mircea_popescu: i don't.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves you know, if i wanted a larger harem i'd enlarge my harem.
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 well sure but i never heard of this working

Duffer1: from their perspective they might believe they are i mean
mircea_popescu: what do i get paid in, usg stock ?
ThickAsThieves: <dexX7> well, tat came up with the idea initially, if i remember correctly /// was a guess between me and Occam

dexX7: well, tat came up with the idea initially, if i remember correctly
mircea_popescu: nah i was not.
mircea_popescu: i'd have announced it if i was.
dexX7: "nah i won't tell" or "nah, i was not"?

Korbman: they were wondering if I held any shares of Dice on MPEx, who any PT operators were, and if I received payments (dividends)
nubbins`: i think she meant to say "that purports to be from our staff", but w/e
bitcoinpete: speaking of the fed, mircea_popescu, I've been looking for that line in the logs about the world having its Zimbabwe moment from 2010-2014 and not even knowing it. That's classic. Do you remember when it was or have a link?
Jere_Jones: I imagine that long before that could happen there would be some code added to ensure the coinbase adds up to the fees in order to prevent that.
mircea_popescu: i got nothin'!
mircea_popescu: well then i give
Jere_Jones: mircea_popescu I've looked at the code that calculates the max coinbase out and it does indeed calculate a subsidy of 0 for blocks 6930000 and greater. I can explain it line by line if you like.
mircea_popescu: what did i do nao
benkay: Apocalyptic: i'm a bit of a pariah among locals in bitcoin right now due to the glee i exhibited over the past 4 months in their demise. my only consolation is that the derps will turn over, as they do here. it just seems to be slower around here, mostly i think 'cause people lack any sort of hustle in these parts.
benkay: i soliloquized on the benefits of the gox coins ending up in the hands of humans who undertsand how coins work instead of gox' or their customers last night
mircea_popescu: i dunno that it "did" anything
asciilifeform: i recall reading that H.P. was sort of like mtgox
benkay: hey thestringpuller i found your new shoes
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller i just think it's pulpy.
mike_c: bitcoin is already there i guess
asciilifeform: i think that's close to the exact sum, in modern usd, that tolkien was paid for his books.
nubbins`: do they even have a product? i can't find it amongst all the SHARK TANK logos
pankkake: so you can remove it, I guess
nubbins`: anyway, pankkake might argue that i don't speak "french" at all
Apocalyptic: I speak 4
nubbins`: i'm canadian
bitcoinpete: I've got another article in the pipeline about patience
bitcoinpete: I'm not, I understand the implication I made
bitcoinpete: Maybe I didn't need to mention Neo… but it's been hyped enough of late. Makes the article seem up with the times.
kakobrekla: more than i ever produced.
mircea_popescu: ah i see not.
bitcoinpete: He read my last blog and left a comment because I mentioned Neo
bitcoinpete: now I understand why ThickAsThieves was asking about me...
mircea_popescu: that is the thing i was commenting about and doesn't show up in the log!
nubbins`: fyi, i'll be buttering you up for more stock warrants if i end up maintaining osx releases ;D
nubbins`: i know nothing of the internals involved there, tho
nubbins`: but when i run ./psclient from terminal, gui window opens up without the help of xquarts
nubbins`: x on osx is called xquartz (gets launched when i run gimp, inkscape, etc)
nubbins`: i'm not on x
nubbins`: meantime, i need to figure out why my keyboard input doesn't get redirected to the gui
nubbins`: pascale runs ubuntu, i might take a stab at it over the weekend
mike_c: luckily i control the database :)
jurov: yes i found some, killed few hours with no avail
nubbins`: i gave up compiling earlier versions, decided i had a vested interest in getting this to work, buckled down
nubbins`: this macbook has, i think, nvidia
mike_c: i tried a couple different versions of ati drivers but can't stop segfaulting either.
jurov: then i noticed cs shipped with eulora 0.0.1 links dorectly to ati proprietary driver
jurov: i just had enough
nubbins`: i think 2.1 is required
jurov: yes. gentoo does have cs 2.0 and it compiles, maybe sometime i'll research by what magic
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: TBF most of the trouble i had was related to osx-specific code
jurov: i tried both latest and the revision chetty gave me
nubbins`: i used 2.1 latest snapshot
jurov: so i embarked on compiling crystalstuff
jurov: i gave up
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: i'm not sure how tough it is to compile on linux
mircea_popescu: i didn't... you know, contribute intellectually.
mircea_popescu: apparently its a tougher nut to compile than i thought
mircea_popescu: Mircea Popescu @Mircea_Popescu · now @ChrisGurr Well I guess we can rehash this conversation once you meet a woman then.
mircea_popescu: Mircea Popescu @Mircea_Popescu · 31m @ChrisGurr @normative Sure, sure, but I think you see what I mean.
asciilifeform: i think their 'hopes' rest with the price tag
mircea_popescu: i guess.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well it doesn't do much, i have some epoxy solvent right here
asciilifeform: and if i recall, some current anti-personnel mines have the detonator and anti-handling device (gyro) 'potted' in the main charge.
asciilifeform: the Votrax voice synth that unix 'speak' utility was meant for, was, if i recall, potted
asciilifeform: it went out of style, as i understand - because it mostly just annoys people
mircea_popescu: i guess it'd have to be
asciilifeform: it is so i need a shoebox full of these phones, rather than 1 or 2, to extract whatever turd may be of interest therein.
mircea_popescu: i don't get it tho
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i mean either epoxy or seals, can these both work in any sense ? << depends on the exact sense wanted.
nubbins`: nah, i'm not being paid to dick with graphics, i'm being paid to print them
