BingoBoingo: ^ Promising ground for a young jurist
kakobrekla: all that i got was a request for kyc/aml procedure!
BingoBoingo: Generally if you liek something you help it to flourish, report and just mebbe you get a bounty? Otherwise who knows wtf happens if you open the other door.
punkman: so where's the dilemma? did they give you a free mil or somehting?
kakobrekla: this happened to me on bitstamp in 2011 or 12, had a deposit processed twice. i reported it though.
fluffypony: no, you're a profiteer
wouldibeascammer: if I profit from that, am I a scammer?
wouldibeascammer: let's say a service credits too much on my account
wouldibeascammer: so, I have a dilemna
BingoBoingo: Well you can see the thumb that snuck into a picture there was clearly white.
shinohai: Good God what is that thing, a ghettomobile?

mircea_popescu: which is ~50k different phonemes, the vast majority of which are bona fide words but filtering any further exceeds my patience (and if you're curious why it stops there - once the fetlife lists hit, there's a pile of crapolade in the form of usernames that are difficult to distinguish etc). i'm happy with the estimation that "50k or maybe a little more". which would mean that... whoa!

mircea_popescu: meh, this turns out to be a fucking huge job on account of the insane variation. but the cheap result would be that between http://trilema.com/2012/me-they-say/ and http://trilema.com/2015/fun-with-pairs-of-girls/ so about 40 months or so, http://trilema.com/words_2302.txt

mircea_popescu: bought guns, eventually becoming such a problem obama had to pay a visit to putin's residence dressed in nothing but his chastity device and do a spot of work or two, in exchange for putin agreeing to take care of the problem. something like http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-02-2016#1413380 with the colors reversed, if you need visual aids, or else something like ross ulbricht "ordering clean hits" if your memory ☝︎
mircea_popescu: (for the innocent log readers : what happened in syria was that obama went in pretending he is the head of a powerful nation ; putin went in as the actual head of a powerful nation. when the difference between these turned out to be an actual thing in the field, obama whipped out the checkbook, started offering bribes to the locals to hold up signs and shit reading "obama is a real stud". those guys took the money and
mircea_popescu: yet another nominal us "ally" to meet a gruesome fate in the field when the posturing six year old for some reason dressed as a very tall nigger gets called to supper.
mircea_popescu: agreement to posture in the un resulting in a quick dispatch of the "rebels" on the ground, expect to see them hanging / supported by visceral poles by next thurs.

mircea_popescu: rather optimistic, a deleverage factor of 1000:1 seems lowball. but then you have to account for the general ghetto dweller's disinclination to put up with "school" as an adult.
mircea_popescu: note the very epic "200k worth of fed paper is worth $500 in candybar, on a systematic scale".
mircea_popescu: "Marching gets our message out." No it doesn't, it gets CNN's message out. "We don't watch CNN, we use the internet."

punkman: maybe it's a "polite fiction"
mircea_popescu: "c.g." is a random derp of no consequence that got nicked and passed his account over to the baltimore establishment of unintentional humour maintained on public funds.
mircea_popescu: context for the innocent : the carl force iv derp writes from one of the numerous troll accounts on sr to ulbricht derp. it's not clear whether he's doing this thinly veiled attempt at psychology on behalf of his employer or as an independent contractor working a little moonlight, but

phf: (not a quote, but i was there, and that's the gist of it. many face palms in the audience)
phf: "The fundamental difference is that programming today is all about doing science on the parts you have to work with. That means looking at reams and reams of man pages and determining that POSIX does this thing, but Windows does this other thing, and patching together the disparate parts to make a usable whole.
pete_dushenski: i don't for a second think it's just correlation. wealth can't guarantee anything any more than obama - but can wealth, unlike obama, provide opportunities ? i'm inclined to say so. ergo wealthy man can at least materially afford personal car-computer, whether or not he can intellectually afford it is borne by whether or not he actually does.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It's their reaction to some derpy sports story about career of guy who sportsballed and then became a rape-cop who is now in prison. Derps published the story now other derps are trying to indict the entire concept of long form over the story.

asciilifeform: but scheme is quite a pleasant language to bootstrap from the ground.
asciilifeform: mod6: aha. (though with a small modification, ts will run 'slib', a well-known library)
mod6: seems like we'll have to write a lot of our own procedure libs. which is maybe a good thing i guess.
asciilifeform: a number of folks don't seem to grasp that financial and cultural poverty are quite separate things. visit usa, the land of countless millionaires who have never opened a book, and hobos with half a ph.d. in mathematics.

asciilifeform: (unless you're a jungle man in which case it costs infinity.)
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: that's an apt analogy in that both car and hdd are superficially affordable, but not practically. old car costs hundreds if not thousands in unexpected maintenance EVERY YEAR. hdd costs time, space, troubleshooting, etcetc. a car you own outright (ie. no debt payments), like a desktop you own outright (ie. no winbloze avec nsa) are exceedingly high-end appointments. neither is 'accessible' in any way.
asciilifeform: the equivalent of 'your own hdd' transportation-wise would be, perhaps, a chopper.
asciilifeform: and pretty much anyone in usa can afford an old car (they start at a few hundy)
pete_dushenski: hell, even owning your own hdd/sdd is becoming a Big Deal.
pete_dushenski: and wtf a 10 hour cab ride would cost a grand+. each way. you can fly to amsterdam for that. or rent porsche from rental company for drive.
asciilifeform: the best car is a dirigible.
asciilifeform: but why would a free man, other than perhaps one who enjoys the racetrack, drive ?
pete_dushenski: there is no such thing as a pleasant commute. it's for slaves and sucks commensurately. as it should.

asciilifeform: the pattern in which a dog vomit lands is not the same as a theorem.

pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-02-2016#1412957 << my reading of porsche for the 60s generation was a certain professional young man's (or well-heeled dilettante's) europhilic desire for post-war rennsport purity. the 90s/00s generation came to fetishise this, detaching it from reality, and in the process adding dildos of every unspeakable sort to the ak that was. in this sense, casascius coins are a necessary ☝︎
asciilifeform: 'So the inevitable question is "how did a jump work?" That was entirely up to the engineer crafting the circuits. The OEN instruction could be used to disable any changes occurring on the output data; at the end of a loop assert OEN and let the machine execute whatever instructions - hopefully NOPs - remained until the PC rolled over. There was a JMP, but that instruction simply toggled an ou
asciilifeform: 'it didn't have a program counter. Designers were expected to create one external to the CPU. It's width was, well, anything the developer wanted. Running a tiny bit of code? Maybe an 8 bit PC was appropriate. Or 32 bits for those applications needing 4 GN (giga-nibbles) of powerhouse processing.'
