BingoBoingo: "BingoBoingo: we dont need proof of that" I will gawker is cancer. Just the formula writing with decent info here "http://gawker.com/after-30-years-of-silence-the-original-nsa-whistleblow-1454865018" compared to the absolute shit here "http://lifehacker.com/how-hard-is-it-to-switch-to-linux-1462916866" ought to make someone cry. Also I imagine Adrian Chen might have went Scheier.
BingoBoingo: Diablo-D3: I dunno, you are the one who pinted an ambiguous reply at me
BingoBoingo: I submit http://lifehacker.com/how-hard-is-it-to-switch-to-linux-1462916866 as anb example of how Gawker Media still sucks
BingoBoingo: Isn't Panama just AMAZING country? I mean Noriega?
Namworld: I infer the owner acquired himself through a Panama registration
Apocalyptic: you're right, somehow i thought it was way older
Apocalyptic: not really, depends on your definition of new I guess
Namworld: I'm strictly speaking of others than AM who didn't outright run.
Namworld: There might be a few more assets which I don't recall but kept paying
Diablo-D3: I cant think of anyone that didnt that isnt AM
Diablo-D3: kakobrekla: yet I made good on the investment either way.
Diablo-D3: anyhow, theres 2789 shares left, and theres 2424 shares held by 3 guys who seem to have all quit bitcoin and I cant contact
kakobrekla: yeah well i calculated you are full of shit
Diablo-D3: kakobrekla: I actually calculated roughly how much was put into DMC, we've paid back around 2x that
kakobrekla: so 2x is based on the all time low of 0? i get it nao
Namworld: I'd hope so about yochdog. But I don't see why people wouldn't be angry at me.
BingoBoingo: Diablo-D3: I thought you were a market maker handling both sides and offering quotes
Namworld: I just need to find how to finance 10000 BTC now. Also, treatment for the septic shock BingoBoingo provoked.
Diablo-D3: Namworld: I was trolling, dont get panties in a twist
Namworld: According to the way it was presented (group purchase), I'd say we were both scammed. But feel free to consider it otherwise.
Diablo-D3: Namworld: I dunno, you scammed me, and so did yochdog
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I didn't say the prose wasn't bad
asciilifeform: i asked a colleague recently, 'doesn't every boy dream of running his own kgb' and he looked at me 'funny.'
Vexual: no, i disklike creme brule
asciilifeform: i just like to imagine that the 1950s cia lives on, somewhere
mircea_popescu: i tell you, if cia were involved the only difference would be a ton of leaked "secret" documents
mircea_popescu: i hope that any future prosecutions of bitcoin include rock&roll caselaw.
mircea_popescu: i can't believe you dorks spent hours discussing fistifucing me.
nubbins`: i lel'd heartily the first time i heard the word "hollywood" used in that sense
nubbins`: "seriously guys, somebody cut me up a hollywood. i'm done with this shit"
BingoBoingo: I wonder how long until someone IPOs S.MPOE on SticktoCrypt
nubbins`: what i should do is roll a large "jazz cigarette" and walk to the bank
dub: I thought about that possiblity as I typed
nubbins`: given that i'm really just here to mess with the signal-to-noise ratio, i'd like to see the latter ☟︎
mircea_popescu: so i could write an article tit-led "normative heterosexuality for women, a guide" or else an article about good and bad uses of irc chans.
nubbins`: although on that tack, i'm a professional printer, not a professional artist ;)
Vexual: oh wait, i thought pro bono was something else
dub: technically the internet is for trolling and I get paid to internet
mircea_popescu: i think he may be a professional troll.
mircea_popescu: i have no idea how this guy can simultaneously believe in global warming but also understand subtle points about math and art.
nubbins`: i was chagringed to learn that the rest of the world takes "1+1=2" as an axiom
nubbins`: in my infinite wisdom, i decided that pure math would provide me with the best job prospects
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: That is because mathematics and statistics are different things, I've been told... At least by the mathematicians.
nubbins`: i used a z table, duh
nubbins`: i got my lowest non-fail mark in statistics, 56%
nubbins`: i then sent coingig a scathing email
nubbins`: i politely informed him that the listing was removed 3 months ago and coingig keeps resurrecting it against my wishes
nubbins`: okay, so the poor sap who tried to buy one of my casascius coins at below face value on coingig sent me a "how do i know this isn't a scam?!" message
BingoBoingo: Well, I mean I've been using the SE/30 for non-crypto maths as well.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I know, but the FPU helps when doing maths. One thing the SE/30 did well was run python.
nubbins`: and i just learned a new word
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: So it seems. I actually feel lucky this dinosaur includes a co processor for floating point math.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It seems like I might have to see if I can find the script that generates entropy from hookers and microphones from the trilema comments.
nubbins`: i wonder could like a game boy or nintendo DS or something generate gpg keys
nubbins`: too commonplace to trust, i guess
BingoBoingo: Fuck it, I'm just going to hit the off switch and read up on A/UX and see if there might be any way to build GPG on there.
Vexual: i just wanted to say mouses
BingoBoingo: I'll also try mashing the keyboard to generate some entropy
BingoBoingo: Thanks, I'll give it a try before looking into giving up on making an late 80's machine relevant again.
BingoBoingo: It might take up more room, but I'm considering giving one of these a go http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUN-Ultra-80-Server-Quad-450MHz-4GB-Memory-73GB-HD-/111200002029?pt=COMP_EN_Servers&hash=item19e4095fed
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Key generation is still continuing. Either the entropy is really good or it is relying too much on virtual memory to try to accomplish this which... I think defeats the purpose if there are going to be a bunch of hard drive writes of the process.
BingoBoingo: I think I might have to give up on creating a GPG keypair with the Mac SE/30
FUDdealer: i'm selling high impact fud. /query.. if you are satisfied with my proposal, you pay
pankkake: yeah, that's what I did at work. two 1080p rotated
pankkake: I want a 2560x1600 ideally… I crave vertical resolution :)
dexX7: i don't have the links
kakobrekla: not sure if i should get 2 or 3.
kakobrekla: not yet, i think its gonna take a while.
dub: I mean ROR
dub: don't recall specifics but I've had a look at some barracuda IP and my impression was 'run away'
benkay: "i don't derp computers but i saw ads in airport the other day and WE NEED THIS"
dub: I'm sure there is some kind of IQ bar you need to limbo under to become an IT manager
dub: I fucking hate IT people
nubbins`: and the third time i've logged into their piece of shit website and deleted all the products from my "selling" page
nubbins`: man, this is the THIRD fucking time i've received an email from coingig saying that i've got an order
jurov: i'm afraid all such persons are long gone
jurov: which outlet, i mean
ryanmckenzie: Good afternoon, I am doing an article on bitcoin millionaires and the potential to become wealthy of bitcoin in the future. Would anyone like to talk to me?
mircea_popescu: originally i thought it's cryptostocks
pankkake: ahah. I wonder what's their life expectancy
pankkake: no I don't pay much attention ;)
pankkake: perhaps. I never owned a car
Apocalyptic: I've seen it used by car companies for promotional buybacks, otherwise I don't know how thoroughly it's followed
pankkake: I've seen more problems with new cars than with older ones :p. at least you know the older one has eliminated the bigger defects
pankkake: I'm surprised by how fast cars supposedly drop value
pankkake: I've read parts of http://ferfal.blogspot.com/ - scary
mircea_popescu: jurov i suspect the us will fail like argentina, yeah.
jurov: i think it will end up more like in argentina, official rates faster and faster divorced from actual market ones
pankkake: then I could switch my system to track it directly in BTC
thestringpuller: i was talking about inflation with that pronoun it
pankkake: I have a feeling fiat inflation is going to explode sooner or later
pankkake: I'd like to have some sort of long term graph, in the sense that having bitcoin go up in value while the currencies it is tracked against lose value by themselves, is not that useful
pankkake: and gold, well. though I can use price feeds from people who trade physical gold, it follows the rest
mircea_popescu: thats what i'm saying, there's not been a better solution than pull a basket out of ass
pankkake: and I'm looking for something sexy like "how many pizzas is a bitcoin over time"
pankkake: yeah, I know those ones, but first of all the ratio is usually pullet out of someone's ass
pankkake: to be clearer, I'm looking for things with price feeds
pankkake: what kind of things could one use to measure inflation? there's the obvious gold, but I'm looking for other things, like pizzas, oil…?
davout: pankkake: let's discuss a couple targets, i needed a new door anyway
nubbins`: after hanging up and checking out their website, i realize they sell this obscure ink remover we've been trying to track down for weeks
