asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: nyc didn't look detectably different to naked eye
phf: ben_vulpes: besides you're an american, let the expats bitch and moan :)
ben_vulpes: i think this whole routine of ascii's boils down to "the east coast sucks and more so in direct proportion to DC proximity"
assbot: Logged on 22-04-2015 02:23:24; ascii_lander: in usa perhaps 1 in 10 20-30y.o. females has the face of a human being, rather than a malignant motorized plastic doll
asciilifeform was brain-melted when visiting the distant lands where gurlz look like people, in apr. '14 and '15
phf: ben_vulpes: also beach in san diego was a lot more pleasant overall then the one in ocean city md, so it must be east coast thing
mircea_popescu: maybe the east coast sucks this bad
phf: ben_vulpes: i wasn't talking about "dates"
ben_vulpes: i have a wife, wear a ring, and dates are *still* very easy to procure
phf: cool thanks!
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> ^ absolute iron SOP in usa << i do not get this attitude of yourn
ben_vulpes: phf: running and logging the CS install
mircea_popescu: they seem more akin to the counterfeit "collabolators" of soviet era.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` these actually exist ?
chetty: they listen to their peers, or at least behave as they do
nubbins`: since they encountered enough nasty pervs to realize?
mircea_popescu: since when do adolescent women listen to anyone.,
mircea_popescu: chetty the mindboggling thing is that they'd buy it.
nubbins`: i actually went back to browse the BME community website thing
chetty: <phf> i thought maybe it's from too much internet, but no,/usa girls are taught that all men are nasty pervs and must be avoided, and even those who dont buy it must behave like that in groups
mircea_popescu: nubbins` did i leave out the psychoactives or somewhing ? whence the protest ? :D
mircea_popescu: phf it's funny to me, as a purely unconvinced observer of "culture" as a feeding epiphenomena, to notice just how fundamentally workable the whole species is. does it want a war ? it'll fucking fix the demographics and get it, and you can write any book you want - it'll help!
nubbins`: <+mircea_popescu> nubbins` i always thought you're like the only cypherpunk here you know. <<< wat
phf: i thought maybe it's from too much internet, but no, there was a group of girls that acted like normal human beings, coy and playful and active. turned out they were slovenian ☟︎
phf: well, you're not experiencing it directly, and it seems palpable here, in the real world. like i went to a beach a few weeks ago in americatown (ocean city, md) and the vibes are just nasty. sluggish girls with stooped shoulders avoiding any sort of eye contact or making nasty faces at you if you linger on them too long ☟︎
mircea_popescu: like the nut tree's toxic.
phf: no, 2 and 3. i was saying that 3 is toxic and oppressive
mircea_popescu: i was comparing 2 and 3. were you thinking of 1 ?
mircea_popescu: so, i see three things. 1) the actual rape culture as seen in "women are cattle" vory outlook on life and derivatives ; 2) the so-called "rape culture" wherein male dominance is generally recognised as natural within some bounds ; 3) the libertard nonsense, a recent reimplementation of the ancient socialist "great leaps forward".
mircea_popescu: i think we'd greatly benefit from defining things here, i'm getting confused.
phf: i hope so, because the whole thing is toxic and oppressive
mircea_popescu: phf "rapeworld". just because english tards use words doesn't mean much.
assbot: Logged on 28-05-2015 03:27:41; asciilifeform: generally these folks have better sense than to come here.
phf: mircea_popescu: you mean sane culture has a decade left to it? i've noticed the whole rapeworld thing happening to russian girls
n6: shinohai: i'm not trolling
mircea_popescu: i don't think it's got a decade into it left anyway
mircea_popescu: so the world as reflected in their eyes doesn't actually suck the way it does for usian born and bred.
mircea_popescu: phf gotta appreciate they grew up in a sane culture. you know, malecentric rapeworld of doom-evil thing.
shinohai not sure if trolling ....
phf: most romanian girls i've met on the east coast were doing work exchange at beach towns. they are very friendly and talkative because americans seemed to be scared of approaching them
n6: and the govorment
mircea_popescu: who paid the bills ?
assbot: Logged on 08-08-2015 17:15:00; n6: It means I didn't read to learn just read for enjoyment or until something got hard and gave up.
shinohai: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-08-2015#1231075 <<< That's the answer! Give up when it gets hard! ☝︎
mircea_popescu: very simple math in my head, "is this one doing a better job at X than the last/best one we saw to date". obviously in empty lines this is trivial. also perhaps not for everyone.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the first one's always instructive.
n6: It means I didn't read to learn just read for enjoyment or until something got hard and gave up. ☟︎
asciilifeform: what's it mean to 'read selectively' ?
asciilifeform has several colleagues who didn't finish school, they put the time to good use
asciilifeform: n6: what did you do with the time you won ?
n6: seems to have caught up with me in the end.
n6: and before that never did any work.
n6: woudln't know never went to school asciilifeform dropped out in the 7th grade.
phf: i need to reverse a list in lisp - use nreverse - no i need to do it manually!
shinohai: Well that sux. I can't be of much help when it comes to gentoo tho :/
asciilifeform has nothing against n00bz, but has the distinct feeling of watching primary school pupils banging on the door of a university maths dept for help with arithmetic homework.
n6: it's missing on my gentoo install and need to install some wifi ethernet is broken.
n6: thanks shinohai, but not sure anyone is around who can help me, going to do some reading.
n6: ok ttyl thanks for letting me come back.
n6: I need to compile it here and move it to there
mircea_popescu: isn't that lsusb ?
mircea_popescu: the usb lister thing ?
n6: Got so much help from everyone in here, that was the only way I could even get the install working. even after reading docs for hours. need similar help here.
n6: where do I learn how to do that?
mircea_popescu: (hostile messages won't be awarded points) << lol how da fuck do you police that.
mircea_popescu: mno. just recommended him to give them something to do hopefully less retarded than what they were doing at the time.
n6: mircea_popescu: didn't you teach some kids how to use gentoo with RagnarDanneskjol ?
n6: seems a shame to come all this way and not finish the job.
assbot: [OPEN] Callgraph for therealbitcoin, in SVG format. on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1MXrqQ2 )
n6: mircea_popescu: I'm still working on getting the callgraph http://trilema.com/2015/open-callgraph-for-therealbitcoin-in-svg-format/#comment-114958 working but seem to have lost my lsub file, on my gentoo install and need to build it on os x and move it over to my gentoo distro. think you could help me with that?
mircea_popescu: "how do we do this, we don't have a lot of money to spend on it" "just pick a significant number, that's how mp always does it. people will think hey, it's metasyntactic!"
mircea_popescu: The sum of Bitcoin prizes in the challenge is 3.14159265 BTC. hahaha
wywialm: ah, in case you, the assetteers, are interested - Quedex is running beta testing combined with trading challenge. Participation is greatly welcomed as well as any feedback
n6: Yes, do you forgive me for being an idiot and trying to fuck up what your building with derping around?
mircea_popescu: (yes, back when i was 10 kids went to the cinema on their own. fancy that.)
mircea_popescu: i didnmt think to ask for a gpg sig. bought her an icecream and we even kissed!
mircea_popescu: tell you what, wen i was about 10 a girl that really liked me in schooil called me on the phone pretending to be this other girl i really liked, and she tricked me into meeting at the movies.
shinohai: tl;dr use wot next time
mircea_popescu: so what, i'm the patron saint of sane ops ?
n6: I didn't interact with my first friend using gpg auth so someoen else just stepped in and was able too..
mircea_popescu: n6 either i'm slow today or something's amiss. i don't get what exactly you think you did wrong from this story.
wywialm: sure, when technical stuff is ready i will let you know
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i always thought you're like the only cypherpunk here you know.
n6: nubbins` for good reason... but he was the only person around my level I could find to talk about this with.
mircea_popescu: wywialm well i'm not entirely sure how that'd work, not like i'm against it or anything. but gotta come up with something specific.
wywialm: anyway, thank you for your comments
n6: he isnt my friend he was someone pretending to be
n6: even showed me how to save a post on my desktop.... into a pdf
n6: more then 5
n6: I couldn't help him, thought he would do some reading on his own but all he wanted me to do was save posts for him to read.
nubbins`: i have 5 bucks says MP is getting a woman to read this back to him later
mircea_popescu: n6 how would you help him then ?
assbot: Trust relationship from user mircea_popescu to user n6: Level 1: 0, Level 2: 1 via 1 connections. |http://www.btcalpha.com/wot/trust/?from=mircea_popescu&to=n6 | http://www.btcalpha.com/wot/user/n6/
n6: he was also asking me to rep him in the wot ( told him he had to do that on his own )
mircea_popescu: wywialm i'm not required to allow trading of options. for as long as you hold some of the underlying, you can structure its ownership in any way you wish. such as through trading options on it.
n6: told him I wouldn't have anything to do with fiat only bitcoin and we would have to move out of the states to do it.
n6: he still wanted to do it
n6: we had a longer friendship then 3/mo and he was the one who told me about bitcoin forums (how i found out about mpoe-pr). anyway once I got to nyc, saw we both didnt know anything so pretty much told him I couldnt keep keys and we would lose all our money
wywialm: second, is the stock options mentioned above - would you allow to issue options on S.MPOE, or would you allow creating an MPEx index to issue derivatives on it?
mircea_popescu: wywialm it's not an illegitimate approach. i can't evaluate how practically useful it'll be, but then again that's what you folks are in for right ?
