ozbot: P versus NP problem - Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia
ohider: is
the game up when
this is solved?
mircea_popescu: going from
the fringe fave
to
the mainstream clone is a move few survive
mircea_popescu: seeing how possibly
the onl;y
thing keeping ltc alive is
the insistent dedication of people who wish
to mine but can't afford asics
ohider: I hear
this shit about bitcoin needs litecoin like gold needs silver. Is
the next investment a coin
that is impervious
to asic?
ohider: will asic do
to litecoin what it did
to bitcoin ?
ohider: who is long on litecoin being
that scrypt asic is coming down
the line
ohider: dude is a dev and homeless by choice. A "Into
the Wild"
type dude
Duffer1: oh dunno didn't read, is he surviving on coins he already had or is he magically earning something from nothing like
the wired article?
ohider: the second one about
the guy w/ solar panel and
tablet
Duffer1: 650+ a day clicking 12 videos
that pay .00000001 per click
ohider: whats
the motivation of media covering
that story?
ohider: Duffer1 why is
that article about homeless dude horseshit?
Duffer1: i like namecoin, i'd have a very small position if
things were different
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Nah. School boosters generally have a motivation for paying student athletes in
that
the more homework
the athlete can afford
the moar handegg
they can practice and hopefully
the more
the
team wins. What
the athlete in
this scheme would probably end with is not
the Bitcoins, but some other value for which Bitcoins provide a measure of plausible deniability.
pankkake: didn't read
the article but sounds like
the usual hype
Duffer1: did you read
that article?
ohider: fuck why not
there an article about a homeless guy who has a
tablet and a solar panel
that lives off bitcoin
BingoBoingo: Duffer1:
That much is probably unreasonable, but Bitcoin could be away for school's boosters
to continue continuting
to athletes as
they have always done, and probably in richer amounts.
Duffer1: you would need an enormous amount of bitcoins
to pay college athletes what
they bring in for
their states annually
ohider: if you are buying large amounts of bitcoin,
the seller will remember you
BingoBoingo: ohider: Nah, it is fine if people remember you buying. It might also be helpful with
that little
trust business...
ohider: if you are buying bitcoin with cash its best
to do it all over
the country so no one remembers you so you would need
to
travel some
ohider: the costs would be plane flights and use
to buy bitcoin
ohider: buy bit coins
through localbitcoin.com all across
the country and use
those
to pay your atheletes
ohider: shit ok i need
to do some more work
BingoBoingo: I dunno Bitcoin might be a great way
to get around NCAA prohibitions on paying college athletes if it is done right.
ozbot: 2012 Harvard cheating scandal - Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia
Duffer1: wouldn't you want something without a public ledger if you don't want
to worry about getting expelled?
Duffer1: using bitcoin would be a good way
to get caught
pankkake: but you expect people
to "tip" for homework? I don't see
the relation
to reddit
ohider: and also use bitcoin
to pay student athletes
ohider: if people want
to steal ideas and resubmit
theres no stopping
that but if students can have a way of getting paid
the motivation of doing school work is changed
ohider: a legitimate way of getting paid for
the work
that you do in class
ohider: if bitcoin
tip works on reddit would
that system work on a website
that students can post
their work?
pankkake: oh god I forgot about mouse
trails
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
Thanks. I'm still contemplating other elements of dated 90's web aesthetics I could incorporate without succumbing
to animated Gifs.
twizt: is
that unconfirmed bal?
BingoBoingo: Thankfully
the WoT doesn't depend on Nickserv's security
mircea_popescu: twizt write all your pws down, encrypt
the file
to your gpg key.
ohider: i have an idea
that I want
to get some feedback on
ohider: with EMF weapons who needs walls just
tell people what/where
to go
mod6: the walls
they build
to keep out
the mexicans will someday keep
the fleeing americans out of mexico
Duffer1: the political discussion when it comes
to latinos circles almost exclusively on immigration
truffles: maybe
the latino's are shooting
the blacks?
mircea_popescu: it's kinda funny
to watch all
the aggitation over
the black minority from afar.
there's about 50% more latino people in
the us, nobody is all
too excited about
THEIR poor prospects and poor access
Duffer1: i mean really who cares about all
them blacks killin eachother
truffles: 3:00-3:11 is my fav of
that clip
truffles: doesnt coke make u skinny
though
mircea_popescu: need somewhat of a el che look
to pull off crazy in a cool way.
mircea_popescu: nothing funnier
than a very excited conspiracy
theorist
that looks like a bank clerk
mircea_popescu: best part about alex jones i discovered is
that hes kinda flabby fat
Duffer1: a retard vs a british pundit
talking about american gun control
Duffer1: i can't even remember why i read
the whole post..
Duffer1: i'm afraid
to load
the comments
pankkake: my source is French,
then googled
the first stuff I could find. what's infowars?
kakobrekla: you link infowars, im starting
to belive gw is real
ozbot: » Global Warming Scientists Still
Trapped In Record-Level Antarctic Ice Alex Jones' Infowars:
Ther
the20year1: He's always interesting
to
talk
to, asside from owning a dozen or so subways,
the company he ran had gross sales of $30m-$40m a year
truffles: the list of questions id have
to ask is
too much
to resolve
this in my mind, so ill end here :D
the20year1: and he had quite a bit of statistics from various employment firms, since most fast food workers were so
transient
the20year1: They continue
to
take polls and check data, and every single
time workers were asked,
they were all willing
to quit and change
their job
to work at a bank for minimum wage, just because of
the percieved class difference between fast food and working at a bank
the20year1: For instance, a good friend of mine owned about a dozen subways (Sub shops), and
they paid about $8/hr starting wage, work
there for a year and you're up
to $12 a hour if you don't make management (most do by
that point) and you're up
to $14
mircea_popescu: part of
them
through being homeless/bums. part
through pretending
to be sick.
mircea_popescu: 8% of
the people actively looking for a job can't find one. 30% or so of
the people who could work do not
the20year1: There's a huge percieved difference between jobs, so much so
that people are willing a 50% pay cut for something
that
they percieve as a good job
mircea_popescu: KRS|Gotyawallet> bekay I
think its near 8% << depends how you count it
KRS|Gotyawallet: most welders don't only weld
they are also fabricators and
that is why
the20year1: Around here, if you're a decently skilled welder
the rates are ~$100/hr
the20year1: There's a pretty good bit of information on
the problem from mike rowe
benkay: maybe
they should get a job as a welder
benkay: pankkake: same with anyone opening
that link. what of it?
the20year1: The ones
that
take 6-12 months of on
the job
training before you have somewhat reasonable skill and can go under a contractor, a few years
there and you can write your own
ticket
truffles: so ure
talking about skilled labor not
the jobs
that random joes can get
pankkake: KRS|Gotyawallet: anyone opening
that link at work just lost
their jobs. congratulations!
