kakobrekla: >PawSense normally recognizes
a cat on the keyboard within one or two pawsteps
nubbins`: we successfully engaged it by pressing
a spread palm on the keyboard
peterl: would letting
a 2-yo type be
a good random generator?
gernika: peterl perhaps "permanently" was
a bad choice of words. "Seriously" would be better.
gernika: petrel yes - everyone could update their constant manually. But that's only
a temporary fix.
gernika: Unfortunately the POW cutoff level appears to be
a constant.
ThickAsThieves: lol the guys says WoT is
a scam, then explains how to use
a WoT
kakobrekla: <punkman> on
a lathe < i guess that might work for digital data
mircea_popescu: it's really badly titled which is what threw me off originally. it's really the counterpart to my economic theory piece, it should be "
a complete theory of sociology"
mircea_popescu: fluffypony i was thinking, "prolly fluff, he uses all the weird things" but then i was like, give the guy
a break, don't say anything
ThickAsThieves: the art looks like
a bunch of bitcoiners reaching to escape to bitcoin and failing
mats_cd03: they're swimming away from
a bank?
assbot: Sound Wallet Audio Cold Storage - Your private key as .wav, CD, or
a Record
mircea_popescu: someone with
a forum account please to tell klech guy he's cool and to drop by.
punkman: got my posters from nubbins, but arsepost says they'll need
a couple of days to locate them...
mircea_popescu: “This record was hand shaped and individually cut in real time using
a vintage 1940s Presto 75A recording lathe. It is
a unique piece. It is not the same as
a traditional pressed record. It was not made in
a factory. It was hand carved from an 8ft sheet of polycarbonate plastic, shaped, sanded, waxed and cut in real time by one person.”
mats_cd03: i can imagine post-xmas sales being
a thing
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves what do you mean weathered the selloff ? you mean they had
a stock selloff or what ?
mircea_popescu: ouch. well this chick's overbite... here's the problem : before now when her pretentiousness flopped, it would have been just
a young woman being naive. but now, with 4% of overstock REVENUE, if the thing flops she's just
a failure.
ThickAsThieves: tho i still think bitcoingirl should just take up
a career in playing
a dame in movies
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "I've at this point given up at editing any of the text at all. " << this is often
a clue the whole thing is not worth publishing, as painful as may be. ie, if one guy can't be bothered to spend an extra minute on the strength of the material, there's cause to believe
a thousand readers shouldn't be asked to spend that one second it takes them to decide they don't want it.
mircea_popescu: punkman: some quotes I saved: "actually tbh i would make people money except i cant be bothered, i dont really wanna make anyone rich to get more money myself, id rather just chill in my room and drink cider and think up new ideas" <<< i'm saving this one for the next time some derp comes up with "
a billionaire dude would never hang out in irc with us rubes"
mircea_popescu: there's not just one, female inherited factor. there's at least three, of which at least one skips
a generation.
punkman:
a morning teaser: You are sitting on an olive tree, smoking some tobacco, watching the river. The Beaumont sisters are having
a swim and it's an even bet that the first two to come out of the water will have big tits. How many of the sisters have small tits?
cazalla: have
a life that is, choking sound is awful when we give him
a new food
mircea_popescu: let the kid choke once in
a while, let the woman have her own life once in
a while.
mircea_popescu: in other news : aggregate advertising and dating data seems to show that
a 50% increase in mixed race fantasy couples being displayed over 5 eyars corresponds to
a 50% increase in the affinity for white women for white men, and reciprocal, and further
a decrease for both black men -> white women and black wome -> white men and reciprocal.
gribble: Error: "pouradrinkfor" is not
a valid command.
mircea_popescu: "Women voting.
A free and independent society. Choose one. The choice between the two is rarely so obvious as this, though." an' stuff.
TheNewDeal: I would consider an attraction to
a 13 year quasi pedophilia if she was not developed
mircea_popescu: i left
a comment on the blog he's arguing with. kinda curious if it gets published.
dub: mike_c: oh, it is? not everywhere (i get
a choice)
dub: I can incorporate
a company with any fiscal year I like
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal try and see, this is like
a totally real virtual reality.
mike_c: so last two days 37 btc ain't bad, i'm still insinuating
a causation ;)
mircea_popescu: it does have some heavy variation, but anyway, 50ish for 3 days seems more or less
a good estimate
TheNewDeal: mike_c in reference to different weighting mechanisms. How about
a price bet that is weighted by both bitstamp price and time
dub: its the 3rd quater of
a financial year
dub: its
a uniquely american retardation 'its summer here and I have no concept of anything outside my neighbourhood
dub: can you nix any bets that refer to
a season as being related to
a time of teh year
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal you can specify them by block height and have
a reasonable but outside resolve date
mircea_popescu: mike_c actually about 20ish btc
a day is the secular average for bitbet. 50 or so over 3 days is about avg neh ?
TheNewDeal: but it becomes very difficult to pick
a day in which to end the weighting at
TheNewDeal: if I wait 2010 blocks into
a 2016 block change, my certainty becomes much much greater
mike_c: it's
a tough way to make an easy living
TheNewDeal: for instance, I once bet on
a "price will drop below 400 before X"
TheNewDeal: would love to see them develop
a separate set of betting system for price bets and difficulty
mike_c: well i am rooting for bitbet. tired of building tools that are obsolete
a few months after i ship them.
TheNewDeal: lots of bets I had made that lied inactive for
a long time were bet on after that was released
BingoBoingo: TheNewDeal: I played
a variant of the Tuba so maybe I have too much lung
TheNewDeal: I hung around people that mixed the two, started doing it myself, continued smoking as
a habbit
BingoBoingo: devthedev: In that case Buenos Aires still seems
a hell of
a lot safer, but... Florida would offer me more places to stock up on Rum as opposed to taking the overland route.
BingoBoingo would just like to be employed in the US long enough to own
a taxi somewhere else.
TheNewDeal: is it possible to get
a passport though?
assbot: Hey White People:
A Kinda Awkward Note to America by #Ferguson Kids by FCKH8.com - YouTube
BingoBoingo: In Murica you don't even need
a beard to be
a Turrorist. Heard it on KMOX.
cazalla: gov only just raised the terror alert to high here last week, i'm guessing this is in response to that, they arrested 15, i bet they let all but
a few go once their show is said and done
BingoBoingo: Like the dream version of the mov kind of involves everything I carry into harware #b-
a being paper
mircea_popescu: you look burly enough, you can prolly get
a job as an arbolito.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: That would require Title paperwork and all that. best to just leave the keys in with
a sweater I bled all over half
a mile from the bridge.
BingoBoingo: With respect to the issue of local corruption though... I might be up to doing
a month in jail if it means I get 3-4 lawyers in the prosecutors office sanctioned. The Federal stuff though would make me walk.
danielpbarron: which reminds me of
a conversation I had
a while back, in which I speculated that someone who is sufficiently wealthy does not need
a passport
BingoBoingo: And no Argentine politicians have picked
a rap beef with me yet.
BingoBoingo: If I have to pay
a TSA fee to fucking look at
a USian aeroplane, I am fucking going to
a mexican aeroporte
BingoBoingo: Mostly because I am not paying
a motherfucking fee to the TSA
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: SPz somehow the FBI manages to store me for
a decade because I have no silk road info and at the same time keep my priv keys safe? The chance at being
a possum instead of
a rat?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Your sitution wouldn't be
a worst outcome.
BingoBoingo: Also.. need
a bit more time to practice the Spanish. And then there's the almost sick hope I might win the misdemeanor case nao.
BingoBoingo: Also
a kind of curiosity. If the US let me know it wants to keep me here, can I leave anyways.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: At this point... it seems to be
a kind of morbid fascination of whether I first find library employment or three hots and
a cot courtesy of the bezzel
nubbins`: i know
a mexican girl who narrowly decided not to have plastic surgery at 16
