there
Adlai: BingoBoingo: no,
the best part: McSwagger was awakened from a deep sleep by his pager, only
to find out
that he was being called by his own nurse, apparently because he needed something for sleep
mircea_popescu: then again if
THAT didn't work it wouldn't surprise me.
mircea_popescu: but yes,
the execration has occured
to me a number of
times.
mircea_popescu: well how
the fuck was i
to know a year later ima be all
the way up in
thompsoncpp
BingoBoingo: “It was all very surreal.
The nurse
told me my patient had arrived on
the ward. I
told her I was
the patient. She apparently
thought I was making an existential statement and replied ‘aren’t we all just
the sum of our patients and our patience’. I know, it doesn’t make any sense
to me either now, but at
the
time it was profound, because, you know, dilaudid. “
assbot: Logged on 02-04-2015 16:09:47; mod6: Ok, so say
that you have installed via offical docs, bla bla bla. Ok,
then our release doesn't work. But we need
to fix defects, and I refuse
to have
this happen going forward. So we need something repeatable.
Cogburn: thank, you but you need not keep voicing me. I'll consider
the invitation for
the WoT. Glad
to clear some
things up. Have a great night.
mircea_popescu: conceivably
this will come down
to "use so and so, version no later
than X, and you will have
to either not use sound or use one of
these sound cards"
assbot: Logged on 02-04-2015 16:06:28; asciilifeform: nor should nubbins`, or ben_vulpes, or
the rest.

thestringpuller: no. i'm going
to have
to cancel for family reasons related
to finance
mircea_popescu: ( ) Extreme profitability of spam << i
take it
this was 2000ish ?
mircea_popescu: kinda why you'd expect governments
to do better
than
they are, really.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
those forums... sorta
tardstalk before
the bitcoin.
assbot: Logged on 02-04-2015 15:27:23; nubbins`: wow,
the latest DDOS attack against
the forum seems
to have reinstated
the ability
to change/add avatars
mircea_popescu: i suppose it's
targeted at folks who
think
the usg is a good idea and windows an operating system.
assbot: Logged on 02-04-2015 15:06:45; asciilifeform: What You Need
to Know About
the Unsealed Silk Road Docket << i do so hate
these 'what you need
to know'
titles. implication is
that no serious person would need
to know anything else
mircea_popescu: i suppose you're right -
this service existing is sufficient prooof what it's serving isn't crypto.
mircea_popescu: no but i mean for srs.
this could actually be done correctly
mircea_popescu: any random string being hashable, any random string could be used as a pubkey, in principle. may
take some work
to mine a usable privkey
to go with it, but...
cazalla: <Cogburn> Hahahah we had a
twitter fight a year ago and people
think i hate you <<< not people, your friend from coinwhatever website
mircea_popescu: how does it even work, you hash
the "public key" and
then multiply it with something ? sorta halfass rsa ?
danielpbarron: cazalla, Patch.com reports
the arrest of a Massachusetts man who sort
to purchase a firearm << should be "sought
to purchase" ?
Cogburn: Okay. I did not ever
think
that bitcoin would outperform BH.
Cogburn: I apparently did an interview with a blogger antagonistic
to you and I wanted
to clarify any guilt by association
Cogburn: Hahahah we had a
twitter fight a year ago and people
think i hate you
mircea_popescu: btw, anyone ever got rms' new autoreply ?
the one where he goes "i'm on a 48 hour delay like mpex" ?
Cogburn: Dunno. Not my problem. I know he has one. I know he's passionate about it.
That's what I
think is important.
The rest is how history will remember our efforts.
Cogburn: It's a
tool
that provides an opportunity
to do something
truly different with
the world.
To
take advantage, we must be different.
Cogburn: I
think
those of us who get
this blockchain bitcoin magic internet money bullshit have
the opportunity
to demonstrate and lead by example. Quite frankly IDGAF if MP is crazy or I disagree. I
think he's doing it right. I
think he knows he's doing it right,
too :)
trinque: many ways, probably. but I
think it's naive
to
think
that
transition happens all nice and easy like
danielpbarron: slavery isn't
the problem with
the current state of affairs; it's
this mentality of "i should get
to eat while also
talking back
to my master"
that has
to go
trinque: now, how do you demonstrate
that
there's a different way of being, defining
the world, etc
trinque: I
think ultimately people will choose whatever gives
them
the best life, and
the sad current condition is
that
this is what
they've chosen, because
this is all
they can see.
Cogburn: I appreciate some people just don't want
to deal with some shit.
That doesn't make
them bad.
