pankkake: I wouldn't go back
to anything non IPS
dexX7: there was a small discussion about korean ips monitors with
ThickAsThieves and kakobrekla some weeks ago.. i ended up buying
two dell u2412m and had a 27" here earlier, but it was
too big. but i have
to say: ips displays are nice
pankkake: well
this one is pretty much an egotrip, and you should be an endless source of
that
mircea_popescu: pankkake
this ain't a penis contest, it doesn't have
to be long, it has
to be
thick
mircea_popescu: If we are going
to get
there eventually, we might as well get
there soon.
mircea_popescu: Make a graph with
time on
the x-axis and formatting capabilities on
the y-axis. Draw a line from
the HTML level 1
to HTML level 3. You'll see
that HTML reaches LaTeX's level of formatting capability around
the year 2000.
mircea_popescu: this is one of
those situations where
the spec may only grow. you're free
to add css into
the spec, but you are not allowed
to "stop supporting"
table elements or w/e
mircea_popescu: blessfully ignorant of
the guy's pov. but fuck you html standards people.
mircea_popescu: Look folks, I know
that software rot (sometimes called "progress")

the pope starts using btc.
then church finances become slightly more auditable.

the idea of a secretary is
that he/sh checks your mail so you can work

they didn't do
that in
the Vatican Library
too. set fire
to all of Benedict's papers
sbp: I love
that
they deleted all
the old pope's
tweets
sbp: but he got his secretary
to send it... :-)
sbp: he sent an hilarious email
to a
team
that a friend of mine was involved in, in about 2005 or so
sbp: mircea_popescu: Knuth cheats at email, by
the way
dexX7: most active altcoin

ozbot: Official DOGECOIN
T-Shirt from Zazzle.com
dexX7: i
think
the altcoin winner of
the month is dogecoin
mircea_popescu: i
think child pageants is what soccer moms do after
the
thrill of control soccer provides is no longer enough
mircea_popescu: in
the sense mineral water is a friendly phrase for vodka

the first Child Friendly Coin
sbp: need
to exercise your faucal cords, heh
nubbins`: the double consonants are odd
too
nubbins`: how many
times would i have
to repeat my address
to
the
taxi driver 10
times
sbp: of course,
then I had problems making a non-aspirated p...
sbp: eventually I realised
that *all* of my p's are aspirated!
sbp: nubbins`: I
tried learning Hangul once. I had problems doing
the aspirated p, for some reason. I kept practicing it, but whatever I did, I could not make
that damn aspirated p sound. it was driving me insane, so I looked into it carefully
nubbins`: korean is very logical, each block is a syllable composed of up
to 3 sounds
nubbins`: chinese characters make no sense
to me
nubbins`: i agree on
the half-length
tho, i've been mentally digesting satoshi-denominated amounts
this way
to make sense of
them for a while now
mircea_popescu: so 亿 is wan, which is
the w part,
the misshapen 1 or
the insecure 2 ?
nubbins`: i don't
think you're using
the
term "base"
the way other people use it
ozbot: MPEx : one year of dividends pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
nubbins`: 10^4 units of korean won is about $10, so it's good
they'd have a reasonably short name for it
dexX7: <mircea_popescu>
tbh,
this mili and micro stuff is nonsense. << well, it's easy
to remember.. 1 millibit is approx 1 $
nubbins`: korean has 10^2, 3, 4, 8, 12, and every +4
thereafter
nubbins`: otherwise it's just another
thing i don't have space for
FabianB: chinese (and i
think japanese
too) has words and characters for 10^4 and 10^8, none for 10^6
though, so much better for satoshi/btc

to make money off a 3d printer before i could justify buying one

to reverse
the
terms or add another = ;)
sbp: please call one
the quatloo...
nubbins`: 100 glaps
to
the quighorc, etc
nubbins`: why don't we just cobble
together a series of retarded nonsensical names for all
the different decimal places and use
that?
FabianB: why not skip all
the steps inbetween and go with satoshi
sbp: we'll never need nBTC, unless
they split
the Satoshi
sbp: somebody needs
to work on a media friendly name for µBTC
sbp: nubbins`: start
thinking of prices in mBTC.
then you can say almost exactly
the same
thing in a year or so
pankkake: I want
to believe
that last 3 days
thing
gribble: Next difficulty estimate | 1036361795.11 based on data since last change | 894132728.373 based on data for last
three days

the price of
things in btc

the dumbest video ever.
ozbot: imgur:
the simple image sharer

took him 2 minutes. :) Still fits
though, right. Mailing money?
sbp: you know, Heisenberg had
twins. well, his wife did
deadweasel: well, he kept one of
them in a box, so it's debatable.
deadweasel: pay a local homeless man
to keep an eye on him.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform is actually waking up at night because of
the
thing.
sbp: give it a cognitive nudge of interest from me
though
sbp: I was reading asciilifeform's notes about RNG on
Trilema earlier
sbp: how's Cardano coming along, mircea_popescu? looking forward
to it
sbp: when we have
to update signs in
the UK,
the councils complain
that
they cost
too many hundreds of
thousands of pounds
to change. for
the cost of changing
those signs, maybe Coaș could have afforded a new hospital...
mircea_popescu: welcome
to coas! drive carefully : we have six graveyards and not a single hospital
mircea_popescu: so romanian health ministry would not spring for a hospital in
this small northern
town. consequently,
they changed
the
town name plaques on all
the roads

the implicit bible of everyone else.
