mircea_popescu: kakobrekla for a moment there i had a vision of a tiny dog pack coursing for mice over a tiny field.
nubbins`: i don't think he realizes you can silkscreen on things other than t-shirts
mircea_popescu: "You are claiming to be an artisin silkscreener? never new there was such a thing. In that case, i am also an ARTISAN dishwasher, well when my wife is mad anyways. Oh and an Artisan snow shoveler as i have decades of experience with that too. I mean, as long as we are making up names for professions." << you're screwed nubbins`. you know how many times ima link to this ? do you ? DO YOU ? :D
kakobrekla: joints too i hear.
mircea_popescu: "^ This is a wood lathe, this is how i take square things and make them round." lmao that thread's so adorable.
undata: ahoy! I'll probably have a prototype working on testnet this evening or the next
STRML: Not much I can do about that. I can get our CEO on here at some point in the near future
STRML: I completely understand what you're getting at
mircea_popescu: but the usual "hey i made a company which is a website which makes claims which are either trivially falsified or not provable because reasons", well...
mircea_popescu: which is why i said "depends to what". if you come in and say "hi guise, remember that problem with the derivatives ? check out this solution i figured out!!!"
STRML: My partners are much more tuned into finance and the Bitcoin scene than I am, I handle the web aspects of the service
STRML: mircea_popescu: Just wanted to say that I appreciate what you do, I didn't realize you were behind MPEx
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: Seems to be an especially strong week for drama. I anticipate Moon.
mircea_popescu: "Last Thursday, I criticized the Linux community for continuing to support and center a leader with a years-long, documented history of unrepentant abusive behavior, someone who has actively and systematically nurtured a hostile, homogeneous technical community, and someone who has long actively chased people from marginalized groups out of open source."
mircea_popescu: dude i have one of those. I used it recently to fix a door
mircea_popescu: https://i.imgur.com/K0g0N4kl.jpg ahahaha wut. THAT is the proof ?
mircea_popescu: "How many times you look at it. It was clearly carve by a 40 to 60 watts co2 laser. " << i'm with him. looks just about right.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i have nfi what posseses someone to take a perfectly valid product and pretend it's something else.
mircea_popescu: oh i see. it'd better be some sort of "leave britny alone!!!1" thing.
mircea_popescu: no, that it doesn't. my suspicion is, as far as i'm personally concerned, grounded mostly in the fact that you had no idea that, for instance, mpoe covered ~30k btc worth of derivative losses without "sociualising". this in 2013.
danielpbarron: i didn't realize he had such a reputation in here! I mostly know about him from when i used to idle in -otc
danielpbarron: "Blazedout commissioned a $14,000 art piece. I shipped it first and he followed through with payment as promised." << LOL, Blazedout419 was the sucker?
STRML: But I am happy to enter the WoT
STRML: Just because I haven't spent much time on this particular IRC channel doesn't mean that I, and by extension my company, is untrustworthy
STRML: I believe we're a breath of fresh air in the derivatives space, which is dominated by players who barely understand derivatives to begin with
STRML: I understand, the majority of our experience is in our engine author who wishes to remain unnamed
mircea_popescu: ah, i clicked the about but nothing happened. js issue i guess.
STRML: We are a derivatives exchange for investors and speculators who are serious about the products they trade. I could give you the whole pitch but I don't want to spam the channel :)
nubbins`: i meant the craft of lasering things, perhaps in a booth at the mall
nubbins`: anyway, poor kid will learn his craft over time. i guess
nubbins`: i :0'd last time i had to buy one
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller not much need for that to be a rumour. obviousness is obvious, i dun think anyone doesn't know they are.
nubbins`: i know!
nubbins`: i got drawn in by his insistence on obfuscating the fact
mircea_popescu: nubbins` tbh i think it's forcing a point. anyone buying whatever on puffery is stuck.
nubbins`: i'm in read-only mode in that thread from now on, it's too rich
STRML: Great, I'll check the docs
mircea_popescu: i know i sort-of considered having something done when he was first brought up but dropped after actually looking at w/e it was at the tgime.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i dun think anyone who a) isn't mentally retarded and b) looked at any item more than cursorily failed to realise it's a computer etch.
mircea_popescu: i lulzd.
BingoBoingo: Well somewhere I think someone brought up a govt agent suspecting Fatty was also Thermos
mircea_popescu: who is generally stupid and lazy, and i doubt teh story will stick, but hey. angry narcissists.
BingoBoingo: Well of course. They probably don't have a giant folder with the whole SEC file. I wouldn't put it past them to have a friend who happens to be a government secretary somewhere.
BingoBoingo: I mean with the plantation slaves... I mean University Student Athletes... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1932265/
jurov: i know several people who ended up running webserver on windows because "under linux we could never get everything working right, admin always fixing something"
mircea_popescu: note i was not talking about web experts.
mircea_popescu: "The merely bad experience is that as a result of this I had occasion to use journalctl (I normally don't). More specifically, I had occasion to use 'journalctl -l', because of course if you're going to make a bug report you want to give full messages. Unfortunately, 'journalctl -l does not actually show you the full message."

mircea_popescu: that's a dangerous path to take. because "screw you bitch, i can sit in a chair and fly a desk too."
mircea_popescu: i guess it's time for cazalla to get a ten page wikipedia article in all teh languages.
mircea_popescu: i guess hauling all those submarines in helicopters in boats in trains arrangement for securitah has its disadvantages. can't move fast enough
mircea_popescu: strangely, he also seems unaware of teh obama charlie hebdo blunder. i dunno when the us was as politically isolated in its past 1848 history as the time when everyone was in paris except obama. putin was there for chrissakes.
mircea_popescu: but in any case, i'd love to see the math by which russia produces oil at a profit when it's $25 a barrel.
mircea_popescu: i suppose that's the definition of bias. "agreeing with others in the parts where they agree with you."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform re orlov : my very biased opinion is that "look, a collection of interesting facts and assorted insanities. the facts i recall reading coupla weeks ago in trilema."
xanthyos: ooh i figured it out
danielpbarron: idk if it matters since it doesn't sound like there is a need to translate from portugese to english, but i know a guy fluent in both languages
assbot: OK /CoinFireBlog I've made sure that GAW article is saved on wayback machine, and I've kept a copy as well. Complete BS.
danielpbarron: "I think its perfectly usable for people who are comfortable with bitcoin, but aren't developers or are tech-savvy. You could crowdfund, you know, me and my friends go to a concert and we've got to 'group buy' concert tickets, or group buy a laser tag day or something." Hearn on his decentralized kickstarter turd
nubbins`: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=7CnYLnSx
BingoBoingo: I dun know/remember. Just something It's done
davout: fluffypony: "well I guess his reputation is also KASPUTIS." <<< kek
Elio19: Well i guess thats "almost cool"
fluffypony: oh yes I forgot that changed
Elio19: I thought that if i authed with gribble and sent "!up" to the bot that i would get voice
fluffypony: well I guess his reputation is also KASPUTIS.
davout: "Thus, SA Der-Yeghiayan had noted that a website registered to Mr. Karpeles had a “wiki” page on it (i.e., an FAQ page) that was created using the same version of “wiki” software – “Mediawiki” – used to create the “wiki” page on the Silk Road website."
BingoBoingo: mats: I'll take a look.
mircea_popescu: i can see why he wrote it. wtf is wired doing publishing it
felipelalli: BingoBoingo: nice to hear that, I'll put my brain to work.
BingoBoingo: I simply lack the nuances of the language to do a great portugese translation. Research would be incredibly welcome though.
felipelalli: BingoBoingo: thank you, but I was already discouraged enough. I'll think of a way to contribute, I loved the style of qntra.net - and would like to see some original research on it. Do not know why it fascinates me, but the amount of misinformation in the world of bitcoin is incredible, it's hard to trust something without having checked ourselves.
assbot: Why I Hope Congress Never Watches Blackhat | WIRED ... ( http://bit.ly/1zt3jUn )
mats: http://www.wired.com/2015/01/why-i-hope-congress-never-watches-blackhat/
BingoBoingo: felipelalli: but maybe you are right, spend money on it can be waste of money. maybe a simple survey can give me the results I need. << Prolly do it in the way that keeps your expenses on this down.
BingoBoingo: felipelalli: Can I write an article in Portuguese to qntra.net? Someone can translate it to English to me and I make the final review? << It is far easier to clean up iffy English tham translate.
coderwill: I'm in the early phases of setting up an exchange here in Costa Rica.
coderwill: Cool, I remember a few weeks ago arriving on it a couple of months ago - I think Wences Cesares of Xapo mentioned it on Twitter.
mats: > Damn hackers! I want to hack them all (my stepdad once set a virus to this dork that was bragging bout his hacking skills, the virus causes your computer to wipe itself cleab each time it turns on or off! Dont worry, he only sent it to that one guy)
mircea_popescu: i actually helped slant a couple.
assbot: Logged on 21-10-2014 01:30:35; asciilifeform: 'As progressively dumber programmers build progressively more complex systems we will see more of this kind of attempt to paper over coding mistakes with lawyers, sanctions, policies, and laws. Hollywood and the RIAA are usually the most successful at getting the government to do their bidding. Thus I predict that one day Disney will have a Web site where you can buy access to any of their movies.
mats: i think attendees were dazzled by the reproduced ANT tools
mats: although James Forshaw's talk was pretty good. i can't seem to find slides online...
mats: From the pre-close panel at Shmoocon yesterday: "We used to be smarter than the Feds, it used to be a joke, how dumb they are. The NSA and FBI have a lot of smart people working for them now, I think it may be the other way around these days."
mircea_popescu: felipelalli: I want to hire a statistical company to make a distributed properly research. << there's perhaps better uses to that capital, whatever you'd be spending. seeing how the value of asnwering the "what does brazil think" on whatever topic isn't really that great. i guess it could be a useful demonstration of methodology etc, but that needs some sort of a plan, won't do much as just a shot in the dark.
mircea_popescu: i get that part
mats: http://i.imgur.com/pkzx0Mt.jpg << kek. reenlisted in a GameStop.
mircea_popescu: felipelalli: But I want to write it in Portuguese to someone translate it to me to English, and I make the final review just to see if anything was misundertood. << this is a non-starter. the person doing the translation can just write their own stuff directly. you're not famous or anything, why'd you imagine someone'd be bothered translating you specifically ?
mircea_popescu: mike_c: i believe english is strongly encouraged. from what I remember when the guy wanting to write in italian showed up. << well, nobody speaks italian. brazil speaks portuguese. i don't directly see a problem with it, if the coverage's any good.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: and does the cooking too << i remember that part.
mircea_popescu: i mean yugoslovakia
gribble: The20YearIRCloud was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 6 weeks, 0 days, 5 hours, 5 minutes, and 46 seconds ago: <The20YearIRCloud> Big thing has been to have em look over all the financial documents as we're filing taxes for 2014 next month and I didn't want to submit till they had a good idea of it.
felipelalli: I have to go, nice to meet you guys. hugs from Brazil.
felipelalli: waste of money if I hire that company.
mike_c: i'll give mats a brazilian hugs
kakobrekla: then i wont hug you
felipelalli: but maybe you are right, spend money on it can be waste of money. maybe a simple survey can give me the results I need.
felipelalli: kakobrekla: thank you! I'll try it.
kakobrekla: i think he is saying 1 brazilian is enough
felipelalli: no. If I go to slams it will be one result, if I go to downtown, another totally different.
