mircea_popescu: no fucking individual member of the public has even 1% of the intellectual werewithal to even consider the matter in the sense of putting all its disparate elements on the table ; let alone drive a sane conclusion from the mess.
asciilifeform: phf: the last thing i recall TaT doing is, mircea_popescu offered him a co-authorship on something or other, and TaT refused because afraid of gassing
mircea_popescu: apparently it's a very contondent question.
asciilifeform: and seem to recall that TaT quit #b-a under somewhat questionable circumstances.
PeterL: basically it is just another reason for a bunch of reporters to write blathering articles about the drama of the republican nomination race
PeterL: so far, only Trump has met that threshold, so even if he doesn't get a majority of delegates he could still win
PeterL: they made a rule saying to get nominated you need a majority of delegates from 8 states
mircea_popescu: "PaulFest in 2012: a week-long thing in Florida leading up to the Republican National Convention in which last-minute rule changes to keep Ron Paul out were hastily voted into place; rule changes which are today responsible for the Trump phenomenon" << plox to detail this for me ?
mircea_popescu: gotta get a log of this place up soon, wtf are all the stalkers gonna do.
asciilifeform: l0l TaT returns to #b-a
mircea_popescu: ftr if i click the pic i get a "page not found". is this intentional ?
danielpbarron: if i was that much of a drinker
danielpbarron: i wouldn't know, I never got a vip pass because who cares anyway
danielpbarron: to get around this, the porcfest organizers sell VIP passes that grant access to a free booze tent
mircea_popescu: incidentally, how much is a bottle of champagne at porcfest ?
PeterL: are you going to start a new WoT or import the one from assbot?
trinque: mircea_popescu: it's using a password with that nick, strange that it's not auth'd
PeterL: does this chan have a log?
mircea_popescu: and so, this is the end for this particular irc channel as a venue for tmsr. the irc festivities are moving over to #trilema ; with a more selective lordship list and improved tools all around. you're welcome to join - but leave the fiat mind behind, lest it drag you too back down into the swamp.

mircea_popescu: vaguely defining the group in question, ad-hoc or after the fact, does not resolve the problem, one's still a poltroon. appeals to "science" or "law" or whatever other conveniently vague abstraction still doesn't resolve the fact that one's placed himself on the hostis humani generis side of the debate.
mircea_popescu: i can readily understand that fiatism has been for all and sundry the unique way of life, since "forever" ; i can see how the shit is well ensconced and difficult to wash off. nevertheless, loyalty to a group, as opposed to the individual, is still socialism, as much so as either GOP or NSDAP ever were. preserve that and you preserve it all.
mircea_popescu: upon consideration, i see no reason to continue supporting or otherwise encourage kakobrekla's bizarre worldview. on the contrary, i view further involvement with the nonsense as considerable moral hazard, and a miserable thing to do altogether. ☟︎☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: 'For open source code, you read the code, line by line, verify that it is in fact safe to run. You then issue a PGP-signed certificate which pretty much says "I the X of Y have reviewed the below code and judged it safe in accordance with Z".'
assbot: Probably the hottest business idea of the moment in BTC... on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1MuIkIg )
asciilifeform: http://i.imgur.com/Q8Oofs3.jpg << 'bitcoin atm'. first time i ever even saw such a thing.
asciilifeform: '..twelve people between the ages of nine and sixty, including a coupla teenaged girlies, that stops in the door.' << we have these here !
mircea_popescu: it was like a mile away or some shit.

BingoBoingo: Aha, but if you put it on a Calendar it becomes pinup.
BingoBoingo: crap I forgot a link
jurov: lmao i saw even one proclaimed "a lumberjack" cuz of the axe
jurov: eh, bear pin ups are complete with just a firefighter gear
BingoBoingo: I'm just kind of surprised this sort of overtooling isn't a big thing in bear pin up art.
jurov: BingoBoingo: does anyone in the chan actually need a truck on regular basis?

assbot: Young Educated Urban Anglophone Male. on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1RmyCrq )
asciilifeform: on a happy note, appreciate how much ~aggressive sanity~ is baked into ada. it is routine, for example, to program ~without a heap~ !
asciilifeform: i vaguely recall a dark age jvm backend for gcc, perhaps it turned into this.
shinohai: "JGNAT is a version compiled from the Ada programming language to Java bytecode." <<< srsly?
assbot: 4 results for 'idiomatic c' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=idiomatic+c
asciilifeform: shinohai: it's a misery, i must warn.
assbot: Logged on 27-03-2016 10:24:02; asciilifeform: incidentally, gnat is actually written in ada. and is quite readable... (in as much as such a thing can be called readable)
asciilifeform: the ~total unavailability of derplibraries (~no open-sores 'ecosystem') in ada land also has a cleansing effect.
asciilifeform: incidentally, gnat is actually written in ada. and is quite readable... (in as much as such a thing can be called readable) ☟︎
asciilifeform: (the other choice, if trying to escape from ada, is to ditch the c-machine silicon, but i just checked my sofa cushion and still did not find a spare $10m in it with which to do this.)
asciilifeform: (i considered and rejected ml and haskell for this reason. go and explain how they work! can spend a fucking career on that. ick)
shinohai: > tfw 24 hours of logs fits in a single screen now.
mats: looks like a text to speech thing
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu nm re: (b) but still puzzled re: (a)
BingoBoingo: Seems to be a quiet time in general, dunno if a good or bad thing
ben_vulpes makes a note to name the next box lilith
danielpbarron: heh, i accidentally named a computer 'ester' when I meant to name it 'esther'
BingoBoingo: The extra h turns it into a recognizable people name
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-03-2016#1440394 << i remember my first taste of the stuff, a distant relative brought in a bottle (the old-school glass kind, with the trademarked shape) -- 'it is like eating a hive of bees' ☝︎
BingoBoingo: But that to a person
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It's what you do to biologically sourced oils to make them a functional diesel
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-03-2016#1440358 << i wonder why pete_dushenski did not likewise suggest spamming. it has exactly the same 'hollywood tournament market' profit distribution. ftr i was a malware hunter and exterminator for some years. 99+% of ransomware artists made ~0. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 25-03-2016 20:41:44; jurov: you see - they are used to pay for licenses. whether to m$ or to extortionist, makes a little difference
ben_vulpes: Version: 'p' sqrt(etotheipi, give or take a kelvin) << adlaii re-found this amusing
danielpbarron: a lot of stuff died with Jeb
mike_c: that's a good idea, filters for the list
assbot: Logged on 14-01-2016 15:11:05; mircea_popescu: ;;later tell mike_c here's a thought, in http://www.btcalpha.com/wot/ might be a good idea to hide users not seen in i dunno, a quarter ? a year ? something ? explained, and with link for "full list".
mike_c: no - it seemed too duplicative of http://w.b-a.link/trust/assbot/kakobrekla/json
assbot: 3 results for 'odroid' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=odroid
jurov: - good only if you want to sweeten a bit
cazalla_: i bought a stevia plant last year, not bad to nom nom on a few leaves when wanting something sugary
BingoBoingo: jurov: Here I don't know that fountain sodas under a liter are sold anywhere
cazalla_: jurov sure, but how common is that today? for example, coca cola amatil (aussie coke listed company) expanded into indonesia and it has been a disaster, no-one wants their shit
phf: (jeff k is of course a something awful spoof of a teenage script kiddie culture of late 90s, that in turn spun off 4chan culture. old fags remember, that early /b/ was essentially a bunch of snarky mofos pretending to be jeff k style idiots, which in turn eternally september into actual idiots acting like idiots, etc)
pete_dushenski: Pearce writes that these walls “extended for some 16,000 km in all, in a mosaic of more than 500 interconnected settlement boundaries. They covered 6,500 sq km and were all dug by the Edo people … They took an estimated 150 million hours of digging to construct, and are perhaps the largest single archaeological phenomenon on the planet”."
pete_dushenski: "Situated on a plain, Benin City was enclosed by massive walls in the south and deep ditches in the north. Beyond the city walls, numerous further walls were erected that separated the surroundings of the capital into around 500 distinct villages.
pete_dushenski: it's a craft, like any other.
jurov: you see - they are used to pay for licenses. whether to m$ or to extortionist, makes a little difference ☟︎
pete_dushenski: aha. anyways, for casinos specifically, it ~is~ a windows thing. at least for the operations around here.
pete_dushenski: though i have a tough time imagining that anything in terms of digital security has changed with either that client or his 'professional' since.
pete_dushenski: i've also sold btc to 'it professional' who had client with cryptolocker. this was ~2 years ago though and i haven't heard any reports of a second or third hit.
assbot: PSA: Don’t pay the bitcoin ransom. | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... ( http://bit.ly/1UhWcs2 )
ben_vulpes: does anyone remember a story about a last-minute us presidential candidacy that was run on highly personally target emails?
mircea_popescu: otherwise, the bar for "conference organizer" as an identity pillar includes tits & gtfo and so on. it's a job dita von teese gets cred for, typically.
PaulCapestany: that was just shitty "reporting" in the case of the article... I'm not a r/bitcoin mod, but I guess my 'claim to fame' was that I was co-organizer of a big bitcoin developer meetup in SF
assbot: There's a one Bitcoin reward for the death of Pieter Wuille. Details below. on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1lxiG9S )
mircea_popescu: all i see in that title is http://trilema.com/2015/theres-a-one-bitcoin-reward-for-the-death-of-pieter-wuille-details-below/ re-done by lesser people who aim to avoid confronting their ulterior inferiority through lalala.
PaulCapestany: (p.s. I'm not a r/Bitcoin mod)
BingoBoingo: And it isn't so much a fork as... "historical artifact conveying truth" (TM)(R)
PaulCapestany: BingoBoingo ah, yeah, ya'll have your own sorta stripped-down fork, correct? if I wanted to read up on the reasoning behind that, what'd be a good link?
assbot: Logged on 18-01-2016 18:06:37; punkman: lol Falkvinge, "If there's no profit to be made in using bitcoin as a drop-in replacement for credit card payments, bitcoin will not be deployed at scale. Deployment and outcompeting legacy systems depend entirely on merchant financial gains from rollout."
assbot: 11 results for 'falkvinge' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=falkvinge
PaulCapestany: asciilifeform reddit wars are dumb, agreed, but I got concerned when people like Rick Falkvinge were starting to post on r/bitcoin about how Bitcoin Classic was a good idea.. the misinformation and propaganda that had been going on seemed to have worked on some people

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-03-2016#1440256 << i also have one, they cost pennies in surplus shops. but i use it for its original purpose; it makes a poor linux box, no usable i/o. ☝︎
shinohai: isn't news.bitcoin.com a VERified site?
