nubbins`: <+mats> because every technical person i have ever met with this attitude has turned out to know a lot less than they believe they did <<< those who think they know X have those who know X outnumbered hundreds of millions to one
mircea_popescu: and i do mean this no. prolly met more mothers than you met reverse engineers, too.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, the reverse case can also be made. no mother i ever met was actually aware how shitty her offspring was.
mats: because every technical person i have ever met with this attitude has turned out to know a lot less than they believe they did
mats: and here is why: i don't think its possible to be a good reverse engineer when you approach odd design choices with contempt rather than curiousity.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the root is, i suppose, the unwarranted expectation that choice predates existence, and that it necessarily is (not even by god's grace or anything, but immediately) accessible to "thinking people" which the subject will always see himself as. consequently, given that choice predates existence, and given that it is necessarily accessible, it then follows that one may only be informed by things one approves of.
mircea_popescu: well, the role of b-a in most people's lives at this point is i suppose this critical if at times forcible examination of mental habits and automatisms they hold dear unexamidely.
nubbins`: i don't have w/e paperwork is required to purchase guns or ammo
mircea_popescu: i imagined so.
ascii_field: this is the kind of field i refer to as 'of entomological interest'
mircea_popescu: as best i can discern atm, a curiosity steeped in burning hate is by far the best approach when dealing with maggot swamps.
mircea_popescu: moreover, and more importantly, other than the "palatable" part, which is entirely your own aesthetic judgement, i'd like some substantiation as to the "nobody gains" part. how do you know this ?
assbot: Box I found in my apartment - Album on Imgur ... ( http://bit.ly/1HSptOs )
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i suppose when you quit using that thing and post the src, i will be able to tell you why !
mircea_popescu: ascii_field good. i still can't get my nodes to eat the block in question.
gribble: I have not seen gavinandressen.
mod6: <+jurov> daniel dutifully declared "Business" as NO SUCH LABS, i grinned all the way back << :>
gribble: I have not seen gavinanderssen.
diametric: i explicitly use it to save pms, and it fails at it.
thestringpuller: but i'll email you as soon as I get to my home machine. probably will boot it up tonight instead of reading comics.
assbot: Logged on 16-07-2015 11:56:10; fluffypony: I tore into that moron on Twitter for that, and that's what led to me being banned from attending in future
danielpbarron: i did, yes
jurov: daniel dutifully declared "Business" as NO SUCH LABS, i grinned all the way back
thestringpuller: I found that during the "spam attack" my node was using almost 90% of it's upstream bandwidth relaying transactions.
danielpbarron: all i care is, do other 0.5.3.1 nodes like me? ok good.
danielpbarron: hah like i care what non foundation nodes do
thestringpuller: Also I thought if your mempool doesn't match another node's that node will isolate you.
danielpbarron: i don't know enough to answer that, but i doubt it's bandwidth
danielpbarron: i think much of the issue is solved with BingoBoingo's patch that lets 0.5.3 bitcoin.conf have a line defining the minimum tx fee for relaying
thestringpuller: That was happening on my full node too so I had to shut it down.
danielpbarron: i don't think it can fully sync anymore as-is without direct connect to a "blessed" node
ben_vulpes: especially if i can get multi-box access to the data store
asciilifeform: it claims to work with pg, but i was never able to achieve this
ben_vulpes: (i can see why a bdb impl would need it)
asciilifeform: (the only public example i know of)
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i was nattering to trinque that i wanted a pure lisp database just last night. "here are some CLOS thingers: return me the ones of interest"
asciilifeform: it almost succeeds at shooting the very concept of db in the head ('i will do whatever i want to this data structure, and it will still be there if machine resets, without my having mutilated it in any way to make this possible')
fluffypony: I tore into that moron on Twitter for that, and that's what led to me being banned from attending in future ☟︎
nubbins`: sort of like how i imagine florida, complete w/ meth heads
mircea_popescu: i don't see that it'd make enough to pay for the servers.
cazalla: not sure i've even come across samoan/poly/maori women in porn before
mircea_popescu: i have, actually. positively lithe
punkman: I'm wondering how they'll limit outgoing transactions if/when banks reopen
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> i don't seriously imagine that anybody gives a fuck between the 99th and 100th million. << zeroth to first though...
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-07-2015#1203012 << i suppose, but...the waste is still shortsighted. ☝︎
trinque: cool, I'll let you know what I think of them.
gabriel_laddel: ftr, I think the 3 canonical CL books are CLtL2, Keene and Art of the MOP
mircea_popescu: i think they muyst have meanwhile figured out the "less head more butt meat, stupid!" design principle.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suspect that once you bugspray the 19yo. pork, a craftsmanship sort of profession would tend to.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: now that I think about it, you mentioned it in one of the few articles discussing your budding romance with Ar.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: I've not read that one.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: missing a fuckton of things, but i was not the one who made the list
asciilifeform: i suppose this is when i point out that symbolics co. employed a surprising (to modern reader) number of gurlz
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: hrm. I don't remember that one, but now that I think about it, there is a comment you made on a nonsense article ~"MP took a delivery of some potent smokables?".
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: i think there was a fourth where he appreciated hand-blown light bulbs. but under the influence of what, precisely - was not specified.
assbot: Logged on 16-07-2015 04:44:59; cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-07-2015#1203082 <<< and i recall some coke and blood pressure 200/150 talk or something lol
trinque: gabriel_laddel: who says I'm "targeting" still
trinque: double latte is as far as I go into that territory these days
assbot: Logged on 16-07-2015 02:19:08; asciilifeform: i distinctly recall mircea_popescu having fessed up to 'do'
cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-07-2015#1203082 <<< and i recall some coke and blood pressure 200/150 talk or something lol ☝︎☟︎
trinque: however I can see a use for CLIM on the backend
asciilifeform: aaaand i think we might be ph0rk3d again just now.
assbot: Logged on 15-07-2015 06:54:13; trinque: I still don't see how I'd use CLOS like I use view composition in the db
assbot: Things I Want in Common Lisp « Symbo1ics Ideas ... ( http://bit.ly/1K974Ua )
decimation: asciilifeform: I see the wisdom in writing bitcoin in ada strictly to attract the kinds of programmers we actually want
decimation: I can see the elegance of the stack-based design
decimation: I've been reading that 'thinking forth' book, it's rather enjoyable

decimation: how did greenspun put it: http://philip.greenspun.com/materialism/early-retirement/investing " Note that Harvard's total is 105 percent because of leverage, i.e., situations in which they've borrowed money to purchase investments. Conspicuously absent from these portfolios are heavy investments in American companies run by Harvard and Yale graduates. "Domestic Equity" are publicly traded stocks such as GE and Microsoft.

gernika: mircea_popescu Aha no the Chinese thing was a test of my appearance via a photo, which I passed.
decimation: mircea_popescu: possibly, I'll have to look into it.
mircea_popescu: gernika sorry for some reason i thought it was china.
mircea_popescu: decimation i would expect you can get certs for your fund participation. you don't own what they own, just a piece of them.
gernika: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-07-2015#1203093 << didn't fail any tests, just didn't take any. I happened to have roommates that smoked pot every day, and for the brief period I lived with them, I partook. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: (yes they'll ship you the certs if you so wish, and aren't one of the reddit "but i expect everyything for free" consumer crowd)
decimation: well, when I give the broker money for a stock or fund, what am I buying?
mircea_popescu: i think i even have unissued ones from old corps in storage somewhere as well.
mircea_popescu: i had a pile.
mircea_popescu: i'd rather read orlov's daughter from a marriage with yarvin consumated on one of their leaky carriers they have.
mircea_popescu: anyway. i still can't fucking stand that wamy fellow, nothing's changed in a decade.
decimation: ^ I conclude that the high rent firms who run the hft bots are just as clueless as spv miners
trinque: I assume this box is no more owned than the lenovo laptop I'm fiddling with it from
asciilifeform: (i forget why you wanted'em)
trinque: asciilifeform: yeah I'll still dd the thing somewhere
trixisowned: nah i havent sorry
mircea_popescu: or what am i missing here.
trixisowned: [22:55:27] <mircea_popescu> and i have heard "something", just nothing particularly substantial.
asciilifeform: (i'm still able to read the msg on therealbitcoin.org)
mircea_popescu: i guess that's a point
mircea_popescu: i just don't happen to care for it.
mircea_popescu: ftr, it's not like i'm on some sort of war on drugs mission or anything. i can appreciate good cocaine just as i can appreciate good steak, i've a refined palate etc.
mircea_popescu: i guess it is.
mircea_popescu: so it is. and i say so on the basis of dragging twice off a chick's joint.
mircea_popescu: i don't even drink a notable amount of coffee fer crissakes.
mircea_popescu: honestly i have a lot of trouble distinguishing this "law enforcement" push from "hiring spree"

mircea_popescu: sometimes i think i'm the last dude left that doesn't do drugs.
assbot: Logged on 16-07-2015 00:06:22; mthreat: looks like most of them specify height, for males too. But I've seen some specify bust/waist/ass measurements
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-07-2015#1202873 << this i count in favour of the chinese. ☝︎
