HeySteve: Peter Todd had
a strong point against sidechains
cazalla: difficult to find
a good GP in Australia, the older doctors are few and far between but will allow you adequate time, the younger GP's are usually found in medical centres where the aim is to get you in and out ASAP to bulk bill medicare as much as possible
fluffypony: bitcoinpete:naturally, i prod further and his area of interests is sidechains because they "fix bitcoin's incentive problems" <- with that attitude he's well on his way to being part of the Bitcoin Foundation, maybe he should just apply for
a seat?
mircea_popescu: somehow
a country larger than the entire fucking cascadia can function on 1/10 to 1/100 of the us costs.

a doctor's office is in the 10 to 15k

mircea_popescu: someone's in business with
a partner known as... pissy ?!
mircea_popescu: "Office space alone can eat you alive. Between Pissy and I we have 2100 square feet. And we're paying $5100
a month for that. "
mircea_popescu: anyway, best make it
a full year, so wait
a few days to include apr too
mircea_popescu: HeySteve exactly. letting people know about how their lives depend on bitcoin-ability is
a charitable deed.
mircea_popescu: HeySteve it... is. it has been, for
a while. hence the serenissima.
mircea_popescu: HeySteve yes, there is such
a science. what do you think we're doing here.
HeySteve: <+mircea_popescu> "Without
a hierarchical structure it is not possible to transform freedom from
a fable into
a fact." <- there should be
a science of resilient hierarchical structures which resist corruption and decay. it should draw from historical fact, military tactics and decentralised methods. it should inform
a technocratic leadership.
mircea_popescu: this because for most of its life mpoe reported on
a "last week of month" period, and reports came in within hours of exercise closure, so it almost always was within the month.
gribble: scrat was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 24 weeks, 1 day, 11 hours, 20 minutes, and 46 seconds ago: <Scrat> im

mircea_popescu: ;;later tell decimation you left out the best part : "Without
a hierarchical structure it is not possible to transform freedom from
a fable into
a fact."
mircea_popescu: Instead, this week we found out the Most Transparent Administration in American History has implemented
a new anti-press policy that would make Richard Nixon blush. National intelligence director James Clapper, the man caught lying to Congress from an "unauthorized" leak by Snowden, issued
a directive to the employees of all 17 intelligence agencies barring all employees from any "unauthorized" contact with the pres
Naphex: “Asadar, s-
a rugat Sfantului Efrem cel Nou si
a facut de trei ori Semnul Sfintei Cruci peste computer. Spre marea sa uimire, nu numai ca

mircea_popescu: whoa iron dropped ? coal dropped ?! this is
a new one.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I've been flipping through the MPOE account statements for
a blog post on running
a profitable BTC business, is there
a cumulative count of dividends paid per share that you've published at any point?
mircea_popescu: 3.x btc ? getting to be pretty respectable for
a scamcoin.
bitcoinpete: "There’s
a very simple way to distinguish actual people from non-people. It’s not whether their grandmother was Jewish or their hair is curly, it’s not whether their skin tone is this or that shade of purple, it’s not even if they do well in school, suck cock rapturously, work hard, obey the laws, go to church, respect their elders, floss, whatever the hell else. None of that matters."

a perfect power ranger candidate. i hope he's cool being blue
bitcoinpete: does the guy of pgp/gpg? nope, "The PGP/GPG stuff has been on my list to figure out for
a few months, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I've only recently started caring (somewhat) about security since getting into Bitcoin."
bitcoinpete: so anyways i ask the guy what he doing in/with bitcoin and he says he "just left
a start-up and wants to be
a core dev"
bitcoinpete: "
A few years ago we did
a complete analysis of our entire network. Cyber engineers found out that the system is extremely safe and extremely secure on the way it's developed."
bitcoinpete: "And they're using really, really, really old computers. I saw
a floppy disc and not
a floppy disc that size. It was gigantic."
bitcoinpete: "the equipment is ancient. This, for example, is one of the computers that would receive
a launch order from the president. It uses floppy disks! The really old, big ones."
BingoBoingo: My favorite part is that with two pieces of wire and
a soldering iron you could convert the dopamine to methamphetamine
mod6: now there's
a shocker
BingoBoingo: Otherwise you can parse the logs for references to amounts and get
a rough idea of the size it started at.
mod6: the bot is
a work in progress, let me know if stuff needs to get added/subtracted/modified and I'll work on it.

decimation: asciilifeform: I assume you are an emacs fan; what IRC client do you like? I'm trying to follow the path to becoming
a competent emacs/lisp user
decimation: stupid chat client: Without
a hierarchical structure it is not possible to transform freedom from
a fable into
a fact. The liberal always discovers too late that the price of equality is the omnipotent state.
mod6: pankkake: so not sure why it died there. it didn't get back
a null result, or it would have spit out an error, but whatever it was, wasn't valid JSON. needs some debugging in there.
mod6: pankkake: you should start your bot back up. mine has
a bug somewhere, gotta debug it. haven't flexed that part of the code much yet.
mod6: hang on
a sec. I'll do that first.
mod6: ok. not
a big deal, need
a bit more time for that mp.
mircea_popescu: "It's lame in
a way you are more concerned about privacy of your "bank account" than creating and promoting growth and fostering
a close tight knit community. It's more important to you your MSC stake or "bank account" stays private than fostering closer tie with the community who allowed you to have this "bank account" in the first place."
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller anyway, i dropped them
a tweet, maybe they show up and impress.
mod6: ok, lemme hack in
a few changes. i'll leave this one connected for the time being.
mod6: It has
a random 1-1000 number on the end, I can make it just 'BitOTTer' though.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller "Kapil Bhatia Kapil Bhatia is in the digital banking industry in Qatar. " << that happens to be
a common name and also the name of some indian billionaire.
mod6: give me
