nubbins`: i know for
a fact that my wide-format Epson doesn't
punkman: I've been wondering how I'd go about finding
a non-shit printer
punkman: W.Gibson has
a fun bit about "the ugliest shirt in the world" which allows the wearer to not be recognized by CV systems
Adlai: doesn't need much fiddling, just checksum the federated database into
a deed
Adlai: this is
a good point... even if each wot rating is signed, this can be
a false friend - what if you're not looking at the latest version of the ratings? if only we had some way of achieving trust-minimized consensus...
danielpbarron: if
a rating is false, let the user speak up about it
danielpbarron: bitstein, thestringpuller why should we be signing everything but the kitchen sink? you shouldn't use assbot's return as gospel -- the WoT lets you know who and what to ask about
a person before doing business
nubbins`: incidentally, i tried to sell some gold on the forums
a while back, no takers
nubbins`: have bought Au from
a couple of the above
funkenstein_: that's right "the gold market" is
a single entity which works towards being "less manipulated".
funkenstein_: "The gold market marched into the 21st century Friday with the launch of
a new electronic platform designed to make the daily market price benchmark less vulnerable to manipulation."
assbot: Logged on 10-02-2015 01:46:55; nanotube: <nanotube> hey, sorry for delay in reply, been busy, still busy. just to give you
a quick preview, i'm thinking/working on implementing everything-signed, using
a framework sort of like this:
http://bitcoin-otc.com/newsite/rate.php thestringpuller: bitstein: yes we know there isn't
a federated system yet :P
bitstein: Is there
a reason WoT ratings are not required to be GPG signed?
nubbins`: (given that free advice can only cost $0, the set of possible costs for said free advice is
a zero ring, which precludes the set from being
a field, which means that division by zero is not required to be undefined, which means that your assertion that it's infinitely more valuable is, at least superficially, true)
Adlai back when he worked in
a preseed startup used to joke that he got
a 20x raise each week and
a 25% monthly bonus
nubbins`: please tell me that this isn't the case, and if it is, please tell me that you're not just upset at your girlfriend because she called you
a moron for making this decision
danielpbarron: the slower node spams its debug.log with lines that have nothing to do with validating
a block
Adlai:
a few darknet markets have used such
a system too, which raises the question of why anyderpy used any of the markets that didn't
mircea_popescu: still, more pgp flowing through the tubes is
a net gain
danielpbarron: 21G .bitcoin/ << unless 0.5.3.1 takes up less space, this is
a little over half way
brendafdez: yes, but sometimes it's not worth it. Having to cross the river to send
a letter with "an object inside" to
a recepient in Argentina would be hilarious. That time they insisted letters were paper only. :D
brendafdez: punkman I've had all kind of bad experiences with the post, from them stealing from
a box of alfajores I was shipping abroad, to them refusing to send
a letter (even though it was within weight and size limits) because "there was an object inside" (!!). Long delays is the success scenario.
mircea_popescu: it's either
a txn that for mysterious reasons din't get to propagate or i can't imagine what else. anyway, i'm on it, give it
a day.
winner1: hello, I won
a bet, but I have not been paid.
trinque: I have
a CMS for making restaurant ordering web-apps
trinque: because the part of me that stopped identifying with this place in the first person singular hasn't had enough of
a conversation with the second and third person
trinque: holy fuck I shall lay waste to everything in
a five mile radius
trinque: I said Lena Dunham should be burned alive and my erstwhile significant other had
a meltdown
mircea_popescu: "The goal or problem is checking the balance of
a ton of addresses without having to import them with keys without having to run
a linux machine, without having to run anything in python, just plain and simple copy
a list of addresses"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "I have no idea what he's been doing for
a living in the years elapsed since then - if anything, then definitely not anything related to Bitcoin as
a free entreprise. Maybe he's working
a garden or teaching yoga. Maybe he's earning his living as
a Bitcoin expert in the pay of those who do not wish to see Bitcoin free entreprise generally, and certainly not to the degree displayed by the free world. Whichever of these i
brendafdez: The first park to use the name was Coney Island's second major amusement park, designed by Frederic Thompson and Elmer "Skip" Dundy and opened in 1903. They named the park after the spaceship in their Pan-American Exposition ride "
A Trip to the Moon".[1][2]
brendafdez: Vexual in
a way it does refer to the moon. From derpipedia: Luna Park is
a name shared by dozens of currently operating and defunct amusement parks that have opened on every continent except Antarctica since 1903.
Vexual: who knew aregenrti had
a luna park?
trinque: it's
a fucking starting point
mircea_popescu: turns out you weren't actually hating "the christians", but merely grew up in
a restrictive environment where you could never talk to one.
trinque: mircea_popescu: they at least have
a semi-coherent set of symbols to reason with!
trinque: all my money's coming from tejas; there's
a reason for that
☟︎ trinque: nothing would fill me with greater joy than seeing
a place like texas thrive while the rest of the insane federal system rots
assbot: I created Bitproof because my mother thinks GPG is
a supermarket. RT /qntra: Boost VC Embraces Child Founded Start Up
http://t.co/FAWTczzi0o ben_vulpes: <decimation> I just thought of
a brilliant anti-'area denial' (to usg term) weapon system. imagine
a small turboprop uav ... that can drop its wings and turn into kerosene rocket << why bother with expensive turbomachinery? just use solid propellants...
☟︎ trinque: weakness has become
a social competition of its own
trinque: doesn't really bother me to not have
a mask, as the firewall on the thing doesn't have open ports
trinque: ok, that's registered; nobody was responding in #freenode about
a mask, so I'll try again later
decimation: ^ that was
a juicy line so that the median 'la times reader' would know that these guys were nutso
decimation: this la times guy thought he was writing
a 'takedown'
decimation: no I think it's
a misspelling for 'other'
decimation: isn't necessarily bad, she says, noting that dinosaurs became oil deposits -- and depletion of the ozone layer,
a point with which some mainstream scientists agree."
decimation: "Consider the environmental movement. On the surface, it appears to be
a collection of "wonderful, benevolent people trying to help and save the Earth," Koehle tells the campers, who range in age from 13 to 20.In reality, she says, it's
a plot to unite humanity against
a common enemy, pollution, and lay the groundwork for
a world regime.Koehle urges students to ignore doomsday hype about-such things as endangered species - extinction
mircea_popescu: "He should consider himself fortunate that he hasn’t yet been targeted for
a drone strike." fortune has nothing to do with it. the bumbing us navy lacks the operational capability to carry out drone strikes where he lives.
decimation: he was
a journalist before he had enough and joined the 'john birch society'
decimation: moldbug has
a quote that implicates FDR in covering for the soviets for Katyn
mircea_popescu:
a fine example of the insanity is the life and times of one little, aka max hardcore
nubbins`: were noriega's crimes
a $200 fine in panama?
mircea_popescu: r his death: "Neville was
a Radical to the end of his days. It makes my blood boil when I see his ‘Tory’ and ‘Reactionary’ outlook taken as
a matter of course because the Whirligig of Politics made him leader of the Tory party."
mircea_popescu: What
a Chamberlain government would have done had there been no war in 1939 will never be known, but an election was due in 1940, and the manifesto proposals outlined by the Conservative Research Department embraced family allowances and the inclusion of insured persons' dependants in health cover—about half the advances usually attributed to Beveridge. As Lady Cecily Debenham wrote to Chamberlain's widow, Anne, afte
mircea_popescu: "No doubt the Jews aren't
a lovable people; I don't care about them myself; but that is not sufficient to explain the Pogrom."
nubbins`: since its expenditure represents
a 4-digit net loss
nubbins`: given its face value of $50,
a gold maple leaf definitely is impractical for use as currency

a krugerrand, which was
a circulation coin

a pain in the ass
