mircea_popescu: bounce i'd much prefer you taking them apart.
bounce: "criteria" is plural, by the by. my takeaway is that I'm running into a bunch of preconceptions that make the discussion quite meaningless, so I'll yield while disagreeing.
mircea_popescu: it wasn't so dead at some point in 1920, of course, but that only to us. i'm sure in 1920 some similar dispute raged, either about draughstmanship or some other sort of engraving.
mircea_popescu: bounce anyway, so stated our dispute boils down to me saying that it is upon you either to present an outside criteria or else yield. (which is why i assumed your criteria is presented, and summarized it as "pre digital"). my point generally is that you can't present any meaningful criteria anyway.
mircea_popescu: jurov i bring as proof the difficulty real fags have in dating.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes yes, all the benefits of being a prince in terms of the harem girls' awe, none of the risks in terms of the other dudes beheading you. i know all about the mental processes supporting adolescent frottage
mircea_popescu: but i thought we were talking about the fact.
mircea_popescu: i suppose since nancy reagan was hiring court astrologers the argument can be brought that the colonies were slower on the uptake, but be that as it may...
bounce: that's only four generations, to span 500 years. I'm impressed.
mircea_popescu: chick comes to me, "hey, this chick is born in so and so sign, marry her" i'm "leave here and never speak to me again"
mircea_popescu: no, no. it was never important, as i measure it.
mircea_popescu: it has exactly no influence as i measure it.
mircea_popescu: heck, i can probably find people soliciting to protect the us from alien invasion.
mircea_popescu: i can find even more astrologers taking comissions, does this mean astrology is alive and well ?
bounce: a quick search and I run into literally dozens of artists taking comissions, so not buying it, sorry.
kakobrekla: i found the problem in hte source
assbot: Lumea nu-i de-ajuns pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: there can't be a professional painter anymore. the last professional was godward ( http://trilema.com/2010/lumea-nu-i-de-ajuns/ srsly). he killed himself, because the world was taken over by marketers
ben_vulpes: i've learned this lesson - again.
ben_vulpes: in retrospect though i probably could have negotiated half up front and charged another 25%.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2012/cum-iti-negociezi-salariul/ << i harbor no illusions that i'm anything but pleb scum, turning cranks for capital
mircea_popescu: 9k not the same, i don't care what the pretense at hand is.
mircea_popescu: punkman: saint john of las vegas ? << think I've seen that, what's mp's take on it << i thought it was somewhat similar to dead man. just as totally fucking absurd and meaningless, but not unpleasant neveretheless.
punkman: I think
mircea_popescu: pete is now so on top of things he quotes stuff i published minutes prior.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel: heh <<< i like the guy's specifications skills tho. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: i will be remembered for derping in public.
ben_vulpes: now i wish that i'd submitted mod6's signature with mine.
ben_vulpes: mod6: i'll let you do the honors with yours.
mike_c: mp has the numbers, not sure I should scoop the statement.
mircea_popescu: duh i have an article for this nm. http://blog.spagni.net/
mircea_popescu: also, i thought mexicans were tejanos not latinos.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller a) the notion that a reddit account = a person is rather bizarre. see http://trilema.com/2014/spamming-reddit-an-experiment/ by now i'd guess less than 10% are actual people ; b) this is in no way remarkable, they understand nothing of absolutely any other topic they consider, be it politics, sexual relationships or raising snails. this seems to have relatively little impact or importance outside of the
thestringpuller: i don't think the redditards understand the consequences of a hardfork ~_~
punkman: so bot updates trust list every 6 hours, should I make it spit out a message when it gets new keys?
mircea_popescu: I wonder how many people hit on incredibly improbable but bothersome stuff like 1smallC0K or 1yoMOMMAisHO or 1JeSuSgAy w/e and as a result think bitcoin is evil and gather around the hater sites.
punkman: little puzzle I made: http://deeds.bitcoin-assets.com/deed/HEvYcqtx
punkman: so if I spend the only unspent tx in the address for a new bundle, previous tx is gonna get dropped right
punkman: so if I want to make the next bundle, do start making chains of 0confs?
punkman: do I need to broadcast more aggressively, or do we need to change standard tx to 0.001
ben_vulpes: i might sell licenses of it
ben_vulpes: i wrote my own version of it in 2 weeks
ben_vulpes: http://www.jeffreyrobinson.com/book-bitcon.html : "He spoke with big players and small players" << i don't recall him ever stopping by
ben_vulpes: i am having the praises of my dick sung to me
ben_vulpes: the only way to change it is to bury it in a sea of "jeez, i guess i was wrong" and subsequent self improvement.
ben_vulpes: i look away for what - a day, two? and you people only rack up 500 lines?
punkman: mircea_popescu: kakobrekla btw you ever seen saint john of las vegas ? << think I've seen that, what's mp's take on it
pete_dushenski: "So… You judge a society as successful if it has enough money for a vibrant arts scene but not enough to alleviate the effects of poverty? Call me crazy, but I don’t think the first of us started forming this grand experiment I call society just so we can finger-paint together." << lulzy contravex comment o' the day
pete_dushenski: all i did was make pankkake's script run on a vps
pete_dushenski: thickasthieves: pete modified it << if i had the skillz to do that, we wouldn't need ben_vulpes asciilifeform mod6 and the real foundation ;)
pete_dushenski: i live!
gabriel_laddel: yeah, I know. there must be a table avalible through some hack though, ie the master 'document' javascript object.
gabriel_laddel: bounce: I'm going to do this fucker once and for all and be done with it.
gabriel_laddel: ged into the desired table via regexps, pointers would be greatly appreciated. I'll post the finished output of this somewhere permanent to make it worth your time. I'd like to call these functions while the program is running btw (via mozrepl). The format of the table I would like to generate: http://paste.lisp.org/display/144251/raw
gabriel_laddel: bounce: I'm looking for a canonical reference for the entire API exposed by mozilla firefox (I realize there are two, JS and the XUL. I'd like both). I'm looking through the firefox extension documentation, but frankly, they're shit (eg, I want to open a new tab, where is the page describing this function call? not anywhere in the search!). If someone familiar with the sources knew of a few files that could be massa
mircea_popescu: close enough, i'll take it
TheNewDeal: I'm not sure if it was an accident, or on purpose. However, if it were on purpose, I applaud the author for a well crafted bet
punkman: TheNewDeal: I'd like it more if it said "yes if gold closes at $1200 or more on friday"
TheNewDeal: punkman, I think that gold bet was actually structured intelligently
punkman: yeah I guess, a little lost on me
mircea_popescu: yeah, he had some real derpage going on, yet another dood thought himself too good for the wot, then his shit went nowhere, then he failed to go "o hey, you know what my problem is ? i fucked up on the wot score! let me fix that".
cazalla: <thestringpuller> slow news weekend <<< yup, i think the article as above are probably good for weekends
assbot: /g/ - What bitcoin tumbler do you recommend /g/? I want
mircea_popescu: the exact fucking antihussle. i wonder what the fuck dope dealers are doing, because i find it hard to believe argentine junkies all keep a stash.
mircea_popescu: saturday night tho ? ZERO! i don't mean, most of the fat ones with good business didn't bother, leav ing just a few of the sketchier, hungrier fellows. no, i mean exactly zero. as if saturday night is not a time. not part of the world. does not exist.
punkman: mircea_popescu: should I give deedwallet password to you or kakobrekla for safekeeping?
punkman: gpg library lied to me, and also I suck
mircea_popescu: <punkman> I am already humiliated by letting invalid deed pass through << how did that happen ?
punkman: (but I just deleted it from db, ha!)
punkman: I am already humiliated by letting invalid deed pass through
thestringpuller: I was just trolling! I'm sorry I couldn't resist.
punkman: what I just gave status update
thestringpuller: i have news
cazalla: afterall, i wouldn't want anyone to think i'm slacking
jurov: i was like, myeah, better WC penetration would be handy sometims
jurov: just today i came across an adverticle about "need to increas VC penetration in Slovakia"
mats_cd03: well now i'm just disappointed
mircea_popescu: given that i have like 2lbs of chocolate right here, which i just bought today, it's a wonder we're not the fattest people online.
punkman: I don't think I've seen your name
ninjashogun: I can PM you if you want. Let's not repeat this.
ninjashogun: <ninjashogun> I realize that you also are careful about your online footprint so you will appreciate this. I think I didn't realize that it's a publicly-indexed log at the time.
ninjashogun: <ninjashogun> hi - could I ask you to remove my full name from the logs. I have been open about what it is and it appears once or twice in the bitcoin-assets logs. I realize that this ecosystem is very different and that people here don't believe in traditional startups, but I have investors doing due dilligence on me, and it is uncomfortable to come up in google results.
ninjashogun: thanks. I asked for voice to request this:
cazalla: choc i buy down here uses agave nectar, pretty nice stuff
kakobrekla: you're too young to pay for women. < oh oh i see, young enough to emulate em
xiando: I guess it makes sense if you don't have a bunch of servers and websites yourself
kakobrekla: i can easily make bitbet spend 45k a month
mircea_popescu: i'm so good at solving problems that don't exist.
mircea_popescu: i thought it had a html export baked in
punkman: I like it
punkman: I had theories!
punkman: kakobrekla: I ran the backtest on more recent bets, ALLNO was negative
gernika: cazalla I like the background given on investors and founders involved in the startups covered. Don't have a specific example in mind, but I like the digging.
kakobrekla: http://i.imgur.com/IEGMg2j.png wink wink nudge nudge
assbot: From okcupid (just to also shoot down my own insistence about how good it is!) I - Pastebin.com
cazalla: so october is 1 month down for qntra, if anyone has criticism as well as feedback on what you liked/disliked and want to see more/less of, i'm all ears
mthreat: the house is for sale, I expect to see it on BitPremier soon ;)
mircea_popescu: which i've been notifying.
mircea_popescu: http://pastebin.com/PnsGiZ2A <<< dude... this is just what i do. i save the people who save people from FIRE ☟︎
gernika: I suppose in my mind I conflated being forced to trust certain third parties (my "elected" representative, my bank, the Federal Reserve) and voluntarily trusting random ebay sellers.
