mircea_popescu: a nm jurov said so. sorry, im parsing the logs rather than compiling them.
mircea_popescu: it's signed itself (there's a link to the pgp sks infrastructure with my signature on it)
chetty: <Pierre_Rochard> chetty: please let us know if you have any other candidates for republication// trilema is a gold mine
mircea_popescu: trying to fix a problem with the town through marriage is not unlike trying to fix poor reception by holding the antenna in certain ways or a malfunctioning computer by running the tap nearby.
mircea_popescu: why'd you marry a full grown woman ?
mike_c: who would want to marry a girl?
mike_c: hm, that is a point
mircea_popescu: mike_c you're not picking a girl then.
mike_c: no. 1) pick a girl. 2) she picks the date
mircea_popescu: afaik it goes like this : pick a girl, pick a date, party.
mircea_popescu: "A verbose and condescending essay written by a child who has never encountered true malice or been hungry in his whole life." << o, "you've never been hungry thus what you have to say is unimportant". because yeah, that's true value : to find out from the frequently hungry how they dun it!
mike_c: sometimes this channel is a sausage fest. save the date's are very reasonable. you don't have all the details figured out, but you know the day and don't want people to book something else.
mircea_popescu: "Dear lord this is absolutely fucking grade-A insane. I had to read that first paragraph 4 times just because I just couldn't believe somebody would ever intentionally write something so convoluted. And it doesn't improve as the paper continues. In all seriousness, this reads almost exactly like the deranged manifestos that are left behind by school shooters, that is the vibe I get from whatever the fuck you want to ca
assbot: BTC is like a drug : Bitcoin
ThickAsThieves: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2bhknd/btc_is_like_a_drug/
mircea_popescu: we need a bigger jail.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron: i sent Jick a message for him to answer on his podcast, telling him he should accept BTC for Mr. A's; he shot it down and mostly focused on the "tone" i used << incredible the gall of these fuckwits.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron: << if it's anything like the counterparty burn for xcp << supposedly this is not a burn, they intend to spend it.
gribble: You rated user princessnell on Thu Jun 12 00:45:23 2014, with a rating of 2, and supplied these additional notes: She's smart..
pankkake: someone made a mistake?
ThickAsThieves: "Save 15% of pay for 30 years and you will be fine, a new study shows. Save for longer, and it gets much easier."
ThickAsThieves: "How to Convert a Summer Internship Into a Full-Time Job" (work for free plz!)
ThickAsThieves: lol they also warn of victimofsuccessery "If the Ethereum Platform is rapidly adopted, the demand for ETH could rise dramatically and at a pace that exceeds the rate with which ETH miners can create new ETH tokens. Under such a scenario, the entire Ethereum Platform could become destabilized, due to the increased cost of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen
ThickAsThieves: "Cryptography is an art, not a science."
punkman: "It is possible that the Ethereum Platform will not be used by a large number of external businesses, individuals, and other organizations and that there will be limited public interest in the creation and development of distributed applications. Such a lack of interest could impact the development of the Ethereum Platform and potential uses of ETH. "
ThickAsThieves: punkman i quote dthat same line yesterday, a great one
ThickAsThieves: nubbins`:incidentally, if anyone's interested, this is what a "save the date" looks like: http://imgur.com/KxD5W0m /// not bad
ThickAsThieves: mircea_popescu:BingoBoingo i saw some on tat's link too /// ah, it seems my post was simply moved from /r/bitcoin, a mod even posted he was mad at all the non-bitcoin-related posts yesterdya
ThickAsThieves: mircea_popescu:canada hasn't had a good musician since cohen visited and the us... //// Propagandhi, Neil Young, Greg MacPherson, The Weakerthans
BigBitz: Banning people who post his own private information is not that much of a shock, Guest73329.
Guest73329: Hey all. Theymos automatically bans anyone who posts his dox on bitcointalk.org -- to demonstrate simply paste http://pastie.org/9414192 in a reply, and your account will automatically be banned.
moiety: hi naphex, wb, hope you had a great holiday :]
BingoBoingo: Eh, most times you encounter a mass of people they will be opposed to you. That's what the whole girding your loins stuff in the old books is about.
danielpbarron: most users of KoL are pretty hostile to BTC anyway; there is a very strong socialist bent in there
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Well, think more like mircea_popescu and what he did with Eve. You can trade shares of 1BTC corp for S.MPOE shares. Maybe start a 1BTMeat clan?
danielpbarron: then I started trying to buy/sell meat for BTC in the game's official chat; got a message from Multi Czar telling me i'd get my account disabled if i continued..
danielpbarron: i sent Jick a message for him to answer on his podcast, telling him he should accept BTC for Mr. A's; he shot it down and mostly focused on the "tone" i used
nubbins`: oh, you're talking about a game
danielpbarron: my hemp backpack lost a lot of value when they implemented the back inventory slot and released an official mr. store style backback :<
BingoBoingo: Fuck, BTC would have been a better investment
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Well, it was always worth more than any part, but... Back in the say the set used to be a 100+ million meat sort of deal
danielpbarron: BingoBoingo, yeah; the petrified time item is worth a lot more now since it's impossible to reverse the conversion
asciilifeform: benkay: which is a shame, because old medical pumps are a dime a dozen on 'ebay.'
benkay: <nubbins`> i struggle to understand living a life so bereft of meaning that blowing your wad on a $50k one-off party is the culmination of your aspirations // that's why they demand consummation immediately afterwards, to keep the void filled
benkay: kuzetsa: uses gribbles db, actually. if you've got a +1 from someone in assbot's wot, you can self-up as you've discovered.

benkay: asciilifeform: regarding pumps, would a peristaltic work?
danielpbarron: right, what i mean is, you can exceed that bonus with other gear, but we're talking about a difference of a few adventures per day
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: It was indeed a nice pull from storage, but... Everything in this world is negotiable... And the set together has an added bonus
danielpbarron: BingoBoingo, if you're getting back into playing, the time set is a nice thing to have; it's one of the most efficient ways to get extra adventures per day
danielpbarron: 20:43:11 <+mircea_popescu> why do all the supposed payments end in .9997 ? << if it's anything like the counterparty burn for xcp, the software puts a limit on 1 BTC per burn, and their reason was to make it harder for whales to burn a huge amount too easily (to make it "more fair" for the little guys)
danielpbarron: with the time trappings, the key is to use a wand to transform them into whatever item is selling for the most
danielpbarron: BingoBoingo, there are so many items.. if you could get a screenshot or something..
TheNewDeal: how did they become a monopoly
benkay: it's a monopoly
nubbins`: oddly enough, this job came to us via a trendy downtown ad agency
asciilifeform: life so bereft of meaning that blowing your wad on a $50k one-off party is the culmination << next: seppuku parties. save the date!
dub: been to a couple of weddings involving several thousand dollars worth of international travel and accom for the guests, one of those had a save-the-date (STD?)
nubbins`: i struggle to understand living a life so bereft of meaning that blowing your wad on a $50k one-off party is the culmination of your aspirations
nubbins`: is yours a real invite or a pre-invite?
dub: I have a similarly gatsby themed one on my fridge
nubbins`: incidentally, if anyone's interested, this is what a "save the date" looks like: http://imgur.com/KxD5W0m
mircea_popescu: <dub> idk, I recall a theory that abnormally high iodine levels in the japanese contributes to their well above average longevity << fukushima makes sense nao.
cazalla: i won't pretend to know much about it other than what i said, law states they must add it to bread here, marketed to help the fetus yet women aren't falling pregnant, sounds more like a marketing pitch - here's a donut with folate, any excuse to buy it
BingoBoingo: About as close as Bio gets to having a level 0 standard
dub: idk, I recall a theory that abnormally high iodine levels in the japanese contributes to their well above average longevity
BingoBoingo: For the cost of keeping a phone alive on the network I dunno of anything cheaper than Tracfone in the US
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: For asciilifeform> we're talking about a gadget that powers up and sends a single 'sms' every blue moon. << You can pay $ int every year.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: But device cost is low and every similar device must be treated as a turd anyways
asciilifeform: we're talking about a gadget that powers up and sends a single 'sms' every blue moon.
kakobrekla: a ok
dub: no, its a burner sim
asciilifeform: dub: is this a formal arrangement, or a fortuitous accident? (e.g. 'comcast' once gave me ~2 years of service gratis. by virtue of sheer ineptness.)
dub: theres a sim in mrs dubs ipad that hasnt had credit on it since.. whenever ipad2 dropped 3+ years? still registers on the network fine
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: tried a number of carriers for this application. noticed this pattern.
dub: it'd be cheaper for me to buy a burner with sim included than just sim
nubbins`: to use a btc analogy
nubbins`: it's sort of like a pre-announcement
nubbins`: so in the wedding planning world, a "save the date" card is a thing
BingoBoingo: At least with the prepaid model if the carrier pisses you of, the shredder is a viable solution to device difficulties
asciilifeform: (how? captive audience. who wants to pay a fat monthly fee for a remote sensor? so you're stuck with these.)
asciilifeform: one can buy 'sim cards' intended for industrial applications - alarms, sensors, etc. where you feed it once a quarter, and the balance is spent when making/receiving calls or sms
BingoBoingo: Azelphur: It looks like you've worked quite a bit on Electrum. Familiar at all with documentation for the server component?
Pierre_Rochard: shesek: a good introduction is here http://theumlaut.com/2014/06/10/bitcoin-is-great-but-it-wont-fix-our-monkey-brains/
dub: it would be a problem if I used the automation bits but its not annoying enough to start pulling it apart
mircea_popescu: prolly needs a tune-upo, the screw
dub: its a bit buggy with the pellets, thinks its jammed and refuses to start around half the time
kakobrekla: its basically a tiny meat grinder.
BingoBoingo: County fair week has to be the worst week, why does a sled need 8 gallons of engine displacement to pull another sled full of weights?
decimation: that's a pretty small gap to close off
asciilifeform: yes. and the cavity it turns in can have no more than a very small gap between the auger and walls.
decimation: you would need a tiny auger screw though?
decimation: plus no drool because it acts as a valve
asciilifeform: turned with a stepper motor.
asciilifeform: decimation: two reasons: air is a terrible working fluid (compressible!) making for very poor repeatability;
assbot: Mircea Popescu offers a short of Etherium coins up to 1 KiloBTC's worth at 5000 per BTC deliverable in 2015 : CryptoCurrency
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: OMG comments http://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/2bfwaw/mircea_popescu_offers_a_short_of_etherium_coins/
decimation: I guess if you do a batch at a time you use it up
