00:01 decimation deciding what not to spend mental cycles on is a valuable skill
00:11 mircea_popescu "The Pioneer has before declared that our only safety depends upon the total extirmination of the Indians. Having wronged them for centuries, we had better, in order to protect our civilization, follow it up by one more wrong and wipe these untamed and untamable creatures from the face of the earth."

00:26 mircea_popescu For Mencken, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was the finest work of American literature. Much of that book relates how gullible and ignorant country "boobs" (as Mencken referred to them) are swindled by confidence men like the (deliberately) pathetic "Duke" and "Dauphin" roustabouts with whom Huck and Jim travel down the Mississippi River. These scam-artists swindle by posing as enlightened speakers on temperance (to ob
00:26 mircea_popescu tain the funds to get roaring drunk), as pious "saved" men seeking funds for far off evangelistic missions (to pirates on the high seas, no less), and as learned doctors of phrenology (who can barely spell). Mencken read the novel as a story of America's hilarious dark side, a place where democracy, as defined by Mencken, is "the worship of jackals by jackasses".
00:26 mircea_popescu such change wow progress.
00:30 mircea_popescu "I admit freely enough that, by careful breeding, supervision of environment and education, extending over many generations, it might be possible to make an appreciable improvement in the stock of the American negro, for example, but I must maintain that this enterprise would be a ridiculous waste of energy, for there is a high-caste white stock ready at hand, and it is inconceivable that the negro stock, however caref
00:30 mircea_popescu ully it might be nurtured, could ever even remotely approach it. The educated negro of today is a failure, not because he meets insuperable difficulties in life, but because he is a negro. He is, in brief, a low-caste man, to the manner born, and he will remain inert and inefficient until fifty generations of him have lived in civilization. And even then, the superior white race will be fifty generations ahead of him."
00:30 mircea_popescu check out mencken being spectacularly wrong.
00:34 mircea_popescu The larger the mob, the harder the test. In small areas, before small electorates, a first-rate man occasionally fights his way through, carrying even the mob with him by force of his personality. But when the field is nationwide, and the fight must be waged chiefly at second and third hand, and the force of personality cannot so readily make itself felt, then all the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most
00:34 mircea_popescu devious and mediocre—the man who can most easily adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum.
00:34 mircea_popescu The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

03:10 mircea_popescu RagnarDanneskjol that's a fine example of why one doesn't really want to offr live betting.
03:10 mircea_popescu why attract a horde of internet "entrepreneurs" trying to do a lot of high bandwidth nonsense in their retarded quest of getting five euros off you "risk free" ?
03:10 RagnarDanneskjol oh yea, recipe for disaster
03:11 mircea_popescu if they just flipped burgers they'd make more per hour with less work,
03:11 mircea_popescu but you can't talk sense into these overgrown children with their delusions of independence.
03:12 fluffypony where's Kyle when you need someone for an abject lesson
03:14 mircea_popescu Just don't place arbs which gives you less than 5% of your "under" stake. If you place 100 EUR on under at Europeans , it means that you must place only arbs which give you more than 5 EUR. This way, you need only 20 arbs to recover the losses from " 1 goal" for the 30 (might even less) sec you need after you first bet is accepted probably is less than 1/20. This rule of 5% profit from you under stake is reasonable. So
03:14 mircea_popescu me statistics of collected data from such bets could reveal more, but this 1/20 goal scoring assumption seems to be close to reality. Base on my own stats the probability of the goal is 1,8% , which means that 1,8 goals are scored in 100 bets. My net profit is smth like 65% of my total profit, the rest (35%) is the loss i have suffered from goals being scored in pending time. You must never place bets less than 5 EUR
03:14 mircea_popescu (5% of your under bet, which we are assuming it is 100 EUR) unless it is HT where there is no danger. If you place bets for 2 EUR profit, you need now 50 arbs to recover the losses and i doubt that you will make any money.
03:14 mircea_popescu based on his own fucking data o.O
03:14 mircea_popescu "his own data" being an arbitrary, uncontrolled and irreproducible cutout of the general flow.

03:29 mircea_popescu s well as the United States' $51 billion--annually--“War on Drugs.”
03:31 mircea_popescu yeah well the problem with that is that it's more akin to saying that detroit or hollywood don't go away.
03:31 mircea_popescu "the chinese triads" aren't a the in this context any more than "the chinese government" is a the. obviously there's going to be some sort of government, such as for instance the one in taiwan.

13:36 mircea_popescu here's the scheme : whatever usg affiliate, be it goldman sachs or herpy q derp that holds any sum of btc will lend it to the usg btc policy bureau in exchange for fiat guarantees.
13:37 mircea_popescu any usg affiliate or more likely, herpy q derp that looks like he may acquire any btc sum through any means will receive all the soft backing possible, from business insder news articles to an invitation to the fucking white house. anything whatsoever as long as it loks natural rather than spammy
13:37 mircea_popescu all these loan contracts are promised to unwind in fiat eventually, and will be in fact profitable for all parties if and only if bitcoin actually fails.
13:38 mircea_popescu they are no major concern for the usg in either case, because man who hangs for a goat might as well hang for a goat and a chick
13:38 mircea_popescu no matter how cool the chick was.
13:39 mircea_popescu and so here we are. part ii of the game is, how much do you ~actually~ like this thing, once money actually is on the table.
13:40 mircea_popescu unremarkably, the worthless shitheads that joined late have nothing to contribute.
13:40 mircea_popescu but suddenly, the large early holdings that all the shitheads-with-a-megaphone were decrying as dangerous to bitcoin
13:40 mircea_popescu turn into a major point of support for bitcoin.
13:40 mircea_popescu which is how things work in moronia, down is up, etc.
13:41 asciilifeform the large early holdings << these moved ?
13:41 mircea_popescu nope.
13:42 asciilifeform so isn't it rather like saying 'volcano was a major point of support for pompei until day x'
13:42 mircea_popescu quite.
13:42 mircea_popescu if the volcano never erupts, the fertile land on its slopes is actually enough to make the village own the other villages and build an empire.
13:43 * asciilifeform wonders if the dump wasn't the work of an impatient man, but of a thinking one - trying to induce 'stress fracture' (what's the correct term?) via stampede effects
13:43 mircea_popescu anyway, this whole charade'd have worked a damned sight better if the various y-combinator bezzlers, the foundation hearn, gmaxwell and co would have actually had what they thought they had and everyone thought they should have, ie, actual respectability and bitcoin cred.
13:43 mircea_popescu thankfully, uncommon sense prevailed. so far at least.
13:44 mircea_popescu asciilifeform what i think on that topic is perhaps apparent from what i do, namely, that i'm even talking about all this.
13:44 mircea_popescu but yes, for momentum shorts soft landing is the worst fucking news imaginable. so far, we're beating the shit out of a soft flubbery substance the size of a continent.
13:45 * asciilifeform infers that, should a peculiar effect be seen and mircea_popescu is silent, then it must be truly interesting
13:45 mircea_popescu or imaginary (ie, powerless)
13:46 mircea_popescu it's kinda funny how this works in qm terms. basically, an oracle of the wave function, but just on the real part. is this actually useful ?

13:50 mircea_popescu anyway, that's the major change here. after the missed boat of govt mining last year, this year the us fed has actually given its infinite fiat backing to any scheme that convincingly may help, and meanwhile to trying to depress price.
13:51 mircea_popescu this isn't something other countries can do, nor do they need to. this is the one opportunity they get to stock up.
13:53 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: hard to see who else could have reanimated the corpse of the 2011-era human wave chump attacks
13:54 mircea_popescu apparently it's sop.
13:54 the20year for?
13:54 mircea_popescu it boggles the mind what ends up being sop in a system that survives long enough.
13:55 mircea_popescu kinda best argument against survival, that. "you'll end up weird."

14:01 los_pantalones b/c otherwise i'd sell my POS equipment in the corner
14:01 los_pantalones to my buddy
14:01 mircea_popescu in bankruptcy proceedings with an aroma of fraud, criminal liability may flow through such trades
14:01 los_pantalones for whatever price i want, bankrupt the co and walk out w/ cash
14:01 mircea_popescu los_pantalones yeah, no practical way for an unwotted system to work otherwise.
14:01 los_pantalones correct

15:51 mircea_popescu here's a funny story from the past : in 1936 (ie, after the disastrous effects of roosevelt's socialist inanity became apparent to anyone worth the mention), literary digest sent out 10mn questionnaires to all the people buying it + anyone with a car or a phone.
15:51 mircea_popescu they got ~2.5mn responses.
15:51 mircea_popescu according to these, roosevelt was going out of office.
15:51 mircea_popescu according to people who didn't read literary digest, own a car or a phone however... he stayed.

17:19 mircea_popescu asciilifeform kinda why the credit bubble is required for usg : because all extraction only works if it costs more than it extracts
17:19 mircea_popescu this being the fundamental of rooslvelt's new deal.
17:20 asciilifeform costs more? backwards?
17:20 mircea_popescu every dollar the usg extracts from anything costs it more than a dollar as a precondition of its continued existence.
17:20 asciilifeform and still not seeing it. a few mil. people in usa evicted, how many shot at the sheriff? ten?
17:21 mircea_popescu they can only get evicted provided their eviction costs more than it's worth.
17:22 chetty got to keep pumping that debt
17:22 asciilifeform considering that this is rather opposite of the thermodynamics we learned in kindergarten, perhaps deserves explanation ?
17:22 mircea_popescu yeah, the whole story works fine for as long as the expansion of debt remains unrestricted.
17:22 asciilifeform e.g. oil well that needs more joules to pump than you get out - is abandoned
17:23 mircea_popescu this creates "assets" for everyone involved, and so...
17:23 asciilifeform why would opposite rule apply here
17:23 mircea_popescu asciilifeform ask roosevelt.
17:23 mircea_popescu i didn't come up with it.
17:23 asciilifeform roosevelt (or stalin, for that matter) just subscribed to a somewhat baroque school of biodiesel manufacture
17:23 mircea_popescu nah, the cripple came up with it all on his own.
17:24 asciilifeform that is, it doesn't matter that the well is -EV if expendable slaves are pumping by hand
17:24 asciilifeform you're converting their fat to fuel
17:24 mircea_popescu "how great would it be if we cut off everyone's legs, and hired someone to push them around"
17:24 mircea_popescu stalin's thing was reality bound. roosevelt's thing was not.
17:24 asciilifeform roosevelt started with considerably more fat
17:25 mircea_popescu this is why the soviet union collapsed cleanly, whereas the libertard union will not.
17:25 mircea_popescu nah
17:25 mircea_popescu that's not where it lies. stalin's externality was belly fat
17:25 mircea_popescu r's externality was brain fat.

17:30 nubbins` this image came to me as a psd with, no joke, over 150 layers
17:30 mircea_popescu looks like it was worth it
17:30 nubbins` as i can't fit 150 screens on the press, this is reduced to 4 layers
17:31 thestringpuller well you could use 150 screens
17:31 thestringpuller but that'd be insane
17:31 nubbins` anyway, clearing through the backlog. 150-ish two-sided cards and another hundred shirts and i'm in the clear for digging into the bitcoin posters
17:32 nubbins` thestringpuller it'd be cumbersome
17:32 nubbins` there were only like 6 or 7 colors in there to begin with. it's just that for some reason she put each stroke in its own layer
17:33 thestringpuller i'm just gonna tell my screenprinting people that you can print 150 colors

17:35 thestringpuller the "mythical" 150 screen press serves as a better motivator ;)
17:35 mircea_popescu asciilifeform let's model this with a game of chess. suppose there's ten of us in a room. nine are amateurs, i am a rated pro.
17:36 mircea_popescu first game starts. i tell my opponent "listen, if you let me play with an extra queen, i
17:36 mircea_popescu ll let you play with two extra queens on the rematch"
17:36 mircea_popescu now this is actually +ev for the opponent : he probably can't beat a pro on even figures, so giving an extra gueen is not much to give.
17:36 nubbins` in the philippines, they do a lot of peg-and-hole printing, you could theoretically do 150-color designs no sweat
17:37 mircea_popescu however, no pro in the world can beat someone with three queens on the table. and so he consents.
17:37 mircea_popescu i won a game.
17:37 nubbins` set up like 200-500 shirts at a time on these huge long tables, each shirt has 2 wooden dowels sticking out of the board above it
17:37 mircea_popescu the problem is, it cost me more to win than it's worth. but i won it.
17:37 nubbins` printer takes a squeegee and screen w/ 2 holes on top, slips screen onto first set of dowels, prints, steps to the right, repeat
17:38 mircea_popescu which you know, in some approaches to politics, such as would for instance be favoured by temporary figureheads elected by a democracy, and supported by an unmovable bureaucracy, is the whole of my job.
17:38 mircea_popescu next game, let someone else handle the problems.

19:11 BingoBoingo Hello dpb_reddit
19:11 dpb_reddit Hi! CryptyLabs LLC will be creating a suite of services to make the use and accessibility of Bitcoins easier for everyone. The first product being created in our suite is trading software, commonly known as bots. We plan to launch in 5 weeks under they CryptyBots brand. We are looking for person(s) who can fill one or both of the following position(s): 1. Software/bot trading developer 2. Backtest Developer Best candidat
19:12 BingoBoingo dpb_reddit: Why are you offering us best Candida? I don't want to itch!
19:14 BingoBoingo dpb_reddit: What is your role in this CryptoLabs business?
19:14 dpb_reddit I am one of the 2 co-founders, currently a 5 man operation - we are launching in 5 weeks
19:16 BingoBoingo That was some seriously unfortuante text clipping on your message though because it seems you are wishing us all nasty fungal itches...
19:16 dpb_reddit So, I set up the business, finances, marketing, put the team together, etc.
19:16 BingoBoingo What kind of history do you have?
19:17 BingoBoingo And why start with trading software if your target audience is the everyman?

19:17 Blazedout419 thoughts?
19:17 dpb_reddit I have worked at a financial investment group, and have started startups freelanding around - currently have a lot of free time and this is one of my serious projects.
19:18 kakobrekla so, nothing with bitcoin?
19:18 dpb_reddit The reason we are starting with the trading software is because if someone is new to bitcoins, we are providing the easiest, and best profiting bots out so far - our product is done, but we are looking for more developers and backtest feature
19:18 dpb_reddit Yes, I know how to program, I am also currently creating my own coin as a project. I am involved in cryptos and trade on exchanges.
19:18 kakobrekla i think _you_ are new to bitcoin.
19:19 dpb_reddit I have also written my own bot, but the bots we are selling are created much more professionally than I can make
19:19 dpb_reddit I am not new to bitcoins
19:19 dpb_reddit If anyone is interestd, send an email to hr@cryptybots.com
19:20 kakobrekla so, having some fx experience, i can tell you there just one kind of bots for sale on this planet. the ones that dont work.
19:20 dpb_reddit I will tell you our bots work, and we have about 300 happy customers already.
19:20 dpb_reddit Anyways, I am not here to explain myself, or prove anything, simply trying to hire for a good startup company.
19:21 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the chess example, or its life version with debt, etc. is really a play on 'hilbert's hotel'
19:21 BingoBoingo dpb_reddit: Still, why not for example make a fork of Armory that isn't spyware or something, what is this with trading bots
19:21 asciilifeform if you could actually move judgement day off by a day without limit, it'd work

19:23 dpb_reddit Well there are wallets, pretty easy to store bitcoins. Our bots will be very easy to use, interface is super clean.
19:24 BingoBoingo dpb_reddit: But I mean why introduce risky trading bots as a first product to new users?
19:24 kakobrekla its 100& guaranteed profit prolly.
19:25 dpb_reddit They are not super risky. They profit very consistently. Of course I cannot guarantee 100% of the time, but it generally does profit well and gets your money back. Backtests can show this. Kakobrekla, please do not be disrespectful, I am being honest here.
19:25 kakobrekla you are honestly not having a clue.
19:26 dpb_reddit I am not going to argue with you. I know what I am doing.

20:09 mircea_popescu well that'd do it then.

20:12 mircea_popescu Flerb i linked you above to the explanation. did you read it ?
20:12 Flerb Yeah
20:12 mircea_popescu so, yeah, you need ratings from the people that are in the magic list.
20:12 Flerb Ok
20:12 Flerb But ratings surely are for trades?
20:13 nubbins` ratings are for trust
20:13 Flerb Oh
20:13 nubbins` this can be for trades, for back rubs, for business dealings, etc
20:13 mircea_popescu everything is a trade.
20:13 Flerb Oh ok
20:13 Flerb So I'll register with otc
20:14 mircea_popescu nubbins` i made the conditions less draconic.
20:14 mircea_popescu let me know if it's still a pain.
20:14 decimation also of mild interest: http://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1323476 << seems intel isn't delivering 14 nm for anything important in the near future
20:14 assbot Intel Outlines 14nm, Broadwell | EE Times
20:14 nubbins` will do. let me know if you get more comment spam!
20:14 mircea_popescu i never get any anyway :)
20:14 Flerb Why is this necessary? Was there a lot of spam?
20:15 mircea_popescu Flerb it's to oppress people.
20:15 nubbins` now if only you could get rid of the pingbacks ;D
20:15 Flerb Oh cool
20:15 Flerb I love oppression
20:15 mircea_popescu decimation yeah it was kinda dead in the water 14nm
20:15 nubbins` you'll fit in here
20:17 RagnarDanneskjol from what i understand, @ 16-14nm existing foundry tools just don't cut it (literally) to get any effective performance yield
20:20 mircea_popescu yup
20:20 decimation yeah these features are ~30 Si atoms in size, not surprising that photo-lithography is failing
20:20 BingoBoingo Architectures are about to get exotic again
20:20 mircea_popescu it's the end of that accursed law, we can get back to humanity for a while.
20:20 mircea_popescu until wetware, is my bet.
20:21 RagnarDanneskjol oh yea
20:22 mircea_popescu holy shit. ipads ARENT MULTITASKING !?
20:22 mircea_popescu dude. jesus. omfg.
20:22 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: it's a normal unix box
20:22 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: but apple's first version of os didn't support user task switching
20:22 mircea_popescu then why does everything stop the moment it goes to background ?
20:22 mircea_popescu hm.
20:22 decimation the capability to shrink dies has far outstripped the capability to design logic to exploit the new possibility space
20:23 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: as i recall, it uses an evil semi-cooperative task scheduler for user apps (vs system daemons) where 'non-essential' threads are suspended
20:23 asciilifeform this, according to the dev manual, is to save battery charge.
20:23 kakobrekla this thing was introduced in the later models only ?
20:23 mircea_popescu asciilifeform so basically... it doesn't have multi-tasking.
20:24 asciilifeform running more than one user app simultaneously was introduced in ver. 4 i think.
20:24 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: it does, but app has to explicitly ask for it
20:24 decimation I'm sure the hand of steve was in this
20:24 BingoBoingo kakobrekla> this thing was introduced in the later models only ? << This thing was introduced when they "introduced" "multi-tasking"
20:24 mircea_popescu sooo basicalllllllyyyyy....
20:24 asciilifeform so, for instance, streaming audio apps can play in background
20:24 mircea_popescu whgat the fuck am i going to do, run ipad gcc and make the app ask ?
20:24 asciilifeform what's the app in question
20:25 mircea_popescu various random games. i got a tablet to check out what's going on in that space.
20:25 asciilifeform if it ought to do something useful in background and doesn't, it is the author's fault, yes
20:25 mircea_popescu turns out... everything downloads in a patch-needed state
20:25 mircea_popescu and everything takes > 10 minutes to patch
20:25 mircea_popescu and everything wants to be front-up while doing this
20:25 mircea_popescu and i think i am going to buy a hammer.
20:26 BingoBoingo I'd be interested in partnering with someone to startup S.MASH
20:26 * asciilifeform owns one of virtually every basic type of portable tablet/reader gizmo, they each have some use
20:26 BingoBoingo !s s.mash
20:26 assbot 4 results for 's.mash' : http://search.bitcoin-assets.com/?q=s.mash
20:26 mircea_popescu and this leaving aside the problem that every shithead from vietnam to shangshitland is making the same dumbass 3 or 4 games, with the most ridiculous mechanics,
20:27 decimation plus 'ipad gcc' (xcode) only runs on a mac, and you have to tell apple why you want it (not that it would help without the app source)
20:27 mircea_popescu but that notwithstanding, it's apparently impossible to get any of these aspiring "software houses" to even pick up the phone.
20:27 asciilifeform 'nexus 10', for example, is just right for reading vintage djvu scans of 'наука и жизнь'.
20:27 mircea_popescu we've created a fine empire of cacophonic nonsense, i tell you. such victory of civilisation ;/
20:27 BingoBoingo I imagine most of them can't afford phones
20:27 decimation ascii do you have one of those huge sony e-ink readers?
20:27 asciilifeform decimation: amazon's 'kindle dx'
20:28 asciilifeform used exclusively for russian war3z
20:28 decimation yeah, sony was going to be paper sized
20:28 mircea_popescu i literally was confronted with obviously the same one (stupid) thing, once with a scantily clad "mobster" girl, then later with a scantily clad "medieval fantasy" girl.
20:28 decimation or bigger actually, I think they bailed on that business
20:28 BingoBoingo The Sony readers were basically warez text only, it was great
20:28 asciilifeform sony did the original 'prs' box (sold mine for less than cost of shipping years ago)
20:28 asciilifeform but has fallen down since
20:28 asciilifeform dx, if i recall, is sadly out of production
20:29 decimation http://www.engadget.com/2014/03/27/sony-13-inch-digital-paper-e-ink/
20:29 assbot Sony's 13-inch 'Digital Paper' is just like paper, except it costs $1,100
20:30 * asciilifeform hates epaper touch screens as a concept
20:30 decimation my bid for such a device is $100
20:30 nubbins` <+decimation> plus 'ipad gcc' (xcode) only runs on a mac, and you have to tell apple why you want it << you have to tell apple why you want xcode?
20:30 asciilifeform can't finger-scroll on it, so only thing that happens is dirt
20:30 decimation nubbins`: at least in the past you had to get a developer account
20:30 * nubbins` shakes head
20:31 nubbins` you need a developer account to load apps onto your idevice, sure
20:31 asciilifeform decimation: afaik you still do if you want to actually run your code on (uncracked) apple portable gizmos
20:31 nubbins` xcode itself is just a general ide. totally free
20:31 decimation yeah they don't charge you for xcode but you still need to sign up afaik
20:31 nubbins` you could use it to build eulora for your mac if you wanted
20:31 nubbins` nah
20:32 decimation asciilifeform: yeah if you want to actually ship your code, you have to submit your source to apple for approval
20:32 asciilifeform and pay.
20:32 decimation apple: usg dept of shiny things
20:32 asciilifeform although last i checked - only binaries
20:33 dignork nubbins`: last time I tried, i had to root the phone and patch the xcode to avoid dev license
20:33 nubbins` we're talking about two different things here
20:33 decimation asciilifeform: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3186648/does-apple-view-the-actual-source-code-when-approving-apps << you are right, they just scan binaries
20:33 assbot iphone - Does apple view the actual source code when approving apps? - Stack Overflow
20:33 nubbins` yes, you need a developer account ($99) to install code to your ipad or iphone
20:34 nubbins` no, you do not need anything except *maybe* an itunes account to download and use xcode

20:34 mircea_popescu make a connection.
20:34 nubbins` objective-c is gnarly
20:34 decimation asciilifeform: what did you think of objective C?
20:35 nubbins` i actually know a brilliant objective-c programmer
20:35 asciilifeform decimation: not a fan. abuse of poor c, just like cpp
20:35 decimation yeah I would put them in the same category (c++ and objc)
20:35 nubbins` he's been getting a lot of work doing interactive media displays for big corps and stuff lately

21:00 dignork decimation: love their warning: "If your ankles feel warm, something is wrong!"
21:01 decimation lol yeah you would have to pay me a fair amount of cash to get me to climb a tower in that suit in front of a live high-power transmit antenna

21:03 dignork RagnarDanneskjol: it's on preorder :(
21:03 RagnarDanneskjol i made one w/ my bare hands
21:04 decimation yeah, those are neat, except the most interesting part is the fact that you can capture a decent band
21:04 decimation what are you going to do with the band, once you have it?
21:04 BingoBoingo RagnarDanneskjol: You really aren't playing with RF until you are measuring power in at least tens of watts
21:05 RagnarDanneskjol I work on radar/IR jamming stuff w/ fpgas, electronic warfare
21:05 RagnarDanneskjol I know what I'm doing, have lots of burns to prove it
21:06 BingoBoingo Ah, I'm more familiar with DX'ing as a sport
21:07 BingoBoingo How far can you get on X power budget in Y Band?
21:07 decimation I guess it goes down to 10 mhz so you could do HF
21:07 decimation at least the upper end
21:08 BingoBoingo Yeah
21:09 decimation it barely puts out 1 watt
21:09 BingoBoingo That's what AMPs are for

21:14 BingoBoingo Nothing "encrypted" though

21:15 mircea_popescu <decimation> I'm not sure how you are going to make money selling to the democratic police when the surplus war material is "free" << love will find a way.
21:16 decimation I love this distinction between proper police who serve the king, the local baron's agents, and the "democratic police". I'm going to use the phrase more often.
21:18 mircea_popescu <decimation> yeah amateur radio would be much more fun if there were people to talk to other than hams << like what, 19/f/cali accidentally on the transmission ?
21:19 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: That could be a charity, 19 year old Cali girls on 10 meters
21:19 BingoBoingo If the US cared about diplomacy this could replace Voice of America entirely
21:20 decimation no the median ham is a ossified 50-70 year old male who rarely has anything interesting to say
21:20 mircea_popescu now that's an idea, i wonder how the iraq/afghan wars would have went if instead of 2-500k gay boys eager to play videogames
21:21 mircea_popescu the us war dept just enlisted 2-500k eager valley sluts and packed them off.
21:21 mircea_popescu "come back in two years"
21:21 decimation with or without guns?
21:21 mircea_popescu no guns, and not so much clothing either.
21:21 mircea_popescu let the arabs sort it out.
21:21 decimation well, they would be alternately raped and stoned to death I would suspect
21:21 mircea_popescu really
21:21 mircea_popescu ?
21:22 mircea_popescu i bet you lower casualties than currently observed.
21:22 mircea_popescu no culture murders nubile defenseless womenz.
21:23 mircea_popescu i tell you, when i am tyrant this is how my tyranyship will be fighting wars.
21:23 decimation unless one of them was a daughter who embarrassed his father?
21:23 mircea_popescu "you piss us off we're sending the girls over your place."
21:23 mircea_popescu decimation exactly. no ties, no killings.
21:24 decimation well I certainly agree that there would be fewer causalties, given that iraq is safer for said video-game boi than the US, but quite deadly for the average iraqi

21:45 ben_vulpes but miniaturized, and gate-switched for power output.
21:45 ben_vulpes er, power distribution i think may be the correct term?
21:45 BingoBoingo RagnarDanneskjol: Apparently they can't hold their liquor either, he croaked...

22:15 BingoBoingo <asciilifeform> heavy on the marx and engels << their names, but not ideas in any informed way, walked into local encampement at the time, no one wanted to debate hegel
22:15 decimation BingoBoingo: that would be amusing to watch (hegel debate) "Hegel who?"
22:16 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: i actually tried to talk to the occupy folks, purely for own amusement, on several occasions

22:30 BingoBoingo "Not everyone’s an entrepreneur, either. Some kids, poor kids, “urban” kids are scholars, in nucet. They may not have my rare and expensive equipment, sure. But whether the BBC does manage to agree that climate pseudo-science should be promoted as “the only alternative” or not, my hopes rest with a bunch of inner city negroes. No matter what, these kids will still carry through the world the ability to reason, and that
22:30 BingoBoingo ’s quite good enough for me. Fuck the instruments, as great as they are : they’ll make their own, and it’ll be the same anyway, because there’s exactly one way to make a great piece of lab equipment.

23:32 dreamstring While I have a voice, I'd like to put out for any developers interested in a possible position in a start up based around creating a mobile mining oriented cryptocurrency. The company is the Dreamstring platform, aiming to create a crypto that distributes supply and time using the fibonacci, as well as creating an equal distribution to each cellular phone user to download the mobile application.
23:33 dreamstring The app aims to distribute the currency to each person to download the free app equally, as well as offer different teirs/levels of accounts for shopping, buying/selling, and trading goods and services.

23:33 dreamstring im getting trolled arent i.
23:35 BingoBoingo dreamstring: nah, the red stuff is whale shit, not menstral painting
23:36 dreamstring damn man im all about that shark week but idk what this is getting at
23:38 BingoBoingo dreamstring: Well, what makes "mobile mining" special and desirable?
23:39 dreamstring Nothing besides the fact that by using a PoW/PoS hybrid you can group people into different teir groups based on their cell phones to make sure everyone is getting the same distribution of the currency.
23:39 dreamstring in theory the hashrate doesnt mean anything besides securing from a 51% and determining who contributed what amount of work
23:39 BingoBoingo And what does that offer anyone who has money that could give such a currency value?
23:39 dreamstring but that still ads to the rich get richer kinda aspect bitcoin is fighting against
23:40 dreamstring a deflationary currency
23:40 dreamstring and a global decentralized trading platform on every phone through a centralized security outlet
23:41 dreamstring it creates a whole new market really
23:41 dreamstring introduce peolpe in india/kenya/africa that use MPESA rn
23:41 BingoBoingo <dreamstring> but that still ads to the rich get richer kinda aspect bitcoin is fighting against << Who said this is a part of Bitcoin, Bitcoin fights the stupid getting richer...
23:41 dreamstring to an even market with people in the US
23:42 dreamstring my bad poor wording
23:42 dreamstring in the sense that those with money can afford more asics can afford to make more
23:42 dreamstring expotential profit
23:42 dreamstring this allows everyone to start off on an even note
23:43 dreamstring and then based on how you use your money that you are distributed, well the smart use it well/open their own stores on the market, the poor just get paid for having a phone
23:43 BingoBoingo What about people with money who don't want "smart" phones?
