nubbins`: diana_coman: i feel like i should dig
a "beware" sign into the soil somewhere 8)
diana_coman: if you throw
a wall of text once, that's it
diana_coman: it's
a bit of
a hack so not terribly precise - I count non-words and then add 1 - I've used basic string processing rather than all the text mining shit
cazalla: swatting
a bitcoin conference
mircea_popescu: everyone in the old world is very, very vulnerable to
a long long list of new attacks.
mthreat: mircea_popescu: what
a great "DOS" type attack - do things such as tip them small amounts, so they have to file paperwork or be guilty of something
mircea_popescu: which i bet you will result in
a criminal complaint cca 2015ish.
diana_coman: as for words and mean length, I'll be back with it in
a few moments

mircea_popescu: ah lanky guy behind
a very short sixty dollar desk, how amusing you are.
ThickAsThieves: Licensees are prohibited from maintaining relationships of any type in connection with their Virtual Currency Business Activity with entities that do not have
a physical presence in any country.
ThickAsThieves: When
a Licensee is involved in
a transaction or series of transactions for the receipt, exchange, conversion, purchase, sale, transfer, or transmission of Virtual Currency, in an aggregate amount exceeding the United States dollar value of $10,000 in one day, by one Person, the Licensee shall notify the Department, in
a manner prescribed by the superintendent, within 24 hours.
mircea_popescu: this is roughly the equivalent of
a license to build boats provided they're oar powered and leak.
mircea_popescu: so what, this is the strat, "prevent bitcoin from raping the usd by making it unable to work like
a currency" ? lulz. people will just move to connecticut.
mircea_popescu: it's
a fucking fixed volume deflationary currency. it can't even jokingly contemplate such an arrangement.
ThickAsThieves: " No Person shall, without
a license obtained from the superintendent as provided in
chetty: just noticing the self absorbtion of
a channel mostly talking about itself, perhaps b-
a is becoming enlightened?
mircea_popescu: which also brings us to
a disparity : "users by lines, last 12 months 2.) mircea_popescu 92547" according to kako
mircea_popescu: hey everyone that is awake : please put in
a list of five words that you'd estimate are the key terms for [your interest of] b-
a ThickAsThieves: true, i guess we can always detail your exploits in the b-
a wiki
diana_coman: ThickAsThieves curiosity mainly; I've been around for
a while, but I don't talk much
mircea_popescu: lmao wait, wikipedia has
a page dedicated to "fcc fines stern" ?! ahahah.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu uhm, the structures did not seem so uniform, but it could be worth
a try
mircea_popescu: o wait, he also had
a girl that fucked her mother on once ? or what was it ?
dub: all I remember is the awful scene with that chick raping
a woofer
chetty: haha the b-
a reality show, comming soon
diana_coman: ThickAsThieves it clearly is driven mainly by
a few people
diana_coman: obviously, excluding some more could make it
a bit better, but from what I saw, it doesn't get it too far still
mircea_popescu: chetty yeah. it becomes problematic when you provably can't know, yet you still have to. this is
a macroproblem of "nobody knows wtf the tax code says"
mircea_popescu: No better test to see text mining fail, it seems, than applying it to irc logs on bitcoin-assets:
a careful calibration of state of the art tools yielded only
a clear case of “by the time you figure out and implement everything needed to obtain even reasonable results, you surely did the “automated” work at least 5 times if not 10, if not 100.”
nubbins`: i admittedly have no idea but it seems like
a fairly industrious process
assbot: World Bank Report: Bitcoin is
a 'Naturally Occurring' Ponzi
pankkake: ;;later tell asciilifeform I sold headphones. Tried to sold hard drives but no success. It's not very practical anyway, I think it's going to end up on eBay with
a Bitcoin discount
benkay: just successfully scripted
a postgres install on ubuntu
danielpbarron: heh, just donated another 30 USD to jick for some mr.
a's
danielpbarron: that's
a deal if you want; I'll send you 27`000`000 actual KoL meat for 0.05 BTC
danielpbarron: I wouldn't mind donating for some mr.
a's to get that much meat for you
BingoBoingo: No, seriously sounds like
a way to lose
a lot of money
decimation: turkey would be
a much better deal than greece
danielpbarron: my equation is {meat/mr.
a}*{btc/xcp}*{usd/btc}/10
BingoBoingo: decimation: Well, it might have made sense if Blood for Oil was an actual thing and not
a hippie chant
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Cousin actually after leaving broke his pirate sword testing it against
a $15 Walmart machete on honeysuckle in the back yard
mircea_popescu: <benkay> <mike_c> oh, my strategy? no, just the house has been on the losing side the last couple games. // am curious as to how you're deciding how to lay odds. << it's
a rand.
mircea_popescu: "i am now at
a point where i'm so butthurt with the internets i'm going to think the whole of it is just this guy in 8th grade that doesn't like me"
BingoBoingo: Aggro because they imagined
a good resolution source and Draper likes the cox
mircea_popescu: "There can't be 1 person that has
a stake in this that can be happy with how it is proceeding. Bet Yes or No it doesn't matter. Anyone with
a legitimate bet wants
a statement from BitBet about what is happening with this bet. I'm not at the point where I assume the admins of BitBet place
a lot of their own bets on their site, and
a lot of the comments are also from the admins. No one in th
benkay: it's
a distraction! the kid only has so much attention to go around, and the blog is
a dilution of said.
☟︎ decimation: whenever I use
a motorized phillips screw driver I find that it strips before it slips
BingoBoingo: Ah, I thought torx was such because someone in Cupertino thought in 1999 it would be
a swell idea to push Bingo to buy
a $20 screwdriver from radioshack
benkay: <mircea_popescu> some other dood somewhere has this truely ellaborate and complex punishment station, cost him 18`000 dollars // lol sounds
a lot like MPEx.
dub: my god I need
a physio or some shit
assbot: Anonibet is
a SCAM! Cheated me in their world cup contest ! Proof Inside.
decimation: if you want apple stuff, you have to think of it as
a subscription plan
benkay: no, that'd be the OS 'upgrades' that slow machines to
a crawl over time.
benkay: <decimation> apple doesn't "improve", they just go an buy 5 years supply of
a part // neglecting the chassis and the irreplaceable battery...
decimation: apple doesn't "improve", they just go an buy 5 years supply of
a part
benkay: it's also not
a strategy suited to any but the market leaders in quality.
benkay: unlike the rest of the combudder world apful appears to take the notion of 'kaizen' seriously. this in my humble opinion is the only way to stay profitable as
a manufacturing shop.
benkay: the macbook pro's are good, but i have to run aroud to client shops constantly. if you're stationary, well, why not
a real nix?
BingoBoingo: benkay: You're
a Mac person right? What was your favorite piece of iron they released?
benkay: probably just
a photo of my mug and
a gpg key.
BingoBoingo: benkay: Throw
a latteral, and I say your blawg went 404
BingoBoingo: I want to see if such
a fuzzy animal gets dingleberries!
benkay: <BingoBoingo> ;;google manul taking
a poop
mircea_popescu: someone said this isn't feasible. that someone is wrong : takes you about the same time to wait for gnupg to cook up
a new keypair whether the source is dev/random or your dice.
mircea_popescu: <benkay> this is
a correct use of "in extremis, correct?" << sure.
mircea_popescu: <decimation> mircea: the chance of
a random integer from 1 to x being prime is about 1/ln(x) << you just use the entropy to seed, much like pgp does. you don't actually roll the prime itself.
benkay: fucker's never going to fly, but it's
a grand thing to build nevertheless
benkay: it's like
a fuel-cooled methane regen engine
decimation: and if you are going to go through that trouble, might as well build
a high bandwidth source of random values
