xanthyos: i found a warez copy of autocad for a teacher of a class i took in high school, and he said that i'd get an A no matter what
Adlai worked there for a while
Adlai: autodesk are actually moving towards open source for their newer products, although since it's a bottom-up effort, existing products will remain closed source indefinitely
thestringpuller: what's the point of a bitcoin company raising fiat capital if they can't use it to purchase btc
thickasthieves: if coinbiz.io raises $1b in venture capital and releases a press release informing the world, some bitcoiners might be interested in that as a news development, no?
mircea_popescu: indiancandy1 what's a 411 ?
ben_vulpes: <xanthyos> any open source CAD apps? << pretend to be a student, download Inventor

kakobrekla: when i was a kid i got to know the real inventor of the water scooter (his prototype was stolen and replicated). anyway, i did get to ride his underwater bike prototype.
xanthyos: need to contact grant imahara of mythbusters to build me a prototype
xanthyos: using the public log to declare now before anyone can steal my idea that i am modifying the amphibious bike design to have parallel water screws instead of a loud splashy paddle for its propeller

cazalla: mircea_popescu: i'd rather see aff links put deliberately than allowing random derps to send their "press releases". it'll turn it into a trade mag, which is bad. <<< it might result in good stories, failing that, scammers out themselves, win win
cazalla: thickasthieves: i might also suggest qntra have a news/press release/leaks solicitation area <<< a good idea for the future, i don't think we have enough authority that people will come to us yet but in time they will, hopefully
BingoBoingo: cazalla: Yeah, thought it was just a TaT issue
xanthyos: thickasthieves: googling for a confirmation of a deschanel arrest led me to this closed captioning error: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/the-sideshow/zooey-deschanel-boston-marathon-bombing-suspect-fail-202412271.html?soc_src=mediacontentstory
mircea_popescu: Cadet Clevinger was court-martialed for breaking ranks while in formation, felonious assault, indiscriminate behavior, mopery, high treason, provoking, being a smart-guy, listening to classical music, and so on.
kakobrekla: >Open a ticket to unblock port 25. I got a response within an hour saying that port 25 is unblocked and they've sent me a link for some anti-spam policy. No other questions asked. You have to pay $5 per each spam email you send, but if your server was hacked, you are not responsible.
RagnarDanneskjol: thats a first
mircea_popescu: i guess thickasthieves has a point, how's that different from someone being an author. it all boils down to sending stuff to cazalla see if he approves it.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i'd rather see aff links put deliberately than allowing random derps to send their "press releases". it'll turn it into a trade mag, which is bad. << I'm thinking more a known slush pile, but I guess the contact page already offers that function
mircea_popescu: i'd rather see aff links put deliberately than allowing random derps to send their "press releases". it'll turn it into a trade mag, which is bad.
thickasthieves: bingo i have a ss i'm making that might be useful
mircea_popescu: cleannest surgical strike in the history of surgical strike, guy took out a country the size of a continent in one evening.
mircea_popescu: that took a while.
thickasthieves: is get This Webpage is not available for a while, then it eventually loads
BingoBoingo: Well it is what powers WP stats we had before quantcast. Not a cacheing plugin.
RagnarDanneskjol: i had a nice topic header - gone now
thickasthieves: i might also suggest qntra have a news/press release/leaks solicitation area
thickasthieves: find a less abstracted form of payment
Apocalyptic: Nejc must be happy to run a gateway
thickasthieves: wait, Ripple has a vuln? lololol
RagnarDanneskjol: aside from cringeworthy derpish content, the c-setter *company* blog actually has spammy ad links hiding in 'You may also like:' posts - wow, that's a first
mircea_popescu: generally it's not understood that money is a burden, not a boon, and this current child porn cultural trend (i don't just mean squirreling away pictures of 12 yo girls split open, i mean the actual trend, a widespread and cvasi universal obsession with youths) is mixing the worst ingredients : child-hydrazine with money-methanol (it WILL make you blind, if you drink it!)
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=OPM | OPM. Other People's Money - what you need to get rich. From the adage, it takes money to make money, and to gain wealth you need a small fortune, which, ...
mircea_popescu: i know numerous such wrecks, trying to make ends meet at 40something, after having run exactly on those premises, "too much opm, too little time to think" a decade or two ago
mircea_popescu: very sad way to spend a youth.
RagnarDanneskjol: I know him, nice kid - still reefuses to see the light, been trying to get him on WoT for years... i recall mpoepr also had a nice exchange with him on the forum years back when he announced coinsetter
mircea_popescu: "Jaron Lukasiewicz is the CEO and Founder of Coinsetter, a New York City-based company that offers a high performance ECN trading platform and exchange for bitcoin."
BingoBoingo: In the long run it seems qntra is going to end up reporting on a lot of Trilema predictions being realized
mircea_popescu: "After 30+ hours of research and numerous meetings on the topic, we finally feel we have a strong understanding of Ripple and its place in the financial world versus Bitcoin."
mircea_popescu: o look at that shit! "A network-wide weakness in how both Ripple and Stellar communicated transactions was exploited by an unknown third-party to to deposit false IOUs through Ripple/Stellar"
mircea_popescu: so cash went "On a Sunday morning sidewalk, I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned. 'Cause there's something in a Sunday that makes the body feel alone. And there's nothing short a' dying that's half as lonesome as the sound of the sleeping city sidewalk and Sunday morning coming down."
mircea_popescu: im pretty sure it expired by now anyway, it was a 2004 run. so go right ahead.
mircea_popescu: ;;rate moarrr 1 Guy's black and he drew me on a blackboard. In white chalk. http://i.imgur.com/VIhCwMO.jpg
RagnarDanneskjol: i just got to the third chapter. rather interesting, nice atmosphere. can see a decent screenplay in there
assbot: The Cargo Cultist, a Dialogue | Bingo Blog
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: He's this guy http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/2014/09/18/the-cargo-cultist-a-dialogue/#comment-34397
mircea_popescu: a it is ? so who's he ? what's he do ?
mircea_popescu: cazalla: anyone ever heard of people buying fkn rattlesnakes from silk road type sites before? << yes, actually, i knew a derp raising pot and poisonous reptiles in romania. fortunately he had no idea what the web is, but otherwise, exactly what lanky ragaddy hair hippy you'd expect for the role.
mircea_popescu: better filters. a braindamaged 1950s version of agile, if you wish.
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03: my understanding of the digest system is shallow, and i've been hesitant to do any serious filtering in the event i miss something <<< in computers generally, understood as the php-machine (ie, text processing, the actual porn that drove early computing), this approach has proven flawed. it is more effectual and more efficient to make a set of filters that delivers *something* and then make more passes with
BingoBoingo: mats_cd03: If you have access to a law library the law librarians usually have JD's and may have some tricks from school. Otherwise it is a grind.
mircea_popescu: yeah, also not a bad solution.
mircea_popescu: so a site acct may be the least evil solution to a dilemma. not much of a consideration until it's actually big.
mircea_popescu: that could be a legitimate revenue source for qntra, if it grows up a little.
mircea_popescu: cazalla and fwiw, i see no problem promoting the ravi guy, if he makes a sale or two out of the feature even better, he's ok. but generally speaking.
mircea_popescu: it's just, there's the world wide web, whioch is a collection of text, and then there's the paypal-blergh, which is a collection of bs. linking to a blog/webpage is different from linking to an online shop
mircea_popescu: whether it is or it isn;t, people on the internet don't spend much time to reach a conclusion
cazalla: nofollow everything? leave all links the same, nofollow anyone not in #b-a? which would be best
mircea_popescu: that's a complicated discussion. maybe. on the other hand, plenty of people are put off by seeing amazon/ebay links, makes them mentally dioscount the whole page/site as "one of those"
cazalla: so you don't want me to link to amazon? i don't think it's worth the time to setup an affiliate code for qntra with amazon, might net $10 a year at best
mircea_popescu: well as a general policy, links to stuff like that (amazon, ebay, artist's own ecommerce site, etc) either hapen through an aff link and income is then reported or don't happen
mircea_popescu: cazalla The book is available to purchase as a paperback via Amazon India or via Amazon Kindle << are those qntra's amazon links ? ie, you make comission ?
mircea_popescu: xanthyos: http://legalinsurrection.com/2014/10/cnn-panelist-we-cant-cut-flights-to-liberia-over-ebola-because-of-slavery/ << political correctness will be the end of us all. an avoidable plague will soon be upon us because of bureaucracy and cowardice <<< you know, it IS possible that a cnn "panelist" isn't the end all, be all font of truth and wisdom.
decimation: I post this because I think it serves as a warning to usg bureaucrats - there may come a day when your 'successful career' might be seen in a very different light by your peasant neighbors.
decimation: http://youtu.be/u88vMSbX_xA << lois lerner (the usg bureaucrat who targeted mostly conservative groups for 'preferential' tax auditing - now retired and making $100k per year from usg pension) was 'targeted' while walking her dogs in Bethesda. She tries to run into a neighbor's house to 'call the police' and 'hide' - the old man of the house shows up and instructs her to leave immediately
pete_dushenski: actually, this raises a question i might've missed in the logs...
pete_dushenski: kakobrekla: so the 1.2k a month guy wont be coming back? << rip little dude.
pete_dushenski: nubbins`: ask an albertan what he thinks of a quebecer << albertans think that quacks have the super duperest most corrupt construction industry and the the highest taxes imaginable. both of these are true, but only relative to the rest of canada.
mthreat: are you in a city witha law school?
mthreat: right. So let's say you have a case that is relevant to whatever topic you're researching, for example, search and seizure of a vehicle or something. At the start of the case, it lists all the west key items, and 1 or more of those will be for the search and seizure aspect.
mthreat: so anyway, the west key system is a classification system. These days it's like 'tagging'. Each case is tagged with a set of "west keys", which are numbers that indicate what aspects of law the case relates to.
mats_cd03: i suspect i'm overlooking something simple, but i guess ill figure it out after i get through a few more judges
mats_cd03: i'm chaining various terms in a boolean search of law databases
gabriel_laddel: mats_cd03: I'm curious do you think a NN would help in your search? What are you searching for?
mats_cd03: BingoBoingo: got any tips for this legal research? i'm struggling to parse meaningful data from a small mountain of case law
penguirker: New blog post: http://qntra.net/2014/10/god-is-a-gamer-by-ravi-subramanian/
xanthyos: political correctness has gotten so out of hand that they'd rather risk having ebola spread worldwide than risk being called a racist by restricting a couple flights from west africa
BingoBoingo: Have the outer shell of the mechanical bull be the musculature of a bull and issue the same challenge
BingoBoingo: If the animal rights people get worried about the bull developing ptsd because it killed or mained a crowd on television, substitute a mechanical bull.
BingoBoingo: I am tired and on the verge of a food coma, but I wonder... When in the name of extremitude and derp will a cooking reality show feature competitors trying to carve a tenderloin filet steak off of a live bull.
dub: clearly a scam
mircea_popescu: "An extended delay in credit card transaction processing left a Patron of Cyn Nightclub in Fort Lauderdale Florida facing grand theft charges. Trusted third party Wells Fargo which issued the card approved an $80 charge for drinks earlier in the night, but failed to approve $600 in charges later in the night. A second card from trusted third party also failed to approve the later charges. $1000 in bail was successfully
BingoBoingo: thickasthieves: Think about it phonetically. There's a lot of directions to go. Contra, cunt raw, question tradition, queer nations toppling radioactive ants
wyrdmantis: just fought with italian "regulation!!" derps. sooo lulz. hi all. Hope it's a good night/day for everyone
mircea_popescu: cazalla if you don't have a static ip it will, yes. how badly unstatic is it ? if it's a.b.*.* locking it down to just those is reasonably useful anyway
cazalla: BingoBoingo: So this is happening already... http://dpaste.com/32HWXTT <<< add http://pastebin.com/aCqtcurN in the htaccess at the top level <<< i don't have a static ip, won't that become problematic for me?
mircea_popescu: meanwhile chinese made (and generally, better) tiger balm is five dollars a tub
mircea_popescu: way to sell placebo to a selected market lmao
xanthyos: sorry, i'm used to dealing with absolute degenerate immoral filth in my internet peers who have a higher tolerance for ugly things than pretty things
kakobrekla: nubbs how much for a buttcoin poster
thickasthieves: so a zombie obv

nubbins`: anyway yes, this is a "so THERE!" type thing to put at the end of a declarative statement
