ThickAsThieves: "These people had obviously spent a long time plotting this crime and I doubt they would have been able to keep their plans secret for all that time, without telling others about their elaborate scheme."
ThickAsThieves: but i wonder who's using what thumb
mircea_popescu: trees, i hope.
mircea_popescu: everyone's a conservative until they become the richest guy in the valley, at which point their concern suddenly becomes "what if all these thirtysomething conservatives do what i do only better ? QUICK! TO THE LIBTARD MOBILE!"
chetty: I think those boys just want to grow up, and have no clue how to do it so they revert to 'go do violence'
mircea_popescu: im sure he doesn't like tits-pr. me... i'm an abstraction.
mircea_popescu: i experience the world through it commenting on my blog.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` now ask me where i found this guy.
mircea_popescu: y other anti cis activist I did nothing,finished my workout and just bitched on tumblr.it was as if I could hear Gertrude Stein saying..Bravo…Bravo…"
mircea_popescu: "Yesterday as I walked to the gym, I saw that all the treadmills were occupied by fatties. so I chose the stairmaster/step machine for a try. to my surprise I saw that you could set your gender only with two options! male and female! I was outraged because although I was assigned a male because of my very big dick I identify with leopard slugs which are hermaphrodites with penises on the back of their heads! so like an
mircea_popescu: i doubt that's what it is, myself.
mircea_popescu: course most of that happened before mothers were automatised away from the childrearing process, so traditionally it's noted as "i want my mommy"
mircea_popescu: where they essentially go "i waaaaaaantttt my myyyyspaceeee"
nubbins`: "i'm tired of being a fighter. i want to manage my facebook reputation"
mircea_popescu: I want to run away to Syria and become a fighter, or a pirate singing sea shanties, or a cossack in the Orenburg steppe, or to join a Chechen teip and steal horses from the lowlanders.
mircea_popescu: "I’m tired of university. I’m tired of having a fucked up sleep schedule, and studying. I’m tired of the fucking time I waste on the internet liking ironic meme pages and managing my facebook reputation, and shitposting on ylilauta.
nubbins`: ;;later tell duffer1 latest i heard is that there were unspecified production problems with the coins
nubbins`: ;;later tell benkay i don't hate the look, i hate the fact that it's barely functional. ;(
nubbins`: Mats_cd03: i'll make you a shirt if you pay for it (how many times have i said this on irc!)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeah i see.
mircea_popescu: ;later tell benkay i'd say Bitcoin is the name, like Coca-Cola, and bitcoins is the generic, like give me two cokes
MisterE: too soon? http://i.imgur.com/DjnfX0o.jpg
jurov: me too, i'm not disclosing anything further
chetty: I just find all the theories about who and what MP is amusing
chetty: hehe, so what is it MP is a crowd or MP is really all, I am confused
jurov: http://trilema.com/2013/the-stuff-all-good-conspiracy-theories-start-with/ i'm on one photo there, MP and Hannah (-the PR) are there
antephialtic: unless some of you have actually met him in person and I'm just being dumb
antephialtic: jurov: It's apparently a very common name in Romania. I was under the assumption that the whole MP persona is a farce
jurov: i have met her in person and saw her descend upon the talk with an ipad
antephialtic: but I could be completely off base
antephialtic: MPEx is definitely a team of people. I think "MP" is the one on IRC, tweeting, writing trilemma posts, and posting on bitcointalk
benkay: i like the theory
benkay: ;;later tell mircea_popescu derp i mean https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=430137.msg4766732#msg4766732
toffoo: i'm not sure
benkay: ;;later tell mircea_popescu hey if you have it on hand i'd appreciate a link to where dr forehead claims that since he outperformed the scams he made money for his clients
benkay: stahp chetty stahp i cannae take na more
BingoBoingo: benkay: Not yet, but I'm contemplating playing with it.
benkay: that's as may be, but the link i posted is derpy as hell on its own.
BingoBoingo: I kinda want to make an account there to read the derp, but... I know they's boot me the first time I leaked some derp and prevent me from enjoying more derp
chetty: I like podcasts sometimes, listen while doing other stuff but mostly I'd rather read
benkay: i suppose that presumes being able to put one's thoughts into coherent words instead of babbling into a microphone.
BingoBoingo: chetty: My objection to the video and podcasting is that when I digest information on my own time I want to do it in an aesthetic environment of my choice.
benkay: upshot was "honey, if there's no text, and it ain't comedy, i ain't interested."
benkay: babydoll wanted me to watch some maddow thing about god i don't even remember
BingoBoingo: I dunno really why people try to force information into audio or video without offering the same in text anyway.
BingoBoingo: They suggested a link as an example of how I could make my site look "better" I pointed out the linked site should die in a tire fire.
benkay: oh? i must've missed this.
BingoBoingo: Eh, I think when I was out friday someone I gave less gentle design suggestions to was trying to hunt me down when I came back to the logs
benkay: and i appreciate that you all let me fix it in my own time, with only the occasional gentle suggestions.
benkay: i also knew it then.
benkay: i know it sucked before.
BingoBoingo: I seriously can't get over how much better your site looks Benkay
benkay: i worked for one of the perl greybeards who built and ran the place for a while
BingoBoingo: It's nice, its familiar, and I understand the culture
BingoBoingo: I dunno that there could have been a better way to get that information.
BingoBoingo: Eh, I might actually be the only person who likes the new Slashdot beta
benkay: "traction". silly-con valley horseshit, i say.
BingoBoingo: benkay: Nice. I'm rather glad I reposted that because the first instance never got any traction.
BingoBoingo: Apparently I missed the discussion on US police
benkay: oh if only i had the time
benkay: i have too much to do before i mature
benkay: maybe not, though. i did a complete 180 on my personal image over the past four months as our firm has gained traction.
BingoBoingo: Yeah, I killed my backgound image. Might make a more subdued version.
benkay: need to deploy some capital against the design to get it just right, but i've finally ripped out all the modern garbage.
BingoBoingo: Reading the logs looks like I slept through the Journos
benkay: that's what i'm rolling with.
BingoBoingo: I tend to thing Bitcoin the thing is proper, bitcoins the unit of the thing not proper
BingoBoingo: benkay: I'm still wrestling with that
BingoBoingo: Duffer1: I thought Smoothie had the physical litecoins
joecool: still doesn't mean I think it's a great idea to ship a product without a convenient simple auth system (easier than carrying around a heavy armored briefcase), but yeah ttyl :P
joecool: if it is missing while I am gone, I should be able to revoke the key in the amount of time it takes them to open it
joecool: heh, you're correct a briefcase safe will stop a casual attacker while I take a shit
joecool: mircea_popescu: i meant a series of numbers not a sewing device
joecool: mircea_popescu: i figured you'd say as much, it does seem trivial though to echo a string into the device before key generation, have it set a default counter to 3, and require that same string to be passed to the device in order to activate signing function
joecool: mircea_popescu: assuming i leave it out by accident to go take a shit or whatever, attacker can sign whatever he wants with it, i will know it happened later on when the signature counter is incremented but who knows what he'll have done by that time with my identity
joecool: the cardano seems ok if you can maintain physical security, it doesn't even try to stop an opportunistic attacker, i really don't see why it shouldn't have at least a simple auth system
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: link fixed, just deleted that last / and it fixed itself. and i thought you'd like the art bit.
bitcoinpete: asciilifeform: you're right, the cardano isn't the holy grail. but teleportation still is. i've edited the article accordingly.
asciilifeform: i can't really picture the local tyrant fining them. now, paying, on the other hand!
mircea_popescu: now this is what i would like to see.
MisterE: I was sure aliens snatched it out of the air :)
MisterE: oh I believe that, Laos can be lawless
MisterE: I haven't travelled much in Laos there's not really much there heh
antephialtic: Vang Vieng is a party location. Went there when I was in college with a few friends. It's like heaven on earth
MisterE: antephialtic: thats how they pronounce it but proper spelling is Vientiane, I have been there several times for visas but can't say I enjoy the place
MisterE: I'm working on an idea to address that mircea_popescu
MisterE: I was in land use planning and commercial development permitting
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: "This means that the physical machine which hosts the trading engine is not accessible directlyii from the Internet." <<< so if i were to vpn a machine with a private gpg key and send data over the wire (via some computer) I would never have to worry about the keyring being compromised? Or is the most effective way to sign/encrypt/decrypt/verify data on an airgapped machine then marshall it over v
MisterE: I recommend everyone with a head on their shoulders gtfo of US now
MisterE: joecool: I might have told you once in the past heh
MisterE: I left the US 8-years ago and never looked back best thing I ever did
joecool: MisterE: of course, though I intend to eventually move out
asciilifeform: many years ago, as a freshly graduated kid, i worked in a dreadful salt mine where one of the products was a military bot based on a segway with the top part sawn off.
joecool: mircea_popescu: true story, I was actually stopped by a cop multiple times one day because I decided to walk to the next town instead of driving one day, he damanded to know my destination and I refused to provide him with it.
mircea_popescu: hahaha i did not know that
