adlai: usually i like cult films but this is an exception, if it wasn't for hours of boredom that had to be staved off somehow i'd never have even finished it
adlai: cazalla: battle royale << i'm sorry but that was a terrible movie, basically Running Man without arnie = worthless
cazalla: i'll give you one guess as to who i am quoting
cazalla: i
cazalla: in the June timeframe — to have a scheduled hardfork to increase the block size in it. I probably won’t get there. It’ll probably be in the release after that, but we’ll see.
cazalla: I’m actually, right now, working on just getting consensus among the five, what I call, core developers — the five developers who have push access to the git code. I think I’m getting close to convincing them that we have a plan that will work. I’m probably going to have to write some more code . . . I think we have a year to eighteen months. I would love the next release of bitcoin — the next major release, which will be sometime
davout: cazalla: yeah, that's right. i just need to kill some time while http://xkcd.com/303/
davout: ;;later tell mircea_popescu hory shet, i was just thinking about this, how every single bitcoin noob and nigger displays this particular feature, he has "found a problem", and "wants to fix it"
cazalla: thestringpuller, ya see hotline miami 2 is out.. i didn't, it's fucking banned in australia lol
mircea_popescu: and with that, i'm off!
mircea_popescu: not to mention i still distinctly recall my cat-ish mistrust as an 8 yo boy confronted with "special symbols". why exactly something like $ is even needed, or useful, is imo still open to debate.
mircea_popescu: it can wait while i finish my cake slice too.
ben_vulpes: i know this, but for the loggerheads.
assbot: Logged on 10-03-2015 00:04:10; mircea_popescu: i can accept that SOME PEOPLE actually need their monitor to graphics. so make a gamestation. otherwise, we're fucking literate, we're not women, nothing beats text. ever.
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-03-2015#1047115 << this is why i don't quite buy the "trillion dollar project" argument. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://i.imgur.com/rjMI2Dh.gif
cazalla: i love dogs but a dog in the house.. i dunno mang
ben_vulpes: also tonight the beast acquired a new trick: "hold the fuck still while i put things on you"
asciilifeform: because i often use machine for a minute or two at a time
cazalla: not that i'd buy one, but at least these new mac laptops have 16:10 display.. with all the 16:9's doing away with master race 16:10's, it must be coming back into fashion
decimation: mircea_popescu: re: terrorist < eh, I don't see it. what does it benefit the terrorist to even bother?
mircea_popescu: i suppose the terrorist can then wipe his bloody tool on reddit screencaps printed on archival paper
mircea_popescu: i suppose this is going to be the next personal trainer.
mircea_popescu: i knew that church idiot wasn't the only cockroach in the kitchen
danielpbarron: i guess it wasn't bitcoind that caused the power cycle; just happened again just now and it wasn't running..
mircea_popescu: i'd prefer the opposite of b, but in no case am i interested in anything but the opposite of a.
cazalla: i read they grow em next door in chile.. quite nice (old guy over the back has a tree)
mircea_popescu: if they do i never had one
mircea_popescu: the fact that it's one of the lamest "superheroes" (ghost something i dun recall) of one of the lamest "brands" (hanna-barbera, makers of utter age of crap atrocities like scooby doo and the jetsons) only bolsters the point
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: we may never know. just thought it was relevant when I saw it on r/bitcoin
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller who made http://i.imgur.com/t2sfuot.jpg ?
asciilifeform: because i'm being offered l337 discountz if come early & go late, etc
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: anything damning we ought to know about 'Aerolineas Argentinas' ? << i think they've notlost a plane yet.
decimation: yeah. I would be interested in it if it could be used as a heart-rate monitor only
decimation: I thought it had its own built-in gps
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> i have to pay the reciprocity fee again don't i << reciprocisquat all the names!
asciilifeform: decimation: last i saw, you had to spend an extra buck & buy it
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> the ar entry fee gizmo, that is << i don't think you can readily imagine how tech retarded the argentines actually are.
cazalla: but i don't use my phone much at all now since i was relegated back to iphone 4 after smashing the 5, if it wasn't for google maps i'd get rid of it
cazalla: danielpbarron: i created a folder to dump all the undeletable apps and hide the whole thing on the last page <<< hah i do this too and the folder is titled useless
mod6: i wont be there until like 9-10am friday morning. i leave on thursday afternoon.
danielpbarron: i created a folder to dump all the undeletable apps and hide the whole thing on the last page

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I've seen the "amusement park ticket" requirement for Argentina.

mircea_popescu: "no audio, no video, if you can't write it so i feel like reading it you never happened."
mircea_popescu: i can accept that SOME PEOPLE actually need their monitor to graphics. so make a gamestation. otherwise, we're fucking literate, we're not women, nothing beats text. ever. ☟︎☟︎
assbot: Logged on 09-03-2015 19:44:57; ascii_field: 'i counted, read the cards on the wreaths. said things like, 'from wife', 'from son', 'from mother-in-law' - but none said 'from vodka.' nobody died from vodka.'
mircea_popescu: in the 70s, the occasional girl that went "i prefer older men" was kind of a freak. in the 90s, it was common enough. by now... i don't think any girl with options goes for boys her age. and so... there's your overclocking.
saifedean: i should have said: "25% of americans suffer from..."
mircea_popescu: i don't think the average smartphone user is smart enough to know what the cpu does.
asciilifeform: saifedean: except that it's a transparent scam, i, for instance, have the highest grade 'insurance' publicly sold in my locale, and it still offers nothing like the conditions found in civilized world
mircea_popescu: i wonder if diabethes and gout will become punishable offenses in the us the way all sorts of "psychological" imagined stuff is.
asciilifeform: i saw the figure and went 'wtf, what is this, some weirdo VLIW cpu with perversely spiffy pipelining?!' then rememberd 'nope, this is a garden-variety 'pentium m' box...'
saifedean: "and hey! When I exercise my god-given right to diabetes... Obamacare will be there for me"
mircea_popescu: "hey, that's 5x what i make here!"
saifedean: i don't really understand how anyone could want to live in the US in this day and age... anybody who chooses to go live there is essentially an other-determined dweeb who cannot think for themselves and just follows what the tv tells them
mircea_popescu: i dunno... the "i'm not a snitch" thing floats to the point of "what is an american' in my head.
asciilifeform: saifedean: i actually went to a special school where they manufactured these!
saifedean: i lived in DC for a summer and interacted with the residents... my theory is that DC has collected every single shitty asshole/teacher-pet/snitch/scummy loser from every single high school in the world to go live there... no matter where you were in the world, if you were a terrible piece of shit in high school, you found a way to get to DC by age 30
HFSPLUS: how can i get rich off of bitcoin
saifedean: washington is a fucking shit-hole, i wouldn't live in it if you paid me 20k a week instead of rent, there's no city worse on the planet
saifedean: i've traveled the world and never seen a place better, the more i travel the more i fall in love with this place...
HFSPLUS: what did i do?
mircea_popescu: saifedean from where i sit the only sane reason to go to lebanon would be the same as 1k years ago : to start a crusade.
saifedean: im not even lebanese, i went to university here, then lived in london and new york... the move from beirut to these anglo shit-holes was a culture shock, there is no comparison... as soon as i finished my phd and got an offer from a lebanese university, i didnt hesitate move back
saifedean: and by nice, i mean nicer than pretty much anything you've seen
mircea_popescu: so if i want to rent a flat in beirut, what'd it run me ?
thestringpuller: i get like at least 4-7 of those a month
Pierre_Rochard: cazalla: ya know, when I started seeing the same art pieces from history of europe’s feed popping up, I knew it was the end
thestringpuller: when in reality I get tons of spam from it
thestringpuller: i blame bitpay
cazalla: well, i will miss your art retweets
Pierre_Rochard: and every other social media thingy I had in my password manager
mike_c: i'd love to be a fly on the wall in the pitch meetings though when the investor says "so how are you not going to jail?"
mircea_popescu: mike_c see, the way i've observed this to work is like this : 1) usg makes imbecile law ; 2) society is aghast ; 3) teenaged muppets make bold claim that jives with societal expectation, blatantly in contradiction with usg policy.
ben_vulpes: by the holy dogfucking jesus i will find them
ben_vulpes: i will find whoever decided to return 200 from this endpoint and encode the error in xml
mike_c: mircea_popescu: inbetween aspirational and funded. i heard about them because they got "best of" at reasonably big tech conference. my curiousity is mostly around the brazen attempt to do money remittance in US without being licensed.
assbot: Logged on 09-03-2015 17:31:55; mike_c: i don't think that is usg honeypot. just misguided VC chumpatron.
mircea_popescu: "my house doesn't have a hole in the roof - trivial fix" "whatever, i'm not dealing with those imbeciles".
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-03-2015#1046532 << i can see why, x is fucking retarded. ☝︎
ascii_field: i'd argue that these folks -simply don't get to- design cpu any more.
ascii_field: i went through their material ages ago, and it set off quite a few of the 'scammer heuristics' in my head
ben_vulpes: i actually don't recall a thread.
ben_vulpes: trips all sorts of bezzletronic alerts for me, but i lack the context to make judgements.
ascii_field: did i miss something
danielpbarron: if i'm not mistaken, "block" causes all future replies to not attach in the continuity of the conversation, whereas mute just makes them invisible to the muter
cazalla: mike_c, not sure, i've never blocked/ignored anyone tbh
cazalla: danielpbarron, lol ethereum blocked you? buterin is yet to block me even though i cuss him out 100 worse than i did gavin
danielpbarron: oh nice! I don't have that block yet.. http://danielpbarron.com/blocked.txt
cazalla: omg fuck this guy http://i.imgur.com/SmDox6p.png those goggles..
thestringpuller: I"m also po'ed duolingo doesn't teach russian
ascii_field: 'i counted, read the cards on the wreaths. said things like, 'from wife', 'from son', 'from mother-in-law' - but none said 'from vodka.' nobody died from vodka.' ☟︎
ascii_field: i'd say 'ask them' but quite likely they're all buried at this point.
