One with better drugs than ours?

To do this, you issue everyone with write access to the database, a GPG Keypair that they use to sign entries and changes. Each signer will have a GPG Keypair, and a separate machine will automatically sign all entries with its own keypair, for time stamping and authenticating entries. << this guy writes like he reads the log but misses the point

00:19	assbot	Logged on 04-04-2015 02:04:31; junseth: RE: the discussion about markets, I generally disagree with the notion that markets don't work. I know it's a common mantra. But markets, even decently regulated ones, work pretty well. Regulated markets price in the cost of regulation.
00:19	mircea_popescu	yes the market would be a great solution, were it applied. sadly, "the political costs". ie, exactly the same tired old record that drove the soviet union into the wall.
00:20	mircea_popescu	people have to accept their feelings don't matter. they always end up doing this, it's just some have to get raped with a spiked club first.

00:22	assbot	Logged on 04-04-2015 02:21:29; junseth: Haha, well the question is what was the alternative. The alternative before the Fed was not necessarily better. I'm not a fan of central banks. But I think it's disingenuous to say that the central bank hasn't done a decent job of "running" the currency. The solution is to solve the problems caused by central banking. I think that's why we're all Bitcoiners.
00:23	mircea_popescu	the problem is "consumers have come to expect" and "representative democracy", not the central bank.

00:25	assbot	Logged on 04-04-2015 02:23:08; asciilifeform: ^ what kind of retard made debug.log roll over?
00:27	mircea_popescu	i wonder why people don't think representative reproduction is a workable idea, incidentally. we all get together, pick me to fuck all your wives and girlfriends, and that's that. everyone else gets http://40.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsx3hxyNS51r3yt08o3_1280.jpg

00:27	mircea_popescu	makes about as much sense in all possible approaches.

00:30	cazalla	so in pillars of eternity, you come across this priest dude and he somewhat looks like danielpbarron

00:32	mircea_popescu	btw cazalla and all folks who actually play games : once eulora 0.1 comes out, ima hold an event where there's gonna be magic money bags, yielding coin each day. i want y'all to show up an' get one.
00:34	cazalla	who has the time for mmos?!
00:35	mircea_popescu	legacy unique items, dun be a fool.
00:35	cazalla	i heard it was a game for casuals
00:36	mircea_popescu	lol
00:36	mircea_popescu	this trolling. it is 7/10
00:38	mircea_popescu	http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-04-2015#1087767 << bull. maybe in your (limited) life experience.
00:38	assbot	Logged on 04-04-2015 02:36:19; trinque: nothing in life is unregulated but this is distinct from saying all regulations come from one place
00:38	mircea_popescu	but otherwise, most everything in life is unregulated.
00:38	mircea_popescu	this may be scary, but it is right and proper.
00:39	trinque	I wasn't talking about just human life
00:40	trinque	everything that lives has limitations imposed by other things
00:40	mircea_popescu	http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-04-2015#1087798 << he has a point in that it's not a waste to read them, esp given the methodology.
00:40	assbot	Logged on 04-04-2015 02:46:05; decimation: but some of them are probably fixes for obscure bugs that might be useful to know about
00:40	mircea_popescu	trinque the difference between that and regulation is the statutory nature of the later.
00:40	mircea_popescu	gravity is a limit but it regulates nothing. the murder taboo is a limit and regulatory.
00:41	trinque	yeah, I was off the mark in trying to describe the abnormality of that, actually
