nubbins`: i've erased enough chem from my brain to not be able to definitively say "yes" to that, but i mean 10mg of morphine = 6.67mg of oxy
mircea_popescu: i definitely can see how one can be addicted to morphine.
nubbins`: suppose i told you that oxycodone is 1.5x the strength?
mircea_popescu: i was saving the "their" even!
mircea_popescu: i was having fun with this one ;/
mircea_popescu: wait, no, i got better. "most eaters report no substandial difference between i-cant-believe-its-not-butter and butter"
mircea_popescu: i totally care what a bunch of fucktards report, it's like, tantamout to science this.
nubbins`: <+mircea_popescu> adlai i have nfi how you can be "addicted" to oxycodone. <<< uhhhh.... o.O
cazalla: i would not know this, i thought jenkem was only export
cazalla: i'll stick to nutmeg and banana skins
mircea_popescu: movie stars i guess.
mircea_popescu: punkman back when i was that age, idiots snorted powdered sugar, to pretend like they're whatever.
mircea_popescu: adlai i have nfi how you can be "addicted" to oxycodone.
mircea_popescu: ahaha check that shit out. i had no idea.
mircea_popescu: i hope the rainbow party doesn't stop with the gay marriage victory and goes to the core of the problem.
mircea_popescu: so i was thinking, aren't these dating sites and dating generally completely inequitable ?
assbot: Logged on 01-12-2014 04:41:18; decimation: I'm okay with a high VAT/GST/sales tax if it comes with no income tax
cazalla: not much considering i'm still waiting to be unbanned for making violent threats which i did not even make
cazalla: looks like matonis is a fan of qntra http://i.imgur.com/vnavBv4.png
cazalla: http://qntra.net/2014/12/michael-mizrachi-aka-the-grinder-to-launch-bitcoin-based-poker-site/ i can just see one of these donking off player funds in some degen moment
cazalla: mircea_popescu, it means i have already deducted what needed removing
mircea_popescu: does that mean i have to substract 175 or not ?
mircea_popescu: can i now impeach obama on the basis of some sex tapes in which he's fucking his daughters ?
mircea_popescu: dude i don't get this shit.
mircea_popescu: what i mean is : qntra is a bitcoin property. if bitcoin does well and qntra does well, it's not possible in a year for it to not be worth btc.
cazalla: it's not an immediate need, looking more towards long term, do i look back after a year and think yes, on a per hour basis, this earned more btc than turning my mcbucks to bitcoin
cazalla: because there comes a point where i can make more working mcdonalds and using mcbucks to buy btc instead of qntra to btc for my efforts
mircea_popescu: what i mean specifically : the site is generating excellent revenue as it is. none of which is monetary.
cazalla: i was going to attribute traffic drop to 2014 being somewhat of a write off but ccn is up and up so perhaps some penguin/panda styled penalty on coindesk, who knows
cazalla: maybe i'll whack up a sponsorship page outlining the demographics per quantcast
mircea_popescu: i don't think we even bother selling it until it shows great numbers and they come bangin' on the door.
cazalla: yes, so i vote we remove the advert and offer spots per cpm
cazalla: i know but point is, CTR could be 100% but who cares if it didn't convert to a paying customer, total revenue this month = 0
decimation: at any rate, I'm off to bed, night all
pete_dushenski: i was thinking more along the lines of...
pete_dushenski: i wonder what they're going to slap the dogecoin android miner guy with. 1 trillion doge!
asciilifeform: decimation: i don't get it. with what 'modern' thing would you have them replace the 'enfields', and why ?
decimation: I've seen something that is supposed to be like it when I was in hawaii
decimation: heh yeah. I think they give guns to some of the eskimos too
decimation: actually I was thinking while gasing up my car today... if you add up the fact that usg is funded to a big degree by printed dollars, and that now opec has decided to flood the market with oil to kill off drilling in north america, you realize that you have 'oil printing' vs. 'dollar printing'
pete_dushenski: keep in mind i'm but a lowly observer... from the clouds
decimation: cazalla: I assume they all have gov't paid pensions too right
decimation: I'm okay with a high VAT/GST/sales tax if it comes with no income tax ☟︎
pete_dushenski: i now know a few off the top of my head
pete_dushenski: i was reading up on the russian tax code this weekend and it's completely fucking reasonable.
kakobrekla: Shabnam Ansar i don't understand a lot of stuff you say, nevertheless i read them all... you are just so amazing n my role model
kakobrekla: these are my findings from very short time of fiddling with the thing so i may be off.
kakobrekla: as far as i gathered it was ddosing one at a time before ratpoison - it jumped to the last one joining. now it just adds to stack.
kakobrekla: i can try the waters
cazalla: gameboy app tells me there were 9 people there but i only saw the reps so like i said, it's an autists dream come true
cazalla: mats_cd03: too quick to burn bridges is all i'm saying <<< i gave him the opportunity but then he started with the gaw miners, altcoins are legit cause he made money with it
decimation: well, I guess I assumed you went to some kind of trade show with nintendo present.
cazalla: decimation, why would you ask me if i went there? i don't get it
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah I said systemd was a fungus. I agree, I don't see how this kind of thing is tolerable. Politically, I think Linus is up against a wall to some degree, because he knows redhat, inc pays for most of the kernel 'zeks'
decimation: re: Opera << i use the webkit based one, probably offers little protection against firefox based attacks
adlai: the macbook pro I used at my last office job still boots into dvorak and has to manually be switched to qwerty, last I checked
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i have not actually pressed any F key in... uh. months ? << 'midnight commander' naturally. and i have f1-f12 mapped to useful things in 'emacs' as well. unlike (apparently) many emacs users, i don't treat my hands as an object of religious sacrifice.
adlai: maybe my priorities are misplaced, but one huge problem I saw with the whole entropy thingy is... the printer
adlai: "Secure Bitcoin Live USB key for offline transactions" (I didn't click the link, just reacting to the title)
asciilifeform: i bring up sram as concession to the fact that the hypothetical calculator discussed earlier needs a small working memory
kakobrekla: yes but i cant recall what were they doing
asciilifeform: i'll repeat - dedicated gizmo wherein to crunch the bignums - useful. store keys - no thanks.
asciilifeform: the reason i even bothered to respond to the trezor thing is to share the hypothesis that all of the available products are dumb because the problem they are 'solving' - is dumb.
punkman: I don't get their whole recovery seed, pin codes, password mess
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: not in the pcb shots i saw. last time i gave a damn.
asciilifeform: punkman: i am still not able to find a copy of the actual code actually running on the physical device.
kakobrekla: still i kinda think its a tad better than plain webwallet
kakobrekla: unless i already melted into the box here
asciilifeform: i'm not convinced that it is.
kakobrekla: i will not tell them "this is 100% secure"
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: and i still stand by the statement.
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: i do recall.
kakobrekla: ben_vulpes i kno :(
asciilifeform: (the ultimate logical conclusion of this idea would be the hypothetical thing that is so far the only serious improvement on 'bitcoin fundamentals' i've been able to come up with. that is, 'rectothermcoin')
asciilifeform: (all the scorn for brainwallets - i say - is enemy disinfo. storing private key in brain is ultimately inescapable, whatever other forms of storage are in use. hard disk? key is - where it is kept, plus decryption keys.)
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: actually i stole the chair metaphor (from - forget whom? ted nelson?)
ben_vulpes: i am familiar with this metaphor of yours.
asciilifeform: i also like to call it 'chair-stacking space program'
asciilifeform: this is a tremendously annoying mental glitch that i see just about everywhere - from '3d printer' enthusiasts to man-in-space aficionados. it being, the notion that solving myriad 'small, solvable' problems somehow brings us closer to solving the 'big ones' for which we have no angle of approach
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i'm glad you're here to hold our feet to the fire.
thestringpuller: last time I tried to sync blockchain, the thing just blew up
ben_vulpes: i like undata
kakobrekla: but i dunno, who joined in last few months that is not worth keeping?
mats_cd03: das all i got. carry on.
adlai: I'd agree in general that bridges burn fast in assettown, although in this case, let's just reread http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-11-2014#938962 ☝︎
mats_cd03: i feel this encourages an echo chamber as it continues
mats_cd03: too quick to burn bridges is all i'm saying
jurov: ben_vulpes: yes. i'll look why it did not associate patch with signature
ben_vulpes: jurov: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2014-November/000014.html << am i doing this right yet?
cazalla: "i've used them for ages, i've made a profit".. famous last words
cazalla: kakobrekla, ben_vulpes, nintendo are holding some pokemon event today, so i gotta go get the eon ticket or i won't be able to catch 'em all
tandacoin: can i write in greek
tandacoin: Ok I will work on that
tandacoin: I am the writer for altcoinpress.com
cazalla: tandacoin, stick around, i need to finish current article and then head off to a pokemon meetup, speak to BingoBoingo if you cannot wait (if he is around)
tandacoin: i have read logs of bitcoin assets but i'm not sure how to get word of trust
tandacoin: how do i sign up
tandacoin: hello I would like to write for qntra
adlai: what am I supposed to do if I wake up in a cold sweat at 3am and want to get rid of all my TSLA?
kakobrekla: idk i call it a gap :)
