Namworld: Will start destroying/chewing stuff if I'm not home for for more than a day. Kind like a dog, but you don't see that behavior often in cats.
jurov: Hey. I prefer human pets with bipolar affective disorder
Namworld: I don't know about that... but he kinds of act like it.
ben_vulpes: "i am medicated for schizophrenia and what is dog"
chetty: lmao, no I didnt make a plea deal (those are not legal after all) and if I lied on this form I am guilty of perjury, they get you no matterwhat.
Namworld: I'm scared. I just visited the forum for the first time in a long time...
ascii_field: http://cryptome.org/2015/05/doug-williams-guilty-plea.pdf << mega-l0l. i, for one, have never seen the 'plead guilty' form, and it is lulzy ☟︎
joecool: whaack: i'm not sure how those fingerprints work, but the way gribble does it is different than assbot
joecool: i will say WoT works fantastically well most of the time for trade
whaack: I'm not sure how that's similar, in this system we would be blind to any interaction with fiat institutions
whaack: So I'm working on building a system where people who I allow can spend BTC on credit. They would have the ability to spend my BTC just for having a good trust rating with me, and the business would be about improving the way I set the trust rating / payment limits etc. so that the fees I take in for the service outweigh the losses I have to eat
decimation: but I do like the idea of using magnetic flux for computation rather than electric flux
decimation: asciilifeform: I did look through the magnetic amplifiers book. It sounds difficult to fabricate tiny transformers on ferric cores
assbot: Logged on 15-05-2015 06:31:28; cazalla: ben_vulpes, comparable homes in my area are going for 600k, supposedly worth so much more than what my grand parents paid for their massive acre blocks back in the day where they were able to raise lots of kids on one wage yet i'm supposed to believe you're average australian couple who both work and pay for someone else to raise the 1 kid have it better because the total lack of land and bricks is worth $$
asciilifeform: i lacked the last two items and so did not buy.
asciilifeform: punkman: not far from where i live, one of those things sold (surplus) for 1k or so.
assbot: Logged on 15-05-2015 06:13:52; Namworld: I was just perplexed by single people with no children struggling with minimum salary, which is ~$1400 after taxes.
punkman: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hitachi-S-2400-Scanning-Electron-Microscope/221729755269 that's a lot less expensive than I imagined
assbot: Logged on 15-05-2015 06:28:58; ben_vulpes: the house i grew up in might retail for ~3x what my parents paid for it, and far more than i'll ever sock away in my lifetime
punkman: I do remember a fellow that made a crude DIY electron microscope though
punkman: I concede that point, yes
punkman: asciilifeform: << eagerly awaiting 'electron microscope on welfare' article << i think that's called university
cazalla: sounds great until i gave it a bit more thought and considered the cost and work involved
mircea_popescu: if they do it failed cuz i dont give a shit >D
cazalla: i wonder if they deliberately make errors so that many people watch to point them out to one another
cazalla: but yes, so i don't eat it
mircea_popescu: yo cazalla, if i give you some candy are you gonna go all junkie and forget your duties to land and king ?
cazalla: can't say i'm a fan.. might try to touch it in a subtle manner to ensure it is a mole lest someone didn't teach the poor girl how to wipe
mircea_popescu: i don't care how it looks. the point is that it's there, none of this "o, she just took the beadspread to the bathroom" bs.
mircea_popescu: i'm not watching any more videos until they conform.
mircea_popescu: i love that vid.
Namworld: Well I'm off for real this time.
cazalla: Namworld, shitty job (i did like an unpaid 16 hour shift many years ago)
cazalla: ben_vulpes, comparable homes in my area are going for 600k, supposedly worth so much more than what my grand parents paid for their massive acre blocks back in the day where they were able to raise lots of kids on one wage yet i'm supposed to believe you're average australian couple who both work and pay for someone else to raise the 1 kid have it better because the total lack of land and bricks is worth $$$ ☟︎☟︎
Namworld: I feel if you stop bothering about what people think, fitting social expectations, outperforming your neighbors or any such thing. At least in certain places. I suppose it depends on real estate prices.
ben_vulpes: the house i grew up in might retail for ~3x what my parents paid for it, and far more than i'll ever sock away in my lifetime ☟︎
cazalla: i can't articulate it well but i'm sure i've read alf mention it before that it's part of the bezzle.. have you work and paid just enough to cover bills but never enough that you could be free of it within your life time, at least until you're washed up and old
ben_vulpes: i could buy a mini cnc mill and make custom leather embossing dies
ben_vulpes: <Namworld> [05:06] I feel much better having a small living space and more << i miss lathes and mills and welders
Namworld: ok, it's past 2am, I guess I'll log off for now. Getting empty in here. I'm off-topic for the channel too. Shouldn't be rambling late at night. I'll turn senile early.
cazalla: no doubt they piss a lot of it away but i don't think they are entirely to blame for being on struggle street
Namworld: I was just perplexed by single people with no children struggling with minimum salary, which is ~$1400 after taxes. ☟︎
Namworld: I'll be living slightly more expensively within 2 months.
Namworld: It just happened that I ended up with $500 in bills per month, without any effort on my part whatsoever.
Namworld: I'm not trying to save, I'm going to be upgrading living expenses by $200 per month and have my own bedroom. In a better location nearer downtown in a bigger and better apartment.
cazalla: shot myself in the foot with that one.. if i had said baby though, breast milk being somewhat free and all
Namworld: I'm sure a toddler is more expensive... Cat is like a $20 bag of food for like 2-3 months. And like ~$15 of litter for the same period. So about 10-15 bucks per month.
cazalla: my bad then, i assumed your interest in reducing living expenses was so that you could save a bit extra
cazalla: i'd bet a cat or dog costs about the same to feed a toddler
Namworld: I'm not trying to save money.
Namworld: Well my cat can play tag, comes at the door running to greet you and gives his paw. I could probably teach him to fetch.
cazalla: meh i hate em, they kill a lot of the natives around here
Namworld: But I like the cat...
Namworld: I didn't consider such a thing. I guess I'd feel confortable even in a submarine/ship.
asciilifeform: but i'm not entirely clear on how 'magnetic bottle' for keeping charged particules penned in, relates to magnetic logic
asciilifeform: Namworld: i broke it
mircea_popescu: only time i ever bought such a thing was off the auction block. had no use for it, but fuck. dat price.
mircea_popescu: i do, actually.
Namworld: Admittedly, if I wanted to use any of these equipments, I'd just study the field and get the funds and lab assigned to me.
asciilifeform: cazalla: i own - my shirt.
cazalla: anyway, i thought all you old school bitcoiners were rich as fuck
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in a time long ago i had a 3 phase washing machine.
mircea_popescu: i find the symmetry amusing.
mircea_popescu: lolz all you wish, but let me tell you something : to anyone i knew in the 80s, "you will never own your own pair of jeans" would have been possibly the worst conceivable curse.
Namworld: I feel much better having a small living space and more spare money than I can use than having a big place with only crap to put in it and struggling to afford anything but paying for a large living space.
asciilifeform: i dare say, he lived.
Namworld: I wouldn't consider myself to be merely existing. But it seems as such for you.
mircea_popescu: sometimes i think i'm too terse. then i look at the logs and shudder. what's a gal to do!
assbot: Logged on 15-05-2015 04:39:14; mircea_popescu: you see what i mean.
Namworld: I'm not even on minimum salary and could live 2x on it.
Namworld: mircea_popescu, not always. Even then, I don't see many smokers smoking enough to burn almost $1000 a month.
Namworld: asciilifeform, I'm pretty sure working with folks struggling on maximal salary is a masochistic endeavour.
Namworld: No. Feels like I have everything I need. I'm just perplexed by people who don't have the excuse of kids struggling on minimum salary.
Namworld: I have rent, electricity bill, food (good food and delivered at door), cellphone and Internet all fitting within ~$500, depending on food selection that month.
mircea_popescu: anyway, maybe they were goldfish, i dunno.
mircea_popescu: do you know what i am saying!
Namworld: Yeah, I wanted to, but I didn't have the hat.
Namworld: I'm no a pimp.
Namworld: If only that... $420 rent here, split in 2 for a 1 bedroom. I'm installed in the living room/kitchen as if it was a studio. Roommate in room.
mircea_popescu: while i was nodding
mircea_popescu: in the end i got however many free megawatts.
mircea_popescu: cazalla i had an entire fucking lulz with the elec corp in romania. they wanted to give me a deal if i prepaid, so i prepaid for like a year. then the eu elec price explosion happened, and so they paid me to get out of the prepay deal. then prices went back down.
cazalla: and as i've mentioned a few times before.. take a roll of toilet paper home from work each day
Namworld: I often hear living in the city as someone poor (minimum salary) is harsh. It always seemed a bit absurd to me. Minimum salary here is ~$1400 per month after taxes. CAD$10.55 per hour.
Namworld: I don't see what you mean then.
mircea_popescu: you see what i mean. ☟︎
Namworld: Well considering I don't have a harem... that's not really something I have on my mind.
mircea_popescu: the best advice i can give is, if you're having the girls living separate, pair them up. much happier girls, cheaper.
Namworld: I'm completely derailing the current topic, sorry
asciilifeform: Namworld: i for one have no idea, i've never lived yet
Namworld: I somewhat have a preference for smaller living space, higher quality goods/food.
asciilifeform: i would argue that the overvaluation of games was considerably less dramatic than of ai
mircea_popescu: i don't see a future for the stuff covered by moore's law, for the very simple reason we could call "obama's arab league failure"
mircea_popescu: i have my doubts 4096 keys will EVER be factored.
decimation: fair enough. I would wager against it happening in the next 20 years
mircea_popescu: i don't get it ?
decimation: well, I was thinking about the case where one couldn't 'upgrade' a key because of threats to existing key lengths
williamdunne: decimation: I think the current logic is slippage
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-05-2015#1132451 << i was gonna bitch but then i saw the gif. that's a kickass gif. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: decimation i make some from trilema.
