xanthyos: now i'm getting spammed from arrl
xanthyos: i paid the 8 dollars to not use it for another decade.
Overand: And yet I'm pretty sure I've done more on the air than you have.
Overand: I'd stick to VHF/UHF/etc if you're talking about medium-throw distance
Overand: When I'm giving an overview, I like to couple that with the tech stuff.
Overand: There are a number of schools for that, but I meant it in the general sense.
Overand: The stuff I'd have known by the time I was 4 or 5 years old if I'd been born right here ~600 years ago
Overand: That's funny, I would have guessed earlier than that, but I suspect the keyserver doesn't lie.
Overand: Yeah, I wonder if there's a timestamp on when it wa submitted to the keyserver
Overand: Anyway, yeah. I'm a tech nerd, abstract musician, primitive skills student, general queerdo.
danielpbarron: i met xanthyos through Overand; he's sorta hackerish or something
Overand: I'm someone who knews (or knew) xanthyos and danielpbarron in meatspace.
Overand: Heh. If this is what you consider the threshold I must to clear to "matter," and I didn't "matter" before, then my worldview continues to be wildly different from yours.
assbot: Logged on 22-12-2014 15:17:18; mircea_popescu: all you weirdos fucking with your sleep i swear...
adlai: fwiw, assuming that the fiat parasite sticks around in some form or other, i'd rather have it operate a single UBI program than dozens of badly-coordinated welfare axes
ben_vulpes: i've always envisioned NYC style "projects", but with minimal food/water/electricity/internet piped in to keep the denizens complacent.
ben_vulpes: i'd like to know who it is...
adlai: eh, those kids are raised by hardworking parents. i'd be more worried about the laziness of kids raised by parents on welfare today.
decimation: mexicans actually do work pretty hard, I don't mind them so much
decimation: adlai: I guess emirates, saudi arabia, etc
decimation: I thought israel is harsh on illegal immigrants
adlai: and however little they get paid, i'm pretty sure none of it is declared
adlai: in the parts of the middle east that i feel qualified to complain about, the arabs aren't sitting on enough oil to import workers; although israel is making the most from massive refugee flows from darfur, eritrea, etc
decimation: adlai: what I find amusing is all the 'turd world' workers that the arabs import to do their dirty work
decimation: I imagine most folks who live in/near israel have a pretty grim fatalism
adlai: then again, take everything i say with a dab of humus. i'm actually a lot less updated on local events than most people here, because it's mostly just fucking depressing.
adlai: there's an anarchist joke in there somewhere but i'll leave it to the reader to fill in
decimation: kakobrekla: I've read that before, not sure if it is legitimate
decimation: moldbug's analogy if I recall is a fisherman saving fish
decimation: yeah I like that better
adlai: i like to put it more bluntly, money is "the neverending ponzi game"
kakobrekla: the link i passed here earlier also touches this.
decimation: eh, I guess I don't get the immediate moral assignments of money
adlai: i mean, it's right there in the name of the channel... TWICE
decimation: eh, I'm not sure I buy the moral implications of trade thing
decimation: I suppose it all boils down to arbitrage, either in time or space
adlai: not that i'm aware of; although people have been running trading algorithms in their head for hundreds of years, so really any text on trading is a text on trading algorithms.
decimation: but I think goldmoney shut down their 'user-to-user' gold exchange
adlai: wtf. are they lurking here? all I did was register an account, and I already get flagged as a "Potentially Dangerous Request"
decimation: the way I see it, it's going to be pretty hard to avoid kyc/aml if you want to deal in fiat
adlai: "The more information you give us about yourself, the more you will be able to do, and the more you verify yourself with us, the lower your transaction limits will be." I'm liking it a little less now.
decimation: yeah I thought you might find that interesting
assbot: What Is Bitcoin? | Where Can I Buy Bitcoin? | FAQs | Netagio ... ( http://bit.ly/1xZOiZx )
decimation: I've mentioned it a couple of times here. I'm interested because it's somehow owned/related to the goldmoney guy
decimation: heh well bully for you I guess
decimation: I guess you don't need to 'physically' settle a transaction to close your position
adlai: however - i'd argue that there's plenty room for more "smart" money to enter this business of bitcoin-stabilization, assuming that there's plenty more latent demand, just beginning to wake up
ben_vulpes: i'm listening to lady v talk her mother into buying things with a credit card online.
HeySteve: great, once I wrap up some projects I'd like to get into covering Bitcoin news again
HeySteve: cool. was thinking of contributing when I get some more time
BingoBoingo: Yeah. It's a grind, but I'm liking it.
HeySteve: I'm well thanks
cazalla: much like i need to go zzz now, polished off a bottle of sambuca again
Vexual: I accidentally encountered the cunts whilst blazingly drunk over xmas
cazalla: no news so what else can i do
cazalla: the fuck do i know, had another bottle of sambuca this arvo
ben_vulpes: i'm sure there are serious beatings and playful beatings
cazalla: surely bitcoin is more established by then that i don't have to backhand her on the idea
cazalla: well 1) they wouldn't let me in anyway, persona no grata 2) fucked if i would let her take my son into that viper pit without me
BingoBoingo: In the event I father children that I stay around to raise, "Red Sleigh Down" is going to be the official Jesus/Santa story relayed to them.
b00lcrap: i just learned about krampujs last week
b00lcrap: well camels makes sense i suppose
BingoBoingo: I thought in the Southern Hemisphere they just got all Krampus and no Santa
b00lcrap: hey mircea_popescu i was curious about something, does santa still ride a sliegh down there ?
b00lcrap: i mean
b00lcrap: hold on your words are too big let me google that before i respond
b00lcrap: well i guess i kind of did just say they destroyed america.
cazalla: i think i'll take my own privilege down the bottlo and get another bottle of sambuca seeing all is quiet on the news front and BingoBoingo has taken to trolling the readers
b00lcrap: then i realized, it was the integration that happened in the 60s
b00lcrap: you know i was watching the notebook last night and i thought wow, people were so civilized in the 50's. then i thought what culture changing event could have possibly happened to cause all of this fuckedupness.
decimation: I'm not sure welfare is the proximate cause for black violence
decimation: I do get response, it's just slow
BingoBoingo: I know. I learned comments from kakobrekla. By this time next year my soul may too become slanderous.
mircea_popescu: be so kind to leave a comment once you fix it, it'll encourage other people to do the same i believe.
ben_vulpes: anyways the point i'm trying to make is that desired wallet behavior is entirely orthogonal to a thing that "bitcoinates".
ben_vulpes: maybe i'm getting cranky, but the "specify all important outputs, remainder is for the miners" behavior of transaction processing should never have been papered over.
ben_vulpes: sorry, i'm being unclear.
ben_vulpes: that's what i've seen in practice.
ben_vulpes: i'm of the opinion that facilities for btc handling beyond creating and signing raw transactions are entirely unnecessary.
kakobrekla: jeez i wasnt serious.
Azelphur: I did it, I'm curious to see how mad whoever it is gets. :P
Azelphur: I want to so badly.
Azelphur: can I reply to that with the wikipedia article explaining that a HYIP is a ponzi scheme
thestringpuller: yea but I had an intense dream about snoopy and vince guaraldi, and then the second I log in your name is the first one i see on the stack
joecool: well it's not like i haven't been around here before, you know?
thestringpuller: and I had dreams about snoopy and his theme song
thestringpuller: wow first name I see when logging in
ben_vulpes: it makes some amount of sense in a pre blockchain explorer world i suppose: 'how is one supposed to know what transactions are available for spending?' 'listunspent, oh noob'.
Adlai: scalpl executes approximately 0.1% of the orders it places, i guess i'm fucked
BingoBoingo: I don't think the word the mean to use was "shape"...
BingoBoingo: It happens. I'm just surprised it was such a good football game.
ben_vulpes: "i accept bitcoin with my personal toolchain:
ben_vulpes: "i accept bitcoin with my butt:
decimation: I assume all of the transactions in the extinct chain are swept into new blocks from that point forward?
asciilifeform: i don't think it is a mystery, to anyone even remotely connected with the sordid business, what it was that he meant.
asciilifeform: unless mr. 'i want to hire 30 great programmers tomorrow morning' wasn't writing from a psychiatric hospital, the parsimonious hypothesis is that he meant something other than inventors when said 'great programmers.'
asciilifeform: or otherwise 'can you play violin? don't know, i've never tried yet'
asciilifeform: 'I asked the CEO of a startup with about 70 programmers how many more he'd hire if he could get all the great programmers he wanted. He said "We'd hire 30 tomorrow morning."'
assbot: Logged on 25-12-2014 03:52:10; asciilifeform: every day i wonder why the 'arm' architecture so thoroughly beat 'mips' (closest competitor in the 'risc' world) in the markets
ben_vulpes: ah, forgive me. i mean "blocks" as in relatively easily handled block data. for example, the json that's returned from getblock.
