mircea_popescu: i'd just go back in time and fuck cleo.
robwhiz22: mircea_popescu, I see.
mircea_popescu: robwhiz22 i didn't see it. i just have a stock answer to all those that insist to aproach me personally as if we have some sort of a relationship.
robwhiz22: asciilifeform, I would have preferred not to chat in here but of course am happy to do so if he requires it.
robwhiz22: asciilifeform, mircea_popescu has seen a proposal I submitted to polymedia and responded that "The best approach would be to join #bitcoin-assets on Freenode" and sent me a link ("http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=bitcoin-assets if you don't have a client handy") which is what I called an invitation.
asciilifeform: robwhiz22: i imagine you'd have to confess here wtf the 'proposal' is
fluffypony: benkay: just to make sure I understand, you're talking about this: http://stocks.about.com/od/evaluatingstocks/a/072908moat.htm ?
robwhiz22: mircea_popescu - you wrote that you do not want to PM and that's not likely to change. Could you therefore answer here to the proposal I submitted to Polimedia?
asciilifeform: for some reason i picture the 'scope' as a gadget a la the MIT roulette cheating machine
nubbins`: i remember hot wheels that did that
fluffypony: http://i.imgur.com/5VfFrqy.jpg
nubbins`: why do you think i hate women ;(
fluffypony: I never thought I'd marry a blonde
fluffypony: nubbins`: I'll be sure to tell her she's fake :)
fluffypony: mike_c: I agree with that *at the idea stage*
mircea_popescu: neither, i was just sayin' generally.
mircea_popescu: and i do mean great, not in the sense of "tinker joe thinks this rocks after two beers".
fluffypony: I find this a contentious issue...I agree that ideas are worthless, implementation is critical, but if implementation has already begun and the person seeks counsel/funding how much of that do they make public?
mircea_popescu: if you keep pretending like you call the shots i'll simply ignore you.
mircea_popescu: robwhiz22 no, i merely pointed you out to here. i'm still not going to pm with you, and that's not likely to change.
robwhiz22: Mircea, I sent you a proposal last week and you invited me in here for your answer.
robwhiz22: mircea_popescu invited me in here. I came in on Sunday but you were going to a Bat Mitzvah.
nubbins`: i tell ya, this nick is scam-proof
mircea_popescu: besides, i like dangling my own pointers damnit
mircea_popescu: jurov the payout must involve truly heroic effort << no, i'm just being blonde most of the time
benkay: i r no time hack irc
benkay: you and i both know the only solution is keys on a device you trust and bitcoin.
benkay: i dunno where this went off the rails.
benkay: customer wants a gun that fires backwards. i say "but it fires backwards!" they say "just build it."
jurov: but i don't get what you are misunderstanding?
benkay: explain it to me before i make more mistakes, jurov
jurov: yes, that's why i'm talking about threshold
benkay: nor i.
benkay: as with all installed software, i think it's the user's issue.
Mats_cd03: i imagine mitigating mobile malware is largely a policy issue
Mats_cd03: i guess they're not starving, just homeless
benkay: the approach i expect to see implementers use is passwords + phone auth
benkay: there's an auth path that does away with passwords, but i don't know that anyone's going to implement it.
benkay: i'm insufficiently capitalized myself to talk about capitalization
benkay: i had nothing to do with that comment, pLambert
Musk: i meant Contact... gosh.
benkay: dignork: i understand the situation on the ground.
benkay: i know i know; party line is "bitcoins aren't money"
Apocalyptic: seriously what kind of spam I get.. moreover the domains are shitty
Apocalyptic: bargain pricing that I thought you guys would like to know about as they
benkay: bounce: re "intuitive" computing: i build this shit all day and only occasionally hate my life. the only time it makes sense to me is when it's not so much a bit of software (software nominally empowering humans to do things they could not before) but a tool (in the sense of a hammer, used to do a specific thing).
Shakespeare: and I like this name too
Shakespeare: benkay, the issue (and likely reality) I see with your NSA theory is that it would echo to all versions ever
benkay: pLambert: i suppose that's for His Busyness to determine, eh? not us plebs...
mike_c: i had this thought last night. if i was the nsa, and i had injected this awesome new backdoor into 1.0.1f, and i was really anxious for everyone to upgrade right now.. I would publicize my outdated backdoor called heartbleed.
jurov: i propose delayed divs to be compounded by MPBOR >:-]
mike_c: i vote for mpoe-pr as mpoe-accountant
thestringpuller: with a conference in 2 weeks I'd hope he's busy :P
pLambert: I don't have time for patience!
gribble: Error: I haven't seen drama.
robwhiz22: BingoBoingo: I'll try later and see if he's on.
gribble: I was right, you were wrong. Again. Feel the burn. pe Trilema - Un ...: <http://trilema.com/2013/i-was-right-you-were-wrong-again-feel-the-burn/>; Decembrie 2010 pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.: <http://trilema.com/2010/12>; Oda Superbiei pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.: <http://trilema.com/category/oda-superbiei/>
mircea_popescu: here, i gave up trying to post the shit in irc, made a blogpost instead.
keonne: Mostly because I have no idea what to expect
keonne: I believe I am visiting Romania this year, I'm looking forward to it very much
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: oh I misunderstood the "ipad ftw." comment
mircea_popescu: i never used an ipad.
mircea_popescu: actually, if anyone cares to explore this topic, i've wtf'd my foreign slaves with "filantropica", a romanian movie of the 90s. pretty much a slice of life, could as well be a documentary.
BingoBoingo: Oh, yahoo is password weak because heartbleed. Figured I'd offer something on Yahoo for people to sign up for
mircea_popescu: but meanwhile i figured it out :)
mircea_popescu: "I the spirit of #heartbleed is anyone else interested in -assets fantasy baseball on yahoo?"
BingoBoingo: I the spirit of #heartbleed is anyone else interested in -assets fantasy baseball on yahoo?
BingoBoingo: http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--VaaBMIhp--/c_fit,w_320/671443921815989424.png
mircea_popescu: i would say the same thing explains the longevbity of the thing as explains the longevity of soviet satellites : they're still in orbit.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo lol. i hope they make a name for it and put it in wikipedia. something like a DAB, or something.
dexX7: hehe.. no i mean.. people make errors, that's for sure, but sometimes one would say "you'd need to be very, very stupid, do to an error of this kind and it's likely no one sane would ever do something like this". and i'm wondering, if this is the case here
dexX7: but the server's private key is usually not exchanged, i think?
dexX7: hey i'm still thinking about the heartbleed stuff and was wondering: how could one - in theory - do something nefarious with this? user sessions aside, but what else is flying around there?
mircea_popescu: the exact car i'd have imagined.
Diablo-D3: BingoBoingo: thats like asking if I've made peace with fossil fuels
keonne: moderation and I.... eh
BingoBoingo: Diablo-D3: I dunno, have you ever made peace with bread yet?
fluffypony: keonne: Coffee is awesome, I refuse to believe it has any negative affect on my health :-P
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: Btc jam had the option, I figured it wasn't unheard of for loans with a term of more than like 2 weeks
mircea_popescu: i did notice it. i discarded it, too, cause who the hell is giving you a fiat loan.
fluffypony: keonne: Meh, it was a year ago, and I can understand mircea_popescu not noticing the USD linked loan
fluffypony: Not that I'm not naive now
fluffypony: I was...more naive then
fluffypony: Yeah I get that
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: ok but as mentioned in the original post, the issue was not solvency or collateral - it was a brief experiment to see if I could get a secured loan at a better rate than I could locally
mircea_popescu: i guess i'm blogging this.
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: I think that picture popularized that acronym
fluffypony: She says hi: http://i.imgur.com/w6yiSSd.jpg
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I showed my wife that blog post
BingoBoingo: So I can't complain.
BingoBoingo: I the US the Hooverites paited him as the devil, worse than Castro, but he gave Russia its booze back.
mircea_popescu: i dun know brejnev was all that bad, economically at least.
BingoBoingo: I've only met one person who worked at DISA though and they were shipped to London after racking up more DUIs int he states than Mr Bond himself.
BingoBoingo: For small sample sizes I can gather, in the US the actual drug free figures are small
mircea_popescu: incidentally, i wonder what % of the us agency agents are actually drug free. not pretend-free, not pass the test free, but actually, as a lifestyle.
mircea_popescu: i guess may account for why putin "doens't understand how the world works".
mircea_popescu: "it was found" derp. i dunno wtf land of the free you live in, i went to scvhool in communist romania. yet a teacher'd not have dared go through your bag.
BingoBoingo: I raise you http://www.27bslash6.com/easter.html
mircea_popescu: "We would never strike a student and whether the software is pirated or not is not the issue. He denied having the drive which means he knew he shouldn't have it here then it was found in his bag so I feel the punishment is suitable."
BingoBoingo: I liek how allegedly the msot illegal thing I have done in my like was supposedly making a fucking phone call
