pete_dushenski: iirc i just offered him a btc outright just
to play with
pete_dushenski: y'know i can't even recall if i made him
that offer before i was in b-a or not
shinohai: Taleb rejected your offer of a BTC just
to show up?
pete_dushenski wonders if
there'd be any action on a bitbet as
to whether
taleb shows up here in
the next year
pete_dushenski: " Note
that it costs only a few dollars a day for someone
to zap systematically suspicious posters who have not participated on
this page before." -herr
taleb, apparently learning
to deal better with
trolls and other internet phenomena
pete_dushenski: "The free-market system has salient flaws and hidden benefits. All other systems have hidden flaws and salient benefits." -herr
taleb
pete_dushenski: 'specially if you're on
the wrong side of 50 a la
taleb
pete_dushenski: it hasn't brought either of
them here yet but
the internet's a big place
shinohai: Good article pete_dushenski I hadn't read
that on Sexy Saffron

shinohai: I modified my juice box
to pick up whispers and cheat at cut and paste.
punkman: you should sponsor a hackathon at
the local kindergarten
fluffypony: I've been
trying
to recruit a 3-year-old from a few houses down, but
the parents keep looking at me funny and
taking
their kid inside when I bring
the paperwork for him
to sign
fluffypony: punkman: some 14 year old kid, it's all a competition
to see who has
the youngest staff
punkman: who's
the CTO of Fuckistania?
fluffypony: what's
the point of
titles if
they're meaningless
☟︎ fluffypony: "He's currently
the CTO of Etherparty"
punkman: I quite like
that one
though
shinohai: Welp looks like
that moron chicagoschooler deleted his reddit AND
twitter.

tried
to be economically independent; nearly broke his back

times have changed"
punkman: "It has around 75 staff looking into bitcoin and block chain at offices in Notting Hill and Old Street, close

tell davout You did
test out rotor w/TEST2 or stator
this month right? Or did I mis-remember
that?
trinque: neat
that when looking at
the "flow" of patches you can
tell who has read
the logs of
the project by
the signatures.
☟︎ mats: fun fact:
The x86 BCD instructions have undocumented support for other bases.
☟︎ mats: coincidentally Knuth is responsible for
this keyword
☟︎ mats: or something else, although it is mostly an issue of style (and I
thought alf abhorred py idioms?) so maybe fuck me right
☟︎ trinque: it uses urllib, but deep in
the bowels
punkman: trinque:
try adding a
timeout in
the urllib call
trinque: doesn't look like feedparser has its own knob for
timeout
punkman: trinque:
that might not be HTTP
timeout
cazalla: Vexual, only in
the
temperature, apparently
this winter was
the coldest Melbourne has had in 26 years but spring is here
tomorrow so who cares
punkman: trinque: not uncommon if you don't have
timeouts
trinque: maybe
the python RSS guy needs a
timeout; I'll mess with it
mircea_popescu: anyway, gents please read
the V, in whatever place you might favour.
punkman: I doubt satoshi expected bitcoin
to come
this far
tripleslash: At
the end of
the day, Satoshi isn't around
to continue
to shepherd his project (at least by
the satoshi name), so his original vision starts
to lose relevance.
mircea_popescu: or for
that matter,
the original vision of
the founding fathers folks are plainly innocent of
the federalist papers.
mircea_popescu: much like most
that invoke
the original vision of jesus.
tripleslash: I'd bet most
that invoke
the original vision of satoshi haven't even bothered
to read his paper.
mircea_popescu: who actually went
to
the
trouble of writing a letter specifically
to diss xt and
the
two shitheads involved.
Vexual: and
the wavy hand of
the law would send him on his vexed way
tripleslash: I love
that
that
the rallying cry for XT is "But censorship!"
mircea_popescu: "yes,
the forever anal love of your mom's worth well over $10k!"
punkman: I guess
they might
think
that bitcoin comes in physical coins only
mircea_popescu: "hello sir are you carrying more
than $10k in real estate ?"
trinque: I'm just barely curious what
their definition of carrying is, if
they have one.
punkman: "Just landed at SFO, border control saw my @BitX shirt and asked if I was carrying more
than USD10,000 in #bitcoin - how
times have changed"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: what could happen young padawan ? you were on
the wrong side of history. again.
mircea_popescu: nothing about XT outside of "With 58+% of
the miners voting for BIP100 and less
than 1% voting for XT/BIP101. XT doesn't seem likely
to happen (soon). What will happen now?"
sexy_saffron: well I'm going
to go
to bed, but you guys let me know if you want me
to do a custom video! :P sexy_miss_saffron@hotmail.com
gabriel_laddel: in any case, it
tells me if I'm at all interested in
the individual
tripleslash: sexy_saffron: now get some lvl 2
trust in here so you can !up
to assbot
gabriel_laddel: nah, more along
the lines of "I'm a programmer" "orly, do you grok lisp? What
the primary advantages
that haskell's
type system provides? Ada's
test suite: comments?"
mircea_popescu: what's
this, "you from new york, ever heard of joe also from new york"
to
the power of five ?
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: she is involved in
the pornography industry in some capacity?
tripleslash: so if you did echangekey, you need
to decrypt and send back
to gribble via everify otp:blahblahblah
sexy_saffron: what's
the difference between verify and everify?
sexy_saffron: ah ok, it did link me
to a message, which decrypted looks like
the authentication phrase
tripleslash: you use verify/everify depending on which way you're choosing
to go.
tripleslash: when you do
the changekey, it'll either send you a pastebin
that you need
to decrypt or a otp
that you need
to encrypt.
sexy_saffron: it didn't ask me
to sign anything, it just said successful, what's
the next step?
tripleslash: sexy_saffron: [e]changekey is a
two step process. You have
to prove you have
the private key.
sexy_saffron: yeah! I saw he did really well with his hedge fund during
the first crash
