BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: "I have
a suspicion that the entire scheme is vulnerable to Gödelization." << I like how you raised this in 2010 and the problem of this in Urbit has only grown...
BingoBoingo: The brother once tried making
a pear cider instead of
a beer with te standard industrial grain. It revealed the small off taste in his product for
a while was an enterococcous which could finally thrive on something other than shitty grain. He did not take my advice for cleansing his setup after that episode.
lobbes: just had
a yuengling at lunch - I like it as well
BingoBoingo: Especially all of the "craft beers" that are born the same place place as Busch lite, Coors, and Miller. It's also
a field where... Neigbhors producing fould products in the basement is increasing.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I was more thinking of grain products, like beer, bread, etc. Where
a rougher cheaper version of the same final product finds itself placed on the shelf as
a "premium" good.
mdev: so they used
a weaker alg to shorten the key length, does that mean if the alg they used gets compromised all addresses that have done transactions are vulnerable anyway?
mdev: if that alg is weak or they're not sure about its reliability why didn't they use
a more trustworthy one like RSA
benkay: hah that's
a good one asciilifeform
Naphex: i ment that if you use
a single bitcoin address
pankkake: though it is definitively
a weird idea
pankkake: Naphex: you could also do it like MP, with
a unique transaction amount
Naphex: also if you do
a lot of transactions and don't want to double spend you're going to have to use multiple addresses
mdev: the android bug was
a result of
a bad random number gen
benkay: we have
a sweet stack, pay pretty well, and don't expect to see people that often.
benkay: this is not actually
a problem i have.
cgcardona: i worked at Truila for
a while and was on the hiring team for the mobile engineering dept. They offered really good salaries, stock, medical, etc and it was still hard to find people in SF
benkay: promoted another lead myself, and had
a second fall into my lap via
a friend, so the pipeline is not empty either
benkay: well,
a deal closed and the wire cleared this week so i'm feeling particularly good about that
cgcardona: we were in
a small apartment at first but just got into something much nicer and cleaner this week w/ my own office. so this morning i'm particularly stoked :)
cgcardona: pretty good. My family moved from SF back to kauai about 2 months ago and we're finally in the groove. Working remotely w/
a team from the mainland. I'm very happy. thanks for asking. You?

mircea_popescu: point in case : i go into
a tiny shop to have
a pile of keys copied. guy starts working.
mircea_popescu: benkay, you realise the black marketr dollar is more of
a future than
a spot. i should already see this future collapse in the price today.
mircea_popescu: ;;google vreau sa-mi spui, frumoasa zaraza, cine te-
a iubit ; citi au plins, nebuni, dupa tine, si citi au murit.
mircea_popescu: anyway, in ro it's
a girl's name, disused since the 1930s.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ><< you familiar with how romanian twists russian words. it's like
a sort of trolling.
davout: btw she's now officially
a professionnal instructor
mircea_popescu: <fluffypony> one would think you either grandfather previous listings in, or have
a delisting process for them << you think too far ahead to be part of the kickstarter revolution
benkay: <mircea_popescu> davout: drinking aero-pressed espresso in
a mongodb mug << let me ruin your day for you. coffee in argentina ? comes PRE SWEET$ENED. and i don't even mean the bags. i mean the MOTHERFUCKING BEANS;. they sugar-cook them. << i only ever found 1 acceptable cup in bsas
xmj: as that one is most often
a no too, i ask how long their company is still funded.
xmj: benkay: it always yields
a "no", so my script is to ask if they have paying customers.
fluffypony: one would think you either grandfather previous listings in, or have
a delisting process for them
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: I don't have
a problem with the fees, I have
a problem with them suddenly deciding to charge the fees
fluffypony: BitcoinBourse want 2 BTC + 1 BTC
a month?
ThickAsThieves: some rhinos and such being at risk for inbreeding, they ship animals around the world, to and fro, to keep
a healthy mix
ThickAsThieves: davout, while she has no involvement, organizing inseminations happens to be
a large part of her employer's mission
davout: my first thought for "development" of
a wildlife development job was organizing inseminations
davout: ThickAsThieves: you got
a little leash slack ? :D
davout: "the wife can only do such
a trip once or twice
a year" <<< too much romance to handle?
ThickAsThieves: but i do like how this has opened up
a dynamic of me travelling alone if i feel like it
ThickAsThieves: i'll gladly put
a txt wherever the programmer suggests
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves, wouldnt it be better to have
a sourc ehardcoded which publishes
a txt manifest ?
fluffypony: the trip to BA will be
a 32-ish hour trip (including
a 3hr layover), thank heavens for business class
los_pantalones: i'm like
a child and just wandered into
a conversation
ThickAsThieves: takes
a weekend just to get back and forth to many places
los_pantalones: but
a quick weekend somewhere? can squeeze that in any time
fluffypony: los_pantalones: rough plans yes - can't really afford the time to do more than 2 overseas holidays
a year (business trips notwithstanding)
fluffypony: los_pantalones: we'll probably do
a US trip in July-ish 2016
fluffypony: and Frankfurt and Singapore and Oz and
a bunch of other places
ThickAsThieves: fluffypony, no updates,
a euro trip is also being discussed
kakobrekla: its not that. they have
a biz with you.
gribble: Error: "g" is not
a valid command.
Naphex: davout: im
a psql guy most of rhe time all is well
xmj: I hadn't logged in in more than
a year. Apparently the broker has to comply with
a few more KYC laws now.
xmj: My Broker requires me to accept
a notice of abandonment of Bank Secrecy in order to be able to trade US Futures.
mircea_popescu: i wonder if we'll see
a draghi hour. (named after "earth hour", where people supposedly don't use any energy for
a whole hour once
a year, the draghi hour is an hour where nobody buys anything whatsoever. it results from inflationary price shocks, supply side inflationary blockage and people being generally poor and justifiably hopeless)
mircea_popescu: anyway,
a negative interest rate opens the window for infinite inflation, which countries like italy or greece may actually see, however briefly.
mircea_popescu: "The attack can only be performed between
a vulnerable client *and* server." followed by "OpenSSL clients are vulnerable in all versions of OpenSSL." for great winj, and then "Servers are only known to be vulnerable in OpenSSL 1.0.1 and 1.0.2-beta1."
Apocalyptic: <wumpus> anyhow having to upgrade openssl because of critical vulnerabilities is starting to be
a monthly occurence // heh
xmj: should probably revisit my broker and sell
a few call options :p
xmj: davout: i had birthday yesterday. today it's
a coworker's. obviously we've been celebrating that.
davout: xmj: technically that's
a pair
gribble: Error: '-0,10' is not
a valid integer.
mircea_popescu: davout, lol. i would expect
a business in that situation to close, in general.
mircea_popescu: pankkake, im asking around too. seems
a bloodbath, plenty of trend followers bought on the upswing and are well panicked.
mircea_popescu:
A record high temperature of 52.8 °C (127.0 °F), was recorded at Campo Gallo, Santiago del Estero Province on October 16, 1936.
Apocalyptic: yeah, it's mainly
a Q/
A session from what I got
chetty: but
a lot of the trade in argentina is actually with china, they sell lots of soy to china
pankkake: because the us is also
a week away from default
mircea_popescu: so i have this first mystery on my hands. on one haqnd, the english language propaganda is screaming about how argentina is
a week away from default.
