kakobrekla: since we are still on a brain frying subject, is there any explanation to why 100-200hz is the shit
assbot: Logged on 29-08-2014 04:46:41; asciilifeform: mike church was ripped a new arse here, but he had a good piece on how such 'laundries' work
asciilifeform never heard of a 'clinkle' before - and guesses that it might be a service which lets you nominate people for the clink.

ThickAsThieves: We won't allow placing sell-stop orders at a price above that of the user's buy-limit orders.
ThickAsThieves: We won't allow placing buy-limit orders at a price below that of the user's sell-stop orders.
ThickAsThieves: seems like it might just be a random market excercise and not tied to real market at all
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform twittering was a word ? who knew.

mircea_popescu: apparently there was a case of a symptomatic rabies patient that survived.
assbot: BLIT - a short story by David Langford
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: actually, there's a way.
mircea_popescu: hm. i guess if you stress a weak system it may come huh.
asciilifeform: (there's a commercial product in usa with earclips, forget which.)
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: for the latter, i never found a satisfactory setting where i could pronounce the old papers - replicated. but the usual idea is to set 100-200 Hz, square wave (some insist sinusoid instead), constant current (not constant voltage) output, and ramp up from zero.
asciilifeform used a constant-current amplifier
mircea_popescu: get a steppable transformer. wrap packing tin foil around dildo, insert. set transformer to low voltage, short over dildo-clit.
mircea_popescu: o btw, did i ever tell you how i illustrated the concept of current as a thing to bright young minds ?
mircea_popescu: i think it's a star trek trope this, the magic watch
mircea_popescu: o, they launched a new isomething ?
BingoBoingo: Apple naming is retarding, what the fuck is up with a watch, watch edition
mircea_popescu: zing a zing ding ding ding
assbot: Sexy Star Wars Pinups - EWWW! | KRAPPS | a different and funny iPhone app review site

asciilifeform: (that's -exactly- how i pictured it. and why herr kafka never gets credit for inventing dot-matrix printer, i'll never understand. this confounded me as a schoolboy.)
mircea_popescu: also, to encourage the nwo fighters : here in argentina, you can't have a signature certified by any notary unless you leave a thumbprint on the paper. they have little ink things and errything.
asciilifeform pictures a future, arabian btc atm, with built-in hand chopper for those who trip some alarm or other.
mircea_popescu: it's like a time threadmill.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in usa, never such a problem. they'd simply confiscate houses, cars, mattresses of money, until shortfall vanishes.
mircea_popescu: if he doesn't show up... well... that's a fine.
mircea_popescu: <cazalla> i guess you could always step a homeless guy << fun fact : police in timisoara started getting bonuses by total fine volume. total fine volume went up. total fine arrears went way up. city hall in hot water over it, turns out...
jurov: <smooth> that's a good margin actualy
cazalla: i guess you could always step a homeless guy through it and pay him for his time, handprint, ID etc
mircea_popescu: this must be a compact design
mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> must be a template cuz the logo sucks and doesnt match at all <<< looks like it.
cazalla: well they provide the liquidity from exchanges compared to say a lamassu where the owner provides the coins and it can go empty
cazalla: what's to stop you buying a robocoin, print up some fakes and start draining the machine seeing you're not the one providing the bitcoins it dispenses?
cazalla: what they do here to clean the money is feed it in, have a couple spins, withdraw it from machine and it's deemed a win then
asciilifeform: likewise, with casino, cheat has two basic options - win a little, but have to return many times - or win gigantic barrels, but then intense scrutiny.
asciilifeform: cazalla: a casino is an example of a controlled environment. no one comes remotely near a machine - a door, hell, a toilet - without being filmed from several angles
BingoBoingo: <TheNewDeal> If I go to an atm at a casino, and I want to withdraw, where do i withdraw from? << Not ATM at the casino, gambling machines
jurov: yes. and this btm accepts bills and spits out a slip with btc address or such
TheNewDeal: If I go to an atm at a casino, and I want to withdraw, where do i withdraw from?
TheNewDeal: with an atm, aren't you usually depositing into a bank account ?
asciilifeform: there was precedent, if i recall: a casino cheat in las vegas, knew exactly what a particular make of usd scanner wanted.
asciilifeform: machine will accept or reject, but is unlikely to be programmed to rat you out (false alarms, terrible pr) and even if it were - has only a scarce idea who 'you' are (wearing your robber's mask.)
asciilifeform: (it is, in fact, a well-documented mechanism. but imagine.)
TheNewDeal: I'm still surprised that you say it's easier to fake a machine than a person
asciilifeform: but picture if you were a counterfeiter - could you even wish for a better place to make use of the fakes ?
jurov: surprise, apparently it did not happen yet in half a year
asciilifeform: TheNewDeal: likewise, if you give a sham benjamin to a living person, he might cry out for help before you can run off.
asciilifeform: TheNewDeal: the bar is considerably lower for fooling a machine. (until recently, the readers in american vending machines did not even contain colour cameras.)
asciilifeform: jurov: there's traditionally a camera on u.s. atms.
TheNewDeal: Although I think if you could produce that quality of a bill, you most likely wouldn't have a problem giving it out to others (non btc atm owners)
TheNewDeal: so the idea is to try and forge a benjamin and get a real currency in return?
ThickAsThieves: must be a template cuz the logo sucks and doesnt match at all
assbot: Ok who's gonna be the first to put several Apple watches on his penis and make a teledildonics app?
mircea_popescu: it'd be "please cut off your clit, put it in a sushi roll and mail it to me"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if nsa were a girl, it wouldn't be asking for nudies, nor for a fuck, nor for a blowjob during superball, in the parking lot.
asciilifeform: if nsa were girl... 'suite a' would be - the whole orchestra. or not even sure what.
assbot: suite a - Imgur
mircea_popescu: <pete_dushenski> riga is worth a visit: fine food, reasonable prices, beautiful young women, appealing architecture << all true.
pete_dushenski: in the logs, it reads like a fisherman toying with his catch before gutting him
pete_dushenski: kaunas, lithuania was an unexpected surprise. picturesque layout and a couple of local universities made for a lively nightlife
pete_dushenski: jurmala (not your mama) is just 20km west and is the wealthy beach resort/bedroom community for riga, also well worth a visit
pete_dushenski: definitely a few days worth of exploring to do here
pete_dushenski: riga is worth a visit: fine food, reasonable prices, beautiful young women, appealing architecture
ThickAsThieves: but yeah, a tight one...
pete_dushenski: ThickAsThieves: after the wall came down, it's like a new country!
artifexd: bitcoinwisdom certainly paints a picture of "I be a fool". In their whole history of difficulty increases, there have never been two consecutive difficulty increases that added up to less than 12%.
ben_vulpes: call me a poorfag, but i don't get the risk.
ThickAsThieves: shit i didnt realize i never placed a bet on that one
mircea_popescu: well, i'm of the "if it feels like a girl it is a girl" school of heterosexuality.
RagnarDanneskjol: you sure thats a girl
mircea_popescu: http://38.media.tumblr.com/7b48e00dff87be1e7776655d88cc1502/tumblr_n7lckwocCE1tzcq6mo1_400.gif have a gif of a girl having fun instead.
mircea_popescu: it's rare for a horse to be at 13:1 for instance.
artifexd: Yep. You sold me. I'm going to put a couple btc on no.
artifexd: You need, what, a 12% increase in the next two adjustments? That seems almost certain. Which the odds on the bet would confirm.
mircea_popescu: outrageous difficulty bitbets have a lengthy tradition of coming out yes.
artifexd: Seeing as mp has brought up the october bet a couple time and expressed surprise that it is so lopsided, I think he is expecting it to resolve as no.
mircea_popescu: basically if the next diff isn't up 6.5% it's a no
mircea_popescu: http://edge.liveleak.com/80281E/ll_a_s/2014/Jul/24/LiveLeak-dot-com-113_1406258044-BtU-rrQIQAAJ1cDjpglarge_1406258531.jpg.resized.jpg?d5e8cc8eccfb6039332f41f6249e92b06c91b4db65f5e99818bdd6964f4dd9d1a6e1&ec_rate=230 << star of david in fence ?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves: Super Evil Megacorp is actually a cool name << foreal.
ThickAsThieves: so satoshi is a scammer
asciilifeform: fpga mining board (as late as 2013) advertised by 'cardreaderfactory', a firm which appears to sell 'card skimmers' (a type of cheating device, popular in usa, where credit card magstripes are secretly read from unsuspecting victim)
dub: black folk on a horse!
ThickAsThieves: hilarious that wifi calling is a feature and only limited support
ThickAsThieves: Super Evil Megacorp is actually a cool name
dub: its a manletoe
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Gunt | Bulging area found on large older women between the waist and the genital area . Not quite a gut, not quite a cunt... The Gunt.
dub: iphone6, its a samsung
ThickAsThieves: last thing i need is a nude selfie scandal!
ThickAsThieves: "The Mayo Clinic will be giving Apple a hand at its launch event this evening, according to the Star Tribune. "
mircea_popescu: well, it delivers a show.
asciilifeform: in china, death is a spectator sport.
mircea_popescu: amusingly, the punishments for women include forced suicide and confinement to a room, but no mastectomy/hysterectomy, and the jail thing ranks above suicide in severity.
mircea_popescu: they totally should have this. for speeding and for substance abuses. "buy your selection of pop starlets for 42 bitcents a head"
mircea_popescu: Sandra Riahi, 22, in a bikini, chimed in: "I've never done it. I'd be too embarrassed." <<< let the sand niggers in, get fucking burkas and "embarassed" women.
asciilifeform: Ulbricht should go to prison? << nah. he should experience the 'five punishments.' not for dope, but for being a public idiot.
