fluffypony: I know - innocent until proven guilty and all that
fluffypony: danielpbarron: I find myself torn...I think that SR was an interesting endeavour, and I applaud his efforts in providing a platform, but I think organising six murders is taking Internet-tough-guy too far
danielpbarron: i supported it
jurov: oh yes, i have them
cgcardona_: fluffypony: I thought the best line was:
thestringpuller: ;;later tell benkay get a bouncer; i sent you gpg mail;
bounce: on that note, often manufacturers explicitly forbid to install updates and servicepacks since it might well break the app. gotta love brittle "engineering" (by certified engineers!) like that. I don't suppose there's embedded software consultancy houses that'll do stress testing on the programs to see they'll stand up to such outlandish weirness as running without admin rights and still function after hotfixes get installed and such.
bounce: if I had a choice I'd much prefer my (expensive!) equipment be steered by something unix-y, but if that's Just Too Hard for the people designing the machinery I'll take an open source windows drop-in replacement. better for long term support and all that
dignork: fluffypony: COBOL, allright, but on way hopefully they moved from dbase-style to relational DB, i've seen this happening in some insurance company
fluffypony: I've seen a LOT of LoB apps where they abstracted the business logic from the display/interface
joecool: does it really matter anymore, i thought steam was going all linux and MS pissed off the devs with the windows 8 directx stuf
thestringpuller: i have so many glitches, so i run legit windows for steam...
turbo_ac100: midnightmagic: Yeah that's why I think the timing is good for ReactOS. Now with XP being axed for the nth time.
joecool: i thought directx code was merged into wine like a year or two ago
thestringpuller: fluffypony: a slim copy of ReactOS with DirectX working and all the gunk pulled out would be nice << i've been sayin' that for years lol
dignork: turbo_ac100: open source windows clone? I have to admit, I looked at their source code once, while trying to figure out some windows undocumented functionality, but rewriting outdated OS, what for?
cgcardona_: I got two shots w/ Timbl & my son http://i.imgur.com/8CmOHmZ.jpg && http://i.imgur.com/0erLCdQ.jpg </not so humble brag>
fluffypony: and invariably I end up in ##css asking for help :-P
fluffypony: I'm forced to dabble, so the nature of it eludes me
fluffypony: I just don't "get" CSS
fluffypony: I'm quite jealous - would love to meet him one day
cgcardona_: I met him at a W3C plenary meeting so it's possible he was extra relaxed in that environment but he was super kind.
cgcardona_: but Tim Berners Lee is one of the most humble people that I've me who've accomplished that much IMO
cgcardona_: one of the most passionate group of people I've ever met but legendary red-tape
cgcardona_: I was in the HTML5 working group in the W3C and got to see the red tape up front.
fluffypony: cgcardona_: CSS gives me a headache...I'm definitely not a front-end person from that perspective
TestingUnoDosTre: I would rather many more herpers and derpers flock to the site so I can take their hard earned btc
TestingUnoDosTre: I take it to the chat, not wherever you guys were looking
jurov: i felt like resting some more
fluffypony: off to a beer fest I go, cheers
Duffer1: i was so offended i shall report thee to the internets police
fluffypony: ok that was overly rude, I take that back :-P
kakobrekla: as i said, a 'fuck you' clause must be added.
kakobrekla: hrm i dunno perhaps you found a corner case.
ThickAsThieves: i am bcauth'd, if that helps
ThickAsThieves: but i already auth'd and upped myself i thought ...?
ThickAsThieves: ignore where i said "i left"
ThickAsThieves: i left something icky for ya'll:
HeySteve: I believe the most expensive item yet trading for btc
HeySteve: that I have, no dice. verified email tho. I'm perhaps being extra cautious as it will be a big story
ThickAsThieves: fluffypony:on the topic of stupidity - you mentioned in a post that clever people learn by observation, and stupid people learn by direct experience...but I'm not sure if I agree that every lesson *can* be learnt by observation // well, NEW experiences can't be learned by observation, generally
jurov: i was hoping that hipstrs redefined it already
mircea_popescu: http://bitbet.us/bet/802/bitcoin-to-drop-under-300-before-june/#b31 this is gonna be a bet to watch i guess
fluffypony: oh I miss the goxlag days
mircea_popescu: cuz what counts is when assbot gets around to doing it, not when i say it.
assbot: I don't do bots, mircea_popescu.
mircea_popescu: i was just about to say, people think they can do due diligence, but universally they can not. however, there's going to be a living to be made in the future for those who actulaly learn to.
fluffypony: I must say, the one good thing about having spent a few years at a listed corporate is that you see all the red tape and regulatory crap
fluffypony: everyone "started a company" in their twenties, it's just that when I did nobody would've invested in it (even if I'd asked)
HeySteve: I'm watching a good film about a man who believes himself to be Sherlock Holmes, often the delusion is rooted in denial of some painful reality
fluffypony: also I'm not sure why everyone bought his spiel about being an early BTC/LTC adopter, there wasn't any evidence of that; his lack of technical understanding of cryptocurrency fundamentals would point to the opposite
fluffypony: I agree with that
fluffypony: jurov: that I agree with
mircea_popescu: ok. the math-y thing i was refering too you'll prolly get if you read http://trilema.com/2014/its-not-the-sauce-its-the-poultry-and-other-metamathematical-considerations/
fluffypony: maybe I'm not understanding how "learn" and "mistake" are defined contextually
fluffypony: on the topic of stupidity - you mentioned in a post that clever people learn by observation, and stupid people learn by direct experience...but I'm not sure if I agree that every lesson *can* be learnt by observation
fluffypony: so I pointed out that there already *is* an exchange with barriers to entry to prevent stupidity, but that "everyone" complains about it and then wonders why they get scammed
mircea_popescu: HeySteve: hmm, I should lay out my garden with hedges and such in the form of my GPU << then you could dress as an electron and run around there to mine.
mircea_popescu: i got this comment link from mod was all like omgwtfbbq fml!
jurov: i was here hour ago
HeySteve: I read about this device
HeySteve: hmm, I should lay out my garden with hedges and such in the form of my GPU
fluffypony: ancient Greece or dusty motherboard: http://i.imgur.com/97UageG.jpg
bitcoinpete: ;;later tell mircea_popescu: that must've been the stupid spam-blocker i tried adding recently. it's now deactivated. i'm vaguely familiar with the gentlemanliness of middle ages aristocratic rivalries. sounds lovely, really. far more pleasant than the tyrannical populi or tyrannical khans bookending it.
TestingUnoDosTre: That's what I was thinking
TestingUnoDosTre: Had this beer today that was brewed with the hottest peppers in the world. Slightly afraid I'm going to piss fire tonight.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell bitcoinpete anyway, i was saying that teh yurpeans also had the sort of war-as-a-sporting-event thing, before the french "republic" invented socialism. they worked just fine for evereyone (yes, including those least qualified to form an opinion on the matter).
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell bitcoinpete so i just tried to put a comment in, but "forbidden please enable javascript". as if.
thestringpuller: I'm too drunk for this.
thestringpuller: i'm voiced but not authed
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: i'm not authed but voiced
thestringpuller: i think the fun needs to be divided equally and shared with everyone equally, regardless of contribution...
mircea_popescu: ahh i had too much fun today.
kakobrekla: but yeah, i can see him reasoning that keeping the cheap shares is a good idea
kakobrekla: 03:39.19 ( +mircea_popescu ) ".6 for the shares I bought at .6 or higher. I have all the other shares, some were bought at .1 or so. I got 80% back and saved me a few years of courts and whatever (and he saved 20 years in jail). " this crap makes exactly 0 sense. < it doesnt need to make sense, goat is an idiot but garr is bigger one. it is possible he bluff pressed it.
mircea_popescu: and i was like... not for long.
mircea_popescu: you were like, o, someone could derp in here. and i was like, yeah, but they need voice. so you were like, well, maybe they have it.
artifexd: I wanted to clarify whether I was being chastised.
mircea_popescu: i thought we were discussing a hypothetical
artifexd: Am I currently misbehaving?
mircea_popescu: ".6 for the shares I bought at .6 or higher. I have all the other shares, some were bought at .1 or so. I got 80% back and saved me a few years of courts and whatever (and he saved 20 years in jail). " this crap makes exactly 0 sense.

kakobrekla: i mean the real one
benkay: I got a warning from nickserv saying it will kick me.
mircea_popescu: whoa i thought assbot kicked voice on /nick
mircea_popescu: who would i be authed as ?
mircea_popescu: but since im voiced... i'm authed.
artifexd: mircea_popescu: It was the conversations part that led me to my suggestion about adding ident information to log.bitcoin-assets.com. If you and I are talking right now, I can ensure that you are who I think you are (wot-wise). But if I'm researching you and I find some stuff that your nick said in the log. I don't know if it was you or someone with your
kakobrekla: well i guess i try to give the lungs a bit of rest each night so the bedroom is smokeless.
kakobrekla: but i dont smoke in bed anymore.

kakobrekla: dunno, i dont go out much.
kakobrekla: i am!
kakobrekla: i thought he ment illanois?
benkay: Hi. I'm not really benkay
danielpbarron: artifexd: I believe it does.. you can't get voice without being authed i think
TestingUnoDosTre: I thought it meant rates something legit as if it were illegitimate
artifexd: Apparently I must\
artifexd: mircea_popescu is saying that if I were to see both ratings I would have a view of what happened such that I wouldn't need to ask anything about it, but, if I ignored one of the ratings, I would have a different view of what happened such that I would need to investigate more and thus possibly expose a falsified event?
