Adlai: right, that's why it's showing up
as an unrealized loss, rather than a realized gain
cazalla: This, however, is very much the result of choices in the design of the system: anyone may create a bitcoin address at a whim,
as long
as it is unique. But the Bitcoin Foundation—the organization that has authority over the bitcoin protocol—could change that. Before creating a new address, users could be forced to authenticate with a trusted organization. This organization would securely store information about identities, and this infor
mircea_popescu: decimation the ones who "don't" are more valuable
as bezzle access. the ones who "do" really don't.
decimation: wtf, when did it ever make sense
as a creditor to make enemies with those who had money in order to court those who don't?
decimation: "Chief Executive Officer Ken Chenault, 63, has introduced new products aimed at younger and less-affluent customers
as AmEx seeks to broaden its appeal. The lender is working with companies including Uber Technologies Inc. and Apple Inc. to expand mobile payments, and courted Americans who lack access to traditional banks with products like its Bluebird prepaid card, offered at Wal-Mart Stores Inc."
mircea_popescu: but in fact, the moderately stupid are just
as handicapped understanding why they aren't smarter
as very smart people are, understanding THE SAME THING (ie, why they aren't smarter).
gribble: Nick 'herbijudlestoids', with hostmask 'herbijudlestoids!~sina@c220-239-186-144.randw3.nsw.optusnet.com.au', is identified

Vexual: ascii that snatch sniffer might work just
as well without the batteries if you get the thing close enough.
herbijudlestoids: i mean, this device, it can handle decrypt/sign in the same way
as cardano, but also add the ability for the user to write and encrypt a message with their key using the touchscreen
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: imho time spent on 0.9.x other than mining for zoological data (mutilations, fixes) is wasted << Indeed shit just doesn't work there

as we go around that ops stuff
mircea_popescu: this includes the IETF
as well
as it includes the AMA.
mircea_popescu: Medicine, or the APA, can legitimately express a policy only if the policy was grounded in science or logic. Perhaps the APA cares to release this intriguing scientific data? (While it is at it, perhaps it can also release the data supporting the use of half of the medications currently favored by APA Guidelines?) But this seems pretty much business
as usual for the APA. Rather than work on its own serious failings,
mircea_popescu: You can't get away with pat answers, such
as psychiatrists see the psychiatric ramifications of discrimination or being unable to marry. There are psychiatric ramifications of bankruptcy, and war, but no one felt compelled to write a policy statement on it (and thank God.)

BingoBoingo: From what I understand commercial shop Mtier which does a lot of their ports does "OpenBSD with Gnome and support contracts"

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: 0.7.2 -qt on OpenBSD with some 0.5.3.1 patches applied
as they can be (i.e. scrolling reading and fingers rather than patch utility)
mircea_popescu: "A similar example is the often cited myth that diagnosis of bipolar disorder is frequently missed. A survey found that 69% of patients were actually misdiagnosed, most often
as having regular depression. An average of 4 physicians were consulted “prior to receiving the correct diagnosis.” But who is to say what is the correct diagnosis, when the diagnosis is based on vague and overlapping descriptions (and not
BingoBoingo: I'm just watching the blocks sync and thinking to the history I and verifying
as it passed. Solidly in the S.Dice era nao
BingoBoingo: Dis-Able was first born. Disable spend many years in the shadows ruining sound and making daemon no one wanted. Pain came into the world with a bang out of Africa, promised ease at the cost of nothing working
as expectabru. Two years ago they each decided to play the other's part and now systemd is loud while ubuntu silent becomes the quiet daemon that breaks apps in the background.
mircea_popescu: at this point i'm not even sure gavin jumping off the coq d'argent would qualify

as you said it loses sight of L2, but that's cause sheer number of users in L2.
mircea_popescu: "How you can hire me: You can't. I don't work for money. Money is a technology that destroys trust. Its entire purpose is to short-circuit human relationships in order to insert itself
as a middleman. It makes everybody spend more money, at more emotional cost, for things that make us angry at each other. Don't offer to pay me. Seriously. If you offer me money, I will decline on principle."
JimJamReid: Hi All, I am currently conducting interviews for my university research paper on using Bitcoin
as an alternative to traditional currencies, would anyone be interested in participating?
thestringpuller: i was thinking of rendering
as force layout without interactivity and then dumping the resulting SVG
BingoBoingo:
As I typed that I though I might be missing some non-zero numbers
BingoBoingo:
As in make the choice to do that? Or would they actually do that because it is both hard and stupid
chetty: interesting, if all packages only came
as source sure would cut down on derpage on the nets, imagine reddtards have to build their own ie
mod6: maybe throw a `uname -a` in there
as well
Apocalyptic: BingoBoingo, note that the use of arc4 stream cipher for randomness in something

decimation: maybe it will compile on osx
as a side effect
mod6: i'd much rather program this type of stuff in perl
as opposed to sh/bash/ksh/csh/tcsh/zsh/ash *stab*
decimation: if you are gonna go that route you might
as well use vnc or other 'slim' window-network protocol
ben_vulpes: maybe i should run an x server on the remote host
as well!
mod6: yeah, ok, seems about the same
as fbsd
thestringpuller: and
as BingoBoingo just said, CPP standard lib is terrible
ascii_field: BingoBoingo: if you want to build on bsd, set the ifdefs
as if for mac
pete_dushenski: which is reasonable given that in 20 years the serene republic will own it
as a summer resort ;)
pete_dushenski:
as to whether this works in the populated arctic... i dunno
pete_dushenski: well i'm hardly going to disagree that everyone getting something "just
as good" makes the whole lot of us worse off
ben_vulpes: and yes, the "computer"
as a modern invention (from the c machine on forwards to the consumer laptop) is an entirely awful fork in the technological roadmap.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski right. those twits ? their dad was nobody, some anon derp with,
as orwell put it, "Well-meaning, over-civilized men, in dark suits and black felt hats, with neatly rolled umbrellas crooked over the left forearm, were imposing their constipated view of life"
pete_dushenski:
as of july 2015, no cars built before 1997 will be permitted in the city centre

as everyone in the us has a full belly nothing is going to change
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
as far
as they see it, because fucktarded politburo is poisonng gender relaitons.

decimation:

as well suck the shorter, better paying cock.
mircea_popescu: this is my ukrainian prediction : that before the decade is out a) kiev will be widely reported to have run atrocious concentration camps and b) the us/nato will be misrepresenting themselves
as "against this" and russia
as somehow related to it.
Adlai: disclaimer: ideas produced on or around 4:20 are to be considered
as highdeas, regardless of the author's actual mental state (in this case, drunk)
assbot: Logged on 10-02-2015 02:58:05; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, BingoBoingo, cazalla, other writery folks: anybody up for writing a basic likbez for the 'unified theory' of amplification attack
as it applies not only to boring ddos but to gavincoin and in general to any system where some bozo can inflict cost C on you by spending c where c < C
PeterL: does log bloat count
as ddos? it is not really denying you services?
