mircea_popescu: otherwise, she's a public woman :D
mircea_popescu: "a guy called from Citi" is ok, "Joe Doe called" is not.
mircea_popescu: ok, so here's the deal, you get 1 bitcent an hour for now, i'll prepay you 100 hours. as an extra, you start a blog, keep a log of your calls there. time, very short summary of conversation. no publicly identifiable info.
bounce: "bitcoin is mobile". if it's a problem can put sip service [in front|instead]
moiety: well, reception is what i do so i'm happy to do it for you. i don't make personall calls so i can keep records. im not sure how you feel about it being a mobile number?
mircea_popescu: moiety you;ll get a budget.
moiety: my number is disposable. only two people know it. what about call backs? i'm not in a position to call internationally
kakobrekla: mp, best to get a dedicated throwaway number for that
BigBitz: My Uncle Hookabooka Mookakook has left $40m in a fund.
mircea_popescu: moiety i do not want you to say anything specific. we'll publish your number, anyone calls with a question you answer to the best of your ability, as per your knowledge assimilated here.
bounce: here's a dollah, where's ma millionz?
BigBitz: I am a Nigerian Prince.
kakobrekla: so you can also call and go "read to me for a while"
bounce: can get a DID on a SIP for free, though the number will likely be spendy
bounce: OTOneH I've had that thought for ages, irc to voice, though voice to irc would perhaps be a bit of a challenge. also the plusvees. OTOtherH this made me realise I perhaps really shouldn't want to try and find out
mircea_popescu: moiety you got a phone number ?
jurov: yesterday i emaled to prospective investor (more politely) "i don't want to become a bridge between VC and people around MPEx, pls read my blog, otherwise you're in for cultural shock"
kakobrekla: re that ho and whatever exchange >> The application has been written from the ground up by our CEO over the course of 1.5 years of development effort. The frontend has been written in a combination of JQuery, HTML5, Twitter Bootstrap, PHP.
mircea_popescu: so many men trained to behave like women floating about. it's a sickening display.
bounce: oh I think we discussed globalcoinfx a while back, didn't we? the pattern rings a bell.
mircea_popescu: so your theory is i call up bill mills and ask "hey, you got a ho working there" and he says "sure" and i say a ok ?
kakobrekla: quite a butthurt for a ho.
ho_: thought this was a friendly chat
ho_: someone who is a svp at an investment bank, been in security for 15+ years, presented at black hat and def con runs greece's largest IT security conference, quoted in the press etc etc
Vexual: A or b
mircea_popescu: there's no "a"
ho_: ran a security consultancy a conference and most recently a svp at an investment bank
kakobrekla: it was a sarcastic question :\
kakobrekla: ok but do you have a CEO?
mircea_popescu: anyone got a link to nefario's presentation of his activia compliance ?
kakobrekla: its a hipster thing punkman
Vexual: Thabks a lot ascii
Vexual: Ive got a few
thestringpuller: you're a cat lady?
mircea_popescu: hey look at that, bbet starting to move a little.
moiety: he is on a quest but he doesn't know what the quest is apparently
mircea_popescu: what a giveaway, did you hear that ?
thestringpuller: moiety is a girl?
moiety: wow it /is/ a lemur... a really big one. mort still wins
kakobrekla: what a weird manul
Luke-Jr: but then we realised it'd be about as big a project as Bitcoin, so dropped it and went back to Bitcoin code ;P
Luke-Jr: jurov: actually, there was some discussion about a year ago on automating the Foundation's job(s)
kakobrekla: <Luke-Jr> if nobody tries, it won't happen for sure < theres a HUGE gap between that and "I SHOULD DO IT"
moiety: Luke-Jr: don't you think that's a rather ambitious plan for one man in a whole foundation, with no plan?
Luke-Jr: it was kinda a long shot anyway
kakobrekla: Luke-Jr you are a church going and foundation supporting [was a nominee]. both leaders of both organizations are child rapists and shill for the said. so fuck you.
Luke-Jr: moiety: I assure you, I've never raped anyone, much less a child.
moiety: well, i don't know you myself but i don't think he's a liar at all. unsure how else to answer that
kakobrekla: or is that a sexist question
pankkake: well, yes, a motherboard that isn't old as fuck!
kakobrekla: usually you cant turn off a pwm fan
kakobrekla: and even on the best pumps impellers have a tendency to get loud or broked
pankkake: re fans and dust, my cases with dust filters fare much better. not all air filters are equal, but my big case (lian li x2000f) is a dream. everything is kept cool, there are two lines of filtering and both can be cleaned without shutting down the computer
mircea_popescu: i kinda regret the guy didn't keep a blog. it'd be neat if one could link to where he says "gavin, you're too fucktarded to talk to, stop emailing me."
mircea_popescu: 12:15: BitPay proposes reputation as a solution, neat. Hearn says it’s a little known fact that Satoshi was working on a peer to peer market that consisted of a reputation system. He wonders what Bitcoin would have looked like if he has worked on it 6 more months.
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Guirk | Jan 7, 2010 ... A female who does think that defies any logic. Can also be complete stupidity. " That girl is such a GUIRK" "Stop acting like a GUIRK". by Edge ...
mircea_popescu: da fuck is a peen gui rker
mircea_popescu: princessnell: easier to entice a man who can do it for us << this is such nonsense, srsly.
mircea_popescu: bounce: so far the wimminz ceoz in bitcoinz ended up ded << being a ceo is hard.
asciilifeform: i don't give a damn if 'market has decided' that shit is edible. for so long as it remains physically possible to obtain food, i shall eat it - rather than shit
kakobrekla: im having hard time believing you would do a downgrade with a single socket , lets say xeon e3 1240 , cheap cpu.
asciilifeform: (found a couple with ecc but no explansion slots. does no good here.)
kakobrekla: " betas today top dog single core ?" < so thats a yes? also 'beats' instead of 'betas'
asciilifeform: ~1yr ago i thought about it, and couldn't even locate a vendor that supported mb with ECC.
kakobrekla: yeah but everything is a scam
asciilifeform: multicore is a scam
kakobrekla: dual socket? cant get enough cores on a single ?
asciilifeform: did. at least, to the limit (after a certain amount they start to bake)
asciilifeform: i just moved to a (small) house, from a flat, and it is amazingly quiet (no wall neighbors) - and, turns out, this just makes the cursed machine seem ever louder...
kakobrekla: i live in a town with 5k people, maybe even less. its quiet here.
BingoBoingo: Yeah. I'll just have to go for knowing it could be worse. They could be hosting a tractor pull.
asciilifeform: something looking vaguely like a ww1/ww2 sea mine
asciilifeform: my ideal is something like a 1mx1m copper hedgehog, with a few cavities for disks, mb, etc.
kakobrekla: well has to be at least a gigabit but yea
kakobrekla: for my line of work having a hdd on lan is about as good as having it in same b ox
asciilifeform: at any rate, moving the machine still requires a room to convert to a vacuum cleaner hell.
kakobrekla: eh i sentenced that like a fucktard
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: for the cost of 8TB of ssd (mult 2x again for 'RAID' - who would consider use of ssd sans mirror) you can almost hire a savant to remember bits for you.
kakobrekla: well its not really a terminal i just call it that.
asciilifeform: (i use 'sorbothane' bushings. but this is only a pill against blatant induced vibrations, not disk noise per se)
kakobrekla: yea, a working room :)
asciilifeform: the best pc silencer known to science, afaik, is... a cable duct, to adjacent room.
kakobrekla: hm yeah i have a silenced case.
asciilifeform: in desktop case muffles a bit.
asciilifeform: i still can't picture something i'd recognize as a solution, with fans present.
kakobrekla: or else i wouldnt have a box with 500eur worth of fans im never gonna use in my room
asciilifeform: but scarcely anyone gives a damn.
asciilifeform: it is eminently possible to build a computer which isn't also a vacuum cleaner.
asciilifeform: one day i will be tired of this, weld a tank shut, attach radiator, pour 'fluorinert.'
asciilifeform: so there'd have to be a fixed speed, sufficient for theoretical max load
asciilifeform: fans are a guaranteed headache, i can hear the air moving.
mircea_popescu: a
mircea_popescu: how are you going to make a mb w/o inductors.
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: i'd spend substantial money on a guaranteed-noiseless machine with modern specs
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: so i threw out about a dozen suits << how come ?
asciilifeform: i once saw a vendor ('zalman' ?) who offered a 50kg mega-hedgehog pc chassis. entirely fanless. machined to fit specific mb, etc.
mircea_popescu: just there's a 5 seconds pause of wtf
kakobrekla: ofc you need to clean the filter once in a while but much easier than cleaning the insides
kakobrekla: works like a charm
asciilifeform: helps to wheel the thing out on a balcony, prior.
