mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well, this'd be what
i mean. capitulation what ?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu:
i guess let them live in ignorance as long as said ignorance doesn't interfere with the adults?
adlai: well if
i ever meet the guy again,
i'll be sure to tell him mircea_popescu thanks him for not buying his divestment.
mircea_popescu: adlai
i don't see the problem with this objection ? "they are. that's what
i'm telling you. you don't use greek bronze weights, do you ?"
thestringpuller: reminds me of conversation
I had with CVS cashier. dude was fresh out of high school and
I began explaining how banks worked cause
I was furious the ATM fees were 5 bucks in that store. anyhow after 5 minutes of confusion cause kid didn't pay attention in school states, "
I ain't trynna think that hard man.
I'm done with school."
adlai: meh,
i spam enough myself, no need to facilitate spamming by schroedinger's idiots.
thestringpuller: sometimes
I wonder if we went down another path where the educational toys actually make the next generation more stupid.
i always thought it interesting that "children of the future will be smarter"
mircea_popescu:
i mean yes, it's true that most of the firemen are kids that played with fire trucks. it is however quite pointedly not true that most of the equipment down at the fire station is toy fire trucks brought in by conscientious neighbourhood kids.
mircea_popescu: nobody goes "
i'm going to hire joe, he's kinda meh but he has a kickass workstation!".

i dunno why you think this odd. as far as my experience goes, 100% of english language literature (long before the days orwell quit and his naive, square jawed colonial subjects took over the pretense of empire) is exactly this "here are our assumptions, which clearly paint us as utterly and hopelessly stupid, let's lampshade it and carry on".

i missed, when
i switched back to reading "the tunnels of cu chi" (mega book), so not sure if the gentoo recipe was posted
massiro: To adlai's asking,
I'm an occasional bettor at bbet. Sorry to omit introducing about myself.
massiro:
I think it has something to do with the release of Core-0.12 (23rd February 2016).
massiro:
I'm sad to hear the Jeb Bush payout accident...
assbot: Logged on 05-01-2016 05:55:53; massiro: The above site says the fee is 0.001 BTC so
I think it is more than enough. Is this related to low/high S value problem?
massiro:
I wanted to share info about the payout problem with Jeb-Bush-Nomination.
adlai: sorry massiro, should
I have said "fix your connection"?

I suspect it will have to graduate from a pogo to an "edgerouter lite" sometime in the next few months.
adlai: mircea_popescu:
i found it and submitted a second comment, but both seem to have caught in the lo-pass
trinque: "WHY MUST
I LIFT ALL THIS MYSELF?!?!11!"
trinque: asciilifeform: you may be the most impossible man
I've ever encountered.
adlai wonders about his own predicament; people keep telling him to blog about it, but, as the latin teacher said when asked why he gave up correcting people's mispronounciation of his name: "
I hate people"
trinque: ah in place of tinyscheme genesis
I would wager
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes ok but
i don't get what you're saying here.
trinque:
I can press up to asciilifeform_tx-orphanage_amputation.vpatch
mircea_popescu:
i have nfi who told the dumbass that sort of behaviour is independent or whatever the fuck she thinks it is.
mircea_popescu:
i saw it in frieda and
i thought it's prolly the role, right ?
BingoBoingo:
I guess #b-a is the most ecumenical religious gathering around
BingoBoingo:
I thought it involved collecting more devil worshipping redheads than
I've managed to cage
BingoBoingo: Oh, crap!
I didn't realize
I'd become muslim
mircea_popescu:
i'm kinda waiting for the lulzy moment when "the community" decides he's you know, religious nut bla bla, then it's revealed he hangs out just fine with flaming iconoclasts such as yours truly, famous stake-in-butt practitioners like alf, sunni muftis like yourself, cascadians and what other scandalous outrages there be in this here menagerie

☟︎ mircea_popescu: "Yea so you are an idiot. There’s no need to comment and make these shitty articles. Who are you to determine what “false churches” are? Religion is something an Indevidul believes in. It is what the said person puts their faith and trust in.
I just think you should read up and do your research before posting nonsense. Thanks."
mircea_popescu: in other news,
i'm kinda curious what comes of this danielpbarron blog in the end.
BingoBoingo: Anyways
I cast my ballot on paper that was machine read.
phf:
i started my purposeful computing education by accidentally nuking windows 95 install while trying to get rise of the triad to work!
phf:
i've been coding gwbasic on my libretto.
i remember a bearded su closed research facility forth guy was telling me "basic rots the brain, man, we get these developers who are forever ruined,
i tell you" that was in 96.
i wonder what he thinks of present crop...
mircea_popescu:
i guess the point
i'm getting at is that teaching technology is always and everywhere a secondary concern to the human quality of they being taught.
phf: prince of persia would be a step up from the "haaweeey kids
i'm ratty the friendly rat and
i'm going to teach you, 15 year old adults, about long division. it's haaaaard!"
BingoBoingo: phf: The qntra is actually being written on a medical topic, but
I was googling the "war on computing" link and was pleasantly surprised when qntra was #1
mircea_popescu:
i am unpersuaded better curricula could have been devised.
mircea_popescu: when
i was a kid, computing class consisted of prince of persia.
phf: BingoBoingo:
i've not read the article yet, but truth is,
i'm yet to meet a teacher at a conference who's at all qualified to teach computing to kids. at best the approach is entirely experiental, "when you see a tiger^W^Wa popup, you should run away^W^Wcall a teacher" or "
https stands for secure!", and the educational tooling is at best an inferior rip off of Scratch but more likely a scattershot gamification of hodge podge algorithmic

i work in a shop where the modem hiccups and 80% work - stops...

i've been to education conferences, and
i hafta tell ya, it's not very good
phf: ben_vulpes:
i dunno,
i've seen some pathological cases in json readers, "too nesty" at 10kb could be one of them
ben_vulpes: holmes
i can read 10mb of json into memory naively and not even begin to sweat the phone.
ben_vulpes:
i cannot imagine what is going on over there.

I was under the impression that bitbet shares get either a part of the sale of assets or 0.00001, whichever is higher, are you saying they get both?

☟︎ thestringpuller: not early enough though.
i should have been in office about an hour and half ago, but whatever.
nubbins`:
i think he got mad because a bunch of poor renters who don't own computers weren't able to find the time to get on irc, find #b-a, take a photograph of themselves holding a sign, set up a btc wallet, &c &c &c &c &c
nubbins`:
i rarely dabble in retail sales, but when
i do, it's generally worth it
nubbins`: cazalla FWIW
i'm selling another run of posters right now, and
i bumped up the price by about 50%

assbot: Logged on 14-03-2016 16:33:32; phf:
i think this question is receiving far less attention then the alleged miner collusion.
i would've liked to see it approached through a judge (perhaps moon is a harsh mistress style "would you be our judge?"), a carefully constructed paper, an investigation, rather than bickering in logs.
i think the question is also separate from receivership and is about ensuring that the rest of tmsr maintain a shared vision
assbot: Logged on 14-03-2016 16:33:30; phf: nubbins`: the core of the issue (the way
i understand it) is whether or not mp can use personal funds to pay out bets, and whether he can later ask for those funds back from shareholders. that seems to contradict the contract, so the accusation goes, he's in breach of contract. seems simple enough.
assbot: Logged on 14-03-2016 16:33:27; phf: nubbins`:
i think it's a pointless to discuss (and takes away from the core of the issue) whether or not miners are conspiring against bitbet. ascii's been known to say that lizard hitler personally disconnected his node, nobody cared to pipe in then, because it's an established local way of talking and thinking (не веришь прими за сказку). miners are a cartel, they can collectively decide
nubbins`:

i also didn't think it was a worthwhile conversation to have, but
i wasn't about to just watch mp make the ludicrous claim that bitcoin has been forked by a chinese mining cabal, ostensibly with the intention of tranferring all the suckers in this chan over to MPCoin, just because his 0-fee tx got bogged down.
☝︎ nubbins`: phf: "solicited a judge from the wot" is meaningless, unless you know something
i don't.
phf: ben_vulpes: you can't trick me,
i've been to portland, and
i gotta tell ya, there's not much starving going on there
ben_vulpes: "great idea!
i guess we don't need any custom software after all."
ben_vulpes: phf: that's an advantage.
i can't fleece people effectively with software, being too honest.
phf: ben_vulpes:
i suspect they don't know what they are doing
ben_vulpes: phf:
i clearly have no business being in business.
