phf: library of congress obviously, but also all
the ivies have magnificent libraries
adlai: BingoBoingo: flashbacks,
to days scanning barcodes in a lawfirm 'library' off
the P3 (that's
three floors, in
the parking direction)
pete_dushenski: phf:
the old cities (nyc, chi, dc) all have at least a few,
to be sure
phf: pete_dushenski:
there's a couple of nice libraries in
this country
too
pete_dushenski: two points
to anyone who recognises
that picture of
the library above. (if you'd been, you'd remember it!)
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: o we do, but my evenings are spent in
the quiet comfort of my personal residential library, not on
the street.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: I just
though since you were in
the big city you had
that kind with
the hobopiss
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo:
the fuck... not ~public~ library life. who
the fuck visits
those for more
than
the 30 seconds required
to walk
to shelf,
to checkout, and back out
adlai: BingoBoingo, mircea_popescu what's policy on including charts from external sources in bitcoin mining overview qntra articles? eg bitcoinwisdom.com, bitcoin.sipa.be,
tradeblock.com, etc
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Come on,
there's plenty of it. What else do you call
the homeless people watching porn on
the public
terminals if not noise
BingoBoingo: pretty sure
the episode was simply
titled "Jewbilee"
though
BingoBoingo: TV goes behind you
to provide background noise
pete_dushenski doesn't
think he spends an hour a month in front of 'tv'
pete_dushenski: you remember
the season ? i can add it
to
the list of shows i pretend
that i'll watch one day
BingoBoingo: They were pretty clear. You go
to jewbilee
to make macaroni pictures
to please moses
BingoBoingo: That's not how
the
theologists behind south park describe it
pete_dushenski: so carte blanche is mine as far as diet and
the other 'customs' go
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: if you're a liberal-atheist-spinozist-jewbilee,
there's not really anyone
to kick you off your 'table for one'
pete_dushenski: i also can't stand
the
texture of mashed potatoes, which doesn't seem
to be derived from scum-sucking bottom-feeders, so i probably shouldn't blame
the good book
too much
pete_dushenski: though i do blame kashrut (at least partly) for
turning me off shellfish quite entirely.
though i suspect
that most of it is
the unsavoury
texture of
the shit.
BingoBoingo: But don't you get kicked out of Jewbilee for
that?
BingoBoingo: Then
there's
the whole part where bacon is delicious...
pete_dushenski: the world can use a good pissing off now and again, like
the body can use a little rhinovirus here and
there. helps keep everyone fresh.
pete_dushenski: but even
this 'poor
track record' is nothing but
the regular stressors needed
to weed out
the
truly idiotic from
the slightly less idiotic
BingoBoingo: I mean when
the choice is polish ovens or not chosen...
pete_dushenski: better chosen for 'bad' college football
team
then not selected
to any
team at all, neh ?
BingoBoingo: I dunno, member of
the
tribe seem
to have a poor
track record when it comes
to getting chosen for
things by other groups
pete_dushenski: 'there is neither good nor bad but
thinking makes it so' (tm) (r)
BingoBoingo: Being chosen often means chosen for bad
things.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: 7 years exactly eh ?
that'd be on
the next jubilee
then ?
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Not a photoshop,
taken in New England with a camera
that sees
time 7 years in advance.
☟︎☟︎ pete_dushenski: just because you're not a ~billionaire~ with x-ray vision, i forgot
to mention
that part. and if you
tell me
that you're also a billionaire,
that's ok
too because
there are more parts i haven't mentioned yet!'
assbot: Logged on 17-02-2016 16:20:50; mircea_popescu: i shall now be quiet while alf, who has never set foot in california, proceeds
to explain
to people who live
there how
the place is.
pete_dushenski:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-02-2016#1408407 << you don't understand dirigible fantasies. it's like every comic book fan's overactive imagination
telling him
that 'if i only has x-ray vision i'd get so much pussy'. and
then mousy radiologist (as
they
tend
to be, in my experience), asks comicfan 'have you ever seen something with x-ray vision ? i'm not quite sure it's how you imagine.' 'nonsense,
that's
☝︎ adlai: you know you're busy with less
trivial bullshit when you are actually surprised by btcfiat updates in #b-a
pete_dushenski: that guy, despite apparently not having much of a stomach for money or finance, is a pretty respectable little investor, i'll give him
that
pete_dushenski: fuck won't be making uni appear
to be
the sine qua non for adult life
that it was presented
to me as.
pete_dushenski: obviously,
this afternoon, and
the fact
that i'd be nutso
to enter into a 20-year contract with a non-entity is why i will under no circumstances, and quite
to
the contrary of 'every is doing it' advice from
the whole peanut gallery of well-meaning busy bodies, be starting an 'resp' account (registered educational savings plan) for my kid(s). if
they want
to go
to law or something, i'll pony up, but if i sure as

assbot: Logged on 17-02-2016 15:25:47; mircea_popescu: but, fortunately for it,
the us has nothing
to offer. it'd be an active safari grounds for live slaves, if
the women weren't generally ugly and universally fat. it is being raided
to shit by indian/chinese people for whatever shreds of prestige it may have left,
tho from what i hear us diplomas are becoming 2nd rate in beijing
these days.
pete_dushenski:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-02-2016#1408267 << /me can't believe how much worse
this exact phenomenon has become in just
the last decade. i was in
the new engineering 'innovation centre' on campus
today (mostly materials engineering) and every single last motherfucking dude was straight off
the boat from india or china. i don't
think
there are
two white dudes per floor at
this point.
☝︎ adlai: ehehe what do you
take me for, a price signal?
this message not directed at anybody in particular. goodnight #b-a
adlai: then you get some income
too
adlai: trinque: you should collect
the deedynickles, i haven't swept in a while
trinque: adlai:
there is a cost
to accepting stupid money
adlai in his own defence asked
the guy
to ~specify~ what exactly
the fuck he expected
this
thing
to do... "you're
the
technical guy,
that's your job"
adlai: and i feel really bad
that it's not working yet.
thus, i go back
to my 'uranium mine'
adlai: so i 'promised' a dude a blockchain spamatron, and he gave me 3btc after insisting
that we not sign anything, not even a gpg contract
adlai has unfinished business, with people
that pay him btc;
trb hacking falls under play.
adlai: well, i'm overbullshitting my familiarity with build systems... but
the fact
that i can run make doesn't mean i'm benefitting from any of
the Vification.
adlai: shiva is an A1
tease but i still need
to build
the damn
thing!
adlai: asciilifeform: patches are a ways aways. i'm still figuring out
this whole C++ mess... last
time i dealt with
these shits i had MSVC+CLR
to back me up, never
touched
the keyboard. click click click.
adlai: the lisp code would've been neat if
the damn powerrangers could keep
their helptext syntax uniform! /rant
adlai actually wrote out ~4 of
these rpc wrappers by hand before fuckiting
adlai: old
turd dries hard
adlai digs up
the shithub
adlai: ahh,
the btc package
adlai has never rubbed more
than
two digits
together at once, with his own grubby paws
adlai: (format () "~$" (reduce '+ (reduce 'mapcar '(abs cdr) :from-end
t :initial-value (btc:listaccounts 0
t)))) -> "15863.10"
trinque: orifice
to shit
txn into and way
to find out
the balance of any address at
the current state and you're good.
trinque: I shall back up
the wallet for dissection and rescan, I suppose
trinque: the default account is
the one deedbot was using
adlai: huh, scalpl is roadkill
too. shame.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] [PAID] 46.60687115 BTC
to 500`000`000 shares, 9 satoshi per share
assbot: [MPEX] [S.BBET] [PAID] 4.60383615 BTC
to 5`000`000 shares, 92 satoshi per share
adlai: but definitely
tl;dr,able at a whopping 7,243 shares
adlai: so i'd actually say it's a move in
the right direction, regardless of
the authors's's position
adlai: tl;dr:
the only place where 'Blockchain' is camelpitalized is in
the
title
BingoBoingo: adlai: A position paper is liek
the vocabulary suggests, a paper
that "advances" a particular political position
BingoBoingo: K,
the bitbet affliate link
thing probably has a place, but likely as part of a larger monetization effort when
that
time comes. I'm uncertain on
this matter at
this moment.
adlai: but at least i lose
to better people on
this one
adlai: everybody needs a server
they wouldn't be caught dead on
adlai has
to as well, but actually has
to ~work~ beforehand, believe it or not
