mircea_popescu: nubbins` THERE ARE NO HUNGRY PEOPLE WHERE I LIVE << lawl.
mircea_popescu: punkman i forget, how does one download the bundles ?
Anduck: i checked deeds site, didnt even see an api
mircea_popescu: Anduck 15-11-2014 01:09:45 <nubbins`> .deed http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=eJhsu4D5 << like so.
TheNewDeal: ahhh I've read that one before. On a similar note - does that empty block miner still persist? Haven't seen organofcorti mention it
nubbins`: and holy shit you can buy stocks i've always wanted to etc
TheNewDeal: I don't see pankakke's argument considering dumb and evil people in bitcoin
asciilifeform: every day that this has not yet taken place, i am pleasantly surprised.
asciilifeform: i, for instance, expect to end up slowly dismembered in a cia dungeon. ☟︎
nubbins`: i figured it was a combination of the rose tint coming off his glasses, and getting tired of the bellicose rhetoric
asciilifeform: i conjecture that it's all a problem of expectations.
asciilifeform: i can't claim to have a handle on what ails pankkake et. al. ☟︎
asciilifeform: nubbins`: that was the 'success' i was theorizing about people being disappointed in not having.
nubbins`: anyway, i guess under these criteria i'd be considered a success, although i'm admittedly raising an eyebrow myself over this
asciilifeform: i'd imagine i'm not the only one who considers 'success' as implying a total exit from 'don't work a day - don't eat a day'
TheNewDeal: I can just as easily be a fry cook at mcdonalds and change my $100 monthly profits to btc
asciilifeform: 'successful' i'd propose, would be in this context, folks who once had to prostitute themselves for fiat who no longer must, on account of something they worked on in collaboration with the people here.
TheNewDeal: and I'm sure there are some that have made a pretty penny
TheNewDeal: I don't really consider the owner rich
TheNewDeal: just curious - I'm capable of formatting my own opinions, just want to see how they measure up to others
nubbins`: lel, i kid.
asciilifeform: they, i suspect, reach a point of thinking 'i can't eat hope'
asciilifeform: not being the shrink for either of these folks, i can't say with certainty, but do have a hypothesis:
nubbins`: i guess there's no gems left to push 8)
asciilifeform: i somehow missed this.
asciilifeform: am i missing something?
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: oh i own one. rarely use it though.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes i want a giant tower of hydrocarbons << for some reason i didn't even think you had a car
ben_vulpes: but it's kind of an estes scale thing, and i want a giant tower of hydrocarbons atop which to ride out of this gravity well.
nubbins`: i mean.
ben_vulpes: yes i have a thing
ben_vulpes: because i need a shartup!
pete_dushenski: i'd personally be quite interested to see what nanotube would do if given a free $1.5mn
pete_dushenski: "I am by no means convinced it is even correct, but merely the suggestion of it has the sort of breathtaking effect sudden abstraction gives. The reason I’m publishing all this is, of course, that I’m interested to hear what others think. Fill me in below."
pete_dushenski: then number $7mn is stuck in my mind but i can't dig up the article to confirm
asciilifeform: tuals building emotional superstructures over events that had never happened. I saw, in fact, history being written not in terms of what happened but of what ought to have happened according to various ‘party lines’.'
asciilifeform: ot even the relationship which is implied in an ordinary lie. I saw great battles reported where there had been no fighting, and complete silence where hundreds of men had been killed. I saw troops who had fought bravely denounced as cowards and traitors, and others who had never seen a shot fired hailed as the heroes of imaginary victories; and I saw newspapers in London retailing these lies and eager intellec
asciilifeform: 'I remember saying once to Arthur Koestler, ‘History stopped in 1936’, at which he nodded in immediate understanding. We were both thinking of totalitarianism in general, but more particularly of the Spanish civil war. Early in life I have noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper, but in Spain, for the first time, I saw newspaper reports which did not bear any relation to the facts, n
jurov: i can easily see russians doing it and placing buk in there as diversion
asciilifeform: jurov: first i hear of such
nubbins`: i actually use viscosity as a guide leading up to the smoke point
pete_dushenski: that usg is less threatening by the day i tell you
jurov: when cooking with olive oil, i can say by smell it's right temp
nubbins`: i won't know when the pan is hot enough!
nubbins`: wtf am i supposed to do now!
nubbins`: jurov / urovj i wait for my oil to smoke before putting food in the pan :/
nubbins`: i mean.
xanthyos: as someone who's been homeless i've found it much easier to survive in backwoods towns in minnesota where people are poorer and not politicized
xanthyos: http://i.gyazo.com/970002ace57462fba98546820653d316.png << look at the progress bar on an electronic transaction initiated two full days ago. obsolescence.
nubbins`: i live on an island, buddy
nubbins`: THERE ARE NO HUNGRY PEOPLE WHERE I LIVE
nubbins`: LOOK AT ME I'M DONATING TO SEAN'S OUTPOST
nubbins`: i never got the "feed the homeless in this guy's city instead of in your own city" thing
nubbins`: <mircea_popescu> <undata> if I were russia, I'd wait for the US to go balls deep into the middle east again, and then I'd grab some of the north pole's oil, <<< obviously, you're not russia. <<< dat unfamilairity with arctic sovereignty claims
Vexual: the sd one is cool, i dont undertand the other thing
asciilifeform: perhaps i dreamed all of this.
RagnarDanneskjol: punkman i think eventually you're gonna ahve to ditch electrum and run a daemon - these issues are somewhat known and why deedbot 1.0 replaced it w/ api
asciilifeform: re: top hats: i vaguely recall that the planet lost the capacity to make toothpicks for a few months at some point in '09 (?)
punkman: so electrum is blocking forever when I try to send a tx, then the tx sending thread gets stuck
mircea_popescu: http://i.imgur.com/RUvwvFk.gif
mircea_popescu: i still know how to make a felt hat
mircea_popescu: i sorta can't.
asciilifeform: but i can sorta see the point he was trying to make.
asciilifeform: and i can hardly imagine a modern big-game hunter having any serious troubles with a mastodon.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform im pretty sure i can still write on punch cards.
decimation: yeah I don't get it, if your'e gonna wear a shirt with semi-naked women in front of an international audience, show some follow-through
cazalla: something to do with looms is, that i know
mircea_popescu: cazalla i know specifically what im talking about, because the last looms capable of making the required felt were destroyed a decade ago as part of a family feud.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform kinda what i mean by "inept iran"
mircea_popescu: see what i mean ?
thestringpuller: Adlai: i don't think it was tagged as news
mircea_popescu: i can centrifuge my own uranium, there's plenty of places where it's directly exploitable etc.
mircea_popescu: the sad truth of the matter is that with the current state of manufacturing, i could build my own nuke. wouldn't even take a decade.
mircea_popescu: i'd rather think about kim's butt.
Adlai: thestringpuller: overall though i liked the bip65 article, it was worded neutrally enough that it could almost be tagged 'News'
decimation: I suppose the idea that the 'standard grunt' is snaking up on someone is unlikely
decimation: yeah I agree they aren't 100% silent, but the advantages of silence seem to be large
mircea_popescu: i suppose the next logical bezzle step is a tesla-lockheed merger
Adlai: "TLA is a three-letter-acronym for three-letter-acronyms." << i'd go as far as/cronyms/gencies/
asciilifeform: i suppose it's hard to blow yer own brains out with a drone.
mircea_popescu: i doubt you will have man operated lasers anyway
decimation: I suspect the first 'military laser' will be infrared
decimation: I imagine there's going to have to be some kind of visible protocol, otherwise the enemy would simply be confused about what's going on
decimation: I suspect that fusion-powered robots will be doing most of the fighting anyway
decimation: I want my pocket laser gun
thestringpuller: hmm. am I on qntra blacklist?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i don't even think code as tight can still be made, much like you can't have a proper boot made... << oh but it can.
thestringpuller: just a uint32 variable I was trying to show
thestringpuller: yes I see. does it really matter?
thestringpuller: Adlai: i can't see the article yet so I can't answer the question
fivezerotwo: mircea_popescu, it's down, I'm sure. http://check-host.net/check-http?host=qntra.net
Adlai is talking about "<span class="spell _uwb">Did you mean:</span> <a class="spell" href="/search?espv=2&amp;q=recursion&amp;spell=1"><b><i>recursion</i></b></a> "
mircea_popescu: i don't even think code as tight can still be made, much like you can't have a proper boot made anymore, and hardly a proper suit of clothes.
mircea_popescu: i have NEVER and I do mean NEVER saw programs as good as bacxk in the days of asm.
mircea_popescu: this is the stupidest thing i ever read.
joecool: BingoBoingo: looks same as mine except i have a ??? between the last two
mircea_popescu: joecool of course, i'm in argentina...
decimation: I can get to qntra, but not trilema
RagnarDanneskjol: i just tried it from multiple IPs in US and EU - no luck here
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'm having this looked into, but i tell you i dun even know wtf.
