dub: I think one will find one has to already have googled for a lot of bent over skank
gribble: Error: "uact=3&dur=860&page=12&start=174&ndsp=15" is not a valid command.
decimation: interestingly a ham radio operator knew about the invasion of the falklands before HMG knew what was going on: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6514011.stm
decimation: yeah it would be neat to have a distributed, public network of that kind of thing.
decimation: like the amplitude of the frequency spectrum across a wide band?
asciilifeform: decimation: idea was, a distributed network thereof.
Duffer1: <RebeccaBitcoin> I have a question for mircea
RebeccaBitcoin: I have a question for mircea

asciilifeform: a 'crowd' spectrum analyzer, that would be something to write home about.
mircea_popescu: RebeccaBitcoin i knew a chick that did the same "flipping" thing. her : http://polimedia.us/trilema/2013/internet-story/

DreadKnight: either as a college graduate with huge debts or being in jail
kakobrekla: do i get to see the clay tablets if i come for a visit?
DreadKnight: "scamcoin" wonder if there would be people actually buying such a coin xD
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform derp who did "bitcoin magazine" copyediting for a short interval right after it was stolen from its previous owners by a bitpay-led alliance
RebeccaBitcoin: I think there is a good chance I'll be able to flip it, like most scamcoins
DreadKnight: RebeccaBitcoin, it's not the issue if you value that crap, the issue is you don't get clients if you don't have one, unless in a few cases
mircea_popescu: <decimation> do you find the kyriarchy oppressive? << should porolly be #b-a motto
DreadKnight: you don't ask a web designer for *online* portfolio, he assumes that
RebeccaBitcoin: You didn't ask if I have a portfolio. You asked if I have a portfolio online.

kakobrekla: do you have a portfolio online
RebeccaBitcoin: I am a web designer
DreadKnight: a dude blowing another dude? gay
RebeccaBitcoin: Just because I omitted that I also gave him a blow job doesn't mean I lied ;p

dub: http://wiki.bitcoin-otc.com/wiki/GPG_authentication#Creating_a_GPG_key
mircea_popescu: that;s a point.
RebeccaBitcoin: Anyway to answer your question mircea_popescu, I read Bitcoin Pete's blog. A good portion of it is copy and paste's from here, so I thought I would come on to see what its all about.
RebeccaBitcoin: I made a GPG key, typed the thing, didn't work
RebeccaBitcoin: The instructions mention nothing about putting anything on a server
mircea_popescu: RebeccaBitcoin if you just put it on the server it may take a coupla hours to propagate.
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight a complicated topic and that's not a particularly relevant source or frame.
gribble: Error: 'E431' is not a valid GPG key id. Please use the long form 16 digit key id.
dub: not dereeted, struck me as a hilarious capitulation to truth
RebeccaBitcoin: He's probably a nice guy, but ya, don't know why he gets mad when we attack stuff
kakobrekla: its a binary outcome, not descriptionary
kakobrekla: ;;8ball is gribble a person?
RebeccaBitcoin: hey is gribble a person?
decimation: just because you deal in a currency doesn't mean you view it as a savings vehicle
kakobrekla: RebeccaBitcoin do yourself a favor , get in the wot.
thestringpuller: benkay: my mom is a super teacher, so I was kinda just set.
benkay: ;;later tell bitcoinpete "Fostering a disciplined and inquisitive mind is the greatest gift you can bestow upon your children, which explains why almost no one gets it right." // shit keeps me up at night, man. just last night i was diagramming out a curriculum in natural philosophy.
benkay: "Funerals were initially a major source of transmission. "Relatives sometimes fall, cry on the dead body, wash the body," says Temba Morris, who runs a government health clinic in a remote village of roughly 3,000 people near the epicenter of the Sierra Leone outbreak."
dub: asciilifeform: worked for many species for a lot longer than we've been upright
bitcoinpete: asciilifeform: basically need a nanostrainer
DreadKnight: seems "la forge" starred in a kid show, lol
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: just because a buncha muricans pretend to be scientists shouldn't sour one on science << but it's so easy to throw out the baby with the bathwater! i've been guilty of this too benkay
DreadKnight: he's a bit full of crap even in the video, people jaw dropping at his sight lmao
DreadKnight: bitcoinpete, it's still a lot for development, but yeah
DreadKnight: though 5 million dollars for a digital app for reading is kinda too much
bitcoinpete: DreadKnight: ya i watched the show as a kid. wasn't terrible or scarring. so better than what's on today i guess
DreadKnight: oh, project seems for a good cause; seen a lot of other celebrities crowd fund retarded, random or selfish crap
DreadKnight: bitcoinpete, sounds a bit gay hmm, I'm afraid; he showed up a bit in Big Bang Theory, impersonating himself as a washed up actor overall
asciilifeform: grand prize - you get to sew yourself into a sack and drown in bathtub. runner up - bullet. bronze medal - car crash.
asciilifeform: vs. fields where the ultimate professional accolade is a silenced bullet
asciilifeform: >> if tired of living, consider becoming a banker or biowarfare specialist.
mircea_popescu: lol isn't chicago doing 40 a weekend by now ?
mircea_popescu: FabianB yeah ok, 99% not a good example for sure, yes.
mircea_popescu: FabianB well thatr's only a point if the odds aren't right. if they're right, doubling the 99% side will yield a doubling of the 1% side.
bitcoinpete: man alive you guys wrote a lot in the time it took me to put that blog post together
decimation: it's true that the dying empire thing isn't such a great deal anymore
DreadKnight: Hollywood makes a lot of movies encouraging death in the line of work; patriotism / heroism / martyr bs propaganda / brainwashing
mircea_popescu: in fact, a us agent has better chances of being shot on the job than someone breaking a us law of being sent to jail.
decimation: I don't think the usg hides this stuff either, it just gets pushed into statistics that no one reads. The usg has a compulsion to account for itself (in its own crazy way)
chetty: how about how many bankers, that one is getting interesting. Being a banker is not healthy these days
mircea_popescu: allow me to blow your mind : a degree of magnitude fewer per capita than US agents.
mircea_popescu: decimation you know how many people die in romania in a year ?
mircea_popescu: from what people have been saying here, they expect it to be a year.
assbot: Search for a Fallen Officer
chetty: usg is a whore
mircea_popescu: i mean warren isn;'t getting a nomination for instance.
mircea_popescu: FabianB it is possible this is a reflection of the actual odds.
asciilifeform: as i understand, the customs inspectors who understand that certain trucks are not to be fucked with, certain hours they should take a smoke break and look away, etc. - are still alive.
dub: unrealted: to save a world of goolepain, is teh SR codebase online somewhere?
decimation: chetty: there's a difference between the media trumpeting a fact and the fact being hidden
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform one of the casualties was a major part of something awful (ie, where teh libertard community resides. it's a sort of anti-bitcoin, that thing)
mircea_popescu: decimation here's a thought : if the number of us agents executed was small, you'd see a lot of publicity over the cases. the reason you don't hear a peep about it is that..
