assbot: Logged on 24-04-2015 19:00:59; ben_vulpes: williamdunne: the people i want using bitcoin take one look at the source and run screaming,
as they should
Pierre_Rochard: well I’m a gaullist, I tend to respect sovereignties
as a matter of realpolitik
trinque: davout | trinque: i'm not getting dragged into "where should application logic live" debates :-) << can be quite enjoyable
as long
as one's not personally attached to the outcome
trinque: davout | well, you, just pushing that to the extreme to show that, even though i hardly ever use it, this unstructured nosql approach sometimes is useful, and isn't *inherently* evil like you seem to imply << there is no such thing
as unstructured data, only a question of how rigorously structured it is, and what is used to enforce that.
funkenstein_: if it is
as simple
as adding a SIGtype, that sounds fine but my understanding was there was still some subtleties on the table and gmaxwell said wait 2 years
ben_vulpes: (i was just thanked by someone who plugged into the same outlet
as me. wtf.)
funkenstein_:
as i see it these channels will require private TXs, that is given directly to miners, to avoid malleability issues
ben_vulpes: williamdunne: the people i want using bitcoin take one look at the source and run screaming,
as they should
☟︎ Adlai: "use"
as in "spend"
Pierre_Rochard would vote for “time”
as the strongest impediment to growth
williamdunne: I'm not promoting Gavin's proposal,
as it is definitely stupid
Pierre_Rochard: williamdunne: it’s the same
as saying your internet provider can continue charging you through the nose and you’ll continue thanking them for the privilege - inelasticity of demand
williamdunne: Pierre_Rochard: In fairness thats about the same
as saying my internet speeds today aren't affecting my ability to do things, so it won't in the future.
Pierre_Rochard: leftists speak of financialization of the economy over the past ~40 years, seems
as though this new era is timeshareization
williamdunne: It'd be nice if they could connect, especially
as they can still verify the signatures on each.
williamdunne: Something about downtime and a vulnerability is what I read on btcalpha but not much detail
as to exactly what
BingoBoingo: It's hard enough to find sync worthy nodes in the wild
as is
williamdunne: Especially
as the blockchain is starting to get too big for cheap VPS systems used for most services
hanbot could indeed not be assed, not nearly
as generous
as mp.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i doubt hanbot cares enough. but, part of the perks of this deal - qntra now has bulletproof hosting
as part of the package.
ben_cash: "high tech",
as herr lifeform says.
ben_cash: might
as well take a picture of my shoe
ben_cash: once i get the requisite harnesses you can put your butt in it
as well
assbot: Logged on 23-04-2015 22:15:47; mircea_popescu: "I have decided I've had enough. I'm never going to transition successfully, even when I move out. I'm never going to be happy with the way I look or sound. I'm never going to have enough friends to satisfy me. I'm never going to have enough love to satisfy me. I'm never going to find a man who loves me. I'm never going to be happy. Either I live the rest of my life
as a lonely man who wishes he were
hanbot would like to see people physically manifested
as the sum of the handicaps they imagine they're stuck with.
mircea_popescu: same thing
as the age old "i tried therefore no one may criticize me!"
mircea_popescu: same nonsense
as in the previous "rape" thing, "you may not dispute my feelings, you may only feel sorry for them". herp.
mircea_popescu: Pierre_Rochard trinque i dunno doods. seems to me the "i am not interested in participating in this world"
as a perfectly valid reason.
trinque: mircea_popescu: invents impossible alternative that he must have, or else why live!
as a sort of rationalization to finally get over the fear of doing it
mircea_popescu: my life
as a lonelier woman who hates herself. There's no winning. There's no way out. I'm sad enough already, I don't need my life to get any worse. People say "it gets better" but that isn't true in my case. It gets worse. Each day I get worse. That's the gist of it, that's why I feel like killing myself. Sorry if that's not a good enough reason for you, it's good enough for me."
mircea_popescu: "I have decided I've had enough. I'm never going to transition successfully, even when I move out. I'm never going to be happy with the way I look or sound. I'm never going to have enough friends to satisfy me. I'm never going to have enough love to satisfy me. I'm never going to find a man who loves me. I'm never going to be happy.

☟︎ Naphex: might
as well get ready for govcoin. MIT, DCI, bitcoin devs, something something whitehouse
Pierre_Rochard: “The bank application for itBit Trust Company LLC lists three bigwigs in government and regulatory circles
as "organizers," including former Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Chairman Sheila Bair, former Financial Accounting Standards Board director Robert Herz and former New Jersey Sen. Bill Bradley. Organizers are responsible for setting up limited liability companies in New York, but do not necessarily hold
Naphex: mircea_popescu: great! getting ready for launch on the last run. been busy
as hell. how was the conference? sorry i couldn't make it :/
mircea_popescu: trinque you seriously can run a site
as flat html and just awk it into submission
trinque: yes and paper should be printed right
as you are turning the page
mircea_popescu: it was born essentially
as the first bezzle thing, "we'll make you a Content Management System" to justify X agency spending more on a website than it's worth.
hanbot: so what, that which can be frankensteined into working doesn't deserve to be made
as a whole, from the start?
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: I can do it, but I'm not hugely interested in running it
as a business
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> mike_c: I was pointing out "sotware" << sotware lol.
as in, "you sot"!
pete_dushenski: "An upgrade which allows for larger block sizes is also likely to be adopted because the current limit of 1 MB will eventually limit Bitcoin's value
as a form of money." << idem.
williamdunne: pete_dushenski: Would you have preferred it had he worded it
as your choice is based upon the choices of those superior in your WoT? i.e if BitPay is at the top of my WoT (lol) and they are on newcoin, I'll be on newcoin
BingoBoingo: mod6: On the foundation page "This sotware is provided by The Bitcoin Foundation `
as is' and any express or implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose are disclaimed."
mircea_popescu: the truth is that for about half of the us, the marginal benefit of spending another 1k per capita on their health is unrecoverable,
as they won't produce in excess of that 1k. ever.
pete_dushenski: i don't, i could've just
as well said 'like i want a hole in the head'
pete_dushenski: right, it really doesn't matter what *i* want so much
as what's practically needed
williamdunne: pete_dushenski: From what I can tell the objection you all have is that Gavin's suggestion is constant inflation,
as opposed to the block-size being anything other than 1mb
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: i'd love to be here more. i'm here
as much
as i can!
mircea_popescu: she has a story, he has another,
as it would be the case.
mircea_popescu: the guy is a total douche,
as far
as his emails let on, and the woman is both smarter and more collected than him, for sure. they weren't a good fit anyway.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Yeah I'd say that probably counts
as some form
as rape. In the same way that stealing a handbag from inside a locked house is burglary
mircea_popescu: williamdunne
as the old expression goes in porn, "if you're naked, you're fucking"
williamdunne: I can understand being upset at being raped
as-well, assuming it wasn't one of the new-fangled versions of "rape"
mircea_popescu: apparently,
as the female mind goes, men have agency only with their permission or something.
mircea_popescu: "You violated my consent, my body and my trust. You made me doubt my love for rope and my career
as a professional model. What you did is legally considered
as rape, and YOU are not allowed to minimise it for your own interest. YOU are only allowed to be sorry, certainly not to be upset at anyone for letting other people know what you did."
mircea_popescu: dude this shit is epic. fetlife essentially exists
as a sort of liverjournal, it comes out.
mats: mircea_popescu: "Verifies key material was created by a GnuPG version ulterior to 1.4.10 and prior to 1.4.20" << what should happen if --no-emit-version is included
as a flag?
mircea_popescu:
as per plato's education : in a cave bereft of light, light hurts the eyes. in a world where education's a long lost tech, education hurts the mind.
mircea_popescu: i suppose
as the legal concept is defined in english, this factually is terrorism.
mircea_popescu: "He could fall under international terrorism law
as a cyber terrorist, if I am not mistaken."
mats: tomorrow AMZN will release earnings, esp
as rel. to AWS
trinque: I was eyeballing it
as a rest interface generator thinger before tripping over postgreset
ben_vulpes: did briefly look into providing "how likely is this addr to doublespend"
as a service
liquidassets: I'd rather bring in
as much btc
as possible before spending it
ascii_launchpad wonders how many of these 'beautiful surprises' it would take to make mircea_popescu a candidate for same nuthouse
as ascii_launchpad
artifexd: I would prefer not to use the word "audit"
as that implies I am qualified to do so.
mircea_popescu: (i dun imagine anyone seriously deluded themselves into the belief that mit's involvement is going to disuade anyone one ; i do imagine mit thought itself large enough to absorb the shock and not end up like mtgox
as a result - which is just
as silly, but not necessarily visible from boston)
mike_c: "I’m offering MIT
as a neutral academic home for some of the conversations and the technical coordination"
ascii_lander: l0l
as if it wasn't clear that gavin will not starve or be reduced to honest work
mats: "MIT is no longer the hallowed Library of Alexandria that shared the Lisp Machine and SICP with the world. Today, its made up of showmen and fools like Gavin, who endeavor to destroy software they don't understand, on behalf of a handler. Your relevance fades, and in a decade your cohorts will disavow any knowledge of you. Enjoy your faux relevancy
as long
mircea_popescu: "I’m not going to make this about the so-called hacker who is responsible for the list, claiming he did it to prove a point about the safety of Fetlife’s members. Attention is what the douchebag wants and I refuse to give it to him. Now, did he breach Fetlife
as he’s claimed? Of course not. That takes a skill he lacks."
mircea_popescu: "hey, i'm just
as stupid
as him, but at least i'm not fat!"
jurov: i understood it
as the overinflated self-worth replacing the hydrogen, not adding a lift :)
mircea_popescu: which i suppose makes me the perfect storm of a horribru father (
as per reddit) : the cross between "absent and physically abusive military father." and "coke snorting, random hooker banging, land development dealing father."
ben_vulpes: stuff them into her mouth. The anger drained out of GTS, to be replaced by disbelief and disgust,
as she stood there watching JLW eat floor pizza.
ben_vulpes: GTS managed to get a grip on the box, which sent JLW into a Fat-Fury™ frenzy of incoherant screaming and flailing limbs. One of which smacked GTS right in the face, causing her to spill the remaining slices all over the ground. Her fist clenched
as her arm drew back and I knew nothing would stop her from punching JLW right in the face. Except JLW was already on the ground, desperately trying to
ben_vulpes: and the cadence of speech you employ when forced to beat sense into such
as me
ben_vulpes: little do they know that the episcopalians dragged me through this particular gutter
as a youth and cemented my opinions of the subhumans.
