Duffer1: weren't dozens killed by snipers?
chetty: eh the list is longer than that .. they just don't make the news anymore
bitcoinpete: Just like they didn't get Apple in the late 90's and Twitter before the turn of the last decade
bitcoinpete: Then I couldn't get enough and here I am
BingoBoingo: I made decent BTC through early 2013 abusing altcoins and betting, but seeing how fast shit was rising made the mistake of cashing out too readily because I wasn't as read in trilema as I could have been.
BingoBoingo: I was lucky to come into the space when ASIC in general looked like scams but GPUs didn't look promising either.
BingoBoingo: Swatted it and smashed it into the covers (only evidence it was a scorpion was the parts intact. Didn't completely wake up then, but... When I woke up I couldn't sit.
BingoBoingo: They leave a welt a lot bigger than any bee does, but they don't do anything life threatening.
BingoBoingo: The missouri scorpions aren't too bad though.
bitcoinpete: the higher levels aren't like the backyard stuff
BingoBoingo: Seriously, if it wasn't for the electric line I would have taken down the rest of the thing myself, sunroom be damned.
BingoBoingo: I don't think I've actualy shaved, rather than merely trimmed my face in the past year, but I have shaved my head probably 10 times more frequently than I have hard my hair trimmed.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Understandable. It really doesn't take much distance to find places from here where that is true.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I like that Salmon doesn't live long enough to accumulate the weird shit tuna does.
gribble: Are Birth Control Pills Changing Evolution? - ViewZone: <http://www.viewzone.com/estrogen.html>; Progesterone Won't Shield Women Against Alzheimer's - ABC News: <http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Healthday/story?id=4509571&page=1>; Powerpoint_24_13 - the Department of Animal Sciences: <http://www.ansci.wisc.edu/jjp1/ansci_repro/lec/lec_24_human/lec24_13.ppt>
mike_c: can't be as bad as a mac that sends the contents of your hard drive to the cloud for you.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: wasn't talking about browser 'user agent' data, either
mike_c: there is supposed to be a command with jam that will generate a VC workspace, but it didn't work.
Duffer1: don't hate
mike_c: will do, but that box is in the office so it won't be til monday.
mircea_popescu: generally you can tell who they're affraid of by checking who they don't mention.
mircea_popescu: i don't remember the last time a bank released something intelligent.
BingoBoingo: Goldman offers non-answers and suggests problems that are actually well documented non-problems. Either the Janitor is answering questions or they don't want to admit they are buying coins.
BingoBoingo: I know mircea_popescu suggested peppers, but with skin intact, much of the entertainment isn't going to leave the pepper.
bitcoinpete: Couldn't say
pankkake: I didn't know that when I started creating bets though!
the20year1: don't you have to back your bets?
BingoBoingo: Wait for lines that don't seem priced right, still lose a lot and hope EV come.
pankkake: well, I guess it depends on the gamble. I'd agree that most things gamblers and traders think as skill isn't
pankkake: by definition it should be, otherwise it isn't effective?
kakobrekla: Whatever may be said against dogecoin, the fact is that it has gained traction very rapidly and become a very serious coin for trading. Why wouldn't a serious exchange want to offer it? We are after all in the trading business.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform btw if it wasn;t obvious, base 10 because of the exaflops.
benkay: !t h rent
mircea_popescu: (l conway is actually quoted by name as the reason i can't quite declare transsexualism out of this world, in my article about transsexualism)
mircea_popescu: @Mircea_Popescu @ligayaya @nrrrdcore Of course you don't think so. Oppressors honestly think they're just being nice.
mircea_popescu: @ligayaya @Mircea_Popescu @nrrrdcore actually, I don't think it is. at all.
nubbins`: they did mention audio was borked, didn't think it was a breaking problem tho
mike_c: i can pastebin it, but i don't believe it is modified from the download bundle (if you have that)
mike_c: obviously i don't have the game working though.
nubbins`: mike_c: haven't had much time to look at it the past few days. having some issues getting crystalspace up and running
greenspan_fan: enh. just doesn't seem like a good thing to get involved with
greenspan_fan: It's not for me. I've seen that movie w/ keanu reeves. I don't even know kung fu.
greenspan_fan: but I don't have l33t hacker skillz
benkay: no, i just don't want any french fries.
ThickAsThieves: "I don't want french fries." "Oh you already ate?"
Jere_Jones: Yeah. I didn't know the snsa part. :)
davout: i can't believe it's not some sort of clever gopro ad
mike_c: mircea_popescu: i don't know what the discrepency is, but my logs disagree with that. Like I am seeing that Jan. 25th and Jan. 28th were basically down all day and I just got stock bid/asks from the market depth feed. who knows. i'll look for bugs in my poller sometime.
asciilifeform: davout: because it doesn't appear until the trigger is pulled
jurov: i don't believe anything more is achievable while providing srvice to chumps
jurov: i don't think it's absolutely necessary consequence
davout: asynchronicity is merely a consequence of "the frontend doesn't know shit about where the sensitive server is"
davout: the GPG-signature and address generation can't happen on the web facing servers
jurov: pity there isn't a plugin that can verify it, tho
davout: i don't have a definitive answer
davout: jurov: i'm used to ozbot fetching the <title>, doesn't really matter :-)
ThickAsThieves: gmaxwell: wumpus: yea, I understand they had timed automatic reissues... :( this was also something I didn't know prior to monday before last and is one of the other reasons my "they couldn't have lost much!" position softened to "I have no freeking clue." ☟︎

Vexual: i ypothesise that you can't put too many ants into a colony, something normal will happen
mircea_popescu: sane people couldn't care less. when kid's had enough holding his breath he'll give up on it.
mircea_popescu: but it doesn't even have them.
mircea_popescu: not only those aren't the valuable aspects of bitcoin
greenspan_fan: I just don't really see an upside to tedious interference by lansky et. al.
greenspan_fan: plus, you're assuming that technical talent doesn't respond to things like patriotism
mircea_popescu: they'd hire some people who wouldn't be spilling their beans each year.
mircea_popescu: you're desperate to spend it, and the people you need to do things aren't desperate to get it.
mircea_popescu: their bitcoin being, of course, dollars, we couldn't, of course, care less.
mircea_popescu: they don't need your billion.
mircea_popescu: not that you couldn't have run, achilles, but that you neglected the turtle.
greenspan_fan: I think we're mainly in disagreement w/r/t whether or not they'd be able to meaningfully intervene
greenspan_fan: I don't even really know how the us economy functions, but it does, after a fashion
mircea_popescu: wait, aren't you missing a a4 ?
mircea_popescu: a1 and a2 aren't true tho.
mircea_popescu: i can't identify a shared one even.
mircea_popescu: they aren't ?!
greenspan_fan: he (and his suspiciously low desk) aren't on your side. They might not be against you, but it's still not a great idea to do your best to hand over control to the first guy with a title and incipient back problems who comes along
greenspan_fan: it's a marginal risk w/r/t bitcoin, but jeez, one wishes everyone could just get w/ the program w/o all these false steps
mircea_popescu: greenspan_fan so then act that way don't expect that way :D
mircea_popescu: but you don't have a drivethrough in your country.
mircea_popescu: don't break anything.
greenspan_fan: I can't even find a keyboard that has the greek alphabet in it
mircea_popescu: in the sense that at the time french didn't exist latin had been used continuously by millions for millenia
benkay: hah i get it fills their brains with ideas they can't handle
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't use it raw like that.
mircea_popescu: it just doesn't have a numeric value
mircea_popescu: you perhaps imagine mankind hasn't been using computers before the numeric machines. this would be false.
mircea_popescu: greenspan_fan nah, they simply don't know math. that's their saving grace.
mircea_popescu: benkay the book is better, strictly because it doesn't have the tools to overfit with.
benkay: i don't really expect accuracy on predictions of the behavior of a really complex multidimensional set of oscillators and dampers (see: planetary processes of weather etc) with totally unknown coupling from a set of modelers whose heads gotta be up they asses much less a book from a ways back
mircea_popescu: it'll drain somewhere. you don't really want to buy the riverbed, i guess, but if you disperse your ownership you gotta average out ok.
greenspan_fan: Vexual: ozone depletion, so you get (more) cancer w/ your tan? I haven't looked at it in years though
greenspan_fan: if climate change worries you, looking at the reports they don't really publicize that some places stand to benefit
mircea_popescu: so if you don't have time, have a potato.
mircea_popescu: greenspan_fan nope, you can't "analyze" the blockchain,
greenspan_fan: (don't know if anyone has already mentioned it)
cazalla: even if they had my coins, i wouldn't sit out there all day
mircea_popescu: you don't want to keep the job where he a) isn't smarter and b) can't cope.
mircea_popescu: decimation the idea isn't to "skim stuff" and try to pass it as your own. the idea is this :
mircea_popescu: i know the general opinion is that omg copying is bad or w/e, but i don't hold it. any painter worth a shit was made by copying the old masters in his own hand. it's how you become a good writer, rewrite fucking hemingway
mircea_popescu: it wouldn't hurt him if he did.
