asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: similar feeling to when i saw an american grocery store for first time
mircea_popescu: i'm not entirely certain what exactly strikes your fancy so, asciilifeform
mats: i looked at em, gaudy stuff
asciilifeform: though ftr i was there for ~2h and didn't visit even half the rooms.
asciilifeform: mats: i disrecommend the www; just see my photos.
asciilifeform: possibly one of the worst company www i have ever seen.
asciilifeform: http://www.omansion.com << very spammy www, if i learned of it from www instead of wandering in, would not have even contemplated setting foot near it
asciilifeform: btw that was also the first time in my entire life in usa that i saw proper european-height ceilings.
mircea_popescu: re that "blame shift" : i wouldn't even say it's blame shift or anything. pure "us vs them" mentality. obama bombs some schools ? YAY! schools organise and shoot some us terrorists ? BOO!!1
asciilifeform: i had never before been inside a hose half like that.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://imgur.com/a/GIDeo << i went there today. and this is how i imagine your old house looks like. ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 06-09-2015 23:07:59; mircea_popescu: i dunno. oddly the stan brood never talks.
assbot: Logged on 06-09-2015 22:31:55; pete_dushenski: ;;later tell asciilifeform also, 'order id 22472' would indicate that you have more available btc than rothschilds. who's poor now ? (and yes, i understand that no one will ever actually offer you 'taig' via -otc)
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-09-2015#1264443 << i don't expect to get anything out of this. or rather, i don't expect to see any of the things that i want, for the price i can afford. this requires broke, desperate americans selling to make rent. and i can't see them doing it on mircea_popescutron ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 06-09-2015 22:22:10; mats: in fact i think alf does?
assbot: Logged on 06-09-2015 21:18:13; anton_osika: So long. Thanks for the voice until I can become friends with phunctor.
asciilifeform: that's what i wanna know
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-09-2015#1264205 << win. where do i buy a ticket to the public impalement of the 'best practices' folks ? ☝︎
shinohai: https://i.imgur.com/PkBridv.jpg
mats: i love drama
pete_dushenski: shinohai: sure, but i didn't see jurov seeking advice here. maybe i missed this in the logs ?
shinohai: I may be totally wrong, but I think it is foolhardy *not* to seek advice and varied viewpoints.
pete_dushenski: shinohai: coincidentally, i just saw this http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/06/business/smart-workers-seek-out-advice-study-suggests.html?src=me
shinohai: If someone tells me my product sucks, and it genuinely sucks, perhaps I can use that feedback to not suck.
shinohai: Or mybe I could sustain another workplace injury nd double my income.
mircea_popescu: but to be fair : i also won't hire them if they've been stupid online.
shinohai: I'd last about a week before I burnt the place down.
mircea_popescu: <shinohai> What kind of poppycock is that? Won't hire me if I have been negative online. << it's not hiring as much as living wage layer two. do you want to be like the niggers, getting free pills and welfare checks ? that's living wage layer zero. move to the ghetto. are you instead happy with the minimum wage, tax rebates, etc bullshit ? that's layer one, move to suburbia. ☟︎☟︎
shinohai: One day when I actually have btc I need someone to show me the ropes on coinbr
mats: well, if its any consolation, there's a btc for your troubles when coinbr is up, i know you do a lot of pro bono work around here
mats: i guess it worked because i was the only one with any volume for the longest time
shinohai: I'd like a browser that doesn't break every time it updates every 3 days
shinohai: What kind of poppycock is that? Won't hire me if I have been negative online.
shinohai: I would be absolutely miserable working for a place like this: http://thenextweb.com/lifehacks/2015/09/05/what-it-means-to-build-a-culture-of-positivity/
pete_dushenski: i'm pretty sure there are even 20-25-30 ones about, which is lunacy on a stick
pete_dushenski: to the point where i've seen credit card and debit card terminals that ask if you want to tip one of three pre-selected amounts : 15%, 20%, or 25%.
punkman: you do a good job, or maybe your ass looked good, or I just felt like it, you get a tip
pete_dushenski: because i agree that kitchen staff should take their salary and shut up
pete_dushenski: "Here in Seattle, where the first stage of a $15-an-hour minimum wage law took effect in April, Ivar’s seafood restaurants switched to an all-inclusive menu. By raising prices 21 percent and ending tipping, Bob C. Donegan, the president and co-owner, calculated he could increase everyone’s wages." << welcome to japan. i guess the pearl harbour invasion stuck after all.
mircea_popescu: (i took mine out, because they fucktardedly started using javscript google captcha)
mircea_popescu: i just meant the webirc link he has
mircea_popescu: i guess sohuh
mircea_popescu: i dunno. oddly the stan brood never talks. ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 06-09-2015 21:26:48; mircea_popescu: so wait, what happened here is i just profited 3 btc off this guy's backup failure ?!
mircea_popescu: (but yes, i'm sure "if they really wanted to", meta-etc and so forth, things could have been very different bla bla)
funkenstein_: gotta run sorry, i need a dozen like kakobrekla does - have a good weekend y'all
mircea_popescu: i think longer amount of letter numbers is better bips
trinque: I know others that rock my goddamn boat less, and get more done
funkenstein_: because I was under the impression you were encouraging us to have direction and intent in our efforts
funkenstein_: so shall I program because I can?
funkenstein_: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-09-2015#1263694 <- sorry to be that log reader but I'd like to know wtf this means ☝︎
pete_dushenski: the y-3 'football cleats' were possibly the coolest shoes i ever owned. easily my all-time faves.
pete_dushenski: i still have a y-3 hoodie and basketball jersey in my closet
pete_dushenski: y-3 was my favourite clothing brand, once upon a time when i cared about such things. ideal collision of sportiness, haute fashion, japaneseness, and obscure brand cachet
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-09-2015#1264213 << all day. i noticed this guy for 'y-3' hoodie ☝︎
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell asciilifeform also, 'order id 22472' would indicate that you have more available btc than rothschilds. who's poor now ? (and yes, i understand that no one will ever actually offer you 'taig' via -otc) ☟︎

mircea_popescu: i suppose the reason mexicans today are short stocky dwarves is that the spanish mutated.
mircea_popescu: i suspek so, buyt hey, let the man stand on his words.
funkenstein_: trinque, lol. no, I said no "shouldas". The exercise is to learn from history. But since you mention it, how about alexander the great conquering the new world instead of retarded puritan rejects?
punkman: mircea_popescu: punkman this approach is fundamentally at odds with the "lord over a domain" concept of software development prevalent here. << myeah, last attempt didn't work out too well, and I'd rather make my yearly sysadmining allotment shrink than grow
trinque: anyhow, sounds like a great idea; I will start hacking on it in spare cycles
trinque: o what trolling have I brought upon meself
BingoBoingo: <trinque> yeah I'd just prefer the 10lb heroin happen on someone else's ass, til I move to the barge << Part of the point of a WoT is keeping out people who's publically list such a thing
mats: in fact i think alf does? ☟︎
mats: i still hear good things about them on the interwebs so i think they've maintained quality since
trinque: yeah I'd just prefer the 10lb heroin happen on someone else's ass, til I move to the barge
mircea_popescu: but re the "depending on what's bought and sold", i personally have no qualms whatsoever with negrating into the ground folks who put shit in the board.
mircea_popescu: trinque im full and before moving i wanna see if jurov actually comes through with something usable
trinque: I don't suppose they'd offer enough space for one?
trinque: that'd work once I'm in Houston, as I'm moving my blockchains all onto my own network once there
trinque: I've wanted to move deedbot- off that for a while anyway
mircea_popescu: yeah. and i know i do.
trinque: I will probably still take the flat file approach otherwise; I prefer it
mircea_popescu: i can readily believe that most of the problem was, jack fully expected to be able to BUY THINGS FOR HIS MONEY.
mircea_popescu: moreover, something like this might actually be a perfect solution for my marketplace idea too. i wanna buy all sorts of things like 3d models etc.
assbot: amheekin comments on Cookie Monsters!!! ...and other stuff I've baked. ... ( http://bit.ly/1JKDEHh )
assbot: Logged on 06-09-2015 17:17:54; asciilifeform: i was not able to find how to enforce level stepping in it.
assbot: Logged on 06-09-2015 17:05:49; asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: btw i find it interesting that nobody has yet noticed that 1) broken chains 2) orphaned subchains of any length whatsoever --- do not work
punkman: I think they had published enough code then and they had some stupid application for direct buyers
thestringpuller: "Fellow miners, Some of you receive emails and phone calls from developers. I am not big enough to get that treatment." << LOL. And this is why you side with BIP-101
mircea_popescu: so wait, what happened here is i just profited 3 btc off this guy's backup failure ?! ☟︎
anton_osika: And again, my physical embodiment is openly registered, if you are in the neighbourhood mircea_popescu. And I might not be as dumb as it seems from the backup policies ..
anton_osika: So long. Thanks for the voice until I can become friends with phunctor. ☟︎
anton_osika: That's why I'm harassing mircea_popescu until I make him smile.
anton_osika: Well I believe mircea_popescu would honor a contract where the couterparty has no competition at identifying himself. It would be pleasant to extend the notion of trust to identity in the physical domain however.
anton_osika: My situation as of now is that there is nothing to strictly verify a former fingerprint. However I am the unique holder of the name AntonOsika in Sweden, publicly registered with physical address, so you if you are passing by please find me and I would provide generous housing.
shinohai: I'll have her come register later when I'm done blowing it up.
anton_osika: mircea_popescu: I liked your piece on formalised identity based trust system (WoT). Are there any attempts at extending it to our physical existances such as property?
shinohai: I suppose the same way you would ask any gentleman to dinner.
anton_osika: I do have ultimate respect for the WoT. Hence I want to have a valid keypair for communicating with goodfellas here.
anton_osika: I got my hands cut off so I cannot make signatures; laptop stolen and broken backup. Got any tips for me?
anton_osika: Hello guys, I am having issues with phunctor as you might have guessed.
assbot: Logged on 06-09-2015 12:25:05; ben_vulpes: ;;later tell vextor phuctor has had mains plugs pulled on it several times recenty, and alf's attitude (i believe) is that the thing shoudn't run if its going to have its memory ripped out every time it warms up. remember, it keeps the running product in memory. mircea_popescu's attitude is that "software should be less friable than the hardware upon which it runs". asciilifeform is trying to find the sh
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-09-2015#1263914 << well, less is probably a bridge to far. equally might also be. but i do maintain software can't be MUCH MORE friable than the hardware upon it runs. and i dun think alf disagrees with that much either. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: kinda why like bombama, i abstain from "oh china is self contradictory" emissions.
mircea_popescu: i'm a perfectly illiterate chinese scholar, for that matter.
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu: if frithjof schuon is illiterate then I must be less than a dog
mircea_popescu: anyway, fwiw, i don't readily see a way to construct this "existentialism is fail because its idea of reality precludes itself" into meaningful criticism.
ag3nt_zer0: my entire reason for posting links to this material is that I find it hard to dismiss - hoping that some of the minds in here might check out the longforms and tell me what they think...
