MisterE: backed up by a stack of IOUs
herbijudlestoids: MisterE: hell or not i dunno...we are just talking about the obligations of the US Government otherwise called a dollar.
BingoBoingo: moiety: Study the board. You are down three pawns. I'm going to the garage to smoke a cigarette. Use these 5-7 minutes to come up with a plan.
herbijudlestoids: just like putting a freeze on banker salaries does not stop certain banks from being giant black holes for capital
MisterE: but we can all tighten our belts and balance our checkbooks if there is a real desire
BingoBoingo: moiety: I'll post a pic
bloctoc: just trying to find out if it's the real deal. I like the fact that certain operations get more hard coded over time and high use. It sounds a lot like how neural pathways get created. Other than that, it's pretty much the same group of folks evangelizing today that were evangelizing ripple last year.
herbijudlestoids: you said the US sends $50bn a year to israel.
moiety: i haven't really noticed assbot, i saw an ozbot.. and i like gribble a lot!
MisterE: but thats a lot lower than I expected where are you getting numbers from?
herbijudlestoids: MisterE: a lot probably. $3bn is huge in meatspace. dunno if you heard about this http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/nov/12/occupy-wall-street-activists-15m-personal-debt (just 15mn)
MisterE: what they couldn't do is make the cuts they should / need to make because it would put a bunch of peopl eout of work
moiety: damnit i thought i stole a manny there
moiety: huh, i have a space
herbijudlestoids: MisterE: lol debt ceiling is a joke, right? considering QE to the tune of 80bn/month atm?
MisterE: so they begrudgingly passed a debt ceiling bill
BingoBoingo: bitcoinpete: Maybe try a different client?
moiety: i'm saving for trilema, i haven't wanted a subscription before
moiety: well thats a win in my book herbi! :D
bitcoinpete: This is a truly fascinating corner of the net
bitcoinpete: I quite like that there's a chess game going on. Haven't noticed one before when reading the logs
BingoBoingo: moiety: The piece you should have on c1 is a Bishop
moiety: you are such a good hostess after a few vodkas
BingoBoingo: bitcoinpete: Then smoke a bowl with nubbins' and relax
BingoBoingo: bitcoinpete: How many dicks could a dickchuck suck if a dickchuck could suck dick?
BingoBoingo: moiety: Well, get caught up on a board or board like website.
moiety: bingo but i thought castles could only move to the corners, you dont have a free corner
mircea_popescu: Work on the Diaspora software began in May 2010. Finn Brunton, a teacher and digital media researcher at New York University, described their method as "a return of the classic geek means of production: pizza and ramen and guys sleeping under the desks because it is something that it is really exciting and challenging." A developer preview was released on September 15 and received criticism for various security bugs
moiety: i have that effect a lot
moiety: ive never played without a board, im sorry
moiety: and a chess site
BingoBoingo: moiety: I though you had a gif or soemthing
BingoBoingo: ANd he's an aussie. I gues Crocodile dundee was a myth
moiety: it's ok, play with herbi, it will be a bettergame
BingoBoingo: Cause I'm fly like a g6
nubbins`: ^ heh, a challenger approaches!
herbijudlestoids: if he spends an hour writing a response to my complaints its an hour he cant spend otherwise
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform or even a "for i 0 to process count do launch this process"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: tricky to forkbomb where you haven't a 'fork'!
asciilifeform: asics make it hard to flee to a new workfunction if the old one is somehow borked.
asciilifeform: (vizier promises to put one grain on a square, two on the next, four...)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform either that or a fellow lieing about the eventual volume
asciilifeform: that must be one fellow who never read the chessboard-rice tale as a boy.
asciilifeform: beautiful. now all they need is a media loudspeaker
moiety: i'm the colour of milk naturally. ok, give me a sec, gonna have to find a board to see
asciilifeform: "Bitcoin interests me as an obvious example of a technological jewel tossed around aimlessly by the brutal hands of cave men. I can’t help but picture a flashlight or a radio set, left behind in the wilderness by geologists, to be picked up later by some Stone Age aboriginals; to be fought over and worshiped. Until the batteries run out. But the batteries have not yet run out!" -- old turd of mine
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> the essence is, some people have a fundamental but unspoken disagreement with the basic premise behind mining. <<< exactly.
asciilifeform: the essence is, some people have a fundamental but unspoken disagreement with the basic premise behind mining.
mircea_popescu: "Now that Bitcoin computational power is handled almost entirely by large data centers, the currency has rapidly changed from a distributed, decentralized currency, to one that is much more centralized and vulnerable. Companies such as Cex.io are routinely hitting 40% PoW computational power on a daily basis, and will soon be able to perform 51% attacks at will, if they so choose."
mircea_popescu: i've not understood it a year and a half later.
moiety: unless its on a crackhead
moiety: you're always drunk. you'll get a quick win!
herbijudlestoids: i really dont understand what everyone seems to think the value of ASIC proofing a network is
asciilifeform: i'll take a raincheck. about to fall asleep.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: can you play me and moiety in a simul or how do we split this demand?
asciilifeform: can't guarantee a loss
BingoBoingo: I could use a loss
BingoBoingo: moiety: BSD isn't too different. If you take that route O'Reilley has a minature verion of their sysadmin essentials book which would be valuable.
coingenuity: mircea_popescu: there's a lot of them
BingoBoingo: moiety: If that is the case just skip linux and go to a BSD or Gentoo
mike_c: benkay: yes, i just don't think a reference implementation counts as well defined. so TCP_KEEPALIVE is set to 100. why? was that picked intellignetly, randomly, or it doesn't really fking matter? you don't know from implementation.
mircea_popescu: ctrl-alt-tit should be a shocker then.
mircea_popescu: moiety you know... you can open a new cmd window
benkay: moiety: why not spin up a new cmd window?
coingenuity: BingoBoingo: mexico is all fucked up, libertads are a pain to get
benkay: mike_c: using and extending the protocol is a non-starter right now. first we need a rock-solid, well-defined thing.
BingoBoingo: coingenuity: Can you get a quote on 10 oz libertads to retile my bathroom yet?>
KRS-One: I could put my dick out there and gt a few bucks for it
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: There'a actually barely anything on the book preventing 10,000 satoshis as well though
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids listen, a 5k satoshi tx is like... impossible to even propagate.
mike_c: s.nsa went cheap today. somebody got a great deal.
herbijudlestoids: i couldve just taken a no :)
herbijudlestoids: so the answer is no. nobody is willing to purchase a small amount of ATC off me for the purpose of establishing my trust on WoT
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I didn't think anyone on this channel was a virgin
herbijudlestoids: BingoBoingo: and how the f am i supposed to sell other shit on -otc without a WoT rating?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo he's not a virgin, so there's the end of that.
mircea_popescu: 56 ?! cmon, i can't make a tx that small.
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: And we are talking pricing. Unless you do like the candy shop and package the atc with a teddy bear, there is no room for a premium to be demanded.
benkay: mike_c: are you satisfied with <asciilifeform> the only truly unambiguous definition of a computation is the
herbijudlestoids: not really looking for anything except as a mechanism to get into WoT usefully
herbijudlestoids: would any of you sirs be interested in purchasing a small amount of ATC off me, for the sole purpose of increasing my WoT rating from 0?
BingoBoingo: Ok, anyone who isn't a scaredy cat OZ pussy interest in playing/
herbijudlestoids: i have a friend who may be interested, he loves teh chezz, online etc...dunno about text based but i assume he would be into it
herbijudlestoids: BingoBoingo: sorry dude i am just recovering from some illness and about to go full pelt into a bunch of work related things as we are growing rapidly now...you want someone with more free time :)
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: No. You just said you play poorly so taking you at face value I want to know if you have a stronger color, which might make the game more interesting.
pankkake: herbijudlestoids: that seems like a typical BingoBoingo trick yes
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Davout is also been asking if he can get a late entry into the round robin.
herbijudlestoids: BingoBoingo: not particularly...is this one of those trick questions where you psychologically evluate my expertise as a player with a simple one liner?
BingoBoingo: herbijudlestoids: Do you have a favored color?
BingoBoingo: Twas on the night I almost finished a handle of Vodka
herbijudlestoids: BingoBoingo: been a while with algebraic notation but moderately confident i could pick it up quickly enough for such purpose
herbijudlestoids: from a development perspective? as in unusable to modify/update the code?
mircea_popescu: herbijudlestoids the original stuff was poorly written by one unexperienced coder with a lot of system design experience.
herbijudlestoids: i was under the impression that the existing implmentation was pretty well coded (at least from a security perspective) but it seems like most on here disagree
herbijudlestoids: http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/how-the-cia-turned-american-literature-into-a-content-farm
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Slimmest turd is a different contest. That is easily solved through copious amunts of magnesium citrate and not allowing turds to leave solution in water.
mircea_popescu: mike_c buncha teams are presenting offers to build a brige. they all start from both sides. one team has laser sensors and whatever, the 2nd satellite and whatnot
asciilifeform: birthing a parsimonious implementation of something (i.e. one that can actually be understood) is not necessarily the same as the student pissing contest of 'write the shortest hello world for ms-dos in asm'
mircea_popescu: mike_c i suspect the code only came because the response to the paper was a particular brand of retarded.
asciilifeform: we've got the robot. with a warehouse's worth of extraneous junk welded to it.
