assbot: Logged on 22-06-2015 07:28:36; mircea_popescu: he was an idiot for not understanding he is going into it, and for not acting accordingly, but most of all for misrepresenting the sordid state of affairs as a) civilised and b) a fact of life.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1171994 << but how, precisely, was herr naggum to get out of it? recall, he did not spend whole life in one country - was in usa for most of the upper '90s ☝︎☟︎
assbot: Logged on 22-06-2015 07:28:09; mircea_popescu: naggum could not keep up WITH THIS. with the threadmill of sublimated violence that is the bezzle.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1171972 << i find it smashingly hilarious that everyone today seems to still be buying that particular bit of wartime engineered psychosis. the 'fighting without pants, one rifle for three men' thing 100% lines up with the '41-'42 period when su was having the shit kicked out of it. ☝︎☟︎
ben_vulpes: proxy from the network proper into irc.
ben_vulpes: it'd be trivial to fill it back up.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it appears to be (now) empty.
assbot: Logged on 22-06-2015 06:05:32; mircea_popescu: so what's the idea, "using the bus instead of owning a car is a killer security feature, because a) if someone wants to piss in your seat they don't know which seat you will take (you're of course still open to sitting in a pool of urine that nobody intended for you particularly) and if the ny dept of idiocy decides to make the seats smaller and affix dongs, you get smaller seats and a dong up your a
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1171876 << the 'address space randomization' thing is precisely 'teacher's condom' (as depicted in comic, https://xkcd.com/463 ) ☝︎
asciilifeform: and that we need 1) own seeds 2) optionally, irc box 3) organized hunt for ungavinized seeds from planet as a whole, to seed (1) nodes with
asciilifeform: it does appear to follow from this discovery that: the other side is paying attention...
ben_vulpes: (remind me again why all these bdb files are necessary?)
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i blew it away just this minute specifically to test.
ben_vulpes: nobody in those channels.

cazalla: meh i won't begrudge her for 10m views, prob far more than some mainstream pros get these days ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and i believe she;s making better money off sexual enthusiasm than off whatever pink collar career. but NOT because 10 trillion clicks.
mircea_popescu: shitty tube traffic ? i dunno that you could sell it at any price, a decade ago.
cazalla: to think indiancandy could've accumulated a similar amount of views if she only didn't piss around paying people to promote her instagram and got her clothes off willingly
punkman: maybe their paid stuff converts well though
punkman: $500 if 5 cents per 1k views, and that's probably high for porn traffic
cazalla: i imagine the tube sites are just a means to funnel people to their pay sites but 10 million views sounds better to the reddit crowd
punkman: "If you record yourselves getting sexy whilst watching a video of yourselves getting it on while you are also watching a video of yourselves getting jiggy, then you can call it Cum-ception for the slam dunk of porn pun movies."
cazalla: well she claims she and her partner are making more doing porn than their old jobs
punkman: that cover is probably the best thing about it
mircea_popescu: punkman i never saw that one.
mircea_popescu: what moral responsibility ? to whom, to what ?
mircea_popescu: what more's needed ? broken in the fucking head, these people.
mircea_popescu: still exhibit vanity, in a laughable degree hard to put into words. worms, whose lives consist of being generally too low to piss on, think of their "moral responsibility".
mircea_popescu: these abject nobodies, everything they thought they knew having not merely failed, but having been well proven to have failed beyond the shadowest shadow of a doubt,
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "After Chorazycki's death our plan had to be postponed for several months because we had no qualified leader, and none of us wanted to take moral responsibility for an unsuccessful coup." << ye see ? what more dja want ?
mircea_popescu: otherwise, they WILL scam you more than you scam them, and you end up with a hole in your gut. one should not visit the anthill unless one's either an anteater or equipped as one. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: you have no business sitting at the poker table unless you intend to bluff, and you have no business living in norway unless you have a clear scam to apply to the government in mind.
mircea_popescu: it is neither. it is the unseemly result of delusion shared by idiots.
mircea_popescu: he was an idiot for not understanding he is going into it, and for not acting accordingly, but most of all for misrepresenting the sordid state of affairs as a) civilised and b) a fact of life. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: naggum could not keep up WITH THIS. with the threadmill of sublimated violence that is the bezzle. ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 22-06-2015 05:08:06; asciilifeform: that is, having four walls to sit in without strangers sharing the space, to eat real food, to sometimes visit doctors, etc
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1171822 << mno. "that is, that once one agrees with the braindamaged pretense that 'end to violence', he is forced to hypocritically reintroduce violence in a very complex form, which reduces to the bezzle, or in carlin's words, 'everyone's quest to stick it to the other guy faster and deeper'. and so he accepts your 50x inflated carrots because he wants to sell you 67x in ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1171800 << wait, you're actually discovering anything in the irc ? ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1171747 << ask any of the women that either travel to zululand to be raped or out of there for lack of enthusiasm for the activity. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: what supply lines, are you fucking kidding me ? the orcs fought the war in borrowed pants. ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 22-06-2015 04:40:08; asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: re: spandrell and courage: think about the soviet propagandists' exhortation to 'go kill a german with your bare hands.' was it this that won the war? or also other things, like supply lines from factories set up in open air past urals, etc. ?
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1171744 << it was the bare hands thing that won the war. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: if this pattern bullshit worked we wouldn't be stuck here with glibc. and that goes exactly to pete_dushenski "wisdom of decisions" thing above too
assbot: Logged on 22-06-2015 02:41:52; asciilifeform: incidentally, anyone who owns old cars and frequents mechanics would have to be blind to suggest that usd is not palpably inflating
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1171476 << because parts are increasing in price ? i'm not seeing this with the w126. too many of them were produced, too many still on the road. parts are monumentally cheap. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 22-06-2015 04:38:11; asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: spandrell's 'we should stop and think what makes bold people bold, and what patterns are common to people who can fight back' is reasonable observation
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1171739 << riiight. maybe also figure out the patterns that make one go to heaven. go through the motions of being happy. play the harmonica, badly. ☝︎
pete_dushenski just imagines white collar couple with bundle of female joy in tow citing such 'science' 'proving' the wisdom of their 'decision'
mircea_popescu: pretty much every failure of the us post gilded age can be traced to the losing of that battle. and no, giving women the vote was not a bad idea. great idea. but they should have burned the missionaries on a stake.
mircea_popescu: because they just so happened to have 0% survival changes in a bar, and ran churches.
mircea_popescu: they wanted the women, congregating in churches, to decide elections instead.
mircea_popescu: they were engaged in a political battle, at hte time, because they didn't like that the men, congregating in bars, decided elections.
mircea_popescu: "You can predict the level of violence in an area just by looking at alcohol sales." << worst stupid ever.
pete_dushenski: http://www.coindesk.com/judge-rules-in-peer-to-peer-bitcoin-lending-lawsuit/ << fiat court tries to deal with fallout of btcjam scamming
assbot: Logged on 22-06-2015 04:13:34; pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: nice job ? y'know i'm taller than that guy ;) though i can see the similarity

assbot: Logged on 22-06-2015 03:35:14; asciilifeform: (it is possible to break up cement, but not without anyone noticing. this is the basic principle for the nuke test-ban compliance gadget used on both sides of the ocean)
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1171598 << yes without anyone noticing. plants do it all the time. so do ants. so does water. trivial to design a bot that breaks up cement at the rate of a foot a year. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 22-06-2015 03:31:44; asciilifeform: (not because valuable, but because copper scavengers need to be publicly flayed rather than encouraged)
assbot: Logged on 22-06-2015 03:07:57; asciilifeform: i can picture the minutes. 'hitler: you know, miners are using own versions of bitcoin and don't particular feel like backporting their necessary mods to yours. hearn: so let's do the work for them. gavin: fine idea'
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1171558 << this sounds a lot more professionally qualified than is the case. more like "i invented a novel inovative user-friendly streamlined buzzword-buzzword way to pick up aples : by their tail. can i has consulting gig ? watch my presentation on toilet paper theory." ☝︎
ben_vulpes: harder every night but thanks
assbot: Logged on 22-06-2015 03:05:35; *: asciilifeform sorta assumed that miners already optimize for snarfing up max fee
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1171545 << it's a more complicated problem than it seems to be (mostly because of the short timeframe involved and the layered nature of the mempool) and the miners are more technologically inept than one'd expect. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: more gargle about the pies in the skies of our imaginary homeworld.
mircea_popescu: some do, most don't, principally because it ain't worth the hassle.
assbot: Logged on 22-06-2015 03:03:11; ben_vulpes: broadcast a transaction with a higher fee, miners will include it preferentially to a previous transaction with the same inputs
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1171531 << you will note miners can do this NOW if they feel like it. there's exactly zero need for peter todd or anyone else to be involved. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 22-06-2015 03:01:25; BingoBoingo: "AntPool just missed out on 4.644BTC/$1128USD worth of transaction fees because they weren't mining with full-RBF"
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1171526 << let's not get into which power rangers missed 5 btc because there's not poop on their magic markers. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: hanbot: Great piece on the Texas drama, congrats.
ben_vulpes: (i had an icecream today - thought of the various ice creams in bsas)
mircea_popescu: and by "it's dead" i mostly mean lfnet. nothing there.
mircea_popescu: plenty of dogecoin chans with 1 user, two full chans of namecoin, 180 users, and otherwise an endless parade of scamcoins omfg, i never heard of most of 'em.
assbot: Logged on 09-06-2015 16:53:02; mircea_popescu: ascii_field the problem of child-herding, so far unresolved, is that women care too much and men don't understand wtf is in the box.
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=09-06-2015#1158322 << can only be resolved on a case-by-case basis, not ever at a larger scale i don't think. ☝︎
ben_vulpes: "stella", for a favorite kids book "stella luna", because the car is a batmobile.
ben_vulpes: in other news, i named the car.
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: it's okay, the toilet needs it.
ben_vulpes: i'm appropriately burnt out on self-mgmt on this task for today, but can still turn cranks
ben_vulpes: i tried this with both the IP addr for lfnet in the satoshi codebase and also the ip addr provided when loking up irc.lfnet.org
cazalla: SWIM many years ago turned to research chems instead of cough syrup
BingoBoingo: Which mean sure, you can trip balls, but the toilet is getting hugged the whole time ☟︎
ben_vulpes: i was going to script this, but a visual inspection seems to indicate no nodes on the irc.
BingoBoingo: cazalla: It hastens turining drug into more extreme version of the drug.
