mircea_popescu: as more an' more cases of idiot women "in tech" blowing things up float to the surface like as many turds, the actual women in actual tech have increasingly more problems they don't actually need.
mircea_popescu: so i find that veronique chick as the first source of the ghost vulnerability, im all about to go into a rand as to how see, THIS is the sort of actual women in actual tech
assbot: Regin Malware Unmasked as NSA Tool after SPIEGEL Publishes Source Code - SPIEGEL ONLINE ... ( http://bit.ly/18qJku0 )
jurov: http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/regin-malware-unmasked-as-nsa-tool-after-spiegel-publishes-source-code-a-1015255.html#ref=rss 10 years in circulation already, they say
trinque: asciilifeform: I'm considering jumping ship to a BSD soon as I feel like it's an informed decision
mircea_popescu: anyway, if you want to hang someone for the horrible state of publishing and/or us business culture these days, she's as good as anyone.
punkman: "blocked from the network by their peers for as a little as a day for minor infractions such as slowing down SNet with file-sharing outside prescribed hours, with lifetime bans for violations like distributing pornography."
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> 'the actual rich' as a monolithic whole is, i dare say, a fictional trope as well << what, and i suppose the island of beautiful women doens't exist, either ?!
assbot: Logged on 16-01-2015 04:45:19; mircea_popescu: decimation it's as fucking unbriliant as a lump of coal. at the end of the week, instead of having a decent steak and a game of bridge with intellgient people,
decimation: heh yeah might as well buy personal town for his toys
asciilifeform: 'the actual rich' as a monolithic whole is, i dare say, a fictional trope as well
assbot: As inequality soars, the nervous super rich are already planning their escapes | Public Leaders Network | The Guardian ... ( http://bit.ly/1yXp5OL )
asciilifeform: just not as neatly.
asciilifeform: used him as example because folks here all (?) read him and mr t expounds at great length re: 'what it means to really live'
mircea_popescu: mats: its hilarious that anyone wanted to pay so much as 1mn for blockchain.info << you are thinking money as in, someone earned / saved these. that's not what's happening there : they're spending money that was simply created by yellen / conjured up by accounting fraud / etc.
mircea_popescu: because back then the average american understood himself as a peniless tramp, that's fortunate to even be allowed in europe at all.
asciilifeform: i've never heard of anyone being thrown out for having one as of yet.
asciilifeform: library subscription, even (they are as we speak sc4mz0r1ing nickel&dime by pretending a certain volume was not returned. mega-lol)
BingoBoingo: The Rum fountain. No author appears to be a forensic pyschiatrist as he self describes.
TheNewDeal: BingoBoingo this definitely is one of the article I was reading > I remember seeing the receptors lined up as a fountain
asciilifeform: as in the army joke
asciilifeform: they aren't trying to live as cultured man.
asciilifeform: decimation: he said what i believe was the truth in that post - ran out of money, given as his winnings from 'dotcom' idiocy were not enough to live an entire life as a cultured man, but only about a decade
asciilifeform: inevitably, this is an unappetizing product if you aren't the target. like a chinese motorcycle, belching black devil smoke as it goes at 20k/hr
mats: i was under the impression most here believed the fracture of the Internet as it is now is inevitable
trinque: it's not as though they confine those things to a single state
asciilifeform: but it's being sold to civilians, and, more particularly, men, and that's rather like pitching captive bolt guns as a product to cattle
asciilifeform: (it costs employer little or nothing, as the vendors the chumps are herded into using - usually pay.)
asciilifeform: sometimes this is even included as... an employment perk. at some megacorps.
asciilifeform: but as delta from system clock, in userland.
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> can't say as i get it. either one owns btc or one doesn't. << one either owns real estate or doesn't. where does that leave the teenagers, inhabiting comfortable middle class homes they can't afford, and not even having to suck cock for it, like they will a decade down the road ?
asciilifeform: mod6: add zeros as needed.
ben_vulpes: can't say as i get it. either one owns btc or one doesn't.
ben_vulpes: as experiment, go try getting a randomly selected semi technically savvy person to take a bitcoin.
asciilifeform: as experiment, go try getting a randomly selected street idiot to take a bitcoin.
gribble: mrstickball was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 18 weeks, 4 days, 10 hours, 47 minutes, and 8 seconds ago: <Mrstickball> they are as well, AFAIK
asciilifeform: as instructors, being
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: plain as daylight.
asciilifeform: (ideally, what runs on toy node will be quite the same thing as used on normal machines, but built for the embedded cpu)
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> it's the only way to do time. << i've been saying there's no such thing as time for a while now, only the length of the longest chain...
asciilifeform: but existing installations still register it as 'obsolete'
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes et al: this has more than merely ceremonial effect, as, iirc, there are phoundation nodes that won't talk to < 0.8
trinque: in my experience the rpi skews clock as some function of cpu load
asciilifeform: bitcoind will get oomkilled often enough as it is.
mircea_popescu: mod6 yeh just as soon as bitcoind-unbraindamaged is ready... in it goes!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, ben_vulpes, et al: i have a working 'u-boot' for toy node (builds as CROSSDEV armv5 on x86 gentoo), working linux kernel built in same manner, boots from nand flash.
mircea_popescu: <gurlwest> its possible but there is such a thing as responsibility, and i feel its mine to point out that Zyklon B is highly offensive and brings this place into disrepute
mircea_popescu: if you as much as sneeze it all comes crumbling down, and yet he's stupidly put all that effort into it... like a blind seal or something.
mircea_popescu: "Your statement that the new fork won't succeed is nothing but speculation, your guess is only worth as much as anyone else's. No one can claim with any certainty that they know what's going to happen." << late to that party.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron funny hpw that doomad dude neglects to consider the point that "we can all use it" AS IT IS. unless we ALL agree to use it a different way, it is NOT HAPPENING.
mircea_popescu: "social and political revolution" = more of the same shit ; "worshipping at the altar of money" = actual social and political revolution. in the proper sense, as in, the opposite of evolution.
mircea_popescu: "There are those whose only concern is worshiping at the altar of money and turning a profit, whereas others see Bitcoin as a tool for social and political revolution."
gribble: Nick 'TheNewDeal', with hostmask 'TheNewDeal!~TheNewDea@unaffiliated/thenewdeal', is identified as user 'TheNewDeal', with GPG key id DFBEC17DF96DFB77, key fingerprint 468950118F292A0AA73BCCC3DFBEC17DF96DFB77, and bitcoin address None
mircea_popescu: Adlai: in case it fell between the cracks - i'm always interested in 'alpha testers', especially if they see it as a service rather than a freebie that a sucker on irc will walk them through for his own warm fuzzies << heh the problem of "contests" and "giveaways" etc.
thestringpuller: hanbot: "Lets be nice as possible to the girl and maybe she'll touch me even though I'm an awkward neck beard who needs more rejection"
hanbot: as though being turned down to your face is something to be avoided at all absurdities
hanbot: mats> dunno that it has anything to do with shyness. more like... people have become more alone in spite of glowing rectangles supposedly networking us together << it has everything to do with shyness tho, so long as what tinder's doing is removing the basic requirement of walking up to someone and asking if they'd like to drink/dance/fuck/whatever
assbot: Facebook: Android users in developing countries can now use "Facebook Lite" as a simplified version of the social media networking app. ... ( http://bit.ly/1yJsfVV )
Adlai: 'want' is a strong word. i'm suggesting it as a possibility, to an intrepid [General] Manager
BingoBoingo: Yes, shouldn't indeed means shouldn't. https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum-server is the address history beast I was thinking of. Note that can become rapidly unfeasible on Gavincoin as does not take kindly to any pruning.
BingoBoingo: Adlai: Well, SPV as the powerrangers say it now tends to mean the Bloom filter derp. If enough space is budgeted for the nodes though "address history" type arrangement like electrum server could work if electrum server did not rival bitcoind itself as a hog.
Apocalyptic: I don't know there is such a thing as "ethical spying", the whole formula must be a joke
assbot: Logged on 13-11-2014 16:38:23; asciilifeform: Adlai: darcs << as a military man, perhaps you are familiar with systems that could be automated easily, but aren't? e.g., ru nuke sub controls
Adlai: in case it fell between the cracks - i'm always interested in 'alpha testers', especially if they see it as a service rather than a freebie that a sucker on irc will walk them through for his own warm fuzzies
Adlai: in a sense, it's currently offered as a service for some fee - my time in dealing with your (not personally anybody in this channel) bullshit
jurov: why not just offer scalpl as service for some fee?
davout: i see it as a problem in the sense that they're not really fungible
davout: if you take a bond out of circulation you refund it as (amount in exchange acct)/100
Adlai: by structure as a bond, you mean - anybody deposits the amount they want, and has p/l tracked (and dividends paid) for that amount?
davout: unless i'm mistaken equity would be irrelevant if you structure that as a bond, amirite
Adlai: i'd rather the accounts belong to the financier(s). they lend reputation - people trust them not to run off more than they'd trust me, and they lend their credibility to account statements. my role would be setting up scalpl, possibly maintenance, analysis, development - but on a case by case basis, as seen fit by the financier(s) and/or shareholders
punkman: as in kraken accounts?
Adlai: there are a bunch of variables in this arrangement, such as - who has what control of which accounts
Adlai: re IV - art is neither dead nor dying, but tastes change, and the financial incentives about them... maybe if it becomes less profitable overall, there'll be less crap commercialized art such as pop music or koons balloons
Adlai: i wasn't bringing this up as "look at coinbase, they're doing something!", but as "maybe i can help your thing do its stuff better" (setting aside the bit about deedbot doubling as a faucet, which works fine in the current method)
Adlai: if it wasn't clear, by http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-01-2015#992700 means "act as though the first wot member who suggests an idea invented it" ☝︎
assbot: gloomdoom comments on Poverty Inc. argues that Wall Street and the banking industry’s portrayal of "business as usual" is undermining our democracy, shattering the lives of working class families and the poor, while endangering the very environmental balance of the planet. ... ( http://bit.ly/1JMMwfa )
mircea_popescu: doubles as a faucet, basically.
Adlai says, deedbot can spend half as much coin and create zero as much pollution; if there's interest, he can review and sign the code doing it
punkman: as per asciilifeform's suggestion ^
hanbot: anyway, ludicrous as the entire thing is, the usnews version irked me with subrug sweeping. there are ways to handle agents, and there are ways to set them on the vendetta path.
asciilifeform: hence idiom is used to describe criminal cases such as, well, this one.
hanbot: i somehow doubt it's as much a piece of hay in the stack as all that. you piss someone off enough, they'll find what with to beat you.
decimation: mentally prepared for tens of thousands of pushy New Yorkers (I’m also one) or overly emotional Miami Cubans who think they are returning royalty. Waves of carpetbaggers will pour in trying to buy everything that isn’t nailed down with their gringo dollars. Every Cuban exile sees himself as the next El Presidente."
decimation: "The story also reported that 2014 was the hottest year on record, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and NASA, but did not include the caveat that other recent years had average temperatures that were almost as high — and they all fall within a margin of error that lessens the certainty that any one of the years was the hottest."
decimation: "As a result, GISS’s director Gavin Schmidt has now admitted Nasa thinks the likelihood that 2014 was the warmest year since 1880 is just 38 per cent. However, when asked by this newspaper whether he regretted that the news release did not mention this, he did not respond." < lol daily mail
mats: its hilarious that anyone wanted to pay so much as 1mn for blockchain.info
asciilifeform: punkman: the x86-in-js emulator is at least 2 years old, and is about as interesting as a full-sized replica of the eiffel tower made from toothpicks.
pete_dushenski: we'll remember their contribution just as fondly
ben_vulpes: mlol i was talking to BingoBoingo, but same goes for you as well
pete_dushenski: ideally, from their perspective, cars would crap out as soon as the warranty expired
pete_dushenski: as they evidently have
thestringpuller: which I admit is tempting, but in the same sense as candy is tempting ~_~
thestringpuller: mats: I KNO RITE. Not as adorable as my Xanga blog was.
thestringpuller: I was thinking of that story I put in the comments of your post. ANd was like "Why not get a volvo? It's gonna outlast most bitcoin businesses while being 30 years old as is."
pete_dushenski: might as well complain to the troika that they're pwning the periphery
mircea_popescu: answers as in... what ? "yes, fuck you." ?
mircea_popescu: maybe woodcollector should carve a block of boron carbide next, as a super-show of his super-talents.
mircea_popescu: His mastery of the skill comes not from his ability to "cut around the lines" but in that he can from start to finish carve on some of the most difficult woods in the world to work with. Wood that 80% of your so called "master carvers" as they claim on youtube and the woodworking forums would not touch in a hundred years because it takes some serious talent to carve them.
jurov: lxr is same incredibly warty crufty stuff as mailman.. but seems i got it working somehow
