mircea_popescu: i mean it's a fine theory an' all, but i don't see it.
mircea_popescu: i don't see you got too far.
undata: asciilifeform: oh I don't know, the others don't look particularly hospitable
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as i said afore, " you'd have to be insane to use rented hardware oyu manage yourself. either colo your own metal or else have the fucking dc handle it if you don't give a shit"
mircea_popescu: im not sure why you want to run 2014 hw at all. but whatever, maybe i don't do enough hi res porn conversion on a laptop to care ?
mircea_popescu: what is it under i don't even recall, like a % ?
mircea_popescu: well i don't know the future for sure, as it happens. just kinda close.
ben_vulpes: +nubbins`:i've got some neat physical bitcoins, some strange bullion pieces, etc << don't forget newspapers lol
mike_c: or am i confused and you don't offer liquidity for sellers?
xanthyos: if i connected from my home ip i'd cloak. i don't notice a lag at all from the ssh session
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, i don't call this a science.
mircea_popescu: but i don't see anything in it past that.
mircea_popescu: i don't see it's controversial at all.
mircea_popescu: i still don't see why some coins nobody gives a shit about would be intrinsically valuable.
mircea_popescu: i don't pay for krugerands, and those at least are historically relevant.
badon: I know next to nothing about physical Bitcoins, and honestly, I don't have the time to become an expert in them.
nubbins`: badon i don't have much time to lead projects, but like i said, spotcoins is pretty much the definitive resource
badon: The CC does things that I don't even know it's doing.
badon: I don't know what that is.
badon: Most of it is secret information, but I seem to recall an event in the 1990's, but I don't remember where. There might have been one more recently too.
badon: I don't have that, because I don't delete any of my published posts, including the ones I would prefer to go away.
badon: You'll have to look, I honestly don't remember how far back it goes. I have hundreds of articles, and I think there's a chronological list somewhere...
badon: I don't know.
badon: I don't publish everything I'm doing, but what I have published is very impressive if I do say so myself.
badon: For example, if you look at a wikipedia list of the largest empires, I think the Romans don't even rank in the top 10.
badon: I could create a project for it at the CC, if someone wanted to oversee it. I'm not qualified to do it myself, and we don't have the funding to have the CC team do it without some major help.
mircea_popescu: " I don't mind over paying a little as the wise man baden always says, to get what I like but I have limits & they are based on potential of growth, 10% is better than bank interest but I would rather a potential 50% - 2000%!!!!! (savvy or greedy?!)"
mircea_popescu: well no, if you make an engine and i ask "show me the part that'll make me grok wtf this is" you don't wanna show a leaflet.
badon: I hope that's good, but I really don't know since I haven't gotten any feedback about it yet.
assbot: Logged on 09-10-2013 03:46:03; mircea_popescu: i am amused at the noobs that still don't grasp why their average bitcoin lifespan is less than a year.
ben_vulpes: +asciilifeform:every penny i spend is recorded. even at parking meters. << you've got this weird habit of just doing what they tell you. i don't get it, especially given your proclivities and tendencies. it's almost as though you're...an ironic mole!
asciilifeform: (not so much 'model m' - i used them also, but they do not, for any practical purpose, wear out. so don't need many.)
asciilifeform: i don't even allow usb keyboards on my personal machines.
PeterL: I'm suprised you don't reprogram the winblows key to be an extra control to give yourself another batch of functions at your fingertips?
asciilifeform: and at this point i don't even care if i'm simply habituated to springs or if there is something 'intrinsic and natural' about spring clicks. i refuse to do without them.
decimation: asciilifeform: I don't even want to see what he sees of all people, just of me
mike_c: hm? i don't mind people knowing i bought lightbulbs. it was only a couple.
undata: I don't see how you solve that problem without having all source packages grabbed directly from creators with signatures verified, and compiling yourself
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i've only just now started appreciating good wines, i don't care to get into "good" monitors too.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i already own a 200 pound paperweight (lisp machine) - don't need a 30
adlai: my problem with me is that I don't know what I want to learn next
mircea_popescu: i don't see them here.
mircea_popescu: adlai what i don't get is : some group is trying to do something punkman already did, and we're using.
mircea_popescu: "you forgot your panties in my bed" "but i don't wear panties ?" "oh shit... um..."
nubbins`: i don't want the responsibility
nubbins`: well i guess you don't need to smoke salvia
nubbins`: mircea_popescu while i can't quantify my "impressionability", you're so far off-base here that i don't know where to begin
mircea_popescu: dude i don't get this shit.
mircea_popescu: i don't think we even bother selling it until it shows great numbers and they come bangin' on the door.
asciilifeform: decimation: i don't get it. with what 'modern' thing would you have them replace the 'enfields', and why ?
kakobrekla: Shabnam Ansar i don't understand a lot of stuff you say, nevertheless i read them all... you are just so amazing n my role model
cazalla: decimation, why would you ask me if i went there? i don't get it
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah I said systemd was a fungus. I agree, I don't see how this kind of thing is tolerable. Politically, I think Linus is up against a wall to some degree, because he knows redhat, inc pays for most of the kernel 'zeks'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i have not actually pressed any F key in... uh. months ? << 'midnight commander' naturally. and i have f1-f12 mapped to useful things in 'emacs' as well. unlike (apparently) many emacs users, i don't treat my hands as an object of religious sacrifice.
punkman: I don't get their whole recovery seed, pin codes, password mess
ben_vulpes: i appreciate it, but don't worry about it.
ben_vulpes: i don't have any truck with atoms any more
nubbins`: i don't really want to have to care for it
punkman: nah, I'll put it on my DO account so I don't have to bother anyone
mircea_popescu: "Why? I think there are several reasons. One is that being mean makes you stupid. That's why I hate fights. You never do your best work in a fight, because fights are not sufficiently general. Winning is always a function of the situation and the people involved. You don't win fights by thinking of big ideas but by thinking of tricks that work in one particular case. And yet fighting is just as much work as thinking ab
jurov: I don't see how shoving the entire protocol in the kernel makes sense << they don't want unnecessary context switches
decimation: I think the might have some legitimate points about shortcomings in existing IPC mechanisms, but I don't see how shoving the entire protocol in the kernel makes sense
kuzetsa: (I don't care enough to discuss the proxy thing ... people just keep re-bringing it up and highlighting me in the process)
mircea_popescu: there's kinda no way out of the "i don't want to pay attention, why don't i understand anything" trap.
kuzetsa: I usually don't pay much attention though
mats_cd03: and i don't get the impression they'd be down with it. american military doctrine encourages autonomy at the company level in a lot of ways
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03: the tricky part is speaking it, i often sub in canto words by abusing tones and i don't realize im doing it << dude's got some problems i can scarcely imagine.
mircea_popescu: i mean i'm tempted to ban ll and psychouroboros just so i don't have to watch three lines per hour or w/e.
mats_cd03: i don't know shit about music either
mats_cd03: the tricky part is speaking it, i often sub in canto words by abusing tones and i don't realize im doing it
Vexual: I can't believe you don't have an asian grocer; they're ubiquitous here
punkman: I don't think I've seen it here
kakobrekla: <fivezerotwo> now I am going to ddos targets I actually give a fuck about. but don't worry, you can have you fun with bitbet afterwards with the same qntra/trilema-down flood
diametric: yeah, i don't think i was ever being ddos, i think its just a coincidence.
decimation: diametric: I don't see any join/leave logs from you in the past few minutes
ben_vulpes: adlai: i see what you're getting at but i don't know that i buy it.
diametric: i'm connected to my bounce server when the "ddos" happens, but i don't see any unusual packets coming into it, nor do is my connection to my server from my house impacted in anyway, but i do get booted off freenode.
Anduck: i don't see why people should be pushed to use cloak or how to mis-use it. you can't really misuse it if you use sasl
nubbins`: i tried picking up blender a few years ago but realized i just don't have the patience
adlai: http://www.btcalpha.com/bitbet/ <- nice way to review all the insider info I don't have
mircea_popescu: but i don't even know you!
kuzetsa: mats_cd03: thanks. I don't talk much on freenode lately O_O
ben_vulpes: "i don't need programmers to be *good* spellers, i need them to be *consistent* spellers"
cazalla: decimation, i don't really follow
mats_cd03: decimation: i don't really care tbh. im armed, and god help anyone who thinks they're a better shot. i know how to kill a four man team breaching my home.
decimation: mircea_popescu: the reaction to bitcoin (by non-bitcoin holders) seems to fall into two camps: 1 - bitcoin sucks because I don't have any or 2. bitcoin sucks so I need to steal some
mircea_popescu: Ken Hess @kenhess · 7h7 hours ago @brucefenton I don't bother researching rancid Twitterati. And I don't care what you believe that you are. Again, do you own any Bitcoin?
decimation: ;;later tell ben_vulpes re: explain "usg has generally used the power of printed dollars to make it such that most people don't pay taxes" << Well, I was thinking of the very straightforward sense in which the majority of humans on us territory receive more dollars from usg than give to usg.
ben_vulpes: i don't think i was persistently logging when i first showed up either
mircea_popescu: this thing goes extremely deep, because honestly, what i don't like about i dunno, take your pick ? thins.
mircea_popescu: After a short discussion, Earl would say, "But, you seem to be over-engineering this - I don't think you need this capacitor." He would reach out with his handy nippers (insulated) that he always carried in his shirt-pocket, and snip out the capacitor in question.
mircea_popescu: i don't get it ? sparsity due to high volumetric exponent ? wtf ?
xanthyos: i don't know if i should accept those terms as a picture will not increase the amount of trust you should have for me
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: I'm British remember, our police don't suck.
bagels7: Sooo many guys tell me to not get fake boobs. I don't have to feel bad!
nubbins`: i don't think the other guy explicitly set out to do this either
bagels7: I am 183 cm but I don't have a vagina :p
mircea_popescu: i don't prioritize. my tradeoff is like this : i trade off your tradeoff for no tradeoff.
saifedean: i don't find height to be important for women, she's not a ladder... what matters most is the hip-to-waist ration, followed by the size of the breasts and lips... the rest is details
nubbins`: i actually don't know my own height in meters
