BingoBoingo: "Any responsible citizen can file suit" << Why write
a derp piece then and not
a suit?
mats_cd03: found you
a translator and everything!
mats_cd03: ya. i'm going out tonight, so if someone wants to, you've got about
a day to beat me to it
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03 of course, seeing how the prize is ~10x
a fiverr, that article is highly arbitrageable i guess.
mircea_popescu: is there
a word for the activity of "going through your private stash of girlfriend pr0n" ?
jurov: Drones and semi-autonomous household robots could be made to be controllable from
a tablet or smartphone. Distributed markets for drone operators, some of them living in mud huts with nothing more than solar power and mesh-networks, could be very competitive!
cazalla: it's
a week since bitcoin black friday and still, no stats from bitpay, it must've been
a total flop
ben_vulpes: dockerizing so that deploying CI in the future is
a matter of running the provisioner and waiting
a minute.
ben_vulpes: gotta send everyone polite notifications of who's responsible each and every time now to make
a point.
mats_cd03: doing different things like studying the windows kernel, trying to learn malware analysis fundamentals and some of the tooling, docker deployment for dev and prod for
a friend's website, and working on the courts circus project
mats_cd03: just
a guy with an inflated sense of self.
ben_vulpes: <badon> More seriously, VC's like to see
a business leadership that is personally highly invested into the business with their own financial resources. << lol return of spamgun?
danielpbarron: i've done quite
a few face-to-face trades via localbitcoins; never used their escrow. just used it to post my phone number
mircea_popescu: uh.
a broadsheet is like .4 sqm. what's this, 250 gram paper ?
nubbins`: which, i have to say, is
a fucking bogus price
cazalla: don't they have
a bitcoin embassy in ar?
nubbins`: i.e.
a couple neckbeards & wizards puffing themselves up
mircea_popescu: sure, some guy kinda remembers someone buying him
a beer to say something or the other with coinsomething in it. last year.
mircea_popescu: if you look at it isuperficially it appears there's "hundreds" of places in
a 12 million inhabitant town, which is somehow notable (srsly ?). if you actually investigate it, you soon discover they're all fictitious.
nubbins`: something about they lock up funds in
a peculiar way, with onus on btc seller to prove tx went thru?
cazalla: used it once for
a buy, went ok, seems to be plenty of scammers too
mircea_popescu: anyway, anyone got
a localbitcoins account that they're using ? is that thing any cereal ?
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03: what
a useless discussion of trust <<< that's what fucking happens with noobs ALL THE DAMNED TIME. But they know better! But why won't people who do thinks professionally consider their input! But amateurism is
a do-ocracy! But reasons! But considerations! But he's not read five years of tardstalk so five years of tardstalk has never happened. Let's do it again!
Vexual: meanwhile aour two favourite female rappers named for rhododhendrons are in
a twitter feud
Vexual: i bet vuples could fly that thing, 4 joysticks and
a debug panel
BingoBoingo: Thought it was going to be
a discussion of voice
mats_cd03: what
a useless discussion of trust
Vexual: 4 joysticks and
a bluntlighter
BingoBoingo: Well if you want to lurk faster there's
a link to logs in the topic so you can lurk the past too
badon: If you live in Africa, for example, anon derps will risk their lives (and yours) just to get your shoes. In North Europe, an armored car with open doors might not be worth the bother when you can just show up to work every day and earn
a good income.
BingoBoingo: Chance of pulling of
a heist might be worth it to anon derp
badon: Either everyone dies in the next 2 minutes, or they all go home
a little richer.
BingoBoingo: Sure, but you still want to deal with
a name and not an anon derp
badon: It's
a question that is answerable on
a case-by-case basis only.
Vexual: badon: if you wanna quantify people you might as well bring
a tank
badon: BingoBoingo: No, that's not true.
A person might be kind and trustworthy to everyone except Jews, or people who's names start with Q, or whatever. In other words, there is no predictive value in any of these trust models. In other words again, there is no formula.
BingoBoingo:
A person's
a shithead or they aren't. If they aren't
a shithead there's going to be qualitative reasons why they aren't
a shithead.
punkman: total rating is indeed useless as
a number
badon: I'm sure somebody has
a mathematical model of different ways to quantify trust.
BingoBoingo: <badon> My experience has been that these trust models are useless. They're better than complete anonymity, because they end up having some practical monetary value, but the abuse of the trust always eventually becomes more profitable than honoring the trust. Therefore, if I don't trust you, I don't care what your PGP key says. << Trust isn't
a point system though, it is
a name system.
punkman: but it's not
a web of trades
badon: That sounds like
a chemistry experiment.
badon: More seriously, VC's like to see
a business leadership that is personally highly invested into the business with their own financial resources.
badon:
A venture capitalist wants to see an entrepreneur's children's college funds on the line, along with contracts to send them off to work in the mines. Then the VC might take them seriously as somebody who's going to do their best to not lose the business.
BingoBoingo: badon: Retarded is
a large part of why, different system
BingoBoingo: Only
a few weeks of inactivity before freenode drops tham
badon: I feel dirty every time I send
a password to nickserv or chanserv on IRC, but in my case, I use SASL and the Tor hidden service, so it's not plaintext like it might be for ordinary IRC connections.
BingoBoingo: Purpose of the channel takes
a few months.
BingoBoingo: I don't really know how you are being prevented. You joined and
a person voiced you, right?
badon: Is trading
a part of this channel?
BingoBoingo: Freenode gets hacked. Gribble's
a second factor for identifying your self
Vexual: sticks like poo to
a blanket
Vexual: ive got
a few spools of very old solder
mircea_popescu: course bakc when i was
a kid we had this breadboard with springed clamps
decimation: ben_vulpes: I'm running
a patched version of 0.5.3 with your fix, see if I can replicate results
Vexual: what it doubles as
a hammer?

a valid command.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform:
a "bitcoin" "conference"
assbot: ethereum blog | Secret Sharing and Erasure Coding:
A Guide for the Aspiring Dropbox Decentralizer - ethereum blog ... (

mircea_popescu: im starting to suspect buterin is actually
a manufactured identity.
ben_vulpes: an 0.5.3 that needs
a kick in the ass
a few times
a day but can still catch up to chainhead trumps
a power ranger hardfork with no published and serenissima-signed alternative.
decimation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JP-4_(fuel) << "JP-4 was
a non-conductive liquid, prone to build up static electricity when being moved through pipes and tanks. As it is volatile and has
a low flash point, the static discharge could cause
a fire. Beginning in the the mid-1980s an antistatic agent was added to the fuel to lower the charge buildup and decrease the corresponding risk of fires. Flow rates must be controlled, and all the
mircea_popescu: isn't jp-4 the thing that gets
a lot of static if it flows ?
decimation: asciilifeform: the soviets had
a line of 'ground effect' aircraft if I recall
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: So,
a lawyer is inquiring what my hourly rate is as an expert witness... What does everyone else charge? << go for 40. too low you won't seem that expert. too high they'll just get antonoderp.
BingoBoingo: And per diem is essential too, because if I'm going to chicago I'm not staying in
a fucking Motel 8. I'm staying in the Sheraton, as
a professional.
decimation: ben_vulpes: it is
a neat concept. It would probably make
a neat little drone too
decimation: other than the retainer that's pretty much in line for
a qualified professional
ben_vulpes: decimation: not
a "thrust reverser": flip the whole beast around its long axis
decimation: well, ultimately you could build
a rocket that propels you to the high altitude winds of the stratosphere and unfolds massive delicate wings
ben_vulpes: decimation: imagine
a really high aspect ratio diamond
ben_vulpes: decimation: still gotta get from point
a to b - i'd like to see
a thing that eschewed flaps for ducted turbine exhaust.
decimation: ben_vulpes: was this
a remote-control aircraft?
ben_vulpes: i was noodling on
a fully-actuated flying wing last night.
decimation: maryland is famous for having speed traps where
a whole gang of cops wait - bravely stepping into the roadway and flagging speeders
decimation: asciilifeform: my impression upon listening to police helicopter chatter is tha
a majority of the calls for
a helicopter come when either
a kid wonders off or some perp tries to run from the po-lice
decimation: I think if I were to buy an aircraft I would get
a turboprop or small jet
