pete_dushenski: AdrianoOliveira: how did you hear about b-a?
BingoBoingo: AdrianoOliveira: This is a bit trading nexus, a bit social club
BingoBoingo: AdrianoOliveira: Lurk a bit, you might learn something
mike_c: it's getting long. perhaps i'll post as pdf and call it a book.
BingoBoingo: Seems given these long block times... Atc is on a long walk to the next diff drop
BingoBoingo: "Remove disabled (weakened export and non-ephemeral DH) cipher suites from the cipher list. This reduces code size, saves data segment space and prevents them from being turned back on at runtime by flipping a bit in memory."
BingoBoingo: At least it looks like Libressl portable is making a lot of progess http://opensslrampage.org/
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: Building a personal brand is an excellent advice but these fuckers do it all wrong. Step 1: Call People fuckers Step 2: Get drunk and Markov chain rant a bit... etc
nubbins`: shoot me in the face with a gun
BingoBoingo: I plan on staying on the Illinois side of the river for a while, shit is getting serious
gribble: The answer is a resounding no.
ben_vulpes: "position is work all day. pay is a bed in the corner and scraps from the table. interedast?"
BingoBoingo: mike_c: That's a good question. Prolly Cloudbet or Nitrogen sports. Maybe Anonibet? All I really do sports betting wise any more off of BitBet is penny bets on baseball and bigger bets against Serena according to the bet against Serena algorithm
mike_c: BingoBoingo: i'm looking for an example for a blog post. who is currently the 2nd best sports bitcoin betting site?
BingoBoingo references of course the test for fibrin degeneration products in the blood, known as a d-dimer
BingoBoingo: d-dimer: Is it a clot?
mike_c: yes but you aren't running a consumer facing buisness.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mike_c: but who and why would spend actual money on it, is a mystery << Pretty much all I'd spend money on is "lol, cocks" or "White Africa Future" (link to interracial gangbang) or perhaps some other mischeif...
mike_c: you're probably already smoking it. you need to have a valuable audience.
asciilifeform: mike_c: but who and why would spend actual money on it, is a mystery
mike_c: but, i would say you are more likely to allow a text-only ad. perhaps not.
mike_c: you don't have to cater to the person paying. if you are providing a premium product customers will deal with the headaches. would you jump through some hoops to get an ad on www.berkshirehathaway.com? what if they said it had to be text only?
thestringpuller: ben_vulpes: the venues arent customers. catering to a small intelligent audience and having them as your customer is not mutually exclusive
assbot: A cat picture |
ben_vulpes: <thestringpuller> okay for starters why cater to venues as the priority? << because catering to the masses is a losing proposition.
BingoBoingo: Well, there's got to be a contingency for the end of the month with the Trilema buy's advertised end. The buy this space graphic looks pretty good, but... I mean this could devolve into -assets bloggers just trolling each other again
thestringpuller: venues require traffic to be "catered to" vis-a-vis trilema vs. some other blog of quality that is not as established
BingoBoingo: They've got to have appropiate sized art for each or a conversation with the blogs about standardizing on a size.
BingoBoingo: If coinroll has a square ad that works for them already...
BingoBoingo: Ah, sat on the sentence to long. The venue want's to attract a lot of bids, and has already sunk space on the ad widget.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Suppose the venue's perspective where it's in the venue commits space X by Y pixels already. Seems bidding from people confident in a text ad and properly sized images would, eventually be a desirable situation. I imagine for you as well since... with a 1% house edge you've eventually got to get volume.
mike_c: mircea_popescu:mike_c hey, how about a bitcoin mud platform ? << zork for bitcoin? the grue ate your coin?
ben_vulpes: benefits of a forum
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes thestringpuller: These are the important questions which are probably better debated now than when you throw a beta label on it
thestringpuller: There is a whole consortium of parents that keep their kids away from "real tv" so that they don't bug their parents for every new toy advertised.
nubbins`: chetty, after a fashion. sometimes.
thestringpuller: ben_vulpes: you're really bad at advertising. if you want text only you'd need support a inconography. The disney font is synonymous with the bran.
mircea_popescu: anyway i got a meeting so bbl.
princessnell: i am a barbaric american monoglot, unfortunately :-/
mircea_popescu: the guy is saying "o pula roz din fier cu luminite" which means "a pink iron cock with blinkenlichten"
mircea_popescu: lemme share a high water mark in the history of romanian cartoons
princessnell: lol. the buttplug method can be a last resort.
princessnell: i'm walking a thin line as it is, trying to convert american millenial college grads into crimethinkers.
princessnell: mircea_popescu that's a good idea. get some synergy going. it will take some easing into.
jurov: i was a week under the rock, what is the vulpine thing?
HeySteve: if it comes to seriously coding up gamebooks, this project is a good example. it works for the lone wolf books: http://projectaon.org/en/Main/Books
jurov: lolwhat? coinroll doesn't have a mermaid
mircea_popescu: yeah ben_vulpes has a point. i think the entire appeal of the tomb raider chick was her being subversive.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: Where's this comment mircea_popescu left on Tim Swanson's blog? << it just said "how about you come to b-a" with a webirc link
mircea_popescu: mike_c hey, how about a bitcoin mud platform ?
ben_vulpes: the whole point of the mermaid is fuck a logo
mircea_popescu: can;t even have a logo no moar.
BingoBoingo: police firing tear gas at angry residents despite the fact that they're standing behind a fence on private property and are apparently unarmed:
mircea_popescu: ;;rate dignork 2 He's a character.
gribble: You rated user dignork on Mon May 12 10:27:20 2014, with a rating of 1, and supplied these additional notes: he cracked my hashes!.
mircea_popescu: HeySteve my point being that this is just one example. you need a coder to know the things that are obvious and well known that you don't know.
mircea_popescu: this sort of clunk will sink what otherwise is a clever promising thing.
HeySteve: although maybe later I'll have single player versions on a website, so will need a little coding there
mircea_popescu: nds. Either that or suggest a way to make things trustless.."
mircea_popescu: HeySteve the tech involved seems very naive. stuff like "Red text installments will always include a password-protected file containing a description of the optimal choice. The password will be revealed in the next installment, ensuring a pre-determined answer unaffected by the value of bets placed or other factors. You’ll have to trust me not to play my own game or leak the right choice to my cronies before voting e
mircea_popescu: Example, Coinan encounters a hostile, socialist vampire. These choices are presented:
mircea_popescu: cazalla 6781 total articles, 2567 in english. 1610 of these however are the result of me dumping the wikileaks trove back before wikileaks itself decided to publish documents (i only did stuff referring to bucharest, but it did force them to get their act together and a day later they released the cables). these don't appear in the random rotation (i imagine that's what you're doing) and so the numbers would be
nubbins`: i've got a feeling these "what is btc" posters are gonna be a big hit
mircea_popescu: a) what economy ; b) wut ?
mircea_popescu: imagine sitting there with a windowfull and just wondering if it's fucking markov chain day.
mircea_popescu: imagine these coke addled, add dyslexic monkeys shooting emails to each other at 3am off a stripper's asscrack
danielpbarron: 10:19 <+kakobrekla> especially if F5 is remapped to shutdown. << one time, at a LAN party, I remapped someone's "W" key to suicide :D
mircea_popescu: so in the end, ima count pete_dushenski 's summary as accurate : "Serious scholarship of a work is merited if and only if that work is itself a piece of serious scholarship."
BingoBoingo: I guess I'm staying out of StL proper for a while
assbot: Summing up police militarization with a photo from Missouri. The camo is required because? http://t.co/Jr6atNWxjR http://t.co/IeZgZNppxl
punkman: so what if founders wanna suck some toe, why does YC have a say?
BingoBoingo: It's not a place that deals with business's it's fucking summer camp trying to turn a profit on macaroni crafts
BingoBoingo: So this thing we are trying to convince people is a "business" is so not a business that we can just turn them off if people touch genitals
mircea_popescu: so ycombinator is finally reduced to a dating service ?
punkman: "So with Demo Day approaching, I'd like to make the following point explicit: Y Combinator has a zero tolerance policy for inappropriate sexual or romantic behavior from investors toward founders. Don't even think about doing it. I will find out. Y Combinator will not continue to work with you."

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: PGP appears once, in a footnote in his second PDF, GPG appears not at all
mircea_popescu: especially in the face of having called a random string generator in an article you're ostensibly rebutting.
nubbins`: a thousand times ^
mircea_popescu: anyway, the presumptiousness of calling a pdf "my book" is striking.
mircea_popescu: kidsshould get NEGATIVE attention whenever they ask for it. such as a good beating.
mircea_popescu: this idiocy came to be highly regarded by parents that aren';t people, that you shouldn't give attention to kids asking for it the wrong way (usually throwing a fit). this is nonsense.
pankkake: I suspect his publishing method is just a way to avoid rebuttals
BingoBoingo: $4.5 million Ponzi scheme through a firm called Bitcoin Savings & Trust.891 In fact, due to the

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: the footnote 891 Interacting with fiat institution, a guide by Mircea Popescu, SEC Charges Bitcoin Entrepreneur With Offering Unregistered Securities, SEC charges bitcoin entrepreneur for share offering from MarketWatch and SEC Alleges Texas Man Ran $4.5 Million Bitcoin Ponzi Scheme from LexisNexis
BingoBoingo: A bunch of weird characters that should have been spaces were treated as line spaces
HeySteve: The goals are to allow real-time creative collaboration between storytellers, illustrators and readers and also to deepen the excitement of classic gamebooks by making player decisions a true gamble.
HeySteve: 80’s children will have fond memories of gamebooks like the Choose Your Own Adventure, Fighting Fantasy or Lone Wolf series. These books captured the essence of role-playing by granting players agency over their character within a greater narrative. Inspired by such classic interactive fiction, I’ve adapted the format to take advantage of the internet and Bitcoin, the coin of the
HeySteve: COINAN: The Wrath of BitCrom - A Blockchain-Powered Online Gamebook (with Gambling)
