mircea_popescu: "i have talked to some people i won'
t name about some things i won'
t name but take my word on it that it's relevant, and they said my stupidity is entirely correct"
mircea_popescu: "That said, every community is different. I've personally talked to people in charge of large online communities – ones you probably participate in every day – and part of the reason those communities haven'

t fit in a single recent consumer grade drive.
benkay: you don'
t need a blockchain to accept/send btc.
Namworld: The blockchain ain'
t all that big yet...
benkay: hdbuck: if you can'
t afford the space to store the blockchain, what are you doing in btc anyways?

t, what's good signs and doesn'
t, and guesstimating
Namworld: Well, I guess, but to predict that accurately, wouldn'
t I need to accurately simulate all brains in the world, including the Earth and all stellar input that affect those brains?
Namworld: Unlike other things like wormholes and FTL through space compression, which are not yet falling within certain laws of physics and aren'
t thought to be likely. The conditions needed to make that happen are huge and uncertain.
Namworld: Simulating/scanning a live one properly and actually controlling thoughts through simulations and predictions of inputs effects would probably require computing power and an amount of energy that just isn'
t realistically feasible for centuries.
jurov: do we really have such machines? i don'
t think so
Namworld: Yes, I didn'

t even recall, where you here when logs were introduced ? the bash ?
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal becase back when bitbet was invented we didn'
