mircea_popescu: so i find that veronique chick as the first source of the ghost vulnerability, im all about to go into a rand as to how see, THIS is the sort of actual women in actual tech
jurov: i need to try it myself
jurov: lobbes: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2015-January/000030.html this i guess
mod6: i think he's trying to make a v6 addr
trinque: lenovo is supposed to be sending me a box to ship it back... I'll unmount and re-mount the usb drive and it'll work fine
punkman: yeah I wonder why I can't find a laptop that doesn't overheat
trinque: then I'll just start bitching about the hardware complexity next
trinque: I could get away with nothing-but-emacs in a vt for most of what I do
trinque: why the fuck for example do I have some daemon running for accessibility
trinque: dunno what chance I have of feeling that I do on say OpenBSD either..
trinque: asciilifeform: I've got 150 packages in world; still have no idea how this system works
trinque: asciilifeform: I'm considering jumping ship to a BSD soon as I feel like it's an informed decision
mircea_popescu: mats: i am disappointed the snow is not piled higher. this is not the apocalypse i was promised! << usg makes a habit to overpromise and underdeliver.
mats: i am disappointed the snow is not piled higher. this is not the apocalypse i was promised!
mircea_popescu: and on that note... i'm off.

mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> i do not know enough about koch to say < i do. he's old. this is a game for men, not for codgers.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> 'the actual rich' as a monolithic whole is, i dare say, a fictional trope as well << what, and i suppose the island of beautiful women doens't exist, either ?!
decimation: I suspect 'rich in bezzlars' will not convey post-usg sovereignty
asciilifeform: i do not know enough about koch to say whether he is likely to become a post-usg sovereign who might conceivably carry out experiments with artificial fucktopias
asciilifeform: to which i answer, today's richest king cannot buy quite a few things that common beggar had a century ago.
asciilifeform: anything i, for instance, might say about the genuinely rich (folks entirely and permanently insulated from economic reality, who can finance wars, etc.) is likely to be laughably wrong - what i know of them is largely like what i know of the wonderful fish that live kilometres below in the sea - that is, stemming largely from inference using physical fact and thirdhand clues
asciilifeform: 'the actual rich' as a monolithic whole is, i dare say, a fictional trope as well
decimation: oil is a terrible store of value - it halved in only a few weeks! it's a good idea though, I'm going to wait for the next generation of chemical energy movement & storage
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that is where we differ. i would live like no man, and i would impale anyone trying.
asciilifeform: if i could live like, e.g., taleb, for 20 years, with the understanding of being impaled after - i would. i don't particularly need being fifty for anything.
BingoBoingo: mats: I'll probably be amenable to assisting though.
mats: BingoBoingo: at a later date, i'd like some assistance with reviewing and rating materials from the courts-circus project. would you be interested?
asciilifeform: what i meant was, someone whose primary avocation is thinking. and yes, it is possible to do this in a forest, in log cabin, like unabomber.
asciilifeform: neh i ought to have been more specific.
asciilifeform: i've never heard of anyone being thrown out for having one as of yet.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm paying 'book bill' that isn't that much lower than mr mold
asciilifeform: back to 'cultured man' - i'd say that living 'life of the mind' in usa is not cheap. regardless of what kind of hero you might be. a dwelling without random bozos sharing it, for instance, is $xxxx/mo.
TheNewDeal: BingoBoingo this definitely is one of the article I was reading > I remember seeing the receptors lined up as a fountain
mircea_popescu: i know very few us men that pick wife.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i doubt the man decided anything in there.
mircea_popescu: i thought we were discussing an abstract model of "the cultured man"
asciilifeform: i have only a faint clue
asciilifeform: mr mold's example was, if i recall, his '300/mo. book bill'
mircea_popescu: most of the women i pick up manage to live their lives and pay their rents without any dotcom gifts or "speculation".
asciilifeform: i'm not in a position to say what he ought to have done instead of, well, what he did.
asciilifeform: decimation: he said what i believe was the truth in that post - ran out of money, given as his winnings from 'dotcom' idiocy were not enough to live an entire life as a cultured man, but only about a decade
decimation: I remember when moldbug put up his first 'begging' post - it was obvious the gig was up
TheNewDeal: hmm it's not looking entirely familiar but I'm going to have to page through it.
mircea_popescu: i am deeply suspicious of segmented audiences.
mircea_popescu: well i only paid attention for a shoirt time and late on
BingoBoingo: Cake http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--_yIi1q34--/c_fit,fl_progressive,q_80,w_636/18unn3fork504jpg.jpg
TheNewDeal: The guy had some of the most advanced discussions on anti-depressants and anti-psychotics that i'd seen before on a blog
TheNewDeal: BingoBoingo do you have any clue what blog I'm talking about? You may have referenced him before
TheNewDeal: I even remember some of the memorabilia on his website that had some catchy pschiatric puns on them
TheNewDeal: I remember someone giving a blog before that was almost always on psychiatric issues
mats: i was under the impression most here believed the fracture of the Internet as it is now is inevitable
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal i agreed because of the item collection.
mircea_popescu: "The system not only pays poor people, it employs lots and lots of almost poor people. I'm not saying this is a good thing, or a desirable thing, I am simply stating a fact. Some of these are direct government jobs (e.g. staff down at the SSI office) and some are pretend private sector jobs. If you're a psychiatrist at an inner city clinic, you may think you're an independent contractor, but you're really working for T ☟︎
decimation: I was talking with a guy who was in korea in the early 90's. at that time, you could easily find someone to custom tailor your entire wardrobe for a low $$ price. he recently returned there and found no one bothers with that anymore
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal yes i am.
TheNewDeal: Somehow that flew over my head, not sure if it was because I'm thinking floor(x), ceiling(x)?
decimation: oh I see duh
decimation: asciilifeform: I suppose just setting the clock based on the timestamp of the last block seen on bootup isn't such a bad idea
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal how about that! i knew katrina was a floor not a top.
mats: I'm disappointed that The Imitation Game didn't go with the murder theory
BingoBoingo: That's a fucking tiny moon http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--_upL2BKv--/c_fit,fl_progressive,q_80,w_636/qjkzwgw6gytdeocsxxod.gif
mircea_popescu: i thought it was being mostly sold to gals.
asciilifeform: hanbot et al : what tinder's doing is removing the basic requirement of... << snore. i'm thoroughly unconvinced that anyone is having any sex that would not be being had otherwise without this proggy
danielpbarron: A woman who checked into a hotel room in Gateshead said she found the words "I'm going to rape you" on the TV screen. Travelodge said it believed someone may have used the TV manufacturer's code to change the settings.
assbot: I built my rabbit a cart and now he delivers me beer! - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1y1l3k7 )
mod6: decimation: i mean the pi versioning.
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> can't say as i get it. either one owns btc or one doesn't. << one either owns real estate or doesn't. where does that leave the teenagers, inhabiting comfortable middle class homes they can't afford, and not even having to suck cock for it, like they will a decade down the road ?
mod6: we're getting close to wrapping up a first cut of this thing. so i want to nail down any changes before we get start to roll one.
mod6: i was pretty set on v0.5.3.1 until ascii tells us that we might not be able to be talk to anything < 0.8 -- which to me seems weird.. because i've fully syncd a dozen times, and done send/receive np
mod6: anyway, i like the kalvin thing. but that'll have to be something to think about later.
assbot: 'Yes, I was a racist' admits Shanley Kane - Breitbart ... ( http://bit.ly/1y1eNJ9 )
BingoBoingo: More on the Pindo that called for Linux to quit Linus http://www.breitbart.com/london/2015/01/21/yes-i-was-a-racist-and-im-mentally-ill-shanley-kane-in-shocking-social-media-meltdown/
ben_vulpes: can't say as i get it. either one owns btc or one doesn't.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i suspect they would even refuse a brick of, e.g., iridium. because it isn't gold, they've never seen it, have no idea of its value nor even whether it's a stable element
asciilifeform: unlike some of the non-usa folks here, i find it entirely plausible that nobody claimed the free coin.
gribble: the20year was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 23 weeks, 5 days, 5 hours, 24 minutes, and 1 second ago: <the20year> i hear they're aiming for a 0.5% APY
trinque: ben_vulpes: eventually is also when I'll have a fully synced blockchain
ben_vulpes: <trinque> #btcd tells me I'll eventually be able to query address balance with just btcd and btcctl... seems like keeping its own count is fine, no? << key word - "eventually"
mircea_popescu: yeah. but that's what i'm saying.
mike_c: i believe it. welcome to life under a thumb.
ben_vulpes: i suppose you people also don't ask to see the cap table, and when told "that's privileged" don't turn around and walk out.
ben_vulpes: <coderwill> there were promises of equity but nothing official that i saw (other than verbal) << how does this fly with you people - verbal contracts for a thing with nothing written. when you sign the paper that says "i will work for thus and such" do you not stink the place up for lack of options?
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> can't use time of last block then << that's where i caught
asciilifeform: that's what i was speaking of.
mod6: i kinda like the notion.
BingoBoingo: <mod6> <+asciilifeform> call it whatever name, but assigning a version equal to ancient phoundation release is foolish. << foolish because of nodes that wont talk with < 0.8, or foolish another reason? i've always detested version numbering because of "marketing" << Propper solution is counting down from 9000
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> it is then tempting to omit ntp entirely... << i have no idea why it'd have been included.
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> it's the only way to do time. << i've been saying there's no such thing as time for a while now, only the length of the longest chain...
phillipsjk: I take it the female population in this channel is low then.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> call it whatever name, but assigning a version equal to ancient phoundation release is foolish. << foolish because of nodes that wont talk with < 0.8, or foolish another reason? i've always detested version numbering because of "marketing"
ben_vulpes: mkay, well i published a patch that bumps to 0.5.3.1, don't know if you saw that
asciilifeform: i'm having it turn red once the drive fills.
phillipsjk: I recommend 2GB or RAM for running a node. sounds like you are trying to get that number down.
asciilifeform: and doesn't have dedicated cores running weird, evil closed-sourced blob at all times. or a defective i/o bridge.
trinque: asciilifeform: ah I glossed over "why more than once"
phillipsjk: I suggest pool.ntp.org for NTP servers that work reasonably often.
asciilifeform: so i'm not averse to simply having it reboot weekly or so
trinque: I've found ntpd to be a pain on such devices; I just cron a call to rdate instead
