they produced

their own power ?
that's like... 1000% more
than what
the esl world managed.
mircea_popescu: but
the good news is
that lobbesbot permits you
to do a bond auction a la carte.

taking ~300 rockchips
there and filling a dozen us with
them.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-05 03:06 mircea_popescu: besides, you can afford it, shockingly enough. 300 x 100 is what, 3.x btc. not
the end of
the world. if he actually gets it
through
the blocade you have an item arguably worth
twice
that.

ben_vulpes: safe-online-rsabox production plant buildout and consolidate
the physical beachhead in .uy. so mod6 asciilifeform is
the board inclined
to raise more capital
to build
this out and attend
to morale in sudamerica?
ben_vulpes: i crunched some numbers, and i
think it's going
to cost around 3 btc
to put
the production rockchip plant
together and get it down south, all based on 4 2U's with 24 rockchippen each,
transpo of ~2.5kusd and per-chassis fab costs of ~800usd. i
think with
the outrageous success of
the rockchip pilot plant pizarro's in a *great* spot
to refinance per mircea_popescu's suggestion,
to provide for
the production
BingoBoingo: <fromdeedbot> I mean globally << What part of moving from Southern Illinois
to Uruguay on WoT fuel isn't global? Gotta circumnavigate or something?
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in random lulz, "Copy right laws are in
tact and if you violate
those rules
then you will be prosecuted."
mircea_popescu: why did you
think
the usg bitcoin-ersatz is a good
thing ?
fromdeedbot: What do you guys have against Ethereum (if anything, maybe i am not rembering
the logs correctly)
mircea_popescu: exactly as stated :
that some of
the usable bipedal mammals will get a serial id ;
the unusable will get nothing.
there's no birthright
to
the lordship.
fromdeedbot: what was
the purpose of
that demonstration?
fromdeedbot: I saw
that but was distracted while reading
mircea_popescu: everyone gets a
tit string ; not everyone gets
to be in
the wot.
fromdeedbot: if www addresses have
tumbleweeds rolling by because most businesses have moved
to a new more secure web
fromdeedbot: if a new internet is built and a pgp key is mandatory, and everyone is on
the new internet..
fromdeedbot: I am of
the belief
that
things will move
this direction naturally
fromdeedbot: it’s roughly along
the same lines, but not
the samee
mircea_popescu: if by globally you mean "we
throw darts at a earth globe",
then yes, you're
that late. if by globally you mean "every last idiot on
two legs" you're way
the fuck early, in
the sense
that such miracle's never gonna happen.
mircea_popescu: it long ago has ;
the republic built its uruguay datacenter out of what, you expect ? wot.
fromdeedbot: like
to get a loan or a lease on a place
to live
fromdeedbot: I
thinlk
that
this
type of system could change
the way we define “percieved value” and even credit
fromdeedbot: and compared
to who backs you up… and who
they are, and how old is
their nick
fromdeedbot: so
that peoples online identity has a “fingerprint"
fromdeedbot: Requirment of a pgp key
to become a part of a new web built on
trust and accountability
mircea_popescu: reminds me of
this chick on fetlife, "So you don't want
to have a smart discuss, you're here for what ? What do you research here ? Because I'm agree with your description."
☟︎ mircea_popescu:
https://gitter.im/ << gotta archive

fromdeedbot: that is exactly I why I read
them… you guys have came up with a really cool
thing
fromdeedbot: I have
to admit I have not read
them in full, and if
that is a pre req, I will.
fromdeedbot: and
the deedbot got crossed up in my googling
fromdeedbot: well google landed me on your logs when I was researching
the whole wiki leeks
thing and how it related
to bitcoin
fromdeedbot: ha! I kinda like it low key, but I’m not “from deedbot” in
the way people might
think…
this is
the only channel
that I use
tghis Nick
fromdeedbot: its a new way
to set in stone, amongst many oother imagined, and not imagined yet
things
fromdeedbot: and how escrows, and othjer such related
things could be revolutionized
fromdeedbot: buliding smart contrct’ish programs would be a short
term goal
fromdeedbot: hah,
that’s good advice. noted…. As far as what
to express specifically, I’m not sure exactly yet, but
this has always interested me and I have waited long enpough
mircea_popescu: hey, i don't mind. but understand
that avoiding bad habits is a lifelong uncompletable
task,
there's no magic pill
that'll keep you safe from such. certainly contemplation from outside isn't much of one.
mircea_popescu: well,
this overanxious approach is a bad habit all of itself.
fromdeedbot: It interests me more and more every day… but it is overwhelming where
to begin and I dont want
to start bad habits
fromdeedbot: because I have been into computers for a long
time and I feel like I could contribute productive elements
to
the community if i knew how
to exoress my ideas in
the right languge
fromdeedbot: i would like
to start as low level as i can without overdoing it
mircea_popescu: of course,
the more cogent question is, ~why~ do you want
to learn
to code/program
fromdeedbot: I want
to learn
to code/program. I am looking for sound advice on what
to learn first. php? oop? python? I have looked all over
the web and it seems everyone has a different opinion. any advice would be appredciated
mircea_popescu: and
this is also why ~nobody of any consequence reads any of
them. i'd rather read engelbert humperdinck's introduction
to greek philosophy. at least he sings, which, unrelated as it may be, IS WAY
THE FUCK MORE
THAN ANY OF
THESE IDLE FUCKTARDS EVER DID. or will ever do.
mircea_popescu: that's your "experts" zx2c4, from matthew retardenfield all
the way down
the mongoloid chain.
mircea_popescu: ls
to discuss
the matter, including spurious naming conventions and all
the rest of
the monkey dance, EXCEPT in
terms of "leaking padding schemes are retarded, DO NOT DO
THAT."
mircea_popescu: since we're discussing "retards are retarded", here's a fine example :
https://archive.is/RbD9o ; it consists of a) let's leak
through
the inept choice of "pad by
the value of padding, so if you need 5 bytes of padding pad with 5 bytes each = 5" (and
then pretend
this is not
to be reviewed "because popular" and also do every other elbow
trick in
the book
to stick it past) followed unneringly by... b) construct elaborate ritua

mircea_popescu: a better example of what exactly it means
to be a monkey, with
these inane expectations of wysiwyg-ism and gui-ism and rtfm-is-racist and nobody-will-ever-expect-you-to-think-if-they-truly-love-you and on AND ON...

turn a
tv on if you can find one, and
tune it
to mtv, which still exist. compare/contrast
to 1988 mtv, it'll illustrate
the matter perfectly.

the authority
to behead. laboratory -- worked. ( and not merely via 'copy leaked design',
the ~indigenous~ nuke was crafted in parallel with
the copied 'rds-1' , and subsequently went
to production )
a111: Logged on 2017-09-13 19:34 mircea_popescu: so :
the faberge egg,
the original, was made in 1885 ; but it was
the continuation and in a sense
the crowing of a current of
thought (ie, culture) and proper civilisation
that reached back over a centry.
mircea_popescu: the world will be either authoritarian or
totalitarian ; and only one of
those is livable (though
to people living
through its early dissolution phases, it seems altogether as if
things are improving -- much like
the case may be
that preteen orphans may subjectively perceive
their first few hours with
their new status actually liberating.
then dinner
time comes, and wel...
the unbearable sadness of solitude sneaks in. somehow
hanbot: i never
thought about it
that way.
though it seems evident once stated.
mircea_popescu: but it didn't in fact work. so where do "rock'n'rollers" go when it's disco
time ? same place zappa went, neh,
to
the bottle of bitters.
mircea_popescu: and hence
the 1990s, and
the "information superhighway" bs.
they were going
to, poor darlings, subvert
the morloch, with a very naive, all-inclusive, republic v0.1, built out of "net neutrality" and wikipedia. except of course for
the part where it didn't work, it was a splendid plan.
mircea_popescu: and
that's what ultimately killed "music" (as particularly understood in
the 1950-1980 interval) for schelling point-ness :
the realisation
that
the only possible conclusion is cobain's ; and hence all
the emo / goth / etc bs,
tiptoeing around old man charon's boat.

to you. Either you accommodate yourself
to
the unreasonable, or you play out your life in some futile back alley. You are doomed

the way

mircea_popescu: very much
the problem of
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-11#1500956 ;
though not for
the causes he ascribes, nor with
the divisions implicit etc.
there's no future for man in
the brave new world exactly in
the sense and exactly for
the reasons
there was no future for man in soviet russia 8th decade. white, black,

☝︎ danielpbarron: hanbot, i didn't start with
the official v wp-wp. i had a very old original .tar.gz
mircea_popescu: it didn't become obvious "there's nothing
there". what became obvious was
the curt cobain problem :
that
the only ~possible~ move remaining for
the "man alone" is suicide.
hanbot: mircea_popescu, so while people
thought
they can bring down
the berlin wall
they
tuned into mtv, and once it became obvious
there's nothing
there
they
tuned out?
mircea_popescu: ll be a condensate of hot
topic and assorted politrucking, but it will be
there, as a matter of course.
mircea_popescu: the fact of
the matter is people will express
their better nature if
there's a space where
they can do it ~meaningfully~.
mircea_popescu: hanbot, i suppose
the answer would be asciilifeform 's "bottle". consider
this place --
there's people who come and read
the logs. every day, in
the morning or in
the evening or whatever.
there's people who write code,
there's people who do all kinds of stuff. where were
they BEFORE ?
they did physically exist, yes, you can't say "nowhere". so
then ?
danielpbarron: i've made so many modifications
to mp-wp it's like dpb-wp now
danielpbarron: i should say,
the linked item is only comments.php ; if you can find
the other file i'll send
that one
too, i don't recall which one it was
hanbot: mircea_popescu, so where did
the people go?
mircea_popescu: remember 1988 mtv ? peak of live concerts, 120 Minutes was just getting started... whole different story. heck, people who weren't complete mouthbreathers even owned
tv sets back
then.
mircea_popescu: turn a
tv on if you can find one, and
tune it
to mtv, which still exist. compare/contrast
to 1988 mtv, it'll illustrate
the matter perfectly.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: 2018 web is ~= 1988 disco or 1968 "rock&roll".
there's no beatles,
there's no elvis,
there's just you know, "rock and roller Little Richard performing in 2007" ie wikipedia.
there's fucking F!TV.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: yes, slashdot was once
the flagship of a mighty youth movement. so was woodstock, at one
time. slashdot failed on its own power and found out what it's worth
these days for a fucking reason --
the party moved, and it moved years ago.
mircea_popescu: but seriously now, so
there's 10k, maybe 50k inept kids in
this vertical. do you realise
that's less
than
the average vampire stories franchise gets ? and do you understand
they are EXACTLY as useful / capable / potent / whatever objective measure of capacity
to alter reality ?
mircea_popescu: in short,
the diminutively
tiny list of people who,
to quote one among
them, "I
took evening classes from
the institute via phone. (I half-listened while clicking
through lolcat photos.)"... what difference can
they possibly make,
to anyone ?
mircea_popescu: ie, it makes exactly 0 difference
to its might whether
the web even exists
tomorrow or not. but even in
this very constrained field, btcbase is a larger source
than
twitter, or facebook, or ycombinator, or you name it (and yes, any and all of
the pantsuit platforms are vying for relevancy in my referral log, month after month after month,
