PeterL: just fill your house with argon and live inside
a spacesuit!
decimation: asciilifeform: instead we have the 'fire brigade' who show up with
a tank full of kerosene
PeterL: but I might be
a bit biased, all my girlfriends before I was 20 were immigrants
BingoBoingo: PeterL> decimation: you might be right. My employer (from what my coworkers tell me) has to go through
a ton of red tape and paperwork to keep them here << Grandpa pays the same $80/month for medicare part B

BingoBoingo: Human compilers might have had
a brighter future is 68k stayed
a thing
decimation: asciilifeform: you raise
a good point about the h1b whining. the real problem is: how do 'tech' companies manage to profitably 'employ' legions of unskilled workers tasked with doing nothing of use?
assbot: Buterin's Waterfall,
a Likbez | Qntra.net
BingoBoingo: In other news picked up
a new sharp object today for pencil sharpening and protecting the starfish against less than state level malefactors.
Adlai: it almost looked like
a satire of some hypothetical nice tidy explanation of how ether flows about or whoknowswhattardation
mircea_popescu: nanotube btw, give deeds.bitcoin-assets.com
a spin sometime ? i think it may well be ready.
Adlai: what exactly is your sleep schedule in such
a week?
Adlai: the deed system does seem like
a step forwards from gribble-wot
dub: praps in
a month or two when noggin is operational
mircea_popescu: dub i dunno, what am i, the micromanaging tyrant of
a cult ?
mircea_popescu: and since the b-
a domain is so powerful, you'll prolly fuck up their google fu forever.
mircea_popescu: Adlai nothing keeps you from making that
a deed right now.
mircea_popescu: the ONLY way it can become something other than
a dump is inextricably linked to getting the legal system, so.
mircea_popescu: for as long as the place is
a dump inhabited by mexicans and indians, its not really needed
mircea_popescu: well, exactly like there was missing
a way to sue people in the western terrirories.
Adlai: although still missing is
a way of negrating people who aren't yet in the wot
Adlai: "outside the law" and "sue" now take on tiered meanings, with each transgression offering up
a new avenue of redress. i like this.
BingoBoingo: Goes back to if there is an unauthorized Penguin edition of
a nubbins' #B-
A book. Penguin gets real sued.
mircea_popescu: so today, if one is in the wot, he gets neg'd. and if is not... club->head, according to what that means currently, ie, sued in
a fiat court of "law".
mircea_popescu: this lasted until
a year or two ago , and which point the wot became the legal system. at this point necessarily the previous, obsolete fiat cvasi-legal system became the club->head method.
mircea_popescu: centuries ago, the natural mode of administering justice was, club over head. the legal system was developed as
a better alternative to this. so, if one was reachable by the courts, you'd sue. if not however, club->head.
mircea_popescu: the contemporary equivalent of "i'll send
a bunch of rogues to stab you in the throat"
mircea_popescu: well, english does not have
a proper impersonal pronoun.
Adlai: negrating doesn't hurt anybody who's not in the WoT, and
a fair amount (all?) of copyrasta economic activity is done outside of the WoT...
Adlai knows it's just
a figure of speech
Adlai: Q:"what do you do?"
A:"i'm
a career student" Q:"damn, how are the student loans hitting you?"
A:"actually, i just got tenured"
mircea_popescu: Adlai no, it's correlated with " go work for
a trader, write software to improve process." in
a simple, lienar fashion.
Adlai: these are rather narrow paths, though.
a nice path enables many to walk abreast.
mircea_popescu: the shortcut to this being, go work for
a trader, write software to improve process.
Adlai: participation in the brainstorm requires accepting into your heart the axiom that the market is
a positive-sum game
Adlai begins
a slow-paced infinite brainstorm of how to monetize open source trading software
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes time for bitcoin foundation to issue
a statement that the only thing bitcoin needs is for politicians and other leeches to stfu and go away ?
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: If the day ever comes where you want to switch professions from engineer to gangsta, I'm totally down to ride or die with you. Lets just hope it never comes to that ;) <<< if you two do that,
a film is guaranteed.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: supay: Qntra takes
a lot of things. <<< yeah, but not kidz! we do not take your kidz!
mircea_popescu: decimation: most folks today never learn about the complete Apocalypse that faced german people after wwii <<< i hear berlin chicks had
a lot of fun in '45.
assbot: The guy who bought
a Tesla with Bitcoin? It was the "DPR2" from Silk Road....pillar of industry : Buttcoin
BingoBoingo:
A, well. Hard to fire people when there isn't
a payroll...
cazalla: well, BingoBoingo brought yesterdays traffic so if he can't maintain it for more than
a day....
BingoBoingo: Crank bait also refers to
a sort of fishing lure with parts that move in the water to increase the attention it commands of the fish
thestringpuller: "could you use it in
a sentence" "asciilifeform: der wagen was decorated with
a number of 'end the fed' stickers. apparently this is considered adequate crank bait."
jurov: Local Bitcoin exchanges such as Independent Reserve, which launched last month, depend on
a stable regulatory environment to maintain legitimacy.
cazalla: fark, someone is doing
a doxx on silkroad guy same time as i am, so my article is not
a copy/pasta job
bounce: ``Other than Garrett Keirns, none of the companies that WIRED reached out to this week have received SEC letters. But some of them also also want to work with the SEC to make these technologies more widely available.'' -- this is going to carry
a heavy price.
dub: what
a goddamn disgraceful display of inbreeding that face is
thestringpuller: xiando: the concerning issue for me is the US OTC market will become as dangerous as drug dealing. If you need
a duffelbag full of cash to complete the transaction, then I'd be more worried about rival gang members.
xiando: thestringpuller: Several US states claim that you need
a money transmitter license to buy or sell BTC worth more than $300/year, search and you will find several cases of people being arrested for doing so. :-/ (not
a joke)
rithm: so drug dealing itself is ironically referred to as
a trap
rithm: the dope house or dope spot can be referred to as the trap or
a trap
kakobrekla: <mike_c> add it as
a footnote < lucky i have an endless scroll
mike_c: ilikebitbet: that's actually being added to the bitbet analyzer on btcalpha, so you could check back there in
a week or two.
assbot:
A humble proposal to Bitcoin miners pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.

mircea_popescu: kakobrekla thats not static :D << the alternative is actually something
a la usb drive mess discussed
a week ago or so
bounce: o_O what's the alternative,
a dynamically allocated user?
kakobrekla: >irc: Used by irc daemons.
A statically allocated user is needed only because of
a bug in ircd, which SETUID()s itself to
a given UID on startup.
z33andO_o: Interesting: It is not just SR2, this is
a coodinated. I took
a brief look at the other darknet markets
z33andO_o: As I understand it they got the SR1 wallet by recovering
a deleted unencrypted version of it, who knows if he learnt from that
bounce: only because that other guy's name doesn't. doesn't make for
a winning argument though.
