ascii_field: (at extortionate interest, but
that's a separate question)
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: speaking from
the chumpatronic jail here, just about any schmuck can get at least 5 digits of loansharkamatic without breaking a sweat
mircea_popescu: if you imagine random guy in
this world can borrow for any purpose you're nuts. all banks lend
to nat'l government and us government only.
assbot: Logged on 20-03-2015 19:23:04; ascii_field: felipelalli: linked
to usd << can go borrow usd right now,
trivially
trinque: RagnarDanneskjol: ^ lemme know if you'd like
the current deedbot
to use
that nick
punkman: trinque, I
think Ragnar had "deedbot" account, you can ask him
ascii_field: trinque: rng in ic is a dead concept right off
the bat
trinque: eh it's already deedbot lots of places, probably best with
the current nick
trinque: is
there some ancient processor which has an rng
that works?
mircea_popescu: it is sort-of a feature, you only get
to see
the noobish beginnings of people newer
than you.
brendafdez: ok :P
then it'll have
to be done
the hard way ;)
danielpbarron: that's a feature! nobody wants
their first words
to be seen again :p
mircea_popescu: yeah i
think you found a problem
that can't actually be resolved with currently available
tools.
brendafdez: I was
trying
to see
the first messages in
the chan by each user. If a user has say 50000 messages, I can't find a way
to see
the pages with
the earliest 45000.
[]bot: Bet placed: 2.5 BTC for No on "BTC
to
top $500 before June 29th"
http://bitbet.us/bet/1130/ Odds: 1(Y):99(N) by coin, 1(Y):99(N) by weight.
Total bet: 2.6 BTC. Current weight: 99,994.
mircea_popescu: brendafdez i
thought search automatically sorts by
time, descending ?
brendafdez: I was searching
the logs and couldn't find a way
to sort by date ascending.
Tried setting
the start parameter
to a value close
to
the
total number of results, but it won't
take values greater
than 5000. :( Is
there a way
to do it?
assbot: Logged on 20-03-2015 19:03:25; felipelalli: Anyone can write about
this on qntra.net?
They just eliminate one of
the best features of BTCJam.
mircea_popescu: anyway, is btcjam just about cooked up enough
to go belly up or does it still have
thread
to survive
this year ?
assbot: Logged on 20-03-2015 17:32:01; kakobrekla: recently got fixed and now causing
trouble down
the line
trinque: if I can't get deedbot, I'll just do it with
the dash
trinque: anybody know punkman's status? wanted
to get
the bot squared away with a proper nick,
then get
that autovoiced
mircea_popescu: naphex ahahaha romania-insider, you should see
that
thing o gawd.
ascii_field: zap
the predators, zap
their prey - we don't need either for anything
assbot: Logged on 10-02-2015 03:30:16; asciilifeform: also claimed
to be working on a 'military' path
to sovereign moldbuggistan, which screams 'provocateur'
jurov: i can see
that, except for slowness or even meticulousness
ascii_field: and slowly, meticulously form a picture of who gets
the red carpet
to
the gasenwagen and when
ascii_field: the way it works, when it works, is
that moles actually
take
the
trouble
to read (or even provocateur...) in
the forum
jurov: btw i don't get how would such data mining work.. someone would have
to collect all
the information first
ascii_field: every day when i wake up still alive, i know
that i have not yet achieved anything.
trinque: ascii_field: well I
think I'm echoing a sentiment I've heard from you; I wont be grabbing my rifle any
time soon
ascii_field: but
trinque's observation brings
to mind one of mine
ascii_field: the 'honest man hanged by six words he wrote' is not hanged 1/6th of
the way by each
trinque: michael hastings had what seems
to me a long life by most measures of govt oppression
trinque: seems like you have
to go directly after
them pretty hard before
they kill you
trinque: chetty: maybe, years can make
the inconceivable inevitable
chetty: <trinque> I'll go out on a limb and say
they're not rounding up people for derping on IRC//yet
trinque: as much as
that would make one
the star of one's own action movie
trinque: I'll go out on a limb and say
they're not rounding up people for derping on IRC
Adlai: ascii_field: lies,
there is no whitelist
trinque: well,
that wasn't
the right keybinding
ascii_field: order 'anarchist's cookbook', get on
the 'harmless idiots' list
☟︎ trinque: danielpbarron: order a nodejs book and
throw
them off
danielpbarron: someone pointed out
to me
that if i wasn't already a
terrorist suspect, buying
the reference manual
to
the language for airplanes isn't going
to help
that image
danielpbarron: oh btw i got my ADA reference manual;
things quite nice. it's from a public library and it looks as
though nobody ever checked it out
felipelalli: danielpbarron: 1) well, you will never know. 2) don't put all your eggs in
the same basket.
felipelalli: danielpbarron: I have
to go now! :) I'll write an article about
this bad move of BTCJam soon.
Thank you.
danielpbarron: i doubt 1) your entropy generating abilities 2) your not
telling a secret when a hot iron is inserted into your body abilities
felipelalli: Depends on situation. For example: I had
to spend some unforeseen money and I didn't want
to climb a mountain
to get my bitcoins, so I got a loan with a very low interest rate.
☟︎ danielpbarron: if you have some arbitrage opportunity, and it's worked in
the past, you should have bitcoin from last
time
to make it work again
this
time.. so why
the need
to borrow?
ascii_field: felipelalli: linked
to usd << can go borrow usd right now,
trivially
☟︎ danielpbarron: felipelalli, like what ascii said, if
that were profitable you should already have a stash with which
to work
felipelalli: danielpbarron ascii_field many reasons, like arbitrage for example. But you can borrow linked
to USD or BRL.
ascii_field: and someone, knowing
this, wants
to lend ?
ascii_field: then you don't need
to borrow, just start with epsilon
danielpbarron: i know a guy (Birdman) who borrows it
to play poker
ascii_field: if you can reliably
turn x btc into kx for some nonzero positive k,
felipelalli: danielpbarron: so, you are not
the
target,
that's why you are not worried.
danielpbarron: i don't except with very close associates and even
then i'd really rather not
ascii_field wishes he could buy
the entire issue of
the 'pocorgfo' in hard cover archival paper
felipelalli: danielpbarron: but do you
think BTCJam was a crap from
the start
to end?
ascii_field: see also last week's
thread re: specificity of diddlage
danielpbarron: and people were using piratat40's "service" for a while
too
ascii_field: trinque: spoiler: recall
that
the XORing also happens on same cpu
felipelalli: danielpbarron: I'm sad.
They killed a service
that I was using for years. It isn't
that good, but...
trinque: ascii_field: is it possible
to use random data from multiple sources
that are diddled, but by different manufacturers, and get usable random data?
