shinohai: i have one of those light switches w/ android
mircea_popescu: "1965 hey look at this, they make houses out plastic now / 1985 bleh, my house is made out of plastic / 2005 i wish i could get a house not made of plastic"
assbot: Logged on 25-09-2015 07:02:45; punkman: 2005: look at this, I can get my toaster to run Linux! / 2015: bleh, my toaster runs Linux / 2025: I wish I could get a toaster without Linux
mircea_popescu: if there weren't a pile of these "we"s running around, people^H^H^H^H reddit wouldn't be puzzling in the land of the lost "omaigawd bitcoinxt" etc.
mircea_popescu: "we" don't need random derp on youtubue to rehash what mp says a year-two later forgetting to mention the source. not because mp gives a shit, but because the sort of "we" that actually end up thinking their plastics are "made in the usa" generally get raped and can't figure out why.
mircea_popescu: to get to the point : it is not a valuable service to try and interpose oneself in front of actual power and pretend relationship. nor could it ever be. nor is it a sane or useful "strategy", nor does it ever work worth a shit.

assbot: Logged on 25-09-2015 04:36:30; brg444: cazalla, well he's wrong on a couple of things but I think it is a valuable service to remind everyone of why Bitcoin is there and how much money was wasted targeting broken business plans

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-09-2015#1285441 << dudes that go "we" on youtube ARE the smell. ☝︎
shinohai: BitPay has reduced the size of its staff in an effort to recoup losses due to inept management that lead to hax.
shinohai: 'tis hilarious though, a righteous lampoon.
cazalla: shinohai, she gives the subtle troll away at 1:01
punkman: "Anas Aremeyaw Anas is known for, as he calls it, the “naming, shaming and jailing” of criminals all over Ghana – yet few people would be able to pick him out of a crowd." ☟︎

punkman: you got a point there, but perhaps the movement always exists, a counterweight to "progress"
fluffypony: no I know, I'm just saying that the "I wish I could get a toaster without Linux" movement has already started :-P
punkman: nothing wrong with that
fluffypony: punkman: the "retro" crap has already started, have you seen that Casio calculator that was released?
punkman: 2005: look at this, I can get my toaster to run Linux! / 2015: bleh, my toaster runs Linux / 2025: I wish I could get a toaster without Linux ☟︎

cazalla: ;;later tell brg444 when i said this podcast, i meant his podcast, not that specific one you linked to on jewtube
brg444: anyways, thought there was some interesting nuggets in there (switzerland exchange and the little bit about how Venezuelans using BTC to escape capital control)
brg444: (although it does look funny in the light now considering he's an investor in Bitpay)
brg444: cazalla, well he's wrong on a couple of things but I think it is a valuable service to remind everyone of why Bitcoin is there and how much money was wasted targeting broken business plans ☟︎
mod6: asciilifeform: ok, done this now. created 'test-release.vpatch' which has incoming edges from all current leaves; this was a decent test for my code too.

deedbot-: [BitBet Bets Bets] 1.00000000 BTC on 'Yes' - Malaysian Ringgit to continue collapse - http://bitbet.us/bet/1207/malaysian-ringgit-to-continue-collapse/#b3
brg444: about that, of course "there is nothing new in this world" but I thought this part was particularly lulzy : dude was having lunch with the power rangers (adam back, gmaxwell & gavin) and asked "why do we hire Bitcoin" to which Back & Maxwell replied "monetary sovereignty" and Gavin "because I feel warm and fuzzy when I make a payment".. smh
brg444: judging by the way he was going in on the lad likely the smell he refers to is Gavin :D
brg444: (obviously that would likely not include MPEX)
cazalla: ooh that smell
brg444: says there is supposedly a BTC exchange in Switzerland moving more BTC than all exchanges combined but staying on the low because of FATCA
assbot: Trace Mayer: "We need to remove the smell from bitcoin" - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1LBcoQ8 )

assbot: I thought I told you not to touch me.
assbot: Good morning, may you serve the Lord, and may His holy dominion guide you through your dismal life.
BingoBoingo: Just seems to be stuck in this range of prices
gribble: (ticker [--bid|--ask|--last|--high|--low|--avg|--vol] [--currency XXX] [--market <market>|all]) -- Return pretty-printed ticker. Default market is Bitfinex. If one of the result options is given, returns only that numeric result (useful for nesting in calculations). If '--currency XXX' option is given, returns ticker for that three-letter currency code. It is up to you to make sure (1 more message)
mircea_popescu: a) shouldn't have got fat ; b) when the other sluts went to the twerking class, you should have been there already.

cazalla: mircea_popescu, pdf reads better as it is clear where the blackouts are (everywhere), perhaps i should've taken screencaps instead

Pierre_Rochard: for the record: http://indexventures.com/news-room/news/bitcoin-payments-pioneer-bitpay-raises-record-30m-in-series-a-led-by-index-ventures
mircea_popescu: anyway. all the derps that wanna say things about how a non-bitcoin company's management reflects poorly on anything but the well known, amply documented and oft discussed ineptitude of the VC circus : feel free to suck a cock.

mod6: am I understanding that correctly?
mircea_popescu: they mostly like to write ~about~ things.
