Namworld: My heater's plug was almost on fire... Noticed it was corroded, sanded it, no more problems. I don'
t want to freeze, but a fire is a bit too much.
dub: what about a funding round to produce a coinbr
t-shirt
Namworld: I wasn'
t talking about that either
jurov: VanCleef: they don'
t resolve bets so quickly, take a pill and calm down
bob____: just because the panamanian directors are on the board of 50 companies doesn'
t mean it's a shell corporation!
pankkake: when you start to have some responsibilities, doesn'
t it make sense to have at least a backup?
nubbins`: i never know where the
t's and c's end either D:
nubbins`: dub: "life is too short" is a phrase that doesn'
t belong on irc
nubbins`: but don'
t let that stop you from masturbating a logo
nubbins`: this isn'
t hollywood, i think that's a bit unrealistic
benkay: if you don'
t teach your little ones to defend themselves, injuries they sustain because they're unable to defend themselves should be laid at the parents feet
nubbins`: the way you say that, i don'
t think you've ever tried to teach anything to a 3 year old
nubbins`: i wouldn'
t go above 50% per hour
jurov: This is the first time we've heard negative feedback amount the message signing format. It's designed for easier verification for humans, and automated mechanisms obviously won'
t work correctly. We believe for most use cases the current default is the best option.
bob____: i don'
t believe they were hacked. they use google 2fa. that makes it impossible.
Duffer1: since it's price is now roughly equal to another major exchange that doesn'
t have liquidity problem, though i suppose coinbase isn'
t a true exchange
nubbins`: jurov, i generally don'
t talk to myself anymore ;)
mircea_popescu: so in this sense this isn'
t a discussion about mining,
mircea_popescu: but it wouldn'
t be a flamethrower, it'd just be a lucky freak.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform same reason a girl wearing a funny hat doesn'
t function as the emperess of china.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, if I get a parrot that extracts correct nonces out of a bag, i don'
t have a miner.
nubbins`: why didn'
t himmelsbaugh consult an appropriate authority before assuming that he enjoyed the thing?
nubbins`: ^ for a while there,
t-shirts REALLY weren'
t free
mircea_popescu: nubbins` so then no, you wou;dn'
t be in the same position. knowledge is money.
kleeck: I won'
t say what I did with those...
nubbins`: better done if i hadn'
t won and lost several fortunes in that period of time
nubbins`: can'
t even imagine what a box of kraft dinner costs ;)
nubbins`: but i don'
t think it would be a bad idea, short-term
kleeck: You can use a NAS, but you don'
t SHARE the backup partition.
kleeck: So, this wasn'
t a system admin, then?
kleeck: Second, why don'
t you have backups?!
kleeck: First off, your users shouldn'
t be able to get a zipped exe, or an exe, at all.
Luke-Jr: especially when the main guy behind it is going around demanding proof GPUs can'
t simulate ASICs..
benkay: Luke-Jr: weren'
t you involved with that operation?
pankkake: I haven'
t kept up with the latest frameworks
mircea_popescu: i don'
t have a hard time imagining why they'd want to tho.
mircea_popescu: mike_c probably not count because engineers aren'
t "successfull ceos".
mircea_popescu: i don'
t recall now if it was written as a bitcoinica envy clone or not.
pankkake: I don'
t understand futures, options, and have no idea what icbit is :)
pankkake: well he probably came earlier and will come back later. I wonder why he picked me, I wasn'
t even parroting this time
pankkake: I haven'
t read your latest blog stuff so I have nothing to disagree with
pankkake: what you don'
t understand is that there is only one person here
benkay: opc0d3 - it's an echo chamber in here. don'
t get butthurt.
nubbins`: ah, i haven'
t worked with .NET since around 2005-07
nubbins`: some random btc-related website likely doesn'
t have any sort of gold-tier anything
opc0d3: i personally don'
t use any MSFT products, but would never be so idiotic to laugh at developers that do
nubbins`: see, the thing is: coca-cola can afford to pay for gold-tier support contracts, so they can use .NET and if it breaks (which it doesn'
t), they have a big red telephone they can pick up to get it fixed
Apocalyptic: doesn'
t mean anything about the value of the product
opc0d3: pankkake: doesn'
t mean that running a .NET site is stupid or bad idea.
pankkake: you know, multi billion dollar companies aren'
t a very good example of competence or efficiency
mircea_popescu: opc0d3 you don'
t have what to think i'm full of shit with.
mircea_popescu: and to clarify, opc0d3 , you don'
t get to come in after a coupla years and call established fact "fud" and "bs".
benkay: "don'
t have the dough to pay the winners"
mircea_popescu: then they magically don'
t have the dough to pay the winners, and go into a cone of darkness for a half year
mircea_popescu: opc0d3 don'
t be an idiot. that article is older than your involvement in "finance".
mike_c: it doesn'
t mean anything. What they mean when they say it is that it isn'
t backed by anything of value. you know, like gold.
benkay: 'cause "it's backed by math, idiot" isn'
t working
nubbins`: honestly, the concept of going shopping for art hadn'
t occurred to me until now
benkay: can'
t be arsed to go shopping though
benkay: and i only deploy capital against aesthetic things when it's going to have some sort of caloric return. eg: "babe, take this small pile of capital and deploy it making this space look nice. that way when clients come by they won'
t be horrified by my abysmal decoration and might actually be impressed by my aesthetic committee's performance"
benkay: ain'
t nothing to it, really
nubbins`: anyway, it doesn'
t even really matter what the specifics look like. it's all about layout on the page
mircea_popescu: lol no, you can'
t "Discuss" nonsense. to discuss a topic you have to renounce nonsense.
nubbins`: you assume that people don'
t wish to discuss nonsense
nubbins`: if i didn'
t wish to discuss it, i wouldn'
t. this is great.
mircea_popescu: so if you don'
t really wish to discuss art, why are you ?
nubbins`: but that doesn'
t preclude it mattering to anyone
mircea_popescu: but this sort of drawer novel, as it was known, doesn'
t exist in the sense of art.
mircea_popescu: the curse of this particular equalitarian-nominalism ogre is that it can'
t really make stateemnts.
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> surely there must be something that makes mp a good judge and nubbins a poor one? << this implies that perhaps nubbins could move upwards in society, and contains implicit an equivalency of substance between the two. this isn'
t an accepted point between us.
mircea_popescu: you don'
t discuss surgery in terms of the subjective impressions of patients. a similar discussion of any other craft is similarly out of place.
mircea_popescu: this may be true, but the subjection needn'
t be conscious.
nubbins`: someone says a piss pot "is art to me". i don'
t care, because whether it's art to them has no bearing on whether it's art to me
mircea_popescu: looky, this trick where you go "mpex is too hard, i don;'
t understand it ; therefore we must all glbse because there's no other way to do it" isn'
t logically sound.
nubbins`: because there's no other way to quantify it, and if you can'
t quantify things, you certainly can'
t classify them
nubbins`: i'm merely offering the simplest explanation for the fact that there are so many things which some people call art and other people don'
t mircea_popescu: one can'
t turn arround and expect all situations have equally low bars
