punkman: "The Uber driver was too good of
a person and decided to take
a cash settlement instead of pressing charges. In his words, "...she was crying (and) said (she) was sorry for everything." I don't want to disclose the amount the driver was paid, but can say he could only use the money to pay his cellphone bill and maybeee his cable bill."
BingoBoingo: Yeah, the active malleation of transactions that happen to be High-S is
a pain.
mod6: hey waddya know, i've got
a block before btc.blockr.io
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> in other news, bitcoin classic has even fewer nodes than bitcoin xt. who was that guy that was the me of something else again ? << They haven't even released

☟︎ mod6: (
a work in progress)

☟︎ mod6: just kinda documenting here
a bit.
gribble: Error: "tslf" is not
a valid command.
mircea_popescu: reminds me of
a story of rachel welch's bra and the most important man in the world.
mircea_popescu: turns out all the "richest country in the world" could muster was
a coupla days' of 10% and
a readily defeated pair of anonymous junkies.
mod6: i guess this is funny because back when I first started writing code,
a hundred million internet years ago, i liked the first way better.
mod6: guess its just
a personal pref. *shrug*
mod6 is not
a fan of the style used in here
pete_dushenski: "Many political speeches show the same structures and same characteristics regardless of the actual topic. Some phrases and arguments appear again and again and indicate
a certain political affiliation or opinion. We want to use these remarkable patterns to train
a system that generates new speeches"
mod6: its
a pretty nice vehicle. its like all the power of
a full-size truck with some extra seating.
pete_dushenski: tbh i like yours the best. but i might just be partial to that gen because i sold
a couple of 'em in my day even ;)
mod6: yeah,
a bit. the new ones look even less curvy than mine,... more of
a boxy look
assbot: Logged on 20-01-2016 19:27:41; mod6: no heat in the suburban, made appt. to have it fixed. showed up this am like "ok do your thing..". They said, "oh, can you pick it up tomorrow? we're busy...". Like wtf. It's literally like
a 15 minute job. How do I know? Because I just did it myself instead and if I exclude the drive time to pick up and buy the part itself, ~15 minutes.
shinohai: If it comes back with
a version of "Bitcoin Classic XT" I'm done.
mod6: <+hanbot> eh, can't complain. got
a sunburn, acquired another deskbox...speaking of which i'ma want to test trinque's makefile bonanza soon, may be firing derpquestions. << cool! i need some sunshine myself.

mircea_popescu: dude that shit you linked... jesus god. yes, you can get
a zamac thing for "1500".
mircea_popescu: and you also get
a chassis in which you could perhaps put
a sane engine.
mircea_popescu: so what do you think is
a fair price per li/ion kWh, ascii_butugychag ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Why list
a capacity that is just going to rapidly decay as soon as it leaves the lot?
mircea_popescu: tesla should run
a sexphone service for boring ustards!
mircea_popescu: "If Tesla is logging interactions with their customers (like phone-calls) to
a national database, why didn’t they notice that someone was calling in and only getting voicemail. Shouldn’t this be
a red-flag, or shouldn’t someone at Telsa HQ be reaching out to find out why/whats going on/why someone keeps calling so often?"
mircea_popescu: however, uses for either item are readily apparent in
a minifactory/macrolab the sort
a boy genius may have built himself.
mircea_popescu: now, driving this assemblage as if it were
a car is the height of ridiculousness.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag it's actually less than what it costs to makew by
a long shot. im surprised you'e not buying one.
ascii_butugychag: it still boggles my mind that somebody would buy, for personally sitting in,
a $100k machine that doesn't fly.
BingoBoingo: Well, interested enough to have put down
a deposit
mircea_popescu: holy shit the attention span of these derps ?! they actually will fuck around for weeks over
a product they're not even that interested in with some random salesdude ?
mircea_popescu: "After working with Kevin for
a few weeks, I was able to find
a car that met my needs in Pasadena, California."
mod6: and
a blaze stocking cap. nothing else i have in the jacket/hat department is warm enough for dec/jan/feb
BingoBoingo: New proposal is
a second color named Blaze which is
a bright pink.
ascii_butugychag: unrelatedly,
a crapple pad and one of the apps offered for that machine actually make an ok trb reader
pete_dushenski: shinohai:
a more effective tactic than mp's legal threats, at least in the case of forbes ;/
mircea_popescu: this entire "must wear wrong clothing" while hunting makes us hunting
a fucking joke.
assbot: Remember the Forbes article "Something Rotten In the State of Bitcoin"? I put in
a complaint and the writer was forced to change the article. : btc ... (

BingoBoingo: "In Wisconsin, there has been some opposition to the measure, though it has passed the Assembly and was scheduled for
a Senate vote Wednesday. Opponents included some women hunters who viewed the measure as sexist, and others who see it as pandering to women." << Sexist even though more visible to other armed persons and less visible to deer
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag it's pretty much
a given they were doing her in the butt huh ? given the sizes.
mircea_popescu: hey... if
a man "takes"
a woman, when he is done with her it is the woman that carries away bits of the man, not vice-versa.
ascii_butugychag: any honest genetic study would reveal that being related to said folks is, generally,
a very serious handicap..
mircea_popescu: yeah well... there's that. there's another thing also :
a better argument can be brought that the eskimo and the chechens are "worthless neerdowells". and these are very different haplogroups too
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller gawd, we;re headed for
a "the mp of x" phase of buzzwordism ?
mircea_popescu: i have no idea what'd be "africa". there's
a bunch of major ones. and they are mixed with stuff like the persians, which... invented civilisation.
mircea_popescu: if you build
a tree and it branches out this bad, you'll rapidly end up with tiny fractions in each branch.
mircea_popescu: there's
a dozen or so "main" clades. but they are subdivided, and the subdivisions subdivide. there's tens of thousands of subdivisions of the most common subdivisions of the more common clades.
jurov: mircea_popescu: i see sample sizes like 200 in
a million
ascii_butugychag: i'm not convinced re: the eu genetic report being
a genuine thing either
mircea_popescu: "From the Bronze Age, R1b male lineages replaced
a large percentage of Megalithic Y-haplogroups, but female Megalithic lineages survived almost unchanged in frequency."
mircea_popescu: with quotes. medical : "Ruiz-Pesini et al. (2000) reported that men belonging to haplogroup H have the lowest risk of asthenozoospermia (reduced sperm motility)." ; "
A study by Baudouin et al. (2005) found that members of haplogroup H had increased chance of survival from severe sepsis at 180 days compared with individuals from other haplogroups."
assbot: Logged on 20-01-2016 16:36:22; mircea_popescu: the actual bitcoin network looks like
a fuzz atop those teeth
pete_dushenski: ascii_butugychag: what ports can i use for trb while syncing ? and is there
a good reason why trb should jump on 8333 without me telling it to, and without being completely synced ? because this seems to be
a recurring issue on my end.
PeterL: maybe when you start b-
a minerpool, have higher fees required for non-WoT txn's to get included?
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: "But anyway, to answer
a question from the public in more detail : poorly. I've never been this humiliated in my life." << nuts. my mind, it asploded.
ascii_butugychag: i don't want
a car engine that relies on cockroaches turning little wheels.
pete_dushenski: after watching tevye choke on all the fucking idiots "connect" "disconnect" "socket closed" blahblah, it seemed sane, but the miner relay is, yes,
a significant potential boojum
mircea_popescu: as the subsidy dies out, trying to be
a miner will be
a lot like trying to be
a lawyer.
assbot: Logged on 20-01-2016 02:04:07; asciilifeform: the ~correct~ behaviour for
a node is to service
a hand-picked set of trusted peers
pete_dushenski: in related nyooz, tevye is just 5 blocks behind now after... restarting. because "waiting it out" isn't
a fucking strategy.
mircea_popescu: "down on the river arges, on
a nice lawn, teh black king goes with ten people : nine great masters, learned in bricklaying, and manoli, the tenth, who's even better!"
mircea_popescu: ah but this was
a famous architect, with
a team and all.
mircea_popescu: if you think about it, getting walls to stay the fuck up hadn't been
a point of sufficient isnecurity so as to excite the popular immagination for
a good 25 centuries by the time rodari came out.
mircea_popescu: what the derpy romans interpreted as "dacians invading" was merely continuation of
a lyfstyle that had at that time three or four millenia of history behind it.
mircea_popescu: it comes from
a time of pastoral life, when sheep went up the mountains then back down the mountains into dalmatia
