decimation: and all that. Except Fat Tony. ... All he knew is that suckers exist. ... If you asked any intelligent ?analyst? or journalist at the time, he would have predicted
a rise in the price of oil in the event of war. But that causal link was precisely what Tony could not take for granted. So he bet against it: they are all prepared for
a rise in oil from war, so the price must have adjusted to it. "

tcrypt: seemed like
a good channel to join
tcrypt: ben_vulpes: sorry, was the "who're you?" directed toward me? I'm just
a dude interested in assets on the blockchain
ben_vulpes: there's about
a mile of difference between an 'app' that does god-knows-what on your iPnohe and
a piece of code that...can be inspected.
mod6: so.. there's like
a bunch that might still go another directoin
mod6: out of like 1600 odd graphs, only ~1450 actually have
a config with the standard directional line in there "rankdir"
mod6: i think maybe they should go the other direction tho? so anyway, I'm gonna put up
a temp/test dir so you guys can take
a look

☟︎ decimation: mod6: are you trying to make
a 'dot' graph of the blockchain?
mod6: I haven't quited figured out yet how to make this happen.. but there is
a way to do this, somehow.
mod6: ascii_field: ok, so there is
a way to signal to the dot graph utility to build
a graph in
a given direction. the default seems to be R->L, and there are only 3 given options: RL, LR, or BT. And if you give it no directional option, it seems to do Top->Bottom which is what we want I think. This thing is quite customizable actually.
trinque: because there needed to be
a /var/etc, that's why.

ascii_field: not really. if you invoke dns at all in
a glibc proggy, you get the libnss idiocy
ascii_field: which, in practice, requires
a whole toolchain built against the custom glibc
davout: ascii_field: from what i understand having buildroot + bitcoind required being able to make
a static build, right?

mircea_popescu: give it
a spin sometime, it's absolutely fantastico economic-wise.
mircea_popescu: but the latest comer to "we're

mircea_popescu: and it's not
a matter of "sex" or "omnipresent" or "influence". sex is the basis of all social interaction. education is not an abstract or abstractable abstraction, but social intercourse, exactly like fucking, exactly like seduction, exactly like any other social behaviour.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell gabriel_laddel
a) people who aren't being educated aren't being educated, mmkay. why is my model of education supposedly failing to take into account things which aren't part of the field ? b) it was

gabriel_laddel: Today I moved my entire development flow for hacking on bitcoind into an Ubuntu 14.04 virtual machine. This is just
a stopgap until I get the time to build
a fresh Linux tower with which I'll undertake Gentoo Quest. Again. For real this time, I swear."
gabriel_laddel: "This has lead to no end of headaches when hacking on the bitcoind source. I've built bitcoinds in Docker containers and shipped them off to virtualized servers in The Cloud, I've built them in virtual machines local to my own development machine and run them in the selfsame VMs, and I even burned
a few hours today attempting to compile bitcoin nat
gabriel_laddel: That "sex" is omnipresent and influences human choice is
a rather obvious observation that I can't *do* anything with.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: Even after taking
a walk I wasn't able to digest your point whatsoever. Your model doesn't take into account
a large number of things e.g., people who silently do their homework and never speak with the prof.

mircea_popescu: (note that at the current rate, it'd have been
a lifetime)
mircea_popescu: that said, it'd be incredible cultural progress for the us if it actually was
a little funnier.
mircea_popescu: Along these lines, Meerloo offers
a prescription: “We must learn to treat the demagogue and aspirant dictator in our midst just as we should treat our external enemies in
a cold war – with the weapon of ridicule. The demagogue himself is almost incapable of humor of any sort, and if we treat him with humor, he will begin to collapse. Humor is, after all, related to
a sense of perspective. If we can see how things s
