mircea_popescu: cazalla: anyone ever heard of people buying fkn rattlesnakes from silk road type sites before? << yes, actually,
i knew a derp raising pot and poisonous reptiles in romania. fortunately he had no idea what the web is, but otherwise, exactly what lanky ragaddy hair hippy you'd expect for the role.
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03: my understanding of the digest system is shallow, and
i've been hesitant to do any serious filtering in the event
i miss something <<< in computers generally, understood as the php-machine (ie, text processing, the actual porn that drove early computing), this approach has proven flawed. it is more effectual and more efficient to make a set of filters that delivers *something* and then make more passes with
cazalla:
i'd rather just point the reader to the author's website and they can go from there than bother with amazon affill
cazalla: just so it's clear though,
i have no intention of inserting aff codes to skim
cazalla: righto,
i'll just dump anything that might be perceived as an aff link
mircea_popescu: cazalla and fwiw,
i see no problem promoting the ravi guy, if he makes a sale or two out of the feature even better, he's ok. but generally speaking.
mircea_popescu:
i wouldn't really go that far. let them be, as long as they're worth linking they're worth linking.
mircea_popescu:
i have no idea what their codes look like,
i go by "is there anything past the address". in this case www.amazon.in/God-Gamer-Ravi-Subramanian-ebook/dp/B00MY74DJG << makes me think that's an affiliate code.
cazalla: general links is something
i wanted to discuss anyway
cazalla: which is why there is no affiliate code included with the link,
i avoid the same shit
cazalla: so you don't want me to link to amazon?
i don't think it's worth the time to setup an affiliate code for qntra with amazon, might net $10 a year at best
decimation:
I post this because
I think it serves as a warning to usg bureaucrats - there may come a day when your 'successful career' might be seen in a very different light by your peasant neighbors.
RagnarDanneskjol:
i might be interested if you're considering sponsorship/investors cazalla
pete_dushenski: actually, this raises a question
i might've missed in the logs...
mats_cd03: but it might be helpful for me to learn more about it, so
i appreciate the advice

i miss something
mats_cd03:
i'm currently using westlaw, which is referenced to the west key system
mthreat: first, it's been 15 years since
I did this.
I was in prison, so books only, no computers. But
I'm 99% sure the west key systems is still teh same, it's just online now. (It was online then, actually, but
I wasn't).
mats_cd03:
i'd welcome any advice you have to offer
mats_cd03:
i suspect
i'm overlooking something simple, but
i guess ill figure it out after
i get through a few more judges
mthreat: mats_cd03: ok..
I asked because
I did legal research and wrote briefs for 4 years.. maybe
I can give some advice on legal research methods. Like using the West Key system,e tc
mats_cd03:
i'm chaining various terms in a boolean search of law databases
gabriel_laddel: mats_cd03:
I'm curious do you think a NN would help in your search? What are you searching for?
The20YearIRCloud:
I can't believe just how many people there are that are fighting over this $500/mo rental
I Posted up yesterday
mats_cd03: for Africk and Bennett
i was only able to find 1 relevant case each after reading ... ~1500 pages
mats_cd03: BingoBoingo: got any tips for this legal research?
i'm struggling to parse meaningful data from a small mountain of case law
BingoBoingo:
I am tired and on the verge of a food coma, but
I wonder... When in the name of extremitude and derp will a cooking reality show feature competitors trying to carve a tenderloin filet steak off of a live bull.
BingoBoingo: thickasthieves: Yeah,
I mean WTF? Scientific American is qntra nao?
cazalla: maybe it is static, last time
i checked it was dynamic ipv4
cazalla: nfi specifically,
i'll reset and see
nubbins`: ;;later tell thestringpuller only copy
i've got left is my proof,
i dun wanna send it to you :\
xanthyos: sorry,
i'm used to dealing with absolute degenerate immoral filth in my internet peers who have a higher tolerance for ugly things than pretty things
thickasthieves:
i dont think any of us will be hanging posters of mr buttcoin
nubbins`: also, fuck you for reposting, altho
i shoulda known
nubbins`: "
i should dress like some canadian asshole who sits on his ass on irc all day"
nubbins`: oh fuck

assbot: Logged on 01-10-2014 20:43:07; hanbot: mircea_popescu,
i guess the trick you're not sharing here is that you'll be adding mining to this later on, huh?
ben_vulpes: if
i recall correctly, japan's orbital vehicle got into orbit with no onboard control, just a gravity turn.
ben_vulpes:
i suspect trajectory planning had lots of sims run. fuel combinations, maybe a few.
ben_vulpes:
i never got a good answer on how much monte carlo work went into the 60's space programs during the design phase and how much was back of the envelope estimating.
mircea_popescu:
i suppose the more kinetic mommentum one can put behind the rocket, the lower total energy needed for a successful launch
assbot: Things
I Won't Work With: Peroxide Peroxides. In the Pipeline:
mircea_popescu: A samurai chemist and a plain chemist walk into a bar. The first says, “Can
I have a glass of H2O.” The second says “Can
I have a glass of water too.” The first chemist broke down in tears – his assassination attempt had failed.
RagnarDanneskjol: that comment was taken out of context, but
I asked him to not bother coming back
mircea_popescu: PeterL:
I have a question about deedbot: << deedbot is currently dead and being reimplemented.
nubbins`: what do
i do with my existing bbq?
nubbins`: wtf am
i going to do with AC here!
mircea_popescu: aaanyway : generally you have a point, in a healthy organism
i'm with the organism against the parasites
nubbins`:
i'm not talking about your russians here
mircea_popescu: the russians don't understand how the world works,
i tell you.
nubbins`: what
i don't get is that all these fucking assholes get rich and they just BLOW IT ALL on watches and cars and shit
mircea_popescu: "But
I have to admit,
I'd never thought much about the next analog of hydrogen peroxide. Instead of having two oxygens in there, why not three: HOOOH? Indeed, why not? This is a general principle that can be extended to many other similar situations. Instead of being locked in a self-storage unit with two rabid wolverines, why not three? Instead of having two liters of pyridine poured down your trousers, why not three?
Adlai: well yes, my cousin did avise me once, "
I have one piece of advice for you: don't tell any jokes."
thickasthieves:
i dont think anyone has reported it yet, nor Deprived's leaving (he is connected via the bonds)
thickasthieves:
I also have some of the emails with her statements if you want sources

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: <cazalla> mircea_popescu:
I could swear the original DOJ Press release didn't have the 'y', but it looks like that has been updated too. <<< budovsk is a strange amount of name for an arthur to have.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel: screens coming shortly. <<<
i didn't know you were a video guru :D
mircea_popescu: there've been sporadic reports of mpex.co not working, and
i saw it report the wrong ip ONCE
Adlai: right, just some dns hiccups on the one domain that
i knew of
Adlai: well, last time it wasn't loading... now there's some .wsbitcoin thingy and
i'm confused
Adlai: well
i'm sticking around because
i'm hoping to find out what happened to MPEX
PeterL:
I havn't been banned yet
PeterL:
I don't think
I was ever invited
Adlai: oh nice,

mircea_popescu: Anduck yeah
i see that.
i was trying to discuss it with sirius last night but he's not very talkative. you involved ?
PeterL:
I was just asking about deebbot, but
I think punkman cleared up my questions
punkman:
I take the hash of each deed, concatenate those to create the "bundle", then hash the bundle and make a private key out of that
punkman:
I rewrote it slightly different
PeterL:
I may be wrong, but
I think that is different from what it is currently doing?
thickasthieves: and
i assume it's possible that may change with new version
