ben_vulpes: <jurov> i have
a little hope for haskoin, it's nicely done << last i checked it was just an rpc wrapper, has it grown much?
ThickAsThieves: pretty great argument for them really, not that it's
a new one
ThickAsThieves: i suppose it's not
a job for auditors, it's
a job for hackers
jurov: ;;later tell asciilifeform after seeing the lisp machine vid, i remembered there is
a contemporary cpu with accessible microcode - transmeta crusoe. only problem i see they worked with torvalds not naggum... but maybe something can be salvaged?
ben_vulpes: <ThickAsThieves> i often think about that, how the hell can someone who cannot/willnot read code, ever be the steward of
a software project safely? << for legacy projects i generally angle for an audit phase.
ThickAsThieves: TomServo, my stance would be that any attempt to see how hard
a wallet is would be
a start
TomServo: Would an audit even be useful without
a specification?
jurov: i have
a little hope for haskoin, it's nicely done
nubbins`: surely not
a company with employees
ThickAsThieves: is there
a trustworthy wot-signed document of an auditor saying any version of bitcoin is safe?
bounce: so now you need
a radar detector detector detector in your radar detector
ThickAsThieves: all it takes is one rogue programmer to plant
a shellshock, no?
ThickAsThieves: i often think about that, how the hell can someone who cannot/willnot read code, ever be the steward of
a software project safely?
jurov: redhat would be in
a position to do it..but perhaps their current bezzle makes better $$$
bounce: it's
a bit like... well, calling everyone who does anything wrong
a "wrongdoer", regardless of the details of the crime. do that consistently and there's no discernible difference between
a mass murderer and
a petty thief, or even someone telling you you left the keys in the door and don't forget to close up, guv.
ThickAsThieves: if i were to attempt articulating it, I'd say it's
a focus on convenience over robustness, ignorance over understanding, etc
ThickAsThieves: i apologize for such
a broad stroke if they seemed otherwise
ThickAsThieves: just because i suggets nothing is "really secure" does not mean that I am saying security is
a waste of time
bounce: that's
a really strong argument. fits just about anywhere. "can't have 100% security anywhere, might as well give up".
bounce: tsunamis have happened for aeons. yet we like forewarning and protection. youse
a bunch of nimby sayers, mats says. no fighting the inevitable!
bounce: it'll be reviled all the same. you can read? therefore you are
a hacker. therefore you lose your fourth amendment rights.
bounce: looking at cameras makes you
a "hacker" now. what does that these peeps make? they SCRIPTED the looking at security cameras. surely that's EXCEPTIONAL SKILL and so they're not merely HACKERS, they're VERY DANGEROUS UBERHACKERS
kakobrekla: ip camera in bedroom, always
a good idea.
assbot: Man has 100 orgasms
a day after back injury
rithm: i could use just
a little bit more hopelessness?
mats_cd03: is it
a net loss -- scammers accumulating wealth, and the stupid losing theirs?
ThickAsThieves: it's not
a real man, it's face morph of all the men in their target audience
chetty: haha nah thats not
a broad brush ....
mats_cd03: but every contractor in the world is
a miserable, lying thief.
mats_cd03: i don't want to paint
a broad brush here,
ThickAsThieves: so i paid to have Lowes install
a garage door on
a rental property, 2mos later it finally happens (skipping some headache details) and they dont actually fully install it and they show me
a forged report with my signature
mats_cd03: at least, not without
a ... $4 rental service.
ThickAsThieves: "More belly fat, scientists say, means
a man has more estradiol,
a female sex hormone that helps to inhibit orgasm."
ThickAsThieves: such lol "So let’s say
a guy has sex 100 times annually. If he has
a belly, he’s going to spend approximately eight hours — an entire work day — more per year penetrating his lover than if he has
a six-pack. That’s
a substantial amount of time."
mats_cd03: there is something special about morning coffee time after
a long hiatus with tea as
a substitute
mats_cd03: i have finally discovered
a cheese that i find palatable: pepper jack.
ThickAsThieves: wouldnt the net be
a better place if all used same standard?
ThickAsThieves: ;;later tell TheNewDeal <TheNewDeal> any response on that foia yet? /// since youve been singling me out, I wanna clear up that, while I did email them an inquiry long ago, I did not personally submit
a FOIA request. I simply know of
a couple netizens that did. You can expect news to spread fast once(if) it happens.
☟︎ Vexual: you're more than welcome to reserve judgement for
a decade
Vexual: since your not australian or
a drunk
Vexual: tats
a chicken and egg right thar
xmj: fluffypony: i'm bored too often. do you know anyone looking for
a sysadmin? :)
davout: i do have
a movie of fanny being attacked by clownfish tho
mircea_popescu: now this is
a point. decoupled risk and reward => moral hazard
mircea_popescu: some guy asks socrates if he should marry. socrates says he should. if it works out he'll be happily married, if it doesn't he'll become
a better philosopher.
assbot: Harry Potter and the Wonderful Wood Chipper,
a harry potter fanfic | FanFiction
mircea_popescu: still takes space and loads the page with
a lot of html
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo the only third option i ever saw that made sense was on pg's site. J F M
A M J J
A S O N D line under line under line
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Yeah it's been
a year. I also tried the dropdown thing, but... I rather like the comprehensive page of its own thing.
mircea_popescu: if the archives bother you you can just make
a dropdown
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: le travail, c'est le travail << i like how philosophical marriage makes one. socrates had
a point.
decimation: it is difficult to imagine
a symbolics user in the late '80s with his persistent global namespace watch someone using DOS
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> TheNewDeal: Feel like I working in
a chinese sweatshop for the last half hour << i am glad to learn that i am not the only one who ended up constructing his own personal chinese sweatshop to toil in... << and how is this different from the making of
a computer useful for software development?
decimation: the other thing that interested me about the symbolics video was the fact that the machine had
a global namespace
decimation: it's amusing that the solder paste machine is pretty much just
a giant squeegee, but all dressed up
decimation: couldn't you construct
a really tiny paristaltic pump?
TheNewDeal: hahaha I hardly constructed one. Just borrowed
a tiny screwdriver from the tools that ship with the machine
TheNewDeal: use them for
a few things at work. One is to make sure that gears are meshed well enough
TheNewDeal: may have just fixed my dial indicator. Feel like I working in
a chinese sweatshop for the last half hour
decimation: looks to me that
a likely leakage path would be the upstroke phase - air could leak around the piston
decimation: so you are going to build
a 'better' glue squirter
decimation: no the auger valve you wrote about
a few months ago
decimation: heh, you gonna make
a pump for solder paste?
decimation: I remember when beos was
a thing, raging fast, low latency. too bad it petered out
BingoBoingo: Not ignoring so much as distracted, and the Google is
a thing
gribble: Error: "timesincebitcoinwas10usd" is not
a valid command.
BingoBoingo: I mean last fall was the anomalie in that it has
a rally whereas 2011 and 2012... stagnation...
mircea_popescu: peterl there's
a latency. heavy no bets came in this week, perhaps not balanced oyut yet
peterl: so to get yes on brk-
a bet, at this point btc would have to get over 666 usd, that doesn't seem that high yet bitbet is favoring no
mircea_popescu:
a bet that was at 3k 6months out could conceivably end up in the 5-6 figures.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Not an athlete,
a reporter. Suspended for... Gasp... Reporting!!!
