pete_dushenski: asciilifeform:
the carrot dangleth before you, and when you finally
taste it, may
that fateful day come, you'll be in
the unfortunate position of having
to find still another carrot
to chase.
pete_dushenski: craptop was closed, shoulda been asleep, but would magically awake, run, and damn near cook itself
to death in an effort
to be 'pest free'
pete_dushenski: I recently discovered
that MACOS 10.10.2 categorically refuses
to sleep if a video is playing in Chrome.

trinque: asciilifeform: idea being bitcoind uses -connect=proxy and
the proxy handles
the other end?

the "car reportering" scam open?
mircea_popescu: we're miserable and
things must not change so we stay
that way!
mircea_popescu: * asciilifeform equally depressed on ups AND downs, probably
to nobody's great surprise <<< and
this ISN'T a psycological defense!
trinque: you recommend a separate proggy rather
than patch
to bitcoind?

that's not so good. <+asciilifeform> which is not a
thing
that you want. << Ah, ok.
Thanks for looking at it. Instead of using ~/.gnupg, would it be alright
to create a ~/.gpgtmp upon startup and rm ~/.gpgtmp when complete?
mircea_popescu: "True, and disingenous.
Truly disingenous.
They absolutely are "taking responsibility" for
the whole stack, but in
the opposite direction of
that Moldbuggian notion of
the modern bureaucracy dissolving both authority and responsibility across
the whole organization. Apple's working quite well
to gather
the mantle of authority around
themselves while avoiding any responsibility at all for
the work
that
they produce."
mircea_popescu: the narcs are definitely going
to be running mexico going forward.
mircea_popescu: "George Bush was one of
these people as well. An intimate of his machine once described his public behavior
to me,
the long and short of which is
that
the man is excellent at regurgitating
that which had been said
to him or
that he'd heard, and
to stitch
together a pastiche
that can pass for creative conversation, but largely unable
to cook up his own output." << sounds like ivy league.
phf: mod6: original v uses mkdtemp for keyring folder.
the general idea is
that you don't want
to reuse
the keyring folder, since it's a place where state is kept for no good reason. you can make sure on startup
that you also check
that
the folder doesn't exist & clean it up before using it, but..
punkman: "Accused Gulf Cartel boss Juan Manuel Loiza Salinas reassured residents of Reynosa
through a series of banners last week
that he is a drug
trafficker and not a
terrorist."

mircea_popescu: "Phil Schiller, Apple's longtime senior vice president of worldwide marketing5, is waiting for me when I arrive at Building 3 at
the company's Infinite Loop headquarters in Cupertino, California on an unusually warm fall day." motherfucker
these idiots.
mircea_popescu: so here's something for alf : "Through much of
their history US finishing schools emphasized education in
the social graces and de-emphasized scholarship: society encouraged a polished young lady
to hide her intellectual prowess for fear of frightening away suitors. For instance Miss Porter's School in 1843 advertised itself as Miss Porter's Finishing School for Young Ladies—even
though its founder was a noted schola

assbot: Logged on 04-11-2015 14:34:09; mircea_popescu: shinohai here's
the problem : explain
to me
that you are defending "traditional marriage" aka "between a man or a woman" ~for
the principle of
the
thing~ but not at
the same
time "traditional marriage" aka "the husband can
take it whenever he feels like".
they're both
the same
thing.

the husband render
to his wife
the affection due her, and likewise also
the wife
to her husband. 4
The wife does not have authority over her own body, but
the husband does. And likewise
the husband does not have authority over his own body, but
the wife does.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: if anyone was fucktarded enough
to buy into
the scam on its final phase, i would like
to meet
them.
mircea_popescu: consultant @ nothing in particular, doesn't really look
the right age range for
this nuttery.
mircea_popescu: goldbug

shinohai: I know, it appears like diaz or something round here. It only pops up in
there bcuz I follow qntra, et all
mircea_popescu: shinohai popescu is like
the most common romanian name.
mircea_popescu: trinque
this is a gnarly

☟︎ mircea_popescu: solrodar
the problem with precedent and rule based systems is
that you don't know what will happen until it actually happens. i would guess what would happen here would be
the bet gets cancelled and so
the nos get
their btc back
too, and perhaps
the ability of bet starter
to create
that clause gets curtailed.
solrodar: it would be acceptable for bitbet
to destroy it by sending it somewhere provably unspendable, but not
to keep it for
themselves
mircea_popescu: god i hate bucharest. just looking at
that picture... brrrrr. but unrelatedly, if you lived behind one of
those front windows, and
there was a protest at night like
that, wouldn't you fuck
the woman for
the camera ?
solrodar: punkman: in
the absence of any precedent or rule for
this situation, I suppose nobody has a claim on
the money
shinohai wishes
there was an actual "#b-a Bible" written in a religious-styled prose ...
shinohai: marriage hasn't always been historically defined between solely man and woman
though, iirc
mircea_popescu: shinohai here's
the problem : explain
to me
that you are defending "traditional marriage" aka "between a man or a woman" ~for
the principle of
the
thing~ but not at
the same
time "traditional marriage" aka "the husband can
take it whenever he feels like".
they're both

☟︎ mircea_popescu: fluffypony mmyeah, some cattle got burned so now
they want
the mayor in prison. because logically,
that's what matters. when
teh politruks set
the whole country on fire nobody gave a shit, but god help you if some moos get run over.
shinohai: marriage should be like an alliance between friendly nations. Outside of
that it is a horrid concept, as defined in
the us

Tennessee man charged with raping wife in church parking lot: ‘I am your husband, I can get it anytime I want’ << kinda what "the
traditional marriage" institution means innit.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: soo, re mpex :
the
trouble has been identified, i'm pretty sure. will be fixed and
then
tested etc, i expect mpex back before
the weekend.
fluffypony: "32 people died (and a lot more in critical condition) because of a fire in a club last Friday.
The problem is
that
the
the local authorities allowed
that club
to function without even
the most basic fire-precaution measures, which essentially led
to
the fire and
that many victims (150 injured and as i said before quite a few in critical condition). With a bit of a bribe you can do anything in Romania."
trinque: mircea_popescu: in my logs, deedbot's btcd eventually disconnected from 188.68.240.159 and began receiving orphan blocks again. after restarting it, it reconnected
to your node and is receiving blocks normally again
mod6: anyway, if
thats acceptable, I'll see what I can do about it
tonight.
punkman: solrodar: but do
the losing bettors have a claim on
that money?
solrodar: if
there are no winners,
then
the whole
thing is null and void and
the money should be sent back
to where it came from
solrodar: I'd argue
that BitBet is holding
the pool in
trust for
the winners
punkman: solrodar:
that does seem problematic
mod6: <+mircea_popescu>
that's not so good. <+asciilifeform> which is not a
thing
that you want. << Ah, ok.
Thanks for looking at it. Instead of using ~/.gnupg, would it be alright
to create a ~/.gpgtmp upon startup and rm ~/.gpgtmp when complete?
☟︎☟︎ solrodar: I
think
the only fair response would be
to cancel
the whole bet and refund
the other side as well
solrodar: what happens if ALL
the bets on one side are refunded?

time
to read
the logs in
this period
shinohai: dunno mircea_popescu said sumthin in
the lawgs about it crappin out for some unknown reason.
shinohai: think it is down across
the board
Namworld: I'll
try and come back around.
Namworld: It comes with a right
to ~50 BTC from undistributed bankroll. So
there's already a base price of 2.5 BTC per %. and some offers. Although if you want
to make an offer, you should drop a mail at support email or something. Sure our guy would appreciate.
punkman: copypaste: was in
