mircea_popescu: no more
tables, no more cocktail waitress cocksuckers off duty waiting for
teh winners, no more vegas!
SuchWow: it's becoming a destination resort
town, with gambling offered as just one of several differnt options, no more special weighting
SuchWow: they also cleaned up all
the hookers and homeless
SuchWow: it's just catering

SuchWow: it's really sad for me
to see
that, but at
the same
time
SuchWow: and half
the rooms
that have been jere decades
SuchWow: but now
there is literally no
tourist market for poker anymore
mircea_popescu: "oh i played with chow" "o yea ? how'd you do ?" "folded
three hands!"
SuchWow: poker was always
the loss leader, even during
the boom
mircea_popescu: well because it was
the loss leader also. people went
to lose money
to champs just on
the basis of hte brand
SuchWow: that's
the only
thing i ever really did on my
trips
SuchWow: and back when
they respected poker as well
SuchWow: finally
they cut me off and said fuck you back lol
SuchWow: was living in Cali $50 plane
tick, starte going just for fun
mircea_popescu: course
that kinda ended in
the 80s, just been soft-ish landing ever since.
SuchWow: cuz i used
to come here all
the
time
SuchWow: and casinos are
the loss leader
mircea_popescu: yeah, vegas is yet another sanded harbor in
the history of civilisation.
SuchWow: that it's day 3-4 and i'm litearlly in my hotel room chatting on irc because
this place just ain't what it used
to be lol
SuchWow: but
the poker scene here has died so much over
the last 5 years
mircea_popescu: so what are you doing
these days ? wanna
test my mmorpg ?
SuchWow: yeah i found
that interesting as well
SuchWow: and not actually new changes in
that regard
SuchWow: they said
that a lot of
this is really just resurrection of 'the old ways'
mircea_popescu: so much has changed it'll be an accomplishment if
they last
the year.
assbot: Logged on 19-02-2016 15:24:53; mircea_popescu: * #freenode :Cannot send
to channel
☟︎ SuchWow: i certainly don't claim
that
there was any logic
to
the decision, but if you've seen #freenode lately, and ANNs, a lot has changed around here recently
mircea_popescu: o brother. i've been
trying
to give servers and stuff
to
the freenode shitheads for YEARS
☟︎ SuchWow: for my
time and service in being founding op of
that chan
SuchWow: a dogecoin op became freenode dev, freenode decided
to give aff cloaks for dogecoin project
SuchWow: you all have literally paid 10x more attn
to it
than myself lol
SuchWow: the emeritus
tag is much less
than you guys have been making of it lol
mircea_popescu: and yeah, i agree, dogecoin, like litecoin, all went
the way of
the bell bottoms.
SuchWow: didn't want
to retype a paraphrase, sry
SuchWow: [08:49:16] <SuchWow> (i won't pretend
to act like i know you because, i don't)
SuchWow: [08:49:05] <SuchWow> mircea_popescu: how is bitcoin and all of your various endeavours whatever
they may be?
SuchWow: [08:49:05] <+mircea_popescu> "noisehole, bullshitter, blowhard, drunkard, sadist, rapist, all-around disgrace
to
the sad sad State of Bitcoin (and a passive-aggressive plagiarist,
too,
to
top a cherry on
the shit-pan-kake!)" da fuck did you do adlai !
SuchWow: [08:48:40] <SuchWow> mircea_popescu: you guys are so pompous lol...i haven't been involved in crypto,
trading or otherwise, for almost 2 year. Doge seems
to fine, still has a small community (moreso
than litecoin anyways), and i've been watching crypto in general just for fun. Eth seems interesting, but still not convinced.
SuchWow: so didn't realize my response wasn't going
through lol. i

to hear about how long
the bitcoind recompile is in your various workflows, asciilifeform, phf, mod6, punkman, jurov
assbot: Logged on 01-03-2016 08:40:28; botneko-chan: I'm actually not very interested in btc politics, but in my opinion if increase block size
then miners would get less profit from
tx processing when
there would be no new btc mined. Mining would become non-rentable and hashpower will decrease after some
time
then making easier for someone
to get 51% just by
turning on ol ASIC
that was
turned off because of low profit. I'm okay with current blocks and h

☟︎ ben_vulpes: probably more crowded
than anything mircea_popescu engages in willingly, and i don't even like it.
☟︎ punkman: probably a bit late for
that
ben_vulpes: some real horrific
tiny house gypsy shit: 2 adults, 1 infant and 80lbs of ferocious lovedog in a queen bed
SuchWow: i enjoy our
twice a year
talks lol
SuchWow: anyhow, i'll leave you guys
to it, be well!
cazalla: from 3 months, my boy slept 7pm-7am like clockwork, but when
teething began so did around 6 months of shitty sleeping
ben_vulpes: stirs a mite, gets fed, goes back
to sleep.
ben_vulpes: well he sleeps
through
the night, let's start
there
ben_vulpes: putting
the pressure on
to get him into his bassinet more regularly
cazalla: well, back
to parent, ben_vulpes did you end up going ahead with co-sleeping?
cazalla: not sure, from what i know it will change
to pos at some point and
then inflate
the supply forever
ben_vulpes: i wonder how
the conversation drifted from parenting
to shillcoins
☟︎ SuchWow: did
they ever fix
that i wonder
SuchWow: wasn't
there some
thing where
the algo was gonna force POW
to stop and switch
to POS even
tho no POS algo had been invented yet
cazalla: SuchWow, even if it was
the second coming, idgaf as it will inflate forever
SuchWow: yeah pre-sale woulda been nice, but i don't blame myself one bit for not buying
the hype
SuchWow: cazalla:
that's reasonable. i don't really either, it's just
that it's been hard
to NOT hear about
that one over
the last year
cazalla: SuchWow, i don't really follow altcoins, so many of
them, so many failures, bitcoin remains #1 despite all
the 2.0 shit
that has been promised
to
topple it all
these years

SuchWow: i'm not super well versed, but it's come up enough
to make me go hmm, plus
those charts are cray cray lol
SuchWow: Just out of curiosity, what do you guys
think about ethereum, meaning
this chan in general
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 24-12-2015 08:11:50; *: mircea_popescu is reasonably impressed. had ben_vulpes pegged for "this guy's managed
to put himself in a
texbook model of a place where guys crack".
cazalla: i get more cuddles and kisses, but he only
turns
the
tears on if mum leaves, not when dad goes out, doesn't seem
to care as much
☟︎ ben_vulpes: starting
to give a shit about his dad yet?
cazalla: all good, kids galore here
these days, easy
to lose
track
cazalla: yeah, a boy named Noah, he
turned 2 January just gone
cazalla: i am looking forward
to
those
things again,
times seems
to have gone so fast with
the first, one moment he can barely roll and lift his head but now it's all walkin' and
talkin'
ben_vulpes: there's only so much damage
the little fuckling can do in 485 ft2
☟︎ cazalla: girl, due early june, 5 months, not sure on weeks
top of my head
SuchWow: i still watch charts and chatter daily just
to keep up with it for fun
tho
cazalla: ben_vulpes, good, missus looks bigger
