mircea_popescu: i don't think there's anything wrong with proper, full rsa (
as opposed to the neutered version implemented by pgp)
mircea_popescu: and
as the idiots keep investing themselves, no matter how ineptly, they'll eventually build a shitpile large enough, i suspect.
mircea_popescu: there's a reason why the sort of guy that can't pass the simplest test of manhood, that pons asinorum known
as the prisoner's dilemma is known
as a rat.
mircea_popescu: in this sense, a good iB in back pocket
as you say plays the strategic role of "fleet in being", in that it protects the old shit from too violent a crisis.
mod6:
as Ada. We've all kicked it around a bunch about the lang, and I'm not sure we're all sold on Ada. But seems like a step in the correct direction overall.
mircea_popescu: but you know, i think blind enthusiasm has carried us about
as far
as it will ; moreover, everything has its time and place.
mircea_popescu: so one thing is you know, to come to some sort of decision on what to do there. strategy-wise,
as it were.
mircea_popescu: mod6 well one major question to be decided is : obviously there's the project of cleaning up extant bitcoin code ; by the discussion re july of forks, there's also the proposal to start a separate project to make an "ideal bitcoin". this proposal wasn't ever seriously discussed and i dunno that it ever was actually accepted
as such.
mod6: If we basically just tagged bitcoin in V
as is today, then we could possibly start working on the implementation of the prereqs above.
mircea_popescu: anyway, aite, will be sending it tomorrow. same addy
as in your original deed.
shinohai: Also BingoBoingo thanks for preserving the "Shapeshit" spelling
as I intended.
davout: but i guess i'd have to double check against the actual data i have in the DB, might
as well go and find the information there directly
davout: no scratch that, the number of 'accepted bets'
as reported in the february statement would do
mircea_popescu: davout
as a liability to bitbet / owed to me you mean ?
davout: anything bet seeding that came after the january report should be accounted
as a liability to you
davout: previous reports state house bets
as an expense, this expense is in turn deducted from revenue and reduces the distributed profits to shareholders
davout: and just because the liabilities amount is reduced by the payments that are made back to the house does not imply the converse is true for house bets,
as the 'house bet' expense has no particular reason to be accounted for in the same month the 'house bet winnings' are accounted for
trinque: felipelalli: put it on dpaste and feed via $deed
as above
trinque: TomServo: yeah it did; you were just in there
as lowercase
mircea_popescu: also known
as singularily opposable contracts or w/e you call declaratory contracts in english
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform inasmuch
as the deal doesn't concern you, what "our" planet ?
mircea_popescu: no, not utterly trivial shite. the stuff that you are proud of and pointedly accept
as the superset of your capacity and abilities.
sbp: I could certainly accept uncompilable fexprs
as being an expression of rubbish hardware though
sbp: I saw something recently where they gave people a belt, and it buzzed in whichever direction was north, to give them haptic feedback
as to cardinal directions. they seemed moderately annoyed to indifferent about the belt when wearing it, I recall
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform (it was old norman, a marginal dialect of french, disused in france due to paris ascendancy, that survived
as a very intricate technical language via oxford law uni.)
sbp: I know he just meant alert reader generally, but he did a previous post where one of our chatlogs was titled "the alert reader", and so I decided to take up the challenge anyway because I was curious
as to what the encodings were—I wanted to understand how the seals were intended to be used
mircea_popescu: sbp for my curiosity, you familiar with the state of republican debate on items such
as utf and ascii generally ?
sbp: I was perhaps disingenuous about ascii being the pertinent item. after all,
as I say, I could do lexical scope without the ascii representation
sbp: fexprs
as arguments to functions must be typed. that's it. that's all we need
sbp: a bit like how the SCHEME-79 chip worked. that executed the cons cells directly,
as you put it
sbp: have you heard of Reverse Polish Lisp? it was a language for the HP-48 I think from 1987. the idea was that it was meant to combine some of the features of lisp, the high level stuff (
as high level
as they could squeeze into a late 1980s calculator) and the low level Mooreishness of Forth
sbp: long time listener, second time caller,
as they say
phf: so either cmucl or i have finally gone mad. (setq *connection* (irc-connect)) few lines later (error "~a" *connection*). error comes back
as "NIL"
trinque: it happened just
as I tried to $up myself
phf: yeah, but the bot explicitly doesn't reconnect, because i don't want to lose messages and introduce continuity break. perhaps i should just do that
as a "good enough" measure, but i want to just write a communicating-multi-bot setup over the weekend
mircea_popescu: i think for some reason you got the idea that if mp gets phuctor server it's ok to come in, redefine it
as "trb node" and move on.
mircea_popescu: these 0.1 btc came out of my own pocket,
as a credit towards bitbet, that now has to be unwound.
mircea_popescu: my idea is that while it's true that the proceeds from house bets shouldn't be counted against the shareholders - it is at the same time the actual sum of those bets
as made should count
as a credit for me.
mircea_popescu: now im lost
as to why the fuck i had a 199 figure which matches netiehr of these ;/
mircea_popescu: davout ok, so going through third report :
as to note 2-3, so you took out 2.15+0.67314231 = 2.82314231 out of liabilities seeing how the house needn't pay itself, i reckon ? this makes sense.
mircea_popescu: and you know, boar weighs about the same
as a large number of sacks of potatoes
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: yes, human interaction. i'm a derpy american business-ish hustler who also does software
as it pertains to the /businesses/.
ben_vulpes: mod6: every payment processor has their own interface. but
as mentioned above, the tech is almost entirely ancillary to figuring out what needs doing and piping the data round.
ben_vulpes: not on its own, but
as a necessary requisite.
mike_c: degaussing no, I took it
as the nuemann thing for unreliable number smoothing
shinohai: mod6:
as long
as you got yours! :D
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Sorry, that didn't take
as long
as I thought it would.
diana_coman: jay borenstein, he's the initiator of Open Academy
as far
as I know (I don't know him personally)
diana_coman: and it kind of got onto me because of all this current academia apparent strive towards "using OS
as a way to get students develop wider skills and be more ready for industry" stuff; see open academy etc
mircea_popescu: which is,
as far
as history informs, what all bureaucrats ever really wanted.
mircea_popescu: seems a serious loss,
as the convo is very tense in the original, and i doubt anyone but they involved even has the priors to grok wtf is being said.
mircea_popescu: which is why whore (the real kind, that actually works -
as opposed to what the female group wail purports) is in all times and places the young leader's best and most trustworthy ally.
shinohai: thx
as well BingoBoingo I never miss an opportunity to lol at ETH
a111: Logged on 2015-07-08 23:22 decimation: also describing it
as 'political time' when the policy is 'matches easily observable astronomical phenomena' seems a bit hyperbolic
mircea_popescu: trinque> I've yet to be convinced that the database isn't a thing << hey, i've been following your crusade from the foxhole, i dun see that it lost
as of yet.
ben_vulpes: shits txen into mother postgres
as they come down the pipe
mircea_popescu: i'd sure
as fuck trade in html soup in exchange for sql.
mircea_popescu: at least temporarily, for
as long
as the usual fucktards don't "improve" sql to be more... "responsive"
mircea_popescu: i do not think whoring is extempt from market mechanisms. i KNOW that what you misrepresent
as "market mechanisms" is pure usg ideology and has not ever SEEN a market.
mircea_popescu: this because 99% of people who currently own cars shouldn't own
as much
as a pocket knife.
phf: they could probably make it
as intrusive
as they want
mircea_popescu: (and since we're discussing german firsts - the fucking reason steak's so good today is that well... ww1 germanz needed leather, imported
as much
as argentina could produce. so it begun.)
mircea_popescu:
http://www.loper-os.org/?p=854&cpage=1#comment-2720 << if you recall, someone did. a humorless german dude, and
as a result italy gets to fraudulently claim it's a "nation" and "part of europe", rather than the arab brothel sicily was leading it towards throughout the middle ages (which, there, last until 1960 and after)
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes kinda why the whole "usg takes
as much from 'coffers' of usg corps
as it needs" thing in macroeconomy discussion few days ago.
mircea_popescu: yeah, and part and parcel of the explanation
as to WHY us "won the space race"
ben_vulpes: portland is about
as squatter unfriendly
as i've ever seen a city.
mircea_popescu: im unconvinced multibox support is a good idea. if i am going to run on non-x86, i sure
as fuck don't wantall the x86 stuff in there.
