danielpbarron: aren't you the one that said there should be a market for wives or something?
mircea_popescu: but otp can't sign.
mircea_popescu: in the old days, woman wouldn't generally appear too trustworthy before she had fucked most everyone. but it's a truly complex point to communicate.
danielpbarron: well i've given this some thought, and i just don't see the point of the wife signing anything about it as she should now act as one flesh with her new husband; if she needs something notarized, let him do it for her
danielpbarron: wife doesn't need a key
BingoBoingo: They needn't even pay him money, but proximity to his church Altman
pete_dushenski: from the mines, "The [core] reference client isn't reallly intended to be used as a wallet. It's more for nodes and miners. Use hardware wallets, or electrum, or basically anything other than core for a wallet. If you're running core, just think of it as a node your more secure wallet connects to."
pete_dushenski: don't make me have a prime time tv press conpherence
pete_dushenski: shinohai: my host also just sent me an email apologising for their recent performance and offering next month free as compensation, so i wouldn't be surprised if that was causing the auto-deaths at least.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: A severe anti-optimization of drunkeness is where one doesn't get to pick the parts they remeber.

asciilifeform: i haven't a good why. why won't mircea_popescu do short chicks ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i imagine they'd also have a face you don't care for.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i confess that i haven't the faintest notion what is meant here
mircea_popescu: because of the unspoken "but what if IT breaks ME, you won't fix ME will you".
mircea_popescu: at about the same time, most dudes with computer knowledge were trying to get their so/fuckdoll/cook to try computers, and dollars to donuts she said no because what if she breaks it, and he assured her she can't break it, being the idiot that he was, and that assurance didn't do anything.
mircea_popescu: if you couldn't find a million not-outright-insane individuals the species would be in serious trouble huh ?
mircea_popescu: not really, the control isn't over the interaction of numbers. the control is over the possibilities of existence.
mircea_popescu: you don't understand women, alfie.

phf: asciilifeform: i'm having trouble finding one that doesn't burn out
danielpbarron: i won't even rejoin irc channels from which i have been simply kicked (not banned)
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: make more accounts, reddit doesn't check that you use different browsers on the same machine to talk to yourself and make a one man lulz train
danielpbarron: i made two comments on the /r/bitcoin redditard thing and they don't appear from archive.is point of view ; I think i recall a moderator explaining to me that my comments in particular require moderator approval

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo weren't they one of the "supporters" of random forks ?
davout: "we can't remove this thing from our code because it breaks some unnecessary feature, also random reasons maybe" <-> https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/46354z/most_bitcoin_clients_affected_by_glibc_dns/d027oy0
mircea_popescu: apparently a nude statemet of "florian werner knew exactly what the hole was, to an extent larger than what was at the time specified" doesn't coalesce into "holy shit, florian weimer puts the security holes in there!"
mircea_popescu: hem, including the ones that hadn't been fully characterized when he proposed it. His approach was approved by general consensus and that's what we all use today - partly because he put in the time and effort to fix the broader issue, not just the specific case that had been identified. This approach means that sometimes it takes Red Hat a while to release a fix, but when they do, it's the right fix."
mircea_popescu: "* An example of Red Hat's "find and fix the whole issue, not just the obvious part", is shell shock. After the initial CVE for shell shock, several people proposed different ways of fixing it. Florian was one, he quickly worked on it and released a proposed patch. Over the next few days there were three MORE CVEs for shell shock, covering different variations on the same theme. Florian's initial patch covered all of t
danielpbarron: when i play games in which i might be a secret bad guy type thing, I still don't lie about it. I just don't say anything one way or the other. This means not talking too much even as one of the good guys, so it won't look out of place when I'm a bad guy
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: yea I can't find it. i don't feel like wasting more time on it. he basically just said, "This client is forked from out of date thing which is insecure cause rogue miner blah blah blah"
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: I guess Luke-jr generalized it as "doesn't enforce softforks thus insecure"
punkman: hard to figure this out since they didn't note them in changelogs
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: Luke-JR claimed that a rogue miner could push TRB nodes with blocks that aren't valid and fool them.
asciilifeform: i don't think i'll bother posting there again.
punkman: because I don't care whether it has 150 embedded webfonts . since I'm not loading them
asciilifeform: i suspect multiline doesn't work.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the blackout re: trb is more or less total, don't expect miracles
mircea_popescu: i am proud to announce that a piddle of ddos being currently measured isn't even remotely sufficient.
danielpbarron: if you, i don't know
asciilifeform: imho the enemy simple isn't bleeding enough.
mircea_popescu: so by this logic they don't believe in "bringing democracy" to various countries, because the people arguing for it are obvious usg shills ?
asciilifeform: but i still don't get (am i thick?) the point about 'the patriotism' of 'the bois'
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: understand, if i can't build and run emacs and its dependencies, the os is fit for 'bury in concrete' only - e.g., router
felipelalli: At least they really care about security. I tried to compile Bitcoin Core in OpenBSD once but I couldn't (in a quick & dirt attempt).
trinque: so you don't like ports
mircea_popescu: isn't that standard ?
PeterL: asciilifeform wasn't the thing you were describing, 'g', going to be for downloading stuff?
shinohai: There is a public pool just a few streets down from me. So many fat people were there last summer I wondered how all the water wasn't displaced.

BingoBoingo: WHo hasn't heard those?
BingoBoingo: The concern isn't actually the tank, but the pipes that run from the tank to the leech field
BingoBoingo: Over time supposedly accumulates. It may break down faster than feces, but it doesn't liquify as fast.
BingoBoingo: I didn't care for Beijing's architecture merely because it was "unfamiliar". I looked at him in astonishment. "Unfamiliar!" I exclaimed. This stuff is all over the world!" And an assault of Bauhaus is hardly Chinese.) Put up in the engineering equivalent of 15 minutes, none of these buildings is made to last — but when I asked my winsome Han tour guide what would happen when they collapsed, she said with cheerful gusto, "We'll
asciilifeform: i still don't get why cn would need antarctic base when it can shoot over north pole.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: How do you know the hipster holes won't be cleansed for aesthetics?
punkman: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-02-2016#1406303 << wouldn't you get nasty diffraction at micron level ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 15-02-2016 18:36:26; asciilifeform: nn works until it 'doesn't want to', at which point - doesn't.
adlai: most relevant&explanatory nonsense pasted in its bathroom is https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/42535 which i didn't post myself but strongly identify with
adlai just babysits the watering hole and the folks find their way in... it's right across from the stock exchange, people literally walk in and ask "didn't bitcoin die last year"
assbot: Logged on 15-02-2016 18:33:11; *: adlai would not be surprised if there isn't [yet] a way to translate alphago's "learning" to human go terms
thestringpuller: "They shouldn't have to care. They're users. The entire point of being a user is not having to care."
mircea_popescu: i didn't go to school every morning i knew the other kids would show up because "i had theorems to prove"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform which is why he doesn't.
shinohai: BingoBoingo: Shouldn't line read "cessation of continued heart beats" ?
mircea_popescu: jurov "they don't succeed at making money, but that's secondary - they succeed at feeling like a trader".
jurov: if you can't design yourself, don't tell us it would be cheap
mircea_popescu: "we don't have iron, so we make swords of the reeds we have" is not sense.
mircea_popescu: but then you don't want to be a mouse.
mircea_popescu: the solution to these faux problems is always the same, "don't want very much". which will make random offering perfectly fine.
mircea_popescu: you'll also not have easy, meaningless sex with random women that you enjoy. and you won't be able to eat from garbage cans and always find exactly what you wanted to find in there.
asciilifeform: note, it is an entirely legit thing, to design for dirigible, for reactor. but i do not have these things. so i don't design for them.
mircea_popescu: much like say a social worker would be "oh, this solution doesn't provide work for enough social workers"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, you know how to solve the problem but don't want to because not enough engineering involved.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it isn't 'doesn't radiate' if you need a terminator plugged with normal copper, that does
mircea_popescu: dude, you are the one that said, and i quote, <asciilifeform> i'd like the cable that can be 1km long and doesn't radiate, plox
asciilifeform: i'd like the cable that can be 1km long and doesn't radiate, plox
mircea_popescu: i suspect that's the operational difference. yes you can't really bend sharply a dtvi cable.
asciilifeform: so don't pinch!
jurov: i happen to prefer cables that are't sensitive to get pinched inadvertently
mircea_popescu: i don't think you understand this whole "Consumer" thing all too well.
mircea_popescu: because fiber needs terminators and doesn't take well to damage.
asciilifeform: jurov: i always found it interesting that you can't get display cable ~optic~
mircea_popescu: i guess the obama section of democrats are resigned to losing to the other one, or else they wouldn't be running around with this sort of crap.
mircea_popescu: i almost wouldn't even need my "run gamma at 40%" thing
asciilifeform: for extra points, have two or more layers of this, ~where the holes don't line up~. how does the light pass? sheet of glass between! partial internal reflection.
asciilifeform: is this one of those abominable things that won't move a millimetre unless i push it ??!
jurov: but i don't use free certs for that.
asciilifeform: nn works until it 'doesn't want to', at which point - doesn't. ☟︎
adlai would not be surprised if there isn't [yet] a way to translate alphago's "learning" to human go terms ☟︎
