mircea_popescu: ah, finally found the truely iconic max hardcore. http://38.media.tumblr.com/420b56522634f8c1627ed7a7cbbf8aa2/tumblr_nf7a5gTifT1tlw46uo1_500.gif

Adlai: ultimately funkenstein_'s article could consist entirely of a link to http://bitcoin.sipa.be/growth.png
jurov: mircea_popescu yes it did, nm
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: "miners care deeply who owns a pool" - we're getting into the realm of the anecdotal here, the mining farms I supply ASIC racks to don't care about the people running the pools they use at all, and they don't run their own
Adlai is genuinely curious to see whether funkenstein_'s criticism extends beyond "this behavior is not rational, for me and my rational friends"
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ we left aside the idiots in question and are discussing the theoretic theory.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: how is what not?
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ i'd read it.
fluffypony: funkenstein_: the game theoretic Nash Equilibrium stuff isn't bogus, as far as I can see

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: there is some key, somewhere, supposedly associated with the character.
asciilifeform: since mircea_popescu is asleep, i shall fill in for him, and point out that: not signed - not vouched for by anyone in wot - may as well be a piece of litter on the street.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: did he sign'em ?
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: it is difficult to imagine that cia employee would have no concept of what usg dishes out to the rest of the planet (as well as own subjects)
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: at any rate, snowden deserves his share of being pissed on for his failure to say 'yes, if you are a servant of usg i want to see your miserable existence end on headsoff.com'
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: it is the 'sympathy' of torquemada for the heretic
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: the interesting, and perhaps nonobvious - tidbit - is that these folks -actually- perceive 'american law' and 'god's law' (whether or not they worship any gods) to be one and the same
assbot: Logged on 22-03-2015 02:22:03; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the problem with jurisdictions discussed recentlier is deeper than it seems. plenty of usians do not think other places are "real places".
