thestringpuller: you don'

mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> peterL, Just gotta raise the river then << ideally, put it on a jack. "maybe i'll come down, maybe i won'
t. don'
t mess up my beer, man!"
mircea_popescu: heh look at all the kids that don'
t know better / derps nobody heard about coralled by pantera and advised by gavin & schmuckteam.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> ... << dude, i don'
t care if he gives away clinton's hairy snatch and the secret of immortality 45 minutes in. who the fuck has the time for this sorta thing. << Reddit commnets were lulzy. Didn'

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-01-2016#1385014 << hydro power is proportional to water drop, you can'
t really get much power out of a flat river like missississippi << very true. the one we were discussing yesterday is at St. Anthonys Falls. Which apparently helped the city long ago get its start. Its not very big, and since they put in the dam, apparenlty this has eroded the origin
☝︎ mircea_popescu: if there's both mill and hydro plant, well... finally ecoregulations can be forced on the mill. and if it doesn'
t like it... fuck you, move to germany.
mircea_popescu: you'll notice that "third world pissholes" don'
t function in the sense of "person mp doesn'
t like vacations there".
mircea_popescu: anyway, the simple proof that wind is purely for show - so that soviet citizen sees it and is impressed with the usg, just like the red army red square parades of otherwise useless missiles - rather than for energy is that the one place where you should have them (tierra del fuego) doesn'
t have them.
thestringpuller: This is why you shouldn'
t give penniless hippies any nice things ever, cause they will break those nice things.
mircea_popescu: assbot: Michael Toomin explains his meltdown, and the structure of Bitcoin Classic (45 min in!) << dude, i don'
t care if he gives away clinton's hairy snatch and the secret of immortality 45 minutes in. who the fuck has the time for this sorta thing.
mircea_popescu: first off birds don'
t just move. they're more adverse to living the swamp they for no good reason call home than alf is. and for the other, demand doesn'
t create scarcity, that whole branch's not even wrong.
assbot: Logged on 25-01-2016 07:08:57; pete_dushenski: disneyesque animalia as. changing gruntwork jobs (which is what power generation is), ceretis paribus, doesn'
t matter in the slightest to the global ecological footprint. if anything, as bitcoin mining grows into even the double-digits of global power use, it will create a scarcity of electricity for non-mining uses, driving up prices in those other domains, thus decreasing less essential usage, decr
mircea_popescu: <punkman> I also don'
t get why i's on medium << because that's what altman's qntra is called.
punkman: I also don'

thestringpuller: already selling out to corporations and they didn'
t even need lobbyist this time!
thestringpuller: i haven'
t seen a broncos superbowl since i was elementary school methinks
danielpbarron: i turned down the offer to sell coin, not because of where it would go so much as because I don'
t know a reliable way to replentish my stock (I haven'
t used coinbase in a long while)
danielpbarron: yeah please do; i can'
t believe it's 4 my brain is fried
punkman: loltoomim "What languages do you work in, what's your background in CS?" "I use all languages" "You can'

BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: There won'

☟︎ BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: I'll have you know that in the cleaning I've done since last message I dusted a perfectly good machine capable of running OS 7, if only I'd plug in in and the caps haven'
t gone pop since October when I last plugged it in...
assbot: Logged on 25-01-2016 00:28:44; mircea_popescu: now a dog you can'
t trust!
pete_dushenski: "first they came for isis for using pgp, but i did nothing. then they... oh wait. they couldn'
t so anything against isis anyways so what sort of nyooz is this!"
BingoBoingo: "more or less right. Release builds for VAX usually don'
t end much
mircea_popescu: "what happens if a miner includes a bogus tx you say ? oh, the other miners would never extend that chain!" "wait, didn'
t those same other miners extend a chain that failed the rulechange they supposedly voted for ?" "sfyl".
BingoBoingo: <thestringpuller> so. they took out verifyall in core bitcoind and replaced it with -reindex. -reindex doesn'
t disregard checkpoints. or at least no one knows if it does or not. how do these people have Ph.D's and shit? << -reindex and -verifyall are two different things.

assbot: Logged on 25-01-2016 01:23:27; mod6: so what we want, is three different ways: no force one way or another, force high, or force low. remember, i originally didn'
t want to do a force high at all. but since asciilifeform requested this, i'm entertaining this option.
ben_vulpes: oh come now asciilifeform like we don'
t waste time on vastly more trivial shit all the time
polarbeard: you can'
t, using a single boolean, do you mean an int?
mod6: so what we want, is three different ways: no force one way or another, force high, or force low. remember, i originally didn'
t want to do a force high at all. but since asciilifeform requested this, i'm entertaining this option.
☟︎ polarbeard: can'
t it be like a three state flag? 0 -> no enforce, 1 -> enforce low, 2 -> enforce high
polarbeard: mod6: honest question, why using two flags if they can'
t be used at the same time?
mats: he doesn'
t pm me anymore, probably because i'm not as fun as ben_vulpes
polarbeard: ben_vulpes: I asked somebody if assbot can be forced to forget the nick, it can'
t polarbeard: maybe one day, I don'
t kiss in the first date
polarbeard: yes, I understand, it wasn'
t my intention to change nick, I nuked my keys
mod6: <+ben_vulpes> mod6, polarbeard, asciilifeform, mircea_popescu: y'all follow? << this is my 0.00000002: If you don'
t trust a man, no matter what his keyid is today, how can i ignore that and trust a new ident? The correct thing to do as a man, admit your mistake, and or ask for forgiveness and move on. Simple as that. We're all adults here.
ben_vulpes: it's not submitting patches any more, so i don'
t see the point of the discussion.
ben_vulpes: someone can show up tomorrow and claim to be tiberius, tat, smickles, and until they sign with keys that prove it they're either joking or some other thing i don'
t understand
ben_vulpes: yes, i don'
t quite care about 'statements against interest'
ben_vulpes: and given that the character's lost or whatevered those keys, i don'
t see any reason for a) that to change or b) influence how the wot regards polarbeard
assbot: Logged on 16-11-2015 21:01:21; ascii_field: BingoBoingo: 'I didn'
t know that,' I said. 'No one knows everything,' he said. 'Did you know,' he said, 'that until almost this very moment nothing would have delighted me more than to prove that you were a spy, to see you shot?' 'No,' I said. 'And do you know why I don'
t care now if you were a spy or not?' he said. 'You could tell me now that you were a spy, and we would go on talking calmly, just as w
mircea_popescu: keep things so it's never worth doing that, you don'
t care if it's hitler's own id.
mircea_popescu: well thatg's what i said. how do you know "x is y". you basicaLLY don'
t.
polarbeard: I don'
t know how to resolve the fact that he doesn'
t like people build stuff for nodejs
polarbeard: that's okay, I won'
t submit anything if you don'
t want / have the time to read
mod6: mircea_popescu: he was talking to me in pm when he decided not to reconcile with ben and created a new ident. i can'
t sign stuff from a guy who i know that my co-chair has neg-rated.
mircea_popescu: mod6 there's two (very general) problems here. one is that well, identification's always iffy. how do you go "x=y" when it comes to ids ? the other is that well, with or without wot trust, the guy can still write patches etc. not like anyone can prevent it. not to say that it shouldn'
t be resolved by any means.
BingoBoingo: polarbeard: But you don'
t own that url in even the pretend sense of having a domain name
polarbeard: ok, I'll earn that with time, I won'
t submit until I have positive rating
thestringpuller: this wouldn'
t change on same machine no? (like pulling blockchain off one drive then putting on another drive, but inside same machine)
diana_coman: jurov> nice, can someone compile crystalspace/eulora with mingw? <- I tried that in some days of madness; it didn'
t end well
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> just imagine a box where you can'
t pop a shell & grep << iirc they eventually got a grep in windows too
polarbeard: ide tells you what to do, calls you bitch if you don'
t thestringpuller: Working on a winblowz box is the worst experience ever. I did so for 1.5 years writing JBoss web applets. Everyone thought "Oh you can run the dev environment in windows, well you're crazy. THIS IS HOW THE WORLD WORKS" to which I would revolt saying, "Your development process is insane which is why you spent 2.5 mil bringing in AGILE consultants to reduce your bottom line, which didn'
t fix any of the real problems."
BingoBoingo: I use dreamhost for thedrinkingrecord. It's cost controlled and don'
t get surprise bills when DDoS
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: Darwin isn'
t a complete piece of shit eh? So Apple > Winblows or is this like comparing two bowls of shit and asking which one is less nutty.
LquidNinjaAssets: It doesn'
t really matter, I was just looking for some #b-a advice on who to use as a hosting service if I wanted to start a no frills blog...
mircea_popescu: <punkman> this doesn'
t matter in log in most cases << for one thing, alf was considering using the log for dumping and working with mempool.
punkman: this doesn'
t matter in log in most cases
mircea_popescu: "i dunno, man, that's just what my bitcoin does" "it shouoldn'
t do that" "how do you know ?" "because..."
ben_vulpes: a glib answer'd be "because steve died", a more pragmatic one "because they don'
t compile the bitcoin reference implementation", but i don'
t think either of those are what you're thinking.
ben_vulpes: I personally don'
t understand the reasons beyond "it's the right thing to do with the reference implementation, dummy. also, fuck drepper."
