ben_vulpes: just makes hairly manly men that much more of a scarce commodity
decimation: undata: agreed. In the same way, I wouldn't have a problem with free immigration, if it didn't come with infinite benefits as a newly oppressed minority
undata: but were there not a govt handing out welfare to every newly formed oppressed minority it wouldn't be an issue
undata: one can't assign one narrative to a pile as big as the USG
decimation: I would humbly suggest that maybe usg "failed to prepare" because they assumed that once they set the transgendered free from their oppression a new golden age would dawn
ben_vulpes: i'd have a bro in a meshback trucker cap do my sql if they came in at a good rate and didn't need hand holding
Vexual: would you have a ladyboi do your sql?

ben_vulpes: i just cut a client over to aws from heroku and while everything went darn swimmingly, amazon's performance throttling of dbs is pretty painful.

decimation: http://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/update-on-sony-investigation << there is an air of desperation here: "Sony reported this incident within hours, which is what the FBI hopes all companies will do when facing a cyber attack.

asciilifeform has, at most, a demented old colonel in his head, no royalty
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this one you'll apreciate : a good insult to gift someone is "bezmetic"
mircea_popescu: my vacation has developed a number of breasts.
mircea_popescu: jurov lol those are a lot like buridan's ass!
gribble: You rated user naphex on Thu May 15 21:01:35 2014, with a rating of 2, and supplied these additional notes: btcxchange.ro.
ben_vulpes: a rose by any other name?
TomServo: Redneck indeed. An audi requires a silk wifebeater, amateurs!
ben_vulpes: "yes i'd like a martini please"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes you should have seen the dude show up for a business meeting, white cotton wife beater & audi.
mircea_popescu: basically, the horeav dude is a redneck doofus on a power trip, and lying through his teeth.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re the entire btcexchange thing : i know both the people involved, on the grounds they took a trip to timisoara.
ben_vulpes: lol fractional reserve not a problem? hilarious, but go on
Potissimus: it wasn't a problem, but it was a 1 day delay with the funds from bitstamp
Potissimus: a) he started running a fractional reserve, i only noticed when i heard there werent sufficient funds to send from the fiat side. to fill the withdrawal queue
ben_vulpes: you were in a business relationship - yourself on the btc/dev/ops side, himself on the fiat banking/regulatory side, correct?
thestringpuller: asciilifeform laughs "muhaha' as he starts up a proto-cardano
davout: jurov: it's quite strange that they then somehow manage to publish a notice on the server
mats: what a waste of time
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: Seems Naphex and HoreaV have a dispute. More details and drama are probably coming out eventually. Since Naphex hasn't defaced the hell of of the site or run away with everything it seems someone probably broke a contract and they are probably going to try suing the hell out of each other.

Adlai: although fun could be a symptom of in-one-ear-outtheother syndrome
BingoBoingo: But no, cuckoldy Mr. Watch a dick in his wiferson left early
BingoBoingo: Well, crybabi What is your big concern. And what was the bet. That seems quite a bit to bet.
crybabi: but i won't be using bitbet again, charging a fee when you don't provide a service is no way to run a business
crybabi: BingoBoingo: I made a bet and it got refunded, but I only received 4.95 BTC instead of the 5 BTc I sent
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: is a signature from the current key required to change to a new key? << that or ragnarok
danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-12-2014#956930 << is a signature from the current key required to change to a new key? or is this also covered by the "auth" ☝︎
gribble: Error: "tocker" is not a valid command.
BingoBoingo wants to run a limo service after this morning with T-72 and a deck on top
decimation: re: earlier discussion of jet fuel << I believe the abrams uses a turbine, which could burn jp-4
decimation: she was a dev?
mats: staffers don't believe its a problem.
decimation: yeah if someone hacked a freenode server, game over obviously
mats: i for one would like to know what these other methods are. there was a vague finger wag at attacking services
asciilifeform: now if there were a computer answering these - then i would buy.
asciilifeform: hp48 etc << hold in one hand in bed? yes! run on set of batteries for half a year - yes! usable outdoors - yes!
decimation: and if such a custom requirement were needed, why not add as a filter in front of the irc daemon
mats: yes, i suggested this, but then it became 'there are a host of other ways to compel privacy leak'
decimation: the obvious fix would be to hash ip addresses with a private salt
decimation: then the hp49 was a lousy ti knockoff (chassis-wise) but the software was excellent
asciilifeform once owned a 85, then 86, then two separate incarnations of (68k) 89
asciilifeform still has a small box of the variable capacitors used for this, somewhere, deep beneath eons of dust
BingoBoingo: I overclocked a couple for people who had pirate Z80 (gameboy) games
BingoBoingo: I got the calculator realizing that I was not buying it to use as a calculator, but as a standards conforming computer in a particular scenario
decimation: calculators don't help you cheat much on a three question engineering exam where you show full work
asciilifeform: decimation: calculator is a kind of child's 'security blanket' (psychiatric term of art)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The AP-Calc AB test. There was a class training for it, but the local recommendation was anything TI preferably 83. I read and saw -89 with the CAS and decided fuck that.
asciilifeform: decimation: there is a tradition in u.s. schools where folks can bring calculators to exams where they are known to be of no use
decimation: yeah it would be interesting to know about a test that allows ti-89
decimation: well, it kinda does stack oriented calculation, but isn't a fully programmable calc like the -48
asciilifeform: of what is the 33/35s a dumber version ?
decimation: HP has recently conspired with the 'testing' folks to create a dumbed-down 'modern' version: http://ncees.org/exams/calculator-policy/
