mircea_popescu: it's made like a gauntlet for the reader, that's for sure.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski well it sounds just like a pete d!
BingoBoingo: I'm just surprised at the outrage over calling a woman who traded sex for advantage an applicable label
mircea_popescu: doesn't this disparity seem scandalous ? whence the gall to "punish" a cia boss.
assbot: reddit_sucks2 comments on Charlie Shrem gets 2 years in prison for selling bitcoins while former CIA director gets 2 years probation for telling a whore national security secrets. ... ( http://bit.ly/1d99XG8 )
mircea_popescu: well if they make it so it can also be accessed without a card, i'm probably getting an infinity of them.
gribble: artifexd was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 day, 15 hours, 45 minutes, and 22 seconds ago: <artifexd> I'm comfortable calling it a review. Not just of what it is but what it was and how it got to where it is.
mike_c: yeah. for the main table (7500 users), I'll make a separate page with the whole list.
assbot: The Fetlife Meatlist - Volume V on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1KcNaEz )
mircea_popescu: but it only engages if someone clicks a header. so pretty safe.
mircea_popescu: mike_c from experience, even tables with > 10k entries are sortable. just takes a sec.
mike_c: re: empty comments, some ratings don't have a comment.
mike_c: mircea_popescu: yes, I'll add JS sorting to the tables that fit on a page.
williamdunne: Thats a great analogy. I like that.
mircea_popescu: the guy had issues. if you think you can swallow a tractor, then by the same head you will probably also think you can swallow it underwater.
gribble: justusranvier was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 28 weeks, 1 day, 13 hours, 57 minutes, and 9 seconds ago: <justusranvier> On the plus side, this arrangement means I can run Skype in a virtualized sandbox that's far away from my real desktop
mircea_popescu: " and in a memorable email exchange said it was investigating exchange MPEx owner Mircea Popescu over the sale of popular gambling site SatoshiDICE for over $11.5m in bitcoin."
assbot: How to become a good poker player, translated. | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... ( http://bit.ly/1KcKq9Y )

pete_dushenski: i've received the last few from qntra, but missed a few before that..
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski also in the news, you didn't send a pingback.
mircea_popescu: a sadness is me!
williamdunne: pete_dushenski: Oh, and mike did a new trust thingy

williamdunne: Kinda pathetic if you've been intending to do something for a couple of years and it still hasn't happened (assuming the only constraint is time)
williamdunne: Yeah not exactly a big software job. Can be done in a few hours if that
mircea_popescu: otherwise it could probably happen in a day.
mircea_popescu: in fairness, prolly a lot more crucial here than in -otc, so some sort of decoupling was probably unavoidable.
mircea_popescu: wot is a crucial bit of infrastructure, and so it's watched and protected accordingly.
mircea_popescu: gribble went down at some point. this is rare, but whatever, happens. nanotube was also unresponsive. after a few days in this position assbot got enabled to wot ☟︎
williamdunne: Something about downtime and a vulnerability is what I read on btcalpha but not much detail as to exactly what

williamdunne: BingoBoingo: They connect to a single node, who you would assume is fairly well connected
jurov: no it uses stratum/ssl but that's a tech detail
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's a toy, like any other. people learning and kids are more than welcome to their fun, what.
mircea_popescu: at best a log.
williamdunne: Okay, so from a little reading it does seem that they keep the full unspent TX set. While they can't provide all the blocks to someone who wants everything from the genesis it does seem like a pretty big improvement to me - should see a lot more verifying nodes - no?
mircea_popescu: once people involved start imagining that holding up signs / drinking coffee is relevant to bitcoin, they have somewhat of a problem
mircea_popescu: there isn't anything particularly wrong with the approach, much like there isn't anything wrong with holding up a sign, or drinking a cup of coffee.
mircea_popescu: 'pruning' offers a guarantee that the node won't be able to offer you a block which contains all spent outputs.

williamdunne: Just a hunch
BingoBoingo: Well, a headers first version has already been released
williamdunne: And syncing won't be too effected with headers first, although full sync I guess could take a little longer
williamdunne: BingoBoingo: It could cause some people to start running full nodes who weren't otherwise, don't think it will make a huge difference
BingoBoingo: Yes, let's make syncing even more of a pain
assbot: /orionwl just merged pruning support in /hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash Core! Run a (no wallet) full node with 1.3 GB storage. Thanks to all who contributed.

assbot: Logged on 23-04-2015 21:38:54; fluffypony: btw for any b-a'ers in Europe I'm going to be there for the next month, would love to meet up, or you could come to one of the Monero meetups I'll be presenting at (Brussels on May 19th, Paris on May 21st, Berlin on May 24th) or else I'll be presenting at Bitcoinference in Amsterdam on May 30/31
davout: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-04-2015#1108229 <<< not sure if such a thing even exists, in the same way there's no average value for a chaotic scalar variable ☝︎

mircea_popescu: ah yeah, it's a dead site.
mircea_popescu: er shitty case where women must protect themselves from what boils down to a lack of actual justice."
mircea_popescu: meanwhile "This guy is a rich bored misogynistic scumbag looking to stir shit up. This is CEO-level Trolling. What he's doing is technically legal, and even if it weren't, he has the money to keep it tied up in courts forever if not win outright. Unfortunately the worldwide legal system is run on money rather than justice, and Fetlife HAS tried to take appropriate legal action against him to no avail. This is yet anoth
ben_cash: anyways, meticulously designed. can be carried through pouring rain, and due to the excellent design of the strap mounting points not. a. single. drop. ever. reaches. the. interior.
pete_dushenski: ben_cash whatever lol. link a pic or something if cameras are too complikated.
pete_dushenski: so take a picture of your shoe
ben_cash: might as well take a picture of my shoe
pete_dushenski: ben_cash a cool. got a pic ?

asciilifeform: vpn over dns to a real box, say
asciilifeform: ''tis a privilege to pee! you come down and pay the fee!' (tm) (r)
trinque: I bet you've got a nice wifi splash page in that jar
mircea_popescu: ssh is a privilege not a right!
pete_dushenski: ben_cash what's a 'diplomat' other than a well-connected wine drinker ?

I'm never going to be happy with the way I look or sound. I'm never going to have enough friends to satisfy me. I'm never going to have enough love to satisfy me. I'm never going to find a man who loves me. I'm never going to be happy. Either I live the rest of my life as a lonely man who wishes he were

mircea_popescu: like it's hard to find a lithe feminist.
ben_cash: anyways, burned the last pesos on a bottle of trumpeter
trinque: maybe it's a way to sort of sneak by the normal game of trying to get female attention
