ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> [02:37:56] kakobrekla: he is just caught in a local pain minimum. <<< kako is like our blind slovenly prophet. he knows teh truths! << blind somalian
i thot ;)
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BUT
I WORK REALLY HARD! << But it stabilized S.MPOE
mircea_popescu: davout: BingoBoingo:
i really like your articles <<<
i agree, the man's showing real talent.
ascii_modem:
i still want to learn how they intend to keep dpr from mouthing off in the cage
ascii_modem: how come the fbi is this impotent ? << because it is slated for replacement with a new gendarmerie.
i thought we went over this
mircea_popescu:
i can use my bitcoin to pay for a hit on obama. one can't even use his dollars in lumps larger than 10k, we don't even get to discuss the content because the form already trips us up.
mircea_popescu: "
I want to know how this scamming company are finding out the reservation numbers, the dates, the contact details, there's a lot of private information there," she said.
assbot: Logged on 22-12-2014 07:07:40; fluffypony: thestringpuller: what's lol about that? reasonable use of an unused HTTP code, and
I don't think that there's anything wrong with the plugin they've developed
adlai: garzacoin shilling is getting quite intense, though.
i've even met irl paycoin shills at a local meetup, and it's sad how clueless they are of their role in the larger scam (or sad how they can't get a decent stage acting gig, and have to do this shit instead)
mircea_popescu: "Because OpenSSL gently handles leading zero bytes in a private key,
I'm quite sure that a correction of the EC key encoding has no impact."
mircea_popescu: decimation: it would probably be okay for dictating an email or whatever << this mostly exposes the unfounded belief that coding is for men while emails is for women. in point of fact, adding an extra byte error in some derpy code is irrelevant. for one thing, it would not be the only one. for another thing, it's just code. meanwhile,
i shudder at the thought of byte errors in my emails.
mircea_popescu: undata: mats: was there some more specific strategy with the brick than "fuck this wrist..." ? <<
i also think the guy had the right idea. "when confronted with bullshit, escalate."
mircea_popescu: he succeeded as an easy money usg moocher, which is
i suppose something he justifies to himself as "being an expert in a later version of the world"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes "To some extent, yes.
I spent almost a decade investing in early stage startups, and curiously enough protecting yourself against obsolete beliefs is exactly what you have to do to succeed as a startup investor." << yes, you miss the part where he never succeeded as a start-up investor.
mircea_popescu:
i'd watch that, and that's the first entertainment sony ever made that
i'd watch.
cazalla: mircea_popescu,
i can't discount the chance you served that up specifically to my ip, who knows eh
mircea_popescu: decimation: asciilifeform:
I doubt there will be a 'day of reckoning' w.r.t. tor. it will just turn off and the derps will move on << pretty much exactly.
cazalla: well,
i always wanted to be a farmer!
mircea_popescu: the fbi as it currently stands has not the werewithal to extract itself from a paper bag. and
i mean that literally, if
i kidnapped them all and dropped them in rural kansas they'd prolly never make it back to headquarters.
mircea_popescu:
i mean, seriously. what agency in the history of that business would ever, under any circumstances, make such a ridiculous blunder ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: BitBet mixer is why
I thought prop stakes were refunded minus fee << that's like advanced class.
mircea_popescu: "hi,
i had my tits done at your clinic two weeks ago but my husband left me for a younger woman anyway so
i'd like a refund now because you didn't provide a service".
mircea_popescu:
i suppose if there wasn't an obamacare "you don't have to pay your own medical bills" the us consumer'd "have come to expect" that he only pays if the surgery/treatment is successful.
mircea_popescu:
i suppose providing a service doesn't count as providing a service except in those cases where the beneficiary is happy with the outcome or something ?
mircea_popescu: crybabi: but
i won't be using bitbet again, charging a fee when you don't provide a service is no way to run a business << o.O
cazalla: none of any interest then
i take it
mircea_popescu: cazalla
i get between a few and a dozen poorly cobbled together "legal threats" each week.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: PeterL: you have to - yes. mr
i-owned-fleanode nsa clerk - no. <<< yes, let him do this, love to see it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: (
i'd love to hear a rationale for it) << people other than nanotube are keeping track of the various scammers trying to use gribble.
Apocalyptic: and probably not that qualified as well,
i'm no programmer in any sense, much less a C++ guru
mod6: no sweat. we're not quite at that point anyway. as
I was eluding to in the Address & ToDo,
I'll update #b-a at some point during the month after we get this other leak sorted.
Apocalyptic: noted,
I don't have that much free time at the moment
mod6: so, well,
i dunno,
i guess "works as designed" or something, but a least do the guy a favor of a reach-around
mod6: yeah, but
i just read too that if you don't set your change outputs, you'll end up sending like a huge tx fee.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla:
i think the main issue is he wont be able to take credit. << omfg the slanders.
mod6:
i'll stay the course on v0.5.3 and what we set out to do in january. will revisit this later in the month as was the plan anyway.
mod6: fair enough. perhaps this is not quite the urgent matter that
I thought it might have been.
mod6: it may not be.
i had a feeling that it is widely used for some reason.
mircea_popescu: honestly
i don't even know that the raw transaction power ranger implementation was ever read by anyone.
mod6:
i might just be dumb though. eheheh.
mod6: probably not.
i was just hoping to grab that stuff, and get it back-ported quickly.
mod6: when trying to back port something
i thought would be as simple as import/dump private keys, it turned out that the changes were indeed far reaching in the code.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: honestly im not sure whats worse, autoddos or autoban. <<
i really don't see much incentive to do anything at this point.
i mean, the ddos guy was moreover useful, for as long as he kept iot up.
i didn't think he's reliable, and he proved that much,so.. whatevs.
PeterL: ;;later tell pete_dushenski hmm, your blog is on scoopbot's list,
I am not sure why it is not shoing up,
I will look into it
mod6:
I'm not sure there is any easy way to back-port the raw tx api
mod6: currently, the plan is to attempt to fix the leak that causes the R.
I. to crash during full block sync. but we might end up rolling forward to version .7 and having to re-implement the 7 patches we currently have.
mod6: ok. just wanted to make sure
I understood :)
mod6: ok,
i haven't looked into the part yet where it has been somehow spotted that the blocks seems to get pulled from one peer, instead of many. if p2p seeds refers to a way to get blocks in more of a torrent fashion,
i agree.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla:
i think the least damaging way is to kick nicks that are idle sing sing-on. asciilifeform: wanna idle for >5 min, get in wot. << yeah.
i can see this, especially as people who wish to simply read logs can just as well read the webpage.
mircea_popescu: mod6
i've been thinking about it, not entirely sure it actually belongs in the core.
mod6: so now it keeps the BDB TX logs down to < 1Mb each, and
I've never seen more than 60 of them in the ~/.bitcoin/database/ dir before being flushed out
mod6: at first,
I just set max locks to 40000, and nothing else, but ended up with liek 265Gb of BDB Tx logs
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem
i just assumed he implemented the "no checkpoints" in the shape of a "set your own, defaults to 1" sort of thing
assbot: Logged on 18-12-2014 22:10:34; mod6: But yeah, it's still has some leaks in there somewhere, as the R.
I. died at least 2 different times from 1->current block, but no more than 3 times. Eitherway, this needs to get resolved. But at least we're headed in the right direction.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony:
I have a ton of cool photos from that adventure << you need to start blogging in serious.
decimation: re: democracy << "Now
I know of only two methods of establishing equality in the political world; every citizen must be put in possession of his rights, or rights must be granted to no one." - M. de Tocqueville
decimation:
I think TI still makes stuff like the msp430
undata:
I had a pentium 3 thinkpad that was a tank compared
undata:
I'm trying to code on a shit-tier lenovo "x1 carbon"
undata: ascii_modem:
I spent a bit of time today researching e-ink displays
decimation:
I recently found f.lux for macs and redshift for linux
mircea_popescu: the lit lcd bs is absolutely insane.
i use brighness at 1-2% on all these lcd things.
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem just the very simple fact that if
i say "a man" then that's that, whereas if you try to show "a man" you won't be able to. which is how most films are shittier than the books they're based on. the forced mistake of having to provide all the data visual requires to work.
decimation: no,
I'm writing about a presentation meant to communicate
decimation:
I often find myself distracted by 'pretty graphics' rather than looking at the content
mircea_popescu: decimation not sure if really >, because
i used to be total shit in geometry, all the chicks doing pretty much an impersonation of elaine with the tyres "saw" things that took me days. nevertheless, it DOES do a lot for reducing one's ability to... be scammed,
i guess. slef scamming especially, where you end up making unfounded assumptions that arew predicated on whatever weird visual crap going on.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu:
I'm not a visual thinker either - at least, never have been described as such. That said, GUIS are nice in certain circumstances.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel
i am fortunate to not be much of a visual thinker.
mircea_popescu: it's not like the us can actually compare with
i dunno, the russians on car pools.
ascii_modem: it parks six rattling toyotas , too. when
i was there
i would have sworn it would land a bomber.
decimation:
I think NASA even made a google-earth knockoff called "world wind" that you can use 'off-line'
decimation:
I think 'high-end gis' types typically use arcgis tools
ascii_modem: from g.earth
i learned the one solitary fact that the yard
i played in as a boy is now a parking lot. boo/hiss.
mircea_popescu: (why would
i give google info ?! not like they're pickig up my intel bills ?!)
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: thanks for explaining. This aside
I must admit
I'm interested in knowing if you've got the 3D earth populated with all sorts of interesting information.
mircea_popescu: or whatever your definition of "enjoy personal interaction is",
i suppose the discussion as to how all that = fucking is too much to meld in here.
mircea_popescu: ok, let me summarize this so perhaps you see it for the transactional (psych term of art) pseudoreasoning
i see there.
gabriel_laddel: <mircea_popescu> gabriel_laddel
i get it
i get it, my point was more along the lines of, nobody can really do this for you, as a "consumer" sort of thing. << So you do all your research by hand? Also, do you have a rotating 3D globe on your computer that allows you to highlight/heatmap known uranium deposits, nuclear reactors, oil reserves, population stats etc.?
undata:
I wonder too if the degradation of the language isn't a major factor in the decline of a civilization.
gabriel_laddel: again, r.e., chair warming. Maybe
I'm the odd one out here, but
I've had the distinct pleasure of interacting with people who
I enjoy seeing on somewhat regular basis.
decimation: yeah
I'm being silly, hopefully mr. spam learned his lesson
