BingoBoingo: rithm: There's one that always has that spread
a couple towns over.
mircea_popescu: it's kind-of remarkable (not really) just how self-labeling stupidity actually is. the difference between trying to "explain yourself" as an idiot and simply wearing
a lot of large "hey everyone, i'm the idiot!" signs and tags is hard to notice.
mircea_popescu: that what the us considers important thinkers have no access to basic data, because they're isolated on
a WoI, should speak volumes.
mircea_popescu: "And for three years it worked. But on Thursday the Swiss suddenly gave up. We don’t know exactly why; nobody I know believes the official explanation, that it’s
a response to
a weakening euro. " << ha-ha. everyone you DON'T know knows the explanation. it was published on fucking trilema for crissakes, not even as
a news item.
mircea_popescu: "With the two attacks we thwarted in 2014, the GUI development had to take
a bit of
a backseat." << in depth description ? links ? somehow for me to evaluate if they're due to the world being full of idiots (ddos ?) or the devs being idiots (we were using ruby!!1)
mircea_popescu: (when what looks like
a term of art has basically two apparently divorced meanings via google, it's suspicious if they don't seem mutually aware)
mircea_popescu: "OpenAlias is different. Not only does it "square Zooko's triangle" " << the entire discusison of that thing (my mind went, ok, let's try and poke one particular thing and see" is nice and all for the zooko discussion, but
a) it's not clear to me what's the relation to open alias corporation if any
davout: i was personnally quite impressed by the "let's start by
a financial report"
mircea_popescu: Testing infrastructure consists of
a Mac Mini hosted at MacStadium, as well as
a beefy testing box hosted at Hetzner in Germany, on which we have
a number of VMs for the various operating systems and variants we target. >> much better.
davout: mircea_popescu: maybe in the sense that it was inherited as
a messy bytecoin code base
mircea_popescu: 35 weeks of development (245 days) since Monero was inherited by the Core Team 594 separate commits << inherited by whom ? how ? if that inherited had linked to
a gpg signed testament...
mircea_popescu: aid at all, but we've put
a significant amount of funds into Monero)."
thestringpuller: And instead of being arrested by feds and tried, Obama would have sent
a drone.
thestringpuller:
a super villian would have been running this shit from Africa and would have actually killed people in the process
fluffypony: thestringpuller: nah, probably only
a couple of minutes - you have to remember that he would only have heard the news shortly before that Tweet, what with the self-induced mocha frappacino coma binge he's been on lately
BingoBoingo: Well Where might McCaleb have met Kapeles if not the silk road over
a spoonful of black tar?
fluffypony: yep it doubles up to 6gb when its spooling to disk (every 12 hours), as it creates
a copy of the blockchain object
jurov: it worked for maybe
a day, then linux died
fluffypony: davout: how short
a summary do you want?
davout: fluffypony: do you know
a monero executive summary?
midnightmagic: that's
a good idea.. for
a long time I thought I'd have to cast
a form out of carbon fiber or something
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: I've been looking for
a heel form specifically like that to wear for long trips in my sportscar. Minus all the metal and straps. I think
a heel form support over the outside of
a vibram would probably double my range without rest.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic they look to me like
a steel frame tied to the calf and foot.
decimation: so, the chinese peasant is
a textile hobbyist in the way that the 'computer geek' is
a programming hobbyist?
mircea_popescu: it's what computer geek means, these days. "shy, socially awkward teenager that doesn't know how to use computers, in spite of spending
a lot of time with them"
mircea_popescu: like gavin, or the rest. the million people that's
a million extra hands on github
mircea_popescu: anyway, if ever there was
a social experiment to illustrate just how little computer geeks understand, bitcoin's it.
decimation: kodak is an excellent example of
a company selling off its economically viable business for no reason
decimation: but that was the case
a few weeks ago, and the future has fallen
decimation: I guess the simple call-put analysis would imply
a future increase in price
decimation: interesting, the march 15 euro future on CME is at $1.16, with
a $1.16 call at $0.0248 and put at $0.0195
assbot: The trial is going in the favor of defense and they are panicking so we can't give them
a reason to anonymize the jury. No signs. No signs.
BingoBoingo: The Silk Road Aministrator title is
a reference to the plot of that film.
mircea_popescu: decimation it's as fucking unbriliant as
a lump of coal. at the end of the week, instead of having

decimation: it's
a brillant scam if you can run it
decimation: hey little engineer derp! here's $5k for us supressing your wage for
a decade - it's cool because the newspapers have said google is bad
mircea_popescu: why's google, apple and etc not pay
a trillion ? it's just bezzlars anyway.
decimation: of course, esteemed professors in USG law explain how this is good: Ms. Lobel said. “But it’s
a good result in that there has been much media attention to the illegality of such retention practices, real monetary consequences and promises to cease all such practices in the future.”"
mircea_popescu: but they can spend
A TRILLION for
a shitty plane, those people ?
decimation: have amounted to
a few thousand dollars for each of the 64,000 class members."
mircea_popescu: ??! I don’t want him to hate me because I have
a crush on his hot friend, but rape is not ok. I let him continue and we both came, but it’s natural to have sensations even when raped. I can’t even think straight anymore idk what to do. Thinking about posting his Facebook here."
mircea_popescu: generally the paper revolutionaries looking for
a little "investment" tend to make it clear they don't actually wish to rock the boat.
mircea_popescu: hey ivan chesnokov : apply will you. all you need is
a gpg sig, you can sit behind 7 proxies for all i care.
mircea_popescu: that's
a good fucking question lmao. sks fired from the hip by teenage boys in rural texas ? no wonder people can't land fucking rockets.
decimation: really, moldbug 'needs' at least
a few $bil to make hardware
undata: what
a terrifying syntax
decimation: okay so there's
a pre-pressurized tank that is at the top of the rocket, it runs out of pressure after pissing out its fluid
ben_vulpes: decimation: i don't think it's "leaking" so much as it's not
a traditional "closed" hydraulic system.
decimation: but the guy who wrote it could be
a 'tard
thestringpuller: ben_vulpes: docker is like being
a kid at christmas all over again
decimation: so this is
a tacit admission that they can't hire anymore?

assbot: By the way, here's my 2013 interview with Silk Road's DPR that the DHS told
a judge "sounds very much like Karpeles"
http://t.co/ZFOtAXLbXL Apocalyptic: probably
a literal translation of "noir sur blanc" as the idiomatic expression goes

a paper fixing new orbits for the solar system.
mircea_popescu: what
a fortunate thing it is that in bitcoin, unlike in the united states, men with no means have no vote.

a very private boarding house. I took
a reporter's berth and went to work. I was not entirely broken in spirit, for I was building confidently on the sale of the silver mine in the east. But I could not hear from Dan. My letters miscarried or were not answered.
mircea_popescu: The bubble scarcely left
a microscopic moisture behind it. I was an early beggar and
a thorough one. My hoarded stocks were not worth the paper they were printed on. I threw them all away. I, the cheerful idiot that had been squandering money like water, and thought myself beyond the reach of misfortune, had not now as much as fifty dollars when I gathered together my various debts and paid them. I removed from the hot
mircea_popescu: erchants, lawyers, doctors, mechanics, laborers, even the very washerwomen and servant girls, were putting up their earnings on silver stocks, and every sun that rose in the morning went down on paupers enriched and rich men beggared. What
a gambling carnival it was! Gould and Curry soared to six thousand three hundred dollars

mircea_popescu: Something very important happened. The property holders of Nevada voted against the State Constitution; but the folks who had nothing to lose were in the majority, and carried the measure over their heads. But after all it did not immediately look like
a disaster, though unquestionably it was one I hesitated, calculated the chances, and then concluded not to sell. Stocks went on rising; speculation went mad; bankers, m
