mike_c: sweet. i think any changes that involve giving mike some stuff is a good idea.

mircea_popescu: i am unilaterally modifying that thing, and will release the 10% blocks to our accounts later this week.
mircea_popescu: last time i tried to do it "bring your gf" but mostly ppl didn't.
mircea_popescu: i guess ima run a poll see if people want fambly friendly or what.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi what to do here, i mean the town is hooker central, but i don't imagine people would much like the italian arrangement
los_pantalones: maybe i'll bring the family and we'll venture out
mircea_popescu: if you look at a map, it's outside the perimeter i described :)
los_pantalones: i'll be in bucharest next summer for a bit, i'll report on the veracity of your claims
mircea_popescu: i don't mean other places don't have good food, but if you're european/(french-italian branch), there's just nowhere to go.

mircea_popescu: decimation: when I was a boy scout in my youth I went hiking up in Philmont in northern new mexico - they told horror stories << re retarded human shamans : here they tell horror stories about muggings. i have, in months, observed exactly one attempt, and it was a clearly us bum trying to pass himself as belgian and doing the talking business. clueless enough to not even fucking spot me, the idiot. but otherwise : ever
mircea_popescu: decimation: TheNewDeal: i've heard that black bears aren't so aggressive as long as you don't corner a cub << bears generally aren't aggressive at all. felides&canides are aggressive if very hungry or during mating season, but otherwise you can get out and people have for ages. animal aggressivity is a cost/benefit consideration, they';re not the convenient antichrist retarded human shamans preach.
kdomanski_: I'm suprised to see there aren't any bets related to what Russia is doing
RagnarDanneskjol: I believe this is rather impossible to break

decimation: reminds me of that Herzog documentary "Happy People". One of the men they follow is a trapper who spends the Siberian winter alone in the taiga trapping animals. He said "I used to raise cattle, and I could never bring myself to slaughter them. Because there is, say, a bull. You raise him for two years. It comes to you expecting you to show affection or give it some treat and instead he gets a bullet in the head. In the taiga, the
TheNewDeal: I've heard the same, or even women's menses

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: why'd they bring back baronies? 'fuse' ? (i.e. somebody for the next set of bolsheviks to guillotine, so normal people might escape ?)
mircea_popescu: i kinda like the guy for this reason alone.
TheNewDeal: canon city is where i go rock climbing ery yeare
mircea_popescu: i shook hands with chimps, they're not THAT strong for crying out loud.
mircea_popescu: these people are idiots. why would i hit it.
mircea_popescu: "And I bet that Mr. Lee can hit pretty hard. I'm wondering if his ability to block/dodge/fend off the chimpanzee would give him the advantage."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'd choose the chimp and fucking maul it.
mircea_popescu: i have no idea why they're not yet extinct, but it's right there on my list after mosquitoes.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` you know i don't get this general conspiracy to stuff monkeys down kids' throats

cazalla: mircea_popescu, i had planned to forum post past weekend, came down with flu so didn't get the chance, fever is the worst
nubbins`: http://i.imgur.com/5xEspAc.jpg
decimation: yeah, I think the conditions of weather, population density, living arrangements, etc imprint themselves during childhood
boolrap: yeah i like something a bit more exciting
boolrap: i think if you do it 10 times you get transported to another world
decimation: I wonder how many folks 'commute' between hemispheres to avoid winter
boolrap: yeah i could not live there, i need winter time
boolrap: i see
mircea_popescu: boolrap well obviously, i mean, no kitchen robots and the like.
mircea_popescu: and mind you i have exactly no appliances here.
kakobrekla: there are also psychological effects - i wonder if we would see a diff if i added a fake 5 min timer at the last step of the bet address request.
boolrap: i dont see this.
boolrap: i think ur dad is more likely to take you out and get u killed.
mircea_popescu: as far as i know, 99% of it is "i wish i had a dad"
mircea_popescu: i seriously never met anyone who regretted not having more mom.
boolrap: yeah i heard that before
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla i hear from people "using" coinbase.
kakobrekla: i hear from people who i sent to use the thing
decimation: asciilifeform: re: apple phone clones << still no qwerty-keyboard phone released recently as far as I know
boolrap: well i know where it is
decimation: I skimmed that paragraph apparently
mircea_popescu: i remember a time when newspapers were worth reading, they came in wet ink and you knew the names of the editors.

decimation: http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/15297-if-i-had-asked-people-what-they-wanted-they-would
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla i was using the term people in the limited sense of "people in bitcoin", not in the general sense of "mouthbreather kept on life support by usg"
kakobrekla: not the one i mentioned before
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah agreed. Although to mojang's credit they apparently make $240 mn per year. Yeah I forgot whatsapp
decimation: re: microsoft paying $2bn for mojang: I saw the news this morning and lol'ed. $3.2 bn for nest, $2bn for mojang; only $3 bn for high-power specialty manufacturer that has $1bn in revenue per year
kakobrekla: i dont see it as much problematic
mircea_popescu: 3 days, you know what i'm saying ?
decimation: asciilifeform: I suspect nearly all brands have such controllers, the fun part is learning how to access backdoor
asciilifeform: decimation: cheap but i/o-poor.
kakobrekla: <mircea_popescu> but i mean, bitbet works just fine without expiring addresses < cause bb has to do with fiat as much as well.. with fiat.
chalbersma: mp I'll take a look at it but I'm not entirely sure how to do it. I'll have to read more into the procedure of generating that coinbase.
decimation: diametric: I agree with asciilifeform re: that FST-01 device for TRNG - there are just too many potential gotchas with a low-quality ADC, why bother when a much simpler circuit would suffice?
mircea_popescu: it's nice supporting foss authors and everything, but i doubt the guy can or would spend atc.
chalbersma: I think.
mircea_popescu: but i mean, bitbet works just fine without expiring addresses
chalbersma: mp. I've been looking at the bit that donation transaction that generates the donation to forrestv's address. I've found one alternative p2pool implementation that had a different coinbase script but I'm not sure how to generate it. I'll have to look more into it tomorrow.
DiabloD3: seriously, I know women who would be fired for sexual harassment of men
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i srsly never met a us born/bred woman that had trouble with good chocolate.

mircea_popescu: a bucket list being the list of things the assholes in question were hoping to do before i got to them.
mircea_popescu: at least that's how i use it.
mircea_popescu: i stopped the car, got out and spent the next hour screaming at people on the phone.

ThickAsThieves: posters i still enjoy
ThickAsThieves: i liked the vanads project, but in reality i find myself being quite preoccupied with removing advertising from my life
kdomanski: I see
asciilifeform: the original 'salami slicer' thief, if i recall, stole the rounding error at a large bank.
chalbersma: Only if you leave the default donation is the .25 per block given. I've set the manual donation to 0.
ThickAsThieves: asbbot i guess
chalbersma: I added the minimum to make the code work. It can be changed in the future.
mircea_popescu: and moreover, i'm not promoting this sort of behaviour.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I think it is just the guy who developed this thing hardcoded donations to himself.
chalbersma: @mircea_popescu let me see if I can find an explanation of it.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: X-Rob: I've rented hash and pointed it there for 48 hours. Hopefully this drives the pool diff up or... << i don't get it, the pool diff can't be arbitrarily set ?
ThickAsThieves: i have some cows that shit circles
ThickAsThieves: i guess theyll all be in iOS soon
