truff1es: only because of ur content i make that point
mjr___: though i may be a bit more academically rigorous in the futuer
mjr___: truff1es: i think i'll edit the formatting on the copy and pasted parts...i'll see if there is a different way to show that they are not my words

tiberiusiv: so once again im proven correct when i said bitcoin wouldnt sell off because of the lawsuit
truff1es: i can be a harsh critic if u want my brutal honesty let me know :)
mircea_popescu: i nev er played that one ?!
mircea_popescu: so dear assets ppl, help me see what classics i've missed.
kakobrekla: >I should have been clear on the aspect of the design and basic functionality - I think bitstamp is a clean interface but you are right, they have their flaws. Engine wise, I'd look towards the process MtGox is taking on and the partnerships they have forged with various companies to increase their survival (see: Prolexic partnership).
kakobrekla: >Small issues friend. We are attempting to make our exchange very reputable. I don't see value this year, but 10 years down the road when crypto-currencies are truly the trend. Our vision is to build a long lasting product for our market - We need a good team to do that.
mircea_popescu: but why am i armenian
mircea_popescu: I am just speculating but it seems to me that Mircea isn't really a racist even though he could have conveyed his point more gently by considering the history of racism and ethnic discrimination in the U.S. and the fact that Bitcoin is popular within the same demographic of people that will actually read him, despite his Armenian descent he could have been more considerate of other nations
benkay: ah i would wash them again then
dub: how long should I air dry computers that have been washed
benkay: no, i accidentally terminaled into x-chat
asciilifeform: also, I should note that, AFAIK, neither GPS, nor GLONASS, nor Beidou use crypto authentication for the time signal (or the coordinates!) so you could still be spoofed, if someone were interested.
jurov: how could i fuck it? i just can claim "this is the point when matrix took over"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i can't get radioactive material into that space ;/
jurov: 2013-05-05 21:09:15,655 [mpex]:DEBUG:Response headers: [('Date', ['Sun, 05 May 2013 19:09:06 GMT']), << this is HTTP Date header from outer layer I guess
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well provider i use didn;'t have your stick and i didn't press the issue
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the only stuff like that i've seen is roughly larger than a server blade
jurov: i'm pulling my hair out over an issue that boils down to trade execution dates few second before the orders were placed
Namworld: [16:06] <mircea_popescu> i need someone to code me a mmorpg
mircea_popescu: i need someone to code me a mmorpg
benkay: also i have yet to see it run in real time
benkay: I have a feeling that parameterizing the space and understanding how the engine works is vastly more useful than any existing software package
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: trust me, I know
asciilifeform: I actually sell a replacement for the latter in one of my day jobs: http://www.molboxllc.com/products.html
asciilifeform: i.e. you need actual brains to make a useful object, to spec
mircea_popescu: i tell you, originally they thought the same of industrial robots.
asciilifeform: I wouldn't say "ever", but it is about the same as home CNC machining
asciilifeform: re: 3d printers: I work with a guy who is a serious solid printing enthusiast (five figure investment in various attempts, and most of his spare time.) he prints objects like phone charging cradles and parts for model aircraft.
asciilifeform: I got a month of running log, sure
cads: benkay: lets talk more about 3dp later - I think there is a great future in personal desktop-based manufacturing, and it seems like 3dp is positioned to bring it to the consumer. There are lots of points of contention I'd love to chat about, but I gotta jet.
ThickAsThieves: i had a thought about altcoin manipulaiton today, it seems that every new altcoin that pops up, magically has buyers on BTC-E. I wonder if it'd be feasible to support new coins so as to keep the difficulty low on the one coin you really want to control and prop up later, like litecoin. You get everyone to move their hashes elsewhere, and then keep reaping LTC, then you pull the plug
kakobrekla: i dont like it
ThickAsThieves: meh i guess i dont really care about the answer
mircea_popescu: i think we all seen that ?
cads: what I heard was a lot about printing guns, without any mention of things like the thingiverse, the form 1, makerbot industry's successes, the fact that the staples is rolling out a 3d printer that will be sold from their stores (the cubify offering).
jurov: i tried to point out that shitcoins are akin to banknotes that you can remotely tamper with their value
asciilifeform: jurov: I'm looking into copper oxide
benkay: he told me that and i were all OMGOFCOURSE
asciilifeform: ion beam (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_beam_deposition) is ever so slightly more doable, I suspect.
Guest18208: i am guest 18 fucking 208
asciilifeform: I assume you were asking about optical (traditional) photo etching
asciilifeform: I'm more interested in the ion beam deposition approach, rather than optical masks, though
mircea_popescu: i tell ye i don't see it.
asciilifeform: although I do have access to university surplus lab junk.
mircea_popescu: no but i mean... you will need a laser.
mircea_popescu: i'd bet against it.
asciilifeform: btw, I am personally researching a means for fabricating 1980s-level VLSI in "bush conditions." No prizes for guessing why. But I cannot promise that anything will come of it.
mircea_popescu: i do not make the "can" claim.
mircea_popescu: note that i dispute the "can not" claim
asciilifeform: I can see the political virtues of reviving the skills of building 18th century muskets, but 3d printers aren't usefully in the mix.
asciilifeform: btw, I personally have a design for a 3d printer which prints solid steel. think "TIG welder" plus XYZ frame. but this would be ruinously expensive to run, and would burn down the house of the first idiot who builds on in his garage. so, unpublished.
mircea_popescu: i was making a point!
mircea_popescu: actually! here's a blueprint : i bet you can get a formulation of some sort of carbide, maybe even tungsten base, to dissolve in a solvent that evaporates at room temeprature
mircea_popescu: dude i'm certain it can be done.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: find me a polymer which can be used to produce a barrel reliably firing modern calibers. I know people who will pay very serious moneys for such.
mircea_popescu: no, i just mean the bad science of it
mircea_popescu: you know i appreciate the sentiment of calling out business insider et al for their ignorance, which is patent and outrageous
cads: I'm not liable to damages claimed by the monsanto company
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if i understand agriculture correctly, the main virtue thereof is you can plant crops in your own back yard
asciilifeform: cads: the way I understand it, the main virtue of 3d printing is that you can build the thing in your basement out of junkyard parts and not give a rat's arse about patents or copyrights.
mircea_popescu: cads i blame marketing.
kakobrekla: anyway i gotta jet now
cads: kakobrekla: I hope you do! What kind of ideas did you have planned for it.
mircea_popescu: and in the comments i make the following suggestion :
mircea_popescu: so i'm re-reading an old (romanian) article
cads: I'm looking at a lower quality offering in the range of $1500, in kit form
kakobrekla: i was raped
mircea_popescu: <kakobrekla> then i got occupied with other stuff and its like that for like 2 years maybe more now << i blame marketing.
cads: I may _need_ a gantry, but I couldn't pay more than $800 for it, and this would likely be an insult.
kakobrekla: well i can switch the gap on the rod that steppers move
kakobrekla: i already have steppers and cotrollers and all that shit
kakobrekla: i could put anything on it really
inhies: i have a mendel
kakobrekla: then i got occupied with other stuff and its like that for like 2 years maybe more now
kakobrekla: spent 5k+ on parts and a year of work (when i found the time to fiddle with it)
kakobrekla: i have ~80% of cnc machine finished which im thinking i could convert to 3d printer
Chaaang-Noi: anyway have a good one, try not to fall down and kill yourself before i get back!
mircea_popescu: i c
jurov: oka, i did no research and seems i had luck on guys that don't think very highly on oral
mircea_popescu: i imagine they'd be pretty sore if the holes were reversed
mircea_popescu: but jurov, seriously : in a household of three women i fuck each maybe once or twice a week
jurov: i'm rather joking, likely not
kakobrekla: speaking of i heard that there isnt much fuckin among man gay community
jurov: i'm versatile
jurov: maybe i can unmess some logs in exchange for fucking
kakobrekla: jurov i have longs since day 1 prolly
