mircea_popescu: so wait.
the wikipedia page on
the "cultural impact" of some random network anchor dude consists of 'things named after him' such as obscure sports
teams and various pets ; and a large chapter on "wikipedia references" ?
assbot: Logged on 12-12-2015 13:42:05; mircea_popescu: (i did find
the answer, a half hour of labour later, and exactly in
the "basic science upon
the software" sense djikstra was discussing. and i'm betting you don't know either. pos html omfg.)
pete_dushenski: can't say i've watched daniel
tosh's stand-up routine, but i'd have high expectations for it.
punkman: daniel
tosh is pretty bad but I've only caught
the odd youtube featuring him
mircea_popescu: never really watched
the guy outside of a few half minute snippets here and
there.
mircea_popescu would almost watch a best-of if curated by someone in
the wot
pete_dushenski: punkman: looks like you're not alone. no one wants
the ~actual~ stephen colbert,
they want
to see an overwrought fauxpublican.
punkman: can't say I'll ever watch his new "serious" crap
though
punkman: colbert had some pretty good bits over
the years
trinque: giving up on
the
tags other
than div alleviates a lot of
the pain
trinque: mircea_popescu: a yep,
that works.
trinque: now only
the fellation of
the state and hollywood remain.
pete_dushenski: and colbert's up
there with ali g and daniel
tosh in
the "lulzy interview
that audience and interviewer understand but interviewee maybe not so much" game.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: and colbert kicked
the parody
to
the curb, leaving... not much.
mircea_popescu: trinque if you're curious, see how last
trilema does it
mircea_popescu: that said, he's squeezed more blood from
that rock
than anyone i know oif.
trinque: then comes
the long recitation of
the reset.css ritual
to purify
the browser.
assbot: "Parody" is not
there for you cancerous fags
to
try and hide your cancer behind it. on
Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... (
http://bit.ly/1T9xolV )
punkman: there's probably
two dozen ways
to do
that
trinque: that one makes it "absolute" "relative"
to
the parent div
trinque: ...
the shit
that fills my head
trinque: mircea_popescu │ in other news : how do you superimpose
two images for
the web, but exactly ? << you put
them both in a position: relative div, give
the
two images position: absolute; left: 0;
top: 0;

☟︎ mircea_popescu: in other news : how do you superimpose
two images for
the web, but exactly ?
BingoBoingo: * adlai is proud
to report
that his meatspace btcfiat signal remains peerlessly indistinguishable from monkeys at a
typewriter << Meatspace linux signal is bullish
BingoBoingo: * mircea_popescu prepares
the 2016 version of
the "stop buying" article. << I knew it.
adlai: ok
that's all from
the broken record department (for
tonight, folks)
gribble: mike_c was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 5 weeks, 1 day, 8 hours, 1 minute, and 40 seconds ago: <mike_c> let's get
that
thing out
the door and get alf some goddamn bitcoin already
adlai: but
the
tool still needs a couple more
trials before pressing blueprints
adlai has a gist floating around
that may be welcome (after some digestion) in bitbet.py, under
the "betting both sides" department
adlai: monkeys
that make good bitbet payouts! but suck at
timing anything asymmetric larger
than a banknote or
two
adlai is proud
to report
that his meatspace btcfiat signal remains peerlessly indistinguishable from monkeys at a
typewriter
adlai: they
tend
to either encourage me
to keep playing around with my play-btc, or feign interest in
the hope of nucleating a
tradable price signal out of my sykobabble
punkman: adlai: you might be better off
talking
to people
that don't have any btc yet
adlai: unfortunately my meatspace acquaintances, even
the ones controlling enough btc
to make
them worth referring,
think
they know where and how
to best invest it -
themselves
punkman: mircea_popescu: what's
the mpex referal fee now?
punkman: /me was
talking at some kind of computer/security/bitcoin workshop in dreamworld
adlai hopes somebody has a Plan around effigy-attributed
trb vpatches, because i know enough C++
to swear myself fit
to neither generate nor verify
that bullshit
adlai: he's now gone parroting
this on
to other jooz, even in
the same discussion as "so uh is it a good
time
to buy bitcoin maybe because it's regulated?"
adlai: mircea_popescu: did i ever mention one of my meatspace drink buddies who denies
that i quote anybody but him when referencing
the "problem of
too much money"?
adlai rushes
to
the
trademark press
adlai: superfish business model!
targeted whoring based on reverse-image-crawling links
to your own naked likeness
adlai: mircea_popescu: where do you dredge up all
this... and how come
these sluts don't get
to earn
their bitcents
too?
adlai keeps poring over
their arithmancy documentation
adlai has no idea how
to valuate
that risk but when did
that ever stop idiots
adlai: in relevant news, if STRML or anybody else from bitMEX ever shows up, i'd love
to eat
their fee discounts on managing DPE risk
assbot: Logged on 10-12-2015 14:40:00; asciilifeform: ('wizards' is where
they spend all day
thinking of what shit-to-bolt-on-the-side-of-the-kalash)
adlai: that'll be
the "shut up and buy" signal, i guess
adlai: next up
they'll be
telling you when and where
to short mpex
adlai: "More investors are
taking it seriously and using it as a portfolio diversifier" go on, elaborate how billionaires hedge
their penny stock exposure with hard currency
adlai: nah let
them riff a little, it's
their role in nature's "greedy algorithm" bullshit detector
mircea_popescu: these idiots are all ready
to fuck
things over. "oh, it went up, buy buy buy!11"
mircea_popescu prepares
the 2016 version of
the "stop buying" article.
adlai: "A comparison
to gold suggests Bitcoin could be undervalued" don't go driving any nonsmall amounts, we may have
to
take your bullshit seriously as well!
adlai: alas for i can't stuff
the worst ones back into my
tendons
adlai: mircea_popescu: i really wish red
tape will kill all
the stupid ideas dreamt up
tonight
adlai: crowdsourcing 'peer' review from hacker news, and
they don't even pay shares by
the wordcount!
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the diocletian edict is a fine example.
the problem isn't even economic
there, it's purely political. "oh, we have a problem we don't know how
to solve, here's some red
tape" "tell you what - it's not worth
the risk of dealing with your red
tape AT ALL. see ya". "oh noes! who could have predicted!"
adlai: i hear you get least-positive-bignum points on
the SAT for
this
adlai: what was it
testing, how
to compile and `gpg --gen-keys` ?
BingoBoingo: Test all
the children: "While
the old ISAT
test often saw as many as 95 percent of students meeting or exceeding standards,
the highest-scoring school in St. Clair, Madison, Monroe or Clinton counties was Damiansville Elementary in Clinton County, with a proficiency score of 69.2 percent, and
the lowest-performing school was Lovejoy Elementary in Brooklyn with a proficiency rate of zero."
adlai: if androids dream of dead ghosts masturbating, but no
Tulip cluster simulate
their moans, does
that still constitute spectrofilia?
adlai: fucking robots used
to work, once
adlai: seems
to have stolen a leaf from
the book of ,,seen herbijudlestoids
adlai: forget
the businessman, clergy don't hold a candle
to
the nigerians
assbot: Logged on 12-12-2015 06:01:33; adlai: "The day is quickly approaching where even if someone were
to sign a message using Satoshi's known coin hoard addresses, we should
think
twice about whether
this person actually is Satoshi or not"
mircea_popescu: this is like saying "the pornstar is brunette and
tall." mkay ?
mircea_popescu: "The idea of a federal betting parlour on atrocities and
terrorism is ridiculous and it's grotesque."' << so ?
mircea_popescu: specifically
to get your
two years interdiction, usg needs
to control 99.999% of
the network, and admitting half an exahash was legit
that requires
they get a further 50 or so yotahashes. and
that nobody else does anything.
mircea_popescu: to obtain similar performance
to wires in
this respect [delay only, not in all
the others, you still get bitcoin, rather
than usg-fiat moved around] you need a 0.2%ish of
the network.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform specifically :
to guarantee your
transactions are on average included
the same day, you need control over ~0.5% of
the network.
mircea_popescu: as some derpy woman said, "congrats
to
the winners [which is everyone]"
mircea_popescu: s so decided
to delete it because if deleted it's somehow protected from its meaninglessness.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo basically
the french version of
the redditard decided
that right wing females appreciate macho men. further decided
that all men are
the same, and
that includes him. further decided
that hey, if
they queue up
to kneel for mp, why not for him. figured out
that
this is ridiculous, so instead of doing it wrote about it. everyone [that never does anything] got all excited about it,
then realised it's meaningles
assbot: Logged on 12-12-2015 04:30:25; asciilifeform: 'go ahead and
transmit your
tx
to
the free^H^H^H^Hterrorist world, but be prepared
to wait
two years for a confirmation. or you can send
to u.s. fed miner and get in
the next block.'
BingoBoingo: I gathered
that French libertard liek rape more
than MP. Seriously
that brown people should rape all
the FN women business is what Obama has
to be
thinking.
BingoBoingo: I violenced
the
text until it gave up its salient points.
