dub: lets make a shorter list, whats not lame about it
mircea_popescu: on a log scale any two things are within an inch of each other.
cgcardona_: i see your point. on a log scale
mircea_popescu: if those two fit you're basically saying that anally inserting a pea and a horse's head is roughly similar.
mircea_popescu: it takes a minimally trained eye to notice gross unfitness in a log graph.
cgcardona_: thats a good slogan too
mircea_popescu: that's gonna be my slogan for a while.
mircea_popescu: cgcardona_ their job was easier, as they prolly hadn't invented the adversarial system either, so they could actually reach some sort of a decision.
mircea_popescu: that's what i fucking had in mind. im entirely unsure why i thought /log(x) is a homomorphism of a log scale, but anywa
cgcardona_: looks like thighs and a stomach leaning forward
mircea_popescu: there, we have a logo
artifexd: For science, here is cos(x) graphed against sin(x) on a log10 scale: http://i.imgur.com/IFbIx3C.png
cgcardona_: that's a kickstarter I'd fund ^
cgcardona_: ": dude fucking hell. if it were, call girl services, so you can eat your powerlunch on a naked arts major, it'd have made more sense." <-- epic

mircea_popescu: dude fucking hell. if it were, call girl services, so you can eat your powerlunch on a naked arts major, it'd have made more sense.

mircea_popescu: TestingUnoDosTre um... a la mtgox ?

TestingUnoDosTre: I'm thinking of making a bet along the lines of "bitstamp will issue a news statement that they are freezing bitcoin withdraws in the next 3 months." Thoughts, comments?
mircea_popescu: but w/e, heroku, has a paas platform people use.
mircea_popescu: then there's vircurex, tho that's probably a case of pebkac

cgcardona_: there's still quite a few boards out there.
cgcardona_: was hitting some bbs from telnet recently. it was a trip
thestringpuller: 22:23 <+cgcardona_> it's funny how IRC is **still** the best social network (forgive the term)i miss BBS; it got phased out when I was just a little one
mircea_popescu: TestingUnoDosTre true story : i was in the bank the other day, and they had these timberlake concert fliers. i picked one up and told my pa "doesn't this guy look just like a waiter ?". he did, dressed all up for the job, too.
mircea_popescu: just for your own education, take two random things, such i dunno... sin(x) and cos(x) then draw them on a log graph. see how splendidly they fit
cgcardona_: yes I'm glad I found this room MP. the bitcoin forum is the bottom of the barrel and reddit is mostly memes and flamewars as well. (though don't ge me wrong. I enjoy a good meme and/or flamewar)
mircea_popescu: cgcardona_ actually they're using every trick in the book. most any two natural curves will look "fitted" in a log 10 graph
TestingUnoDosTre: Actually, she is a huge Bieber fan, lock her in solitary and the world will be a better place
mircea_popescu: cgcardona_ seems more like a fitted graph than anything. where did they get the n ?
TestingUnoDosTre: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeYau6jH1eE this guy can make a living doing terrorist jokes, but when a little white girl does something retarded like sending a tweet claiming to be some foreigner the FBI gets involved

thestringpuller: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/22t5se/bitcoin_as_a_store_of_value_for_exactly_one_year/
gribble: mod6 was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 2 hours, 36 minutes, and 27 seconds ago: <mod6> Wonder if they would white-list me to a higher threshold for coins.
cgcardona_: as in 'this room isn't a room where anyone can talk about shoes. it's a room where shoe makers can talk about anything.' ?
mircea_popescu: or w/e, "a barrister"
mircea_popescu: cgcardona_ but technically it's like... "i'm in the club", as in, "i am a barber"
cgcardona_: the way I view it here is (per trilema) this is a room for professionals. we tie our identity to our gpg keys so there's accountability. Granted I've only been in the room a week so what do I know?
JorgePasada: bill acceptor is different so we need a diff case
JorgePasada: That reminds me, we should have a euro version of the ATM prototyped within 3 weeks
mircea_popescu: still 19% seems a push.
cgcardona_: no connection to the price. all based on speculation of the future value of a coin right?
kakobrekla: if i was a whore id be at 200+
asciilifeform: the only purpose of 'encode obvious payload in low colour bits' is as a university class demo. and for planting.
asciilifeform: stego that doesn't 'scream stego' is a whole art.
mircea_popescu: incidentally : gpg armored lends itself splendidly to stego : the payload byte is only a few bits
mircea_popescu: how would you test such a thing.
asciilifeform: but, if fact, the above would be a parsimonious explanation.
mircea_popescu: there was a secret special dept in teh fsb dedicated to exactly this.
mircea_popescu: that's for a long time been the lol of alltime.
asciilifeform: this is actually a very tame hypothesis. intel agencies traditionally plant dangles for their colleagues of other (not necessarily unfriendly) kingdoms. and, given the u.s. being a fractured empire, why not dangles for... their fellows.
asciilifeform: 'sheikh khalid goatfuckeiman encodes instructions for mujaheddeen in his sheep porn gifs.' - 'unfortunately, he doesn't. sometimes a sheep is only a sheep.' - 'let's see what we can do.'
mircea_popescu: imagine a start-up where the entire office did nothing but play minigolf all day.
asciilifeform: it's the business of traditional goons, e.g. fbi. intel is 'classy.' rather create a sinner by injecting packets.
mircea_popescu: more importantly, any intelligent people remaining have a lot of trouble continuing to do anything worthwhile in such an environment.
asciilifeform: the reason to bring this crapfest up - u.s. 'intelligence' apparatus has a number of purposes quite apart, and difficult to confuse for, intelligence.
asciilifeform: re: 'wreckers' - correct. since the entire raison d'etre of the u.s. security apparatus is now 'terrorism' - well, the fireman, absent a fire, buys a box of matches.
mircea_popescu: aren't these a bitch to properly discharge, have to handle the tube as itlaunches ?
mircea_popescu: wasn't it a 3 month training course to be cleared with those ?
bounce: oh lookit, a stealth compliment. still, looks like work. where's me overalls?
mircea_popescu: bounce easier for you to fake being 20 than for bona fide 20yos to fake having a brain
mircea_popescu: uh why do they want a rocket ?
bounce: hm. maybe I should try and fake this 20something for a bit then.
asciilifeform: the 'a) wanna buy strela? b) fuck off c) really, dontcha? b) ok sure c) off to jail' thing has been going so long that it doesn't even make national news every time now. ☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎
bounce: the us "justice" system appears to be a, waht was it, chumpatron with press gangs
asciilifeform: and before that, a steady stream of morons who paid for (fake) 'sterela' units
asciilifeform: a gaggle of idiots was prodded, by american police, into paying to have a (physically wildly implausible) x-ray cannon 'built'
bounce: not some shrewd 20something with a datafeed brokerage yet?
mircea_popescu: what the fuck is a radioactive death ray.
mod6: Wonder if they would white-list me to a higher threshold for coins.
mircea_popescu: "In 2013, two men from upstate New York were arrested after building a radioactive "death ray" device and plotting to use it against Muslims" ☟︎
mod6: ahh, im gonna write to them. my atc bot sends up http requests to get some json back so we can do things like: last_block, diff, etc. but from time to time, my host/ip seems to get tar-pitted. even for a low threshold.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform think strategically. 1. "you didn't know we knew, did you ? fail" vs 2. "you didn't know we knew, did you ? OR that a website was all ready to go. just how fucking inept are you, can't find a website, srsly ?"
mircea_popescu: the problem with the shadow fuhrer is that he couldn't conceivably find a reason to be bothered with actual holes.
asciilifeform: shadow führer decides that a certain pwnhole has outlived its useful life, decides to create a 'dangle' (i believe this is the english technical term for 'слив')
assbot: Need a nickname, joecool.
asciilifeform: as if there is such a thing as a kitchen with exactly one roach.
asciilifeform: a bit stale news, sorry. but i think it notable.
mircea_popescu: "Amazing: @Chase just cancelled my debit card because a merchant may or may not have been hacked. They didn't call. Won't tell me who."
mircea_popescu: a 3 is just as good as a pee to a blind bat
kanzure: gribble is a hater
gribble: Error: '0.000001' is not a valid integer.
kanzure: ouch: 14:45 <assbot> You need a better WOT rating. (level 2 with assbot >0)
AltcoinAce: but crpyto is a good market to be in right now
AltcoinAce: Im just a trader
