ozbot: Why I Never Hire Brilliant Men - Wikisource, the free online library
benkay: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Why_I_Never_Hire_Brilliant_Men
benkay: i'll wait until the pixel density exceeds my ocular resolution, tyvm.
B007: I'd rather that then gov. or charities deciding
mircea_popescu: no. if you mean whether they achieved it legally, im sure htey did. if you mean were they once young, i'm sure they were.
decimation: I don't have any french, only german. Google translate for me.
mircea_popescu: i guess it may, yeah.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i can readily offer a way in which systematic pilfering is essential to commerce and industry. ☟︎
decimation: oh yeah I agree
decimation: I was re-reading some other early Moldbug and found this one: http://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.ca/2007/11/who-heck-is-benn-steil.html
decimation: I suppose that is troublesome for some...
decimation: I always feel like I'm reading an advertisement when I visit engadget
decimation: okay that was my question. I suspected as much, but I was thinking about possible scenarios today and it occured to me that such a precaution would be wise
decimation: I apologize for the bother
asciilifeform: i spent most of the past half day answering questions that ought to be RTFMs.
asciilifeform: damn do i have to hire my own pr girl now?
asciilifeform: i believe this was described in one of mp's articles.
decimation: asciilifeform I had a question about Cardano. I assume that measures have been taken to prevent loss of the private key in the case of the failure of a flash chip or bits thereof?
decimation: I don't think bitcoin rises high enough on the foreign policy hopper to pressure Romania
decimation: I predict that nothing will happen
mircea_popescu: it's really shocking to me that i have to explain the basics of law to people writing news o.O
mircea_popescu: nah, not at all what i mean.
g_forcewinds: If I see any commissioners when Im up at 3am ill be sure to ask them ;-)
g_forcewinds: I'd love to chat further but at the moment I must run. I'm at work and have stories to write. Hope to chat again soon.
mircea_popescu: as far as i know this matter has been discussed in their comission already, and they're working towards a decision ☟︎
g_forcewinds: my impossible i meant that it takes a long time for the SEC to make a determination like whether they are going to regulate. I could be wrong, but I think a public comment period is required
g_forcewinds: Thanks for clarifying your perspective Mircea. I'll be sure to reach out if I you end up in a story again. What's the best way to get in touch? FYI I work at night
mircea_popescu: that "and" doesn't work. i didn't question anything, i asked them the traditional quo warranto.
mircea_popescu: either way, i'm not denying or arguing or anything else. someone calls you on the phone, you ask "who is this"
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't presume to tell them how to be authoritative, i imagine they have lawyers that can sort it out.
mircea_popescu: i indicated to them that they have to make this choice, and how to go about being friends.
mircea_popescu: it works the other way around : i don't argue the negative, they make the statements that establish the positive.
mircea_popescu: that's not how laws work. i don't declare that i broke no laws, and i don't contest the authority of some random person making demands.
ninjashogun: g_forcewinds, not really. Like if you say, "Hi, could you tell me what I'm being arrested for" it's not the same as saying "I'm disputing this arrets, you're detaining me unlawfully!"
mircea_popescu: some guy wanted me how do i know i didn't break any laws.
mircea_popescu: there's an important difference here, i am in no position to dispute anything yet.
mircea_popescu: so one thing is that i didn't dispute the legality of the sec's request, i asked them to establish it.
Duffer1: derp i fixed it
mircea_popescu: since i missed the chance back when slashdot linked it
mircea_popescu: well, i guess there's going to be a steady stream of journo people coming in here these days
mircea_popescu: i suspect it's more to do with ownership structure.
mircea_popescu: "Whenever some new and insightful piece of #bitcoin writing appears, I now automatically look for connection to @Mircea_Popescu"
nubbins`: awesome, i'd love to hear it
nubbins`: i'm partial to that sort of font -- from the pink eye archives: http://imgur.com/Ompvb3G
ThickAsThieves: i'll connect you with music when it's ready too

benkay: hey i've got cum sircomstances out of your control
bitcoinpete: do i need to do some small transactions to get that graph going or what?
bitcoinpete: blech, i have no idea either. regretting it now
bitcoinpete: i don't… who is he?
benkay: i'll erect some pronouns.
Ghaleon: if you import a wallet.dat file into bitcoind does it copy over the receiving addresses? everything that I have read says IT WILL NOT COPY over receiving addresses....
Namworld: Who said I cared? I just have many BTC related channels opened at all time. On the plus side, those channels tend to be quick to link any article related to Bitcoin.
Namworld: I'm not trading anything, I just have like 20+ IRC channels open about Bitcoin.
Namworld: I probably should have pastbin'ed that
Namworld: [17:12] <TheMediator> I think we have enough experience between the regulars where we could take turns hacking the exchange until we get it fairly secure
Namworld: [17:10] <TheMediator> I can host and such
Namworld: [17:09] <Namworld> If I had patched up an exchange with added complexity and everything, it would probably have been a security disaster.
Namworld: [17:09] <Namworld> I know basic PHP and just barely touched database. I made a microapp for fun, that just tracks views and clicks and banners, for a banner exchange. Without any user interface or accounts capability. Just the script for the banners + tracking.
Namworld: [17:06] <Namworld> I'm a noob coder. I could maybe have patched up something in a few months, pretended I knew what I was doing and lost customers funds, making tons of money meanwhile. But I'm not a self-centered, over-confident, can-never-fail asshat,
nubbins`: all three, i suppose
nubbins`: sadly, i dropped the ball and only ordered the color CIS kit today
