trinque: I'd expect Java is also fucked along
that border, among other places
funkenstein_: I always considered java
to be like "C++ for dummies"
trinque: ben_vulpes: and yes
this whole
thing runs into pragmatism vs pure science, no?
trinque: ben_vulpes: nah but
they're smaller
trinque: I personally know I'll never have a clear picture of what
the VM and
the machine underneath are doing *while* writing a program
ascii_field: because
the entire ecosystem of it is a kind of zoo for idiots and
their idiocies
ben_vulpes: so java has an asym library, does
that shell out
to gpg as well?
jurov: some ppl are allergic
to it
mircea_popescu: bitcoin gotta have a
total lolcow at all
times lest it collapses into itself.
mircea_popescu: hearn being around makes me not even miss armandi or
taaki all
that much.
funkenstein_: nice article
thanks jurov. "I'll
take Regulatory Capture for 400 millies, Alex"
funkenstein_: ;;google
that's what happens when you call
the cops
phf: su/sudo vfs would be handy for copying files between users without having
to adjust permissions or escalate
to superuser. one pane is user foo, other pane is user bar. doesn't matter if foo's pane is in 700 folder, and if you were
to copy, file will be created as belonging
to user bar, with his umask applied

shinohai: I
thought mc switched you
to a
terminal and asked for pass when you input sudo commands.
mircea_popescu: to everyone's surprise, usg is
the main driver of all
things
the usg "fights against".
mircea_popescu: the way modern warfare works, you don't want planes and regular soldiers. you want missiles and partisans. and you don't aim
to kill
the enemy, you aim
to maim as many as possible and encourage
them
to keep coming.
the situation where US population is up 200mn and US war invalid population is up 50mn is a greater win for isis
than
the situation where
the us population is 0.

assbot: Logged on 04-09-2015 04:10:21; wilbns: it, you're
talking about a minimum of 2-3 days
to acquire
the BTC, pass KYC/AML, etc. probably could have spent 20-30 minutes
to just go
to an m-pesa
teller.
mircea_popescu: "While I agree
that not everyone is bad, I'll suggest
that
the number of bad people involved in bitcoin so far exceeds
the number of bad people in other organizations
that
the whole system isn't working. I'm starting
to consider whether people were wrong about
the "decentralization" issue. Is it possible
that decentralization was
tried, and it is being proven right now
that it simply doesn't work because

trinque: lemme rephrase "pretty bad",
the concussion is a big part of
the internal damage
trinque: want
to say I watched a docu about
that
trinque: mats:
the concussion is pretty bad
too right?
wilbns: was in new york a while back and at
the airport,
there were maybe a couple dozen guys,
they all look like
they just graduated high school. all w/ manila folders in hand, waiting, heading off
to boot camp - all making small
talk w/ one another. looked like
they didn't know each other very well. was imaging how
there lives were going
to change and wondering if
mats: more expensive

the slightest

that doesn't help much with a good IED

phf: "Adjusting your approach

the other around
their necks

that is what

mats: I've
thrown away every coin I ever got.
mats: I have heard
this, didn't believe it

think I'll get one, never considered how useful it would be until now
phf: "guys, guys,
there's
this guy in dc who's going

trinque: to
the extent
that
they comprehend what it does, great, use it
trinque: the point here isn't
to package bitcoin into some easily inserted suppository for everyone
funkenstein_: wilbns, if so,
this applies as well in switzerland
wilbns: funkenstein_: yes, but most people on
the street don't care as long as
their money is worth
the same
today as it is yesterday and
they can still go buy a relative equivalent of whatever with it
tomorrow.
funkenstein_: wilbns,
the point is - m-pesa guys can issue as many as
they want. it's private and counterfeitable
wilbns: it, you're

☟︎ wilbns: funkenstein_: maybe m-pesa could utilize
the
tech for more efficient settlement of
transactions. if someone just wants
to send money
to grandma or someone else in
the next
town,
though, it's a bit of a hassle
to suggest bitcoin. unless one party already has it,
then
they can sent it
to bitpesa and
they'll deliver it
to
the m-pesa number. if neither party has
mats: >t its heart,
this calculator is an emulator of
the HP-15C (running on an ARM processor, although a different family from what HP is using in
the ARM-based current-production 12C and
the 15C Limited Edition), and
therefore has largely
the same feature set and user interface as a real 15C.
phf: i'm actually confused by
that site
mats: guess I'll pencil it in at
the bottom of my programming projects
mats: I dun see any good android imitations of
this concept
mats: if only
there was another cs calculator on
the market
