mircea_popescu: the thing with that is... people have waited for
a while. as
a result the sides are weight-unbalanced. the seed 1k on yes has
a 100k weight whereas current bets only get 40k
thickasthieves: i have
a feeling this berksire bet will be legendary past our years
decimation: well, I would suggest that the left has so utterly dominated for so long that they have become
a cartoon of themselves
decimation: "“But I have laid out my ideas to create more jobs and grow more wages,” Obama told students at Northwestern University following
a high-dollar fundraiser for Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn. ”
A true opposition party should have the courage to lay out theirs. There’s
a reason fewer Republicans are preaching doom on deficits – because they’re now manageable.”"
mircea_popescu: ahhh, nothing quite like
a little bit of historical, failed shilling.
decimation: I use
a unicomp on
a mac, it lacks the 'f-key' panel on the left
gribble: Error: "market-last" is not
a valid command.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> they can only cut future revenue/unearned incomes << Right, the move to cut referalls from all of
a bet's rake to part of it was solid
mircea_popescu: and if i use it to cut
a hole in my wall ima need
a new wall.
assbot: What
a glorious time to be alive - Imgur
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: You got scammed, the shop just left the oldcortex in. There never was
a new one.
mircea_popescu: they gotta go to
a special school to be this untimely stupid, it just can't occur naturally.
mircea_popescu: so basically this fuckwit put in
a buncha unconfirmable satoshi spoam just to get his dumbass website included (text only, no link) on blockchain website
RagnarDanneskjol: I wouldnt do any deeds at this point. I believe he is resetting
a lot of things
kakobrekla: 2 suggestions: make deeds searchable and add
a simple syntax, at least so that we specify 'title' and 'content' in the signed content
mircea_popescu: this channel about another matter, you might not receive
a response."
assbot: The USAF's Much Maligned
A-10 Warthogs Are Deploying To Fight ISIS
The20YearIRCloud: I can't remember, it was
a guitar hero clone that was exclusively for facebook, and was controlled by your keyboard
The20YearIRCloud: The company had
a patent on some pretty amazing software dealing with getting html5 to convert old PC games to online play. Some were even phone compatible I guess. but instead they wanted to spend
a bunch of VC on some pie in the sky, get rich quick game that flopped massively
The20YearIRCloud: All while ben, their senior data anylist told them it was
a failure waiting to happen, and to spend more effort on advertising their games that were already cash positive
The20YearIRCloud: of course, but from what i've seen video game developers are even worse. So many pseudo-artists deciding that it's all better than
a lotto ticket. They spent several million on
a game that made something like
a hundred dollars
The20YearIRCloud: Prior to HASH and his contract work, Ben did data anaylis for
a Icann company, and learned quite
a bit about the seedy underbelly of video games
The20YearIRCloud: The real disconnect is : Do you have
a quality team of programmers that know what they're doing or not
thickasthieves: pricewise it was at
a major just after diff went flat, once diff starting going up again, the price went from $13 to $260
mircea_popescu: also lulzy, and little know fact : bitcoin took
a year to get out of 1 diff ?
chetty: maybe its what he intended tho, might not be
a backfire at all
thickasthieves: why make
a book when you could just continue curating trilema
mircea_popescu: which incidentally makes me realise, this is an excellent reason against
a trilema book.
mircea_popescu: more like
a ploy to get people to better learn helplessness.
thickasthieves: probly just
a ploy to get everyone to buy new usb sticks
davidlatapie: OK so if fluffypony plans
a group presentation, I should not encroach on his turf, mircea_popescu
kakobrekla: hm, i have
a 'fake' keyboard intentionally.
Dimsler: can you wear it like
a hat?
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I'll totally do
a group presentation...one day...when I have time...promise...
mircea_popescu: davidlatapie i have nfi idea what monero is because in spite of being invited fluffypony doesn't want to give the group
a presentation. the comment is just as to the improbable nature of the name. why mew and what's someone not in on the jokes to make of it.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: dub how are you going to patch the fact that the microcontroler is
a... microcontroler ?
dub: maybe s.nsa could release
a patch
mircea_popescu: firmware tricks demonstrated by Caudill and Wilson would hide files in that invisible portion of the code, or silently disable
a USB’s security feature that password-protects
a certain portion of its memory."
mircea_popescu: "In one case, they showed that the infected USB can impersonate
a keyboard to type any keystrokes the attacker chooses on the victim’s machine. Because it affects the firmware of the USB’s microcontroller, that attack program would be stored in the rewritable code that controls the USB’s basic functions, not in its flash memory—even deleting the entire contents of its storage wouldn’t catch the malware.

strp: mircea_popescu, well, I was connected with
a guy who I think made heavy coin on ethereum. I didn't verify.
strp: thickasthieves, anyway you said I was wrong that you owuldn't like to introduce yourself in
a public, logged channel. So, go ahead.
strp: dub, if you weren't trolling --- you would have
a lot more luck getting Sam Altman (the current YC president) in here. He has taken
a HUGE liking to crypto currencies.
strp: dub, well I did just write him an emial let me check... literally
a 1 hour and 16 minutes ago.
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03: IS ANYTHING ON THE INTERNET REAL << wasn't there
a snopes debunk about this urban legend where someone supposedly asked once if things on the internet are real ?
strp: I don't know anything about you, and I'd assume you wouldn't want to discuss it in
a logged forum. It is difficult to have an uknnown as
a business partner without sharing anything, don't you think?
strp: Well, I'd assume skype, and we can see if there's
a match?
strp: thickasthieves, I told you what I'm looking for. You got
a recommendation as
a level-headed, responsible person, and if you would like to partner with an ambitious, mercurial, head-strong, impulsive, capricious one who has wildly expansive plans, then tell me. If not, it's okay.
strp: mircea_popescu, I'm
a man.
strp: well, this is
a logged channel :)
strp: Just as above.
A level-headed responsible business partner to my ambitious, head-strong business ideas that are crazy ambitious, impulsive, capricious, and mercurial.
rithm: if it flies, you made
a good decision
rithm: i say burn the witch, if she drowns she wasn't
a witch
fluffypony: the funny thing is that there's
a person in this room called BGP
mircea_popescu: in spite of cf's own controlling servers telling
a diff story ?
dub: wording sounds like someone attacked
a 3rd party by sending them all cloudflares traffic
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: Lynn is already
a female name << cock is already
a female thing and yet cocotte is perfectly fine.
mircea_popescu: dub no, they got blown of the net and are claiming it's not because they suck. like you know, tesla explaining that the battery fire was due to
a customer setting their car atop
a camping gas stove
dub: are they claiming it was
a dos?
fluffypony: thickasthieves is too serious to be
a troll
fluffypony: "This downtime was the result of
a BGP route leak by Internexa, an ISP in Latin America. Internexa accidentally directed large amounts of traffic destined for CloudFlare data centers around the world to
a single data center in Medellín, Colombia. This was the result of Internexa announcing via BGP that their network, instead of ours, handled traffic for CloudFlare. This miscommunication caused
a flood of traffic to quickly overwhelm
assbot:
A complete theory of sociology
assbot: Snap! ~ Rhythm Is
