mircea_popescu: hey. i guess that finally makes me baby jesus on
a stick ?
mircea_popescu: "Unlike competing Polish, Russian, Hungarian or Romanian nationalisms in late imperial Austria, imperial Russia, interwar Poland and Romania, Ukrainian nationalism did not include antisemitism as
a core aspect of its program and saw Russians as well as Poles as the chief enemy with Jews playing
a secondary role." lmao.
mircea_popescu: and inasmuch as this is the case, which exact label one picks serves as
a group identification. if you use the russian propaganda terminology you basically are throwing up
a flag and little more.
mircea_popescu: it's like telling me you could have
a grandee armee in coventry.
mircea_popescu: no, as i say. it can't be
a proper nazi party for as long as it seriously contemplates accepting any ukrainian national in its ranks.
mircea_popescu: for instance,
a rejection of ukrainians as lower stock ?
mircea_popescu: as far as i recall the nazis raped ukraine pretty good, the notion someone there actually is much of
a nazi is ridicxulous on its face to begin with.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "in refusing to acquiesce to the installation of
a neo-fascist regime in Kiev"
blackwhite: thanks. I was considering getting
a proper solution. I will look into conformal. My strength is in design (I can code but I am primarily
a designer)
mircea_popescu: but if you're
a minimum effort sort of guy even
a bitcoind can work, you can directly query it from any software stack. python, php, whatever you run
mircea_popescu: blackwhite what is "
a site based on bitcoin data" mean ?
bloctoc: futures, still right? I was trying to think of
a way to play the 30/1000 odds on this bet, but then got distracted.
ninjashogun: so, the doge financier person's loan fell through. what
a waste of several weeks of exchanges with him.
bloctoc: Warren Buffet doesn't want to end up with 1,000 sub $650 Bitcoins. Is there
a place to borrow 1000 BTC? Assuming his WOT is legit?
benkay: or whatever the equivalent term for
a bitcoin wallet operator is?
benkay: hey, assettes: how would you phrase
a bitbet to revolve on Blockchain's solvency?
ozbot: Interacting with fiat institution,
a guide pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
benkay: today
a project manager spinning up
a new frontend contractor asked "hey how do we import this vm into vagrant without smashing the frontend dev's existing precise64 image?"
bitcoinpete: i'm off for
a bit of sport, then book clubbin' (antifragile, somehow people haven't read it) cheers
bitcoinpete: benkay: what can i say? it was
a great quote. and one that i would've vehemently opposed 3 months ago.
bitcoinpete: benkay: ya, they definitely made
a fuss and not much else. glyph's whole implementation lacks appeal. "Drop me
a line at horse-moon-cloverleaf" doesn't reach catch people
benkay: glyph is classic fartup circus nonsense. apple's taken
a firm stance on bitcoin+iOS, and Glyph doesn't have the horsepower to fight them. note: social media noise != canonry.
benkay: i demonstrated this to the team accidentally
a few months back, when logging into the web console to see messages we sent each other from our phones.
benkay: bitcoinpete: finally, glyph is
a scam. they store your messages in plaintext on their servers.
assbot: I don't give
a shit who saw what and who did what or who did who.
Neil: I don't think we'll ever see
a 25% (perhaps even 20%) difficulty rise again.
Neil: cazalla: I tend to agree it'll be above 10%, but not
a lot above
kakobrekla: fuck this life, for one night you dont suck
a dick and suddenly you are not
a hoe anymore.
benkay: you could ask someone to broker
a transaction for you
benkay: yeah you buy
a shitton of mpoe at 80k
LordPutin: anyone have
a squawker box link they listen to for real world financial markets?
bitmia: I'm enjoying myself
a lot when I buy or sell for Bitcoin. means I'm dumb?
bitmia: does everyone here agree that bitcoin cannot be
a consumer technology? want to get this straight
benkay: how many on the welfare roles own
a single troy oz?
benkay: because bitcoin isn't
a consumer technology.
benkay: yeah but thestringpuller don't you understand bitmia_'s customers can barely swing
a bitcent ;)
bitmia_: if only it took less time than
a week
bitmia_: hm, what about
a browser extension to include the wot (proxied over to gribble) and the escrow thing?
benkay: electrum's still
a thing, right thestringpuller?
benkay: you must have
a reading problem.
benkay:
a bitcoin wallet under user control would suffice
benkay: but if they have
a bitcoin wallet, they can sign
a thing.
davout: Mats_cd03: e-mails containing
a wallet backup ending in .jar
benkay: if i were building that thing (and i'm not, and we haven't even discussed the market use for such
a thing in the wake of the other ebay clones that have failed), i'd make it
a hard requirement for sellers to have WoT identities.
benkay: probably
a non-starter around here without that.
bitmia: both as
a seller and
a buyer
bitmia: benkay, and what are the hard necessary things in
a marketplace?
benkay: inability or unwillingness to do the hard things necessary to raise personal value above
a single dollar.
bitmia: benkay, I was doing
a marketplace, remember? how the fuck am I supposed to have individual clients with
a lifetime value of 500B?
benkay: is there room in
a given business model for serving both?
benkay: this is
a matter of personal preference, obviously.
benkay: would we rather
a billion pennies from
a billion paupers, or individual clients with lifetime value to the firm in excess of 500B each?
chetty: but as
a buyer I dont really want my crypto too easy
bitmia: benkay: you'd certainly want that if you were
a seller
HeySteve2: only, here is another thing that is rare in
a woman
Mats_cd03: blackwhite: what an irritating sense of entitlement. have
a nice day
only: nubbins`: writing like she does is
a rare thing for
a woman
nubbins`: the whole "is pr fake?
a woman? mp?" thing is pretty entertaining
only: is she really
a girl?
ozbot: The Whet |
a place for appetites
nubbins`: blackwhite_: if i've frustrated you enough to make you waste your own time rather than someone else's when you next have
a question, i've done my job
artifexd: There is
a whole section on "Before you ask" though...
blackwhite_: nubbins` i got my answers. See not everyone feels like they need to make
a statement every time. Someone you know just like to help and make no fuzz about it.
artifexd: nubbins` Interestingly, that link says that IRC is
a good first place to ask.
blackwhite_: anyway I got
a couple of good leads that I hadn't already heard about.
nubbins`: i could just google "bulk deli meat <my area>" but figured i'd spend 10 minutes wasting the time of
a bunch of strangers instead
chetty: well maybe if you had asked, hey guys, what do you think of X as
a data soirce ... just sayin
nubbins`: just
a downer when people pop in here asking others to do their basic research for them
nubbins`: ...then you're not ready to run
a business of any sort
nubbins`: if your first instinct is to pop on irc and ask someone rather than do
a simple google search which would have already given you answers...
blackwhite_: i am asking in this channel because there are
a lot of knowledgeable people here
nubbins`: "hey guys i'd like to open
a sandwich shop, is there any place i can buy deli meats in bulk?"
☟︎ punkman: blackwhite_, retrofitting whatever you are buying is gonna be
a hassle
Mats_cd03: or hire
a few programmers that know their shit and build your own brand, what do you need
a trading website for?
blackwhite_: ok guys I have
a question. I am considering buying
a trading website and turning it into
a site based on bitcoin data instead. Is there any good sources for realtime bitcoin data?
benkay: bitmia: if you're trying to make
a crypto-related thing less of
a hassle, you're undermining the point of crypto-things.
BingoBoingo: If there was
a conjunction is this language that functioned as
a one way or such that [(
A&B) or B] I would have use it instead
