mircea_popescu: so you know, if his product sucks tell him in such
a way that it doesn't come out you're better than him, and he won't think you were "being negative"
shinohai: I'd last about
a week before I burnt the place down.
mircea_popescu: on the minus side, if you can do it for
a year and not want to kill yourself every night, you'll know you're dumb. not even "not smart". outright dumb.
mats: well, if its any consolation, there's
a btc for your troubles when coinbr is up, i know you do
a lot of pro bono work around here
jurov: not just that, mpex added
a misfeature of randomly rejecting orders
shinohai: I'd like
a browser that doesn't break every time it updates every 3 days
punkman: when do we start making
a browser?
punkman: "According to the FAQ,
a total of 185 secret bugs leaked. Of those, Mozilla categorizes 53 as "severe vulnerabilities." The oldest of those went unpatched for 335 or more days"
assbot: Hackers spent at least
a year spying on Mozilla to discover Firefox security holes – and exploit them • The Register ... (

☟︎ pete_dushenski: i'm pretty sure there are even 20-25-30 ones about, which is lunacy on
a stick
punkman: you do
a good job, or maybe your ass looked good, or I just felt like it, you get
a tip
pete_dushenski: the kitchen always gets
a cut, so
a server might only see 3-4% of
a 10% tip, so she won't be too pleased
pete_dushenski: goddam socialists always trying to superimpose utopia and shove
a square peg in
a round hole
pete_dushenski: but in the united states of workerdignity, you can't leave
a tip. unless you do.
pete_dushenski: "The No. 1 complaint from customers? The prohibition on tips. So while the menu still states that prices include service, the credit card slips now have
a line that reads: “If you INSIST on leaving
a tip, write it here.”" << mkay this is the icing on the stupid cake. at least in japan, leaving
a tip is tantamount to slapping the server's mother with your flaccid cock.
pete_dushenski: "Here in Seattle, where the first stage of
a $15-an-hour minimum wage law took effect in April, Ivar’s seafood restaurants switched to an all-inclusive menu. By raising prices 21 percent and ending tipping, Bob C. Donegan, the president and co-owner, calculated he could increase everyone’s wages." << welcome to japan. i guess the pearl harbour invasion stuck after all.
mircea_popescu: the entire decapitation of gavin thing, with its attendant disbelief on the enemy side and misallocation of resources/misinvestment of assets in dead pockets was such
a major defeat for the usg, "the tikrit offensive"'s nothing compared.
funkenstein_: gotta run sorry, i need
a dozen like kakobrekla does - have
a good weekend y'all
mircea_popescu: but anyway, enough of this pestering guy into
a discussion of things he didn't particularly care to discuss.
mircea_popescu: dude if that's your criteria you've excluded
a supermajority
trinque: mircea_popescu: can vote however she likes; that's just
a different chick
mircea_popescu: what,
a woman can'tr vote for clinton if she wants to now ?!
trinque: nah that's
a different one
trinque leaves
a trail of productive women behind him
trinque: mircea_popescu: nah, she's got
a few screws loose and doesn't see fit to let me handle 'em with
a screwdriver
pete_dushenski: i still have
a y-3 hoodie and basketball jersey in my closet
pete_dushenski: y-3 was my favourite clothing brand, once upon
a time when i cared about such things. ideal collision of sportiness, haute fashion, japaneseness, and obscure brand cachet
trinque: funkenstein_: my point was that you are seeing value in people who could not defend themselves. seems to me that's
a prerequisite of being valuable in any other way.
punkman: mircea_popescu: punkman this approach is fundamentally at odds with the "lord over
a domain" concept of software development prevalent here. << myeah, last attempt didn't work out too well, and I'd rather make my yearly sysadmining allotment shrink than grow
trinque: anyhow, sounds like
a great idea; I will start hacking on it in spare cycles
assbot: You rated user trinque on 17-Oct-2014, with
a rating of 3, and supplied these additional notes: Nice work on the deedbot.
BingoBoingo: <trinque> yeah I'd just prefer the 10lb heroin happen on someone else's ass, til I move to the barge << Part of the point of
a WoT is keeping out people who's publically list such
a thing
mats: trinque: good support, used em
a decade ago to host ecommerce sites
trinque: yep, can be something like categories for particular deeds maybe, this being
a "buy/sell"
trinque: oh, it looks like they in fact do offer
a great deal of space
trinque: I've wanted to move deedbot- off that for
a while anyway
trinque: got
a recommendation for non-aws hosting?
trinque: yeah sounds great. WoT needs
a buy/sell board
trinque: so far it's
a single page; though this marketplace will likely call for
a db
assbot: Let's dig
a little deeper into this entire deflation "problem" on Trilema -
A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... (

mircea_popescu: trinque listen, would you consider creating
a special deed template, which if satisfied gets taken to amarketplace listing sort-of like otc ? searchable is the important part.
mircea_popescu: punkman this approach is fundamentally at odds with the "lord over
a domain" concept of software development prevalent here.
mircea_popescu: it's more work to be
a us strip club customer than to work there.
mircea_popescu: the notion that you'd take as much as 500 bucks to
a us strip club...
mircea_popescu: ag3nt_zer0 to my eyes this is more
a failure of western society than of whittaker himself.
ag3nt_zer0: "Jack Whittaker won $315 million and ten years later, his daughter and granddaughter had both died of drug overdoses, his wife divorced him, and once while in
a strip club, he was drugged and robbed of $545,000 in cash"
mircea_popescu: btw punkman would you be interested in implementing
a otc-marketplace clone ?
mircea_popescu: moreover, something like this might actually be
a perfect solution for my marketplace idea too. i wanna buy all sorts of things like 3d models etc.
punkman: mircea_popescu: orphaned is not the right word there, consider that if the last two patches in your V set create two branches, you can't choose
a branch. V will try to apply both and doesn't check filehashes during the patching process.
mircea_popescu: but more of
a fleamarket thing than an electronics supply shop thing
mircea_popescu: the one point nobody seems to have noticed re that : use mp style fonts (14 point bold) you won't have
a problem.
punkman: PSA: print your ascii-armored keys out. don't use
a xerox.
mircea_popescu is still raging over the db thing. who the fuck does this. who the fuck makes labels for items in
a database WITH THEIR OWN BAKED IN INDEXES!
anton_osika: antonosika has to sign
a document stating the location of delivery. He however involuntarily lost his hands. So he can't sign documents anymore.
mircea_popescu: these are the unfortunate results downstream of insufficient five year olds being raped to death and discarded in
a ditch.
mircea_popescu: and is not limited to the db. here, have
a magic number in code, because THAT IS WHAT CODE IS FOR!11
mircea_popescu: field1, field2 and who the fuck was responsible with raping these idiots as 5yo and discarding the bloodied remains in
a ditch did
a horrible job
mircea_popescu: BECAUSE IT IS
A RULE OF THE UNIVERSE THAT ALL THINGS HAVE 5 REPLIES!!1
mircea_popescu: these fucking idiots. so eulora is based on modifying work by others. those others have done the following thing : the dialogue of
a npc is contained in
a table. that table has fields. those fields are "reply 1" "reply 2" and so up to 5. why to 5 ?
anton_osika: Well I believe mircea_popescu would honor
a contract where the couterparty has no competition at identifying himself. It would be pleasant to extend the notion of trust to identity in the physical domain however.
anton_osika: My situation as of now is that there is nothing to strictly verify
a former fingerprint. However I am the unique holder of the name AntonOsika in Sweden, publicly registered with physical address, so you if you are passing by please find me and I would provide generous housing.
anton_osika: I do have ultimate respect for the WoT. Hence I want to have
a valid keypair for communicating with goodfellas here.
mircea_popescu: i'm
a perfectly illiterate chinese scholar, for that matter.
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu: if frithjof schuon is illiterate then I must be less than
a dog
mircea_popescu: anyway, fwiw, i don't readily see
a way to construct this "existentialism is fail because its idea of reality precludes itself" into meaningful criticism.
ag3nt_zer0: hmmm maybe I would do better to not post
a quote out of context
mircea_popescu: what this means in easily digestible terms among software people is that existentialism is
a class.
mircea_popescu: hey most intelligent person in japan, that were on tokyofashion thingee, drop
a line.
ag3nt_zer0: "
A patent example of the classic contradiction in question here—
a contradiction characterizing for the most part all modern thought—is provided by existentialism, which postulates
a definition of the world that is impossible if existentialism itself is possible. There are only two alternatives: either objective knowledge—
a knowledge that is therefore absolute in its own order—is possible, which proves that existen
andychase: I'm
a freelance software developer from Oregon
andychase: If that's true then great, I'd like to take that form of validation and put it into
a formal process that can be used for approving or rejecting changes to Bitcoin
andychase: I'd like to take that kind of system and move it up so
a community like this one can make their opinion validated as part of the process for improving bitcoin
andychase: I feel like we've gone
a bit off topic
a bit. I'd love to hear your opinions on
a system for reviewing and indicating full approval on changes to the Bitcoin protocol
andychase: yeah so in your case an upgrade would be replacing components, raising the satoshi client to
a higher standard
andychase: raise (something) to
a higher standard, in particular improve (equipment or machinery) by adding or replacing components.
andychase: @bingoboingo: The BIP66 change was easy to "fix", just upgrade your clients and make sure
a majority is upgrading before activating
mats: how about: sign an address with 145,830 coins and maybe you actually have
a stake
BingoBoingo: andychase: But the fix in BIP 66 was the least controversial thing in the world and it was
a very difficult change because Bitcoin is an actual consensus system.
