davout: well, just because two dollar bills have a different serial number doesn't make it very useful to distinguish them, likewise it does not seem very useful to me to want to distinguish between these, maybe it's just me but i don't see what problem this solves
ben_vulpes: i don't leave survivors.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I don't really know many people who don't
asciilifeform: i don't care.
mircea_popescu: i mean... it's there, plain as day. "we don't do anything useful anyway".
asciilifeform: mats, decimation: i don't like referring to the 'von neumann machine' for this reason
badon: I don't sell it.
BingoBoingo: I know people who use it, but I don't know people who know they use google wallet.
agorecki: I guess I'll leave the assbot window open... At least then I don't have to bother to close it each time I open my IRC client. I don't want to miss any other messages by forgetting that I put it on ignore
agorecki: not that I don't appreciate the warning, of course :)
decimation: it's sad that the male homosexual is the guy who is willing to call out feminists for their bullshit. I mostly chalk this up to actual people having better things to do, but I don't understand why actual people can't run the news - like qntra
jurov: gypsies don't give a damn about bleeding.. i heard fathers start trying out the daughters very early
asciilifeform: i went to #2, and i still don't get, what does the 'vip' option do?
cazalla: Vexual, it does, 2nd paragraph, and i don't watch much tv tbh
Vexual: i don't know who that is
Vexual: i don't think i'd eat dog given a choice
ansc: i am so scared bc i don't see a peaceful exit from the current communist idiotic system
mircea_popescu: i guess the issue is, their page is now 404 and they don't want you linkign to a 404 page
fluffypony: I don't understand the point of their email
thestringpuller: i also don't like having to sanitize strings
fluffypony: I don't disagree with their decision to call it "nodejs", I think the nodejs developers are the issue - htf do they call the binary "node" when clearly that's a word that may occur on the command-line, being common in computin' circles
ryanxcharles: i don't have time to respond at the moment but i'll come back later
mats: i don't think he's kidding based on his comment history
BingoBoingo: I don't get much choice in the matter thanks to my good friend CYP2d6*39*???
BingoBoingo: I don't have any. Have you not read the sad saga of Normal man???
adlai: i don't mean it in that sense, i mean that their goal is to make innovations in other chains accessible to the bitcoin asset
punkman: but I don't want NY sewage
mircea_popescu: i don't think he'd agree.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller eh let it excise itself. why should i do the work for people i don't even like.
thestringpuller: hopefully I don't by xbox live or something in the process :P
undata: I don't know how scientific the Jungian stuff is
asciilifeform: a language that i don't even care to discuss because it cannot be meaningfully executed on existing hardware.
mats: meh. i don't watch sports on television.
undata: I was working on my own crypto-only exchange for a bit, then thought better of it since I don't have piles of money for lawyers
decimation: I think "don't grab the princess" is on the list
asciilifeform: http://imgur.com/79DTA7H << 'no parking' sign outside of that post office. (i don't presently have a photo of the inside.)
mircea_popescu: eh i don't have a lien on that.
danielpbarron: you've got quite a few positive ratings from users i don't trust
undata: I don't feel a burning urge to attract the attention of that govt
undata: +asciilifeform | mircea_popescu: most u.s. subjects don't have an obvious rational action to follow the awakening of 'aha so i'm living in a zoo run by demented vivisectionists, now i need to...' << make money and gtfo in my case
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: most u.s. subjects don't have an obvious rational action to follow the awakening of 'aha so i'm living in a zoo run by demented vivisectionists, now i need to...'
mircea_popescu: <mats> i get the impression that most americans accept as fact that torture is ineffective << for sure. do you know what else they accept ? that "free markets don't work" and that "socialism is democracy" and all sorts of similar things. do you know why they accept them ? because they want to believe. 16 yo 7/10 valley girl also believes she's "beautiful" and that "she really has a chance". why wouldn't she, as far as
danielpbarron: i don't know anyone who saw it happen
danielpbarron: i don't listen to alex jones
BingoBoingo: I don't understand the nerve of people who won't contest shit at all.
undata: asciilifeform: I don't have any screenshots, but things like two boxes representing tables, each having things you can tap to select columns
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: didn't happen. not that i don't own enough junk, incl. apples of every period, to fill a small scrapyard - but i wanted living 'butterfly' not zoological specimen preserved in glass
asciilifeform: for once, i dare suggest that more mundane - most programmers, historically, don't want 'random', but 'random-flavoured but ultimately reproducible' for testing of games, toys, etc
asciilifeform: i just don't get it
mircea_popescu: so your sworn testimony here is that out of however many tenants, not one has a working smartphone ? or what is it ? computers don't really so much enter into it as far as i can see.
The20YearIRCloud: I've explained for 5-10 minutes per tenant how it worked, to go on IRCwebchat, and to cash them in. I still have the 42 or so left over still sitting in my closet. I can mail em back to someone if they want. Howver i don't know what I am supposed to do if no one follows my directions or the ones on the posters.
The20YearIRCloud: But if you want to retaliate at me for my tenants not cashing in the posters.....then so be it. I've tried to do my part in educating them about bitcoin, how to cash them in and so forth. I realize the print cost for the posters was paid out by someone. But I don't understand why you're getting mad at ME over it.
mircea_popescu: but i wonder how many people don't think to reload ?
BingoBoingo: Maybe I don't
jurov: actually i don't need imgur for it. around here the flats are so densely packed that there's hot inside (at least since they're wrapped in eurofoam) and most people run around naked
jurov: i don't see how being a famous << i stopped reading there, that may be what he's for anyway
mircea_popescu: i don't see how being a famous internet fraudster / idiot is "scott free".
ben_vulpes: but why rural america? i don't live in the boonies and the company office is fifteen blocks north
rdymac: I don't sign binaries
decimation: so, it's just a telephone on a wall? I don't get it
cazalla: ah, i don't recall that but no matter
gernika: I was able to collect email addresses via a signup page running an FB campaign at one time. Don't recall the conversion percentage at the moment but at that time at least there were real people clicking.
punkman: I don't think Stellar was ever decentralized. They just had more than one server.
jurov: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2odray/distributed_markets_for_drone_operators/ << i don't see how this ever can go wrong
mircea_popescu: badon: But I don't trade bitcoin, I have no need of gribble. << lmao
badon: BingoBoingo: That helps, but I don't think it helps as much as everyone wishes it did.
badon: Vexual: You misunderstand, I'm saying I DON'T want to quantify people, because it's impossible.
BingoBoingo: <badon> My experience has been that these trust models are useless. They're better than complete anonymity, because they end up having some practical monetary value, but the abuse of the trust always eventually becomes more profitable than honoring the trust. Therefore, if I don't trust you, I don't care what your PGP key says. << Trust isn't a point system though, it is a name system.
badon: In fact, my business style is to be suspicious of anyone who insists on formal contracts. If they don't trust me, I don't want to do business with them, and vice versa.

BingoBoingo: I don't really know how you are being prevented. You joined and a person voiced you, right?
badon: But I don't trade bitcoin, I have no need of gribble.
Vexual: i don't know much about electronics, but fuck i go thruogh some hookup wire
Vexual: "I certainly don't want anyone mining technology ... away from my control" <<this would sound more intelligent if he was stuttering
decimation: re: mechanical fetish << one thing I don't get are mechanical watches, they have poor accuracy
pete_dushenski: eh i don't mind the crispness in the slightest
mircea_popescu: davout: cazalla: i don't even get why they feel the need to talk about bitcoin << virgins also feel a need to talk about the cock.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: that fuckwit infosec "expert" that's helping them irritates me <<< i don't recall an infosec expert of the webz that wasn't a sort of "assigned female at birth genderqueer individual".
mircea_popescu: decimation: eh, flat makes those famed 'afraid of volatility' types happy <<< yet for every 500 guys that went "o bitcoin i can not use it is too volatile" for 3 years going, you don't hear as many as .5 guys today "o, now i can use it"
davout: cazalla: i don't even get why they feel the need to talk about bitcoin
asciilifeform: i don't even grasp why a wireless to ethernet bridge needs to be a computer, with stateful memory and an os
asciilifeform: decimation: i don't run an isp, or a dc, don't care one whit for optimizations
asciilifeform: i don't even know what is more enraging - the sc4mz0r manufacturer, or all the shitmonkeys who claim to have 'fixed'
asciilifeform: i mean, back to the story, all i had to do is reach across desk and grab a ttl serial octopus. but what are folks supposed to do who don't have one?
mircea_popescu: gernika not just, but sure. also, i don't care about form. if meditation works all the better.
gernika: mircea_popescu are you referring to logical fallacies by 'modes of logical failure'? Also, by learning to control your emtions, I assume you don't mean learning to meditate.
TomServo: I guess I don't understand why a beating is necessary when you have a sufficiently advanced human capable of reasoning. Help me out?
mircea_popescu: i dunno what's more insulting than the plain declaration that "[i really don't care enough about you to be bothered to] ever beat you"
undata: I don't see how that's better
undata: I don't buy that our primary enemy isn't our own CIA.
undata: I don't deny that there could be foreign interest in stirring this up, but there's plenty of homegrown entitlement and idiocy to go around too
undata: I don't see why the Russians have to be involved as boogeyman
undata: asciilifeform: so someone can surely be beaten into this state; what I'm asking is whether they don't become useless as a tool in that state
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't find it hard to believe us security sucks.
mircea_popescu: but i don't happen to favour that sort of standard of evidence.
BingoBoingo: I don't get paid.
Vexual: I cream truck don't need no windsheild wipers
mike_c: huh? I don't want to read reddit and other btc news sites. i thought this was whole point of qntra.
cazalla: and i don't want to be seen to promote the idea that holding usd on coinbase is a good idea either
decimation: I don't think what we do here is 'moldbug studies' but I think the channel is at friendly to some of his conclusions
