mircea_popescu: i don't get how cash distribution can be held against the management.
asciilifeform: don't say i didn't warn.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: I see. What I don't understand is why CLers haven't just ditched the web.
mircea_popescu: decimation i don't get this. all machines are multi-core
mircea_popescu: lol i stand to make a pretty penny there, don't i.
gabriel_laddel: I don't understand what you're getting at. (emacs) Lisp still has to store things in files.
mircea_popescu: We have 50 million lines of C++ code. No, it's more than that now. I don't know what it is anymore. It was 50 million last Christmas, nine months ago, and was expanding at 8 million lines a quarter. The expansion rate was increasing as well. Ouch."
thestringpuller: i think there are all male universities still around...but I don't know who would want to attend
nubbins`: i don't think the phrase "blew my mind" has a literal meaning
mircea_popescu: <mircea_popescu> i don't really like the mr trololo treatment << this was re the seuss link
mircea_popescu: i don't really like the mr trololo treatment
hanbot: news doesn't call for it so often, i don't think.
asciilifeform: i don't even have to disassemble the beast, extract the fw, and reverse it to have a pretty solid guess
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> you can do minimalist without stooping to using browser defaults << i don't think that's stooping.
nanotube: <thestringpuller> nanotube: how come I can wget the downloads on http://cahier2.ww7.be/bitcoinmirror/otc/today/ <- i think you probably mean "cant", and the answer is i don't know, neofutur keeps that mirror. you can wget from bitcoin-otc.com/otc/
moldysnizz: I don't know what any of that means.
asciilifeform: <ninjashogun> I think you can improve your device by communicating with the host in any other way (LED and webcam, speaker and microphone, whatever), other than as a USB device, which I don't think is the most secure interface for your usage case. No, I didn't have anyone else tell me to tell you this!
ninjashogun: I don't htink that's the sole purpose of letting me speak.
ninjashogun: What I mean is that that is the meaning of the sentence "things you don't understand and things that are random don't share much common ground" gramatically. (though i understand you're just being rhetorical). after you factor out the double negatives.
ninjashogun: You're essentially saying everything I don't understand is deterministic (non-stochastic). Well, okay.
ninjashogun: asciilifeform, yes in the sense that several people here have said things like "I read thorugh that twice and don't see where USG comes in"
asciilifeform: mats_cd03: actually he does have one thing to offer - the truth about why he came here. but i don't expect to hear it.
mircea_popescu: ss your heart" Southern affectation of intense, polite agreement with everything that makes a mockery of any attempt at challenging conversation. Even when Bucky started ranting about various street artists and why they are or are not sellouts, Berry would strenuously agree, despite the fact that—and I don't think I'm speaking out of turn here—the street art scene in Branson is rather limited. Banksy's new piece? "
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: and i don't care specifically because we want bitcoin to take over the financial, and with it the political power in the world. all of it. << so *that's* why we're here!
xanthyos: i just don't want to spend hours a week comparing the lengths of my fingernails anymore.
hanbot: i don't put too much stock in the whole dsm classification stuffs.
mike_c: my once-a-month pace already strains my time for writing. i don't think i'm the right fit for a newsroom.
mircea_popescu: mike_c i don't think he was proceeding very calculatedly tbh.
Quinn_: I don't arrange commissioned work through irc chats, not very trustworthy.
Quinn_: well I don't know what type of cartoons you want, so i can't tell you if i can agree to it or not.
chetty: I don't think they even need actual disease now, the fear may be enough
mircea_popescu: i don't get this. you telling me it's specifically because obama is a kenyan citizen ?
BingoBoingo: I have a gut feeling that the big reason more US'ians don't follow through with their going to Canada threats is that Canada is too close to what they are leaving. That and Canada doesn't really want them.
mike_c: last i heard we had hit moon and were aiming for mars. but i don't keep track.
bounce: oh I haven't really kept up with that. maybe I should read up. but the point in the very general sense is that we don't know yet how we're going to waste tomorrow's bandwidth. you know, like youtube is quite a thing these days, but only can exist because availability of >>dialup bandwidths
mircea_popescu: and i don't care specifically because we want bitcoin to take over the financial, and with it the political power in the world. all of it.
mircea_popescu: mike_c no but really, "i don't see". let's all go to the hospital and start derping, "i don't see why i'd have to take my clothes off"
mike_c: <+mircea_popescu> i don';t giuve a shit what usefullness you see or don't see. << another contender for the b-a tagline :)
mechtronic2001: Would this be a proper channel to post my btcjam funding page. It would be an investment, but I don't want to step on toes here.
mircea_popescu: i don';t giuve a shit what usefullness you see or don't see.
go1111111: mircea_popescu: I don't see the usefulness if high fees, except as a means to secure the network. but fees will be a small portion of the reward to miners for a while. low fees enable transactions to occur that would otherwise be too costly, eliminating deadweight loss
asciilifeform: i still don't grok 'doxing'
Vexual: yeah don't ask coz i dunno
asciilifeform: 1, idk, private key of fellow who i don't even know is alive, eh
mircea_popescu: i don't think they ever did something i didn;t like. but then mtv came out and i stopped following.
nubbins`: actually, i don't know if i have any eggs left.
BingoBoingo: "These both follow the same output format, according to DETAILS. But look what happens when I add spaces to align the columns:" << Then don't align the fucking columns to make them "look nice"
Vexual: i don't even wanna read that the headline and byline are so good
mircea_popescu: "o, someone important wrote something i don't like about me ? i know, i will CHANGE so that i'm no longer like that!11"
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: i wouldnt give 10 to my mother << you don't know her like we do :D
dub: decimation: I don't really consider teh US as having a political system
TheNewDeal: I don't want to lose that much!
nubbins`: i know plenty of people 10y+ that i don't trust
midnightmagic: I don't. It's just irritating.
mircea_popescu: they;re one of the lenders, but! i gotta say they parlayed very little into a whole lot. they don't actually have enough btc on hand to justify a 30mn grant.
mircea_popescu: i wonder why all the people with shitty names don't get together and make their own country.
nubbins`: i'm sorry, i know you don't have answers
dbolser: thickasthieves: I don't argue that the two are related in a complex way, but I wonder if there is a lower bound on price whereby mining 'colapses'
pete_dushenski: decimation: what I find amusing is that the lefties don't get that they are in a relgious war because they don't even realize that what they are derping about is metaphysics << definitely amusing. though you have to figure that *some* know the equalitarianism can't be measured.
decimation: what I find amusing is that the lefties don't get that they are in a relgious war because they don't even realize that what they are derping about is metaphysics
asciilifeform: decimation: i don't give a damn - it was sane before, and is turd-encrusted now in 100 ways
asciilifeform: at that point i don't even care what the reasoning was. i don't care if it saved a thousand orphans from a fiery death.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic> Linus is a drunk, I don't know why anybody expects anything different from him. << linus actually has a point.
midnightmagic: I don't really care much about his attitude. But his brain is malfunctioning because he is drunk all the time.
midnightmagic: Linus is a drunk, I don't know why anybody expects anything different from him.
dionyziz: I don't think it's a solved problem.
dionyziz: As I said, in OpenBazaar we don't try to solve the problem of shipping.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: i don't recall, do we like j tucker ? << o mr. sleepyhead? there's definitely worse muppets out on the "conference" scene.
mircea_popescu: Benton: "Yeah, they're real nice guys. We're in the process of suing them right now — for slander and everything else, dude. They're going around telling people I'm addicted to methamphetamine. You know what? Who hasn't experimented with a few things in their life? Big deal. So what if I experimented? They did, too! But, look, I don't even drink anymore, man. I mean, I'll have a Heineken every once in a while, but I
oda_krell: I suppose the 10min temp voice is one's chance to really shine in here, huh? Song and dance routine maybe? Anyway, don't have anything to really say right now, but I like to lurk from time to time.
mircea_popescu: i don't recall, do we like j tucker ?
Vexual: ah yes bb, i don't see things like that though
Vexual: actually i don;t want t be too much of a bother, but i think you'll find that patent is actually mine
mircea_popescu: i got the answer to that, dear democratic underground. IT'S BECAUSE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE WORLD WORKS!
kakobrekla: >but I chose to make this account because my girlfriend is a redditor too and I don't want to get any backlash by posting this on my main account.
mircea_popescu: Duffer1: i would neverrrr let some random asshat at a market scan a card << definitely. i don't understand all the geriatric derps giving away their card in like restaurants and whatnot. it's patent insanity, like a third of restaurant workers are on drugs, it's the junkie central. more so than jail.
Duffer1: i don' think i've ever seen that before
The20YearIRCloud: don't know, talking to investors and there's a possibility i won't
mircea_popescu: i don't think they have that french pinko commie stuff in the us of a
jurov: otherwise i don't see there anything upworthy
mircea_popescu: jurov: don't want to end up with whole position on F.MPIF side << why not ? i'll just unwind it. the latest report actually says so, didja read it ?
jdany_: Yep. So, do you guys stay active in Havelock - or are there other securities that I don't have exposure to
assbot: BtcAlpha.com F.MPIF Tracker estimated NAV per share: 0.00021861 B (Total: 478.05 B). Delta: -2.17 B. I don't know those people, and they don't look very friendly.
jurov: ;;later tell davout you really don't need help with x.eur MM bot? i don't even remmeber when there were any asks
asciilifeform: decimation: these don't really get rolled into rent effectively, so i don't much care
mircea_popescu: decimation i don't get why bureaucrats shouldn't kowtow.
The20YearIRCloud: guess i don't understand how a large-ish business that takes BTC and runs into the asme cashout problems as us could operate with it
TheNewDeal: I don't believe the price of bitcoin can go negative, alas I'm not an economics expert
mircea_popescu: it's not that. i don't care about the man's memory or anything. im trying to explain a fundamental difference in approach.
mircea_popescu: mkay so the situation is that you have a btc-e account and work as a broker, but when i asked you the first time you figured it's a good moment to insert a pretense of significant holdings you don't actually hold, and in doing so inadvertently blew to bits your earlier description of your actual activity, which was up to that point correct.
mircea_popescu: anyway, btc-e has indeed been around for a long time, and no i don't know anything substantial against them, so.
Vexual: i don;t think is mom is a phrichiatrist anyway
decimation: yeah I don't see how 'usb' was an improvement over say 'rs-422'
bounce: though I'd be perfectly willing to ignore any and all redmond products regardless of reported usage percentages, they just don't play well with others
BingoBoingo: I don't think the current super mininum style is going to be a permanent feature on qntra, but... page load times are a thing. Got to plan for people accessing the internet using dialup through a payphone.
BingoBoingo: thickasthieves: Well the design is just to get the thing started. I just don't know of any graceful way to handle the problem of really big monitors.
mircea_popescu: mthreat so i don't get it... where is the damage ?
mircea_popescu: i don't get this pussy bs. why not just open fire ?
mircea_popescu: dude i don't spend enough time with hicks, trolls and angry ppl.
ben_vulpes: don't you have to do abhorrent things to their genetics to get them to poop diesel? i'm just talking about rendering the grass/beans into alcohols i think.
