mircea_popescu: if so inclined, i could just set a box too old to be bitcoin node to generate and register gpg sigs
asciilifeform: key set really ought to be a thing synced once a year at mircea_popescuconf
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: consider, for instance, that there is nothing whatsoever preventing a galactic spam flood
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm not wholly convinced that 'key server' is a right thing at all.

assbot: Searching pgp.mit.edu for key with fingerprint: 4A0363951AFA090B6C221787E2F23DB84A63EC22. This may take a few moments.
assbot: That does not seem to be a valid fingerprint.
asciilifeform: it is possible in principle to write a provably-correct implementation of a subset of rfc4880, but the result is still horrendously ugly.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform making a key server for a basically defunct implementation of pgp not really much of a priority
asciilifeform: weren't there gonna be a skstron for #b-a ?
mircea_popescu: <punkman> would make sense for assbot to grab dpasted keys like deedbot did << word. the shitserver dependency is turning out to be a pain. for kakobrekla konsideration.
assbot: Please To PGP (Guide for Linux, OS X, Windows) | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... ( http://bit.ly/1OvuPYi )
cazalla: BingoBoingo, sorta sad in a way but there aren't many abos left, all the drunks and petrol sniffers are at best half-caste
phf: punkman: clearly russia, and from what i hear it's still a common practice. taught me to always carefully observe the weighing. i also have a 100g weight that i sometimes bring with me, in istanbul at spice bazaar for example i ran into much disagreement about standards and measures. a less conspicuous trick is to weigh a litre of milk, or somesuch
BingoBoingo: cazalla: Also it isn't really dad-bod if you are actually a dad
BingoBoingo: "Incontinence of bowel and bladder in obese patients is a common cause of perineal dermatitis which can increase tissue friability and place patients at higher risk for skin breakdown."

punkman: "My gf don't know this but everytime we fuck I put $1 in a jar & thats how much imma spend on her for her bday. So far she gettin a mcchicken"
mircea_popescu: "i wouldn't dare take a free abortion, but who knwos what evil paid fuck-professionals may do!!"
BingoBoingo: <mike_c> BingoBoingo: i don't know about safety net, we couldn't even protect altcoin << Altcoin had to die for our sins of believing in a monetized testnet for a few months
asciilifeform: it is not enough to 'have miner', you need to control a sizable ~fraction of planetary hash~
asciilifeform: enemy only needs to supply a temporary burst to kill you.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: only if you regularly add units to keep up with diff << Then get four. You'll get at least 1 conf a month for a year
mircea_popescu: the case for owning one : you can in general expect your own tx to confirm in a month, n omatter what.
gribble: The average time to generate a block at 110000000.0 Mhps, given difficulty of 59335351233.9, is 3 weeks, 5 days, 19 hours, 33 minutes, and 13 seconds
mircea_popescu: there is such a thing as strategic mining.
asciilifeform: a (former) colleague of mine bought something quite like this, at the time i had access to a cabinet with 'free' mains current, let him plug it in. it blew out the breakers.
mike_c: get your hands dirty a bit
mike_c: mining is a good way to learn though
phf: it's a coop with whole foods prices, they have a truly weird selection of cashiers, working there for a discount. i'd say trader joes has prettiest cashiers here, but that's a far away truck just to talk to some hipster girls. might as well go to a bar
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I spent a dollar for lunch yesterday at taco bell, I may be such an imbicel
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: it is every bit the archetypical example of a sucker's game.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: outside of a few odd exceptions which you and i will never meet, mining is of interest strictly to borderline imbeciles
cazalla: because sounds like a good opportunity to invite her over for a proper meal
BingoBoingo: HFCS wouldn't even be a big issue if it wasn't for the fact that fructuse doesn't respond to insulin
phf: just went to groceries, spent about $200 for ~maybe~ two weeks worth of food (chicken for just a couple of days and fruits for 3 days since it'll go bad), cashier kept asking questions "wow that's a lot of food! how many people? is this for a month? etc."
asciilifeform: a $1 bag of chips can easily go over 1000.
asciilifeform: many do not even have access to something normal person would recognize as a kitchen.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> how the fuck do you price this shit now ? << same way sub saharan africans can buy anti-malarials that before gouging cost $13.50 a pop in USia
asciilifeform: i.e. the victi^H^H^H^Hchum^H^H^customers are typically folks to whom ~preparing a meal~ is a foreign concept
BingoBoingo: Now "Taco Bell" has a new flagship item selling for ~1 dollar/400 calories mostly textured soy protein, corn flour, and other corn
mircea_popescu: The Demise of the High Fructose Corn Syrup Futures Contract: A Case Study
mircea_popescu: looks to me a suspiciously like spraypainted soy
BingoBoingo: In a McDonalds burger most calories come from the bun and its added sugar
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> it staves off caloric starvation, but just about everyone who makes a habit of these 'meals' suffers from one or more kinds of malnutrition. << Yhis
asciilifeform: it staves off caloric starvation, but just about everyone who makes a habit of these 'meals' suffers from one or more kinds of malnutrition.
mircea_popescu: srsly, a complete meal out of $3 ? no wonder inflation figures are down.
asciilifeform: there is a good reason why the traditional stereotype in usa is that 'poor' goes with 'fat'
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> dude... a girl that weighs what 5 weigh costs what 10 cost. << Ah, if girl can pregnancy.
mircea_popescu: dude... a girl that weighs what 5 weigh costs what 10 cost.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i would expect that probably changed. << Only really changed in healthcare and only in a way that ascii must eat shoes for a year to be lumpen
asciilifeform: recall tlp's piece re: how a history of normal employment is more or less a kiss of death in consideration for 'disability' pension
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: by the time it is 'for me', it will consist of a complimentary cyanide
mircea_popescu: the last "normal american" that had any value left in him was ambushed on a highway cca 2003.
asciilifeform: e.g., if you had title to a house, it is to be sold
mircea_popescu: or, to quote an anonymous derp, "are we comfortable with regulation introduced by a guy named bob ?"
mircea_popescu: and this is the main problem here : for ~20 years, the president was a sort of priviledged class, allowed to burn pieces off the country.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> often enough, 'insurer' (misnomer, these are not insurance co. in the traditional sense) will find a way to avoid paying << This many times "insurer" is or was payment handler for actual business's healthcare claims
mircea_popescu: as a result, they'll be billed for a few millions, and react to it, gouging insurance prices by a few billion in a half decade.
asciilifeform: often enough, 'insurer' (misnomer, these are not insurance co. in the traditional sense) will find a way to avoid paying
mircea_popescu: understand the evil of a 3 party system. the user has no say. the doctor decides if it's needed or not, doesn't care about the cost.
asciilifeform: cazalla: 'buy' is a flexible concept in usa. if you have 'health insurance', it gets milked out to its theoretical maximum, and then you pay (if you have lines of credit, will max'em out naturally)
mircea_popescu: granted it's a very difficult task because the issue is medicine (which is wordy by default) and the proposed jump somewhat distant.
cazalla: do americans actually pay such prices or is it simply a case where end user pays $8.80 (as we do here) and the goverment/tax payer is fucked for the rest of it?
asciilifeform wishes there existed some other typesafe, statically typed language usable on a microcontroller
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform is that in a good way ? like, licking it on a cone ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Prolly 10 oz or so. Less than a steak but more than the average dick.
mircea_popescu: "bar of silver" and big somehow don't go together. what's silver, like a pizza an ounce ?
BingoBoingo: I think him or someone with a similar name tried to sell a big bar-o-silver for LTC
mircea_popescu: i dun recall him ever running a "business"
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> is the guy even here ? << My vague recollection is back in the day he wasn't an MPOE-PR fan. Usagi critic sure but though MPOE was just a differnet evil. Then again I am drunk early and memory flawed.
shinohai: I've never seen him, but I found it pretty nifty he mentioned #b-a
mircea_popescu: For very good reasons, XT got #REKT, and all the pretentious undergraduate Marxist pomo jargon in the universe won't help it be anything but a colossal failure."
mircea_popescu: Oh right, the 1MB cap is exactly like slavery days. Got it. That's not offensive at all. And neither are your first world armchair claims of resistance against censorship. You and your exorbitantly privileged critique of theymos' moderation wouldn't last a day in China, where real censorship exists.
mircea_popescu: To the proposal of "XT?" the community overwhelmingly responded "NACK" (cite: xtnodes.com). So regardless of your fact-free preference-tailored extreme minority opinion, the debate is over, and was won on inherency take-outs + presumption (not to mention solvency and the a priori 'FUCK HEARN AND THE CORE DEV HE RODE IN ON' deontological imperative).
mod6: The National Razor had a better ring to it.
mod6: well, arguably there are a variety of classes involved there. but you can make that happen with just the standard development kit, no special imports of packages are required.
mod6: including that there is no actual way to have an else case for a for loop in perl. lol.
mod6: walking my way through alf's toposort taught me a few things though.
mod6: so maybe someday, we'll have the gherkin with a python backend.
mod6: oh, and I was gonna add a bunch of cucumber tests to exercise the V code to ensure correctness. haven't even started that part yet.
mod6: I also am considering adding a "pull" or "sync" method. something to check your local vpatches against whats available at the foundation.
BingoBoingo: Seriously though why would a train carrying coal move through the area around St Louis from WEST to East?
BingoBoingo: Not the weirdest thing though. The weirdest thing was seeing a train full of open top coal cars going through town from WEST to EAST
BingoBoingo: Weird, I was smoking out front and saw a camaro with the license plate "For USD" or maybe "For USO"
shinohai: Nah I am experimenting with an arm build and deleted the folder myself, forgot to add them back like a genius.
assbot: Logged on 23-09-2015 20:26:20; wywialm: i'll be going, thanks pete_dushenski for a nice (even if boring to the audience) discussion
pete_dushenski: “A nickel ain’t worth a dime anymore.”
pete_dushenski: “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.”
pete_dushenski: Yogi Berra, a Hall of Fame catcher for the New York Yankees whose mangled syntax made him one of the sports world's most beloved and frequently quoted figures, has died at the age of 90."
shinohai: https://i.imgur.com/5bhh4j1.jpg <<< make me a sandwich
mircea_popescu: this is actually a valid question to ask the muppets. "name a venture roger ver was associated with to any degree that didn't fail".
ascii_field: even one a single node taken separately.
ascii_field: BingoBoingo: gossipd is a computationally very lightweight thing, and also does not suffer from network effect
BingoBoingo: pogo may end up better suited to simpler #b-a services that emerge than serving bitcoin proper
ascii_field: BingoBoingo: we don't have anything remotely close to a pogo-capable bitcoind.
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Would likely require a deturded p2pool with a gossip sort of "pool with people I don't think are shitheads" Wot mechanism
