ben_vulpes: anyone writing contracts mentioning tmsr~ without being in the wot's looking for
a paddlin

mircea_popescu: <pete_dushenski> the dill's what makes this dish though whether this is
a traditional ingredient, i couldn't say << certainly not.
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: once or twice
a year i get
a check for $10 or so from them.
pete_dushenski: pretty sure i'm eligible for this groupon one. i dun see why i shouldn't give it
a go.
assbot: Logged on 09-11-2015 16:23:54; BingoBoingo: So the Toomin guy finally got
a block just
a bit over 1MB on Testnet, and now he's reorging testnet back to core rules demonstrating Altcoin security is shit and that they really don't want people testing blocks anywere near 8MB until the raeping
pete_dushenski: this is perhaps even funnier for anyone who's ever seen
a baby get 'milk drunk' before passing out

ascii_field: the one where anybody in usa, other than possibly
a coma patient, is 'criminal'
thestringpuller: Hey I'm down to start
a crime syndicate with ascii_field ; he'd be
a great brain behind the operation
ascii_field: hey i'm already
a criminal in the sense contemplated in mircea_popescu's article re: same
jurov: it's cute how you all want to convert alf into
a criminal :D
thestringpuller: What about say
a nice night with the pet at the fanciest restaurant in town?
ascii_field: you know how some folks cannot ride
a bicycle, no matter what ?
thestringpuller: it's about you don't have access to XYZ? (aka people/tools/skills/etc. to support such
a scheme"
ascii_field: i couldn't so much as to buy
a bottle of rotgut 'under the table'
thestringpuller: first step is to buy
a cash business under the table like
a restaurant or movie theatre or car wash
assbot: Logged on 22-08-2015 22:07:45; mircea_popescu: for the record, it's not even clear moving from bearer to certified insturment is anti-liberty. for insmtance - hansa used the certifierd instrument greatly, because as
a merchant, giving your son
a plain "pay the bearer so much silver upon presentation of this note in such town" was merely an invitation to any highwayman on route to "please fuck this young man in the ass and here's the pay for your
ascii_field: but yes, iirc we had
a thread where i noted that if i were to find
a 747 packed with benjies in my back yard, it would make no measurable difference in my standard of living and would in fact be at least annoying
ascii_field: 'It's not clear what will happen to the money as of now, but many speculate that Jose Mariena Cartolos will not be allowed to keep the money and it will be taken by the Colombian Government and probably spent on improving the life of poor farmers all over the country.' << l0l, oughta have found
a bitcoin pit instead ?
mircea_popescu: "Do you know what "nemesis" means?
A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an 'orrible cunt... me."
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: this is when i confess that i always saw n as
a hero
assbot: Logged on 09-11-2015 18:12:09; ascii_field: and i distinctly recall ln2 powdering being offered as
a sort of alt-cremation service somewhere
mircea_popescu is persuaded that if he lived at that time, he would have also set rome on fire and fiddled while it burned, also made horses senators and in general, the whole nine yards. it's
a historical necessity.
mircea_popescu: now consider that nero lived in very similar times, and all of
a suden you might see the lad as
a very heroic figure.
mircea_popescu: i don't suppose
a generation war - in the proper, 20th century sense, with mass rapes, mass graves and concentration camps - was ever this morally necessary. forget justified, it's not that it's justified, it is that it's
a sine qua non mandatory requirement, just like hanging the nazis.
mircea_popescu: "no mom, i'm not holding
a wedding. i'm holding
a "you people suck" party, attendance is mandatory, and you will all have to delight in my excrement while telling me how just like pork and beans it tastes"
mircea_popescu: by now, obviously kid is more likely to "go to college" than summon up his entire extended family and make each person eat some of his shit at
a great family reunion, "because you people suck"
mircea_popescu: that's exactly "us economy|" : i will eat your moderately stinky shit and call it hamburger if you eat this very runny shit and call it
a slurpee.
mircea_popescu: same exact fucking process, in the words of carlin, "
a group of people trying to fuck each other
a little deeper,
a little faster, every time".
ascii_field: and i distinctly recall ln2 powdering being offered as
a sort of alt-cremation service somewhere

a command economy
BingoBoingo: So the Toomin guy finally got

☟︎ kakobrekla: sorry to disappoint, i have
a better vacuum cleaner that that. was about same price.
mircea_popescu: and now, off to eat cold HOMEMADE pizza in bed. turns out i live just like
a coder, the only difference being the little differences. like slave labour.
mircea_popescu: there exists
a tiny island that's perfectly equipped to laugh them into the dirt.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-11-2015#1320627 <<< how unfortunate for them that in an entire sea of idiots either lapping up the entire protective nonsense ("don't be mean" / "privilege is bad" / "sociopaths!111 don't careabout THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES111") or else too cognitively impaired to get much further than
a vague feeling of existential nausea
☝︎ assbot: Logged on 09-11-2015 07:58:09; punkman: "they did
a trawl pull the outer part of Lyngen in an area they normally receive both fish and shrimp. Trawler came up with large amounts of jellyfish and virtually no fish or shrimp."
mircea_popescu: the truth is i don't have
a good solution to evolving contracts, and this is all part of exploring that space.
mircea_popescu: i never thought this possible, it struck me as
a bad idea. it dies there.
mircea_popescu: soviets ashamed of themselves ? sort-of like going to the strip club to watch
a bunch of nude ladies bent like teens and protecting their pubenda.
shinohai: can confirm,
a bot on tardstalk yields gems

a Smart Reply suggestion to start editing it. If it’s perfect as is, just tap send. Two-tap email on the go -- just like Bálint envisioned."
adlai: trinque: fwiw deedbot- also seems to be using uncompressed addresses, perhaps
a bug of the feature variety
punkman: "they did
a trawl pull the outer part of Lyngen in an area they normally receive both fish and shrimp. Trawler came up with large amounts of jellyfish and virtually no fish or shrimp."
☟︎ pete_dushenski: not one such 'graphics adapter' that i could find was produced by
a manufacturer that i'd ever heard of. all seemed to be chinese 'brands', the type that horribly misspell labels
trinque: and incidentally adlai this one when finished will be released as
a deed itself.
pete_dushenski: what, like giving your child
a legacy is free ? pff. don't be cheap. buy more $aapl
punkman: except they stop working after
a couple years

☟︎ pete_dushenski: so the system would lean on them as
a safe bet if it was unsure. Normalizing the likelihood of
a candidate reply by some measure of that response's prior probability forced the model to predict responses that were not just highly likely, but also had high affinity to the original message. This made for
a less lovey, but far more useful, email assistant.
punkman: "But replying to email on mobile is
a real pain, even for short replies." oh so Android sucks for doing anything?
assbot: Logged on 08-11-2015 16:45:02; mircea_popescu: hilary doesn't stand
a chance, in this atmosphere. for that matter, it wouldn't be surprising if the democratic party splits up, in multiple bits even.
pete_dushenski: though this similarity in the coefficient of expansion assumes
a triple-glazing, which is relatively common here, whereas milder climates will use double, even single-glazed windows
pete_dushenski just realised how shocked he'd be to find
a fibreglass-framed window anywhere in greece
punkman: so question for engineers: I have an aluminum window casing that's corroding in
a couple spots around the edges, and corroded part is growing outwards something like puffy/powdery flakes. been trying to find the technical term to no avail.
mod6: However, the head proved an irresistible target for students, especially from King's College London, who stole the head in 1975 and demanded
a ransom of £100 to be paid to the charity Shelter. UCL finally agreed to pay
a ransom of £10 and the head was returned. "
phf: in any case that's, so far, the best option i found for keeping the evils of c at
a slight distance. at least interested parties can read and inspect the code, without skipping tricky parts
phf: it doesn't necessarily has to be particularly intrusive, i've looked at some of his "hacks", and they are very lightly annotated, but the partitioning still makes more sense that the direct flow of
a c file
phf: i like that the end result can be wholly signed and produces
a spiffy dvi for printing
mircea_popescu: incidentally, the only case where
a "source is the spec" could be excused, is properly written knuth c.
phf: it's
a tried and true strategy, original javascript has been done that way. i recently learned that that's the way dot-net garbage collector was written
mircea_popescu: if you end in this situation where you have
a beautiful prototype and
a buggy implementation people are going to hate you.
phf: i'm pretty bad
a dijkstra programming, i need to see the system behave to reason clearly about it, and c is not it. besides the translation is the tirvial part
phf: as far as lisp, yeah, not practical for deployment, but i started getting bogged down in trivial serialization questions, before i understand clearly how the whole system is supposed to work. once i get the spec as is up, i want to start working through those comments to modify it into
a udp lower level system. in any case lisp is better option for gossip prototype, because the spec is so open ended
phf: asciilifeform: gpgme doesn't exactly "calls out", it talks to gpg via
a text protocol, but i agree with your overall point. gossip has
a fixed set of crypto operations, that can be abstracted, until you finish your crypto state machine gizmo.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they're not
a dead end for the following reason : the P must be
a stand-alone building block anyway.
