mircea_popescu: capital doesn't belong with the idiots currently holding it. they don't know what to do with it, other than pay people to falsely claim they do know what to do with i.t
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the soviet tale didn't end there. i come back, trench is filled, sewer - same state. call bureaucrats, they promise to test. wake up, there's a note, claiming that 'tested, works, if still having problem, your problem.' i pick up phone, turns out the fellow testing had no idea there was pipe work at all. it was done by contractors, see, and the city 'had no idea.'
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't run a server on ubuntu, but if making a system for an ex windows person prolly still best choiuce,
artifexd: I plan on moving all my server ops to coreos so the centos thing won't be an issue.
artifexd: mircea_popescu: I decided on arch linux although I'm still evaluating desktop environments/window managers.
mircea_popescu: artifexd: I was thinking about Ubuntu but apparently they suck for reasons that are unclear to me. <<< dependency hell and a bad case of code rot.
mircea_popescu: benkay: I was thinking of starting a general shorting fund - sell shares that mimic shares in every way (pay same divs, buyback at vwap after X months). sell the shares at a discount to make them more appealing than real shares << mpex did this early on, but it was a political move to crush the idiots that thought they can make a glbse club. i doubt it'll be financially productive, you'll either fake volume a la btct
asciilifeform: if only we had an alligator here. i could extract it, own the gear.
mircea_popescu: i couldn't guess why. i was fucking impressed, i mean of all the problems one could be ready to solve...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, so one morning i go to bathroom, i flush when done, it won't drain. i call administratora, she calls her.... well not exactly husband.

mircea_popescu: pfoah so random comment on trilema brought to fore an article that's like... exceptional. http://trilema.com/2012/de-ce-s-nesuferiti-tehnicienii/ i gotta have this translated. any romanian speakers (preferably not native) looking for a job ?
mircea_popescu: |OgNasty: Any newly generated coins donated to nastyfans we can consider as NASTY MINING. I could identify these and maybe we vote to set policy that NASTY MINING always gets at least 25% of mined coins?"
mircea_popescu: this part is not negotiable, i don't give a shit how special anyone thinks anyone is. each and every last one sec comissioner, president or prime minister, everyone must, no matter what, getr in wot and so on.
mircea_popescu: pankkake:I was wondering about blogs of non-asseters actually << if you do that ima stop reading it altogether.

mircea_popescu: i suppose 80% of online misunderstanding flows from this particular/general mismatch, tbh. not from the supposed coldness of the medium.
mircea_popescu: i c. thought you meant in the general.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I'm saying it isn't
mircea_popescu: o yeah one did get her, i reclal this
chetty: I have pics, somewhere - Turkey/me/leather jacket/pideon poop
mircea_popescu: actually i think it's mostly seagulls in turkey
BingoBoingo: I qualify it that way, because I prefer not to document the exact objectionable habits of sky rats.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: For all I know the urban pigeons are eating used heroin needles, junkies hepatitis diarrhea, and random industrial and medical waste
BingoBoingo: Squab can be delicious, but I dunno if I could make the jump to eating dirty urban pigeons
chetty: BingoBoingo, nothing wrong with cards, I used em for a very long time, still do for some stuff
pankkake: github does :/ not that I really use it but it's ugly without
mircea_popescu: pankkake, some websites i never use.
BingoBoingo: chetty: What's wrong with notecards. When I finally severed my last ties to Windows (Endnote X5), I simply migrated the citations database to cards.
mircea_popescu: moiety: I have been on 0 business trips. I used to work in a hospital lol << start saving for argentina next year ? :D

chetty: mircea_popescu, I am sure we will soon be at the meal in a pill stage, chewing is probably bad for you
mircea_popescu: ;;rate fluffypony 1 I don't know him but his wife sends me selfies.
mircea_popescu: i was sure i rated you what is this
pankkake: I'm adding one to most of my sent ratings right now
pankkake: yes, I talk to myself
pankkake: I don't really have a reason to get good ratings
pankkake: I meant the ratings I created, not the ones I received
mircea_popescu: pankkake, i've noticed there's a hard wall where people who are trustworthy and well known but who don't do anything major are about 1.x on average, even if over 100 raqtings
pankkake: looking at my ratings, I should probably have more >1
mircea_popescu: well, i would argue it is not spamming it in that it actually reflects both trust and political intent. which is what the wot does.
mircea_popescu: oh i see.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: doesn't have a purpose or an intent or a role. it simply is << ever play the '80s game 'M.U.L.E.' ? << no i haven't. for my shame and to my detriment, it turns out!
mircea_popescu: moiety, did you ever see this one http://i.imgur.com/LmbZqvV.jpg

pankkake: I like it when it's slightly cold and rainy

mircea_popescu: apparently i found the only decent connection in all of ba
fluffypony: yo dawg, I herd you like bread: http://i.imgur.com/3ik6D37.jpg
jurov: i can vouch they sent me completely imaginary euros to my account
jurov: i'd say 100kB/day
kakobrekla: i open bitcoin-central and see some porn site, i login with my bc login and it works
pankkake: I agree with jurov. redirect + nothing else changes
jurov: i don't see any reason to close it as No
punkman: I don't see why a simple name change is a problem
fluffypony: I was under that impression too
jurov: i bet that it will be decided in other way as the iOS one :D

toffoo: niceee ... hot shaved lesbos posing with their mining gear on reddit today: http://i.imgur.com/kKzomyS.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ZGfwDSo.jpg http://i.imgur.com/FCmTso1.jpg
tokyopotato: We have such an awesome in-depth piece on the Dark Wallet coming out. I can't wait to share it with you guys, we should have it finished over the next couple days @ CoinJoint
benkay: i do a lot of illegal things.
mircea_popescu: i mean predictions
dub: I could IPO this fukcing pie
mod6: oh wow, i had no idea!? i gather this will spread in coming years.
mod6: Pretty unreal about those people in the sewers of Bucharest. I have a feeling this will be come common in the US in the next 20 years.
BingoBoingo: Even in this case I'm not sure cooperation lead to the better outcome. No future employer will be able to trust Sabu near anything that might approach any sort of legal or ethical line. That precludes him from even being a McDonalds fry cook.
jurov: i fail to see the appeal of resisting to
BingoBoingo: jurov: In his case it seems unlikely, but I fail to see the appeal of working with the people working to put you in prison.
BingoBoingo: "Sadly the lambo is in the country where theymos lives and in a country where I am not. " - Smoothie's Man Crush
pankkake: I forced the update by removing the feed cache. it works, it will just hammer your blog more
pankkake: looking at the feed I might have an idea why. if the last-modified header changes, but no article is published, but then the article is published and the last-modified isn't touched, it doesn't try to load it again
pankkake: but when I saw it, it was lagging for more than that. maybe there's a bug in the planet, but that's going to be annoying to find (the update logs never hint of any error)
mircea_popescu: this is so i can fix them before they get broadcast
pankkake: I think the issue happens earlier, on http://blogs.bitcoin-assets.com/ - I have seen it lag one article often
mircea_popescu: pankkake, i tell oyu it has an issue
BingoBoingo: Ah, I'll never get caught up with all of the worthwhile reading
BingoBoingo: I can't say that I have yet.
Namworld: So I can't help but think mods/owners thought it was reasonable to change username for some users that got a lot of complaints in the past.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I just like that phonetically it as a match for "a truck" no other meaning beyond that.
Namworld: I know, just specifying. I'm not aware of any feature to change username on forum.
mircea_popescu: Namworld, a, i wasn't implying anything unseemly.
BingoBoingo: By the time it might have made sense to change my forum nickname to match the new one I created for IRC, I lost too much care for the forum to change that nick.
Namworld: I actually got nanotube to change my OTC nick to Namworld, now both usernames match.
Namworld: I never changed my username, nvm failures.
BingoBoingo: Namworld: I imagine a large part of it is trying to break associations with their past names. Also suckage.
mircea_popescu: Goat owe me 3740.35 BTC. This is a serious scam and he is playing rich with MY money. 2012 I invested a lot in his Tygrr-bot. I thought it sounded like a cool arbitrage bot. It was hard to go profit and a lesser amount was lost to exchange failure. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Sure, but I can't imagine they'd be pleased if someone tried to deprive them of you
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I was almost concerned someone might have tried the extrordinary rendition thing on your submarine. I almost would have pitied the navy seals that tried to oppose your girls.
benkay: mircea_popescu: xmj's an interesting fellow i know from elsewhere. 'mutual interests'.
