assbot: Logged on 27-07-2014 19:19:35; mircea_popescu: chetty: II 5. France took Algeria, hoping for
a country to eat cassoulet and instead France is now eating couscous. << this is what happens when small penis messes with big penis.
mircea_popescu: independence is predicated on something other than being
a redditor.
BingoBoingo: I'm pretty sure pNohe sellers could find
a way to make resistive touchscreens fashionable again.
artifexd: Binary would mean shorter messages because fingerprint
a would only take up 20 bytes (instead of 40) and keys would not have to be armored. Text would make the flow easier to read/debug but the data would necessarily take up more space.
BingoBoingo: * asciilifeform will fly to conf3 on
a pig, if this happens << The Fairchild "WartHog"???
mircea_popescu: watch how in
a few short months it won't be possible to buy bitcoin at any price.

a kid being pissed of at some chick, and going to carve "X is
a whore" in the wall

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> now is the theory here that what, the haxxor is using on bitbet the same address that nejc was using on bitbet prior to the "hack" ? because why ? << I don't see any new bets after the 4th. COuld just be
a derp who wanted to "win" to his Bitstamp deposit address?
mircea_popescu: would work for
a bank, wouldn't work for
a newspaper sort of thing ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they also managed this situation where all the shit online carries
a "5000 derps that don't really exist LIKE THIS"
jurov: inside
a company for example
mircea_popescu: obviously "one has no way of knowing" if
a self signed cert is good. but if there's also
a .asc on the server... i'd say it's
a damned sight better than "Verizon certifies"
mircea_popescu: "The IETF, obviously fearing irrelevance, hastily "discovered" that the HTTP/1.1 protocol needed an update, and tasked
a working group with preparing it on an unrealistically short schedule. This ruled out any basis for the new HTTP/2.0 other than the SPDY protocol. With only the most hideous of SPDY's warts removed, and all other attempts at improvement rejected as "not in scope," "too late," or "no consensus," the IE

a million of these.
PeterL: my father-in-law earns
a living at home in his pajamas, programming
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo cazalla here's
a pretty good tip for qntra :
thestringpuller: i'm visualizing
a classroom full of students pointing and laughing at Gavin while he struggles to find emotions and reactions
mircea_popescu: so no, if it lasts forever and it's nothing but
a hellish cried of the tortured all the better.
mircea_popescu: the expensive and painful slow roasting of idiots is
a very valuable output.
thestringpuller: like
a kid having
a temper tantrum in
a store because mommy won't buy him gummy bears
jurov: "Lovers of all things sly gathered to move on
a holiday cheer, tell
a few jokes and lift income for cats with no place to call home." indeed
jurov: Police were called. They contend
a 35-year-old Angus, Ont., male was inebriated and incompetent to scrupulously caring for himself.
fluffypony: "
A self-murder bomber pushing
a minibus full of explosives killed during slightest 30 people Wednesday morning as cadets collected nearby
a military academy in
a heart of Yemen’s capital"
mod6: thestringpuller: Last Of
A Dying Breed
mircea_popescu: maybe you should write
a restatement ? curious how it'd read.
BingoBoingo: * mircea_popescu finds it funny how the same one stump trips erryone. << Had to watchh for
a while, but it clicked all at once
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> [] probably quite
a few folks. but the thing that distinguishes fermat from wot is that wot needs to be at least quasi-'hot' to really work as intended, imho. << strikes me that
a series of "rating" messages should be parsed to build
a rating history.

a" as seen by the lN of "assbot".

a keyset though, not "to everyone"

a time assbot relied on the "authedness" of users via the "gribble" service.
ben_vulpes: how to preserve the serenissima log semantics though? if all "chat lines" are wholly deniable, the notion of
a public forum in which to do business publically falls apart.
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> [] and if i am in your list and you in mine the same is preserved by gossipd. << means that if you want everything you say on the record, operate
a server for your identity.
mircea_popescu: "we were going to make it, so i told the wife, go ahead and get started, i'ma grab

a zek when he 'invented' it
