asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: current king probably weighed his chances of ending up as an example, like hussein, milosevich, others who dared to stand up to anglo.
asciilifeform: everyone who laughs at nk should sit down for five minutes and imagine what they'd do as king there
asciilifeform: spiegel << discussion of 'tor' as not yet having spread its legs - suggests psychop; but on the other hand, the material (claims) circa 2010-2012.
Vexual: Just like Orwell describing the lingering smell of turpentine as he writes of the atmosphere of the poor quarters.
asciilifeform: mention of pgp as a 'tough cookie' and also as internally used in at least one nsa product (disinfo psychop or genuine tears, take your pick.)
Vexual: so twice as many ways in?
decimation: one can have arbitrary many kilobits in a kilohertz as constrained by SNR given in Shannon's law
decimation: at any rate, it's been discussed as a possible means to distribute the bitcoin blockchain and/or transactions
decimation: Overand: as for 'replacing the internet', I suppose it depends on what those 7 billion people have to say
Overand: Though likely not nearly as experienced as you
Overand is US General licensed as well.
xanthyos: ;;rate Overand 2 known since hebrew school temple beth shalom as far back as 9600 baud modems were in vogue
gribble: Nick 'Overand', with hostmask 'Overand!~overand@unaffiliated/overand', is identified as user 'Overand', with GPG key id 80053296F8159175, key fingerprint ADB3CD2C1AA14FA29B53677980053296F8159175, and bitcoin address None
assbot: Logged on 02-11-2014 21:48:39; asciilifeform: claim is not a fact << when talking about a scam, the claim is the fact (that is, the fact of the scam being set up as such or other)
adlai: as in, every.single.eatery has an "eggplant" doing the dishes
decimation: his point about hygiene items is a good one. Having a large store of ethanol seems like a good idea - can be used as a disinfectant, can be drank, can be used to de-grease engines :)
decimation: adlai: there's some degree of that, but money also acts as an asset. In moldbug's terms, it's the 'bubble that never pops'
adlai: 99% of this channel doesn't see my roommate's atrocious dishwashing habits, or lack thereof, as a problem - because they're not aware of them.
decimation: on the other hand, 99.999% of the world doesn't see it as a problem at all, and a good portion of them also see it as a government's duty
adlai: be as paranoid as you like about KYC/AML, but at least offer dummy API access for developers
adlai: wtf. are they lurking here? all I did was register an account, and I already get flagged as a "Potentially Dangerous Request"
cazalla: that shit gets you arrested and your mug shot in the media here, parade around as hitler himself, god forbid you beat your wife
ben_vulpes: if you don't say anything now she's going to take it as tacit agreement.
mircea_popescu: what's wrong with "create 6 new addresses, split change on any tx among these 6, usingthe same number of nonzero digits as the payment"
mircea_popescu: once you do that, might as well do some accounting.
mircea_popescu: people had been building "wallet tools" as a bundle in parallel which eventually got merged into bitcoind sometime around early 2012
mircea_popescu: on the topic of "can irrational numbers that are powers of rational numbers be written out as polynomes with rational parameters"
decimation: asciilifeform: thinking about my scenario earlier (two halves of the world), the real issue is that transactions need to be communicated as well as the blockchain
Apocalyptic: asciilifeform, do you define inventor as someone who has invented something before ?
ben_vulpes: ah, forgive me. i mean "blocks" as in relatively easily handled block data. for example, the json that's returned from getblock.
asciilifeform: just the same as mr. spam, or naggum's stalkers, in that they would regularly insist that 'they're done with' him and the 'pit' he dwelled in - but seemed to structure their entire waking lives around frequenting his haunts and crapping out abuse
asciilifeform: 'it is _never_ politeness and courtesy these lunatics want. (If it were, they would simply prove the superiority of being polite and courteous.) They want _other_ people to be polite and courteous because _they_ do not want to feel humiliated or threatened, but who can tell what makes a deranged lunatic feel humiliated or threatened by just and proper criticism, especially by proxy as the worst of these outcasts do? These pe
asciilifeform: 'For us as the Reserve Bank... ...we'll have to figure out how we make money because the way we generate most of our revenue is through forms of seigniorage, people are willing to hold currency free of interest and that's how we make money...' ☟︎
BingoBoingo: So the new North Korea movie. Not bad. Indicts the United States about as seriously as it indicts North Korea.
danielpbarron: !down Luke-Jr might as well
Luke-Jr: kakobrekla: sure, but as long as some spam is easy to pick out, might as well
decimation: kakobrekla: the guy writes in a normative way as if he was in charge of something
kakobrekla: >I think OP_RETURN has shown itself to be seriously problematic; and we continue to have problems with people beleving that storing non-bitcoin related data in the chain (as opposed, e.g. to simple commitments or things like ECDH nonces) is an approved, correct, non-antisocial use of the system.
[]bot: Bet placed: 6 BTC for No on "Bitcoin to surpass Berkshire as an investment" http://bitbet.us/bet/786/ Odds: 28(Y):72(N) by coin, 46(Y):54(N) by weight. Total bet: 4045.40374824 BTC. Current weight: 15,224.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: once the why is answered, the "make their own" is answered too, fiveseconds later << typically this question gets 'answered' when too late. as in the case of the russian trans-siberian pipeline.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell sexy_saffron https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8795280 << is this ninjashogun posing as a woman again ?
gribble: Nick 'cazalla', with hostmask 'cazalla!cazalla@unaffiliated/cazalla', is identified as user 'cazalla', with GPG key id 21B9818A468F4AD0, key fingerprint FD9FB3F73B5AE8499A02F0C521B9818A468F4AD0, and bitcoin address 1cKiW19Jc2aQ2sdKGkkEkGnbVZT8kKLAK
jurov: "I am sorry that I had such a bad experience with your community but I am being extremely negatively affected as a result." lolwut
BingoBoingo: Yeah, almost sucks as much as the Schilbach wallet which I can not yet evaluate
decimation: but as asciilifeform has pointed out, the bezzlars (usg) control the entire silicon process stack
decimation: asciilifeform: this (arm's) was almost exactly the same business model as qualcomm's
asciilifeform: what does it mean if asia has all of the factories, but is utterly dependant on winblows and a stack of monopoly turdware as tall as empire state building ?
decimation: as I recall, the guy claimed that most of the high-end fabs use cadence tools
decimation: as kind of a pseudo analog computer?
asciilifeform: and even as a particle detector.
asciilifeform: dignork: forget code. the thing, as stated on own site, doesn't even threaten to make elementary sense.
kakobrekla: but now im stuck with it as the thing wont amortize over 750k years
jurov: it means...same as before. you notice glitches, i'll exchange gpg blobs with mircea and eventually fix it
decimation: as in, faceless meta-bureaucrats?
asciilifeform: all that resulted was a leak, of facts which anglo media will never print - so it's almost as good, from their point of view, as 'never happened' ☟︎
asciilifeform: decimation: usg 'leaders' think of themselves as being above such trivialities as secure communications << of what concern is what a muppet says to another muppet ?
BingoBoingo: joecool: I don't have problems with big UX changes. I care more about what is happening and why. Unsolder the microphone and camera in old blackberry, works as a pager like god intended. Unsolder camera and microphone in shitty LG android phone doesn't work as pager or play angry birds!
decimation: one gets the picture that usg 'leaders' think of themselves as being above such trivialities as secure communications
asciilifeform: we're speaking of 'secure computing' as if it were an actual technology, like +ev fusion or whatnot
asciilifeform: decimation: this is about as thinkable to present-day academics - and turdware industrialist peddlers alike - as galois theory was to the romans
cazalla: well, as punkman said, circle.. refer your customers there to get btc instead of paypal
cazalla: i think maybe you will see more of bitcoin in that as time goes on
austeritysucks: since keys are used as the fixed currency to trade
mike_c: it was more meant as a rebuttal to his comment. people who have nothing to contribute type in here often :) he was a glaring example.
kakobrekla: seems like im listed in the judge list as well. just ftr i did not receive any compensation for my non-work (as i was not involved in a case).
mircea_popescu: that is about as unnatural as it gets.
thestringpuller: so I work for the marketing department here as a developer.
thestringpuller: They are interesting! I think my 3D artist has some renders as an XMas present for you. Hopefully chetty can help us get it in the engine sometime Q1.
mircea_popescu: he never availed himself of it, and that is exactly enough for constructive tacit agreement, just as good as if he swore to the whole thing.
mircea_popescu: for that matter, the contract has a specific clause, 3(a)That no third party has offered verifiable proof as to the inaccuracy or incompleteness of the representations and warranties made herein and that no market makers, preferred traders and other significant investors of MPEx have publicly proffered doubt as to the accuracy or completeness of the representations and warranties made herein ;
mircea_popescu: re the entire grubles/bitvps thing : the listing was discussed for a while, in a public channel. grubles was there, and not only represented himself in agreement, but represented rg as the owner of the thing. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: ;;rate grubles -1 Disingenuous at best. One of the large group of everyday nitwits that wandered into Bitcoin early on enough so as to end up with a much larger momentary fortune than their limited brainpower could support. After squandering it through the usual means, they prefer to pretend their funciar stupidity is someone else's fault.
mike_c: have you ever thought about adding the ability to short mpex stocks to coinbr? seems like it would be a great service for you as a brokerage.
austeritysucks: been using bitcoin as virtual items merchant and accumulated some just poking around
Anduck: that said contract needed his signature too, as stated in the contract
Anduck: punkman: because he didn't sign a contract and the contract was still accepted as valid?
kakobrekla: its plain english as far as i can tell
Anduck: but as long as they can't, it's not fine
Anduck: even if someone had signed it and made it valid, it's not public, making it not valid for all of us. as shown by mpex
Anduck: but itä's fine, it's as i expected
Anduck: this is what this is as i see it.
Anduck: can coinbase now declare all the people-deposit bitcoins as theirs because they own the private keys?
Anduck: S.BVPS was listed on MPEx on April the 12th, 2012, under the ownership signature of rg, then as of now one of the best trusted WoT members. It began trading on the 15th that same month, with a total market capitalisation of about 3`000 BTC.
grubles: "Should BitVPS fail to execute this Agreement, as for instance by but not limited to breaching 2.2.e above, MPEX will notify the named individuals of their breach and may, at its sole discretion, suspend BitVPS from trading thus activating the liquidation of BitVPS. "

davout: im kinda curious as to why messages from seemingly you and your associate are still up on the frontpage
thestringpuller: 402 with bitcoin address that resolves to 200 once payment is paid is neat as part of paywall.
thestringpuller: People get annoyed enough as is with the whole auto-payment stuff that happens with itunes "da autorenewal".
thestringpuller: fluffypony: Why not just implement as part of a paywall? I dunno it seems...unnecessary?
cazalla: thestringpuller, when he's 18, legal age here, not 21 like the states, we start em young enough here as it is
decimation: " In combat this very often results in nonessential activities such as digestion, bladder control, and sphincter control being completely shut down. This process is so intense that soldiers very often suffer stress diarrhea, and it is not at all uncommon for them to urinate and defecate in their pants as the body literally “blows its ballast” in an attempt to provide all the energy resources required to ensure its survival."
mats: afterwards, we're in formation and all the dudes in the group have made it, and people are making fart jokes as usual
decimation: it's not as dumb as it sounds. one can buy a 'keyer' that will automatically make series of dots, dashes and combinations of dot/dashes
thestringpuller: i've always wanted to write a sketch about two computer gangs who are as ruthless as bloods and crips. but they are the vim's and emacs'
undata: mats: I went on a recent keybinding rally mapping things to space as leader plus keys around the index and middle fingers
mats: its pretty hopeless as far as carpal tunnel goes
asciilifeform: which, it turns out, the systemd pushers reflexively defended as a feature. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: http://paulgraham.com/ecw.html << run many models; run as many evaluations on those models as is practical and reweight the decisionmaking balance regularly; most ideas are bad ideas so try to find the smart people. did i miss anything?
asciilifeform: as they have in fact been demonstrated to do on many past occasions.
assbot: Gunman kills self after 2 NYPD cops fatally shot ‘execution style’ as ‘revenge’ for Garner | New York Post ... ( http://bit.ly/1Cft0Zg )
