mircea_popescu: yeah. i guess this calls for a whole new category on trilema.
mircea_popescu: i see guy's still idling here tho
decimation: third choice: make own hardware using fpgas (yes, I remember past fpga threads)
cazalla: thestringpuller, cbf this morning, didn't get to bed till 4am and i'm still a bit tired
thestringpuller: pokemon: i must catch them all
assbot: Logged on 04-01-2015 17:47:10; mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: But... the 3d printed gun dude says burn it all down is an ideology... << i agree. it is.
ascii_modem: i'll point out that it is not hard at all to crap out however much 'illegal1111!' code you want, anywhere on planet, at no risk to your health
ascii_modem: i am quite certain that, e.g., iran, has even more interesting laws. with even stiffer punishments for disobedience. should we all hire iranian lawyers, avoid ending up on heads-off ?
ben_vulpes: not i but a good friend.
adlai: ok, i'll make sure to plug my ears before entering the conference grounds
cazalla: adlai: would qntra be interested in coverage of garza @ btcmiami? <<< i wouldn't ask of you to waste your time doing that, it is already established he is a liar and a bad one at that, no point covering a debate of which lies can be wormed out of
decimation: yeah from what I gather, AOP is kind of a dumbed-down MOP
ben_vulpes: i too, read logs.
ben_vulpes: yes gents i understand all of this
ascii_modem: i happen to own a lispm. and it is (still) for sale.
ben_vulpes: ah i see
ben_vulpes: i just read cpp and overflow mod6's buffer with bad ideas
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> [] well done mod6 an ben_vulpes << pshaw i'm entirely tangent; mod6 does all the heavy lifting.
cazalla: gee, now i'm dreaming about garza, God help me
ben_vulpes: i don't get it either, ascii_modem. who takes drugs into planes in plainly labled "DRUGS" canisters?
ascii_modem: i don't comprehend this "have to decrypt disk" bs. <<< again we can apply above principle. everybody complaining about the disk arse search - stop imagining that you have 'rights' and start apprehending the fact that you are being pursued by maniacs who will eventually like to turn you into a lampshade.
kakobrekla: i dont trust him.
ascii_modem: i'll rub it in for the thick:
ascii_modem: mircea_popescu:asciilifeform: the confucian kingdoms breathe plagiarism like air. <<< "plagiarism", much like "sins of the flesh", is a construction intended to work as a tool for a very peculiar purpose. <<< i spent years working with folks some of whom fit the pattern: 'yes i got phd for washing glassware for advisor, who let me crib, who in turn cribbed from dr xxxxx himself, of the academy of turdiences'
assbot: Logged on 04-01-2015 20:21:44; mircea_popescu: (i mean, prior to becoming bitpay ceo)
mircea_popescu: decimation: re: costco & amex << I suspect amex gives costco a deal (pays them) to force a large percentage of the upper-crust customer-base to have an amex card in their wallet << pretty much how that racket goes yes. ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: it's funny how Gavin is all "I want bitcoin to compete with Visa/Mastercard", when anyone in Payment Processing knows those systems are seriously nigga rigged as is. << nobody expects gavin to say something sensible anymore than they'd expect ronald mcdonald to.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: cazalla: "I helped run plenty of conferences." << no, he has a point. that's exactly how that racket works.
mircea_popescu: (i mean, prior to becoming bitpay ceo) ☟︎
mircea_popescu: decimation: I would like to put in a good word for KnC miner. << so it actually works out to them booking a nominal loss because of spot movement ?
mircea_popescu: "I know the the responsible for the conference, and his integrity is unquestionable."
Naphex: but the bitcoin node is running fine from what i can see https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/nodes/85.9.53.226-8333/
kakobrekla: any bitcoin poker site already struggles for existence or is half dead or completely dead. adding another barrier to the mix i do not need to continue this sentence.
mircea_popescu: it's actually a very good idea, and i'd still like to see it done.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: so due to this thing called new year there is 57 bets waiting resolution. good luck to the mods. << i'd say they did pretty okay! ☟︎
mircea_popescu: well i dunno whose shit he's guarding there
mircea_popescu: i see a bipedal dog.
kakobrekla: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform: kakobrekla: b/c man living as man was meant to << seriously, man was meant to live like that ?! i dunno... < prolly seeing different things in the pic
mircea_popescu: why not ? maybe he's a gimp slaveboi. he certainly looks it. heck, maybe i put it all on weekly powerpoints.
mircea_popescu: i especially loved the "it might have". yeah, and i might have fucked obama in the ass.
mircea_popescu: TomServo: I'm surprised ol' Brucey Bruce isn't parroting the "OMG NK!!1" line. << "Tellingly, the FBI's press release says that the bureau's conclusion is only based "in part" on these clues. This leaves open the possibility that the government has classified evidence that North Korea is behind the attack. The NSA has been trying to eavesdrop on North Korea's government communications since the Korean War, and it's rea
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: kakobrekla: b/c man living as man was meant to << seriously, man was meant to live like that ?! i dunno...
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: Why does my brother pretend he has not the slightest bit of racism in him yet when he moves to the city chooses a Bosnian neighborhood over a black neighborhood? <<< i can see a few reasons right off.
mircea_popescu: "I learned a valuable lesson here though. Don’t trust .gitignores and gems like Firago for keeping your data safe,"
thestringpuller: ^- i partially think this is kako's way to condition us to stop using the world amazing
mircea_popescu: Pierre_Rochard: Hi, I was starting to miss this place << preach it sistar!
mircea_popescu: i imagine so.
mircea_popescu: i guess.
thestringpuller: I think cazalla was waiting for more news, and maybe we all forgot?
mircea_popescu: i guess vi + bash is a sort of retarded man's emacs.
mircea_popescu: (i dun really emacs either)
mircea_popescu: was a funny exercise in "so i shouldn't make emacs easier to use for the people already using it because this will lower the barrier to entry for idiots and ruin the party ? what are you, insane ?"
mircea_popescu: adlai i was just discussing teh principle involved.
thestringpuller: adlai sorry, seems I'd have to dig through some socialist propaganda to say something socialist. its surprisingly hard to come up with something
mircea_popescu: i just gave the girls some penis.
thestringpuller: uh, i believe all people should be given everything equally
mircea_popescu: oh i see.
adlai: the latecomers will likely lose wherever they go, i'm less focused on making it easier for them, more on making it easier for users #3-10
adlai: please do, i'm typing up another answer attempt meanwhile
mircea_popescu: i can readily construct a scenario where it harms, if it helps.
adlai: why not? i've written something useful, i'm trying to make it more useful, and i _believe_ (ie, an opinion more grounded in emotion than evidence) that the right thing to do is share this
adlai: and if morality is part of the question... deep down, i'm one of those software freedom zealots. not quite to the point of GPLing everything i write, but yes to the point of sharing my work.
mircea_popescu: adlai ok but i dunno how this relates to discussion
kakobrekla: i havent used any exchange with api for over a year
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: But... the 3d printed gun dude says burn it all down is an ideology... << i agree. it is. ☟︎
adlai: kakobrekla: i'd say you want at least 100x the exchange's minimum order size
adlai: well, i do think that an oligarchy is better than a monarchy, if that's what the question is
adlai: i'm not proposing to lower it to the ground, scalpl works quite badly on small accounts, and even with the usability changes i'm imagining, it'll be easy to footgun without either my help or some level of understanding on behalf of the shooter
mircea_popescu: i dun see the obviousness and hence the inquiry.
mircea_popescu: nothing at all. (note that i use "moral" properly, not in the bastardized form common among the plethora of would-be stalins without the ballsack.)
adlai: you could point out that i've fallen short of pure greed by not accepting investment, paying dividends, and retaining some fee as a personal profit
adlai: right. if i get a well-capitalized account profiting from this, what's morally wrong with that?
mircea_popescu: i don't per se care what yu do, it's a moral discussion.
adlai: who says i'm not doing both at once?
mircea_popescu: on the 0 1 infinity scale i readily see why 1 rather than 0, i just don't grok why infinity rather than one.
adlai: not everybody, there are plenty of other places to put money; but it's reached the stage where more people are interested in using this than i'd like to hand-hold through the -entire- setup. (this is a very low number of people, i'm not good at customer support...)
mircea_popescu: i don't follow the logic of how it would be useful "in general".
adlai: requiring my magic touch is a sort of "job security", but i'd rather get paid to write new code than configure old apps
mircea_popescu: the one thing i enjoy alongside redditard butttears of impotence is glaring bagging officer not comprehending why he has to bag my groceries.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: who somehow lives off their tears <<< i do live off their tears.
mircea_popescu: i gotta say lol...
adlai: chinese exchanges are probably next, although i'd like to do repay some technical debt first
adlai: no, i'm just improving its abstractions to accomodate new exchanges' quirks; and i did this a little carelessly, crashing the one bot. so i'm trying to setup methods in the other bot so it updates to the new code cleanly
mircea_popescu: adlai let me give you an example of what i mean. do you know who was the first person to speak german in israel after the war ?
adlai: hmm i'm not that socialist, i've probably miscommunicated
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: iirc, it was designed by a woman. i won't psychiatrize on this point, but let's see what mircea makes of it! << i dun get it, so what if a woman designed it ?
mircea_popescu: and from there, via warriorforum and the nerve centers of "i failed local college business school" braindamage... it's in every confidence scam on the webs.
mircea_popescu: http://i.imgur.com/8rwYupE.png etc in the same vein.
mircea_popescu: http://i.imgur.com/yeLcKn8.png << i lolled moar.
mircea_popescu: i lolled.
mircea_popescu: but yeah, for the sake of fairness and balance : i dun recall ever having been hassled in any airport for any reason, except guatemala.
mircea_popescu: i was half expecting the customs say something, but they didn't.
mircea_popescu: last time i flew i carried something like 38 encrypted disks.
mircea_popescu: i guess my mistake here is to imagine the problems of poor people are relevant / the problems of people.
mircea_popescu: i dun care what words are coming out of their heads.
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't decrypt jack if they sat on their head. what the fuck is this, the future or some shit /
mircea_popescu: i don't comprehend this "have to decrypt disk" bs.
kakobrekla: srs i need meat to live.
mircea_popescu: "i won't interrupt this sketch for a pound."
mircea_popescu: punkman: if Satoshi appears and says hey guys I lost the key to 250k coins, how much would the price go up? << wouldn't have any appreciable short term effect.
