Vexual: people star running outta centrelink, the cannbis laws wont matter a pinch of shut
Vexual: old quentin must have a bit of arthritis
assbot: Craigslist ad for ‘killer koala GumNut’ a hoax ... ( http://bit.ly/13BkGF6 )
BingoBoingo: http://www.news.com.au/world/ad-from-man-claiming-to-be-looking-for-new-home-for-his-pet-koala-gumnut-on-trading-site-craigs-list-a-hoax/story-fndir2ev-1227155214154
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Nobody. We have so much less than we used to have. We are in the future and the future is a nightmare.
Luke-Jr: someone on reddit complained that I should only do 1 controversial thing at a time, implying there is something else you can FUD about already if you want to
assbot: TIL that a commercial 1989 laptop had a multitasking graphical OS and full office suite, SSD storage and a 60 hour battery life as well as featuring hot-swappable batteries and instant suspend/resume. : todayilearned ... ( http://bit.ly/1AJzPya )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: http://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/1emlsh/til_that_a_commercial_1989_laptop_had_a << witness homo redditicus's reaction
undata: Luke-Jr: you're just demonstrating yourself a liar, which makes me trust you as blacklist-lord less.
danielpbarron: 12:07 <+Luke-Jr> danielpbarron: "spam" and "fee" have no direct relationship << yes they do. if I spend an old output, no fee required; i spend a new output with no fee, tx doesn't get spread
Luke-Jr: undata: only a child* maybe
danielpbarron: Luke-Jr, how can a transaction be "spam" when it pays a fee?
Luke-Jr: defaulting to the reference policy is also a default. are you going to claim it's "core devs" pushing that on people?
undata: Luke-Jr: what mental gymnastics do you use to define a blacklist?
Luke-Jr: ben_vulpes: any default is a default
ben_vulpes: now distributed as a default for gentoo.
ben_vulpes: so this is a sensible default.
undata: folks we've got a decider in the house.
Luke-Jr: the maintainer of the package always decides what is a sensible default.
undata: you decided your patch was a sensible default, though the "core devs" did not
undata: which is the expectation of what a *maintainer* does
danielpbarron: he doesn't have the right or ability to effect such a change; that's not the issue
BingoBoingo: Luke-Jr: Paying for a transaction is literally the definition of not spam.
danielpbarron: "filling??" when was the last time there was a full block?
ben_vulpes: please, at least, link to the point in the log where you explained how these small transactions are a ddos.
Luke-Jr: it's distributed, by using gambling as a front to get others to cover the expense
ben_vulpes: again, Luke-Jr - how is this a ddos?
Luke-Jr: danielpbarron: the gambling front is just a way to get someone else paying the cost of bypassing Bitcoin's primary spam prevention (tx fees)
danielpbarron: a DDoS in which the victims are compelled to... gamble?
ben_vulpes: how precisely a ddos?
asciilifeform: Luke-Jr: given that you have admitted to lacking a backup plan when they start switching addrs
Luke-Jr: it's a DDoS, except at the Bitcoin layer rather than TCP
Luke-Jr: the "game" is just a tool they use to involve others
undata: ^ this is a mind which has touched the holy source
undata: ben_vulpes: what a crock
kakobrekla: ;;rate keystrike 1 for the purpose of #b-a voice
joecool: i wonder if we'll ever see a market of people acquiring old keys....
keystroke: but i think the main idea is to prove generation keys anyway as the idea is to establish an early position rather than a certain size of bitcoin holdings which is ideally kept mostly private
keystroke: i am glad to see a crypto only reputation system here
keystroke: yea i know that's a shame
keystroke: i never delete private keys but that wallet is in cold storage so i will just recreate with a different identity and start anew as the old one never had any reputation anyway :)
joecool: only a btc addr, so provided you still control the private key for that address, you should be able to auth
keystroke: i suppose i can auth by signing a message with the private key of that bitcoin address?
keystroke: mined back in 2009 for a bit and then from 2011 to late 2012
Luke-Jr: obviously. you'd rather make them up, than give a crap what they really are.
undata: no one gives a shit about your intentions
undata: Luke-Jr: satoshi left out a feast; you are a fly crawling on it claiming it as your own.
undata: Luke-Jr: having read the threads on the gentoo bug tracker, you are confirmed as a slimy piece of shit.
kakobrekla: this is a good one, gets it in the fukin eye http://www.japanesebugfights.com/11.htm
mats: there's one where a scorpion lookin thing flips a wasp, pins it, and then kills it by eating his butt
kakobrekla: he is just caught in a local pain minimum.
assbot: School punishes blind child by taking away cane and replacing it with a pool noodle | FOX2now.com ... ( http://bit.ly/1zw0XkR )

cazalla: gabriel_laddel: PeterL: its just a request, he has 0 obligation to follow up on it. <<< ya, let the man share his ideas, no harm
cazalla: gabriel_laddel: cazalla: consider this a request for a qntra article entitled... <<< good idea, noted.
davout: BingoBoingo: i think catholicism isn't too far from qualifying as a 'farm ailment'
BingoBoingo: Luke-Jr: It's traditionally a woolcutter's disease.
asciilifeform: emacs aficionados! turns out, openbsd has a separate 'emacs21' port, of that version, sans all of the retardation and shitgnomery
danielpbarron: 11:29 <+decimation> I bet outlaw restaurants have good food too << reminds me of a place nearby that used to have great food until the owner got ousted for tax evasion; under new management the food sucks
BingoBoingo: What kind of Catholic isn't ready to be a Shepherd?
BingoBoingo: Do you really want to drive a trailer with an angry ram
Luke-Jr: the reason I'd avoid a drive is that someone else in my area is picking up theirs
Luke-Jr: so I have less than 24 hours to decide whether to purchase an ewe & ram with the ability to avoid a 5 hour drive… any opinions? :p
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: can't find the naggum article I referenced earlier, but anyways yes - the process of choosing a hero in the USSA isn't by any stretch of imagination random.
asciilifeform: anyone else sickened by 'sendmail' taking a whole mb of ram ?
decimation: BingoBoingo: what's even funnier is that pop culture is seen as a source of authority :)
assbot: Logged on 18-09-2014 16:53:26; asciilifeform: xmj: if i knew, i'd become a sysadmin.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: yeah, difficult to get ahold of in bezzle land, which increasingly seems to prefer to "select a hero at random" (as per naggum).
assbot: Logged on 30-09-2014 20:25:59; asciilifeform: mats_cd03: depends on hypothetical destination. but, overall, just picture a figure large enough to 'become taleb' and live as 'gentleman scholar' in total disconnect from economic reality around you.
assbot: 1 results for 'live taleb' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=live+taleb
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: iirc, that was mircea_popescu describing the virtues of working on inventions in a yurt in patagonia. but the thought experiment presumed infinite (or at least, adequate) funding.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: right, however I seem to recall some #b-a persons attempting to convince you to leave the us for an actual jungle.
asciilifeform: i'm already making it in a jungle. but a jungle with warm bed, good food, reasonable instrumentation, and opportunity for work that doesn't send me in search of a pistol to fellate
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: I'm not one of those attempting to get you to emigrate and make the cardano in a jungle or w/e.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: kk. I had somehow gotten the impression that you were of both opinions a & b, which I find odd.
asciilifeform: what do you imagine i do here in #b-a.
asciilifeform: networking with folks in other territories is, i think, a very good use of time.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: so you're of the opinions that a) it isn't worth my time to network with people in other territories and b) usg is going to collapse?
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: and interesting problems only ever happen in the us of a?
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: well, yes. I simply do not program anything other than Common Lisp. but because I can do this at $mylocation doesn't mean that there doesn't exist a soul in e.g., Russia who would be willing to pay me to do it.
kakobrekla: as a person.
kakobrekla: still livin in a doggy house
asciilifeform: but more about the fact that once you've lived as a man, do not ever again wish to live as a dog.
asciilifeform: working on projects largely conceived of by self, with folks with whom i have a years-long business relation
asciilifeform: as useless a statistic as 'life expectancy'
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: If you have ideas you can submit a draft, but cazalla lives in a country where you can't get butter spreading devices without showing ID
gabriel_laddel: PeterL: its just a request, he has 0 obligation to follow up on it.
asciilifeform: for instance, afaik, white man anywhere in east asia is either a miserable wretch, a hermit, or largely confined to an enclave of his own kind.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: you left out an important bit - how much you (for particular value of 'you') even make sense there as a foreign devil
gabriel_laddel: cazalla: consider this a request for a qntra article entitled "the promised land" with exit points: Russia, Israel, Argentina & China weighing the relative tradeoffs of each with the angle that the US is going to fail. things I'm interested in knowing about each territory: character of the rule of law, taxes, status of the tech scene, character of the gov., description of major cities, # of nuclear reactors and thei
BingoBoingo: PeterL: Sort of a no public rating deal
PeterL: so sort of a L2 -1?
BingoBoingo: I dunno there real is a serious one. States are sluts. They all flirt with each other until someone gets the clap. Russia though does better business with Israel's neighbors.
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: Because they can't repel all of their enemies. Israel has had a chronic ally shortage.
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: If USia disappears Israel probably becomes untenable as a state
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform is a person for whom programing is incidental to his other goals
asciilifeform: i'm a... sorta what naggum was.
