BingoBoingo: In other withdrawls, valve/steam are quitting Bitcoin over their inability to bring value: "“At this point, it has become untenable to support Bitcoin as
a payment option,” Valve concluded. “We may re-evaluate whether Bitcoin makes sense for us and for the Steam community at
a later date.”"

ben_vulpes: when run without the bootstrap use flag, gnat-gpl still unpacks
a few gcc-6 gzips and bz2s
ben_vulpes: also the gcc on the box *is* running
a 4.7, gcc-config -l does not list the mentioned six
ben_vulpes: that box runs
a 4.7, maybe use=bootstrap pulls in
a gcc 6?
mircea_popescu: o sweet merciful jesus, "19. The harassment campaign(s) Defendant Herrera, and the other Defendants’, have created, and continue to create, against Plaintiffs’ are appalling, wanton, vindictive, ruthless, and patently repulsive. What’s even more nauseating is that Defendant Herrera, in conjunction with the other Defendants’, have created
a thriving business based around their continued harassment campaigns, cyber mob
mircea_popescu: "6. In 2014, Defendant Herrera was relatively unknown, had
a small fan base, few resources, and therefore, being included in Plaintiff’s Podcast represented
a huge opportunity for him." ahahaha what the fuck, is he off his rocker ?
mircea_popescu: there should be
a law that anyone filing suit for under 1mn gets caned instead, and then sold by open outcry.
mircea_popescu: well, actually, o have an idea : need
a lot more material to fill text than video, so every lazy ass is trying to sell his ugly nose pimples in lieu.
cazalla: maybe
a year or 2 ago now, maddox thought everyone was listening for him, but turned out they were tuning in to hear dick, so maddox went his own way expecting all the patreon bucks to come to him, but only
a couple hundred while dick pulling in thousands lol
mircea_popescu: no, it wasn't an original idea of theirs ; they can't have such
a thing.
BingoBoingo: Well, an empire can't die holding only
a single mistake
mircea_popescu: as long as fed can keep printing, they'll keep going to "moderation college" for
a "moderator career".
BingoBoingo: The coins are cool, but... they cover 10 pesos on down so that's
a lot of metal
BingoBoingo: So far change for
a $20 bill is consistently being rounded in my favor to avoid burdening me with coins.
mircea_popescu: because the per-usage cost of fraud upon
a credit card is like 1.5-1.8% of its total net value. meaning if your account is worth over 100k lifetime, you can't afford to use
a card to pay less than
a coupla k's. and if your account is worth LESS than 100k lifetime there's no fucking reason you could possibly have to use
a bank for anything.
mircea_popescu: back when i had (company) cards
a decade ago, i used them to cover >1k bills at large wholesalers, not $300 at the restaurant. and EVEN SO it was iffy.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo over two bucks ? take 5 more minutes and have to sign shit ? what's the per-transaction risk cost to the card, ie, if your time were free and your pen were free, how much is the maximum card value capped at to make this purchase not
a loss ?
mircea_popescu: and ESPECIALLY don't try the womanly "wisdom" angle.
a male that dumb has nothing to impart by the definition of terms.
BingoBoingo: Many of the larger shops offer discounts for card payments, apparently in retail that is
a way to recover some VAT
mircea_popescu: if you need someone to lend you money for socks as
a 50yo male you really have no excuse to be here.
mircea_popescu: i was standing in
a shop to buy
a ream of socks and shit, and this dork before me, ENTIRELY in the european academic geddup, including the ugly colors, the jersey, the bag over shoulder etc paid for ONE PAIR worth ~3 bux with
a credit card.
mircea_popescu: plus, for an argentine any expenditure over ~40 cents requires
a bank loan.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform people dumb enough to get caught in
a country which requires ferry trip for disposition rarely make anything like an early phase.
mircea_popescu: i dun think most people realise how close curetage is to
a really bad shave that's 2 layers too close.
mircea_popescu: they prefer
a larger one. apparently tbtf is
a thing in human cognition.
mircea_popescu: they don't like to save in the local currency of
a tiny mismanaged we-produce-nothing "corporation"
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the east coast moved to
a very mechanicistic "if you can't engineer you're
a failed bioexperiment", which makes for
a slightly differenty flavour of very unhappy, somewhat overweight neuroticoball.
mircea_popescu: but for the sake of historical record, the very traditional central european "you may not say no to
a man ; and ESPECIALLY not sexually" lands, ie from south carolina south and west as far as maybe eastern arizona, provide slut protection, in that "and if you end up alone with three kids before you're 30 i won't hold that against you".
mircea_popescu: in fact there's
a lot of ethnographic and social difference across the "nation" which isn't. that the pantsuit don't know about it... well... they don't know about anything else, either, do they.
trinque: I guess yeah, texan thing. dad would get drunk all day, try to murder the kids on
a tether behind boat.
trinque: asciilifeform: what? I spent big chunks of youth idle time with my dad trying to kill me behind
a boat.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> btw i keep resisting but now gotta ask, how big exactly is
a 'gangstaroll' ? when i went to ro i was able to pack
a coupla kilobux , is all that will comfortably fold in normal human wallet << I packed $20 bills for convenience
mircea_popescu: back before 2001/1990s/bush/etc happened, the remnants of "male culture" were actually headed towards
a boaty paradise, i suspect.
mircea_popescu: im vaguely wondering what
a 2000 born iowan even makes of
a boat pic.
mircea_popescu: nobody does
a line for any other reason than to THINK they're there. so make it
a reality, more margin that way.
mircea_popescu: talk about "efficient market hypothesis". this is
A LOT more in demand than pink ipad covers, for instance. "oh but mp, pink ipad covers aren't illegal!" o ya ? ALSO more in demand than cocaine.
mircea_popescu: someone should actually make
a strippers-and-roman-banquet airline.
mircea_popescu: i get it, you don't powerlunch there every day. but if you run into
a gal that takes your breath away... wouldn't it be the proper time ?
mircea_popescu: most starred restaurants are
a few hundy to maybe
a grand
a plate.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the us is pretty ridiculous. upscale dinner for two can readily run you
a grand or two, yet none of the walkers have that much on them.
mircea_popescu:
a man sized clip will hold
a whole brick (ie, 100 bills, 50k eur or 10k usd or 5mn colones or w/e), unfolded.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-07 20:49 hanbot: I don't recall ever seeing cleaning crews near the river. or anywhere other than the esquinas of convenience stores. anyway, if they're anything like their southern neighbors ~everyone you meet will warn you about pickpockets/bag snatchers, to the degree someone who doesn't offer such warnings is by that sign
a potential friend ;)
mircea_popescu: like every dumbass getting
a mortgage "because everyone is".
mircea_popescu: they didn't get it for
a purpose. they got it because they think owning subs is how you further the pretense of countryhood.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-07 20:57 mircea_popescu: anyway, the pretense of argentina, in all fields, is nothing short of hysterical. they lose
a sub, 100% through being TOTAL FUCKTARDS. they act as if adult country had some sort of problem ; as if people on it were qualified -- not to run
a sub, but to run
a dishwasher and so on.
ben_vulpes: pantsuits are on the case: ...[the judge] is under investigation over allegations of money laundering and illicit enrichment, with some critics suggesting that he may be targeting Fernandez's (sic?) as
a smokescreen"
a111: Logged on 2017-12-07 18:18 asciilifeform: if i had to decide whether to find
a picasso, or to be side swiped by
a garbage truck, it would not be easy choice
a111: Logged on 2017-12-07 18:14 asciilifeform: meanwhile shitfinex : 'Over the last few days, we were hit by
a mixture of huge real customer demand for deposits & withdrawals, at the same time as we experienced ddos in the form of malicious microdeposits and withdrawals (
a heavily funded attack). On top of this, both the Ethereum and Bitcoin networks were under high congestion (blame the kittens, not us.)...'
mircea_popescu: what defies reason is how anyone can NOT go on
a rampage shooting random people, bombing government buildings and setting toddlers afire in old tyres over there.
mircea_popescu: cat would rather burn down the house than live in washing machine ; and normal human being would rather crack the earth into
a trillio nshards than live in the "united states" pantsuit has imagined. what's so hard about this ?
a111: Logged on 2017-12-07 18:08 asciilifeform: '"We're not only trying to build
a case against the defendant, we're trying to ask the broader question of why -
a question that the victims' families and the community deserves' << prettygreat
BingoBoingo: I really have to work on my camera speed,
a trash donkey was spotted twice.
mircea_popescu: confusing argentina for
a country is not unlike confusing puppy for
a baby -- ie something only uninformed fat old women could do.
BingoBoingo: As far as I can tell so far Uruguay lacks politics as understood by
a middle western rube. Instead it has operations discusions concerning things like cleaning la playas.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the pretense of argentina, in all fields, is nothing short of hysterical. they lose
a sub, 100% through being TOTAL FUCKTARDS. they act as if adult country had some sort of problem ; as if people on it were qualified -- not to run

☟︎ BingoBoingo: Now there's
a neighborhood called Centro that has yet to interest me, but it will likely be crossed on the way to the old city.
ate: asciilifeform Please excuse this noob, but I've been reading through your website over the past week or two. Creating
a sane computing environment has been an interest of mine for
a while, and most of my effots have been following the work of Alan Kay. Eventually, as I believe you have, I learned about the beautiful Lisp Machines, and am very interested in working to create modern versions.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: if you declare suitcase-with-million, you won't leave the airport. not on own legs. << This is why picasos are
a thing
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> "that aside, experimentally BingoBoingo produced
a gangster roll out of
a btc. i don't expect anything changed other than same item now costs .5" << you get THE ITEM THAT IS. for ever less btc. << And there's the pain of the experiment
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> that aside, experimentally BingoBoingo produced
a gangster roll out of
a btc. << very doable for BingoBoingo in el estados unidos
