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.
davout: feels like a coolaid bukkake these days tbh
funkenstein_: gabriel_laddel, I said no such thing. This is a public log. ☟︎
pete_dushenski: mike_c very kind of you to suggest me. lemme take a look at ol' usgavin's latest hatchet job and see if there's a qntra article lying in wait.
decimation: in the same way, the early us was cursed with the root louse that ate wine roots - they became a 'beer culture' by default
gabriel_laddel: ;; rate funkenstein_ -1 author of a silly blogpost that reviews none of the assorted literature on the topic of choice, dances around the idea that perhaps experimental design is important and finally fails to conclude anything of significance. ☟︎
gabriel_laddel: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=08-05-2015#1125516 << context: funkenstein_ was commenting a while back that jews are overrepresented in banking and then released a blog post (http://frass.woodcoin.org/intelligence-is-caused-by-big-feet-obesity-by-genetics/) that starts with "You may have some idea in your mind that things like cancer, intelligence, and obesity are in some way caused by genetics. By the time y ☝︎

fluffypony: I know, pankkake has been gone from our lives for nearly a year
fluffypony: now all we need is pankkake and Apocalyptic and it's a party
assbot: Logged on 09-05-2015 03:35:27; asciilifeform: my favourite apocryphal scene is where a german general, seeing french flags, asked 'did we lose to -them- as well' ?
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
assbot: I got a fever, and the only prescription, is more cowbell! - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1IqSQeB )
indiancandy1: but yea a hell of a lot of alcohol consumed
mircea_popescu: well... if drinks are still 5-ish quid a pop, you did end up buying a bunch.
indiancandy1: just for a drink no thanks il buy my own
indiancandy1: well i used 2 spend atleast 1000 pounds a month
cazalla: sounds like a good move
indiancandy1: i had a fight
indiancandy1: i was in hospital on a drip crying :((

assbot: Logged on 08-05-2015 16:55:03; pete_dushenski: i'm currently giving 'foundation training' a go. basically simplified yoga to specifically counter the effects of sitting at a computer all day (and all night).
gabriel_laddel: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=08-05-2015#1125284 << I wish you luck, but ftw I'm not the sort of person to discuss this class of phenomenon. Even with all the disclaimers and knowing that Aaron isn't a fuckwit I still think of his post as "new age BS". I don't exercise, smoke, drink and eat whatever I want. ☝︎
gabriel_laddel: <decimation> "oh no, I'm not that kind of person to take advantage of a woman" << lolol
mircea_popescu: eh, not what i see. i see a bunch of poofters from the various rags trying to act all top shelf & culturful, in their straw hats and bedsheets.
decimation: maybe a better description would be 'trying to bring back old republicans'
mircea_popescu: anyway, that site's a sort of b-a for libertards, more or less.
decimation: "oh no, I'm not that kind of person to take advantage of a woman"
decimation: shouldn't the audience have appreciated it? they were watching a simulation of exactly what he acted out
decimation: one of my friends made a good point about that 'batman killer' who shot up the theater in denver
mircea_popescu: "The resilience of this world (as with our own) is that the truth cannot disable it. Even when TV tells you TV is bad for you, you’ll nod and say “that’s so right” and queue up the next episode. This irony is not lost on the producers. “15 Million Merits” is a show about a show about how destructive shows are. We recognize this as truth and congratulate ourselves for noticing. But just like the hapless redh
mircea_popescu: http://ordinary-gentlemen.com/blog/2015/01/24/black-mirror-season-102-15-million-merits << a pretty decent discussion of it.
cazalla: looks interesting, worth a watch eh?
mircea_popescu: anyway, that's my idea of weev. neither trolling nor not trolling, merely trying to earn a living.
mircea_popescu: cazalla you ever seen that tv series about the people on the bikes ? guy with a suicide attempt gets his own show ?
decimation: it's been a hate thing for awhile, at least in the us
mircea_popescu: amusingly enough, saying that white people should defend themselves / race is dying is a hate thing nao ?
mircea_popescu: cazalla there's actually a hitler impersonator in timisoara
cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-05-2015#1126095 <<< alf that is a photoshop, here is the original http://i.imgur.com/kXjdfYa.png ☝︎
danielpbarron: "@BryceWeiner Thank you so much for helping Nick invent a digital currency for our local high school. Hope they can make it work"
mircea_popescu: so they pay 2mn pesos for an apartment worth maybe 18k dollars, and they imagine that there's a difference between this and just gifting it to the government.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: '...these people are already living a degree of magnitude above their means, hallucinating 100's of k's real estate values...' << why such certainty that it is hallucinated? is it possible that american escapees genuinely bid up the cost ?
asciilifeform: 'This is actually true, I passed by some twerp here trying to give out flyers of some local thing identifying as a communist party and my principal impulse was to ask him how is he not ashamed of himself.' << i lost count of how many 'radical left party hq' doors i walked past in b-a
mircea_popescu: had beria not been pro-us, but symetrically anti, the fulda gap'd have been taken in a week and well... russia from sea to sea.
decimation: I recall a post about the us ambassador trying to become stalin's boyfriend
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> or patton's. << I'm a Patton truther. He was assasinated to keep the war from running another decade,
asciilifeform: my favourite apocryphal scene is where a german general, seeing french flags, asked 'did we lose to -them- as well' ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: though i think it's a test-place before the swing proper
mircea_popescu: can not has a jpg like normal people ?
asciilifeform: it is a very good one
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i was doing a mental fuzzy conversion to modern.
mircea_popescu: moreover, what, every time you need a car you steal a car ?
decimation: the uk is even more of a police state
mircea_popescu: i never had anyone in hiding without at least a few rifles + sidearms, at least a coupla people along for the ride, etc. 40k is good for a quarter, and that if the guy's very sensible all around.
decimation: but living like a bum is not a good way to avoid the police
decimation: $40k would go a long way in the us as long as you are willing to live like a bum
diametric: mircea_popescu: you should start a registrar next.
mircea_popescu: should get a prize.
danielpbarron: bores of trying to find << happens to me on a weekly basis
asciilifeform: decimation: iirc the lectures in the videos were not actually given at mit, but as a guest tour for, i think, hewlett-packard
mircea_popescu: a ty
mircea_popescu bores of trying to find the "maybe blocks end up being too large" reference. was a coupla weeks ago iirc
mircea_popescu: felipelalli find out the details, write a qntra article.
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 ☟︎
decimation: asciilifeform: apparently MIT put a sussman lisp class from 1986 on their on-line course system http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-001-structure-and-interpretation-of-computer-programs-spring-2005/video-lectures/1a-overview-and-introduction-to-lisp/
danielpbarron: the ratings are supposed to be a jumping off point that leads to actually talking to someone, and in that regard too much info might be more of a hiderance than a help
assbot: Logged on 08-05-2015 23:01:23; cazalla: mike_c, maybe you know or not but timestamp in WoT browser don't appear to update if you previously left that person a rating.. example, a rating i left a month ago is timestamped nov 2014
felipelalli: I just knew that a Brazilian exchange was hacked last week but this information is not public yet. Anyone knows anything about it? (a friend told me but he has no much information also).
decimation: google protocol buffers is a library that allows the construction of arbitrary bit protocols
joecool: could also be that i built it on gcc 5.1 which is proving to be a pile of shit (but this doesn't build in clang either...)
asciilifeform: it's a qt-ism
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: A-Rod still has that 10 year contract with the Yankees that says he gets bonuses for ever time he progresses along certain career milestones. He spent all last year suspended because "if you can you must" so now this year that he is breaking all of these milestones after spending last year's suspension by chillaxing at the beach the yankees don't want to pay him his contractual bonuses.
assbot: Union preparing to fight for A-Rod's $6 million home run bonus - May. 8, 2015 ... ( http://bit.ly/1DX5FHi )
danielpbarron: it's because ognasty doesn't have a gpg key http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewgpg.php?nick=OgNasty
assbot: 2 results for 'Uncleftish' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=Uncleftish
mircea_popescu: shit mike_c he has a point. take "36335cazallaOgNasty52014-08-10 10:18:57-1" on http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=cazalla&sign=ANY&type=SENT , not present in http://www.btcalpha.com/wot/user/cazalla/
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Seriously. One little threat they call crazy and all of a sudden it comes out no one but Hearn supports Gavincoin while The core devs seem to reveal in turn the never actually thought much on the future.
mircea_popescu: if this isn't disarray i have nfi what is. these people don't even have a forum, a venue where to discuss their shit.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo jesus christ the deluge of verbiage from these people. that two line call-out in #bitcoin-dev has produced almost a million lines of derpage, on irc, on reddit, on personal blogs, everywhere.
cazalla: mike_c, actually a lot more is missing.. on bitcoin-otc i've received 19 ratings (WoT Browser shows 15) and sent 25 on bitcoin-otc (WoT Browser shows 16), these are old ones which i assume should've been included in the snapshot
mike_c: hm, that's not good. they aren't on the b-a page?
cazalla: seems to have dropped a few ratings i made prior to to april 2014 as well
mike_c: cazalla: yeah.. note that it is a 'since' timestamp. http://w.b-a.link/user/cazalla/
cazalla: the one i left thestringpuller, it's dated nov 2014 but i believe that was when i first gave him a rating
BingoBoingo: In which Hearn gets specially singled out for being a weirdo again http://sourceforge.net/p/bitcoin/mailman/message/34090559/
asciilifeform: itanic is a collectible
asciilifeform: one of the cleanest, most well-documented (fit in a thin paperback book - whole fucking machine, not only cpu)
mircea_popescu: no, computing. "the only way to run a computer today is with an intel itanium running debian"
asciilifeform: (vliw is a bitch to compile for)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: microshit was unable to bake a reasonable compiler for itanic. hence it sank.
asciilifeform: and the worst architecture i've ever had the misfortune to work with. just about worse than x86 from a fits-in-brain perspective
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, is my discussion of water captive in a glass part of the 7 ?
assbot: Introducing the Bitcoin ISP on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1FUzVsq )
asciilifeform: the secret to killing intel (in the sense of crafting a replacement which pushes the bits -that actually need pushing- at competitive speed at competitive cost) is to ditch x86 and even unix, all the way to von neumann; then can use si fab processes circa 1994 or so
asciilifeform: intel has nothing remotely resembling a serious enemy
asciilifeform: (and, one could note, was shot with a very small pistol and will be thrashing around for quite some time to come)
