mircea_popescu: i dunno dude. by the time being romanian's a crime in itself i have very little interest left in doing anything but killing people indiscriminately.
pete_dushenski: a cord, which, yes, i would pull if needed. there are better causes to die for. better causes to be a martyr for.
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-09-2015#1259599 << i'm not, as it happens, though this is definitely the exception, at least at the 'reform' level (most secular) and in this part of the world. credit goes to my completely secular father for wanting to give me an alibi. y'know. just in case. ☝︎
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: the above is kinda why i laugh at all the non-sexpr languages.
ascii_field: i wrote more or less this, long ago, in a different formulation :
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i think that's an undefined result of an out of domain operation you're choosing to interpret a certain way.
mircea_popescu: so i'll condense this yet vague and uncoallesced and thus impractical notion in my head by saying : that a body of standards is where engineering starts with physical objects ; and the proof engineering failed with ideal objects.
mircea_popescu: yes, it's true that irl if i misplace the screw and then sit on it it'll puncture my ass.
ascii_field: i kinda ran with the idea, here http://www.loper-os.org/?p=309
ascii_field: (note that i would not write this piece today, in the same way; not sure if type 5 exists in real life at all)
mircea_popescu: i get it, your only experience with movement comes from observing nature.
mircea_popescu: it should be "mom, look what i don't need to do. chief among which, i don't need to go "mom, look what ican do.""
mircea_popescu: i think a lot of computing continued unchecked on a paradigm of "mom, look what ~I~ can do!!11"
mircea_popescu: jurov lemme know in your own time, i'll be around.
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-09-2015#1260095 << this was what i thought, too, and that is why i strapped it to a table and started cutting pieces off ☝︎
mircea_popescu: well inasmuch as you made some irc comments, no. i did look to see if your balance had magically vanished, which it had not.
mircea_popescu: i have a running mmorpg that's simpler. gimme a fucking break. bitcoin is not part of the os-mmorpg-bitcoin trinity.
mircea_popescu: dude what do you want from me ;/ i had nfi what to do with things.
ascii_field: the error msg most closely corresponds to the line in therealbitcoin linked last night. but i do not know what mircea_popescu has there, and won't know unless he shares the snippet. so it gets left here.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i don't have it tho.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field thanks. alrighty, leave this for now until i can have something more sensible to say from this end.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i will have you know that i combed ~5GB of packet dump and found not a trace of your magic tx.
mircea_popescu: in other news, from #eulora : <VariaVarietatis> What is the best way to buy and hold a little bit of btc so I can buy copper from jurov ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo when you're done with that i got a bit of malbolge needs reversing.
ascii_field: oh and is the man in wot ? 'cause i got a very special gift for him, if he is..
ascii_field: ftr i didn't expect him to say anything but precisely this
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i do not know why the man lied.
shinohai: I love my tech, don't get me wrong. But a few nights in the desert or mountains does wonders for clearing away the clutter amongst the little grey bits.
ascii_field: emma goldman supposedly said 'if i can't dance, i want nothing to do with your revolution'
mats: i got a coin for you if this theory pans out
ascii_field: i bet many times more of'em die in traffic.
mats: waco victims were hardly defenseless. i follow what you're saying, particularly re: historical context, but i'm not convinced this is practicable in usa ☟︎
mats: i dunno that the feds could even find folks qualified and willing to do a job like that
punkman: kakobrekla: I think that means XML instead of json
mats: could i prevail upon you to present that in a human readable manner?
mats: kakobrekla: if you would parse that with assbot as 'empyex' and 'mpexbot' are nao defunct i'd be grateful
shinohai: I like your idea better ben_vulpes. Wife implies marriage and I sure as hell have had my lifetime dose of that.
trinque: yeah starts right up without the init.el; I'll have to hack things out and see where it's hanging
shinohai: "I'm hoping at this point he muses about it equally ineffectively for the rest of the year." LOLZ
mike_c: "Because I got balls to take care of." nuff said.
shinohai: http://news.yahoo.com/fox-news-anchor-sues-hasbro-over-toy-hamster-151935145.html <<< I will not say anything racist, I will not say anything racist ....
punkman: I wonder if anyone has sold ebay.com on ebay
punkman: "I know this is too good to be true but I'll try anyway"
ascii_field: 'Never in my wildest dreams would I have expected PayPal to accept screenshots from the seller, as proof of anything.'
ascii_field: 'I expected PayPal would have my back and worst case, the whole transaction would be reversed and nobody would be out anything.' << gold
williamdunne: mike_c: Sorry I meant 16. And because for a whole bunch of the countries they process euros not the national currency
mod6: ahh, i've never had allergies. but.. maybe i guess. feel much better today :]
jurov: mod6 i had "summertime cold" worse every year. it turned out it's actually an allergy
shinohai: I guess I misunderstand economics. The shittier your service is and moar closely aligned with usg interests, the moar successful it becomes.
shinohai: I see coinbase is expanding to Canada and ingapore. Gotta have eyes all over I guess.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: this is how "gamergate" happened too, and everthing else. << I was under the impression gamergate happened because d00d published blog about ex-gf cheating on him who works in games. That's at least what personally brought my attention to it.
asciilifeform: see, when i heard of 'fake tubes', my first thought was something like an old burned-out one but with some chinese semiconductor strange in the plastic base, to emulate a working tube.
kakobrekla: dunno, i havent tested that particular one myself.
asciilifeform: i wonder if the fake folks skip the diffusion pump
asciilifeform: 'In the hulking pile of brick wrapped in pipes and smokestacks that is the building, most of the employees are women. Dressed in blue robes and hair nets, they join together delicate bundles of wire, wafers of rare metal and glass bulbs with fingers trained by years of work. "No man would want to make a tube," Lyudmila V. Afanasieva, 54, said, nimbly sliding wires into a glass cylinder. She worked on the same tube model when i
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: i often wonder why http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-04-2014#602974 did not catch on ☝︎
shinohai: I tried the Chinese tubes, but seems they don't like the slightest amount of overheating.
assbot: Logged on 17-06-2015 14:03:35; asciilifeform: i, for one, only have a mechanical vacuum pump. it clatters, spits oil. would have looked at home in edison's house. i know that i will not be making so much as a triode valve with this pump.
assbot: Logged on 02-11-2013 00:07:12; asciilifeform: when i read these pitches, i can't help but recall: "...Filtration System A Marvel to Behold! It Removes Eighty Percent of Human Solid Waste!"
mircea_popescu: Nowadays, I believe, bed-wetting in such circumstances is taken for granted. It is a normal reaction in children who have been removed from their homes to a strange place. In those days, however, it was looked on as a disgusting crime which the child committed on purpose and for which the proper cure was a beating."
mircea_popescu: "Soon after I arrived at Crossgates (not immediately, but after a week or two, just when I seemed to be settling into routine of school life) I began wetting my bed. I was now aged eight, so that this was a reversion to a habit which I must have grown out of at least four years earlier.
funkenstein_: as I haven't reread any Tolstoy in German or Russian, I must withhold comment
shinohai: The scene from that movies where they stay with the older Jewish couple is probably one of the funniest goddamned things I have ever seen.
davout: i invited the guy over and told him that he'd be fine (unless he's a jew of course)
shinohai: Hue, I wish I had been there. "Yeah. Aren't you guys based in Mom's basement?"
shinohai: I like that though, "Aren't yu guys based in russia or something"?
fluffypony: https://i.imgur.com/iobJtA1.jpg
davout: fluffypony: i've recently joined #bitcoinxt for that purpose
fluffypony: shinohai: I know, I sometimes read that blog post when I've feeling down and I need to laugh at something
assbot: Proof of Stake: How I Learned to Love Weak Subjectivity - Ethereum Blog ... ( http://bit.ly/1FjCBfl )

mircea_popescu: ve, he has once again re-read the entire works of Shakespeare, including the historical plays, and I have felt with an even greater force, the same feelings–this time, however, not of bewilderment, but of firm, indubitable conviction that the unquestionable glory of a great genius which Shakespeare enjoys, and which compels writers of our time to imitate him and readers and spectators to discover in him non-existent
mircea_popescu: "Tolstoy begins by saying that throughout life Shakespeare has aroused in him "an irresistible repulsion and tedium". Conscious that the opinion of the civilized world is against him, he has made one attempt after another on Shakespeare's works, reading and re-reading them in Russian, English and German; but "I invariably underwent the same feelings; repulsion, weariness and bewilderment". Now, at the age of seventy-fi
punkman: I have not measured other than casual use of them
mircea_popescu: it went nowhere. but i guess if the govt gets involved it'll be a great success.
mircea_popescu: <punkman> seems pretty hopeless << actually some derpy "artists" were airing this nonsensical scheme a few years ago. it basically reduces to "isn't it unfair that only some 6/7 chicks get to pretend like they're artists on daddy's dime ? why shouldn't i have a daddy like that!"
fluffypony: cazalla: I work with wildlife fire and rescue and the local anti-poaching groups
assbot: Logged on 02-09-2015 07:15:06; fluffypony: I have a 36x zoom on one of my drones
punkman: I worked on a project that involved predicting future student income for such purposes couple years back.
mats: I think some care should be taken to minimize passive voice usage in future pieces
BingoBoingo: mats: fixed, I think
fluffypony: I'd get WAY better shots from a DSLR with a telephoto zoom lens
fluffypony: and there's no way I'm spying on anyone's shower
fluffypony: I have a 36x zoom on one of my drones ☟︎
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i guarantee you 90% of campus drone usage is to take shower pic of the 3 not-obese females per campus.
mircea_popescu: i guess huh.
mircea_popescu: i forgot this world exists where "download" = "here's a binary"
punkman: hmm, guess I misremember as working on linux
mircea_popescu: i guess that's what half the country tis doing anyway so...myeahk
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo makes 0 sense to me, seeing how you already paid tax on it, but then again i don;t live there
assbot: Logged on 01-09-2015 23:53:24; mircea_popescu: and no stack's not fucking germane. he was trying to insulate HIS INCOME. i was discussing optimizing YOUR EXPENDITURE. not like items.
assbot: Logged on 02-09-2015 05:34:43; mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> and just about everybody, right, left, center, happily buying in. << i'm buying in because i do not believe local resistence is a good idea. the whole thing should burn, and pockets of sanity just make the burn last longer and hurt more.
asciilifeform: whether they will ever be cut apart, or die together, i do not know.
