mod6: wtf? sorry about this line: log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-10-2015#1299790 I must have accidentially pasted it. :/
trinque: I have put that doc back through.
ben_vulpes: but i am an orc, ignorant history and might be picking the wrong feller.
mircea_popescu: tbh i think the inverse is a stronger statement.
mircea_popescu: does the jump make sense or should i drop some pontoons ?
mircea_popescu: i read it on goat-and-me.com
asciilifeform: the point i was trying to make then, as now, is that mri - like fingerprints - is a confession-inducer and evidence-planter apparatus, let's say 'guiltwashing', rather than necessarily a fact-finder. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: n the justice system. I'd argue any association studies have no place in court, especially when they are read backwards ("because he has this, he is this.")
mircea_popescu: But more importantly, forensic brain scans represent the worst kind of classism. They say, essentially, that because your brain looks very similar to other brains, then you belong in that class; and you take on their other qualities. They may be appropriate for scientific investigations-- as early clues directing further research, "hey, this is interesting, let's look over here from now on"-- but they have no place i
ben_vulpes: "but i can see the coke bits floating in it. and it shatters when i hit it with a hammer."
ben_vulpes: if your al is chipping under hand load i'm not really willing to accept that it's aluminum
mircea_popescu: it turns out to be not only the best green tea i ever had, but so fucking great i'm actually drinking some.
mircea_popescu: so i spent four dollars for eight ounces of jasmin green tea.
trinque: I understand why the unit to work with here is the verifiable one. is there something more to it?
mircea_popescu: dja understand how this models out or should i go into it ?
trinque: "if I was a part of this bundle, my backup has the whole bundle" ?
trinque: so if I then pulled by fingerprint and dumped them out, would not have anything a spend referred to
mircea_popescu: here's what i was thinking trinque : how much complexity would it add if the download was of the format
trinque: mircea_popescu: sure; easy cron job. I'll provide a URL for that
trinque: I'll fiddle with this in private a bit and let ya know when it goes through.
mircea_popescu: cuz i've not yet come up with a year scheme
mircea_popescu: "So I bought a sewing factory makes a good title but the truther is that I bought a near perfectly sized industrial building and remodeled it to become a sewing factory."
assbot: So I bought a sewing factory | Fashion-Incubator ... ( http://bit.ly/1Kghg7F )
mircea_popescu: vaguely related : http://fashion-incubator.com/so-i-bought-a-sewing-factory/
mircea_popescu: http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2008/10/greys_anatomy_kill_me_now.html << in which we find ballas is not only amusingly sophomoric when it comes to finance&investment, but also animated by a rather hick sexual philosophy. down to the very typical "i'm not a raceyst but dem niggars!" formulation, even.
pete_dushenski: this might seem like a loss for the lonely business traveler, but until hyatt offers 'safe' internet with the 5 'safest' websites and those alone, i wouldn't worry about it too much
pete_dushenski: holy lolz that's a first, i just had an entire half-hour convo between myself and assbot
mircea_popescu: trinque hey, is there a url to download deedbot's db, i forget ?
shinohai: ;;later tell funkenstein Yo fam, if you need holding and spending assistants when you hit 1000 BTC I'm your guy.
funkenstein_: i'd like to have a thousand bitcoins, but somebody else to hold and spend them for me
funkenstein_: <gabrielradio> i would like to have as many kids as possible, and ideally be involved as little as possible <-- perhaps you'd also like to have girlfriends, but never see or fuck them
assbot: Logged on 17-10-2015 00:48:53; pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-10-2015#1300614 << hey nice ! i was looking at this one a few months back as a potential victim for my rom-eng secret sauce machine. i think i might just take this translation as a more than adequate starting point, clean it up, and post it :)
punkman: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-10-2015#1300961 << I like that mr kragen's blogs were mailing lists ☝︎
gabrielradio: i guess i'll translate http://trilema.com/2009/insarcinati-va/ next, maybe i'll get some insight i missed
gabrielradio: i like to think i can mold the chicks into being cool with that wherever
gabrielradio: i do see your point, yea
mircea_popescu: what am i, like harlan ellison's noob that fell off the turnip truck ? so excited to be published i forget to pick up the check ?
gabrielradio: just curious. i'm on the other end of the spectrum, i would like to have as many kids as possible, and ideally be involved as little as possible, maybe in their education or such
mircea_popescu: how about "i don't feel like wasting any of the women i can stand enough to fuck on this fool's errand" ?
gabrielradio: probably because i am not one yet, who knows
gabrielradio: so i for one don't find that many drawbacks to parenthood
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't raise them myself anyway, what do they have mothers for ?
gabrielradio: mircea_popescu, i find your stance on procreating intriguing. i'm curious, would you be inclined to say have biological kids, but not raise them yourself?
ben_vulpes: that's the sweetest thing i've ever seen from you, mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: yet another reason i don't feel inclined to procreate : i don't actually know of a group for whose sake i'd be willing to lie to eventual daughters.
asciilifeform: for some reason i imagined that it were done by field medics in schools or the like.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: on a not-unrelated note, i learned that a few floors down from my office there is a ~pediatric shrink~. prolly prescribes dope, even.
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many people are willing to earnestly contemplate the sad truth that you HAVE TO tell small boys that they're better than small girls, and you HAVE TO construct everything to make them actually believe it. nobody wants to do this, everyone has to do this, because the alternative is, plainly speaking, death.
asciilifeform: any other fundamental boojum, go and abuse, but this one - i felt on own skin.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i see nobody orbiting...
asciilifeform: ^ now that's an interesting bit of stage magic. i suspect that the two instruments (strappado and spanish horse) cancel out
mircea_popescu: but i guess the old adage stands, that there's no better way to understand a text than to try and translate it\
gabrielradio: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-10-2015#1300433 << mircea_popescu comparing the two is pretty instructive for me, i think i got a better idea now ☝︎
funkenstein_: i input a few keys.. they went into the keystore, nothing odd happened
funkenstein_: i grabbed some source labeled 0.6.0 which had importprivkey
asciilifeform: i thought you wrote it ?
funkenstein_: i thought so but hey, you know how that goes..
assbot: Logged on 17-10-2015 00:15:17; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i have nfi where you expect "foss" code without shitgnome signatures to come from.
cazalla: pete_dushenski, ya know, i can't honestly remember what they're called down under (thanks for other comments too)
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-10-2015#1300614 << hey nice ! i was looking at this one a few months back as a potential victim for my rom-eng secret sauce machine. i think i might just take this translation as a more than adequate starting point, clean it up, and post it :) ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: i tyhought bitcoin was supposed to be dead etc.
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell hdbuck i think you 'withdraw your objection', rather than 'rest your case'. http://qntra.net/2015/10/uber-provides-alibi-for-armed-robbery/#comment-67516
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=13-10-2015#1298016 << update: adam_obrien and i played golf this afternoon and chatted about pgp key-signing. in his excitement at discovering the command line tools, he tried out everything he could find (he's an enthusiastic kid!) and yes, signed my key. he was quite surprised to learn that this changed the key block on the sks etc servers.. fwiw ☝︎
pete_dushenski: i'm only counting two there
mircea_popescu: i guess b-a is a very good venue to discuss the matter.
mircea_popescu: i on the other hand have held under lease tens of millions worth (dubviously, which is why i lease in the first place) of real estate the world over during the past decade or so...
mircea_popescu: ah yea, managed some small office building thing, i recall.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu so will all my days, doesn't mean i'm not going to milk each and every one of them
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i have nfi where you expect "foss" code without shitgnome signatures to come from. ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 16-10-2015 09:48:04; cazalla: punkman, been a daily thing for almost 3 years for me, just grown tired of it and the conversations about it past few months, i'm not saying "bitcoin is dead" just that i'm tired of talking/reading about it after this long, feel like going to do something else for 6-12 months and looking at it then after a break
assbot: Logged on 16-10-2015 09:05:26; BingoBoingo: So far October has been an frustratingly boring part of Bitcoin. I am worried though that Qntra is crossing into its second year and people don't want a giftwrapped chance to write a first story. Is qntra insufficiently established or does this seem too much of a trap. I the cost of fucking up in #b-a seeming too high? I am confused.
pete_dushenski: which i guess is just 'if you can, you must' re-stated
pete_dushenski: lol i guess that's another angle eh
pete_dushenski: not that richard zach and i crossed paths...
pete_dushenski: o hey i was just in calgary on wednesday
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu for whom does gnu-mpi have the jacobi, legendre, kronecker, lucas knobs?! i have failed to turn up any instance of anyone ever having used them. or even tested.
assbot: Logged on 16-10-2015 01:01:56; mircea_popescu: "The women with depressed, unhelpful husbands did not report lower levels of marital satisfaction; rather they were maintained at high levels. One interpretation of our data was that the women's more negative memories of their fathers served the function of minimizing (or denying) their husbands' failure to be as helpful as needed. If this is all that can be expected of men, then I can no longer rec
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-10-2015#1300100 << this'd be interesting to verify personally, however anecdotally, except that i'm missing one key condition ... ☝︎
cazalla: ascii_field, not exactly (but i do need to find a job), just want a break from everything bitcoin so i can go find something else
mircea_popescu: alrighty i think we got an agreement there. post an addy an' we'll have a memorandum on deedbot laters.
assbot: Logged on 16-10-2015 18:26:37; mircea_popescu: so BingoBoingo, since cazalla's getting out, i figure 10 btc for his chunk should be good enough ? (what you think cazalla ?). you wanna go halves with me in it ?
cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-10-2015#1300479 <<< this is actually what i mean, i guess i should flesh out my thoughts a bit more before mashing enter ☝︎
ascii_field: 1) he wasn't paid in genuine money 2) i'm not convinced that he's a cultured man
ascii_field: where do i go to see this ?
mircea_popescu: but from what i hear the "cultured poor" a la ers fare not much better.
ascii_field: sure is. lottery players are drawn from the stinking-poor. while i'm describing the cultured-poor.
mircea_popescu: because from what i hear on your planet the life expectancy of lottery winner is 3 years.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: back to the 'poor' thread, i can't comment re: your planet, but on mine we have no shortage of imbeciles with fat wallets and penniless erdöses
mircea_popescu: so i'll just discount it.
ascii_field: i didn't hang'em up upside-down and connect to the mains to get the truth, no.
ascii_field: well, interestingly, i personally did. the last time i checked out of a flat. but knew others, who rented in same building, who did not, and without any particularly good reason other than 'landlord knew they hadn't what to sue with'
mircea_popescu: words mean nothing in and of themselves, and the pretense to the contrary is always self-serving bullshit when deployed in such contexts, "oh, i can't afford to litigate"
mircea_popescu: "i'm not fat because i want to, it's just my genes"
mircea_popescu: so BingoBoingo, since cazalla's getting out, i figure 10 btc for his chunk should be good enough ? (what you think cazalla ?). you wanna go halves with me in it ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: yeah yeah if you aren't on a nietzschean atomic dirigible you're nothing, i get it
mircea_popescu: haha i guess huh
mircea_popescu: kinda lulzily parallels the entire "i'm special in my you're special t shirt"
asciilifeform: where i live, it more typically means that you are 'more distant from the pipeline'
asciilifeform: also lulzily, where i live, not only tenants 'feel oppressed' by landlord, but (small-time) landlords also 'oh noez we are oppressed' by tenants!
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-10-2015#1300456 << where i live, 'return keys' is a ceremonial thing, landlord traditionally changes lock each time ☝︎
