danielpbarron: i don't even like mine for the non-sensitive things; it just sucks all-around
fluffypony: I love my iPhone. but then again, I primarily use it as a phone. I do a bit of browsing and play games and have a bunch of apps of various utility, but I don't use it for anything I would consider sensitive
danielpbarron: i'm half kidding
HeySteve: hell maybe I'll just blog this idea and see what happens
fluffypony: I don't get keybase.io
danielpbarron: (i know they want your private key, but you can use their service without giving it to them)
danielpbarron: i like the sound of that
danielpbarron: i agree
HeySteve: I wonder if it'd be worth developing a service for this, to make GPG contracts easier for casuals
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron oh i see. yep, you got a solid point there.
mircea_popescu: i saw a - i was all omg wtf i got robbed overnight!
danielpbarron: or in the case I heard about: the headphones with which he entered
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron i don't exactly follow ?
HeySteve: I'm thinking in Bitcoin-trendy places like Kreuzberg that shops accepting BTC would provide this service
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell benkay` "Quixotic damn mission. There are years of fraudulent insanity buried in that forum, and after two weeks of cataloging the madness had to take the project out back and shoot it in the head for fear I'd come down with whatever disease is infecting the brains of those who seek to throw their hard-won bitcoins at unknown entities across the internet. " << that then makes two for you eh ?
HeySteve: I've read an account of where it was done, I think LocalBitcoins got involved. was either a bank or coffee shop
HeySteve: I had an idea to improve security of f2f trades: beforehand buyer signs a contract stating his receiving address. if the buyer gets the coins but doesn't pay (as per security cam), theft is on record
fluffypony: I'm pretty sure I'd need to get some sort of special license for that in parts of the world
fluffypony: thestringpuller: also I don't know if you know this, but BBVA (Spanish bank who bought Simple.com) are pro-Bitcoin, so maybe there will be some interesting integration sometime
fluffypony: I'd hate to have random people I don't know and have never spoken to staying in my house whilst I'm not there
fluffypony: I agree
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell benkay` "I rapidly came to understand that the space compromised of people working on Bitcoin" you mean comprised ?
cgcardona_: haha I bet you do :)
mircea_popescu: i eat them.
cgcardona_: ah yes i see. how very cool. that site blew my mind the first time I saw it.
cgcardona_: wow i didn't realize you made the berkshire bet
mircea_popescu: cgcardona_ funny cause i had just written an article about exactly this
cgcardona_: mircea_popescu: regarding https://twitter.com/Mircea_Popescu/status/459941006210007040—first I'd seen it but I don't frequent the site. crazy stuff
BingoBoingo: Oh, I'll be sleeping soon.
thestringpuller: Baseball is a good excuse to gather I say. At least for us Americans lol
thestringpuller: Damn BingoBoingo I need to treat you to a baseball game this summer.
BingoBoingo: I think one of the big factors crippling fiat businesses is easy access to leverage. Lets operations learn to be weak.
thestringpuller: I've been onl hold for 50 minutes
thestringpuller: this is the exact reason fiat businesses will die, and I have learned that tonight
thestringpuller: yea but as you can see I just re read the AirBnb one and commented on my recent experience
thestringpuller: i love that
asciilifeform: can't speak for kako - i sleep occasionally.
thestringpuller: do you ever sleep asciilifeform ? i'm pretty sure you and kakobrekla are robots...
asciilifeform: i should probably buy one of those things before they vanish entirely.
asciilifeform: decimation: i've known about greenarrays for ages
decimation: mircea_popescu: "anyway, this constant tendency to abstract people out of life is a sickness by now." << I suspect as least 90% of USG spending is put toward programs who have the goal of treating people as if they were automatons
moiety: i watched Dead Man on kako's recommendation other night, reminded me of Seraphim Falls. both are good
moiety: nubbins`: i was going to suggest you watch a film but i think you've seen everything ever made XD
nubbins`: yeppers. i didn't design the manson poster tho, just printed em
moiety: aw don't get too snowed under, breaks are good! i saw your picture :D loved the heart on the bum.
nubbins`: benkay i think you mean dov charney :D
ThickAsThieves: so i'm watching Paul Romero's youtube and listening to Heroes shit. The guy's damn good.
danielpbarron: first and last apple product I will ever buy
danielpbarron: it's probably apple's fault; I never should have bought an iPhone
danielpbarron: maybe i configured something wrong; don't have this problem on my laptop
thestringpuller: if i lose it. im fucked. re enterin makes you back that shit up if anything.
thestringpuller: i have like 20000 credits
thestringpuller: i j
danielpbarron: hm, I wish cookies were more persistant in chromium for iOS; keep having to re-enter my trilema credit pass
benkay: "i don't feel comfortable being topless at work."
benkay: i go out, i meet a chick as part of my gadding about the local scene. she's an acceptably well-practiced and hardworking programmer. i like her, we fuck. i can't hire her now basically.
benkay: i'd be satisfied if we allowed sex in america
mircea_popescu: i was thinking, this is kind-of how plenty of women do shopping today anywya
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: absolutely, I have faith the Grand Designers will come up with Cool Shit (tm)
benkay: distributed systems as a term of art in the industry (as i'd expect you to know, fluffypony) does not refer to these blockchain applications
fluffypony: I'm thumbsucking here, I'm not a distributed systems expert
mircea_popescu: i'd never use it.
mircea_popescu: so i buy some shit from you. i send it to an addy where you have a sig and i have a sig and we must both sign for you to get paid ?
benkay: fluffypony: i've yet to figure out how to build a DAC i can't rob.
fluffypony: mike_c: I think interesting things are coming from "trustless" systems when trust becomes a product of data instead of a product of human decision making. For instance, imagine a designer works with a client who specs their project out. When the designer has completed it and delivered it, intelligent software is able to analyse his design and determine within a reasonable amount of probability that it matches the client's agreement both
mircea_popescu: as i said :D
benkay: fluffypony: if i can't list a thing on mpex, i haven't made a good enough thing. there isn't another exchange out there that i'd sully my thing by listing on.
benkay: i thought facebook/myspace were "VC Gems"
fluffypony: I don't think the tech is fundamentally flawed, I think there's a lot of good stuff and good ideas underlying it all...I just think that anything like that is only really going to be useful in 20+ years when the current banking/regulation systems are significantly different from today
kakobrekla: i deleted my linkedin a couple of days ago
danielpbarron: if counterparty does take off, I have some choice asset names squatted
jurov: actually, if p2p trading system that can truly do that gets invented, i think it's inevitable
benkay: i guess i'm assuming someone does a 'distributed' 'exchange' adequately at some point in the future.
benkay: i guess the real question is 'is there an endgame for distributed exchanges'?
kakobrekla: i think its 5 this month
mircea_popescu: like i go... pls to pay me back 100 btc. you say well... you ain't got 100 btc. how do you know i don't ?
mircea_popescu: but i mean... at any point you must somehow know the maximum im allowed to withdraw
kakobrekla: i dun think i can do that there because of the fee structure
Naphex: i got like ~100GB/s DDoS protection from the datacenter, after they cut upstream
jurov: i suggest just using normal CDN
fluffypony: mike_c: I don't know if you can exclude it in CF's PageRules, never bothered checking, but you can have a subdomain (CNAME / A record) and just turn CF protection off for it
bounce: oh, while I know next to nothing of trading, I have a possible mm candidate: moriarty, the one of spamming come to ##econometrics (in)fame
mike_c: i like that idea
kakobrekla: or i can proxy it for you
fluffypony: I hate having to have a UI on a server, lol
mike_c: jurov: yeah, that would cool. if you provide it I will ingest it
mike_c: i don't know if i'll go that route though. i hate web scraping.
jurov: mike_c: guess i'll need to feed you marketmaker bot's trades, yo?
mike_c: ah. i thought about doing something like that with selenium. i haven't tried phantomjs.
fluffypony: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=v0Zscx9Q
mike_c: i didn't feel like participating in the arms race
mike_c: yeah.. i've seen PITA ways with scraping the cloudflare response, grabbing the JS shit and posting some form or something.
fluffypony: mike_c: I figured out how to scrape through CloudFlare, if you need me to make the jd mpif number available for you or explain how to walk past cloudflare
jurov: asciilifeform, also i think you assume there was more cultural exchange between ussr and its colonies than there actually was
nubbins`: i think that might be from the ol' heart-shaped-sticker-in-the-tanning-booth trick, but i'm not sure
mircea_popescu: do i get a heart butt tattoo ?
Naphex: nah i it's the same on my audi/quattro
mrstickball: i see
