mircea_popescu: asciilifeform why not ? there's
a complaint, there'sd proof. what else.
mircea_popescu: so yes, we both see that this could readily be done, and we both see it's not done. i wonder in amazement, you posit

a bandit, with whom one can come to an understanding. he believes him to be
a robot, who must be feared. american law enforcers are able to, by pressing on the keyboard of
a multitude of laws and regulations, 'transmute' the most insignificant peccadillo into
a monstrous deed. FBI did not need to beat up Monica or toss into her purse heroin or am
ben_vulpes: nobody is doing anything of 'actual worth' and 'much' is such
a wishy-washy term that you can set the bar arbitrarily high.
pete_dushenski: "There are roughly 3 trillion trees on Earth — more than seven times the number previously estimated — according to
a tally1 by an international team of scientists." << moar upward revisionism, except this kind is more butthurt for climate doomsdayists
BingoBoingo: Not one big thing, but
a bunch of little things that are better recorded than not.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: I just got
a lot of momentum going these past couple days
pete_dushenski: i admit i've only met two of them,
a young couple at pre-natal class, perfectly pleasant really. he even wore
a tallit around his waist

a lot of work creating course lists for each school, doing that made students feel the site was their natural home."
shinohai: They are like undertakers reading morning obituaries, hoping to find
a failing economy to rescue.

phf: now that i verbalize it, it's totally
a programmer rabbit hole, probably should've just fixed my monitor..
phf: i've over optimized in the direction of making kindle work for me, but it is like looking through peephole. i solve the whole branching problem by relying on their notes feature: whatever you select on kindle gets saved to
a text file that gets copied into my notes during sync. correspondingly my article saving mechanism converts all links to title (url) form, so i can follow up when on desktop
mircea_popescu: anyway, as
a rule of thumb, the bluer

a living.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field: they happily send their sons to army so they can 'die for
a fat bitch's right to marry her dog' << wow. that, right there, is more valuable to orlov's employer than orlov's entire body of work to date. mebbe you get job offers nao.
☟︎ ascii_field: 'In the marble streets of Ashgabat, we soon grow
a bit tired and sweaty. In theory, we could rest
a bit inside one of the many bus stops, designed to be air-conditioned. The air-conditioning has stopped working, so instead they are now glass ovens where you can bake yourself. We decide to wait outside. ' << orc win !
mircea_popescu: the real problem here is that ... well... no rich people left. nobody to say "fuck you, either make this and you get one trillion, or i spend

a second arse.
mircea_popescu: all this "2d view of
a 3d world" shit is for the birds./

a >300 dpi screen on real computer
ascii_field: hence it is strictly for reading
a particular item.
mircea_popescu: and if you have to check out
a poem ? drop back to desktop ?>
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i use
a (very large) tablet thing to read djvu scans, and (occasionally) hyperlinkified therealbitcoin src. that's it.
mircea_popescu: when all is said and done, "the people themselves" do not want
a computer but
a tv set.
assbot: Logged on 03-09-2015 19:17:20; phf: i have
a hand rolled version of instapaper that takes html articles and adds them to
a periodic readinglist.mobi. same for b-
a logs. in fact i read most of the stuff on kindle, far away from
a real computer..
btcdrak: mike_c: autoupdate has been discussed
a lot in Core, and is absolutely out of the questions because of the security implications.
pete_dushenski: garzik re 'bip100' reddit convo : This is mostly pre-feedback, transcribing the discussion documentation into
a technical specification. The doc & spec & code will evolve from here, based on community feedback and testing."
kakobrekla: My nodes got hit with 25 GBit/sec. The university firewall handled it like
a pro, but I was forced to shut off my nodes. Due to the security implications (I guess DDoS attacks are
a security risk now?) I'll have to fight to get them back up again.
BingoBoingo: It's official, Obama like Kanye West loves fish sticks and is in fact
a gay fish.

a critical topic. I know of more than 100 firms that are trying to make the blockchain more scalable, more secure, to make the one that everybody will use. There’s

a nice guy and left the place.
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller: good digging, i suspected he might've been, but search for 'voorhees' on btcalpha drew up
a blank
ascii_field: jurov: i was never able to conceive of casares as anything other than
a 'wallet-inspector' sc4mz0r
jurov: i had
a bit heated discussion with him that it the wallet users don't own the privkeys, wtf is that all about
trinque: somebody could figure out
a way to do something interesting with that.
ascii_field: hasn't he revealed himself to be
a spammer piece of shit ?
jurov: i have met him personally in timisoara (and his trophy gf), did not look like
a good fit
phf: trinque: i don't have
a reference for that rednecks that i go snowboarding and sometimes hunting with are not very religious. they just say all the tv talking points, abortion, gays, liberal elite, etc.
kakobrekla: even got an item for 500e on one such obscure place, an item that surfaces on ebay once
a year and goes for 5k.
trinque: there's
a whole other world outside the cities, and its not all inbred
phf: trinque: tell your redneck to go to his church and say out loud that he beliefs that divorce is
a sin, that woman that initiates
a divorce can no be redeemed in the eyes of god, etc.
ascii_field: this is not because ebay is
a great thing, but because it has killed everything else remotely comparable.
kakobrekla: ascii_field i have found one in
a million things there that ebay could not provide.
phf: trinque: modern christian position on divorce, on
a role of
a woman in household, on
a role of man in household, on premarital sex, all sham. fundamentally there's no belief in the bible. no first world christian guy would even consider living according to bible in, say, muslim style. so what constitutes badassery? hunting from
a back of
a pickup, or "i was linebacker 30 years ago"?
☟︎ kakobrekla: but its most often taht you need to drive to pick it up as seller doesnt give
a shit to post it, even if you offer pay.
