mircea_popescu: es. You see a thick layer of dark brown jam-like material and think, this couldn't possibly be caramel, there's just too much of it. And so worldliness leads you to great giant bites and then disaster."
<< this is very much on point.
mircea_popescu: "Men ask women to dance by trying to make eye contact and nodding towards the dance floor in a gesture called the cabeceo. In theory this is a discreet way for men to save face in the event of a refusal; in practice it means men cross the darkened room, stand three steps in front of their intended partner, and wag their head gravely until she either gets up to dance or tells them to go away."
<<< bwahahaha. fucking idiots. th
mircea_popescu: "People dance tango at a structured event called a milonga (the word can also apply to the dance hall itself, or to a two-beat older form of tango music), the only social setting in Argentina where you must fetch your own drinks and empanadas at a bar rather than waiting for table service."
<<< ahaha fucking bs. as erryone can attest, you get table service.
mircea_popescu: anyway, "San Telmo is a tango-rich environment and there are many studios advertising instruction, but this one seemed the most accessible for someone with social anxiety. There were no buzzers to ring, stairs to climb, or windowless doors to knock on."
<< the difference of style is palpable.
mats: 'Finally caught, two decades later, he characteristically is neither willing to admit, nor dessist from the practice.'
<< i think you mean desist
mod6:

mircea_popescu: log_hexdump("\n\nFurther lulz:",prime,nbits/8); log_hexdump("\nYielding:",ptest,nbits/8);
<< relevant lines.
mod6:
<+asciilifeform> anyway the patch ^ shown above is the ticket.
<< recompiling for gpg2
mircea_popescu:
<asciilifeform> ought to be log_hexdump("\nYieldPrime: \n", ptest, nbits/8.);
<< mircea_popescu:
<asciilifeform> log_hexdump("\nYieldPrime: \n", ptest, nbits);
mircea_popescu: from autogen : "--with-gpg-error-prefix=@SYSROOT@"
<< what format does that take if not fucking path
BingoBoingo:
<asciilifeform> observe how primary key is always WEAKEST.
<< But pinoy insists opposite-day
<asciilifeform> observe how primary key is always WEAKEST.
mod6: "the PGP team at Symantec"
<< lel!
mod6:
<+asciilifeform> folks who only have mircea_popescu's business card - are.
<< ah, i see what you're sayin'
mod6:
<+asciilifeform> it isn't fixable while conforming to the rfc.

mod6:
<+mircea_popescu> asciilifeform the incredible gall of the imbecile, to actually state it as "This bug does not affect the default generation of keys"
<< i mean srsly. since 1998!?
mod6:
<+shinohai> thank you for choosing #trilema for your bits for tits needs.

mircea_popescu: “The stuff they have there is super-duper interesting, but it is by far not the most interesting stuff in the tool set,” he said. “If you had the rest of it, you’d be leading off with that, because you’d be commanding a much higher rate.”
<< yeah... and then... SELL ADVERTISING.

http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-17#1523293 << by the way, i don't think the implication of that discussion can't possibly be understated. for instance, it is a common etatist criticism of "what they call bitcoin" so really, tmsr, that "everyone running a business has an incentive to eventually run so eventually will" sort of thing.

http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-17#1523161 << you know, that's an apt characterization, and i think you're right re that second group of wanna-be anarchists; true, probably. and i am aware that tmsr regards bitcoin *quite* differently indeed, which manifests in the block size discussion etc. yeah.
☝︎ Framedragger: asciilifeform: "the sequel - was almost wholly free of mathematics, and replete with 'best practice because my arse thusly spoke' crapolade."
<< okay, that's sad, and an educational case
mircea_popescu: "everyone who disagrees is usg stooge"
<<< this is not the criterion. everyone who dresses his "position", which they don't even call disagreeing, IN THE SAME COLORED PANTS, evidently shops at the same shop. you see ?
mircea_popescu: "Il est à remarquer que l'once d'argent ne vaut pas cent de nos sous valeur intrinsèque, comme le dit l'Histoire de la Chine; car il n'y a point de valeur intrinsèque numéraire; mais à prendre le marc de notre argent à 50 de nos livres de compte, cette somme revient à 1250 millions de notre monnaie en 1740"
<<< he knows. in 1700!
mircea_popescu: (on the sub-subject of "defending the power of phuctor's results"
<< it is entirely reactive. just as doctor defending the power of sanitation. in some contexts it's the only thing a doctor can say - and he can be rendered "ridiculous" by insisting on presenting him in that context, but really, the joke's on the unwashed.)

http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-17#1523089 << point of frustration acknowledged; however, ftr it *does* irk me when $empire$ does it; i don't point fingers at *that* here because there's a point of exhaustion and tiredness re. the latter (*not* learned helplessness / acceptance, note), and it appears to be sufficiently covered by others here :)

http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-17#1523032 << there is a major difference between scientific speech and political speech. i don't care about the stupid conclusions random nobody arrives at. the moment however he emits judgements of value that happen to contradict mine, i no longer care HOW he arrived at them, merely that he stated them.
