mircea_popescu: for that matter, my "which of course is the very point" above is also "not very clear", in the sense that if one isn't particularly bright, the recursion of "what dk says is that people think they're better than they are" is not immediately glob'd into the expression.

decimation: yes, I couldn't find any mention of the costs of 'non-house' parts
asciilifeform: ^ yes, per unit
asciilifeform: clever chumpamatic
asciilifeform: decimation: you have to crap in an actual project to learn the costs
decimation: nor a catalog of parts that 'can be had for a price'
asciilifeform: it lets you fidget with the selections
decimation: ah, I will upload something and see what I can do
asciilifeform: their selection is, i'd say, rather spotty
asciilifeform: e.g., no 47K 0805 resistor of any grade
decimation: yes their house passive selection is very limited
decimation: and their non-passive even more so
asciilifeform: as for actives, virtually none to be had.

mircea_popescu: decimation ouch, amex kinda set to go out of biz huh.
mircea_popescu: the obvious effect of "keynesian" money pumping is bubbles, but that's not the worst effect.
mircea_popescu: the worst effect is that everything forms monopolies. in a physics intuitive approach, what QE does is basically increase the superficial tension. this forces bubbles to merge.
mircea_popescu: in another perspective, qe is an abdication of monetarty sovereignty. sovereignity is a fixed sum, so it just moves in other parts of the system - monopolies form.
mircea_popescu: but in any case, however you explain it on the "micro" basis : competition and central control are mutually contradictory. much like anabolic and catabolic processes.

The lender is working with companies including Uber Technologies Inc. and Apple Inc. to expand mobile payments, and courted Americans who lack access to traditional banks with products like its Bluebird prepaid card, offered at Wal-Mart Stores Inc."
asciilifeform: decimation: this is a pretty standard dynamic of 'leningrad siege, no coal, let's burn the sofa'
decimation: wtf, when did it ever make sense as a creditor to make enemies with those who had money in order to court those who don't?

asciilifeform: they cash in their 'brand' for chump massification
asciilifeform: (what is the 'added value' of a prepay spamcard with 'amex' logo? solely the psychological tie with 'rich')
decimation: kinda like how 'hp' now brands chumper printer cartridges, instead of quality reliable test equipment
asciilifeform: decimation: hp's been branding chumpcartridges since '90s
mircea_popescu: decimation the ones who "don't" are more valuable as bezzle access. the ones who "do" really don't.
asciilifeform: that's not the news, but that they stopped doing anything else. like the illusory growth of a corpse's beard
mircea_popescu: ie, boa was "too big to fail" because it held a lot of mortgages of people WHO COULDNT PAY FOR THEM.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile jpm was NOT tbtf, because it held a lot of money from people who had money, so it could you knoiw, just steal that,
mircea_popescu: so it didn't need govt money.
mircea_popescu: it quickly becomes perverse, the game of "let's have government in the market"
decimation: yeah there is no escape
mircea_popescu: by now a "we hold 100mn chumps, who pay us 0, give us usd" is a better revenue source than "we have 1mn people paying us 1k a year each"
mircea_popescu: as proven by, for instance, whatsdumb.
decimation: a dark force dissolves every economic decision into a sjw forum
mircea_popescu: well this is the problem, you know ? once you decide to try nuclear detonations in your livingroom you can no longer have "fresh milk"

Adlai: right, that's why it's showing up as an unrealized loss, rather than a realized gain
Adlai already bookkeeps in btc, but he lets the bot mostly do as it sees fit, which means it travels across the entire range of all-in-btc to all-in-fiat, should the market take it there

Adlai: bitcoin inflation subsidizes the operation of the world's most energy inefficient clock
Adlai: and it's quite imprecise, too
kakobrekla: clock is scam
kakobrekla: time is arbitrary
mircea_popescu: there's no way to express bitcoin in fiat terms. it's not "a clock", because the meaning of "a clock" does not carry in bitcoin. yes it divides time, but differently in fundamental ways.
mircea_popescu: "energy efficiency" is not a bitcoin consideration. all energy used for non-bitcoin stuff is wasted by definition, in the bitcoin paradigm.
mircea_popescu: etc etc.
mircea_popescu: heh. who even wants these new derpy tvs
mircea_popescu: i suppose the next step is, "participate in derpland has talent with your tv set!" and hopefully that'll relieve us of most of the current imbeciles online.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 36119 @ 0.00039193 = 14.1561 BTC [-] {2}
Adlai: mircea_popescu: _all_ energy, or the delta between current mining energy use, and half the planet's total energy expenditure?
Adlai: the economics change once unutilized energy is insufficient to attack the network
mircea_popescu: unrelated datapoints. half energy available \being used to mine bitcoin makes bitcoin safe for humans (safe in the sense of, won't be overrun by the altcoin problem)
Adlai suspects; take everything he says with the usual shaker of salt
mircea_popescu: as far as bitcoin is concerned, there's no point to energy other than mining.
Adlai: signing transactions takes a bit of energy, and without fees from signed transactions, there's no point to mining
mircea_popescu: no point in mining FOR HUMANS.
mircea_popescu: gotta compartimentalize the povs.
Adlai: ok, i see
Adlai: still, i'm not sure that there's a rational incentive to add energy to mining activity once X% of the planet's energy expenditure is dedicated to mining
Adlai: i guess it would depend on the profitability, which starts getting outside the scope of bitcoin itself
mircea_popescu: is there a rational incentive to continue adding man-hours to women's studies ?
mircea_popescu: rational incentives don't enter into it. as far as derpy social studies types are concerned, all effort available should go into that.
mircea_popescu: the difference is that they enforce this through statal redistribution, which lives out of a hole in public choice theory,
Adlai finds himself again bringing up kahneman, who talks about "humans" vs "econs", the latter describing the rational agents of economic theory, which don't actually exist on this planet
mircea_popescu: whereas bitcoin enforces this through the nature of money.
mircea_popescu: which will crumble in contact with the other is kinda obvious.
mircea_popescu: o yes they do. the "humans" don't exist.
mircea_popescu: a whiteknight is not a person. it's a manifestation of particular pathologies empowered by particular economic imbalances.
mircea_popescu: these always revert to the mean.
Adlai: i guess we just have different definitions of the word "human". mine is preceded with a huge "only".
Adlai next cites his dog's vet's tatoo, or at least the one he remembers: "humanity is overrated"
mircea_popescu: it's simple : inasmuch as your definition of "human" difers from "econ", it doesn't exist.
mircea_popescu: just like whatever in your definition of "human" differs from human biology is not objective but metaphysical.
Adlai: dunno, it makes perfect sense to me that computers produced by an evolutionary process would be far from perfect
Adlai: so "econs" are these mythical perfectly rational agents, and "humans" are these neurological shitshows full of neuroses and emotions that rarely act rationally. sure, some humans act quite rationally, but they're the exception.
mircea_popescu: if this is how you redefine your humans, i will change "don't exist" to "don't matter".
Adlai: sure. mattering is like driving skill... most datapoints think they're on the opposite side of the curve
mircea_popescu: (ie, "can't carry meaning". just like the foregoing it's also logically necessary, no debate possible. it flows from what you're saying, which is essentially "humans are noise". sure. but noise doesn't really matter. like brownian motion.)
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 23300 @ 0.00040355 = 9.4027 BTC [+]
Adlai: dunno, nature can still matter, even if individual snowflakes in an avalanche or looters in a mob, could be removed without significantly affecting the whole. i choose the mob analogy purposefully, because these effects are rarely (ever?) constructive... construction seems to take either "superhuman" capacity (and effort), or enough time for differential reproductive fitness to do its thing
mircea_popescu: but that "nature" === "econ"
Adlai: <insufficient data for meaningful answer)
Adlai: i'm not convinced that "nature" as a whole can be considered an "econ"
mircea_popescu: just, 'no particular inclination to gaze upon chtulhu'
mircea_popescu: but review the definitions :)
Adlai: it's definitely something else, not "human" - but does it act in its own rational self interest? i'm not sure the concept of "self interest" is meaningful when you're talking about "nature"
Adlai: cf "the planet is fine, the people are fucked"
Adlai: i won't dispute that nature computes.
mircea_popescu: "the planet is fine, the people are fucked" is what people say when they can't digest the obvious "if you could understand more, you could understand more"
Adlai: do you know the source?
mircea_popescu: the planet is fine. "the people" are fine. you are stupid, and your friends ridiculous.
mircea_popescu: carlin neh ?
Adlai: it's carlin on environmentalism, yes
mircea_popescu: he doesn't mean the people = "the people". he means the people = your friends.
Adlai: the tl;dr is that "saving the environment" is silly because the environment exists with or without its "savers", and that the real meaning behind "saving the environment" is "keeping this environment as hospitable as possible to us"
Adlai has no friends
mircea_popescu: more like, "saving the environment" is just as silly as any one thing a bunch of useless, stupid and ignorant entities that only exist because nobody ground uncle sam into the ground yet could ever do.
Adlai: and now, for something completely different!
mircea_popescu: think "occupywallstreet" or "feminism" or w/e. "the luxor center for businessmen". these collections don't actually do anything, it's not unlike a coral discussing which way to undulate for saving the whales.
Adlai: when you designed mpex's 'quantum' matching engine, did you consider proposals of the "frequent batch auction" persuasion? i have no stake in this idea, just collecting opinions on it, as i form my own
mircea_popescu: very little about mpex has been publicly discussed.
Adlai: sure, but "frequent batch auction" has been published about a few times
mircea_popescu: good fer it i guess.
Adlai: the actual paper, if anybody is interested in more than a slideshow, is http://view.samurajdata.se/psview.php?id=271992c2&page=1
Adlai: mircea_popescu: i'll take that as a "haven't heard/cared about it", which is still a datapoint
mircea_popescu: lol kay.
Adlai had heard the buzzword, hadn't bothered to actually read about it until now
mircea_popescu: maybe better take it as "this man won't give me for free stuff that people might get if they pay upwards of six figures in fees. my feeble attempts to defeat his defences through 9yo discoursive tactics are probably going to fare about as well as 9yos generally fare against multi million dollar concerns."
Adlai: it's an interesting idea, although i must say that - as i understand it without having read the entire paper - it's too deterministic for my tastes. i kinda like the idea of deliberately random behavior.

mircea_popescu: Yet another one of them is that consumers revolt, entrepreneurs intervene, before the end of 2015 there's about a thousand to a million different Bitcoin forks, each with its ten million-ish monetary base worth about a dollar, on global average. The size of the inter-Bitcoins market, the complexity and confusion ensuing makes pretty much everything unmanageable for the "ordinary person".

mircea_popescu: which is fine, they can struggle for as long as they can gather the energy.

benjamindees: so, you're saying sidechains are better than alts
mircea_popescu: all screws are better than thumbtacks for the man holding a hammer.
benjamindees: "there are two avenues to pay for it." <-- I disagree with this, by the way. The third avenue is to pay for it with more transactions, since the major costs (mining) are fixed.
mircea_popescu: so your avenue to pay for your starbucks is a) give them some of your money ; b) borrow some money to give them or c) buy another soda ?
mircea_popescu: what is this, the cartoons ?
benjamindees: more transactions == growth in transaction volume == more fees, not just higher fees
Adlai: benjamindees: wait, let's back up a bit, if not for your then my sake. what's the point of sidechains? i don't think it's "paying for bitcoin mining"
Adlai thinks that federated sidechains are a great idea and cointip, bitbase, changepay, whatever they're called - should be using those, if they want transparency

benjamindees: I've seen a couple of people say similar things. It seemed natural that if you are for a 1MB limit, you would be for sidechains as an avenue for growth or at least to keep the alts at bay.

Although it is just as possible to be poor and happy in America as anywhere else, here one must make a choice: to avoid any number of unpleasant situations, one must be careful to hide either the fact that one is poor, or the fact that one is happy. If free public money is to be obtained, then only the latter choice remains. It is another curious fact that vast nu

thestringpuller: "blocks" : 180631
mod6: ok 180631 and no errors, looking good. see, it's inconsistant :)
thestringpuller: $ openssl version
thestringpuller: OpenSSL 0.9.8o 01 Jun 2010
thestringpuller: this is an older box.
mod6: you're on debian 7 right?
mod6: we're running on squeeze (deb 6)
thestringpuller: Ah. damn that was so long ago ~_~
mod6: you might be the first to be testing on deb7, not sure.
thestringpuller: if it gets current blockheight, i'll open up ports and run this as my full node instead of 0.8 version was tricked in to using.
mod6: thanks for testing. if you put together a pastebin of your findings: `./bitcoind getinfo` `openssl version -a`, etc. that would be helpful for our permutation matrix
thestringpuller: i'll wait until it either hits a wall or gets current.
mod6: ok thats awesome. although, i think what everyone has been running up to now is a dynamically linked version of the output binary. which shouldn't even be availab.e
thestringpuller: i didn't grok that sentence sorry
punkman: I compiled and run up to wedge on deb 7
mod6: when statically linking via the makefile.unix that's included with v0.5.3, I can't even get mine to compile correctly. So, I'll be spending a lot of time probably re-writing the entire makefile
thestringpuller: well this is from pl script v 0.0.8?
mod6: what sentence tsp?
mod6: yeah.
thestringpuller: oh dynamically linking vs static
mod6: it'll build, it'll build the `bitcoind` binary dyamically linked.
mod6: which we won't support.
thestringpuller: what's the benefit of static linking?
mod6: for the last 48 hours i've been working on trying to get it to build against static libs.
mod6: it will build all of the necessary things inside of the output binary, instead of leaving that stuff to call out to a seperate place
thestringpuller: okay i see. been a lot longer than I realize before really looking at C/C++ code. (although this i pretty much all boost which I guess alf pointed out)
mod6: makes for a larger output binary (by about 10mb) but is more safe incase someone were to do something nasty with a lib that is dynamically linked
mod6: well, w/e
thestringpuller: they have sentenced me to writing ruby for slave labor
mod6: aight. so yeah, stay tuned. as soon as I get anything working with static libs and static linking of the output object files from the bitcoin source base, I'll give an update.
thestringpuller: do you have specific usecase for inducing the wedge?
mod6: it probably will take a while.
thestringpuller: for if I wanted to test that.
mod6: thestringpuller: no.
mod6: it's inconsistant.
thestringpuller: "non-deterministic" lol
mod6: as you just proved, it'll make it past it sometimes, and sometimes not. im sure there is some sort of reason for this, but we dont know what it is at this time.
thestringpuller: life's great mysteries?
mod6: Naw.
mod6: We'll figure it out at somepoint. I think, for now the important thing is that we have a workaround.
mod6: There's a lot of moving parts in there, and deps. It's hard to put a finger on what exactly it is, right now. Especially since we are all using slightly different environments. Too many variable.s
mod6: Anyway, none of this really matters until we can get a statically linked build.
thestringpuller: cazalla: replied. awaiting moderation.
