pete_dushenski: "Coinbase is seriously crossing the line now. I have had an account with Coinbase for well over 1.5 year. I bought some btc in March, and sent it to a DNM (won't say which one).. and did not purchase anything. I did not. The btc was a trivial amount, and said DNM has been having troubles with their uptime lately. Literally, no crime committed.

jordandotdev: yes I have my key I don't know if I'm in this web-of-trust

jordandotdev: I did one for bitcoin-otc a while ago

jordandotdev: I don't think I did one for bitcoin-assets

jordandotdev: Ummm it's been some time since I last updated it

jordandotdev: pete_dushenski: naw just had this as one of my channels in autojoin irccloud - I've been interested in mircea's work and have read some of his stuff

pete_dushenski: jordandotdev: i don't believe we've talked before, no.

pete_dushenski: but mebbe i'm off.

jordandotdev: I do want to get into finance so I'm looking to do project management for quantitative developers etc. / go to school for a masters in finance if I can cut it (:

jordandotdev: I'm still happy to do start-up stuff here in the states

jordandotdev: I just don't want to work at a bank at this point in my career

jordandotdev: but that job didn't end up working out - and I wasn't getting enough other work with Bitfinex to support myself there

jordandotdev: I was just just consulting on some internal projects

jordandotdev: I was working for a VC firm as my dayjob

pete_dushenski: jordandotdev: so if they're 'distributed' why did you move to hk ? why not stay stateside (where i presume you're from ?)

jordandotdev: and the CEO is great, and they're good guys, really focused on keeping people safe...but as far as 'tech initiatives' I was really in the wrong place

jordandotdev: well I was friends with Raphael at first...he's in London and he runs the tech side of thing...I was working with the CEO there...so they're a distributed team

jordandotdev: and some other Bitcoin people I met in HK -- some have moved on etc.

jordandotdev: and am still interviewing for a few more projects with some contacts I made there

jordandotdev: yeah I worked with Bitfinex for a bit

jordandotdev: but yeah I will follow up with them ... the video platforms that make bitcoin a first-class citizen are pretty few and far-between

jordandotdev: I was hacking away on this when I was unemployed

jordandotdev: I met some people that wanted to do eSports tournaments

jordandotdev: yeah I can't decide I wanted to learn more about RMTP etc.

jordandotdev: I have a bitcoin streaming site I'm messing around with

decimation: the best one can do is try to find 'natural experiments' like twins, but I'm sure with enough study of the details there one could find plenty of subtle 'unlikenesses' between supposedly identical twins

mircea_popescu: heh, i have been surrounded by humans unlike myself my entire life.

mircea_popescu: i suppose so

cazalla: decimation, i'd include proper food (i prepare nearly all the meals for my son) and some adversity, too many kids being nurtured to death these days

decimation: cazalla: I agree, the question is merely 'what is the ratio'? 80% nature? 50/50? The answer isn't obvious, but the evidence seems to tilt toward 'mostly genetic, some nurture'

cazalla: fwiw, i think it's a combination of the two but then again, some kids will do well regardless of which family they find themselves born into so who knows, i'm trying the nurture thing with my son so we'll see

decimation: I would recommend watching this series: http://www.pellebilling.com/2011/12/norwegian-comedian-challenges-myths-about-nature-versus-nurture/

cazalla: i wouldn't have a clue nor do i care, i just want to garden ok

cazalla: decimation, i use to read his stuff but i think he has an over-inflated sense of his own intelligence (some IQ video of his rubbed me the wrong way.. coulda been this, coulda been that, coulda been a dr type shit)

assbot: Captain Capitalism: I'm Officially Predicting Recession...But... ... ( http://bit.ly/1dUqSwN )

assbot: Logged on 09-05-2015 18:08:33; davout: what am i? the fucking ms office paperclip?

Naphex: pete_dushenski: found this on your blog http://www.fooledbyrandomness.com/GIF.pdf it was just what i needed atm. awesome thanks! :P

williamdunne: I was just moving it over to wordpress yesterday

pete_dushenski: eek, i thought 1/10th of that on my previous header image was bad.

mircea_popescu: $ curl -I http://thethug.life/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/giant.png

pete_dushenski: lol "i have 50 books on the english language if you need to borrow one"

pete_dushenski: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRGC-5LjJ2M << "is it coz i is black ?"

pete_dushenski: "“Don’t vote! None have the right to legislate except Allah,” read one of dozens of bills splayed on car windshields outside the St. Saviour’s polling station in the east London constituency of Poplar and Limehouse. " << that's one angle from which to poke holes in popular democracy, i guess

pete_dushenski: also, it wasn't at all clear where googley eyes borrowed "More transactions means more memory for the UTXO database" from, but i agree, mircea_popescu, log quotes should be in there.

pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-05-2015#1126522 http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-05-2015#1126621 << if only i had editing rights on qntra, i'd s/undettered/undeterred/ and add "oh-so" instead of "much" in front of "superior" ☝︎☝︎

trinque: I'm workin on my gentoo bootstrap script today

mircea_popescu: nah. i imagine the ideal box from this perspective is something that hasn't been touched since 1999

asciilifeform: i sorta imagined that lamers might move the port instead of setting up keyed auth or whatnot

asciilifeform: funnily enough, i haven't seen a single ssh bruteforcebot on my regular boxes since moving ssh to nonstandard ports. did not expect this to have any effect, but it did. vanished. evidently the 'ancient art' of port scan has been forgotten? go figure.

asciilifeform: i.e. that there is ample supply of morons with guessable pw

mircea_popescu: yeah, but i prefer to watch.

mircea_popescu: at any rate, today i have ~70k lines of 185.11.147.17 - - [09/May/2015:11:54:35 -0400] "POST /xmlrpc.php HTTP/1.0" 200 54 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; http://www.google.com/bot.html)"

mircea_popescu: whaack nah i just can't spell

whaack: Well I say my analysis is good regardless of the intentions of the author

whaack: Or did I read too deep into that?

davout: i also just added "CONFIG_FDISK_SUPPORT_LARGE_DISKS=y", maybe if i remove and re-add the partition it'll work

davout: i added "CONFIG_MKFS_EXT2=y" in busybox.config

asciilifeform: davout: known (to me) bug, presently i have no idea what caused

davout: however I'm stuck getting "mkfs.ext2: lseek: Value too large for defined data type" which I've no idea how to solve :/

davout: after fdisk'ing a new partition on it, and toggling the MKFS option in the buildroot config I can now "# busybox mkfs.ext2 /dev/sda1"

davout: so, in my quest to getting the pogoplug working i'm at the step where i'm trying to get it to create an ext2 FS on the attached SATA drive

davout: what am i? the fucking ms office paperclip? ☟︎

danielpbarron: great piece pete_dushenski. I loled a few times

pete_dushenski: i loooove it when a derpy commenter drops a payload like this on my lap : http://www.contravex.com/2015/02/11/the-economics-of-sinking-20-mb-gavincoin-blocks/#comment-17319

pete_dushenski: chalk one up under 'best practise' and ignore the fact that i didn't think it could be done on 1.4.x :)

pete_dushenski: danielpbarron: i believe this is only in newer versions of gpg ?

pete_dushenski: i'd like to think not.

pete_dushenski: "The canonical example is that intelligence is correlated with foot size. It's a fact." << i'm currently a size 11.5, was once 12.5... am i stupider now than i was then ?

pete_dushenski: lol i suck at romanian, you suck at english ?

mircea_popescu: i have had domestic accidents where barefoot slave stepped on beardhair on floor, hurt her foot, thing had to be cut out with wire cutters.

davout: i have to concur here, you could fit food for a small african village in mircea's beard

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-05-2015#1126409 << have these people actually ~even seen~ my beard ? i wish to know who the fuck has a more respectable beard than me. hegel ? ☝︎

mircea_popescu: davout re the youtube : this very weird absurdist romanian comedian. i'm a fan. regularly comes up with indescribably weird shit, rarely sahre-able cause rarely in an actually spoken language.

funkenstein_: gabriel_laddel, I said no such thing. This is a public log. ☟︎

gabriel_laddel: ou are done reading this post, I hope you will no longer labour under this gross misconception."

assbot: Logged on 09-05-2015 01:42:24; danielpbarron: "This is frustrating; from a clean slate analysis of network health I think my conclusion would be to _decrease_ the limit below the current 300k/txn/day level." << I concur; 1MB is probably too large a block
