A Guide To Buying 5000 Ether/Bitcoin, 2.5x More Than Ethereum’s Genesis Sale Offers | Contravex:
A blog by Pete Dushenski ... (
http://bit.ly/1LTGPjz )
ether_: O well, I just read some news article about how microsoft is going to use ether for
a new service, so I wanted to buy
a few thousand just in case.
mircea_popescu: there was an open offer for
a long time. none of the sort of starstruck noob that falls for scamcoins with some regularity had enough btc to actually take
a position, with one exception. that dude then managed to lose his key.
ether_: Just mentioned it because I send it as
a PM.
ether_: mircea i have
a question for you
mircea_popescu:
A judge at Westminster Magistrates' Court said Wednesday that Caroline Westlake must pay 800 pounds ($1,235) to Kate Sanders for assaulting her in
a dispute over colleague Adam Davies, who had dated both women.
mircea_popescu: "
A former meerkat expert at London Zoo has been ordered to pay compensation to
a monkey handler she attacked with
a wine glass in
a love spat over
a llama-keeper."
punkman: mircea_popescu: Andy's also
a journo, so probably not even Andy's photo
punkman is chipping away at
a big piece
mircea_popescu: check it out - disaster mitigation created
a ddos avenue
punkman: "Looking for somebody who is fuzzing 64-bit #Chrome on
a 1Gb Win7 VM with crash reporting turned on; @ChromiumDev are not happy w/ the noise"
thestringpuller: for instance during
a steam sale, people will get like 50 games and play maybe 5
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: steam is like the facebook of gaming. out of all the games people download from steam they play
a small percent of them.
diametric: "It was floating northeast at around 30 mph. Authorities said it is equipped with
a device to slowly deflate it, but it apparently is not working."
assbot: Logged on 28-10-2015 18:13:22; thestringpuller: phf: yea steam is super picky, and takes
a huge cut of payment for using their platform
mircea_popescu: currently there is no official way to buy eulora anything anywya. you want to, gotta find
a player that does it.
mircea_popescu: i suppose if you find it, take extensive pics and blog them you're
a terrorist, right ?
thestringpuller: one required "the nintendo seal of approval" to appear on
a nintendo console and it usually saved developers/publishers since consumers at that shit up
thestringpuller: Nintendo was very much
a walled garden distribution center for the NES/Famicom
thestringpuller: well maybe in app store, [other defacto walled garden here]. Steam is more of
a distribution platform rather than
a true walled garden.
ascii_field: saved from bankruptcy, yes, but now you are in
a kolhoz.
thestringpuller: but it's saved
a lot of publishers from bankrupcy in the last 5 years or so.

☟︎ ascii_field: ;;later tell mircea_popescu 'Turns out that the grapics chips required
a binary blob so we decided to drop supporting Lemote, they are just not getting the point. Mixing an open source CPU with an evil graphics chip is just retarded.'
funkenstein_: instead of
a single directory "bitcoin" with that in it
funkenstein_: my mistake was that inside
a & b were: COPYING and /src directory
mod6: then you copy in
a "pressed" version or "branch" into
a & b, make your changes in b, then vdiff, all should be happy.
mod6: i guess i should note that you should run this step first: mkdir -p
a b
mod6: vdiff.sh
a b > your_patch_name.vpatch
mod6: cp -pr bitcoin
a && cp -pr bitcoin b
assbot: Logged on 28-10-2015 16:30:06; funkenstein_: so after
a number of tests I was going to submit the fix on this patch, but after using V more often it has become clear that it is annoying to have patches made from different places in the directory
funkenstein_: of course V still can be used in either case to apply any patch you like made from anywhere, just
a minor annoyance
funkenstein_: might be worth noting that following mod6 v0.0.3: Creating, Naming, and Submitting
a Vpatch will be doing the diff one dir up from the source
funkenstein_: so.. what exactly was meant by "forgetting the key" if one were to say, discard
a vpatch / sig combo?

☟︎ mircea_popescu: re bets : it is, provided you actually got
a bankroll for em.
gabrielradio: main idea behind the whole thing is that bookies need to give odds for every possible game out there. instead, you only need to identify
a few where they got it wrong
punkman: you know, hamplanets have
a lot of room for explosive implants
mircea_popescu: "This makes anons perfect cover for harassers. Not being willing to accept bad faith arguments on their own terms and debate them as if they merited
a response is seen as proof of the weakness of your arguments." except all bad arguments can be reduced by reference and demolished in their own terms. an INABILITY to do so speaks to the poor intellectual capacity of the unable, and it is in fact prima facie evidence that
mircea_popescu: "This tension in anon culture, that every single person is empowered by the whole of the group and thus merits treatment as
a peer, turns these individual hostile challenges into
a storm of entitled demands for attention. Anons see themselves as peers to everyone, empowered by the support of the group, and thus entitled to participate in any conversation they aren’t forcibly prevented from entering."
☟︎ BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'd have to do
a password reset. I'd rather just leave it abandoned.
BingoBoingo: I kinda thought about tossing
a couple pennies at it, but there's gotta be more interesting stuff in the future.
BingoBoingo: Not literally huge. Just size is
a part of its common name.
BingoBoingo: Nah, more like
a bible, but printed on real paper
BingoBoingo: Actually went to
a meeting tonight. Was gifted
a book of extraordinary size.
mircea_popescu: heh. "But now all sorts of well-established, multiply confirmed findings have started to look increasingly uncertain. It's as if our facts were losing their truth: claims that have been enshrined in textbooks are suddenly unprovable. This phenomenon doesn't yet have an official name, but it's occurring across
a wide range of fields, from psychology to ecology."
mircea_popescu: "Finally, in every conflict, the ones you can win and the ones you can't, unless you really want to fight you must always give the other person
a saving-face way to back down. No one, especially nowadays, wants to walk away in shame, they'd rather die, or kill you. Angry Mom stupidly made this public, and so she has no way to back down unless you, as the more powerful person, the one with understanding, give her one
mircea_popescu: what the fuck, empowering the michael moore strategy, "you're
a fucking nobody trying to appear important and we're going to take you seriously!" ? fuck that shit.
mircea_popescu: "The first step is to make the other person feel important, that she has been heard. She's upset, so you assure her that you're going to take on her level of intensity to handle the situation, you will make it as much of
a priority for you as it obviously is for her"
mircea_popescu: "The only thing you're never supposed to do in psychiatry is offer an opinion without conducting
a full psychiatric examination, they're very emphatic about this, which is weird because half your grade on the psychiatric board exam comes from diagnosing
a guy in
a 10 minute video clip from 1977. (Academic dishonesty spoiler alert: he has OCD.) "
mircea_popescu: ltiple vaginas and they put your name on
a database. No more interstate travel for you."
mircea_popescu: "An observation: Sheen went publicly insane early last week. It wasn't until this Tuesday night, after Extra and Today started showing the goddesses, that the court ordered an extraction team to medivac his kids. He's had
a week of full on insanity, 20/20 had an entire crew in his house last Saturday, Radar was in there all day and no one felt obligated to rescue the children, but go on TV and publicly say you like mu
mircea_popescu: “But as
a feminist,
a writer, and
a gentlewoman of fortune, I refuse to be cast in any sort of boring supporting female role, even though I have occasional trouble crossing the road, and even though I did swoon the teeniest tiniest bit when I realized it was him. I think that’s lazy storytelling, and I’m sure Ryan Gosling would agree with me.”
mircea_popescu: Recently,
a rising Hollywood superstar saved
a young woman’s life from an oncoming cab in New York City. Most women would swoon over
a guy like this coming into contact with her let alone him being
a hero (
a real human being) to her. Instead, she revealed
a very telling thing about her nature
mircea_popescu: "Anyone on the outside should be able to see this for what it is:
a mafia style protection racket. Pay us. If you pay us, we will protect you from those who... don't pay us."
mircea_popescu: "Why are you hearing about this story, in this way: "oh my god, those bastards won't even cut
a break to
a poor black woman?" Because that story simultaneously delivers the government's message: "we don't squander taxpayer resources; we'll fight to protect every dime we can get." The symbiosis between media and politics: the media gets their readers, and the government gets their message relayed to the public. Ther
mircea_popescu: "I've started
a new site, Partial Objects, which is
a short form, high post frequency version of TLP, and I'm going to use TLP for longer posts." << gone, sadly.
mircea_popescu: if your "hindbrain" observably malfunctions you've been stupid, insistently, for
a long long time.
mircea_popescu: by the time your cd tray is moving in and out as if possessing
a life of its own, the "browser toolbars" are long past the bottom of the monitor.
mircea_popescu: you readily understand this if you think about hardware, which you aren't psychowired to nuttily defend. by the time the bearing audibly rumbles, the fucking software in that car has long been
a mess.
phf: interval to trag lag. if the lag is too high, i.e. pong is not returning after some interval, attempt
a reconnect
phf: trinque: adlai: tried cl-irc, turned off my wifi until the test nick was disconnected on freenode's end, and connectedp still returns T on the cl-irc end << cl-irc is
a thin layer on top of irc protocol, so connection state is something you have to handle yourself. connectedp simply queries underlying stream for whether it's still formally open. you have to setup mechanism (say
a separate thread) to send PING to the server at
a regular
BingoBoingo: "The problem is that the parents already know the sex. They can't unknow it. They aren't acting from no information, they are acting in reaction to the information. They are saying they are raising him gender neutral, but what they are actually doing, precisely, is choosing not to raise him as
a boy."
danielpbarron: the only church I attended was
a sort of basement thing at
a neighbor's house, and that was only for
a couple years in my mid 20s
danielpbarron: clicking around I found
a page on the role of women that isn't totally wrong, but it's in that same 90s style as the one you linked, whereas the root directory is some web 2.0 looking garbage, so I'm not sure if that's still their stance
mircea_popescu: in
a sentence such as "
a narrow burn cycle to keep moving the market".
phf: jurov: so
http://www.eulorum.org/OS_X produces
a working build, just not something you can upload as an archive, because the links between binaries rely on absolute paths. i think it's possible to go over all of them and replace absolute paths with relative paths using install_name_tool, but i haven't had
a chance to try it yet. (just finished moving to DC yesterday, so i've been busy)
mircea_popescu: mats you recall the discussion of the "poor tenants" and their proclivity to focus on
a single measure to be lied to ?
mats: i don't have
a reason i can table for scrutiny, just intuition -- there has been
a lot of great work done in recent past that makes it possible to substantially reduce attack surface of e.g. linux,
a monster weighing, what, 14mn loc now?
phf: asciilifeform: eulora/planeshift/crystalspace combination requires gcc 4.2 to build out of the box, gcc 4.2 is out of sync with current objective c ecosystem. one hacky way to fix the issue is to build objc files with clang and then link it against gcc produced parts. the approach was
a deadend, as any sane person would realize
mircea_popescu: No, I'm
a dummy. The purpose of universities is to suck up Stafford loan money. And the purpose of journals is to mark territory, more money in that, like
a corporation that spins off
a subsidiary. NO CROSS SCIENTIFIC DISCUSSION ALLOWED IN SCIENCE, EVER, EXCEPT IN SCIENCE, NATURE, AND THE POPULAR PRESS."
mircea_popescu: "Exactly. So you should have sent it to the physicists. You know, the ones who work
a building over in the same university that you do. That was the whole reason for universities, right?
