asciilifeform: at least i assume the rifle was designed to be somewhat annoying to uncripple, considering, iirc, that this was required in usa
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: as a reverse engineer, i find examples of 'crippleware designed to be annoying to fix' conceptually interesting wherever i find it
BingoBoingo: Well m16 is subtype of AR and I was thinking the "lower reciever" which is legally the gun and not the bolt
mircea_popescu: i've really not kept up with it. maybe not, they're commies.
mircea_popescu: i can scarcely imagine what i would want an old assault rifle for.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: And then this year's http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--scXm37N1--/c_fit,fl_progressive,q_80,w_636/sxfqpmm6ionp6fndxgv8.jpg

mircea_popescu: i'd rather have 10 cops that have a ld50 dose of 3 shooting assailants than 10k cops that basically constitute ballistic sacks.
davout: i guess we should simply send our cops to syria for training instead of our youth
mircea_popescu: lemme dig up what i read. la liberte mebbe
mircea_popescu: legally i never inquired.
davout: i mean legally
davout: i have never looked this up actually
davout: wish i had an ak-47
mircea_popescu: not at all what i mean. consider the difference between say, a carpertner apprentice and a cowboy apprentice, both 15 in 1915.
mircea_popescu: decimation i meant on teh 32 bit support issue :)
mircea_popescu: i dunno. you can get plenty of such assets by simply catching aids.
decimation: I think there's a soft-money aspect here too
mircea_popescu: jurov brings a very interesting question re supporting eulora. we could in principle drop 32 bit support. now, if this were a crypto thing or any such high assurance system i'd never consider it. but it's a game.
mircea_popescu: to implement i mean.
jurov: grrr i so hate spotting typos. and it's in first sentence. ( BingoBoingo see qntra comment )
ben_vulpes: thestringpuller: i'd love to see api endpoints for all of the things too
mircea_popescu: i thought they moved to bay area.
jurov: i suspect bitstamp is in shortage of people who can quickly and reliably set up iron. hence aws
mircea_popescu: i wonder if there should be some sort of tracked or maybe flexible wing roof remover ? like a huge can opener.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i know chicks that principally like the sea/desert. i like forrested hills. you're apparently some sort of scrub bush apache stock. << I imagine mircea_popescu taking the girls out to catch their own mink and fox
assbot: Logged on 09-01-2015 19:42:28; mircea_popescu: i'm paying 2btc (once) in return for a single btc stolen from bitstamp's aws cloud after today. comes with a signed certificate.
mod6: i do kinda wish i could grow a mustasche like those guys in the picture though.
mod6: when your digits start to thaw, they feel like someone hit them with a sledge hammer. not a ton of fun I tell you.
mod6: haha. i love the desert.
mircea_popescu: i know chicks that principally like the sea/desert. i like forrested hills. you're apparently some sort of scrub bush apache stock.
mod6: if Vail, AZ (the city/surrounding area) is named after him, I used to live right by there.
mircea_popescu: i tell you, i look at those guys, i kinda wanna be friends.
mod6: americans today: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/fzVnpapHaX4/maxresdefault.jpg
mircea_popescu: i'm paying 2btc (once) in return for a single btc stolen from bitstamp's aws cloud after today. comes with a signed certificate. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: hey, glad i didn't bet.
ben_vulpes: i'll ask
Apocalyptic: indeed I did
Apocalyptic: I don't think so, not qualified nor time for it
mircea_popescu: for that matter, if i find out the molokization of deedbot v2.0 actually has anything to do with your meddling, i'll negrate you too.
mircea_popescu: i hope i make myself clear.
mircea_popescu: punkman is off the deedbot project after the horrid failure of the past month, and i've only not neg rated him yet because gribblewas off.
mircea_popescu: i hope hje's partenering with kenna to start a moon printing program
gribble: What do you think I am, a shell?
davout: jurov: wrong, i'm nigerian
davout: i'm the richest of my living rool!11
adlai: and i'm among the 50 richest people from my army unit
gribble: I have not seen gribble.
jurov: "i was right all along!!!"
thestringpuller: this is valid point. what constitutes a public resolution source? I may be overthinking. But Bitbets get stricter every year (for good reason).
davout: i dunno lol, i'm just saying you don't need an intermediary to source the resolution data, the data is by definition public, right?
davout: or am i misunderstanding something you're saying here?
thestringpuller: how do you resolve? blockchain.info I personally wouldn't trust as a resolution source
assbot: Logged on 09-01-2015 09:00:04; davout: i'd word the bet "there exists a block > 1m, building on main net, with block index <= ARBITRARY_TRESHOLD , that gets more than 2016 confirmations, in less than a month"
thestringpuller: davout: yea I don't know how to word it. i know how to bet on exchanges going down.
fluffypony: I'll bbiab, have to go shopping
punkman: I think that lib predates blockstream
mircea_popescu: i am a great believer in code analysis myself.
mircea_popescu: i mean, tests, sure, provable code, sure, random tests, sure.
mircea_popescu: i'm sort of pondering creating a "compare openssl / polarssl / blockstream ec implementations" research project
mircea_popescu: anyway, i very much doubt nullc actually has any idea as to what's going on, apart from being in the room when it was explained and now typing words on reddit. and i doubt wuille actually did anything deliberately nefarious there.
mircea_popescu: but i do respect the sort of idiot that will actually go in there and do that sort of thing.
fluffypony: I applaud the test coverage, and I do agree that OpenSSL is shitty, but I don't understand the logic in writing from scratch
mircea_popescu: you know, i despise reddit, and that thing's a fine example, like are many others.
davout: i think it missed the timeframe bit amirite
mircea_popescu: i don't follow ?
assbot: Logged on 07-01-2015 19:12:27; mircea_popescu: i guess ima have to bring an exchange online willy-nilly.
davout: i'd word the bet "there exists a block > 1m, building on main net, with block index <= ARBITRARY_TRESHOLD , that gets more than 2016 confirmations, in less than a month" ☟︎
assbot: Jackson Palmer: I created $20m Dogecoin phenomenon and all I have to show for it is a jar of Nutella ... ( http://bit.ly/1BTbpTG )
mircea_popescu: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/jackson-palmer-year-dogecoin-jar-nutella-all-i-have-show-1478649 << pretty sweet.
BingoBoingo: I mean the US has its own bizzaro EU with Microneia, the Marshall Islands, and Palau
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i forget, what was the bitcoin bowl thing cost ?
BingoBoingo swears a piece on Roger Ver and American emigration law is indeed coming. Looking like it will be the biggest turd I've dropped into qntra's bowl so far.
mircea_popescu: tbh, i dun see what further news can be had on it.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> if that's not the 3rd millenium united states i have no idea what is. << Well also the part where the only chance most USians have to gape in awe at a golden toilet is at the doctor's (or increasingly almost doctor's)
mircea_popescu: if that's not the 3rd millenium united states i have no idea what is.
BingoBoingo: I mean shingles is the perfect disease that hurts bad without threatening life.
mircea_popescu: and i fat least all this embezzled money went into research, you know ? all the idiots that gave themselves zona zooster because "medicine" and "Science" could at least serve humanity.
mircea_popescu: i am deeply amused at how everything's "an allergic reaction" now.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the error is the bizarre notion that headquarters is in the business of doing the shop's job, only they have better tools ?
mircea_popescu: i don't get chemist's complaint.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Maybe? Then again I don't have a community college degree. Maybe I should stick around in the US just long enough to get an Obama degree.
blazeme8: man I have no idea if i still have my key
thestringpuller: i was thinking of the NiN album
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller i dun see why it would have to be fresh.
mike_c: meh. i don't mind replacing. rating shouldn't necessarily follow you forever.
PeterL: wrt pipeline: I thought they were piping it to texas because that is where the refineries are, refineries are there because that is where ports are?
pete_dushenski: since there's no ;;later function, you'll note that i left you a msg in the logs
TomServo: mircea_popescu: Naw, I had just noticed he joined the chan earlier.
nubbins`: hi, looks like i was offline for 2 weeks and am only now noticing :D
BingoBoingo: I actually think this whole fracking/pipeline thing is rather poetic. The United States is literally shattering the country's bedrock to become more like Nigeria.
pete_dushenski: i dunno
mircea_popescu: well actually i don't think it's shameful either.
mircea_popescu: i enjoy reading these articles even if it's the same subject matter all over again,
mircea_popescu: On April 5, DPR wrote: "I've received the picture and deleted it. Thank you again for your swift action."
pete_dushenski: i see where you're going
pete_dushenski: in a way, i suppose that the opposite of an inventor is anonymous...
mircea_popescu: i guess if you're a lesbian ballerina coneisseurette, it's a dildo.
mircea_popescu: i was talking to him lol.
