teward: can't auth as a nick that was stolen from me
teward: as i said, the bot is broke
gribble: CAUTION: irc nick differs from otc registered nick. Nick 'teward', with hostmask 'teward!LordOfTime@ubuntu/member/teward', is identified as user 'TheLordOfTime', with GPG key id 406253859C1129B6, key fingerprint FE87E56959370E1989828103406253859C1129B6, and bitcoin address 1LEKacNEUzD4gStZScnG2vgkQ9HmpMz1Kp

cazalla: i guess so but first 2 weeks of jan were slow just as the last 2 weeks of december were
asciilifeform believed, at one point, that the existence of braindamaged programming languages is not a total evil, as they draw mentally defective folks away from actual programming. but, after reading, e.g., the work of the 'power rangers', - is not so sure.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, what i don't get is that on reddit, you see the idea of a paywall and microtransactions always discussed as bitcoin's killer app and yet when they come across it being implemented, they cry scam
punkman: as to the chinese lenses, they mostly work, many don't fill the entire frame though
mircea_popescu: "A sampling of 30% of average forum users isn't the same as 30% of the community, and certainly not the ecosystem. In reality individual users and organizations carry different weight. At the end of the day people who believe in Bitcoin (and invest their money into it) will do what they can to protect that value. The fork which has the most economic value will be the one most likely to survive with confidence of those
davout: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=31-01-2015#999675 <<< not that there is such a thing as 'american cheese', slightly less poisonous plastic maybe ☝︎
BingoBoingo: It is still the same as qntra desktop.
mircea_popescu: davout no, roast as in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y53JLJDOEvE
davout: mircea_popescu: that does count as food
ben_vulpes: i think as host you should be c3's target
cjc: Cool, thanks -- Mostly, I'm around overnight hours in CST -- as I work 3rd shift.
cjc: Its not really held up to the focus as established, perhaps due to insufficient moderation or self enforcement.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo that is actually the theory i've "come up with" myself. << I've accepted that the American conditioning to remove all the flavors if it isn't explicitly done to cultivate stupid, continues with stupid accepted as a positive side effect.
cjc: I've also nabbed the first/last initials as a nick and grouped them too.
asciilifeform: as in, run with just the tarballs and the required empty dir.
asciilifeform: as soon as loads even one block.
asciilifeform: instead of local dir as specified in recipe
asciilifeform: second - were you using the build script exactly as given ?
punkman: "open source as long as the chinese don't copy it"
assbot: Ask HN: Someone raised money by claiming my project as their own | Hacker News ... ( http://bit.ly/1zIHy3s )
asciilifeform: 'golang' is in the same league as apple's 'darwin' unix kernel. a whole zoological kingdom of pseudo-open, where, yes, theoretically you can read source, but it is not -for you- ☟︎
mircea_popescu: guy has a very strange idea as to what open means.
mthreat: but it probably is the same as all the other pics out there :)
mats: The reddit wallet, should it have existed, had absolutely enormous potential. The goal was to make it really easy for redditors to have and transact in digital assets, particularly bitcoin, dogecoin, and reddit notes, as well as any other assets using whatever protocol we ultimately used for reddit notes (probably colored coins or sidechains).
mircea_popescu: this isn't about one idiot guy going around at parties dressed up as satoshi. this is about how americanism failed and fails, at home and abroad.
mircea_popescu: a more laughably clear cut of usg-ism i've never seen, and it's utter defeat and public ridicule will do a lot not only to preserve bitcoin as "the noose that hangs the usg", but moreover as a focal point for all people who would rather live an actual life.
punkman: same author as cordialminuet, Jason Rohrer.
jurov: midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: i don't see the bash as place to put mollification statements, they need to be funnier. it's in the log already, just have the url handy at all times
pete_dushenski: and as home simpson once said, "this is the snack holder where i can put my beverage, or, if you will, cupcake
mircea_popescu: as george costanza once said, "if there's a pinhead in the crowd, i gotta be on top of it"
pete_dushenski: as it always does
mircea_popescu: it's almost like explorer found ancient tomb, ran off with ancient pee bowl. as a hat.
mircea_popescu: myeah. "frantic exertion as a decoy for impotence", as teh tlp guy likes to say
mircea_popescu: anyway, back to the problems of the stereotypical jew : same problem as shared by all middle eastern cultures, from bulgaria to iran : that the woman is overimportant in the culture. unlike the other eastern cultures however, the jew has very little means to address this problem. can't quite start stoning innocent girls in the road.
Vexual: so where drowned is the same as drowning, we might ise 1/30 s and the smallest apeture, an da neutral filer to suit
pete_dushenski: not quite as bad as this poor old man:
mircea_popescu: as far as the fabled 17% strictly monogamous cultures go... i very much doubt this ever happened. no culture in history was strictly monogamous for a strict definition of strictly.
pete_dushenski: but clearly the supermagickuserfriendly core is a turd so i might as well just go for the real deal
BingoBoingo: The whole site even validates as latest greatest while still working on actual browsers http://validator.w3.org/unicorn/check?ucn_uri=qntra.net&doctype=Inline&charset=%28detect%20automatically%29&ucn_task=conformance#
BingoBoingo: The greatest crime of American cheese is that it is radically overpriced as a nutritional measure of last resort.
decimation: "In 2002, the FDA issued a Warning Letter to Kraft that Velveeta was being sold with packaging that described it as a "Pasteurized Process Cheese Spread",[8] which the FDA claimed was misbranded because the product declared milk protein concentrate (MPC) in its ingredients listing. Velveeta is now sold in the US as a "Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product",[9] a term for which the FDA does not maintain a standard of identity, and which
mircea_popescu: i have seen this irl, incidentally. lots of traditional products come in no box. such as smoked trout in pine leaf, or a certain type of cheese in pine bark
mircea_popescu: "Hello, My name is Manikanteswar, Business Executive Media Buying for Capslock Digital Solutions Pvt Ltd (www.capslocknetwork.com), one of the biggest upcoming Ad Network in the Industry. I'm contacting you as we are looking for inventory like yours and we are ready to discuss the terms of a very profitable partnership. "
asciilifeform: as with many idiocies, this one may be approaching 'parody event horizon' where the reality is not readily distinguishable from the spoof world
BingoBoingo: I believe the technical term is "Circlejerk" as in formally with a bunch of fellows sitting around a bottle of lube they all Herp their Derp
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It used to be they couldn't fake as many
mircea_popescu: this ensures that trying to ram-dos the node would require as many different nodes as a fifth of the total number of blocks it can hold.
ben_vulpes: it's almost as though the satoshi codebase were a projection of software that knows how to talk to the one! true! bitcoin protocol.
mircea_popescu: o nm i read the 11th as a month
ben_vulpes: "git" shows sun march 11 2012 as last commit at ref tagged as v0.5.3
hanbot: for the record, i deeply enjoyed the sedition discussion. i vote for asciilifeform as most likely to sedite.
asciilifeform: who the hell writes a program as hungry as this, that is entirely unaware of its own resource consumption and lacks any feedback mechanism ?
asciilifeform: this would require replacement of allocator (as suggested in thread from 2 days ago)
asciilifeform: ‘Attempts to undermine the legitimate currency of this country are simply a unique form of domestic terrorism. While these forms of anti-government activities do not involve violence, they are every bit as insidious and represent a clear and present danger to the economic stability of this country. We are determined to meet these threats through infiltration, disruption, and dismantling of organizations which seek to challen
mircea_popescu: apparently quite alive and kicking, as a legal device.
asciilifeform: (as per the barrett brown sentence)
mircea_popescu: i am in favour of deposing any kim, just as long as a) it's done violently and b) not by the us.
asciilifeform notes for the record (tm) that he is not in favour of deposing glorious fuhrer kim jong un, as that would be criminal, seditious, murderous, immoral...
midnightmagic: ben_vulpes: As opposed to what? Pandering to the likes of you?
mircea_popescu: so... yes. for as long as the usg is willing to die peacefully, it will die peacefully. and if it wishes to try and make a break for it, all the same, it will die bloodily.
asciilifeform: as described in the mega-super book, 'the art of not being governed' (j.c.scott)
decimation: asciilifeform: "nationalism" strikes me as the wrong word here
midnightmagic: uh. just for the record, I strongly disagree with plotting the violent overthrow of the USG. I do not, have not, will not, and would not even in the face of violent coercion, consider the use of violent and/or lethal force as a vehicle of governmental change. I am not a seditionist.
assbot: Logged on 31-01-2015 01:09:34; asciilifeform: 'Every nationalist is haunted by the belief that the past can be altered. He spends part of his time in a fantasy world in which things happen as they should — in which, for example, the Spanish Armada was a success or the Russian Revolution was crushed in 1918 — and he will transfer fragments of this world to the history books whenever possible. Much of the propagandist writing of our time amounts to
mircea_popescu: you wouldn't have known there's such a thing as "french partisans" if there wasn't a 1945, either)
asciilifeform: al facts are suppressed, dates altered, quotations removed from their context and doctored so as to change their meaning. Events which it is felt ought not to have happened are left unmentioned and ultimately denied.' (orwell/nationalism)
asciilifeform: 'Every nationalist is haunted by the belief that the past can be altered.

Much of the propagandist writing of our time amounts to plain forgery. Materi ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes that'll scale about as well as "i don't need condoms, i only fuck clean girls"
mircea_popescu: i dunno if you like balzac much, but the only reason the fat lazy fuck exists as a writer is because he had to pay his eternal debts and the newspapers paid by the line.
asciilifeform: code, but today I am less interested in how foolish a unit it is from even a pure business point of view. My point today is that, if we wish to count lines of code, we should not regard them as "lines produced" but as "lines spent": the current conventional wisdom is so foolish as to book that count on the wrong side of the ledger.'
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> with something private like you know, coding work, this may prove unfeasible. << Also as unequally as prose may be weighted, code is especially unequal when it comes to volume versus value.
trinque: maybe that's applicable to stock as well; just issue shares as you personally see fit
mircea_popescu: qntra works very well, at least so far, because everyone's work is fundamentally public, there's no meaning in "writing words' outside of obviously others reading them. so trying to thin out the product as it were is painfully visible and liable to cost whoever does it more than it's worth.
BingoBoingo considering http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=2760 as future desktop machine. Seems to satisfy stuff in bag, carry much distance criteria.
ben_vulpes: so long as the fp doesn't change how does that matter?
trinque: I'm sure we're all being scanned for hax as well
ben_vulpes: there's another side to that as well, which is that the people with whom I work who do things at the 2x-3x range of the others actually enjoy teaching juniors and collaborating on these projects.
ben_vulpes: i'd not go so far as to say "order of magnitude"
ben_vulpes: as we get up to speed on a given codebase/ops story, shit moves vastly more quickly.
ben_vulpes: the fella who thinks for twice as long is generally not paid nearly what the one who can see it instantly.
ben_vulpes: everything we touch gets the shit automated out of it as a precondition of touching it.
ben_vulpes: as an aside, the whole vesting thing is odd.
mircea_popescu: trinque aka d-k as hanbot points out
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: undergrads who 'rock the boat' end up 'having problems', one way or another. see also the folks who posted diffs b/w one semester's textbook and next's << can't say as that was my experience. i rocked the boat constantly and still managed to eke some funding out of the university for harebrained rocket schemes
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: so long as overhead is O(n) or below, why not
mircea_popescu: however, it can be implemented as rolling window, which is how in point of fact "relay set" works
asciilifeform: (as in floatsam)
PeterL: so, I'm reading through the bitcoind code as published by the Foundation,
mircea_popescu: a sudanese, poor as the dirt hre sits in, still has a chance.
mircea_popescu: no but you know, the fumes of confused teenagers are going to somehow coallesce into moving as much as a hair of actual matter. ANY DAY NOW
mircea_popescu: "If Hess has made you wonder, hmm, maybe unrestricted anonymity is bad because it gives trolls too much power, then the system has successfully used her for its true purpose: brand it as bad, to you. She is unwittingly teaching the demo of this article, e.g. women in their 20s with no actual power looking to establish themselves, who are the very people who should embrace anonymity, not to want this: only rapists and t
kakobrekla: heres my first phone i got as a kid, also indestructible ; http://itm.siol.net/_m/media/Sagem/39/RC_815_large_363.jpg
asciilifeform: it's connected to the wild net (as opposed to existing node, which would be a more deterministic, if less realistic, test)
davout: "We manually inspected all services on the list to identify only those operations established with fraudulent intent. For instance, we exclude Hashfast, a mining company that recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, as well as losses from Mt. Gox, a bitcoin exchange that failed."
adlai: shouldn't it be as simple as, every rating has to contain a signature of the rating data, and then gribble and assbot can just spider eachother all day long?
assbot: Logged on 17-01-2015 16:26:57; kakobrekla: ;;later tell ben_vulpes as requested, json; http://w.b-a.link/user/ben_vulpes/json and http://w.b-a.link/trust/ben_vulpes/kakobrekla/json
