mircea_popescu: it's
a fine way for kittens to learn to mouse, and for young pioneers to learn to solder.
phf: mircea_popescu: i think the idea was imprinted on me through soviet imagery still, of
a young pioneer politely and carefully observing an older pioneer performing some tricky task, soldering say. the implication was "this old person, knows better, so shut the fuck up and learn"
mircea_popescu: "On older terminals, the underscore code is displayed as
a left arrow, called backarrow, the caret is displayed as an up-arrow and the vertical bar has
a hole in the middle."
mircea_popescu: what has happened however was
a shear (ie, kill the middle). there is no point in carnation lower class men should be engaging in this sport, that's not in any sense their place. not like
a random blue collar derp can, through no matter how liberal application of port and tavern-debate, become an engineer.
phf: james lafond incidentally wrote how old time pubs were places were men could run wild boasts by the others and get called out or not, and that this form of conversation has been lost. seems to me in "consensus" places there's always some fuck ready to butt in into any point, just to make
a counterpoint, that it's inconceivable for redditards that there's
a dozen reading and thinking without running their mouths
mircea_popescu: who figures "hey, i'll write
a tool, and if it does different things for different people - all the better!"
trinque: one too many, I'm on
a permanent trip
mircea_popescu: What strikes me in all these IRC convos involving butters is that they are not talking. This is not
a conversation. They say shit past each other. No one listens, no one responds, they're just on some dumbass tirade for no purpose."
mircea_popescu: and, for
a lol, penis size and social structured-ness are ALSO inversely correlated. which is why azns have the tiniest, and africans the biggest.
mircea_popescu: (the fact that you can talk to
a mated female, on top of all the other strategies to get her to fuck outside her pair, changes everything.
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2014 21:25:42; mircea_popescu:
A CS student named Lin had
a prick the size of
a pin. It was no good for girls but just great for squirrels, they squealed with delight with it in.
kakobrekla: you can will
a small enough gear prolly.
trinque: more like
a death rattle maybe?
mircea_popescu: "I'd say he has completely lost the plot at this stage. He was calling bitcoinXT an altcoin long before it was even suggested. I can't imagine what's going through his mind right now given that I could imagine the completely fucked up shit that was happening before." << if anyone has
a reddit to english translation service, please help.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it'd seem the fact that rape doesn't work in nature liek reddit wants it to is becoming
a much bigger problem reddit has with mp than merely the fact that money doesn't work in nature like reddit wants it to.
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu yeah not sure about her intentions... my first inclination was just to think she was an idiot but on second thought that thought is
a bit idiotic
mircea_popescu: hard to say exactly. and im too disinterested to go on
a orwell bio kick.
mircea_popescu: "
A group of fat-shaming gamers " << how does that work ?
mircea_popescu: i'm
a degenerate gambler because us libertard can't stomach monkey rape. wtf already.
jurov: i, in turn, supplied buttcoiners with
a certain walrus, we'll see
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> jurov: why long, set up
a dos box, enjoy the maxint games which were maxint times better than anything available today. << word.
trinque: asciilifeform | jurov: why long, set up
a dos box, enjoy the maxint games which were maxint times better than anything available today. << /me wishes to see asciilifeform's DOS game list, as I was too young to truly appreciate the era
jurov: is that
a compliment in disguise?
jurov: "What kind of terrible offense must one commit in their past life to be reborn as
a trickster god's cruel experiment:
a living work of sadistic irony possessing the visual acuity of
a hawk, the palate of
a dung beetle, and the agency of
a mollusk."
assbot: Logged on 20-08-2015 18:34:19; ascii_field: so
a 'dos port' is more appropriately
a 'bare metal' port, and doesn't need the dos for anything
assbot: Logged on 20-08-2015 18:34:05; ascii_field: at any rate, msdos provides not one single system call that could be of use to
a bitcoind
assbot: Logged on 20-08-2015 23:11:28; mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-08-2015#1245604 << actually
a dr-dos version would be pretty cool. in fact i would guess an attempt to write private bitcoinfs and make dr-dos check blocks and an attempt to ada-bitcoin would necessarily end with
a very similar if not outright identical product.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Nah. Two St Louis shootings. One was Ferguson hoodrats shot through
a house killing
a nine year old with
a stray bullet. The other was StL PD shooting
a fleeing innocent youth.
BingoBoingo: Gawker of course has
a piece on Homeboy fleeing the crackhouse and eating pig lead
assbot: Logged on 20-08-2015 19:54:59; ascii_field: it's kinda like using
a branding iron on
a snake
assbot: Logged on 20-08-2015 19:11:48; trinque: must be something else to be able to be that brazen and *know* not
a soul will know or care
assbot: Logged on 20-08-2015 19:10:43; ascii_field: 'Update: The US Coast Guard informed me that the 16,000 pounds of cocaine seized during the July 18 semi-submersible bust has been changed to 14,000 pounds, due to
a "quantity mistake" in their initial report. This story has been changed to reflect that correction' << 2,000 for obamitler's cellar
ahmed_bodi: Occasional trader. remember trading with
a few people here. lost my PGP? key so i cant auth with assbot myself anymore
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ascii_field i tell you, trying to convince sopmeone to not mentally s/programmer/monkey/ is
a very hard task.
mircea_popescu: i am seriously persuaded that not
a single "programmer" alive until 2010 ever realised that yes, bitwise identity is
a thing.
mircea_popescu: they'll just sue the chinese in
a chinese court protesting that the chinese arew forcing them to pay bonds as they promised to pay,
ascii_field: then chechnya. which isn't
a long-term affair.
mircea_popescu: if the odds increase past
a very tiny epsilon, there can not be
a country.
mircea_popescu: if the odds for
a policeman being answered with bullets are ~0%, there can be
a country.
mircea_popescu: you can't have
a middle class unless the poor class is being squished underfoot.
mircea_popescu: yes but traditionally the way broker works is that he allocates his trades. so... you say it happened, you have
a block it could have happenbed in, that's it.
mircea_popescu: anwyay, this is
a perfectly fine time to move hashing away from slush, if anyone was looking.
assbot: In no less than six years of block size increases XTCoin would be
a defanged and impotent caricature of actual Bitcoin. : Buttcoin ... (
http://bit.ly/1K9pvHs )
punkman: I was also trying to make
a point about the |GPG| prefix being useless
mircea_popescu: still, these perfectly valid technical objections aside - signed is deeply inferior to clearsigned. this is
a fact, and it won't change.
ascii_field: when i wrote that essay, and there was no positive reaction to it, i concluded that bitcoin users are just too fond of fellating the invisible cock of the anonymous microshit vs wizard, to care half
a damn
assbot: Logged on 20-08-2015 12:05:32; jurov: interesting how my brunch, coffee and b-
a time so often falls into time where channel is silent
ascii_field: it also occurs to me that an anti-bombed bitcoin is only
a hardfork ~if~ the bomb falls.
ascii_field: i, for instance, am not any more thrilled about satoshi's blocks being spendable than
a german in 1945 was re: the trotyl that hitler ordered planted on everything worth half
a broken pfenning
ascii_field: briefly back to earlier thread, i hypothesize that is s-bomb falls, the 'counter-bomb' is
a schelling point.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> that said, yes, people who disregard their own property can "mess around" with your property. for instance,
a guy that doesn't give
a shit about his 50k car can drive it through your front door. << Incidently used care prices are finally returning to "normal" pre-Obola-cash-for-clunkers depreciation curve. Thousand dollar cars are
a thing again. Soon it will probably be possible to acquire
a car capable of providi
assbot: Successfully added
a rating of -10 for slush with note: fuckwit
ascii_field:
a fork that doesn't switch workfunction is ipso facto
a fraud
mircea_popescu: "oh, millenium times" what the fuck derp argument is that. you get the same 25 btc for mining
a block, here or there. each hash is worth the same.
ascii_field: (with the hash power typically available to
a forker)
mircea_popescu: all the altcoin scammers ever did, of course, but for
a very transparent reason.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: only reason is to hitch
a phree ride on the existing allocations
mircea_popescu: since we're doing nonsense ("you can't teach
a class in nonsense. but the history of nonsnese - that's scholarship!"), can anyone explain why exactly would
a hard fork not start with its own genesis ? outside of the fundamentally fraudulent, pious or otherwise, attempt to pretend like it's something it is most assuredly not ?
trinque: supposing it ends up expected that clients have
a sort of "spam" list of bitcoin addresses they ignore
ascii_field: inventors live, typically, with
a strong but arguably justifiable sense of being scammed by their fellow man collectively.
