bagehot: Cool, yeah, that'll save me a day of googling, thanks
bagehot: Where I can go to get the gory details on how the interesting parts of the bitcoin source code are implemented and why those interesting bits actually work cryptographically and in a game-theory sense. I think its pretty incredible that a bunch of people can credibly store tokens of considerable value on a decentralized, digital network.
bagehot: Eh, the delay was to make sure I communicated accurately what I am here to learn.
mircea_popescu: actually, this is exactly backards from reality. bitcoin is an utter mess, it works mostly by accident, most of the bits are horribly broken and dysfunctional.
mircea_popescu: but, the discussion is in the logs, you can traverse it by searching. prolly a good start as any :
bagehot: Well all the better then. In the longer run I want to try inventing some units of account with different transactional properties and expansionary mechanisms.
bagehot: Heh, nah, I've got no interest in patching bitcoin for the sake of itself beyond tinkering with the code to learn about.
bagehot: I think it'd be more fun to see what people do, if anything, with units of account that aren't like digital gold.
decimation: bagehot: what does it mean to 'not be like digital gold'?
bagehot: Well, so to give a concrete example, but not to make a normative statement about the relative merits for some purpose of one kind of unit of account over another, I think it'd be fun to try switching the party that initiates the asset-liability relationship.
bagehot: I also think it'd be fun to try to build a decentralized currency with a built-in mechanism for lender-of-last-resort purposes
decimation: bagehot: do you think the supply of money must expand as an economy 'grows'?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 55750 @ 0.00032755 = 18.2609 BTC [-] {2}
bagehot: It depends on what is enforced by the people who decide what money and the economy are.
bagehot: And also how those people define the terms.
bagehot: That's my first pass at an answer. That's not a question I've thought about before.
mircea_popescu: one interesting idea that came out here is that the people do not decide what either money or the economy are.
mircea_popescu: but vice-versa : money and the economy decide what people are.
bagehot: Thanks! First, re: one interesting idea: Can you clarify 'decide'? One sort of sociological argument I've heard is that social systems cause specific behaviors to be present in people.
bagehot: Another argument I've heard is that thing like 'money' and the 'economy' exist as they are because of some constraints that are present in the natural world and so those constraints, eh, cause certain behaviors
bagehot: Its definately the case that some social systems cause behaviors in practically all people, although I suspect once in a while people manage to commander the board for a bit.
mircea_popescu: just like gravity causes fishes to swim and birds to fly, just so money and the economy cause black people to be poor and jews to have long noses
bagehot: I suspect so, although, it'd depend on the natural constraint thats being put forth
bagehot: Alright, I'll be back in a bit once I've got wot setup.

This enabled all of our costs and resources to be focused on growth as they didn’t have to worry about caching, servers or anything that didn’t improve experience for our readers or editorial users. "
mircea_popescu: "The amazing thing about the platform is that it is a flat fee. This means that although our traffic has grown 350% year on year our costs have not changed. The depth of their out of the box features plus ecosystem of plugins ensured that we did’t have to worry about commodity features such as SEO, site maps and editorial workflows as someone else had built and open sourced an approach."
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, the thing's just been buying those spammy "related stories from across the net" slots. which... whatever. TRAFIC!
mircea_popescu: you could have bought that and driven it to a ytmnd for all the good they do anyone.

assbot: Sources tell me the the NGC is working with Antiguan authorities and the Feds to shut down and to extradite an individual to Nevada soon.
danielpbarron: i feel like i'm in way over my head trying to figure out the pogo stuff without ever having done the same things on already well established paths

ben_vulpes: the local airport is nominally 'international', but only to select destinations and not many into s.a., much less efficiently over to the south atl.
mircea_popescu: i guess this is a point. istanbul is a major airtraffic hub. the us... not.
ben_vulpes: i'm probably going to spend 28hrs traveling both ways, and spend 1.1k
mircea_popescu: kinda like cccp was a "major airtrafic hub" for internal flights only.
ben_vulpes: i imagine the forbidden city is a bit more well trafficked.
