undata: chetty: the video I saw was a guy yelling at a cop
undata: chetty: elaborate, because I'm certain I disagree
undata: BingoBoingo: I'm going to hazard a guess
jurov: asciilifeform i just remembered to ask. but i'll try more emails and see
assbot: The boys at Pheeva are crowd-funding to get their commercial onto ESPN for the Bitcoin Bowl. I donated. : Bitcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1xNrfzn )
jurov: btw asciilifeform can you ask your hosting about the emails? i sent polite inquiry to support@nearlyfreespeech.net
mircea_popescu: the shit i find digging...
cazalla: xanthyos, he's there tonight, just his talk is tmw or some shit, i dunno, i take offense at him being here in my home town :P
cazalla: i can smell his stench from 30 minutes away
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> and then how many tons of aluminum did you refine? or wasted! << lol i was only using about 1mw +-
mircea_popescu: <cazalla> ben_vulpes, nope, i should learn but i just compost what's left << holy shgit man srsly ?
xanthyos: i just got a tablet and i want to find a reliable authing app
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you could make a deal where you prepaid consumption at fixed rate. so i did << and then how many tons of aluminum did you refine? or wasted!
asciilifeform: where'll i see motion blur, in 'emacs', lol
cazalla: as a kid, no-one picked up that i had a lazy eye, so for many years i didn't even understand why i couldn't see what all these other kids could see with those stereogram books
asciilifeform: yeah, more or less nobody i know can. other than my brother - fellow mutant.
cazalla: <asciilifeform> i can see the 7-8th 'virtual' bits of colour DAC resolution flicker. <<< see, i don't even know what this really is, so not a concern for such a person :)
asciilifeform: i can see the 7-8th 'virtual' bits of colour DAC resolution flicker.
cazalla: if viewing angle is a concern, i can see how they are utter shit but if not, suitable for gaming/desktop use, i like my 120hz led
cazalla: where am i gonna get a widescreen crt though, one suitable for gaming
asciilifeform: i can see the dither flicker. on all of them.
cazalla: well, at least for gaming but even for desktop use i get a headache from anything less than 120hz
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: if i did - forgot.
ben_vulpes: i believe that you have a term for this degradation of the industrial toolchain, asciilifeform, but it escapes me at the moment.
ben_vulpes: i miss this terribly.
ben_vulpes: so - i use the 1920x1200's in horizontal orientation, slapping 3 buffers sideways.
ben_vulpes: i can't use contacts while programming as my prescription is way out in the tail of the distribution, where the spacing between contact fabrication points squarely frames my actual needs.
asciilifeform: i've already had to buff them, will soon need to electroplate
ben_vulpes: i can't use very tall monitors, as i bought these glasses in high school and they have an extremely narrow field of vision.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i'm finding 1440 a tight horizontal fit at the moment
asciilifeform: (i have not tried this one, but recently spat on a similar one - 'asus' ?)
ben_vulpes: cazalla: i'm casually observing lady v browse etsy et al for moar home furnishings (just set her up with the budget for a kilim rug), saw rabbit fur flash across the screen, thought of your habits.
cazalla: ben_vulpes, nope, i should learn but i just compost what's left
cazalla: <ben_vulpes> we are planning to buy the year's rent in a lump sum <<< i tried this once before but got knocked back, i figured because i paid on time every time the owner figure what was the point
mircea_popescu: unlkess you get a discount i guess.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i pay quarterly anyway, but as long as its set in the contract whatr diff does it make ?
mircea_popescu: i was the passive element really, they just were really intent on selfrape somehow
mircea_popescu: anecdotally, i totally raped the power company in romania. one year they were desperate for cash, so you could make a deal where you prepaid consumption at fixed rate. so i did, i prepaid for like a year.
ben_vulpes: as i said this afternoon "too much money to put to use in our own business, not enough to get into any others".
xanthyos: i prefer the william shatner cover
ben_vulpes: i struggle with the flipside of the debt thing - what to do with the retained earnings? go long the stock market? really? i'm bullish on btc on like a 30 year timeframe so that has to have next to no bearing on the 1-2 year timeframe for handling retained earnings right now. give up the 8% or w/e the market's doing under QE or hold it all in cash because "it can't go on like this forever!11!"
ben_vulpes: (the girls of my generation, i mean.)
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i'm familiar with the females of my age group couch surfing, living on gov't grants, waitressing, staying up late chain smoking over the odd "piece".
xanthyos: i took the gauze off yesterday, it's circumstitched
ben_vulpes: at this rate i'm going to have to learn romanian
mircea_popescu: o look at that, i made acronym puns.
mircea_popescu: i made acronym puns ?!@
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2012/cererea-de-suspendare-a-pre%C8%99edintelui-traian-basescu-sau-cu-caragiale-tot-inainte/ << i nominate for translation queue based on link title alone
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform btw, because i remembered doing the research for my latest : speaking of the "how about you stop sending niggers" thing - the romanian secret service arrested a few dozen men mid december 1989 who were travelling to timisoara by themselves. no women, no children, "vacation". they had all heard that this was the oldest town in europe with electric illumination.
jurov: not tried to reproduce, first time i see this
mircea_popescu: da shit is this i've never seen such a thing.
jurov: it wears off, i can't even be properly paranoid anymore
xanthyos: i needed my hand held
BingoBoingo: I am indeed
jurov: it worked very badly, then i found some wine processes running with malware-y names, killed with fire
jurov: yea, i had yahoo messenger. found interesting stuff under .wine then
mircea_popescu: i can see it.
Pierre_Rochard: mircea_popescu: alas bitstein and krawisz are (hopefully temporarily) taken up with other ventures. Personally I think the SNI website is unfinished in its current state, but there’s only so much arm twisting I can do with friends
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: jurov: "the nakamoto institute" was working on an archive of the satoshi letters at one point. i don't know if they got anywhere with it. <<< not very far afaik. Pierre_Rochard << why not btw ? put krawsiz to some useful work!
asciilifeform: i can picture the conversation right now:
asciilifeform: so that what, i can't send the launch codes?
mircea_popescu: i was thinking it's funny how you keep popping in and out
asciilifeform: so it appears that i've merited own, personal ddos.
ben_vulpes: i think the question that i'm asking is: is an embedded db even a good idea?
ben_vulpes: yeah i figured
punkman: I think there's more on sourceforge mailing lists
ben_vulpes: jurov: "the nakamoto institute" was working on an archive of the satoshi letters at one point. i don't know if they got anywhere with it.
ben_vulpes: but y'all know more than i on the topic.
ben_vulpes: "since it is file based, it requires no separate database setup for users" << i don't know about this.
ben_vulpes: i suspect certain diets encourage certain bugs that diddle the endocrine system horribly
jurov: i just find it funny if eventually comes out of it that obesity is indeed infectious disease
ben_vulpes: jurov: i can't imagine we've sequenced all virii inhabiting humans or even done a decent job at even the internal or external bacteriospheres
Azelphur: he has a bot that does ^, I've already banned him in the past from #bitcoin, #bitcoin-otc, #bitcoin-otc-eu, -uk, ...
adlai: wut, wut did i do

Vexual: "what do i win?"
Vexual: back when i was a kid, if you wanted a virtual office you had to convince someone to do it
cascadian_derper: ascii picked that rev for patching not i
cascadian_derper: re my culpability all i did was ask "why not 053"
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu i was reading a circa-1958 issue of american magazine 'popular science', and guess what was in it - http://imgur.com/mZnf775 ☟︎
asciilifeform: that's what i meant by http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-11-2014#931886 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, i would just sell all my bitcoins, start a new chain.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla i do not see it.
mircea_popescu: i personally blame ben_vulpes
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: no that wasnt the question << i guess time will tell no ?
mircea_popescu: if the average per-kb page of internet communication were one gallon of gasoline, i wouldn't have to explain to idiots why i don't want to see "webcasts" and why im in irc.
decimation: I think mr. yarvin pointed to some internet elder figure who was hawking this idea (also urbit)
mircea_popescu: undata i recall this.
undata: asciilifeform: the crude idea I had previously was just trying to jam a WoT into the blockchain
decimation: asciilifeform: I'm not sure you really need tcp at all if you have a crypto-wot
mircea_popescu: "I'm not sure this is getting through the fog of their own farts, but the group of power rangers has so far:
kakobrekla: i liked asciis story better!
undata: asciilifeform: where's your kyristor post? I want to re-read it.
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03: what is the origin of this 'power rangers' nick? << hours after the fork gavin & hearn brought upon the network through their alleged ineptitude (which allegation i don't credit, it was deliberate)
asciilifeform: i'm going to confess now that i implemented this...
