decimation: I'm sure they would charge a hefty fee for the audit
asciilifeform: i briefly considered subscribing to an 'audited' class (no grade) just to count as undergrad, to score the goods
decimation: I'm sure the taxpayers of the state of maryland will be pleased with the decisions of their servants working in the state
asciilifeform: speaking of my rotten old uni, i'm no longer permitted to read the electronic journals for any amount of money ☟︎
decimation: I assure you that parts [of the egg] are quite excellent!
asciilifeform: decimation: i've 'eaten quite enough of the egg to know that it is rotten.'
mircea_popescu: im sure i meant something.
mircea_popescu: i could see why he would.
mircea_popescu: i just thought who knows, maybe guy favoured large udders from the caucasus in bed.
asciilifeform: i vaguely recall his father (nominal father anyway) being an ossetian
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: lol asciilifeform is the guy who shows up to work to push the right button << if you're thinking of my day job (vs moonlight gig, where i also push a button) - that firm folded. i do something quite like actual work now.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i suspecrt you're right.
ben_vulpes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Donovan#Blood-Brotherhood_and_Other_Rites_of_Male_Alliance << i suspect the shartup circus is driven in no small part by young guys seeking blood rites or a war of the small band against the world. a hilarious quest for "honorable" victories.
Namworld: Well just the odds of it happening I estimate around 1/20 million, not counting wether you see people's cards or not. Although if it was also all consecutive seats, the odds for that would be 1 in ~200 million I think.
Namworld: Everyone all in on 4 pocket pairs, all consecutive clockwise http://i.imgur.com/DdMDaCd.png
mircea_popescu: Namworld i imagine it's a way to pay slightlymore for the same junk
Namworld: Mircea, an interesting note about Facebook ads. I think now you can target users by habit, such as people spending money on Facebook credit to buy stuff. So I guess you can filter out bots/junk traffic and target paying gamers who have money to waste and access to credit cards and so on. Although the use for that is limited I suppose to games, mostly.
mircea_popescu: well i can't terll which way it's intended
fluffypony: nah, I doubt Malema would have the wherewithal for that
mircea_popescu: i guess guerilla political campaigning ?
mircea_popescu: lol can i short it yet ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ahh i feel vindicated!
jyap: i now have stripes
mats: i am not impressed that the growlers and raptors are being flown against ISIL
mats: i love parks, but this isn't fiscally responsible.
mircea_popescu: "i will spend this money on the more chaste girls at the strip club"
mircea_popescu: little tidbits like the above i'd be too lazy to make a blogpost about.
mircea_popescu: i gotta say this chan is such a great thing.
BingoBoingo: I just like the part where GAW transitioned from dropshipping other manufacterer's miners to selling "cloudhashing" to selling... hosted wallets?
punkman: "100% confirmed: paycoin is officially the most popular coin that's ever launched. I was literally just told: "Josh, you made the coin too popular""
agorecki: I guess I'll leave the assbot window open... At least then I don't have to bother to close it each time I open my IRC client. I don't want to miss any other messages by forgetting that I put it on ignore
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I work the lulz mines so better people can keep their minds clean
BingoBoingo: agorecki: I just find it reassuring to see kakobrekla's motherly protection anywhere I can.
agorecki: not that I don't appreciate the warning, of course :)
agorecki: is there a way to get assbot to stop messaging me every time I join #bitcoin-assets? I got a cloak to avoid the ddos
mats: so much for, i made seven figures this year
BingoBoingo: I mean why abuse a legit wagering operation into an actual mixer when you can trust random derp who advertises a wagering operation as a mixer
BingoBoingo: Because, I mean snackman killed BitBet
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> i never learned why << because ro did 90% of the first 1bn in internet commerce fraud.
asciilifeform: i never learned why
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah I thought that was hilarious. why would shipping to ro be any worse than any other east europe country?
asciilifeform: amazon crap << i had a hell of a time shipping from usa to ro.
decimation: actually I suspect that he was 'named' on the patent to stuff the resumes of the co-inventors
decimation: it must have been filed before he quit I guess
mircea_popescu: i remember this moment from the late 90s, me at the home of some teen i was fucking, seeing her yahoo messenger replete with various yahoo drps and going wtf am i doing here.
mircea_popescu: i guess yahoo was more in yurp, aol more in ozarks.
mircea_popescu: i should know better than to read the crap. there does not in fact exist a single google blog that's not idiotic.
BingoBoingo: I imagine too many people read the news to realize how much it sucks
decimation: it's sad that the male homosexual is the guy who is willing to call out feminists for their bullshit. I mostly chalk this up to actual people having better things to do, but I don't understand why actual people can't run the news - like qntra
BingoBoingo: "And for obvious reasons I have never been comfortable in a company dominated by territorial men. I hope I have made space for others who don’t fit the mould. And I pray that my information networks are still good enough to identify those leaders too busy being capable to promote themselves. At Gawker, despite the reputation of our journalism, nice guys finish first. And women." -Nick Denton
BingoBoingo: "The fact is that I would like to end my career as a behind-the-scenes powerbroker, a Deng Xiaoping of Gawker Media, exerting discreet influence through obscure committees." -Nick Denton
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'm honestly surprised there aren't more cases arising that cite that one John Lithgow movie. I mean in that case Mathew Broderick forgot to build any lens into his excavator.
BingoBoingo: I'd count both. In my private definition of programable machine I include clocks
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'm not laughing. I'm just admiring an actual physics problem that could probably be solved for less than 8 figures of expenditure.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: laugh, but i thought about this as a boy. mother had (still has! we dragged it along to usa!) an east german knitting machine. manually-cranked, but you get to set patterns with myriad knobs and switches.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo kakobrekla yeah i guess so.
mircea_popescu: i thought there were some random noobs talking here yest or so.
asciilifeform: verizon's turd << what i can't fathom is who would willingly pay for this. it is quite like offering a door lock that is 's3cu43!!!11!' except for rapist, for whom it opens automagically and without fuss
asciilifeform: i can think of a few
mircea_popescu: decimation> I thought this weird 'locks' parameter fixed that? I assumed the issue was that berkleydb itself was failing at that height << yeah the only thing that happened is a block complex enough afaik.
mircea_popescu: i mostly run 0.7s
mircea_popescu: <TomServo> I've little experience with this and wanted a working node anyway - figured it was a decent place to get feet wet. << it's not bad.
assbot: Logged on 12-12-2014 20:57:38; ben_vulpes: kakobrekla claims otherwise, i never confirmed his unwedging.
decimation: I thought this weird 'locks' parameter fixed that? I assumed the issue was that berkleydb itself was failing at that height
TomServo: asciilifeform: now that you mention it, I used your mention of that specific height to determine I was wedged.
decimation: also I think the available berkley db is ancient
TomServo: I've little experience with this and wanted a working node anyway - figured it was a decent place to get feet wet.
TomServo: ben_vulpes | i never confirmed his unwedging << My 0.7.3 unwedged after appling the fix kako pointed out, if it's of any help.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> in other news, i've a 0.5.3 with fully synced blockchain. << wd.
asciilifeform: decimation: i knew this a month ago, yes
decimation: I tried running 'perf' to sample calls to 'malloc' and I didn't see any while I was loading from network peers
decimation: I saw that around ~260k blocks that my version of bitcoind was taking up nearly 1gig in memory (linux is not exactly precise with memory accounting)
ben_vulpes: kakobrekla claims otherwise, i never confirmed his unwedging. ☟︎
asciilifeform: there was another change, but i'm fairly certain that it was unnecessary and will repeat the experiment tomorrow with it snipped.
asciilifeform: in other news, i've a 0.5.3 with fully synced blockchain.
BingoBoingo: " Thunderclap messages have reached over 3.5 billion people in 238 countries and territories. It's the world's first crowdspeaking platform, and over 3 million people have donated their social reach for ideas and causes that matter. " << This has to be one of the lulziest things I've ever heard of
mircea_popescu: i suppose nobody's looked specifically at the 80/20 male/female split in ritalin forced consumptrion. date rape drugs bad, ritalin good eh ?
mircea_popescu: but hey, i guess there's not going to be a cosbygate, on the grounds that who the fuck cares.
jurov: gypsies don't give a damn about bleeding.. i heard fathers start trying out the daughters very early
thestringpuller: i probably have the diabetes
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i do.
thestringpuller: ah well then I want to be VIP when you put it that way :P
thestringpuller: i owe chetty a glass of wine
mircea_popescu: hehe i guess so.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: well, I will just show up I 'spose can use the VIP money on booze night 1
asciilifeform: i went to #2, and i still don't get, what does the 'vip' option do?
thestringpuller: i thought that was to talk, not listen. lol
thestringpuller: i was told there will be harems
mircea_popescu: i didn't mean 60 satoshi, i meant 60k :D
xanthyos: http://i.imgur.com/dZNmKyF.jpg
decimation: anyway the reason I say he's on the road to becoming you is that it is only a short step from "parallel computers suck" to "computers suck"
cazalla: actually, i mean 20/20
Vexual: some other fuckwit, i won't even be playing cricket this summer
cazalla: Vexual, meh, few times i watched snl it was most overrated thing i have ever seen
Vexual: i'm not sure if it's even on this close to the end of the year
cazalla: Vexual, it does, 2nd paragraph, and i don't watch much tv tbh
cazalla: BingoBoingo, i'll leave that to young men such as yourself BingoBoingo
cazalla: i think not..
cazalla: or why not both eh, toss in a harem mp style while i'm at it
Vexual: shows what i know
