asciilifeform: oh i've no doubt that it ~will~
asciilifeform: (fwiw the subject has no emotional button push for me, because i don't expect to last for as long as five seconds under feudalism) ☟︎
asciilifeform: i still don't see how an altcoin could ever be an appealing thing other than to idiots and looters, assuming a still-functioning (if asymptotically-rewardless) classic btc
asciilifeform: did somebody settle the proton decay thing while i was asleep ?
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i normally buy rarities there that it is physically impossible to obtain in any other way short of a journey around the globe in person
asciilifeform: typically if i need 'the same thing twice' i open the crate and take out another.
asciilifeform: and neither do the folks i know.
asciilifeform: because - elementarily - i don't 'know a guy'
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: pretty much the entire set of things that i do.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-11-2015#1331841 << firms like this have, iirc, existed for a while. i've always wondered what keeps usg from busting them for 'possession' ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-11-2015#1331873 << what did mircea_popescu mean by this? i bet there is a whole article buried in this observation, and i would like to read it ☝︎
PeterL: I'm off to find breakfast
PeterL: my initial thought is we want to stay far away from derpy reditards, but I could be wrong
PeterL: I basically report directly to the company president, it is a small company
PeterL: I don't know why people think combining years of experience means anything
PeterL: I guess if they are willing to pay to get the stuff through the darknet, they should be willing to pay to get it tested
PeterL: So, I got a new job. if anybody needs any chemical analysis done http://www.impactanalytical.com/
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: i have a pile of laptops that never leave the house
kakobrekla: i guess the point was lappy != field work
mod6: think i shut it down on the flight from b-a
trinque: I've fine-tuned gentoo on both this and a macbook pro previously, as perhaps some kind of pain fetish
trinque: I run a shit-tacular lenovo x1 carbon
asciilifeform: also will note that the portable i actually use for work, cost no less than the maximal mac, relies on blobs, and a good number of peripherals simply do not work, blob or no blob
mircea_popescu: im rrrrreally call the police i tell you!
asciilifeform: if i didn't already have one, for the (fortunately) rare times that i need such a thing - would buy.
asciilifeform: and a buncha folks i know in meat life
asciilifeform: i did !
mircea_popescu: i don't think you're allowed in b-a if you do.
asciilifeform: in other 'news', in past month i learned that 98%+ of openings advertised for my profession demand proof of aryan status
ben_vulpes: i would like to not have to use portable boxes
asciilifeform: but if i needed a portable unix box today, i would be forced to buy a crapple machine.
asciilifeform: to be fair, i didn't persist.
ben_vulpes: oh and surely i've bitched about the hilarious external port layout of the most current model
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i don't have one because of that
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i forget, you have one for building softs for ipNohe ..?
asciilifeform: but at one point i needed to run a java turd for some teleconference thing and it worked.
mod6: yeah, i was thinking that was the case Mr. P. Just wanted to throw it out there before I start pulling 'em
assbot: Logged on 26-11-2015 02:46:43; ben_vulpes: el capitan quest, day three: os x still refuses to upgrade xcode 6 to xcode 7.1, a prerequisite for el capitan (or is it the other way around? once i run all of these permutations i'll have to check that set).
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-11-2015#1331631 << phun phakt, i have a mac here, but can't build anything for current macs because... it was made in '09 ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 26-11-2015 01:20:10; mod6: asciilifeform: if the Foundation is going to host & sign OpenSSL/Boost/BDB, I'll also need to host buildroot + buildroots deps, no?
ben_vulpes: el capitan quest, day three: os x still refuses to upgrade xcode 6 to xcode 7.1, a prerequisite for el capitan (or is it the other way around? once i run all of these permutations i'll have to check that set). ☟︎
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Ah, I dunno the original source.
pete_dushenski: well, i'm out like a trout. laters!
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: My sobriety has given me free time so I am exploring the world's many religions and comparing them. At the moment Brodinism seems to be winning.
BingoBoingo: I never knew this stuff was in the bible
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes pete_dushenski https://i.imgur.com/cTutORZ.png
BingoBoingo: https://i.imgur.com/a6vndfK.jpg
mod6: Anyway, that's one major task still hanging out there. I'd like to get that done before we ``release''. Have all the required deps signed & hosted so that the rotor-build script I've been passing around can be changed to pull the stuff directly from the foundation.
mod6: asciilifeform: if the Foundation is going to host & sign OpenSSL/Boost/BDB, I'll also need to host buildroot + buildroots deps, no? ☟︎
mod6: but I think this update will be a full-everything-signed distribution again. and if this version is acceptable, maybe I'll publish the genesis of it sometime later.
mod6: i actually have a v-genesis.vpatch for this new v99997 version as well.
mod6: i've fixed this locally, and am testing currently.
mod6: I found a bug in v99998 K of my v.pl.
pete_dushenski: to celebrate the belated arrival of winter today, some photos of nature (that i didn't take) from my neck of the woods http://www.hecktictravels.com/rocky-mountains-alberta-canada and some rather charming urban shots of winter a few provinces over http://www.hecktictravels.com/winter-in-quebec ☟︎
shinohai: https://i.imgur.com/VdjpA4m.jpg <<< todays asset
mircea_popescu: i only ever liked romania, or any other place come to think of it, for that kind of reason.
mircea_popescu: you know, i suppose i'd like the us a lot more if the people running the private "scam the suckers" entreprises there were literate and spoke enlish
trinque: though I could see an angle for either word there.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i miss the significance ?
mircea_popescu: now i'm gonna have to go in and take dialogue down by hand ? WHAT GOOD ARE YOU INTERNETS
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-11-2015#1331421 << i can confirm that part, i evaluated their attitude at some point coupla years ago, found it much too far from obsequious, opted to ignore them. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: that's what i'm worried about, coal mines and oil wells. not the amazon/google/facebook/apple babyblue-chip bs.
thestringpuller: I've always wondered when the first cash only exchange will pop on Tor.
jurov: i'd very much prefer not to
davout: jurov: i think by definition you'll never be able to get rid of the fiat stench if your job is handling it
jurov: yes i can hire french lawyer and start talking with the bank (or court)
davout: i don't think we were ever requested to freeze a bitcoin balance
davout: honestly, i think it's pretty much the same shit everywhere with slightly different coatings
thestringpuller: Well from what I've researched they also cut off the invoicing.
thestringpuller: davout: per our interview. i think there is a bug in coinbase's model that paymium solved already. seems that if underlying banking partners integrated with Coinbase have a problem with a Coinbase account they tell coinbase "Shut this guy of completely or we stop letting you integrate with us."
jurov: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=25-11-2015#1331197 ^ i meant reply to this ☝︎
punkman: http://i.imgur.com/CYE1lAm.jpg
trinque: I knew it was one of those.
felipelalli: thank you guys. I was looking in the #b-a history and thinking: "what the hell..."
felipelalli: lol! I didn't notice it before. DERP!
BingoBoingo: Honestly if his prolactin is that high he prolly needs more than cabergoline. Prolly needs crack, but I really dun wanna meet anyone on tren and crack at the same time.
assbot: Lactating even though I am on caber : steroids ... ( http://bit.ly/1NrMf8H )
felipelalli: Should I trust in BitGo Inc? If yes, why? What WoT user should I look? Thank you.
asciilifeform: goes back, i dare say, to qin shihuandi and his 10,001-bedroom palace
asciilifeform: and can we revoke 2nd law of thermo and 3rd law of newton! i'd like to fly around on a reactionless perpetuum mobile fart pack
mircea_popescu: there is much i don't know./

asciilifeform: i personally can't be arsed to follow every single circus
phf: asciilifeform: 23andme i still operational, they were recently approved by FDA to re-enable their health section even
adlai: asciilifeform: you said 'ancient lol', i searched logs more diligently, found http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-07-2015#1209477 ☝︎
adlai: well it's in the logs, they'll ask him in my stead should i myself be 'sleep or dead
asciilifeform: (and i can't find any reason to disagree with this position)
adlai: actually i don't and i'd rather stay uny'knowing
mircea_popescu: jurov i'll remind you of "Three woodcutters in the nation of Georgia found two warm canisters near their camp and spent the night beside them. The canisters were discarded and unshielded heat sources from Soviet radioisotope thermoelectric generators, containing 30 kCi (1.1 PBq) of 90Sr each" not to mention http://trilema.com/2013/a-simple-example-as-to-why-fiat-institutions-cant-stand/
pete_dushenski: "i was too busy to cook at home". yea, well, this is what your efficiency sowed.
pete_dushenski: i guess 'semi-circular' is really more of a hemispherical eh.
assbot: Logged on 24-11-2015 16:33:22; kakobrekla: as it is now i dont have any obligation to keep it running, if one day i wake up and have enough i can just shut it down singlehandedly - if listed anywhere, this changes
assbot: Logged on 24-11-2015 15:25:24; BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i somehow suspect less than 1 in 500/15 young men die within 5 years. << Aha. The scam is rates to renew policy gradually increase up until 40-50 years of age and then insurance company is all "lol, nope" which makes derps wonder where "affordable" life inurance went when they had no such thing before. Customer backloads their risk, insurance company frontloads theirs and whoever quits
pete_dushenski: needless to say, i took to 'search engines' to find corroborating evidence, and every last fucking result was some derps on some derpy 'lighting' forum.
pete_dushenski: he thought i was kidding and that this was 'old wive's tale'
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-11-2015#1330859 << i was laughed at last night for telling door installer, who was trying to adjust semi-circular halogens in kitchen so that he could find a screw or bit or something, NOT TO TOUCH THE BULBS WHILE THEY WERE ON AND HOT. ☝︎
pete_dushenski: why it didn't occur to me to check before i booked it, i can't say
assbot: Logged on 24-11-2015 15:04:25; mircea_popescu: i somehow suspect less than 1 in 500/15 young men die within 5 years.
cryptone: yes i am an FSF member
BingoBoingo: No idea. I kinda though freenode cloaks were kinda random
