nubbins`: he's like
a mini-mp, but without the circuitous argument skills
mircea_popescu: but you know that trite happens to be
a sort of banal, right ?
mircea_popescu: shooting people certainly
a lot more practical than "helping" people.
mircea_popescu: it's how i ran my town the only time i ever ran
a town, and it's how i intend to run any town i ever run.
assbot: Logged on 07-12-2015 17:13:22; nubbins`: worthy of
a serious conversation between adults
ascii_field: 'i must step outside and may be
a while' (tm) (r)
assbot: Logged on 07-12-2015 17:02:33; ascii_field: how many people per square metre in
a drill platform ?
assbot: Logged on 07-12-2015 16:58:29; pete_dushenski: why
a quarter-mn to some 23 yo newfie punk ? BECAUSE THE JOB SUCKS. and literally no one would do it for less
pete_dushenski: nubbins`: anyways, once the residual albertabux dry up, newfoundland will go back to being
a 'service economy' or whatever it's been since the cod packed up and left. your housing prices will return to the incredibly affordable 'normal' you were used to, and all will be well again until the next time
a canadian province has
a resource boom and your industrious young men provide the necessary cannon fodder.
nubbins`: seriously, there was
a big bust here recently, i calculated that the cops paid something like $4
a gram for the weed they seized.
nubbins`: trinque if there were no drug prohibition, the world would be
a better, safer place
☟︎ ascii_field: otherwise you get
a lenin eventually and get fucked.
nubbins`: trinque public housing has
a bigger waitlist than addictions help.
trinque: this struck me as
a socialist perspective.
nubbins`: dole is what, $400-smth
a month here?
nubbins`: worthy of
a serious conversation between adults
☟︎ trinque: nubbins` is assuming
a big, cozy socialist state to take care of them
ascii_field: just as
a small hole in your chest is
a hole, whether made by bullet or meteorite
ascii_field: though i hear mircea_popescu has
a broomstick therapy
nubbins`: guess i'll hold up
a convenience store instead
nubbins`: at which point they realize oh, there's
a 6 month waitlist for help
ascii_field: how many people per square metre in
a drill platform ?
☟︎ nubbins`: physical labour 18 hours at
a time particularly sucks
nubbins`: one of those dummies prob will not do
a home invasion some day when he's broke, one prob will
nubbins`: i'd sooner interact with
a dummy than with
a coke-addicted dummy with $200k of personal debt
pete_dushenski: why
a quarter-mn to some 23 yo newfie punk ? BECAUSE THE JOB SUCKS. and literally no one would do it for less
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 07-12-2015 16:56:24; nubbins`: lol. and wiping your ass after taking
a shit is more addictive than cheese
nubbins`: there's
a lesson in here about paying labourers $70k/yr
nubbins`: lol. and wiping your ass after taking
a shit is more addictive than cheese
☟︎ pete_dushenski: "If the trend continues, Alberta could be on track for 654 suicides this year." << and then next year,
a thousand, and the year after that THE WHOLE PROVINCE WILL OFF ITSELF
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: so i've always had
a thing for slavonic whoors it seems ;)
nubbins`: iirc cal3d was my hemorrhoid when i was trying to cobble
a working osx install
phf: hmm, its possible i forgot to remove custom gcc call out from cal3d formula, ill have to check once im in front of
a real computer
nubbins`: not being able to feel pain is actually
a fairly serious condition
nubbins`: think it was
a git issue. progress
nubbins`: i had
a coworker once that wrote
a 500-line function for manipulating arrays
assbot: Judge Jeanine: 'Get
A Gun. Get It Legally. Learn How To Shoot It And Be Primed To Use It' - Fox Nation ... (

nubbins`: hmm i bought
a bunch of shit at the homebrew shop yesterday, and one of the items rang in as $0.00
adlai: hmm i'd phrase it the other way around. if nobody gives
a shit about "vote" results, nobody has incentive to attack it. if people pay attention to elections, they get attacked, but the attack makes it seem that more money cared - because it did
mircea_popescu: basically the only way this thing can pretend to exist is if nobody gives
a shit, and for as long as nobody does.
adlai: you'd still have
a finite proportion of the network, other miners could print votes for themselves, or just process transactions normally, business as usual, which still lets others print their own ballots
mircea_popescu: doh. so if i run
a miner that has $days_left % of total hash output, i can freely vote an infinity of coins. because whatever, i just fill
a block with an endless chain of votes and i'm going to eventually mine it into
a block.
adlai: if we're gonna have an election, at least make it
a spectacle worth watching!

a lot of "industry" is using third party APIs to control their coins...
assbot: Logged on 07-12-2015 07:58:25; punkman: "Imagine
a world where people can send money as easily as we send emails" << yeah sending email is such
a joy these days
mircea_popescu: if you look at things, something like this was unavoidable. there's
a lot of people who wish to "participate" in
a very peculiar ustardian manner, which is why the peculiar ustarded flavour of academia was invented in the first place.
mircea_popescu: haskell is
a few steps down this road, and i hope the participants have fun.
nubbins`: there was
a peak in btc price around nov 5, when i placed order
nubbins`: naw,
a mod gave me my money back :/
nubbins`: so i had
a darknet vendor try to scam me
gmaxwell: fluffypony: well, customers of
a gambling site... probably the case most excusable to use customer funds to support 101.
fluffypony: [11:03:56] <+davout>i know folks with 4-digit btc that also 'invested' in ethereum... <-
a fool and his money...
gmaxwell: I don't feel bad that you doubt it, I wouldn't have believed it if I'd not seen it myself. It does make
a lot of things make more sense.
gmaxwell:
a lot of "industry" is using third party APIs to control their coins...
☟︎ gmaxwell: as there is
a bug for "background update" or something
punkman: "Imagine
a world where people can send money as easily as we send emails" << yeah sending email is such
a joy these days
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Well last time they could afford
a microphone was when they sold their BTC at $5 per and got out
BingoBoingo: punkman: I'm just happy Qntra already had
a Discus Fish from an earlier story
punkman: to 4 MB for the witness part, but the non-witness has same size. The reason for doing the discount, last slide, the reason for doing this discount is that it disincentivizes UTXO impact.
A signature that doesn't go into the UTXO set, can be pruned."
punkman: "We implement segregated witness right now, soon. What we do is discount the witness data by 75% for block size. So this enables us to say we allow 4x as many signatures in the chain. What this normally corresponds to, with
a difficult transaction load, this is around 75% capacity increase for transactions that choose to use it. Another way of looking at it, is that we raise the block size
BingoBoingo: "Less than half of Amerine’s platoon was healthy enough to participate, but this time they were armed with shotguns and tear gas, and they moved in at 3
a.m. Things went off without
a hitch." << For the record this is now US policia SOP
ascii_field: (if i knew of one, i'd have
a motherfucking box)
mircea_popescu: started looking for an article which essentially consists of
a picture of
a derpy kid in
a very messy room (includes an oirange traffic cone) with various "busioness" and "internet tough guy" captions
phf: it sounds like ascii knows exactly what he's doing where's i'm struggling with simply getting all the required elements together. i've gotten as far as reliably reading gpg packets from
a tcp stream, but i still have too many open questions. i'm thinking that my attempt is entirely pointless, but i'll continue it as
a learning exercise. i publish code in
a week or two, so that all can learn how not to write c :)
BingoBoingo: Feeding the dropped as baby crowd greater, targeted idiocies is
a form of suicide promotion
ascii_field: BingoBoingo: 'fork so that no fork' is honest idiocy in the sense that nobody could possibly begin to process the sentence as something like
a proper lie, vs. simple babble
ascii_field: it is 'replacement' in the same sense as
a penny is
a replacement for
a 15 amp edison fuse
