asciilifeform very few things store as much (relatively) high fidelity data, and are at the same time as easy to duplicate, as film. [00:01]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform actually a cd stores more/better, but [00:02]
mircea_popescu there were some people looking into crystal doping storage [00:02]
nubbins` but bit rot isn't always noticeable until too late [00:02]

mircea_popescu dub: so one half of our sepcies should require additional training to protect its ass from the other half? << yes. [00:11]
mircea_popescu in general, whenever one wants to deal with the world on one's own terms, one's required to take aditional training, and ALSO be talented. [00:11]
mircea_popescu otherwise, one can just learn to enjoy the process. [00:11]
chetty dub: so one half of our sepcies should require additional training to protect its ass from the other half? << yes.// I doubt it works out to halves [00:12]
mircea_popescu this has nothing to do with women. when i don't want to be treated like a fucking retarded tourist and charged 2 to 5 x everything, i learn and use the fucking local language. [00:12]

mircea_popescu mike_c were you ? like what ? [00:16]
mike_c like at local convience store at 3am [00:17]
mircea_popescu yeabut i mean what you buy and what'd you pay [00:17]
mike_c hmm.. what i paid would tax the memory. but just like drinks and stuff. [00:18]
mircea_popescu was kinda curious what the actual factor was :p [00:18]
jurov http://ronja.twibright.com/optar/ can store 200kB/page..means 100k pages for today's blockchain [00:18]

mircea_popescu and actually good camels, as opposed to the fire-retardant, chemical blend crap they sell in the us/eu to justify the theory that smoking causes cancer [00:19]
mike_c taste decent? i know this guy that gets dirt cheap smokes in canada and they taste like you're smoking somebody else's cigarette after they were done with it. [00:19]
mthreat taxis in buenos aires are often cheaper than a bus ride in the US [00:19]

mircea_popescu now, 4k txn / second is nothing if you srsly aspire to be visa. [02:27]
benkay so this implies a rather hard fork. [02:27]
asciilifeform i thought blockchain only aspires to be 'good delivery brick' vs. visa [02:28]
benkay and weren't you just harping on the upsides to a size-constrained block? more competition for limited resources? [02:28]
mircea_popescu it just implies "accessibility" is about as dumb a thing to think about re bitcoin as you know, speeding tickets for snails. [02:28]

TheNewDeal you would give a amount, say 1 BTC, and we would tack on a timeweight to it [06:05]
* pgrewr (~pgrewr@c-76-24-93-8.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) has joined #bitcoin-assets [06:05]

TheNewDeal that I would pay out to your address [06:06]
TheNewDeal does that make any sense? [06:07]
TheNewDeal timeweight would be agreed upon beforehand [06:07]
BingoBoingo TheNewDeal: Sure. That's about half of the question's answer. What of instead of BTC for positions the trade was positions for positions? [06:08]
TheNewDeal thats possible. I have 5.6 total BTC in for a timeweight of ~197,000. Care to share what you're trying to trade? [06:09]
mircea_popescu but if they're bets are going to be a large portion of the gains/losses, it seems like investors would want to know what their history has been on the bets << you know investors can readily revbiew this as they're all published [06:09]

TheNewDeal let's say I were to send you a fraction of a BTC (let's say a half) on the no bet. Would you consider giving me a larger timeweight than what you have bet at? [06:29]
BingoBoingo TheNewDeal: I'd actually be more interested in swapping a fraction of the no for a fraction of the Yes. If we are trading Bitcoin against the position... I'd maybe be interested in offering a bit of extra timeweight. [06:32]

asciilifeform at any rate, Hg has >2x the density of Ga. and the latter, unlike Hg, won't boil on a gas flame. [17:24]

mircea_popescu more's the point, you've not had the benefit of manyyear's worth of having thought about what the people trying to fake it might have thought about [17:25]
mircea_popescu i think this problem is often misrepresented by all the young cocks starting new things. [17:26]
asciilifeform that's actually the part that intrigues me - how do we fake gallium [17:26]
asciilifeform because i could really use some [17:26]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform the definityion of a fake is not being useful. [17:26]
asciilifeform well, 'fake' in this case is, achieve the melting point, with a well-conductive substance [17:27]
asciilifeform (incidentally ampoule could include electrodes for testing conductivity [17:27]
asciilifeform ) [17:27]
jurov now that's something [17:28]
mircea_popescu prolly best so far, because you can measure resistance etc [17:28]
asciilifeform but in that case the ampoule could not be full. you must be able to tilt it, to expose electrode (perhaps a scammer simply placed a resistor there) [17:28]
asciilifeform of course, resistor could be trivially exposed with frequency sweep / bode plot (skin effect on Ga blob != impedence of ordinary resistor) [17:29]
jurov also one needs to verify there is no cavity or tungsten bar placed in the middle [17:29]
asciilifeform lol! jurov, look at periodic table [17:29]
asciilifeform but yes, people would at least try. so, contents of flask must pour freely. [17:30]
asciilifeform verify that liquid. [17:30]
asciilifeform ideal container would probably be a toroid, half-empty [17:31]
mircea_popescu you cant really fake metal to electrodes [17:31]
mircea_popescu but yes a ring of ga. [17:31]
mircea_popescu sounds pretty cool actually [17:32]

asciilifeform not worth it unless you're paid for the sweat (or perhaps half a step ahead of the gasenwagen...) [21:45]
asciilifeform going back to mr mold: [21:48]
asciilifeform 'Sacco and Vanzetti came up with an entirely different solution to the slow-MMU problem, one which if I do say so myself was less imaginative than mine, but both more general and more practical. They published theirs in a real conference, received much acclaim for it, and I believe patented it, started a so-called company and eventually sold it to Microsoft.' [21:48]
asciilifeform 'At some point during this period, however, I realized that the entire problem was a complete and utter pseudo-problem. ... So I am very confident that neither of these techniques, neither mine nor Sacco and Vanzetti's, has ever been used in practice. There is no need for them, there has never been any need for them, and there will never be any need for them. And this was quite obvious in 1993.' [21:49]
asciilifeform 'My Navrozov moment, of course, was when I approached one of the two - Sacco, I think - and attempted to have an intellectual discussion of this realization. The story is basically the same as Navrozov's, so it would be boring to repeat, but basically I came away with the feeling that I'd told someone his Sicilian grandmother liked to get drunk and fuck her own goats.' [21:49]
asciilifeform 'Which, in fact, I had. Because I'd essentially told him his research was fraudulent. The fact that my research was also fraudulent, and that neither of ours was particularly noteworthy in that regard, did not matter. And why should it? Others' crimes cannot excuse your own.' [21:49]
