ThickAsThieves: we were like 8th on waiting list, which is basically
a shoe-in
mircea_popescu: they got
a similar system here but it dopesn't cover 2/3 of the cost, more like 1/3, and the red tape is beyond obnoxious.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves pretty sweet deal. i'd drop 15k on
a 10kW solar system.

a set of x509 certificates wh - Pastebin.com
mircea_popescu: Meanwhile, “pretty young things swarmed Warren as soon he walked through the doors, asking to have photos taken with him,” said one observer. “He graciously did it.
A few people asked him to open his wallet in the picture. Oddly enough, he did this too.” According to the onlooker, Buffett had “just
a few dollars in his wallet.” The source added, “He’s more popular than the Dalai Lama!”
ozbot: Warren Buffet ordered Dairy Queen,

a loud and obnoxious manner"
mircea_popescu: prostitution is , in the romanian legal tradition,
a part of the creating
a public disturbance/being
a bum area.
mircea_popescu: he's got nothing there, nobody ever granted
a cause for anything but the most outrageous streetwalking.
mircea_popescu: then, the next day, guy realises that the bird costs 2500 euro and besides, he had it since it was

a special relationship
mircea_popescu: this guy threw
a party, asked
a girl to sleep with him, she said she'll do it if he's "generous"
mircea_popescu: so romania has
a large lawyer's forum, where pretty much everyone that's not fucktarded in the profession has an account. think fuckedcompany, except for lawyers.
mircea_popescu: fucking losers these kids. if i were 20 and doing
a lulzy project like that, the russki'd be naked.
fluffypony: I think it's important for PDFs to have images that haven't been compressed or resampled, because you really want that small logo at the top left to be
a 2.5mb PNG
fluffypony: asciilifeform: yeah I know, but it's better than our dedicated box at
a DC here where I have to log
a fault and they send an engineer out to press enter on the keyboard because it's stuck at the grub screen
mircea_popescu: MrWDunne: Also the actual business plan is
a 25 page PDF << i like this part best so far.
moiety: believe me when i have anything worth showing i'll be begging you all to take
a tour :D (just be dont make me cry if im super proud!)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform from
a mathematical standpoint : the most important quality of markets is that you can't isolate participants.
fluffypony: moiety: is that for shared hosting or
a VPS?
moiety: when they opened up
a uk data centre, they gave too good
a deal. what i dont like is the hoops you have to jump through to get ssh access fluffypony
fluffypony: except for
a handful of domain hacks for TLDs they don't offer
fluffypony: moiety: I have
a VPS with them that runs an Electrum server, and then all my international (non-.co.za) domains are with them
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform trader experience is that any strategy that starts with "if you had
a lot of money" is
a loser.
fluffypony: moiety: yeah, until you need to manage
a domain, then you have the old interface iframe'd in to the Hipster Header
moiety: fluffypony: it now looks like
a hipster site of some sort
fluffypony: moiety: their old interface wasn't pretty, but I'm buying
a domain...I wouldn't mind an ncurses interface if it worked well
moiety: <fluffypony> coz that shit irks me more than NameCheap's new design << dude, glad it's not just me. i seriously thought i'd gone to the wrong place for

a fork)
jurov: it's
a "wiggle mouse here" kind?
fluffypony: oh I saw that - it's
a web wallet that you host yourself, because that seems like
a great idea
mircea_popescu: "To reward the work of the developers, Drake is “offering three bounties of 0.20 BTC each for anyone that finds and fixes (via pull request) any bugs/code issues that potentially cause wallet data loss,
a major security bug in the Coinpunk wallet code (coinpunk/models/wallet.js), bitcoinjs-lib, or in the random number generation code”."
mircea_popescu: "After scoring
a major grant awarded by the Bitcoin Foundation, Coinpunk’s beta version is finally available. The project, which is being developed by the veteran startup founder Kyle Drake, intends to build the first fully open-source, self-hosted do-it-yourself Bitcoin wallet service that you can run on your own server."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: Due in part to this process, we have been notified of
a security bug in bitcoinjs-lib (the bitcoin javascript library counterwallet uses) that was internally disclosed to us by the bitcoinjs-lib team yesterday evening. We worked with them on applying
a fix, which was made live late last night and this security notice was drafted pending confirmation from the team. However it appears the bug has already been exploited i
gribble: Error: "bc,tslb" is not
a valid command.
mircea_popescu: bs auth in-house giga scheme anyway, prolly more broken than
a 50yo whore.
fluffypony: "The underlying protocol seems to be VNC, but with
a different authentication scheme, making standard VNC clients useless. (Also it appears to be an OEM version of ATENs KVM/VNC stuff.)"
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: is there
a non-Java IPMI bios available for their boards?
gribble: nubbins` was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 week, 0 days, 14 hours, 18 minutes, and 33 seconds ago: <nubbins`> you will need it if you don't want to have to download
a client and python every time you boot

mircea_popescu: "44% of Americans are living with less than $5,887 in savings for

ThickAsThieves: "I realize that there are some companies playing in it, but you still have
a wallet in your back pocket and I do too which probably means it hasn’t been figured out just yet.” ~Tim Cook
ThickAsThieves: “I think it’s
a really interesting area," Cook said. "We have almost 800 million iTunes accounts and the majority of those have credit cards behind them. We already have people using Touch ID to buy things across our store, so it’s an area of interest to us. And it’s an area where nobody has figured it out yet.
mircea_popescu: i quote, "<chetty> well you be glad to hear we're finally back to active programing on eulora - but right now need to hit the store for weekend supplies of milk and coffee - back in
a bit"
benkay: what's the middle name in
a four name name? lol

a manul cutter yet -- epic job for
a 3D printer i reckon
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: before you move setup
a fake murder in the US, and then if they try extradite you you can just claim that the death penalty is
a possibility
mrwdunne: US doesn't have
a very good track record when it comes to human rights and terrorism. Their judgement was probably the correct one
fluffypony: "Mohamed,
a Tanzanian national, fled to South Africa after his involvement in the 1998 bombing of the US embassy in Dar-es-Salaam."
fluffypony: "This infringed Mohamed's rights to human dignity, to life, and not to be punished in
a cruel, inhuman or degrading manner. The Constitutional Court concluded that the handing over of Mohamed to the US government was unlawful"
fluffypony: looks like there's mutual extradition in place, but that they've refused to extradite before for
a guy that could possibly have received the death penalty
