No secrets or techniques this time, I just want to take a post and discuss my own personal strategies for consistently dominating almost every niche I enter. Instead of creating an objective and methodologies I’m just going to casually write and talk some details, because of course my strategies require quite a bit of work and aren’t for everyone."

mircea_popescu: diametric the original, gentlemanly internet is a fucking curse to the current internet.
diametric: mircea_popescu: its comically bad. basically they reused the popen feature when using -o with a pipe, when omitting the -o option and instead deriving it from the url..

nubbins`: need your dirty deeds verified? roll into #b-a
nubbins`: not set up for multi-deed bundles yet, but should be a trivial change
assbot: Logged on 29-10-2014 01:16:56; nubbins`: also if anyone is curious, the following links may be of some use as a quick and dirty deed verification system:
nubbins`: wanna test a deed ;/
mod6: was just checking these things too see what was done recently. for instance, with s.bbet the IPO was clear signed by one party, and then that clearsigned doc was then clearsigned again by a second party.
thickasthieves: wtf is this bullshit with, we sending you a letter, but now that youve read it you dont have freedom of speech?

undata: that was apparently too long a line, meant to be one.
undata: http://blogs.wsj.com/moneybeat/2014/10/28/bitbeat-bitcoin-2-0-companies-respond-to-sec-rumor-were-clean/ "He added that anyone who purchased newly issued XCP with bitcoin did so through a “proof of burn” method that renders the incoming bitcoin unusable, ensuring that no material benefit passes to Counterparty or its owners." << Regarding the recent conversation with TheNewDeal on BTC burn ->
mod6: so in this case, ben.sig & mod6.sig, each yields a PGP armored message, that's just a signed file that can be verified.

asciilifeform Just Wanted A Fucking Book
asciilifeform: i might like to, say, do a little bit of actual work tomorrow.

asciilifeform wonders who, if anyone, would shed a tear for macos

ben_vulpes: hey it's a little warty but here's what's cookin: http://therealbitcoin.org/
mircea_popescu: decimation that's a fix. it fails to make kings impossible, so it degenerates, to a shittier kingdom
mircea_popescu: so, if a river bothers you, building a dam is a fix. making water a physical impossibility is a (very) radical approach.
mircea_popescu: what i mean here : anything which is ulterior ontologically to the problem is a fix. anything that is anterior ontologically to the problem and is incompatible with the problem's existence is a radical aproach.
bounce: that makes patent warchests more than a little ironic
mircea_popescu: because that knowledge meant a livelihood, whereas education meant competition.

mircea_popescu: i don't see a problem with their going away.
asciilifeform: esp. in the middle of a connection.
bounce: "insecurity is a feature we should not remove"
ben_vulpes: here's a wack notion
mircea_popescu: he probably doesn't think windows is a feature that should be removed either.
ben_vulpes: "Although I agree that it's totally insecure, no matter how you sugar coat it--I really don't think it's a feature that should be removed."
mats_cd03: top comment conflates gpg with pgp, ten odd comments in a useless discussion about key exchange and comms over the same channel, five comments by a bunch of fucking dummies talking about key signing parties, and a few pumping keybase
mircea_popescu: i have nfi how anyone even uses any of the sites in the gawker empire of crap. and incidentally tech crunch or mashable are exacly the same shit : exactly 0 comments, no content, just a bunch of pointless, flashy page elements.
asciilifeform: in usa (?) they recently put out a film purporting to be a riff on his epic 'futurological congress'
decimation: http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/09/30/i-can-tolerate-anything-except-the-outgroup/ << "Recently, there was a thread on Reddit asking – Redditors Against Gay Marriage, What Is Your Best Supporting Argument? A Reddit user who didn’t understand how anybody could be against gay marriage honestly wanted to know how other people who were against it justified their position. ... It soon became clear that nobody there was actually against
mircea_popescu: kinda the job of internet nobodies, innit ? "i saw x thing on google trends now i'm going to write about it in a vain but strongly held hope that mayhap the association may benefit me"
undata: on a restaurant nearby someone spraypainted "gay is race"

BingoBoingo: http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/bitwise/2014/10/how_to_end_gamergate_a_divide_and_conquer_plan.html
mircea_popescu: it'd go a lot further if it read "three out of four black adults ate on average a pound of shit in 2013"
mircea_popescu: incidentally, i have nfi why the libtards keep going with the "x many people nobody gives a shit about have no access to clean water"
mircea_popescu: does stan sound like a rambunctious bad boy or what
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well Whatsapp is a premium value loser for USG because of the large non-USian user population. Maybe ISIS has an account there.
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> decimation: Merit Washing? << actually 200mn is a gross understatement.
cazalla: http://qntra.net/2014/10/mit-bitcoin-project-goes-live/ less than a week to claim the coins, i wonder if what remains will be pocketed by someone

decimation: " A Wouff Hong is a fictional tool used to "punish" Amateur Radio operators, who demonstrate poor operating practices."
decimation: it looks like a wouff-hong http://www.arrl.org/ham-radio-history
asciilifeform: a microscope.
decimation: so really it's not even ascii, it's tard-ascii which is a much less useful subset of ascii
jurov: it knows how to decode base64 that's not a problem
nubbins`: ^ node.js and a couple libs required
