BingoBoingo: brg444: I'm working on
the Qntra piece on
the NYTimes piece
assbot: Successfully updated

brg444: couldn't seem
to manage
to !up?
thestringpuller: for
the old management he did, but he couldn't bullshit my buddy.
ascii_butugychag: if he had
to explain at all, he clearly failed
to 'securitify' his job
thestringpuller: So one day, buddy gives
this d00d a pink slip, and replaces him with a mail proc script.
thestringpuller: The d00d kept
trying
to say how his job was meaningful and useful, etc.
thestringpuller: there was once a Ph.D ex-NASA worker employed by my buddy at McAffee back in
the day. He built job security around "filtering mail". When my buddy became a manager, he asked
the d00d "What do you actually do?"
The guy gave
this long obfuscated explanation, and my buddy said, "So we can replace you with a mail proc script?"
thestringpuller: pretty sure security
through obfuscation has been disproven.
mircea_popescu: as if your don't undertstanding is an extenuating circumstance,
that somehow makes anything better, like salt and blowing up
the whites.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag it is, but not just.
the nonsense is in fact so pervasive
that when someone does something horrible ~and it matters not at all what it is ~
the first,
the automatic,
the one
true psychological defense is... "you don't understand"
ascii_butugychag: (if your system makes sense
to others, you might get sacked, etc)
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu:
this is intensely selected for in
the 'job market'
thestringpuller: the funny
thing is
the core devs proclaim "No need
to use V or
TRB method. We sign our git patches!!!!111"
mircea_popescu: i suspect
that at
the root of
the complexity-seeking behaviours is
the deeply internalized if very infantile fear
that if others understand what you did
they won't respect you for doing it. because hey, 5yo doesn't understand what parents do.
☟︎ ascii_butugychag: my mind is still boggling at
the sheer monumental complexity of
the signed-git crud
mircea_popescu: and disciplines of
the ass, such as being a sumo wrestler.
mircea_popescu: there's a major difference between disciplines of
the mind, such as NOT BEING STUPID
ascii_butugychag: could i become a respectable sumo wrestler in
the
time i
take on
the
train, aha.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag you have
to know
tho. in
the
time it
takes most women
to suck at
their amorous life,
they could make
themselves into quite respectable slavegirls. so what of it ?
ascii_butugychag: i
think in
the
time it
takes
to even read
that page, you could write a quite respectable v-tron...
mircea_popescu: perhaps
the biggest matzah ball hanging over
the heads of all
this well meaning & naive "foss"
thing is
the sheer disinclination of
the kids
to do research.
trinque squints at .ninja, refuses
to read
BingoBoingo: supports it (even
though it's not documented) and it's enabled by
BingoBoingo: supports it.
The OpenSSH server doesn't support roaming, but
the OpenSSH client
BingoBoingo: unexpectedly,
to resume it at a later
time, provided
the server also
BingoBoingo: UPDATE: Affects all OpenSSH 5.4 - 7.1: Apply
the workaround and wait for an upcoming release.
BingoBoingo: Thermos introduced
the rating system sometime in 2013
shinohai: I'm shocked not a single person has left feedback on
that MP account lol
BingoBoingo: Then again who can remember all
they
things wine
talked
them into
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: he's
the exception
to
the rule, you also get
the occasional light-skinned Nigerian :)
BingoBoingo: <fluffypony>
to a South African most "African Americans" look mixed-race << What abot DOn Cheadle?
ascii_butugychag: still waiting for anybody
to suggest removing ALL
the 'mebbe for later' crapolade
mircea_popescu: server into leaking client memory
to
the server, including private
mircea_popescu: code was enabled by default and could be
tricked by a malicious
mircea_popescu:
The matching server code has never been shipped, but
the client
mircea_popescu: SECURITY: ssh(1):
The OpenSSH client code between 5.4 and 7.1
ascii_butugychag: 'The matching server code has never been shipped, but
the client code was enabled by default and could be
tricked by a malicious server into leaking client memory
to
the server, including private client user keys.
thestringpuller: I blame
the VC-fueled derps. Others blame
the school systems.
Atomicat: IMO,
There isn't much listed
there.
Atomicat: How many assets are listed on MPEX? Is
there a list?
thestringpuller: Atomicat: he value of a seat on
the New York Stock Exchange has been falling after reaching a high nearly $4 million in 2005
to a value arounf $2.5 million
today. << Significantly cheaper
than a seat at
the NYSE
Atomicat: thestringpuller: I
think mircea_popescu should lower
the price bacuase
the bitcoin was not
this high at
that
time.
thestringpuller: ^- months
to pay off mpex fee at coinbr rates. << so you can't beat
that
mircea_popescu: Atomicat yeah. but
there are brokers, such as for instance jurov's coinbr.com
that are less onerous.
Atomicat: mircea_popescu: "Make sure you include verbiage
to reflect
that you are aware you will be required
to pay 50 BTC as fees for registering
the account, and are prepared
to do so. "
thestringpuller: punkman: are you
talking about
that
tawainese semiconductor company?
mircea_popescu: and ugly as fuck, but
the hottest fuck in paris. at least if you ask
the sluts.
thestringpuller: Yea he was
the kissinger of napoleon from what I'm reading.
mircea_popescu: right. napoleon got
to be napoleon for
two reasons and a spot of luck.
the ancient nobility prince here named is one reason, count bernadotte, later king, is
the other.
thestringpuller: seems dope as hell: "His career spanned
the regimes of Louis XVI,
the years of
the French Revolution, Napoleon, Louis XVIII, and Louis-Philippe."
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu:
thanks for
the link. french bourgeois life during
that
time. my what a
time.
mircea_popescu: now, just how profitable and which...
that's an open question.
mircea_popescu: iirc mpex assets have been
the only profitable sort of bitcoin assets
throughout bitcoin's history.
Atomicat: How can I register on MPEX and is
there any profittable assets
to invest in currently?
thestringpuller: f. scott fitzgerald really didn't get experience "the rich life", it's just interesting
to me
that "old miners" operate similar
to "old money". i do find it intriguing
the proletariat of America found
that book so fascinating in declaring "the american dream" dead.

thestringpuller: DerpUnion: bitcoin mining is a black hole, as in you'll never get
the BTC out you put into miners unless you can do some voodoo. Even if electricity cost was 0, you'd still have
trouble paying off
the miners
themselves unless you have direct access
to $foundry
assbot: Memoirs of
Talleyrand :
Talleyrand-Périgord, Charles Maurice de, prince de Bénévent, 1754-1838 : Free Download & Streaming : Internet Archive ... (
http://bit.ly/1mYilNs )
mircea_popescu: you are aware
that's a book, written about "how it is
to be rich" by someone who was himself poor ?
thestringpuller: this is how gatsby
tried
to rise
to power, but was struck down by "old money". it would seem miners would operate under
the same mentality.
mircea_popescu: the other kids in school'd BETTER
think his dad's house is cool, or else he stands
to lose a lot. so he has a vested interest in having
the sluttier chicks in class over by his pool each weekend,
that other kids in better situations don't.
mircea_popescu: in a sense
they're stuck with
them. much like a preppy kid
that's stuck with his parents house.
mircea_popescu: "old miners" do what you say in cases such as saudi arabia cutting prices
to sink obama's hopes of reindustrializing
the us, sure. but note
that
there's a strong "god-given" element
to
this :
the saudis didn't BUILD
those oil deposits.
mircea_popescu: i don't
trust jgarzik's ability
to correctly account for a business venture, for one
thing.
thestringpuller: i had a
theory
the "profitable" miners (ones
that got in early before major difficulty increase vis-a-vis jgarzik getting first avalon miner and paying it off in 1 month), will drop
the price
to push other miners offline.
mircea_popescu: which is
the primary driver for
the extreme run-up in hashing we've been experiencing
the past coupla years.
mircea_popescu: there IS
the implicit fiat short where you finance your mining with [tax deductible] fiat losses, and maintain your profits in bitcoin.
thestringpuller: This is why you get stories of people investing in mining and holding BTC until price escalates
then sell portion
to get net profit. But bear market has prevented
that for
the past 1.5-2 years
mircea_popescu: that
there exists no marginal demand created by production increase nor any demand destroyed by production shortages makes
the situation quite peculiar.
