as a result of this I had occasion to use journalctl (I normally don't). More specifically, I had occasion to use 'journalctl -l', because of course if you're going to make a bug report you want to give full messages. Unfortunately, 'journalctl -l does not actually show you the full message."

mircea_popescu: strangely, he also seems unaware of teh obama charlie hebdo blunder. i dunno when the us was

mircea_popescu: "And without a functioning industrial economy crude oil would be reclassified

davout: "Similarly, SA Der-Yeghiayan also noticed that a discussion forum known
as “bitcointalk.org” – which SA Der-Yeghiayan believed, based on information from a “confidential informant,” was operated by Mr. Karpeles" <<< whose name starts with 'they' and ends with 'mos'
mircea_popescu: it's ludicrous
as a concept. showing that these idiots posing

As progressively dumber programmers build progressively more complex systems we will see more of this kind of attempt to paper over coding mistakes with lawyers, sanctions, policies, and laws. Hollywood and the RIAA are usually the most successful at getting the government to do their bidding. Thus I predict that one day Disney will have a Web site where you can buy access to any of their movies.

mircea_popescu: felipelalli: I want to hire a statistical company to make a distributed properly research. << there's perhaps better uses to that capital, whatever you'd be spending. seeing how the value of asnwering the "what does brazil think" on whatever topic isn't really that great. i guess it could be a useful demonstration of methodology etc, but that needs some sort of a plan, won't do much
as just a shot in the dark.
gribble: The20YearIRCloud was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 6 weeks, 0 days, 5 hours, 5 minutes, and 46 seconds ago: <The20YearIRCloud> Big thing has been to have em look over all the financial documents
as we're filing taxes for 2014 next month and I didn't want to submit till they had a good idea of it.
pete_dushenski: might

pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes so when's this baby of yours due ? we've been hearing about it since, what, you tried to use it
as an excuse to not go to the third conference ?
pete_dushenski: and ordered a bullet-proof model, naturally,
as soon
as he returned to moscow
kakobrekla: well its stable
as in online but if you need something changed for example i would do it if its reasonable
PeterL: it lets you use 1/0

jurov: well,
as i read the asswot discussion, let it be noted btc-dev mailing list will eventually need timely updates of wot database, too
nubbins`: note how the surface design is impossibly beautiful, indicating an inhumanly skilled craftsman, yet the shape of the BTC logo looks
as if it was molded in play-doh by a 12yo
BingoBoingo: Sure. I for example entered the Rozal rating on both WoTs because the information is immidiately useful to both #bitcoin-assets
as lulz material and #bitcoin-otc
as a leper's bell around the person's neck.
mircea_popescu: actually i guess it depends on teh wisdom / celerity of teh admins currently involved if the future will hold it
as best practice or just you know, that thing that might have been useful but never took off.
mircea_popescu: well obv that's optional.
as the wot decentralizes, one can be part of
as many / all of them.
mircea_popescu: lol@fuckyou.biz sez "this article is fucking stupid and i hope it was written
as a joke to piss off nerds"

ben_vulpes: davout: talk to the specwriter, but i believe the thing acts
as a btc spigot so
as to incentivize auditing of its behavior.
davout: ben_vulpes: you might just
as well spend that back to deedbot's wallet by broadcasting a second transaction at the same time
BingoBoingo: But part of the deedbot appeal is also hosting the deeds
as a stronger pastebin/dpaste alternative.
BingoBoingo: davout: But why should we remain barbarians defining time
as UTC when we can define it in terms of Block height?
davout: BingoBoingo: you can already timestamp some stuff and get deedbot to accept it later
as previously timestamped, that is, if the bundle structure is already defined
davout: if you remove 1. then mining gavincoin blocks can be removed from the rfc

mircea_popescu: ve to mine will diminish.
As long
as a currency’s mining is merged with the freeloading currency, it will be powerless to increase incentives by imposing mandatory transaction fees.
mircea_popescu: This will increase the price of the currency with the lowest transaction fee (because demand for the currency is higher), and decrease the price of the currencies with higher transactions fees (because demand for those currencies is dropping
as it is being filled by demand for the competing currency). Because the currencies with the higher transaction fees were the ones generating the incentive to mine, overall incenti
mircea_popescu: y with the lowest transaction fees
as long
as it has the same security of the competitors.
mircea_popescu: Except now competing currencies can market themselves
as “
as secure
as Bitcoin but with lower transaction fees.” In other words there is a race to the bottom among competing currencies to offer the lowest transaction fees, because lowering the transaction fee doesn’t hurt the security of the network in comparison to the other merged mining networks. Users, following their own self interest, will adopt the currenc
mircea_popescu: At any given time there is a certain amount of demand for a Bitcoin like currency to make transactions. That need doesn’t increase with more competition. That means that the transactional demand for Bitcoin is really the same
as the transactional demand for all substantially similar forms of payment.
As more currencies are competing to fill the same demand they actually reduce the demand for the other currencies

mircea_popescu: what happens is that a hash of a block of the lower chain is inserted in bitcoin blocks, and then the lower chain accepts this
as "just
as good" proof.
davout: well, maybe if we sell it to reddit
as an opportunity to increase adoption ...
mircea_popescu: in any case imported ratings in either wot would be marked
as such
kakobrekla: >especially since storing user data

mircea_popescu: "they will resurrect and give new currency to such things
as those, or to any other things that count against me, but they will not mention any act of mine that is in my favor. I have spent more money on art than any other monarch of my time, and they know it. Do they speak of it, do they tell about it? No, they do not. They prefer to work up what they call "ghastly statistics" into offensive kindergarten object lesson
mircea_popescu: They tell it all: how I am wiping a nation of friendless creatures out of existence by every form of murder, for my private pocket's sake. But they never say, although they know it, that I have labored in the cause of religion at the same time and all the time, and have sent missionaries there (of a "convenient stripe,"
as they phrase it), to teach them the error of their ways and bring them to Him who is all mercy and

decimation: so, some guy telling a confused chick to leave the locker room is the same
as murdering?
mircea_popescu: it's gotten to the point where inflation's being dressed up
as necessary. well... it is. should interest rates move to a very liberal 5% the us is unable to finance even its interest alone.
mircea_popescu: the only pity here is that linus is about

mircea_popescu: something simple like playbot, i want to play chess with peterl. to which it responds "peterl are you playing with mircea_popescu ?" and then it looks for the moves, updates an inner state and keeps spitting out pngs of the board
as links.
PeterL: xanthyos:i'd like to play monopoly with #b-a members if we could figure out a place to do the dice << scoopbot started

Adlai: in go's defense... they have sane concurrency primitives,

decimation: "In one of the jets, a young pilot was flying his first training mission since becoming qualified to use a special helmet that projects key flight data - such
as air speed, altitude, target range - onto his visor. The pilot, investigators learned later, hadn't gone through a recommended computer-based course before being cleared to fly with the visor-mounted display."

pete_dushenski: it's much harder to carve your own niche in this regard
as well
mircea_popescu: fluffypony there's a lot of challenges to the quaint notions of what the state has the authority to do to be brought through deploying the much more widely avaialble powers of math. situation somewhat similar to, while currently a government may claim for itself the right to legislate
as to the albedo of undiscovered stars, once they're discovered that's gone.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: microsoft_moves_major_projects_to_github/ << heh. github
