mircea_popescu: so you don'
t get any credit for what you find, merely for the hashes.
decimation: heh. what they don'
t 'fairly' compare is the cost of transacting business in usd
mircea_popescu: i look forward to the day random derps all over the us can'
t afford internet derpage anymore because bitcoin competition has made electricity too expensive.
mircea_popescu: "this isn'
t a good apple because its not fda approved" "have you tasted it ?" "i don'
t need to"
justusranvier: True, there will always be murders. What can be ended is the myth that murder isn'
t evil just because somebody drapes a fancy title on themselves and cloaks their actions in euphamisms
justusranvier: Point of order: "the state" doesn'
t exist. People exist, buildings exist, guns exist, drones exist.
usg_press_machin: Thanks Mircea. I think crypto has a place to carve out individual privacy, but I don'
t think it necessarily follows that the only option is to view the relationship in terms of conflict. Reading now
mircea_popescu: to me it sounds kinda like "a movie can'
t be good if it doesn'
t have car chases and those anti-physical sparks bullets make in hollywood"
usg_press_machin: mircea_popescu yes but I don'
t think paying taxes to the USG - no matter what the USG does - is Nuremberg material.
mircea_popescu: "The lack of transparent key management in PGP isn'
t unfixable. For those who don'
t trust Google or Yahoo, there are experimental systems like Keybase.io that attempt to tie keys to user identities."
mircea_popescu: as if you know, plaintext mail isn'
t end to end encrypted. why not ? i do it all the time.
decimation: bitcoin has already gone to the moon, some of the world hasn'
t figured that out yet
decimation: bitcoin doesn'
t need anyone to have an opinion or thought about it in order to exist
mircea_popescu: i mean i get it, some people can'
t. which is fine. but don'
t go around claiming impotence as a virtue.
mircea_popescu: bycicling isn;
t a functon of people who can'
t ride bikes either. do you want more people to ride bykes ?
mircea_popescu: you can kill yourself with paracetamol too, doesn'
t make paracetamol faulty.
mircea_popescu: <usg_press_machin> Surely it can'
t be that easy. << why not ?!
decimation: asciilifeform: re: tax-farming :: in Maryland there is such a thing as 'ground rent' - 'landlord' can sell land from under your house if you don'
t pay
mircea_popescu: usg_press_machin i don'
t like you enough to pm. and no, not really. you can comment on it once it's done.
mircea_popescu: anyway, small, worthless transactions like say a cab ride aren'
t too adequate for this sort of application because people can'
t be arsed to bother.
mircea_popescu: the reasons it's not well implemented are in no sense scientifical, but purely political, and so the solution isn'
t going to come from writing it up, but from a willingness to work with others already doing it.
justusranvier: I lost the password forum account, and don'
t have the email it was linked to any more. I may have an archived PGP key around somewhere that was linked to it though.
mircea_popescu: there's nothing wrong with seeing something you like and trying to understand how it works, or implement it. there is however something wrong with seeing something you like and imagining you invented it. that something is that in exchange for the stroking of vanity, it also isolates you from the exact people you don'
t really want to be isolated from, id est, those people who actually do the things you like.
assbot: !ticker <exchange> <ticker> (desc: returns current ticker values, supported: MPEX, HAVELOCK, BTCTCO) {short: !
t}
mike_c: well, when you see this. i can'
t login in to van-ads, and my ads don'
t seem to be running.
mircea_popescu: of course they also made financial speculation liable in excess of sanity, which didn'
t work out for them on a macro scale, but the point remains : there's no good reason to exploit the concept of limited liability as a sort of exclusive monogamous relationship with the company.
mircea_popescu: what if limited liability weren'
t improperly tied to the notion of corporation ? like it worked in the soviet union : medical practice is unliable, and so cheap and affordable.
mircea_popescu: a fine example of how problematic this is : financial services, because they are companies, are also unliable. meanwhile, medical services, which aren'
t companies, are liable. the result ? rampant financial speculation exploiting the public resources of local authorities, and unaffordable healthcare.
mircea_popescu: we don'
t need that mechanism, nor does it have much value really. without it, limited liability survives just fine.
danielpbarron: he wants me to remove my rating on him; is it true that he didn'
t actually lose any BTC?
cazalla: Mexual, they didn'
t answer shit from trollbox
danielpbarron: i wasn'
t "in" the hangout; I was asking questions in the troll box
cazalla: knew 3 long necks was not enough but at least i won'
t regret tonight tomorrow
ben_vulpes: here's an odd thing: "*** You can'
t join #bitcoin-court because you're banned (+b)"
cazalla: there's nothing on, i don'
t know why she wants it
cazalla: tbh we have foxtel but missus pays for it because i refuse as i don'
t want it
cazalla: rolex? you don'
t read tlp?
cazalla: they can'
t get to my breeding stock
cazalla: inquest didn'
t discover fuck all
cazalla: i don'
t mind matty b though
cazalla: i bought the double black which is a little more $ but it wasn'
t as good as the black imo
fluffypony: xmj: yes - was considering going, but probably won'
t make it
jurov: Andreas Antonopoulos Stares Into Your Soul << fu he can'
t stare straight
punkman: usagi, so you didn'
t lose any BTC?
HeySteve: usagi did someone else up you? that would explain why you can'
t up others
cazalla: usagi, you said you didn'
t have much time but most people are doing other things at this time so you won'
t get many questions, may i suggest hanging around until some of those in the lordship show up
usagi: But other than that, no, I don'
t really know about Perth.
HeySteve: hey wasn'
t there a bitbet about russian forces in ukraine?
usagi: Well like I said my time is limited, I don'
t really "do" education of this sort, but I've already mentioned J.E. Dew, look up "6000 Chinese Characters", it mentions literacy trends over several corpus studies like BLI and CYY done in China.
usagi: Cuz im just saying, if you aren'
t following the latest trends in linguistics, then of course you wouldn'
t know about the studies surrounding literacy in China.
usagi: I didn'
t say I was Japanese.
usagi: Hello friends. Haven'
t been here in nine months. I just stopped by to answer any questoins or respond to any statements regarding my previous issues. Although I only have a limited time right now (20-30 min before work).
mike_c: i brought shit with me, wasn'
t going to bother setting up this laptop. but catching up on logs takes forever when sleep deprived.
mircea_popescu: if this isn'
t diogenes pushing his tub up and down i dunno what is.
cazalla: danielpbarron, i don'
t use g+ so don'
t be offended that i don'
t follow back
justusranvier: At least there's Open-Transactions, which isn'
t falling for the appcoin scam
cazalla: decimation, we don'
t like seppos either :P
decimation: cazalla: Australia is pretty serious about turning away immigrants it seems, wouldn'
t surprise me if some Brits were attracted to that
Mexual: i spent an hour explaining why i dn'
t own a television
cazalla: being the child of immigrants doesn'
t stop me telling them to get the fuck off my door step and go back to england, get your gas for IRA plots elsewhere
Mexual: they couldn'
t be understood slurring
mircea_popescu: well so there you go. west african arabs don'
t drink, at least.
decimation: I guess things haven'
t changed too much, in the past the nobility would gather in country homes and drink themselves silly while shooting various animals
mircea_popescu: decimation that may also have a lot to do with you decoding difference as "white trash". just because the lassies drink themselves blind each weekend doesn'
t mean they ain'
t got class, in the uk sense of that term :D
mircea_popescu: he wouldn'
t want the uk to be overrun by manchester dweebs either.
mircea_popescu: <decimation> I suspect the median white father would desire to have a white grandchild, does that make him racist? <<< this is very us/midwestern. i don'
t think a majority of europeans identify in those terms or specifically care.
decimation: 1500 BTC ain'
t going to go very far in Berlin or Amsterdam
justusranvier: Well "good" would be, "don'
t be a warlord". Since he'd already decided to adopt the "might makes right" standard of ethics by being in that profession, he would have been better off staying consistent.
mircea_popescu: justusranvier well the problem is... he couldn'
t have. this is like saying "usg could have fixed btc in 2010, saved a lot of 2014-16 headaches"
mircea_popescu: justusranvier nah. 1) it wasn'
t incest by the legal definition they were using ; 2) warlord is no cleric.
