Not in my dumb fucking head that wouldn'
t be fit to grace a gargoyle. "
benkay: just addressing your mischaracterization of me. just because i have opinions about mpex agent's test suite doesn'
t mean i don'
t do manual data munging (or have people do it) when appropriate.
jurov: that isn'
t substantially different from what i wrote

BingoBoingo: It isn'
t like the blockchain demands timestamp precision
decimation: apparently the firmware in the watch: 1.) doesn'
t use WWVB to correct its long-term frequency error 2.) produces a one-second offset when synced to WWVB
decimation: mine is about 5 years old and it loses about 10 seconds per month if it doesn'
t correct from WWVB

t slice cheese or something
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i recall reading about that, why teh russians couldn'
t make good crts. quantum effects.

mircea_popescu: bitcoin has been enacted by the fiat of a few important people, a few years ago, exactly in the same manner. they weren'
t THAT important as a % of the world, but that doesn'

t enough to undo it.
mircea_popescu: so : atc is not driven by "user adoption". it's driven by the fact that i'm buying it. in this context, if "evil" entity decides to just mine all the blocks, nobody gives a shit. so txn aren'
t included ? whatever.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t get how this is supposed to work. so he mines and doesn'
t include txn

t watch nicks/joins/parts

BingoBoingo: Right, or an AT&
T or another sophisticated herder of consumer cattle
BingoBoingo: Also not there aren'
t very many "Halliburton Stadiums" because the contractors that abide know lean years are possible
mircea_popescu: thanks to all the inflation, they're safe : they didn'
t have that much to spend anyway. i doubt anything under 1bn even registers anymore, especially after the great successes of govt contractors in the mideast.
mircea_popescu: but it does mean that IF it were to exist, we can'
t say anything about what it can'
t do./
mircea_popescu: the rules as they are preclude its existence. that may not mean it can'
t exist,

t wait for the full-wraparound displays with lots and lots of pixels
chetty: seems to be a sort of generic friends day, can'
t walk down street without hearing it today

t even do such a good job of hiding it from you yourselves on a long enough timeline.
mircea_popescu: i have no idea who fucking asked amazon fanboi there to pass his judgement on de raadt, but i can state for teh records it wasn'
t me.
xmj: even if i don'
t deal with US through it.
nubbins`: (isn'
t this roughly what an air exchanger does?)
nubbins`: we have climate of a different sort here, to the point where i can'
t recall ever seeing an air conditioning unit in a private home. at the risk of asking a silly question, could one have the unit outside the room and vent the cool air in?
