jurov: i'm not very keen on exchanging bitcoins on streets with anyone
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i think it's because for a while they added new keys in batches ?
mircea_popescu: i think there are some such, mostly with confederate dollars, in the us
mircea_popescu: obviously the correct reaction would just be what i did on the meat list, ie, group all weird under a single "Weird" heading. but then obviously this irks the delusions of individuality of the individual weird involved, so there's that line of bitching.
mircea_popescu: and this is why the traditional statement of the objection among the wrong side of kink high is "i don't want them imposing their stuff on me".
bagels7: I don't see how I changed my lifestyle lobbes
bagels7: mad at himself because he couldnt tell what I was
bagels7: [11:38] <+mircea_popescu> how do you know it's faggot insecurity ? << When I am waiting at a bus stop at 2 in the morning and a guy walks by and pretends to be waiting for the bus as an excuse to talk to me while I am merely being polite then after 15 minutes has the nerve to tell me that I deceived him when he was only being nice to get laid
mircea_popescu: while it's true that it probably shares that source with all sorts of nuttery (religious fervor, for instance), i very much doubt the actual motivator is what's proposed, ie, "dude is secretly gay and fighting it overtly"
lobbes: <bagels7> I stay away from men in general. << you spend time in this channel though. About 95% men from what I guess
bagels7: As someone who is transgender I stay away from men in general. I make men angry that would rather kill me than to deal with their faggot insecurity
mod6: i just realized i can zoom out on this... looking more and more areodynamic every day.
mod6: Sorry, I don't wanna make more work for ya. It's p. awesome as is.
mike_c: mod6: maybe yes, I'm exploring that.
mod6: I love this chart as well; are there any plans to make the name's in the graph link to the corresponding page for that user/keyid?
mircea_popescu: mike_c q : how hard would it be to enforce fixed placement on the inner circle ? i dunno how they're placed now, but how about just divide 2pi to however many people and each gets that much sector
williamdunne: Thats one of the upgrades I need to make
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Scoop was down for a while, I committed an upgrade too early
ben_vulpes: pahahaha yeah okay i'll just ask you to do that every time i comment on contravex
mircea_popescu: I agree. If you tell them upfront, they'll be weirded out. If you tell them in person, they might try to physically hurt you."
pete_dushenski: i tried a corona a few months, which are supposedly as low on the gluten scale as they come for normal beers, and i puked my guts out.
pete_dushenski: re: prayer, not like i'm going to go eat a loaf of bread now either just because a pizza pinged off my immunoarmour
pete_dushenski: ah so veblen goods would be like that dentist's services i was mentioning the other day.
pete_dushenski: ... i do not.
pete_dushenski: i want to say... plumbing. but i'll confirm. i know someone who knows him.
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2012/desteapta-te-n-pula-mea-de-distractie/ << i might have found the tensest thing i wrote on trilema. wishing goodluck to anyone who's going to write a program to tokenize this text.
Pierre_Rochard: “For people to say black lives matter, and for the crowd to shout back ‘U.S.A.,’ which is upholding a system that is oppressing black people, I think that that is problematic,”
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-04-2015#1116627 << i didn't actually run it, just, got curious as to what exactly fails to work. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: best secretary i eve rhad did 82 wpm.
pete_dushenski: meh. not like i'm signing up anytime soon.
pete_dushenski: i dun follow that part at all. the pgp/rsa makes sense but where aes comes in is anyone's guess.
mircea_popescu: i don't get it. which is it ?
pete_dushenski: i e-mailed him, he recommended using the blackberry 9900 (2011 vintage) or earlier
pete_dushenski: http://myntex.ca/pgp-blackberry.php << i found this interesting because it's a local kid doing this on his own.
pete_dushenski: man i couldn't imagine a month without typing.
Pierre_Rochard: thanks, will do! I’m getting surgery on my right shoulder in a week, so I need to get some dictation software haha
pete_dushenski: we need the "explain it to me like i'm 5 years old" approach
Pierre_Rochard: exactly, and I’m assembling an abrams tank, now I need to write up the user manual
pete_dushenski: i am but a simple man using simple spreadsheets.
pete_dushenski: and hey, i'll take better bookkeeping!
pete_dushenski: multi-currency i understand, but what do you mean by 'multi-entity' ?
Pierre_Rochard: pete_dushenski: or at least make reasonable bookkeepers out of you, I couldn’t call someone an accountant if they don’t know how to do a multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation
Pierre_Rochard: davout: I floated the idea last year - I’ve used a lot of different accounting software and never been satisfied - none of them use acccounting theory as the spec
pete_dushenski: i see you've made some solid progress with pacioli.
assbot: Logged on 30-04-2015 03:33:07; mircea_popescu: hey various folks whose pgp keys i've signed at teh conference key signing party... you're supposed to also sign mine!
davout: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-04-2015#1116571 <<< done, i also think i gave my gpg-fingerprint-imprinted bizcard to most peeps at c3 so time for some moar signing! ☝︎
mircea_popescu: "I have typed an average of 21.3 keystrokes per second" eh gtfo. ☟︎
gabriel_laddel: wtf I can't find the source for that quote anymore
gabriel_laddel: I'll agree to that.
mircea_popescu: but i won't agree he's a mathematician.
mircea_popescu: i would agree that the counting horse is a remarkable horse,
gabriel_laddel: apart from this, I have written Emacs Lisp functions to make a statement into a question and vice versa, to join and split sentences (not quite as trivial as it sounds), to upgrade from singular to plural and vice versa, to change the person from second to third and vice versa, et cetera. significant parts of grammar is the way it is to maintain correspondence between numbers and persons and tenses and such, and sin
assbot: Logged on 29-04-2015 17:11:55; mircea_popescu: "The studious will note that this is a completely solved problem that no machine learning algorithm will be able to approximate anytime soon." i'm sorry...what ? solved how ?
assbot: Logged on 29-04-2015 17:12:02; mircea_popescu: and why the fuck am i referencing pastebins.
assbot: Logged on 29-04-2015 15:00:28; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-04-2015#1115422 << this, i will point out, is in no way related to any inherent property of either (unless you mean lisp is inherently going to fail), but simply a function of context. had the linux kernel been implemented in sclb, and had the past 20 years been spent with scbl being "the cool language", you'd be having zhe pronouns and assorted idiocy to the tu
gabriel_laddel: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=29-04-2015#1115889 << and I will point out that you're wrong. The simplicity of lisp vs. C is absolutely due to the inherrent properties of the respective artifacts. Seriously, MMM vs GC, parsing vs. not, no bignums vs. numerics - "abstractions push upward" (TM). ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 29-04-2015 14:41:31; mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel "Why isn't there grammer/spellchecking for my comments? " << this i can readily answer. because I am what's called "a creator of language", which is to say one of those people who, through his usage, ENACTS the rules all amateur users of language MUST follow, as a mark of their linguistic inferiority. like fucking shakespeare.
gabriel_laddel: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=29-04-2015#1115871 << If the "rules" of human language are formalized it becomes much easier to break them in interesting ways. One could use the output of a shannonizer to inform word choice for his story, enforcing that each word is followed by one of the top 10 least likely words in the whole of the language up to this point. I suspect that such a tale would be great fun to re ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 29-04-2015 14:29:15; mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel "why are the holes not marked or filled?" << ftr this is not what i was contemplating. what I was contemplating is, why the fuck don't defaults pop up. bring back the fucking paperclip, put it the ONE place where it makes fucking sense. "hey john, I see you changed FuckOff() from bool to int. This function is called 82 places in 22 files. Would you like me to a) check all places where
gabriel_laddel: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=29-04-2015#1115832 << We're discussing the same thing. If the program has "marked" all instances of $WHATEVER I can trivally add "Would you like me to a) check all places where it's called and report what I can figure out about the context ? b) iterate you through all locations ? c) change it back ? d) run a trace see what happens ?" on top of it. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: hey various folks whose pgp keys i've signed at teh conference key signing party... you're supposed to also sign mine! ☟︎
decimation: yeah I'm not sure if the guy is joking or not
decimation: I assume you saw http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/04/27/wordpress_zero_day_xss/
mircea_popescu: nah, i run wordpress
mircea_popescu: i guess this qualifies.
decimation: I assumed based on your epel comment
decimation: I think mit actually has a significant percentage of high school valedictorians
Pierre_Rochard: indeed, though I think the gems will become apparent as pacioli becomes integrated with a wallet and the WoT. writing the core accounting part was necessary because of all the crufted OSS gnucash/openerp monoliths
mircea_popescu: i mean it in the bluntest "make sense of reality" sense.
mircea_popescu: and i don't even mean it in the made-for-tv "tax dodge11!1!" sense.
mircea_popescu: "I have often felt that programming is an art form,
Pierre_Rochard: that’s a great approach, I was stuck in the mindset of “I’m coding this for accountants”, rather than “I’m coding this to create accountants”
Pierre_Rochard: I see, completely agree
Pierre_Rochard: I don’t… gaap or non-gaap depends 90% on the user, 10% on the software - the software is at 11%
mircea_popescu: i ha dno idea
cazalla: soz for the elbowing BingoBoingo but i saw more gems news on coinfire earlier :)
pete_dushenski: i mean, a few of us here do it for fun, but surely we miss errors here and there.
pete_dushenski: danielpbarron i do enjoy 'sunny'. the first 5 seasons were pretty fucking hilarious but i haven't kept up with it since then.
danielpbarron: it was called battle bots i think
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-04-2015#1115259 << i don't want to say i had anything to do with this, but... ☝︎
trinque: I'm not familiar with seeing cops holding those
ascii_field: i also love how mircea_popescu put this box in a war zone
ascii_field: if folks were to put a million keys through this thing each day, every time a new planet with intelligent pgp-using aliens is contacted, i would probably tweak a few things, yes.
mircea_popescu: i guess that's spikey no ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field maybe if i install varnish ?
BingoBoingo: http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--WA-gckbI--/c_fit,fl_progressive,q_80,w_636/enneopevmant8ohbidxa.gif
cazalla: been running fine for a while but now, same problems i had a few months back :\
mircea_popescu: i wanna see if this'll actually work practically or not for the purpose.
ascii_field: next when i get a moment i'ma cook up a proper jinxed keypair
mircea_popescu: ascii_field yes, its what i said above. and you're probably just caching locally.
jurov: i see archive.today (195.211.154.159), that's the old one?
mircea_popescu: anyway, THATs why i kept asking.
ascii_field: i'm about to switch off the old one
mircea_popescu: i imagined it's just gonna get done locally for expediency. but hey, tests are great.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: when i pump it in!
mircea_popescu: so mebbe i dun understand something, but wasn't it going to process the however many gb archive ?
mircea_popescu: i'll go through the correct centos and poke fun at engineer later.
ascii_field: jurov: l0l that was last night's thing. today we have normal box. which i just finished setting up.
mircea_popescu: jurov i can see it, can't go out of business by not spending.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i meant just the churning, is it going ?
