mircea_popescu: it's hardly
a community and it definitely has no resources.
KRS-One: he is real dumb and needs me to get
a roofing license (take exams and shit) said I can make $100K/yr without doing
a thing just holding the license.
moiety: is it just me or does that lawyer dude look
a wee bit like simon cowel?
nubbins`: and he'll be taking orders from
a guy ten years his junior
KRS-One: he does the easy shit and runs
a crew
KRS-One: I have
a friend who is
a roofer who makes as much as an attorney and then some.
gesell1: mircea_popescu: at the moment there appears to be only
a few places to go. or only
a few lawyers persuing the issue
BingoBoingo: I dunno of any person in Illinois who while certified as
a plummer and holding
a JD would pratice law over practicing plumbing
mircea_popescu:
a noob lawyer with
a shitty jd and no connection is basically equally qualified as
a plumber.
nubbins`: where free =
a portion of your mortgage
nubbins`: sort of like
a mortgage advisor
gesell1: is there
a problem if I pursue mtgox from 3 different lawyers at once?
mircea_popescu: gesell1 yes, it usually helps if the lawyer putting together
a cas is smart.
nubbins`: copumpkin, generally it's less of
a good idea to update ios after new hardware comes out.
copumpkin: I have
a smartphone but I hate using it
MisterE: I'm in front of
a computer enough
mircea_popescu: but anyway, one day when i'm rich i'll splurge and get myself
a smartphone
copumpkin: I bet you're paying someone to type these messages right now, while someone else is giving you
a rusty trombone
mircea_popescu: so basically what, they scrape social media sites for snippets signed by x sig ?
a la gribble except spammier ?
copumpkin: ultimately, they're mostly
a fancier keyserver
copumpkin: so they have
a website that lets you link online profiles and
a command-line tool that talks to the site and calls gpg
copumpkin: as far as I can tell, their goals are: 1) provide
a standard mechanism to link online accounts in
a crpytographically secure way that doesn't require trust of their servers 2) make gpg more user-friendly
mircea_popescu: "I graduated cum laude with
a degree in philosophy from Brandeis University and received my J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School"
mircea_popescu: copumpkin "Keybase will be
a public directory of publicly auditable public keys. All paired, for convenience, with unique usernames."
Azelphur: I was
a plonker and bought gox debt
mircea_popescu: Azelphur you can freely trade mtgox debt for bitcoinica debt on
a 1:1 parity
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo does that page look as broken to you as it does to me or is it just
a case of "our designer made it look good in chrome"
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: what's your opinion on the whole gox thing, think they'll get back up after
a while? :P
nubbins`: it's too bad they're called that in english, because it's kind of
a rotten name for
a food
copumpkin: mircea_popescu: do you have some sort of defense against replay attacks on mpex btw? what if I send
a "sell X" command and someone sniffs it and sends it again?
BingoBoingo: What is it with people trying to do anything in Illinois and not realizing you have to buy whatever jurisdiction you want to operate in, either outright or as
a time-share
copumpkin: I'm sure that's
a huge surprise to you
mircea_popescu: talking about how it's
a "natural extension of their practice" and whatnot
nubbins`: best thing that ever happened to illinois was
a sufjan stevens album
mircea_popescu: they wanted to do the suit. it's clearly
a zerocost thing.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Still looking at the legal history of Illinois governors, being
a n00b and being pissed about Gox because he was too good for warnings makes his Derping rather inconsequential in the history of embarassing things about Illinois
mircea_popescu: copumpkin bentleys are divisible, so you should at least get
a few bentloshis.
mircea_popescu: copumpkin anyone with s.mpoe stock should afford
a bentley!
copumpkin: (goes to show how active
a user I am)
mircea_popescu: copumpkin mpex may be the only entity in bitcoin which has gone two years without sending
a single greatly informative and muchly important email blast.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Really the point of Ukraine as of now isn't the end political outcome, as far as that bet is concerned. It's determining how overtly "Black Ops" can happen in
a white people country before commandos have to have affiliations, because Geneva protocols and conventions and such.
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> as much as i'd like to move overseas to wield
a can of raid << lmao
BingoBoingo: moiety: Honestly if you want to open
a bar the best place to position your business in relation to me is one such that I am
a customer.
nubbins`: as much as i'd like to move overseas to wield
a can of raid
moiety: omg i have it all planned out, we could totally do
a bar. bingoboingo barman, asciilifeform doing the laser lights, nubbins` sorting pest control, bugpowder green flourescent protein glowsticks, benkay on music and mircea dancing girls!
copumpkin: I'm on
a different computer and found I didn't have it in my list
moiety: i thought it be ok because they were small things BingoBoingo btw there is people opening
a dog cafe and
a cat cafe in london. edinburgh seems to have none.....
BingoBoingo: moiety: I though we touched on that problem when you presented the plan. Stamping metal with
a hammer is tiring work
MisterE: or is that
a scouser thing?
BingoBoingo: moiety: Yeah, much better than
a decision where you have to stamp every product and in the process look like Rosie the Riveter. Being Bitcoin's source for Scottish shit sounds like something worth trying.
moiety: BingoBoingo: i decided what to do with my btc domain. im making
a scottish item shop. not giving up on my stamping plan though
nubbins`: there's
a dick surgery song where it's discussed that the details are also in the pudding
nubbins`: there were
a few big legionnaires outbreaks in canada the past couple years
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: There's quite
a few other nastier diseases than lyme. Lyme just gets the press because pseudo-medicine makes better news.
moiety: no i can't see them migrating like geese their way door-to-door down
a street though
moiety: not
a building they cannot
moiety: nubbins`: bed bugs
a) have nothing to do with the hygiene of
a place and b) can hop to the house next door
nubbins`: generally people don't have to wait in the cold for an hour to get
a limo, though
HeySteve: <nubbins`> ^ this guy cut
a man's head off on
a greyhound bus < I would be cranky too if I had to use public transport
nubbins`: burn down
a church? here's
a synthesizer!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i guess
a guy's gotta have goals in life.
nubbins`: ^ this guy cut
a man's head off on
a greyhound bus
nubbins`: animals don't just want
a prescription for ritalin
mircea_popescu: i vividly recall this discussion between
a veterinarian and
a inner city md
nubbins`: the only clues are
a succession of stained mattresses and couches left on the sidewalk over
a period of several weeks
nubbins`: alternately:
a house gets bedbugs. the tenants fumigate at great expense. the bedbugs come back from the house next door. repeat ad infinitum.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Indeed. SHit happend in spring. Then calms during the summer when schoolkids have too much time,
a bit of drama happens in the fall, there is
a bit of winter buildup, then SPRING
nubbins`: so
a house gets bedbugs. the landlord fumigates at great expense. the dirtbags infest the place again. repeat ad infinitum.
nubbins`: (incidentally, this is
a provincial, not
a federal, thing)
nubbins`: had
a good lel at that after i calmed down
nubbins`: halfway through the conversation he interrupts me with "what are you telling me for?", followed by
a toilet flushing
Duffer1: I mostly specify this as
a parting fuck you broadside to the MtGox troop of idiots, who thought that perhaps if they re-do the original MtGox “hack” I may have trouble. It’s cute, I guess, in the sense of
a bunch of ducks trying to work together to provoke waves that’ll sink
a neighbouring battleship.
nubbins`:
a slum landlord owns maybe half of the houses on my street
nubbins`: and with
a name like that, how could it not!
nubbins`: the lel being that EFNet (eris-free network) got its name after its predecessor network delinked
a server called irc.eris.<tld>
HeySteve: discordia is
a dark tower thing isn't it? what's that to do with EFNet?
nubbins`: so after
a quick google search led me to the wikipedia page about discordia, the story behind EFNet's name is suddenly funnier
moiety: asciilifeform! did you see the molten metal 3D printer robot? and the one that can print
a house in 24 hours? 3D printers aren't as good as lasers but they are still cool.
nubbins`: i had to buy
a spindle of cd-rs. felt really weird.
nubbins`: so i dropped my rpm challenge CDs off today at the record store, and they gave me
a coupon for 15% off my next purchase!
moiety: aside from google image search, is there anything that i can search for
a picture being wrongly used?
nubbins`: the shitter bought me
a bag of potato chips and two cookies as an apology yesterday ;(
moiety: why does gox even still have
a value for btcusd?
kakobrekla: nubbins` how else would it have been
a ponzi
