ascii_field: and i don't
think i am alone among
thinking people in
this position on paywalls.
☟︎ thestringpuller: ascii_field: do you subscribe
to any magazines (even if
they're comic books)?
assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 15:53:41; mircea_popescu: jurov no one is even buying
the bitbet spot.. says something about bitcoin economy << or about advertising.
ascii_field: but
then again i don't go in for consorting with strangers at all, so nobody-asked-me (tm)
ascii_field: (the people who
think
they need
this, are
the ones you least want
to meet. almost by definition.)
assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 15:44:20; mircea_popescu: <funkenstein_> re: xxxotica,
the name sound like made for derps, and advertised
to start at 8pm. iirc restaurants down
there don't open until after
that - for lunch <<
there isn't a bunchy of
these
things
to pick one from.
this was
THE ONLY
THING HAPPENING
THAT DAY IN
THE WHOLE 12 MILLION STRONG "CITY"
jurov: there are only
two: asciilifeform_add_verifyall_option.vpatch asciilifeform_maxint_locks_corrected.vpatch , right?
punkman: and he's 24/7
too because he works all night
ascii_field: jurov: for now let's have
the ones i've signed ?
punkman: found random hole in
the wall ice cream maker
this summer
punkman: but nothing of
the sort
to be found anywhere else
thestringpuller: ascii_field: you gotta find a local chocolatier,
the one near my house has access
to "real chocolate"
jurov: got v.pl working.. now you want
the poor listbox in lxr
to show *all* patches ever?
ascii_field: anyway it remains simple
to get actual chocolate, at least near major urban centers in usa (where ru immigrants live.) but as an ~ingredient~ it has become very scarce. i've largely given up on ice cream, for instance.
pete_dushenski: as long a
the goal of 'chocolatiers' is more people,
that's what
they'll get
pete_dushenski: and disproportionately more customers are
to be had at 1/3 cost. non-linear effect.
pete_dushenski: ascii_field pretty much
that. and lose 'market share' instantly
to
those who don't add zero
ascii_field: thing is, it is necessary
to explain why i can get ru chocolate (and without breaking a sweat, really) at some mere 3x
☟︎ pete_dushenski: same story
today. chocolate exists, but only at $maxint
ascii_field: i suppose
they picked between soy oil and 'add a zero
to
the price'
pete_dushenski: which is really
the same situation as ww1 germany, you could have coffee at SOME price, just not one
that anyone but
the chancellor can afford.
ascii_field: see, if
this were, e.g., ww1 germany, and we were grinding up acorns and making 'coffee' from
this, it would make some kind of sense - because british naval blockade.
ascii_field: why
the orc world has not cottoned on
to
the fraud, is unknown
to me
assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 05:19:47; BingoBoingo: For a while Hershey was advertising
that shit as chocolate... since
the ruling
they just don't sell chocolate now, just "chocolate product"
assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 06:35:14; mircea_popescu: he certainly wasn't poor, but
that's as far as
that goes.
assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 06:33:53; mircea_popescu: "Washington was a land developer, often described as
the richest of his generation. By
the end of
the American Revolution, General Washington controlled about sixty
thousand acres of land" << and
there lies
the debunk. it's
true
that george washington was well off. it's
true he controlled some
tens of k's of acres. it is UNTRUE
that made him "richest in his generation".
pete_dushenski: "Alphabet beat earnings estimates by 14 cents with Q3 profit of $7.20 a share. Advertising revenue on its Google sites pushed sales
to rise 13%
to $18.68 billion." << stock +9%
today
ascii_field: what? your computer is from 2007 and you expect
to use it a decade from now?
terrorist!
ascii_field: the mega-vlsi of recent years was bought with
the price of 'don't expect
to run
this chip for more
than a few years'
assbot: Logged on 25-06-2015 05:53:02; asciilifeform: not
to mention
the 'wriggleysgumizations' introduced by
the shrinkage
ascii_field: (i write a patch, sign it,
throw in
the hopper, everyone who has my name
ticked - sees a
tree with
that patch applied. but OLD LINKS MUST CONTINUE
TO WORK)
ascii_field: and, ideally, eventually we will have a
thing
that eats'em in real
time and doesn't need human hands
to update
ascii_field: jurov:
thing is, every
time a new patch comes
to exist,
this is a new version.
mod6: yeah, ok. let me just press something
together and send it
to you so you can see.
jurov: anyway, i don't have any idea how you want it
to be laid out. lxr's idea of versions is just a flat list.
mod6: and "press" will output
this automatic patching process
to an output directory. I could bundle
that up and send it
to you if
that's what you mean?
jurov: that's easiest
to plug in. alternatively,
there is git support
mod6: so with V, you can use a command called "press"
that will patch up
through a given HEAD.
assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 15:34:43; mircea_popescu: PeterL i space question marks but
that's really my mental problem, nobody else.
assbot: Logged on 23-10-2015 15:30:24; mircea_popescu: <danielpbarron> and I don't get
the space between
the last word of a sentence and
the punctuation <<
the wut ?!
jurov: mod6 or whoever - if you can produce one version from V per directory, it's
trivial
to add
to lxr
kakobrekla: No VAT on bitcoin or bitcoin exchange fees in
the EU.
PeterL: kakobrekla: your link says bitcoin
transactions are VAT exempt?
pete_dushenski: "Our 36 years of continuous growth and success has been driven by our consistent willingness
to reimagine our future" << heh
☟︎ pete_dushenski: because competing with gawker for worthless eyeballs means
that YOU'RE WORTHLESS
TOO
mod6: ah, ok for
the meantime we'll just get lxr back up and going... we'll just need
to be quick on
the update for authorized/btcf signed leafs
ascii_field: (or
they will
turn into nonsense with every new patch)
ascii_field: (and i've no
time
to make a proper job of it)
mod6 wonders if we need
to build our own source code browser based on V
ascii_field: but now it will have
to wait, until i can link
to lines of code.
mod6: thanks for
taking a close look at
that, much appreciated.
ascii_field: all of
this is because i wanted
to show funkenstein why his patch is catastrophically mistaken
ascii_field: because i can't link
to individual lines of code
there.
☟︎ ascii_field: mod6: also doxygen, contrary
to my first
thoughts, is 100% worthless
mod6: ascii_field: yeah following
the leafs would be ideal.
jurov: no idea, must check
the server
mod6: oh, i didn't know
that one was down. jurov any
thoughts on
that?
felipelalli: Also
the "gang noise™", "turminha do barulho".
Zuardi: felipelalli somehow recently I ended up on
trilema, link of link of a link
felipelalli: Zuardi, Jampa didn't work with me. I guess we know each other while we both were subscribed
to "radinho de pilha"
then "webees" email list.
HeySteve: well, I've accepted a freelance writing contract for
this weekend so I can't make any immediate changes. if someone is interested in editing it, I
think it's worth doing before Banx assumes its next form
☟︎ assbot: Successfully added a rating of 1 for felipelalli with note:

mircea_popescu: here's how a qntrable 3 would look :
the first hardfork occured on x date, y days after launch, and did z.
the second x' y' did z'.
the
third etc. and now coming soo nthe nth, doing etc"
mircea_popescu: here's how a qntrable 2 would look : "The original business plan said "X, Y and Z" in relevant part, and it attracted ~10 BTC.
Then it was changed
to "nonY and cvasi Z no mention of X" leaving
the original investors hanging.
HeySteve: it was originally
titled: BanxShares: BitAsset or BitLiability?
mircea_popescu: i have
to dig it out of you with irons
that "hey, i researched
this for five days,
there's
three dozen wrong
things" ? why, because you hate
the world ?
mircea_popescu: not
that
this specific FORM is required, but do you follow
the LOGIC involved ?
mircea_popescu: well, so why was your piece not
titled "36 red flags... you can
take
these
to
the Banx" ?
HeySteve: yes 36, not
that I'm an expert in spotting scams but it seems clear
this is a company
to be avoided
HeySteve: no I didn't make up a number, I covered all
the data and
tallied
the red flags as I went
mircea_popescu: that problem being... did you just MAKE UP A NUMBER ? in a discussion about an article
that you submitted which was rejected for being very poorly written, which you wish
to interpret as political, or stylistical, or anything but what
the actual problem is ?
HeySteve: 3.
the hardforks with another one coming as soon as
this weekend
HeySteve: 2.
the business plan which drew in investors has been changed
HeySteve: well ok, 1.
the ICO was sustained for a year+ because it didn't raise
the projected revenue
