assbot: Logged on 14-09-2015 16:23:57; thestringpuller: why not just build delivery into the contract
as a fail-safe...
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-09-2015#1273847 << cuz at the time it wasn't exactly clear how this'd work (
as the contract is a future on a yet nonexistent pair) and cuz i wanted it to be a negotiable instrument rather than a specified thing, specifically because that sort of vague future deal requires some room to wiggle.
☝︎ thestringpuller: trinque: cause he's elusive
as fuck. I'd have to track him down between his meth binges in New York.
mats: fun fact: gpg's serialization layer uses s-expressions rather than asn.1 and
as a result, despite being hand-rolled in C, there doesn't appear to be any memory corruption in canonical mode
☟︎ gernika: ascii_field: strange to hear -
as my memory of my experience reading it sometime in junior high school was that of complete enthrallment. But then again - who is a 13 year old to judge?
ascii_field: BingoBoingo: describe
as what they are, win7 and 8 boxen
BingoBoingo: ascii_field: Would it really be accurate to describe the things
as computers?
trinque: and Charlie Rose well represents the assumption that the rest of the world should see themselves
as subject to the USA
thestringpuller: trinque: based on current canon bizarro-land is also known
as canada or
as clark tells jimmy "Tell him is Bizzarro-America"
ascii_field: for something touted
as 'de-shitgnomized' unix, openbsd is uncommonly eager to pull the crud along
ascii_field:
as in, if you got one
as a birthday gift, it would be good for perhaps one or two sorties, if that.
ascii_field: '"To address cyber-security concerns, we ensure that all your conversations are transmitted in encrypted form," he wrote. "The key is that we do this without compromising ease of use and content discovery."
As we now know, at least part of that "content discovery" now includes investitgators' searching for evidence of malfeasance.'
thestringpuller: WoT seems to work
as advertised. Usagi completely vanished after Pete's assassination of him.
shinohai: Also, if the anton_osika guy reads these logs, please note there is no such word in the English language
as "unprobabilistically "
mircea_popescu: maybe 1% or so is the best you can hope for,
as a human.
mircea_popescu: <gernika> I feared
as much. << the objection is valid, and in no way different from "you can have a working os, i sort-of have one here, it's made out of 400 pieces and i could maybe remake it if i had a week off."
assbot: Logged on 12-09-2015 20:29:47; mircea_popescu: but V is the best simulation of how actual math learning happens (in those brains actually capable to learn math) that we ever had
as a fucking species.
trinque:
as it stands I'd like to go back to an addressing system for flat text with the option of involving more code
as I see fit
nubbins`: "Assays of GD bars are determined by the refiner at the point of manufacture. An assay is likely only to be checked again when a bar is used
as raw material in a refinery, for example, for the manufacture of small bars or in a plant manufacturing products like jewellery."
danielpbarron: if you're reaaaly good, you plan your levels out so
as to not get stuck in battles at all
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> mp's argument is hey if you're refugeeing, tanzania is just
as good
as anywhere else << no. my argument is that if you're refugeeing, where you go to refugee discriminates you. if you go to the eu, you're a scumbag. if you go to tanzania, you're somebody.
nubbins`: mp's argument is hey if you're refugeeing, tanzania is just
as good
as anywhere else
thestringpuller: can't make this dumb up: "surprise surprise. This was already brought up here about 3 months ago. Unfortunately with the Coinwallet Stress Test the other Altcoin businesses will use the results
as a casestudy when they pitch their own blockchain to Fidelity, Citibank ,etc etc."
mircea_popescu: suppose your wife dies in a car crash next year. which can happen,
as it happens thousands of times each year. was it the kid's failurew that did it ? no ? how do you know ?
trinque: and not
as if this was all the time; I didn't like it, you see :P
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 21:26:22; trinque: god yes, lets project our weakness
as far
as possible into space
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 21:04:22; cazalla: goes beyond the parents these days though, kids are seen
as owned by the community and all that shit, i expect to meet a lot of opposition and resistance in the years ahead
trinque: mircea_popescu: looked up the levels; I must've stopped at 29,
as I recall the water
trinque: mircea_popescu:
as the concept of the WoT sunk in it occurred to me that we have very weak social connections here in american meatspace too
mircea_popescu: i am genuinely expecting to see white teens on the open market in the sub-btc range
as a result of all this, which is all the better.
gribble: (seen [<channel>] <nick>) -- Returns the last time <nick> was seen and what <nick> was last seen saying. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent on the channel itself. <nick> may contain *
as a wildcard.
anton_osika: But I'm not giving up just yet.
As the real antonosika wherever he is does deserve his payment...
anton_osika: The meaning of GPG contracts are being defined
as we speak,
as of those being honoured and those who are not, and I think you might agree that it is a better contract if it can -
as any other contract between to individuals - be honoured in good faith aka. when fulfilled beyond reasonable doubt.
anton_osika: So I would say that a payment - if I deliver some sort of verification - would strengthen the credibility of MP.
As well
as bitcoin-assets
as a whole.
nubbins`: you're trying to cross an international border using a high school diploma
as photo ID.
nubbins`:
as you are not in the correct place
anton_osika: My case is that in any contract - such
as one with a bank - an identity boils down to what is tru without any probable doubt.
trinque: anton_osika: you might
as well be my buddy pleading with his corrupted LUKS header
anton_osika: Before I continue the venture of my identity tomorrow: Since the contract states my name - what is it that says that it is not enough
as long
as it is uniquely identifiable beyond all probable doubts?
anton_osika: mircea_popescu: Well my situation is regarding my life savings so it does matter a bit less
as of now.
gribble: Nick 'nubbins`', with hostmask 'nubbins`!~leel@unaffiliated/nubbins', is identified
as user 'nubbins`', with GPG key id CF2950F23C844002, key fingerprint 5015BD3D0AE659C8B8632F31CF2950F23C844002, and bitcoin address None
mircea_popescu: there exists no suych thing
as "physical credibility".
anton_osika: My aim was to settle this with
as much of my physical credibility at stake
as possible. Which is why Anton Osika is my real username, with everything publicaly available on me (I'm in the phonebook). If ones physical identity can be a backup for WoT then it might strengthen WoT.
anton_osika: mircea_popescu: I see it
as encouraging for new users to use WoT without being afraid.
anton_osika: I see it
as fingerprints
as a tool for simplifying proofs of physical identities, not replacing them. Might be good for the sake of lowering worries when entering contracts to be able to specify point of delivery, if unquestioned, with an alternative identification?
trinque: god yes, lets project our weakness
as far
as possible into space
☟︎ cazalla: kids are sorta like housing in that you're expected to pay for it, look after it, maintain it but in no way can you actually do what you want with it because you don't really own it..
as mentioned here many times
cazalla: goes beyond the parents these days though, kids are seen
as owned by the community and all that shit, i expect to meet a lot of opposition and resistance in the years ahead
☟︎ cazalla: at least that is what i've observed with my own son.. telling him no does seem to encourage the behaviour more, so we usually ignore or draw
as little attention to it
as possible
nubbins`:
as if "take you" has any meaning to a toddler
nubbins`:
as if being not very nice is a thing this animal would abhor
danielpbarron: oh and I think I have a "3ds" that someone left with me
as collateral over a bitcoin deal and later said keep it
nubbins`: might
as well suggest the refugees head to usa.
nubbins`:
as if anyone in the fucking world wants to live in saudi arabia
nubbins`:
as if you can't buy a used smartphone for $100
nubbins`:
as if the mattresses were not brought there by local citizens
nubbins`:
as if somehow it makes more sense to bring a goddamn mattress on a train instead of your only link to the outside world
nubbins`: most of the cost is in components; a frame is a frame (to some extent), but having your brake discs machined vs stamped from sheet makes a big difference for longevity
as well
as maintenance
nubbins`: $100 will buy you what is commonly referred to
as a BSO -- a Bicycle-Shaped Object
nubbins`: asciilifeform: re: the cost of bicycles -- i'm reminded of your rant about how in computing, there's no "professional grade equipment", i.e. people who code for a living are using the same hw
as people who check facebook all day long
assbot: Logged on 03-01-2015 20:01:05; ascii_modem: for the record, 'clos' is,
as of today, the only non-retarded incarnation of that concept yet built
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 09:38:51; mircea_popescu: i don't really see oo bullshit
as anything more than wank, but then again that's me.

☟︎ cazalla: Naphex, not even worth your time, they want to be scammed - my mother is/was into John Edwards
as is an aunty, and they rave about him, went to a live show and all
Naphex: he is scamming europeans
as a tranvestite
pete_dushenski: "The old Celtic practice today known
as chasse au brame, troat-hunting, involved placing a rutting stag in a U-shaped trap of trees and nets; when the stag began to troat, does and other stags would approach and be caught."
pete_dushenski: then again, i almost certainly don't push them
as hard
as you do
ben_vulpes: explicating // to new macbooks left
as exercise for logreaders
pete_dushenski: 'designed in germany' but fuck, might
as well be 'designed by apple in california'
mircea_popescu: iirc my grandfather only got
as far
as the tatra mountains
mircea_popescu: but you can spend
as much
as you want to spend on a bike. consumer item.
