ben_vulpes:
as the machinery wears out, it...wears out.
danielpbarron: i've used cannabis
as money; doesn't make it not stupid
NewLiberty: But having minted a fair share of silver, I have some opinions on the use of "dollar"
as that paper drek
NewLiberty: But the word is not what is commonly referred to
as a dollar
NewLiberty: "If this forks
as currently proposed, I'll be selling all my BTC on Gavin's fork and mining on the other. I suspect I will not be the only one."
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell asciilifeform could you recommend a book that would serve
as an 'amateur's intro to digital security' ?
brendafdez: they love anything that can be portrayed in a bad light
as the shady things that happen in this third world country. Like using bitcoin to avoid selling the usd to the government and then selling the bitcoins in the street
brendafdez: they won't mention it
as anything other than a website from 1993, it's above their head, they only realize it when it's too late. They wouldn't take me srlsly if i show them that xD
BingoBoingo: brendafdez: It will probably ingratiate you to no end with the NYtimes people if you point out that noone in Argentina seems
as dangerous
as that NYPD street gang
brendafdez: Well, if I ever get into the adware business I'll package it
as a 'miner' and sponsor bitcoin conferences, no doubt
brendafdez: Last time was also Pete from Coindesk, he interviewed all the poeple claiming to run 'exchanges' here. There are a huge numer of such 'exchanges', most of which don't even exist like coinmelon (refered to by mp
as coinmuon bc of the sign at the doorbell). Then there's Latincoin, which is also there athe 'embassy' and also doesn't even exist and is only piching to 'investors' to get money with no product. Last time they were asking for $7
☟︎ brendafdez: I didn't ask him what move him. He's very interested in 'seeing the black market in action'. They see it in an amusing light,
as if that's a bad thing or something, like going around the city with stacks of cash. And that's actually the closest it gets to bitcoin in fiat.
BingoBoingo: <brendafdez> it's the second time he's in Argentina interviewing the people he *thinks matter in bitcoin here << Thet tend to suck at identifying that, but it could just
as much be the orders they recieve from their political commisar
BingoBoingo: I merely hypothesize RGIII
as inpet enough to miss mocsony's men definitiomn
mircea_popescu: a) the difference is not even significantly above statistical noise ; b) significant fudge, such
as, "women are more likely to self-flatter themselves this particular way" not accounted for in ANY manner.
mircea_popescu: "The results were overwhelming: 88 percent of women reported having experienced at least one incident in which their friendliness was misinterpreted
as sexual interest by a man, and on average it had occurred about 3.5 times in the last year alone. Men also reported experiencing sexual misperception, but the rate — 70.6 percent — was far lower. These rates were pretty similar to what was found in the original, U.S.
mike_c: ;;later tell mircea_popescu you might
as well put my name on the wot job. looks like i'm doing it.
decimation: well,
as has been covered by tlp, there is much profit to be made in labeling pathologies
decimation:
as long
as you have a 'health expense'
ben_vulpes: i suppose loss cost goes down
as a function of herd size
ben_vulpes: max out of pocket (
as if that can be trusted): 6k
BingoBoingo: Instructor was not very happy in cataloging class when I suggested I turn in my homework on cassette tape
as it resembles the media most that MARC was made for.
BingoBoingo: ANd earlier in undergrad orders to stop submitting hmework
as beautifully printed Latex
BingoBoingo: Early freshman year of college I was playing with slowaris and FreeBSD
as serious computing solutions. Six years later I was contemplating upnade to windows 8 taken classes in VB.net for web applications because library school.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I went thorugh collenge notebooks stiking out entire years
as total losses.
BingoBoingo: At this moment I am convinced that even in the absence of a crypto exploit for multisig the PR campaign persists to standardize a set of worst practices
as "ISO"
decimation: mircea_popescu: "what he is saying is, "you can not give me an unbounded task and then expect me to reason about it. you already set the tone
as metaphysical by your task description"" < aye, and he should have said "I cannot accomplish that which you desire"
assbot: Logged on 18-02-2015 14:49:27; nubbins`: Save us from confusing grammar such
as “everyone must have their books.” Make it instead “everyone must have zher books.” It then becomes clear that each person must have one’s own book and not the books of all the others. It is also shorter and less awkward than having to say “his or her” all the time.
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: "And if some high official, such
as the president, says zhe will use gender-neutral pronouns for zher own writing, and ask that those writing to zhim do so also, that would provide a powerful boost." << conversely, if some hehigh officialman such
as the manpresidentguy fucked a dog^H^H^H bitch
nubbins`: might
as well blame the wind. what's to gain?
mircea_popescu: what he is saying is, "you can not give me an unbounded task and then expect me to reason about it. you already set the tone
as metaphysical by your task description"
mircea_popescu: it's not so much a "i want those guys back"
as it is "i want the situaiton where being 20 and into computers was more distinctive than any other thing - and you could spot a govt mole from a mile away"
☟︎☟︎ jurov:
as long
as you made no transactions involving wires or floppies, then yes.
kakobrekla: you actually dont have to go that far. for me 100years + is pretty much
as good
as infinite,
as i dont expect to see it
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: but to somehow lay out electrical logic elements at the customary densities << you're right that it's the wrong thought, and also, "customary" - honestly even making something like a z80,
as long
as it can be made at home, with equipment costing about what a z80 cost, is well worth it.
jurov: what to do when said guy wants to keep said spider
as pet?
jurov: i understod it
as "replace her, him and it both by `zer`"
nubbins`: "The thing is, I don't think there will ever be mass adoption of the system
as it exist today. The 'average Joe' will be using some payment processor and not the blockchain directly. So the blockchain will have transactions from payment processors and early adopters/enthusiasts. The rest will be in closed systems and/or side chains that can solve a lot of the volume issues."
nubbins`: all this "perhaps if we are just open about our abject failures
as humans" stuff
danielpbarron: "Thanks. This is very enlightening and reveals the true motivations behind Mircea Popescu objections. He has made an investment in up to 10k nodes that would be obsolete if Gavin pushes through his hard fork. Why doesn't he honestly bring to the community these concerns
as one of his principle motivations so we can try and find a solution together? The fact that he is not being forthright with this concern is troubling to sa
nubbins`: danielpbarron here, in times past, "thousands" was used
as an immeasurable
danielpbarron: well if they aren't reporting a greater version then they might
as well not be using it (the version is used to decide with the fork, hard or soft, happens)
thestringpuller: ben_vulpes: My keys are airgapped,
as in I am physically separated from access cause I don't have something secure to shuttle them en-mobile. I.e. cardano....
kakobrekla: no, but i can show negative rating
as negative rating
nubbins`:
as an aside, the pogoplug MOBILE (blue logo) does NOT accept SATA
nubbins`: i prefer to use "they"
as a gender neutral pronoun
BingoBoingo: "And if some high official, such
as the president, says it will use gender-neutral pronouns for its own writing, and ask that those writing to it do so also, that would provide a powerful boost." << Ther fixed with objectification

danielpbarron: yeah i've had an account for a while, but just noticed it's been flagged
as "not human"
kakobrekla: gribble's auth is
as good
as assbots voice
nubbins`: BingoBoingo this is about
as deserving of a system
as the stack of plates in your kitchen cupboard :)
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Think of it
as a rescue mission. Save the precious BTC by trying to get them to safe private keys out of the web3.0 grasp.
ben_vulpes: someone took pity on me in the warehouse
as i worked my way through quarter inch plate with a hand cutter and provided me with an acetylene torch.
decimation: "I’m
as strong
as I have been. I think the only concern is our law enforcement is expected to stop every plot. Every attack. Any bomb on a plane. The first time that attack takes place in which it turns out that we had a lead and we couldn’t follow up on it, the public’s going to demand answers." < 'leadership' at its finest
decimation: I don't see how one could 'shrink' a fab into anything smaller than it is (
as it currently exists)

cazalla: i actually saw this the other day
https://twitter.com/CAVIRTEX/status/567328589993897984 but let it slide
as the website said something a little different (BTC and LTC wallets have been disabled due to a known issue. All customer funds are safe. Please be patient while we address the issue.)and i figured it would turn out
as a nothing, way to be wrong eh
Adlai: incidentally, she did to,
as will the doge
Adlai: swap is there
as a failsafe, it ran just fine 101 days without it, but i'd rather not take chances if things go crazy while i'm asleep
Adlai: "i'm renting a physical *(yes)* box" <-
as in, "have i visited the box personally and confirmed that it occupies the same reality
as me? _yes_"
pete_dushenski:
as if any of those words were descriptive or actionable
lobbes: I wouldn't add much value, but I'd work for free
as an extra set of hands/eyes. You'd still need someone that knew what they were doing, of course. Plus I wouldn't be available 24/7 so maybe I'd be no use lol
