pete_dushenski: oh, i guess i also played 'words with friends' but that's really just scrabble, not much of a 'computer game'
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-10-2015#1293061 << been reading more about gaming marketing. stumbled across popcap games, which reminded me that once upon a time, more than a half-decade ago, i actually played an iOS game for a stretch : plants vs. zombies (tower defense game) ☝︎
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i still think there are thinking folks hidden deep in b-a. ~somebody~ is buying that cnc machinery. ☟︎
pete_dushenski: mpoe up 25% overnight. snazzy. hope a few of you caught a piece of the sale ;)

pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-10-2015#1292453 << and here i was imaging mp shmoozing with local intelligencia that he'd somehow attracted with a giant magnet from clear across the country, having his girls pour bubbly while the conversation drifted from how one tests for ~actual genuine bohemian glass~ to the best surgeon's stitch for a knife wound in the back to the best source for local huevos to ☝︎

cazalla: those little brown balls are dry and when broken up seem to spread in the air like a dandelion
cazalla: does anyone know what this is? finding many of them on the surface of the garden most mornings, thought i was going crazy at first as i removed a couple but they are popping up everywhere http://i.imgur.com/U5SSbtU.jpg
punkman: ascii_field: my only real quibble with the preview of this (or was it punkman's ??) 'v' shown a while back, is that it used interactive questions to user << yeah it can export the patch sequence and you can then press without interaction
mod6: ah, no this thing doesn't prompt at all. just command line flags. works a lot like your implementation. no caching, etc.
ascii_field: 'v' really needs to be a pure commandline thing

trinque: Given that the main problem of the country - to cope with different types of DDoS on the infrastructure due to the large number of users, different solutions are born. For example, the train has a separate toilet and separate washrooms. Excellent TRIZ principle - separation. << thinking about human DDOS... awesome.
BingoBoingo: Half a year in the life
gribble: artifexd was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 23 weeks, 5 days, 22 hours, 48 minutes, and 43 seconds ago: <artifexd> I'm comfortable calling it a review. Not just of what it is but what it was and how it got to where it is.
BingoBoingo: So malleability thing going now, excepting retards that do the 0-conf depend on txid... pretty much a mempool bloater ☟︎

mircea_popescu: <mircea_popescu> say Naphex, wouldn't you want to run a server for s.nsa too ? << ?
Naphex: performers have a goal system soon to be objective system they can set up
mircea_popescu: one expansion idea would be somnething like a mumble server. but integrated with xotika.
Naphex: but it sure as hell needs a lot more capacity
mircea_popescu: say Naphex, wouldn't you want to run a server for s.nsa too ?

mike_c: get a new trick ticker.
mircea_popescu: if a dude's aroused by stockings he's not a stockingay now, is he ?
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: this was a thing ?!!!
ascii_field: '"He is a recipient of the Free Software Award from the Free Software Foundation for his work on Secure Boot, UEFI, and the Linux kernel". Ah! All the bits that I *don't* want in the kernel. Did he work on systemd too?'

mircea_popescu: heck, bitcoin got a lot better once it cut itself off from the usgavin & freiends
mircea_popescu: dude get fucked, cutting b=a from the imbecillity has improved its ability to do work like 10x if not more.
mircea_popescu: oh. for a momenbt i thought it was the lord british garrett.

trinque: yeah, we've just got this fancy decentralized database and so everything looks like a nail
assbot: Logged on 07-01-2015 05:29:32; mircea_popescu: this harms because : it gives unknowns a weight they should not have ; it removes the incentive for users to police at their local level ; it allows third parties to construct undeniable chatlogs that they had no business in.
mircea_popescu: obviously the ustardian approach to things ("let's steal someshit!") will try and pretend like it's not so, to "build a business" out of it.
mircea_popescu: i might care what i rated x, or what you rated x. but the meaning of these ratings to a third party we don't know is necessarily 0.
mircea_popescu: trinque the major point s that wot is not actually generally available. just like trust is not a scalar,
assbot: Logged on 06-10-2015 05:28:10; trinque: perhaps this calls for a separate address per type of thing

punkman: so many lolz in bash, someone's gotta do a stand up show
mircea_popescu: wouldn't you think, if you decide in your late 40s to switch gears and open a wanna-be wine shop, that you pick up the fucking book of how to pack, do exercises in your garage, something ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field not like he didn't give me a receipt.
ascii_field: is leaded glass such a rarity today?
mircea_popescu: then he packed them. he packed ONE in about a cubic foot of corrugated cardboard, sat the other bare next to it. just like that, in the bag.
ascii_field: who needs to not-be-paid a bit
ascii_field: perhaps has a partner
mircea_popescu: 25%, fancy that. clearly visa is such a challenger for bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: i go in, i want to buy stuff, i select a decent half dozen. i get TWENTYFIVE OFF for paying cash.
mircea_popescu: dude this country... so there's a nice wine shop, trying you know, to be upscale.
ascii_field: 'Of course, being Americans, they have to prosecute this information war in the silliest way possible. First, you trot out your claims of civilian casualties before the Russians fly a single sortie. Oops! Then you stuff the social media with fake pictures of wounded children produced beforehand by performers in white helmets paid for by George Soros. And then, when asked for evidence, you refuse to provide any.' << l0lz
ascii_field: 'Undeterred by diplomacy, the US squeezed off a couple of cruise missiles in the general direction of Syria, but the Russians promptly shot them out of the sky, triggering a major rethink at the Pentagon and, of course, making the US look rather silly.' << i missed this?
ascii_field: 'The first bit of extreme silliness surfaced when Gen. Lloyd J. Austin III, the head of the United States Central Command, told a Senate panel that only a very small number of Syrian fighters trained by the United States remained in the fight—perhaps as few as five. The tab for training and equipping them was $500 million. That's $100 million per fighter, but that's OK, because it's all good as long as the militar
ascii_field: 1) i encrypt a message to ben_vulpes's pubkey 2) i send to him 3) hitler picks it up from the wire and throws it away 4) hitler encrypts substitute message to ben_vulpes's pubkey 5) he sends
ben_vulpes: ascii_field: if i'm responding to a message that was encrypted to my key, and demonstrate knowledge of the cleartext, does that not support unhitlerdom?
trinque: gives you a buffer of highlights
ascii_field: 'GPG throws a warning [3] that the message could have been modified, but other implementations do not differentiate between SE and SEIP.' << what 'other implementations' ? microshit crypto ?

asciilifeform: 'Swartz had grown moody and stopped showing up to work. At one point, after he wrote a blog post envisioning his own death, Ohanian called the police to break into his apartment. Swartz laughed it off. Meanwhile, publicly, he called himself one of Reddit’s cofounders, taking credit for an idea Huffman and Ohanian believed to be theirs alone. In January of 2007, he was fired. Six years later, he hanged himself while facing a
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i recently popped a crate with 4th ed. stroustrup. it was, to my surprise, proper lay-flat. but the pleasant surprise turned to ick when i saw that it, for no particular reason, had blue as well as black print, and a good fraction of the blue is smudged !
asciilifeform: the sad part is that there is no real reason why pod couldn't offer a decent cover
mike_c: ;;later tell pete_dushenski I don't see a discrepancy. It updates nightly with the wot database dumps. So probably he changed the rating and btcalpha hadn't picked up the change yet.
asciilifeform: this has been a thing for some years.
mircea_popescu: a) the printer can't use latex ; b) self published generally means, PoD and a sharky editor that fleeces the hopeful. this was actually printed on web press, so in this sense everything else printed hence is a lot more "self published" than asylum.
asciilifeform: but yes, a thinking man goes and latex
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-10-2015#1292608 << this was, iirc, tried (abolition of comments on american fishwrap sites) a few yrs ago, but abandoned because it is too pyongyang ☝︎
mircea_popescu: what, it's a corp.
asciilifeform: it still blows my mind that we're relying on a thing that sits on top of dns.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the reason this went by unobserved for ~20 hours is that a) internal mail still worked, obviousyl, and b) enom decently adds its record with priority 10. there's a bugfeature apparently where some relayers/dns servers prefer higher priority records even if older.
asciilifeform has a fat manually-typewritten stack of these 'militarizms' somewhere
asciilifeform: most of these extortionists have a 'purgatory'
mircea_popescu: they do however have a 27 day grace period on top of the 5 day grace period etc.
asciilifeform: this is also a psa/reminder that enemy may not read pgp message, but can substitute his own for yours! sign the material inside.
mircea_popescu: anyway, this is a psa/reminder that in point of fact there is ZERO security wrt email. i, or you, or anyone bored one evening can hijack a mx record, read all teh inbound mail etc.
punkman: right, and nobody has written a blog post about this so far, has been happening for years
