williamdunne: midnightmagic: I
think its most likely just stupid people, nothing nefarious
mircea_popescu: i
think ima start "tit 1337" investigations of random people nao.
mircea_popescu: "Kipnis was not allowed
to have an attorney present during her interview with
Title IX investigators, she writes, but she was allowed
to bring along another faculty member as a "support person" provided
that
the person she brought did not speak.
That support person later discussed Kipnis' situation at a "Faculty Senate" meeting—and has subsequently been accused of, yes, committing a
Title IX violation."
midnightmagic: Likely whoever it is who's paying
the /r/bitcoin shills has an agenda, just like everyone else..
mircea_popescu: one can always spin up an arbitrary number of spammy
txn.
mircea_popescu: imagine
the "stress
test" if
the blocks ACTUALLY WERE 20mb.
cazalla: some coincidence a bunch of folk on /r/bitcoin get
together
to stress
test
the same day gavin
threatens
to
take his ball/bat and go home with hearn
mircea_popescu: spending anything out of it makes BOTH
the little you spent and
the 999.x remainder NEW coinbases.
mircea_popescu: the beauty of
this being
that if you have say 1000btc in one chunk
cazalla: well
they probably don't have anything older
than a few days anyway
cazalla: apparently you bloat unconfirmed
tx so
that it's great
than 1mb and
then you point and say see, we need an increase cause i gotta wait 20m instead of 10m for 1 confirmation
trinque: when I build new
things I
tend
to err
towards caution
mircea_popescu: gotta give people enough room
to fail, otherwise people can't be good.
trinque: I suppose I can dial back
the paranoia
trinque: I assume I should add
trilema :D
trinque: I've asked numerous
times for a list of URLs people want whitelisted.
mircea_popescu: gheorghe gheorghiu dej went from common criminal
to head of romanian state in a decade
cazalla: so if anyone can enlighten me.. what
typically happens
to
those
that find
themselves in prison during
the collapse of a nation?
BingoBoingo: Ironically
the definition of irony used on
the ESL interwebz has expanded so much it has no meaning. It nao has as much meaning as "a" or "the"
mircea_popescu: cazalla ahahaha idiots. same derps did
this purge job
that did
thew original reddit "bitcoin blocks consensus" purge job ?
mircea_popescu: inasmuch as
the woman's public communication is being indicted for failing
to kow-tow
to idiocy, it'd seem
this is just cultural-revolution style maoism.
mircea_popescu: "On Friday, Kipnis published another piece in
the Chronicle, revealing
that, in a
twist
that's ironic on more
than one level, she is now
the subject of an investigation into graduate student complaints
that her earlier column and a subsequent
tweet violated
Title IX,
the law
that prohibits sex descrimination in education."
cazalla: i overstated
that
tbh.. most of it has been removed,
there are a few remnants but
the majority is gone
mircea_popescu: gawker was somehow
the loss leader in
that, but otherwise "industry"-wide it's been a serious case of "work for free or don't work at all, for money
there isn't".
BingoBoingo: They still have enough name of
their own
that
they can cut
their expenses gawker style without collecting as much gawker stench
mircea_popescu: mildly humiliated us marshalls service and slightly more humiliated federal prosecutors.
tho both of
these being public servants,
they can do a lot better
than
this.
assbot: Logged on 28-05-2015 22:27:06; cazalla: i'm sure
there is a better way
to do it but relying on archive.today probably isn't
that great an idea but not sure what else
to do (for example, all
the bitcoin auction stuff has been completely removed from
the US Marshall's website)
mircea_popescu: 2014 wasn't altogether bad, but it doesn't hold a candle
to 2015 so far.
mircea_popescu: got slightly better once mtgox got finished, but not by much.
that year's lolcow promotion was delulded fatso,
the pageantry genius with her "chamber of commerce",
that schmuck in ny
that meanwhile got sent
to "privately practice" with his privates...
mircea_popescu: i remember
the sad days when all we had was kludge
the banker and ponzi
the smooth operator.
mircea_popescu: "i paid someone
to make five hundred
thousand fake facebook pages
that like me, SO
THERE1!1"
BingoBoingo: Of course software developers get no say.
The say goes
to
the content farms in
the Phillipines.
BingoBoingo: Ah,
the nodecounter
that only counts post Hearnfork1 nodes
assbot: Logged on 29-05-2015 16:18:27; punkman: "There's a feeling on
this list
that
there's no consensus, or
that Gavin and myself are on
the wrong side of it. I'd put it differently -
there's very strong consensus out in
the wider community and
this list is something of an aberration."
mircea_popescu: not just from a "must be in
there for we need all
the dns-carried pores imported via glibc etc", but also in
the much lower level "who's in charge of
the it!!1"
thing
mircea_popescu: this should be enough indication of
the importance of dns-in-bitcoin for
the shitgnome.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Also
this is only high lolz compared
to recent weeks. We're probably still below December's lolz levels still.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally,
the one interesting
tidbit in all
this : one difference between current bitcoin and hearn-bitcoin is
that
the latter replaces Jeff Garzik's DNS seed with
the seed run by one Addy Yeow.
mircea_popescu: as BingoBoingo points out,
this has been a very high lulz week.
assbot: Logged on 29-05-2015 14:03:10; asciilifeform:
the interesting number, btw, is 269868
mircea_popescu: "in
theory,
there's no difference between
theory and practice, while in practice
theory does not exist." fify!

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-05-2015#1147610 << notice
that it wants
to vent
to
the street if you don't want
the heat. let me guess, air intake is -not- selectable.
this means
that it would eat your air-conditioned air in
the summer, heat it, and blow
to
the street. scam.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: there's no expectation
the contents of
the boxes be obsolete any
time before it amortises.
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell BlueMatt if you want
to join #b-a and actually work on bitcoin for a change, you have a rating already, so you can voice.
assbot: You rated user BlueMatt on 06-May-2015, with a rating of 1, and supplied
these additional notes: one of
the very few dudes in -dev actually doing something useful..
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell sipa if you want
to join #b-a and actually work on bitcoin for a change, i'll rate you so you can voice.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: hey check it out, nsa-dev goes
to join ver-foundation in
the pile of relevancy ?
jurov: wiring 200k euro isn't a problem if you're a company
that does it like, every month
williamdunne: Sure
thing, I'll PM you if I know someone interested
felipelalli: I have
to
talk with him again. I'm waiting his call.
williamdunne: But yes, do you need
this? I will speak
to someone
williamdunne: Aha, well yes. But on 1000 bitcoin even a wire
transfer at 20 euros isn't really a problem :D
williamdunne: Yes, but why would you care about free on a deal
that large?
felipelalli: williamdunne:
they can make free
transfer between different countries?
williamdunne: But yes, I can't organize 200k in cash but I can probably find a buyer via bank
transfer
felipelalli: williamdunne: move usd from Brazil
to Italy. My father is studying
to use bitcoin. A Brazilian exchange is helping me with
that but
the problem now is find buyers in Italy.
trinque: it also brings
to mind
the way
these
things develop, where first intent may be something which increases or decreases
the legal severity of some other crime, but over
time becomes a crime all its own
☟︎ williamdunne: felipelalli: You want
to sell? I might be able
to organize
this for you
trinque: allows for a black hole of
thoughtcrime charges
trinque: decimation: in reading
the indictment of
the former speaker,
the
terrible consequences of using "intent" as a legal concept are apparent
felipelalli: jurov: I said
that
to him. He said he'll study
to keep (or distribute) some part in bitcoin. I already found sellers here in Brazil.
jurov: felipelalli: i recommend explaining
to your father asap
that it's better not
to sell whole package at once
trinque: opening
trilema in public is always a dice roll
decimation: yeah, somebody somewhere pulled
the
trigger, no doubt
felipelalli: jurov: I'm not sure yet, it is not for me, but
to my father. As soon I have more details, can I contact you in pvt?
ascii_field: <decimation> another point
to note - if
the former speaker of
the house/k street lobbyist can't access cash in an anonymous way, what chance
to regular people have? << if he is on
trial,
then it follows
that he first fell from grace
☟︎ trinque: topic of "where
the fuck did you come from?"
trinque: I always
think of Jessie Ventura's story about being summoned
to DC for questioning by
the CIA
decimation: well,
they are elected by
the same cattle generally
trinque: does seem
though
that certain
things always find a willing judge
trinque: perhaps just being a part of
the same govt is enough for
them
to help each other
