mircea_popescu: i'd vote for a guy who beat up a redditard. how bad can he be ? he got the basics right.
mircea_popescu: i trust the pantsuit clown party is well butthurt over the serious threat to ourdemocracy presented by inept child behaviour meeting some sort of correction in practice.
mircea_popescu: most puns dun work, most wisdom is folly, sometrhing something the holly./
mircea_popescu: anyway. the problem with wine is that better wine and expensive wine do not well correlate. for the past 40 or so years europe sat on a lake of wine. you can have perfectly fine wines for the cost of the bottling, you can also spend as-much-as-you-want for idiot veblen americana.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes fwiw there's a "new, better, altenrative" for everything every week. kinda what the you know, "people ready with a gameplan if they suddenly got rich" spend their time with.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in dreamerland, "Join us on "Style Code Live" daily to connect, shop and chat live with fashion designers, beauty experts and celebrities! Discover today's best beauty hacks and the top style secrets!"
mircea_popescu: (don't pluck live ducks -- you're supposed to wring neck first, steep in boiling water 2nd, then pluck ; don't chase pig around with meat cleaver, you need dagger to cut its jugular first.)
mircea_popescu: or did "douchecanoe" fail coinage ? i recall all sorta sheilas pushing it pretty hard a few years back.
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, in the dinner date conversation ideas, "who'd win a fight between the greatest douchecanoe and the worst shitlord ???"
mircea_popescu: how the fuck their thinkers work i have no idea, but probably something with symmetrical scintillations.
mircea_popescu: right right, because it's irreproducible AND THEREFORTE VALUABLE.
mircea_popescu: "here's something else than what i was talking about doing something else than what i was talking about, therefore."
mircea_popescu: you wouldn't want to do it again. this is a cosmo kramer idea.
mircea_popescu: you will... know because you measure the distance, and because no masking epiphenomena may exist ? really ? because your clocks work so well that they can be used against photons themselves, and calipers ditto ?
mircea_popescu: this is almost better than the nuclear pykrete submersible aircraft.
mircea_popescu: if it interacts, it changes. after it set one, no longer same gamma photon.
mircea_popescu: " only co-incident (on 2 detectors) gamma is picked up" requires i break fundamental qm.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger it's just "in principle", aka "only happens to niggers, couldn't happen here, we're pravoslavniks!"
mircea_popescu: which is why "open source" is fundamentally useless. the poor idiots trying to hallucinate the poor idiot world where they can't be cut down for being poor idiots.
mircea_popescu: the principle is solid : the fact that someone from stanford published a shitty piece means THE WHOLE USG is now negrated, if there's not a lower node to negrate.
mircea_popescu: old царь-государь press law was plain : author, responsible ; if can't be found, editor ; if can't be fouind , owenr ; if can't be found - typograpgher.
mircea_popescu: "the whole thing, mp" "yeah well, that happened three seconds in."
mircea_popescu: anyway. the overarching point is that risk per se is not the problem. unmanageable risk, of the sort that arises in poorly defined situations, is the problem. which is why open source is fundamentally useless, be it in the fdorm of ubuntu, or wikipedia. who do i negrate ?
mircea_popescu: "water -- literally falls from the sky, and he BUYS it." afghan would have a lulz.
mircea_popescu: and obviously "oh but x could backstab you". yes, he could. and in the process give me proof he did.
mircea_popescu: if it did fit, it did fit, and if it didn't fit it's not there.
mircea_popescu: not at 0.1 btc, certainly, but as mod6 points out, not 0 either.
mircea_popescu: should i need entropy i'd rather wotbuy it than os-"make" it
mircea_popescu: i can conceive that i'd trust x to rng more than i'd trust myself, in some conditions.
mircea_popescu: i'm not even sure what this is about. you have some sort of objection to other people platying with the bots or ?
mircea_popescu: point remains, you can watch some guy gettiung a lapdance for free. same here, won't have your name on it, that's all.
mircea_popescu: if they share them or not... hey, they don't share fucking textbooks.
mircea_popescu: maybe. though this would be more like "price of lap dance". which is not 0.
mircea_popescu is vaguely amused at how wanna-be ronin slavegirl imagines "there's a lo of cryptocurrencies now". ie, there's n oconspiracy needed, the poor idiots will simply HALLUCINATE the poor idiot world. be it there or not.
mircea_popescu: original is likely the trilema piece about "Future of bitcoin", predicting how people are going to do the most stuipid thing, and explaining how it's not for fucking sneakers.
mircea_popescu: (auction <opening bid (coppers)> <duration (hours)> <item/lot>) -- e.g. !Qauction 3,5mn 2 57 IMP CH, d 32197 ea
mircea_popescu: mod6 i can't imagine lobbes 's have any issue lending the bot, once this is all in place.
mircea_popescu: kinda how this works. by the timpe peopple pay bots here for rng, we're simply owning the world and no more. which is why i said maybe premature.
mircea_popescu: might be a market in "Certified entropy" simply because of how bureaucracy works.
mircea_popescu: 7393bd23794cf8175da5d2dd3f3bb47a7c340bf20cc6ef1f5dd871204119d86988e37b0e32c9b7665a05bd3912a8f83f3bebe3c2c7fc20ff177219ef35c47c25 << random number based on curl
http://btcbase.org/log/ | sha512sum ; as primo as it gets!
mircea_popescu: mod6 i'd imagine price'd work out to somewthing like double the commercial cost of bw, or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and fucking is also intrinsically promisetronic. so what of it ? most of the things we do and enjoy are founded onm promise.
mircea_popescu: if they're happy with hash(x) can get entropy right now by curl google.com > sha512sum.
mircea_popescu: iuf thyey want prng, they can has. if they do not, they can has. rest is really not my problem.
mircea_popescu: you can not promise gpg is just aes. neither can they.
mircea_popescu: you recall, the item with the sha-1 "fingerprints" etc.
mircea_popescu: you don't know what stupid shit gpg does to it while encrypting.
mircea_popescu: could take the logs and sha them a billion times, whatever.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they can distill it from their keyboard, if that's what they want.
mircea_popescu: i suspect most of the .1 btc you came up with is payment friction, rather than anything else.
mircea_popescu: might work as a bot service. esp once trinque finishes payments.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dun take my word for it, make page that returns request and archive it.
mircea_popescu: that's why iot can even see google in the first place.
mircea_popescu: jurov actually does request as forwarded from your ip.
