea_popescu: and incidentally exactly, but EXACTLY how idiots just like gavin end up with mortgages they can'
t pay.
mircea_popescu: in short : just because your tits grew up 100% a week for half a year starting on your eleventh birthday doesn'
t mean jack. for one thing, the first cubic centimetre happened then.
mircea_popescu: moreover, the way net neutrality etc is going, not to mention the realpolitics of you know, actual wars, financial or otherwise, it wouldn'
t be surprising if in 20 years the average us citizen is on dialup
mircea_popescu: they got the "global financial blabla" quite well pegged, they figure, why won'
t we just eat some crums ?
mircea_popescu: govt wants it the other way around, so why won'
t we be nice people and just make bitcoin a sort of replacement for sms payments already.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo but see, the question is : govt doesn'
t want to be a wholly owned subsidiary of bitcoin, and used as such, with its scrip a sort of ltc.
mircea_popescu: and i don'
t care specifically because we want bitcoin to take over the financial, and with it the political power in the world. all of it.
mircea_popescu: and no, im not gonna think about the spooks. i couldn'
t give less of a shit that some single mom's ugly children are starving because her no fee half bitcent bitbet bet didn'
t get into any of sixty consecutive blocks.
mircea_popescu: go1111111 yes, you say "is used" meaning "is used to denote". but the two different things it's used to denote aren'
t unrelated. they're just facets of the same phenomeno.
go1111111: the bad consequences of not having a limited currency base are clear (inflation). a larger block size won'
t lead to currency inflation, but blockchain inflation and some higher bandwidth requirements. That seems to have very different consequences.
mircea_popescu: discussions about reefed out derps about "global financial infrastructure" are nil and void. you don'
t even know what it is in th efirst place.
Apocalyptic: mircea, may well be... that's why the ultimate solution is: don'
t let them get their hands on it
Apocalyptic: the blocksize limit is essentially tied to what bitcoin is, even if you can'
t see it
mircea_popescu: einstein never got the damned formula out because luce irigaray didn'
t see why he'd privilege the speed of light over other speeds that are so much more important to us. and so on.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: mike_c no but really, "i don'
t see". let's all go to the hospital and start derping, "i don'
t see why i'd have to take my clothes off"
mike_c: <+mircea_popescu> i don';
t giuve a shit what usefullness you see or don'
t see. << another contender for the b-a tagline :)
