fluffypony: but they're basically just drinking
a lot of Red Bull and writing some shitty PoC code
xmj: moiety: it's
a PR gag. Hackathon is
a collusion of Hack and Marathon. Hackation, with one letter changed, of Hack and Vacation.
pankkake: ;;later tell mircea_popescu your feed doesn't seem to update in real time, blogs.b-
a often lags behind. otherwise the irker script has
a really simple algorithm, it publishes any unseen URL, so I'd be surprised there's
a bug there
moiety: o i c, what does
a hackation entail?
xmj: I'm doing
a short two-nights hackation.
moiety: I have been on 0 business trips. I used to work in
a hospital lol
xmj: moiety: I agree. It's
a lifestyle.
nubbins`: oh hey, the price of bitcoin is
a little bit higher than the last time i checked it
moiety: xmj: is that
a picture you took on imgur linked above? 4h on the beach in one day isn't
a bad business trip at all
xmj: moiety: I work in an IT company, which is
a great source of enjoyment
nubbins`: i came across
a test scrap today and realized that i spelled the word "redeem" wrong on every single one

a lifestyle

http://gribble.sourceforge.net/ xmj: give me
a howto for gribble and I will.
xmj: moiety: being
a member of the Ports committers team, for one
benkay: it's going to be
a boring month, xmj - the charismatic sociopath at the center of -assets just got on
a boat to move himself across the world.
moiety: if you need anything, just give me
a shout
benkay: well you see it's not
a computer
benkay: there's
a really steep and long learning curve in the combudder industry, moiety.
moiety: benkay: re defon, maybe so but regardless, i've still learned
a fair bit from the videos i've seen.*
moiety: nubbins`: re defon, maybe so but regardless, i've still learned
a fair bit fromthe videos i've seen. also nice pics!
benkay: or, as I said to
a client this week "bitcoin doesn't have
a purpose or an intent or
a role. it simply is, and i am doing my damndest to get in front of where the world will be as
a result in twenty years."
benkay: <asciilifeform> whotehfuckcares about yet another pwnhole in turdroid // well yeah - it's not an educational thing for the attendees, it's
a promotional thing for the speakers.
mircea_popescu: princessnell: economies are aggregations of human actions << and in that they become unhuman. basically
a major point of that article is that this desperate clutching at straws, people trying to retain their people-relevance in economics is
a little lulzy. there's no room for politics in economy.
mircea_popescu: princessnell: i think it's bizarre to call it non-teleological personally << this opens up
a large debate as to whether life has purpose. i happen to hold that it doesnt, which informs the choice of vocabulary. it'll have to be translated (apolitic ?) to avoid linking that dependency in there.
mircea_popescu: jurov: extract more absolute observations <<
a fool's errand << quite true, but also all of humanities is exactly this fool's errand. human condition, what.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves: i want to make sure i'm not inventing ideas someone else has already << the problem here is that you're looking at reading by the bookshelf, not by the book. there's an immense load and no directly obvious way to even systematize it. hayek tho may be
a good start if you've not read him fully.
mircea_popescu: it's
a case of "definitely reality is like our experience, because totally civilisaiton looks like it could have been built by people sitting in starbucks"
mircea_popescu: most likely scenario, you'd just have
a "myserious belgian buyer" soaking up 300% of Belgium's GDP each month and that'll be that
ThickAsThieves: i'd wear an altcoin tshirt, but i dunno if i could handle wearing
a bitcoin one
assbot: Bitcoin Mining Rigs 3: Mine Hard With
a Vengeance - Buttcoin - The P2P crypto-currency for butts. - Buttcoin - It's Bitcoins with Butts! - Buttcoin.org
mircea_popescu: pankkake: yeah, it is both
a stupid intention, and an impossible goal asciilifeform Apocalyptic
a dumbass core dev team is like
a blessing of suck for
a coin. not necessarily
a good reason to discard the coin, definitely not
a good reason to invest in it.
mircea_popescu: had
a discussion with gmaxwell
a few days ago about ring signatures, and he agrees that it could be done in
a kludgy way in BTC, but it's an unlikely thing to happen, so Monero will possibly carve out
a nice niche among the darknet markets crowd << that's exactly right, it could perhaps be implemented but if it is it'll be
a private extension.
moiety: I haven't. we have those shops here too. there was one in my home town that did actually close and i think the town was in shock for about
a week
mircea_popescu: chetty: nothing wrong with that, but I always thought bitcoin was
a she << i think that's the traditional view. Bitcoinia!
benkay: drained the testes
a few times, oversaw the wallpapering of lady v's office, wrestled with the dog...
moiety: like sleeping or dinner or painting
a fence, then watching it dry?
moiety: that would just be
a regular manul, mine would be more polite, i would bribe it with catnip
mircea_popescu: benkay, maybe. tho how do oyu know it's
a bull market in the first place ?
benkay: i figure right at the beginning of
a bull market is
a good time to do these things again
moiety: i would like to hear
a call between manul and dog. "yes, this is dog" "fuck you dog" "kden, bai manul" "fuck you dog"
benkay: ;;later tell bitcoinpete you hear that? everyone knows you're
a pothead...
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves, have
a zinc pill before oyu leave next time

a 20% discount on the fish.

a secretary?
BingoBoingo: bitcoinpete: In the class where we read the ethics I had
a sheet for each chapter.
bitcoinpete: BingoBoingo: i could see
a posterboard being useful.
BingoBoingo: Also for Spinoza the posterboard as note taking surface is
a serious suggestion. You are going to want
a large surface to map out the relations of things in the text.
joecool: currently switched to
a Z10 for
a daily phone because it actually works and the UI is
a bit like harmattan on the N9 was
joecool: i have
