BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> so no, it's not "in between the thighs". it's in between the cunt and the thighs. << I think it started off as a tublr meme, small part optical illusion created by a slight leaning forward of the torso allowing the feet to be parted and looking as though standing up, because... ;tldr

anton_osika: mircea_popescu: Hola. I have never had the E4BC29F7 key. What is up with that letter.
anton_osika: mircea_popescu: Thanks for the letter but I can obviously not open it. Would you mind encrypting it to me? https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=get&fingerprint=on&search=0x2CB59FFA3AB7A3EE
ascii_field: iirc mircea_popescu hosted some of the leaked u.s. telegrams at one point ☟︎

gribble: Nick 'mircea_popescu', with hostmask 'mircea_popescu!~Mircea@pdpc/supporter/silver/mircea-popescu', is not identified.
anton_osika: ;;ident mircea_popescu
anton_osika: mircea_popescu: you wrote the contract - the "long party" is the payer of the invoice". Nowhere does it state that the "long party" will need a PGP signature for payment. This is solely interpretation - and you are NOT paying for a future delivery contract. Do you have any rationale for this?
anton_osika: mircea_popescu: Is there anything that would make you pay the invoice?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: it takes tremendous athleticism to actually ride that thing

ascii_field: mircea_popescu: np-complete does not mean unsolvable ! just means that not solvable efficiently if the data set is at all large
mod6: mircea_popescu: it might. im not exactly sure how graphviz does its magic.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: aha! recall how you once observed that it is astonishing that i, in particular, manage to think about anything at all ?
anton_osika: Seriously mircea_popescu. You wrote the contract - it has a cause and you have got the invoice paid.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: iirc it is based on 'energy minimization' << as in http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=02-08-2015#1222064 ☝︎
anton_osika: mircea_popescu: I tried to prevent a situation like this...
anton_osika: mircea_popescu: I am sorry.
mod6: mircea_popescu: thanks :]
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: aha - isn't it beautiful? it looks exactly like the graph in my head when i wrote 'v'
anton_osika: mircea_popescu: I re-read the contract, and the system of trust should prevent egoistic interpretations of contracts.
anton_osika: mircea_popescu wrote the contract for the cause of delivery, right?
shinohai: And how exactly is your credibility worth more than mircea_popescu 's?
ascii_field: anton_osika: iirc mircea_popescu explained specifically, earlier, that he would lose credibility among the people who matter if he ~did~ pay.
anton_osika: and this is a piss in the ocean for upholding ones credibility for mircea_popescu .
anton_osika: BingoBoingo: Depends on what the contract should constructively be interpreted by. Unless MP stands by his word and take the one and only claimed deposit address (by the freenode authed antonosika as well as the holder of the bitcoin wallet) mircea_popescu will lose credibility by people who agree to my interpretation of what the cause of a future delivery

ascii_field: thestringpuller: as mircea_popescu pointed out, i am abusing the term to refer to meatspace business circles
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: it is possible sometimes, from the overall flavour of the items, for hitler to ferret out whom to shoot.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: re: repeated sales of exploits, there are also opsec considerations.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Just that lingering doubt is why I'm going to keep digging for other stuff to consider qntra-ing up
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Will look into it, but there has been "masquerade" spamming lately. Hard to tell if actual impersonation though or plausible deniability scam

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i dunno why old people put up with it, seriously. << Took grandpa until halfway to his eigth decade to take a stand on no more fingers and scopes up the butt and no more needles in the eye.
assbot: Logged on 15-09-2015 15:29:21; mircea_popescu: im kinda surprised it's not here yet. but perhaps the roll up of the "college debt" nonsense will come to that : people get auto-ressetting debt on a 7 yo period.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: it's a straight usg colony
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: from edison's time, even.

assbot: Logged on 15-09-2015 15:30:36; mircea_popescu: (inflation being, of course, just the monetary equivalent of "stealing the having been stolen from". people do a pretty decent job of managing to forget their parents lived better than they will.)
assbot: Logged on 15-09-2015 14:52:55; mircea_popescu: however, back in the day when 9 oiut of 10 bridges DIDNT stay up, there didn't even exist bridgebuilding as a distinct and named activity.

assbot: Logged on 14-09-2015 17:20:33; ascii_field: trinque: my understanding is that mircea_popescu would like a linux that is analogous to what we did with therealbitcoin. where the tree is frozen, all arguably-superfluous things are jettisoned, and any further changes must come from wot folk.
assbot: Logged on 14-09-2015 17:18:08; ascii_field: ~i~ can. trinque apparently can. mircea_popescu iirc was not able to. and hanbot also did not.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is a proggy, that actually does most mathematical manipulations formally described in any book.
