ninjashogun: For exmaple, i would rate you a 1 (easily) based on our previous conversation, but it wouldn't accept it.
ninjashogun: Also, I think that the trolls "won" because I'm not able to rate positively the people I have had good connectoins with (gribble says I 'don't qualify') so obviously they won't reciprocate. My ratings look like a troll's.
PeterL: you just have to have a positive L2 from assbot
PeterL: havn't you been around here a while? why no self-voicing?
xanthyos: nyc is a nice place if you don't have to drive in it
kakobrekla: BingoBoingo >Surveillance Mogul: Make Bitcoin Like Paypal < last link/sentence is a bit off
pete_dushenski: being a numerate, literate adult is a worthwhile goal, neh?
bounce: plenty tribes have that sort of ritual. them jooz still see themselves as a tribe, so it fits.
bounce: so you're advocating the jooz should run teh coontry now? like the big joo conspiracy isn't a bad thing or something.
pete_dushenski: treat the wee jooz like adults from that point on and maybe they can run a bank, movie studio, etc. without fucking it up.
mircea_popescu: <pete_dushenski> as a result, the asian kids and i aren't suffering from the braindamage of a few dozen concussions mixed with cum crackers. << they still do the cum crackers ?!
mod6: There was a black kid I played with. Broke his arm.
pete_dushenski: as a result, the asian kids and i aren't suffering from the braindamage of a few dozen concussions mixed with cum crackers.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski this would explain why i was one of the very few non-asian kids playing badminton at a high junior level. << well, either that or the other kids thinking badminton's for fags and nobody having translated the memo in azn ?
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: Adlai: now go and see reaction time vs. intelligence (take your pick of any known simple test for either of the two). disturbingly close. 0.8, if i recall. << til again! this would explain why i was one of the very few non-asian kids playing badminton at a high junior level.
danielpbarron: BingoBoingo, one of them wants to write me off for suggesting that altcoins are not a thing, and another outright bashed bitcoin in favor of whatever scamcoin of the month he fancies
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: in exactly the same place as the goats growing recombinant butyrylcholinesterase (antidote+prophylactic against organophosphate poisoning, $30k+ a dose at current production methods) << steepish. but is one dose enough?
danielpbarron: i wonder if i can get any of the freetalklive derps to join -assets / been tweeting at them for a while now
bounce: how about a hp50g then?
BingoBoingo: <ThickAsThieves> yeah sound slike you need a macbook << Macintosh portable seems like better value proposition
ThickAsThieves: yeah sound slike you need a macbook
X-Rob: and I'm in the middle of a bastard CVE at the moment
Apocalyptic: this feels like a decade
pete_dushenski: two in two weeks might be a bit much!
mircea_popescu: let me dig for a second
mircea_popescu: certainly stalin had a better time of it in the 1914s than in the 1954s
ThickAsThieves: it's like watching a politician lie
mircea_popescu: well if anyone does a transcription i'll skim it
assbot: Peter Thiel: Bitcoin needs a payment system to work - YouTube
kakobrekla: yeah cause you had a small update.
mircea_popescu: which is what i said. they wouldn't even dare ask, because they don't know if it's a set-up.
asciilifeform: when they do 'this', it won't look like a 'this.' it'll look like a parallel-whatever - dumb prisoner gave his key to 'Bubba' in exchange for butseks, etc.
mircea_popescu: the only reason it's never happened to date is simply that a da wouldn't have made it that far if he were insane enough to try something like you propose.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: still think 'rule of law' thing is still a thing in usa? seriously?
mircea_popescu: chetty it's not a task any of the pencildicks would take regardless.
mircea_popescu: and if he DOES get held in criminal contempt he gets disbarred, and might as well learn a new trade.
mircea_popescu: doesn't even get a trial, the judge can just sentence him for contempt, six months, no problemo
mircea_popescu: and if in fact it does result in a mistrial for counsel tampering & conspiracy, the da in question can very well go to jail on the spot
mircea_popescu: there's exactl;y nothing the prosecution can do to nosy into the defense briefs, abnd they wouldn't even dare ask because they've got no way to know if they're being set up for a mistrial or what.
asciilifeform: IANAL - but afaik, usg claims a total right to control the communications of prisoners. and lawyers who are suspected of stretching the official rules (e.g., getting a message out to your mother, whatever) can be effectively fired by usg.
asciilifeform: seriously suggesting that a prisoner in usa can keep a key secure (other than one which fits in his head) ?
asciilifeform: afaik the whole client-attourney privilege thing is a dead letter in usaschwitz. (the buggers can do as they please and parallelconstruct.)
mircea_popescu: once you give them a means to speak up they will.
mircea_popescu: because on his own, aperson is just a person.
bounce: why aren't lawyers speaking up when there's yet another law mandating massive snooping on everyone with a few of those constructive bones thrown in? lack of understanding that actual is possible?
mircea_popescu: a lawyer readily understands the value of ACTUAL attorney-client privilege
asciilifeform: (and yes, i intend to write a post re: 'technolordosis.' for the lack of a better term, my current mental name for the deer/hunter symbiosis of voluntary chumpitude previously discussed on many occasions)
mircea_popescu: vote with your money stan. it's a very powerful concept.
mircea_popescu: o shit, you need a computer at home to email ? o yea, totally, email doesn't scale
asciilifeform: gpg.. yachtful << nope. they'd rather buy pwndildoes from 'crypto ag.' it's a 'technolordosis' signal to their master.
bounce: needs a bit of buy-in since the other side needs something comparable.
chetty: sounds like a business plan, laptops with gpg installed plus instructions, name it lots of fancy words ...
bounce: that's the price of a new laptop these days. cheapo, but anyhow.
mircea_popescu: best gift you'll ever make, incidentally. for the 500 bux or w/e an old laptop costs you're probably going to get a yachtful of champagne
mircea_popescu: that's not how you do it. you gift the guy a laptop and explain how to use it.
bounce: but then, selling a totally complex fancy buzzword-laden magic (voice or otherwise) box counts as "innovation", whereas installing a mail client with decent gpg support does not.
mircea_popescu: bounce it's been going on for a while, this scam. most brokers with high value accounts have been pretty spooked back in the 90s already
bounce: anyhow barclays already rolled this out for their "wealthiest clients", so this sounds like an invitation to make good use of a tape recorder.
mircea_popescu: much like the "signature", ie, scribbling down on paper. fuck me, i have bills in this room issued by 6 different governments, they all have a signature on them
mircea_popescu: bounce incidentally, since you bring it up : most idiots of the "irc is not irl" and "i trust real people" variety fail to understand that with modern computers i can make any one person to say any one thing. just give me a collection of their voice recorded.
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: nah, was named after a guitarist.
Azelphur: eg if you try and do realtime in django you're going to have a bad time.
bounce: leveraging a write once language to help produce tight code in a notoriously sloppy language. can't you just taste the synergy?
wyrdmantis: mircea_popescu not so badly, but in a very arrogant way, and then no more technical answers
Apocalyptic: I just saw a few vulns for that one, it seems to be recurrent
Azelphur: wyrdmantis: welcome, I know it's a bit of a non-answer
Apocalyptic: well one could argue LTC is a shitcoin too, and it wouldn't be far from the truth
mircea_popescu: wyrdmantis it is a very shitty spot to be in, running one of those, because the shitcoins are often badly written, such as was the case with xrp.
mircea_popescu: node.js is a great toolset to build your gf a dildo with.
wyrdmantis: a friend asked the guy about db and got insulted and then silence. WTF people are so dumb. And yeah, node.js doesn't seem low level at all.
wyrdmantis: A question for developers: if i wanted (only theoretically) to build a scamcoins exchange like bittrex, what language/framework is best to use? A guy has opened one in node.js. I think he's gonna get hacked very soon.
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell cazalla: so regards to finding additional author, on the about page i added must be in wot + 6 months #b-a logs << yeshiva as prereq. smart. http://www.contravex.com/2014/03/17/irc-yeshiva/
Apocalyptic: this is bleeding everyday for a while it seems
mircea_popescu: "<kakobrekla> i got distracted by a pussy and a pair of tits." ?
kakobrekla: shit i got distracted by a pussy and a pair of tits.
mircea_popescu: it's also a glimpse into bitcoin's future, if usgavin and the power retard crowd have their way
bounce: therefore, it must be a feature
BingoBoingo: Reading up on this the fixed a similar problem with trackbacks back in 2.8, I don't know why it would be their position to make a sharp edge like this the default when the push themselve to people looking for feather cushions.
mircea_popescu: i have a good mind to ddos wordpress with it tbh.
mircea_popescu: mullenweg is a total fucktard.
mircea_popescu: “This tradeoff in pingback’s design has been there for a decade now,” he said via email. “It’s seldom used outside of experimentation because it gets shut down by anti-spam providers like Akismet or web hosts when used at any scale, and there are cheaper, easier, and more effective ways to DDOS sites. That’s why no serious attacks (above 2gbps) use it.”
Adlai is stuck without X after a borked reboot, but qntra looks alright in framebuffer w3m
kakobrekla: BingoBoingo maybe add a word about that?
mats_cd03: they live in a different world than we do.
thestringpuller: so price disparity should be moot with a deep enough supply...
mats_cd03: what would you propose they do? continue operating at a fiat loss indefinitely?
thestringpuller: i thought for a second it said "Do i get a plague with that"
mike_c: do i get a plaque with that?
Adlai is a special snowflake
Adlai manages to load qntra.net after a while of waiting
wyrdmantis: fresh as you like :D Thanks a lot Adlai!
fluffypony: which country? South Africa doesn't seem to give a crap.
wyrdmantis: yeah Adlai, i'm referring to the lawyer's trying to put out a legal framework, and such nonsense, for the sake of knowing :)
wyrdmantis: with a gun?
xanthyos: it's amazing how often i get threatened by someone caught speechless in the onslaught of my verbal abuse with a gun.
Adlai: (when phrased this way it does make me consider that conspiracy a lot less likely)
Adlai: any o yall believe trustless currency via proof of work was invented as a tool for tracking rather than liberation?
assbot: The Six Pillars For Surviving in Computer Times | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski sent you a pingback. fix the hole will you.
pete_dushenski: the upside is now i have an avatar for commenting on other blogs and that contravex has a snazzy new recent comments sidebar.
