punkman: "Got an idea that could improve cyber security? Submit your idea here for a chance to win £10,000 https://www.cyber10k.trust/submit/" << I got one but I don't think it's gonna win. BURN IT ALL DOWN
mod6: thx asciilifeform, i knew that didn't look right.
brg444: wouldn't help with the kick in the balls he's gonna continue to get until he dares no more to show his face
brg444: of course he'd claim he fucking created SPV, wouldn't expect anything else of him
brg444: don't see the need for these "priority"
brg444: Don't think this can be generalized
brg444: and typically don't have access to NFL level strength training
cazalla: i guess it doesn't matter anyway as american kids are now trans gender fags so you would have difficulty filling a football team full of boys who actually want to pummel the other team
cazalla: obviously doesn't have to be football, but if that's the american past time, then let them play football
asciilifeform: link? (they have log, don't they..?)
mats: skywing (ken johnson, guy that patented 'aslr') reversed the battle.net login protocol, and i used his documentation to write a chat client so i didn't have to keep starcraft open to maintain ops in a channel ☟︎
BingoBoingo: * ascii_field would rather read his spam box than anything pertaining to football, and doesn't foresee this ever changing << Oh just highlighting the other aspect, something not meaningful which people are directed to rage about instead of their cattle pen
trinque: seems stupid, yet I don't have the time currently to discover why
trinque: punkman: grammar wasn't the problem, as I did not change it to fix his deed
punkman: trinque: well you can't get nested structures by parsing the same string twice, it's gotta go in the grammar?
ascii_field would rather read his spam box than anything pertaining to football, and doesn't foresee this ever changing
BingoBoingo: I don't think I have
BingoBoingo: At least boxing was more honest about the crippling yourself for others amusement there. If you work hard enough and get good enough your head doesn't get hit as much. American football hitting your head against things is kinda mandatory.
pete_dushenski: lol wouldn't that be an idea
pete_dushenski: then again, there aren't many avenues for teaching mental toughness and discipline outside of sports in north america
pete_dushenski: 'can do X excellently but can't tie shoelaces w/o tearing acl'
ascii_field: mircea_popescu has it. and for sporty types, last i checked, there ~were~ sports that don't guarantee braindamage
mircea_popescu: i dun think i'd encourage any kid to play "professional" school sports. they don't get paid (no, 'scholarship' is not pay like coupons are not refunds) ; b) it's really fucking unhealthy. i mean being in shape is one thing. being "an athlete" is about as unhealthy as being a diabethic.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: The sport really isn't for rich kids from Maplewood anyways.
pete_dushenski: why don't kids want to play this popular usian sport ? injuries.
mircea_popescu: i wasn't aware there's a lithium biological carry.
mircea_popescu: but this isn't a market.
assbot: Logged on 03-09-2015 02:08:18; mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> the other interesting thing is that the market is segmented in such a way that anyone who doesn't want mcfood ends up paying for ~all~ the alt-crackpotteries, not merely the logical ones << this is a very valid point, and the one spot where alf's ideas re meta-lizzards sound most persuasive. i do not believe the market is gerrymandered as it is by accident.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu's advice is good except in the cases of folks who don't expect to live to retire
mircea_popescu: you don't have the same options once you're in a retirement home.
mircea_popescu: don't use up old age activities while you're young.
mircea_popescu: the only true drawback is that unlike real estate, this is a constant maintenance racket. everything you have at any point won't be useful in 5 years, or even 3. things move too fast. so its not one of those "do this right once it's done forever" stories like alf likes. it's more of a "hold this lamp up".
pete_dushenski: this may well be the right kind of b-a 'contribution' for me, given that i can't code worth a damn.
mircea_popescu: haha time doesn't scale. but anyway, for it to exist in three years you'll be spending a lot of time on it throughout
pete_dushenski: if 36 months is mp='impressed', then 48='so-so' and longer than that is 'pete wasn't the right man for the job'
mircea_popescu: besides, i wouldn't expect this to get anywhere within 12 months. if it does within 36 i'll be impressed.
mircea_popescu: that stuff. and besides, YOU travel now and again don't you ?
pete_dushenski: don't wait until you're falling from plane to build parachute ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field which it isn't.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: can't resist the question, what is the point of having the first of the lists ?
mircea_popescu: building these is not particularly difficult,. but it takes time. more importantly, it takes determination. and the sort of attitude of the guy that hey, the managers don't wanna see, but since the phone is here...
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: pr agency, l0l! isn't that what moiety starved doing ?
thestringpuller: "We haven't seen you log in awhile, can we help you with KYC? We miss you!"
ascii_field: don't use the engl. translations of these, either.
thestringpuller: "Don't be afraid to search through Russian papers; once you need to (you'll know when), they're sufficiently mathematically dense that you can follow along. The words are mainly just transitions anyway."
mats: the wmi talk covered some stuff i haven't seen before
ascii_field: i don't really distinguish the quadripedal and bipedal rat
mircea_popescu: this is broadly missing the point, because the sides you'd know about pre aren't a good representation of the sides that actually exist post.
mircea_popescu: this is exactly like saying cca 1915 that "you don't expect to ever live to see computers and if you do you'll prolly be on the side of polishing the casings".
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-09-2015#1288069 << i like this as much as anybody, but a) i don't expect to ever live to see it come back and b) if i did live to see it, would probably end up on the suitcase-carrying side of the equation, so i don't especially cry from not living to see it. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: in any case, i have had opportunity to try this in the field : when i maneuvered teh demonstrators around the "security cordon", they didn't do anything. they fell back. cuz wtf were they gonna do.
mike_c: well, cw1 didn't have bombs
assbot: Logged on 04-02-2014 00:55:48; asciilifeform: a 'kinder, gentler' tontine, where you don't have to plug your rivals, just help them forget to check their mail
thestringpuller: i totally don't know the national anthem
mircea_popescu: and hasn't been for years.
ascii_field: i suppose this is a technical, mircea_popescuing sense of 'nobody', where million half-imbecile schoolchildren singing the anthem don't count as 'body
mircea_popescu: you can't propose x theory is exemplified by y trend when the core of y is different from the elements of x.
assbot: Logged on 30-09-2015 08:30:36; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-09-2015#1287904 << except maryland wasn't one of them.
lobbes used to work with a guy that would come into office everyday talking about his btcjam 'investors club'; couldn't talk sense into the guy
punkman: I don't see why it's better than release being a manifest with a patch sequence
mod6: oh and also, your vpatches won't be added until after the release... so the graph will look a bit different with your 3 vpatches.
funkenstein_: doesn't always work out that way does it
funkenstein_: people don't have to give a shit, nor crack a book. but then bringing it up as if they did give a shit doesn't seem productive does it?
funkenstein_: An arrangement that doesn't sound too bad to me, having a house given to you as well as babysitters and cooks
jurov: and can't understand why would you wait 2 weeks
davout: thought i had talked about it in-chan, guess i didn't
mircea_popescu: i can't even follow how or why this seemed like a good idea.
mircea_popescu: i don't want anything specific. but i will be keeping track of a large ammount of tiny indicators, because anything else results in exam-taking-training. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: the moral of that experience isn't to complain at me that you weren't around for a while. the moral of that experience is to be around. it is after all your flagship product as far as i can tell. treat it like it were.
mircea_popescu: for instance : last month, the stuff went unrenewed for about two weeks. two weeks during which you didn't complain about the matter. this, not because I didn't notice. i had noticed. i was actually getting ready to announce that the x.eur thing is discontinued.
mircea_popescu: there must be a minimum of attention available. it is perhaps true that if you didn't even have to show up once a mnonth for it you'd have more attention available to promote the thing. it is an unpersuasive theory.
mircea_popescu: i can't in good conscience propose that the contract may be renewed when i've not even heard from you.
davout: the point is i really shouldn't have to ask
davout: mircea_popescu: tbf i'd probably advertise x.eur a bit more if i didn't have to wait days for x.eur holder statements
assbot: Logged on 30-09-2015 02:23:13; mike_c: bitbettors can't do math. if trump is 50/50, why is jeb 5:1 to win? https://bitbet.us/bet/1209/jeb-bush-will-be-republicans-2016-presidential-nominee/
mircea_popescu: course the 20 yo geniuses involved have nfi of anything so they don't know this either, but whatever.
assbot: Logged on 13-10-2013 20:20:24; mircea_popescu: without going into all the ways truecrypt is broken and etc, which i don't feel i have the energy for
assbot: Logged on 14-05-2013 02:03:43; mircea_popescu: "I haven't nor will I ask for donations. This truly sucks for me, but I only want to find out how this happened. I wish I could see the code/method used for educational purposes. Fuck people who steal. I strive for bitcoins and litecoins to gain popularity among the masses and become an accepted currency in societies eyes."

BingoBoingo: <HeySteve> about deedbot, I don't quite get the hashing as privkey thing, what is the purpose? << To get spent from, it is the ultimate verification
HeySteve: about deedbot, I don't quite get the hashing as privkey thing, what is the purpose?
BingoBoingo: I don't see any Reddit accounts in deedbot
BingoBoingo: Then again hose showers aren't really a 'Murican thing
BingoBoingo: I wasn't the account with the answer. I started a fire, but not that fire.
BingoBoingo: I mean even bidets don't have the pressure to get everything down there if one is shitting 'Murican sugah shits
BingoBoingo: Since it wouldn't be wort diluting qntra shares over a derpy hatchback I decided to try writing reddit soup.
mircea_popescu: dude who're you fooling. this was that pinoy mail order bride wasn't it.
mircea_popescu: when sigounrey weaver fucked that alien she didn't get 14 weeks of medicine for it.
mircea_popescu: for something that can't even happen ?
BingoBoingo: HeySteve: Wrong isotope. That's plutonium 239. Absolute shit for an RTG, doesn't get hot enough.
mircea_popescu: it's altogether unclear to me how long we'd have taken to figure out the dpaste deedbot- mechanism if there wasn't this dpaste thing for bashes
mircea_popescu: you can't eat foods that have a color now ?
BingoBoingo: Isn't vegemite just failed beer?
mircea_popescu: "usian" isn't a thing to be.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-09-2015#1287873 << they can't, just, idiots put up with it. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: It isn't called "horny goat weed" for nothing
mircea_popescu: her fucking ankles aren't even touching. thighs an' that's it.
mircea_popescu: can do that, is a woman. can't do that, has shit to learn yet.
mircea_popescu: today fucking airlines can't as much as not forever lose your bags, let alone SEND PEOPLE TO PICK THEM UP FROM YOUR FUCKING CAB!!!!
mircea_popescu: hint : dude travels ON THE TRAIN with a pile of luggage. he tells the porter to take it all and put it in a cab and send it at so and so hotel. because he's a dude in the suit traveling solo and can't be bothered to lift anything heavier than his hat
