cazalla: i am hoping ethereum over takes litecoin in fake market cap just as its first halving occurs for extra lulz and butthurts
asciilifeform: but i don't expect to see the other end of the war in person, either.
asciilifeform: prolly just thinks 'i crapped this out and the grownups are so dumb! they love it'
asciilifeform: i'm not even convinced that mr b knows he's a shill
pete_dushenski: alas, an evening of spicy food beckons. i'm outtie. laters !
asciilifeform: i bet his cock ring is worth more than a container of pogo.
pete_dushenski: i dun see vb buying stacks of pogos
asciilifeform: for one thing, i'm not aware of him working for a living
mircea_popescu: but i mean he got hair i don't, i got beard he doesn't ?
mircea_popescu: wait, i thought it was the beard.
mircea_popescu: and how i wish for a successful husband.
pete_dushenski: "if i suck and can't have love and children and a successful husband, than neither can you !"
mircea_popescu: there's a lot of things of which i can't really name anything but hey, a lot of vague vulnerabilities are better than one specifically.
mircea_popescu: i heard this said emptily by a large number of derps, so it must be so.
asciilifeform: best comment: 'I respect him, but he sounds like a mumbling moron.'
mircea_popescu: well i mean, teh women didn't elect metro something as the avenue for de-barren-isation did they
mircea_popescu: ya but i mean... not like they voted for it.
pete_dushenski: http://qntra.net/2015/08/montreal-expo-postponed-for-lack-of-sponsors/#comment-41274 << i enjoyed this. a quick googling of 'coin4x' yields a highly active localbitcoins trader, though the '650' area code would indicate california, not quebec, so perhaps a different fella
pete_dushenski: i wanna say 'whatever. enjoy being 35 and barren. y'all get what y'all deserve.' but perhaps that's unfair
trinque: jurov: I still can't change my settings on the ML. when I save them, it kicks me back to the password screen, then back to config from there, where it has the previous values
trinque: damn cool; I'll take a crack at it too.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> ben_vulpes, mod6, mircea_popescu, et al: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2015-August/000146.html << cool! i'll take a closer look at this tonight.
asciilifeform: i also did not preserve the dates in the original patches
asciilifeform: and i will repeat that the output of this, is not at this exact moment very useful. the antecedent hashes are eaten by 'v'
asciilifeform: i in particular will feel more cheerful once some patient fella actually reproduces the exact thing i did here, using vdiff.sh
gernika: I bet she'll forgive your student loan debt ... in exchange for your passport.
jurov: what auction? i was elsewhere and missed all eulora stuff
mircea_popescu: i was promised plowing with chickens
BingoBoingo: I've been to Superman's hometown though. They got a Casino a few years ago. Other than that like Cairo (pronounced Kay-roh) Das racis and the drop in steamboat traffic chased relevance away.
BingoBoingo: <trinque> I don't think baseball has been the american "thing" for a generator or more << Well "Latin American" thing still
BingoBoingo: <ascii_field> (never, oddly enough, baseball. which i grew up thinking of as ~the~ american sport) << Baseball fell out of favor with the public around the same time as Boxing and Handegg was in a lucky position to replace both. "Civilized" alternative to boxing "Exciting" alternative to baseball "Opportunity" for the oppressed youths.
trinque: I ain't mad
trinque: I suppose yes, that'd be a male thing
trinque: fucks sake, I love driving
trinque: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/aug/14/apple-self-driving-car-project-titan-sooner-than-expected << what backwards mind desires *less* agency, I ask
ascii_field: kakobrekla: i mean, the gsm freq part
phf: hmm, ok i see your point, far the fuck out as it is
mircea_popescu: (there's a black girl in the french film i mentioned above - nobody cared. "wow seriously ?!" yes seriously, the french had chocolat before the usians had chocolate.
phf: oh, i know, i didn't realize there was even such a thing until i came to the states
mircea_popescu: general indication seems to be that he didn't care for the result either. that "apres moi le deluge" is very similar to socrates' "i have nothing to offer nor do i wish to offer anything in fine."
mircea_popescu: but the people whio did care thought - and i think today - it was worth a shot.
phf: oh i see
mircea_popescu: but the problem comes back again and again to what i told pete d that day we were discussing "systems" : you can not afford to insult the powerful.
mircea_popescu: i very much doubt the man was motivated by greed, or at all comprehensible in the terms of the bourgeoisie.
trinque: I dunno if that's an aristocratic kid if that's the full picture
phf: i don't think an aristocratic kid has to scream to get what they want, a baseline of ability is always present and taken for granted, in that sense a reddit sjw is not much different from the wealthy version of the same
mircea_popescu: on the plus side, i'm here, you can try various sticks.
phf: mircea_popescu: i don't have a defendable position, i'm not sure i fully understand your "degenerate kids" comment, because it seems like a huge write off.
mircea_popescu: as i observed to a friend recently - if everything worked i wouldn't even care to have a name.
mircea_popescu: for all i care they, whosoever "they" is , can fix everything tomorrow and i'll be fine with it.
mircea_popescu: ght when i derride wikipedia to "Stay in power" ?
mircea_popescu: in any case i would point out that "remaining in power" is not only the terminology of "the enemy" (which, here, means "of the idiots"), but actually meaningless. remain in power ? do we toil towards a bitcoind that can be used to what, "Remain in power" ? do i object to the amorphousness of words when i point out what definitions really are and why definitions must exist, do i object to the amorphousness of pseud-thou
phf: horses and servants are habitual behaviors, and i've seen it exist entirely in disconnect with the life outlook ("hypocrisy" often came to mind)
ascii_field: trinque: i grew up in a kind of time warp
trinque: I don't think baseball has been the american "thing" for a generator or more
gernika: ascii_field so do something like bitcoind dumpblock i | bitcoind -datadir=somewhereelse eatblock i?
gernika: mod6 didn't realize 0.5.3 didn't have -reindex, so attempted a reindex with old .dat files (backed up blkindex.dat and last blk*.dat) - so I think I'm just syncing from scratch at this point. Not sure how useful my log would be at this point.
ascii_field: 'Naturally all the documentation is keep secret, but a quick Google search would reveal that one can't simultaneously work at place x, and give lectures at place y, while x and y are hours of travel away. But again the people who control the grant money only check the paperwork they are provided. Is there a bogus employment contract in my name? I don't know but I have reasons to believe so.'
assbot: Grant fraud, should I bust my PhD advisor? - Academia Stack Exchange ... ( http://bit.ly/1NgedlB )
ascii_field: http://academia.stackexchange.com/questions/51305/grant-fraud-should-i-bust-my-phd-advisor << lulzy
ascii_field: (never, oddly enough, baseball. which i grew up thinking of as ~the~ american sport)
ascii_field: a few others i can't recall now.
mod6: <+gernika> mod6: bastard blocks for roughly 10 hours now. Perhaps I corrupted my db? << hmm. not sure? are you getting errors as opposed to just bastard blocks? maybe post last 250 lines of your debug.log and we can have a look.
mircea_popescu: and it is why i pointed out orlov's failure in the elephant story.
mircea_popescu: i don't think this is at all controversial. the degenerate children of a lost aristocracy are the primary fuel of the imbecillity of revolution.
mircea_popescu: into which you ran, like i have, by trying to translate a certain russian word ?
phf: old horses, dying children, gratuitous cruelty, it's like i'm back in my highschool lit class
mircea_popescu: but the difference is deeply, fundamnetally palpable. i did recently "curs de langue et de civilisation europeene", by screening le gendarme et les gendarmettes (funes) and la liceale - al mare con amica de papa.
ascii_field: i'd imagine it was in the curriculum because 'see how they lived in pre-soviet era'
chetty: I actually dont even recall the story, just the name, and that after I read it I wouldnt read hca again for years
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i dun have the patience for animated full length features. but i did like the ... shit, what was it called. the one where the guy breaks in and murders a buncha women. one of them confronts him, in perhaps the best scene of japanese cinema
mircea_popescu: romania has (actually - had. i published a post asking for his death and he died three days later) one too, adrian paunescu.
ascii_field: (i had the complete worx)
mircea_popescu: heck, i recently discovered the "northern system's" principal children's writer (hc andersen) is not know to teh northern ppls.
ascii_field: i bet mircea_popescu would love 'grave of the fireflies'
mircea_popescu: chetty incidentally, i agree it was heroic.
ascii_field: i call it the gödel diet.
mike_c: It was something. I kinda assumed she's killing herself at the end.
chetty: mike_c: goddamn mircea, that was depressing// I thought it was heroic
gernika: mod6: bastard blocks for roughly 10 hours now. Perhaps I corrupted my db?
assbot: Logged on 14-08-2015 06:16:49; assbot: Logged on 13-08-2015 20:43:18; mats: wish i had that skill. would be useful for conversions between base16, base10, base8, base2 conversions when doing low level computering
punkman: cazalla: what you think I'm gonna watch that thing, title is enough
assbot: The Angels - Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again, Live In Melbourne 1979 - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1IQsCQ5 )
punkman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-avhR0Vohg I lol'd
punkman: "Obviously it would be better for you both if you could discuss this openly: she would rather not waste time if she won’t get hired, and you would rather not reject your top candidate. Unfortunately, I don’t think you should assume that you can safely discuss this. If you decline to hire someone after finding out that they have a covered disability, you may expose yourself to a lawsuit."
cazalla: i thought you could sack at will in america?
BingoBoingo: I mean at some point you'll have to throw hm to the wolves for a bit lest the wolves find him anyways
BingoBoingo: I though you had to send them to the wolve for a couple years to toughen them up a bit, but maybe save that for later
cazalla: i just don't think i could toss him to the wolves in the public school system
BingoBoingo: I'm just going off the stereotype of that being where people who've ever been punched emerged from like in that SNL skit
assbot: Logged on 14-08-2015 06:02:18; BingoBoingo: I don't even think the asciilifeform phillipino theory can explain this one. USG must be farming out spam to Montessori schools nao.
punkman: I dunno how a "tiny" supermarket has overnight sales of 1 million
punkman: "To give you an idea of how desperate a retailer has to be to close overnight, the tiny supermarket where I work, which is about half the size of a Wal-Mart’s food section, lost 1 million dollars per year when it closed down overnight in 2009. "
cazalla: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=0e5_1439474009 happy chinese new year!
cazalla: i'm not so sure shame works anymore, these people are without shame
cazalla: i thought that was a bit of a no no?
trinque: https://i.imgur.com/huGAiKB.jpg << nothing at all wrong with the left
trinque: how does one pretend with his dick, may I ask
shinohai: I dunno cazalla if u squint your eyes and pretend she is the girl on the right ...\
cazalla: needs a few beers.. which i have being friday and all
