mike_c: don't we already have a scoop?
williamdunne: +1 on auto-upping some nicks. I wanted to re-write Scoop in a language that doesn't use JIT and other such crap, but many languages lack GPG libraries that actually work.
asciilifeform: dr y. wasn't dumb. merely entirely uninteresting, preoccupied with details of daily life as a not-especially-well-of d.c. resident, e.g., where the 'cheapest' petrol is to be had
mircea_popescu: but i can't stand dumb.
mircea_popescu: and in those terms, your problem is "why are you such an asshole" which comes directly to "why don't you wash like we do".
trinque: so they don't waste my time
trinque: I don't want to spend another morning farting around with something as inconsequential as an RSS plugin
trinque: so why don't you set rules for everyone to be autovoiced when authed with nickserv
lobbes: well, I can't really say 'no.' If you've got a working solution, there's no need to wait for my derpage
lobbes: for some reason, the OTP from assbot doesn't get sent to the messages.log like it used to pre-limnoria
mircea_popescu: they don't have women in china, either ?!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it wasn't discussed as anything more than a very vague possibility. just, your objections got rejected is all!
BingoBoingo: Don't they have that wall thing to keep the Mongols lost and until they get found, but for internet
mircea_popescu: adding to the amusement, the part that he wasn't aware that to the average romanian, the arab,gypsy difference seems slight. but i suspect you know in english russian, chinese, same deal.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: my point is that china is different from ro, ar, usa, in several interesting ways which mircea_popescu appears to heavily discount the importance of. perhaps he has own reasons for this, but i couldn't possible know them..
asciilifeform: or i suppose i could talk about my years of working in labs with ~50% or so cn folks, getting to know'em, but i don't imagine mircea_popescu will find this interesting
asciilifeform: it isn't a 'couldn't do business,' but my current understanding is that the han chinese see white man sorta how the gypsies see european - as somebody to be scammed clean at the first opportunity.
mircea_popescu: and if i couldn't do business with a defined class, no matter which class, i'd have a very serious PERSONAL problem in my own estimation, and i'd go resolve it forthwith.
mircea_popescu: yes, that's not a concern. nevertheless, whether i buy or i don't buy is still a decision.
asciilifeform: i bet nubbins`'s cook roomie isn't any more present in pyongyang than in pekin
asciilifeform: idk, but i imagine it isn't any less entertaining than crashing a lame thin fuck's party ?
asciilifeform: understand, there weren't vintage/rarity/mod-chipped units
mircea_popescu: then they wonder why they can't keep baghdad
BingoBoingo: I see no other outcome. This isn't even artmarket altcoins which... Don't expire when the pig goes to slaughter.
mircea_popescu: fuck it. if what's done doesn't pay you don't do it.
mircea_popescu: (jet fuel doesn't melt steel btw)
asciilifeform: i can't wait till mircea_popescu discovers the cn mega-reddits
asciilifeform: and iirc mircea_popescu didn't either?
asciilifeform: i don't have one of those here...
mircea_popescu: she ain't it.
mircea_popescu: mike_c i ain't sayin' anything.
mike_c: question I don't expect an answer to: how does mpex handle the gpg processing?
mircea_popescu: trinque weren't you ruinning it ?
mats: isn't that the outfit gavin worked for?
mats: crowded, terrible air, you don't speak chinese, you'll never be chinese, inscrutable local politics
mircea_popescu: what, not like they don't let him in without conf invite lol
mats: i can't even afford to go myself :P
mircea_popescu: maybe some kids wanted to fuck but didn't know how to camp so they used the available pilar ?
mircea_popescu: wyrdmantis just because web-programmers suck doesn't mean asm no longer exists.
mike_c: because I don't trust it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and see, if they used hot gurlz, it wouldn't be 'common man !!11!!!111'
mike_c: gpgme i don't know about
punkman: python-gpgme doesn't call out to shell but I haven't used it
mircea_popescu: all these people derping about how "oh, cyprus banks collapsed - bitcoin lalala ; oh argentina default - bitcoin lalala" don't comprehend the very basics of how economics works.
mike_c: Ok. That was my impression, that the data source wasn't quite ready yet. we can wait.
asciilifeform: mike_c: may be premature, i haven't fully written the antecedent walker yet. but basic idea was to create a browsable (possibly clickable) directed acyclic graph
PeterL: well, we have one of those, but only the oldest would understand what to do with it (maybe the second, I should pull it out and see sometime?) the third wouldn't eat the stones, he would probably grab them and throw them across the room, causing the first two to come screaming to me that their brother ruined the game
Adlai doesn't agree with that philosophy literally, but doesn't agree with the generally popular approach to child-rearing either
PeterL: well, they don't watch much of it
PeterL: I don't have my kids watch TV for development, it is just entertainment
funkenstein_: so like, when it's the neighbors who somehow you don't care about their development at all, it's bearable
PeterL: like, I wouldn't sit down and watch it myself, but if they watch it I don't stab my ears, like if "Dora the Explora" gets turned on
fluffypony: "BE COOL BRO, DON'T MESS THIS ONE UP"
fluffypony: I wouldn't fall into those numbers at all
cazalla: well, what do i know, i don't watch tv on tv
fluffypony: they don't count international viewers because that's all syndication
cazalla: fluffypony, that's total viewers.. doesn't even top 2 million viewers in the US
punkman: she doesn't seem to be selling anything or asking for "tips" of any kind
cazalla: i don't buy that that chick came up with that shop, probably marketing material and it'll be on kickstarter tmw
punkman: "SexyCyborg says, while her choice of clothing might be shocking to Westerners, people in Shenzhen couldn't give two bits! As seen in her numerous scantily clad photos with lots of disinterested pedestrians in the background."
punkman: jurov: I didn't put a hash in my detached sig filename though
asciilifeform: notably, it isn't a 32-bit-mirror
assbot: Logged on 23-08-2015 21:19:55; mats: i haven't seen any python libraries that enable this behavior without shelling out to the binary (or maybe i'm retarded, i dunno)
trinque: I can't even tell
danielpbarron: i've read stuff since then, i just don't always read it all in order
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> it is a solution to 'real people and spamming scum try to occupy limited space together' << yes, but the "free market" solution is "make people solve it on their own cpu" whereas you propose "solve it for other people on my own cpu". yes, if we can limit the market we don't need it to be free. but if we could make it free we wouldn't need to limit it.
mircea_popescu: yeah but what i'm saying is that this mmm and the 1990s historical item aren't much related
phf: infos from which links to btctalk threads https://forum.bits.media/index.php?/topic/3684-mavrodi-sobralsia-valit-bitkoin/, but archive doesn't pick anything up from mmmcoin.com
asciilifeform: in the sense that i can't go and just connect to, e.g., 'swift', because i'd like to.
asciilifeform: ... where the thing doesn't function as a public toilet at all.
mircea_popescu: for that matter - i don't even have any objections, which is more of a journalistic achievement than a pulizer in each hand.
mircea_popescu: (the "retail bank" where you go talk to a person you don't know that doesnty know you is really no different from mcdonalds "cuisine". irl, banks work a lot more like tailors)
asciilifeform: presently i can't entirely understand why the swarm of sybils has materialized exactly there - aws isn't particularly cheap, if you actually use the cpu/disk
asciilifeform: shouldn't those folks be hanging out with their own kind ?
assbot: Logged on 23-08-2015 01:16:09; ben_vulpes: solve my system of equations goddamnit don't try to intuit what i mean
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: my thought was actually that it was illustrative of the idea you explained - that random beggar can't own a 'promissory n0te'
mircea_popescu: and the nonsense says that both the theoretical position you seek to defend is rubbish, and that the la times article you seek to defend it with is both rubbish and wouldn't defend it even if it weren't, and the it were defensible.
assbot: Logged on 22-08-2015 21:23:49; mircea_popescu: there isn't a way for peasant to OWN picasso
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mod6 http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-08-2015#1249381 << this is a potentially catastrophic misuse of the thing. if you glom the patches together, i can't sigverify'em, can't (easily) match them against earlier publications of same, and most of all - can't read it worth a damn ☝︎
mircea_popescu: theymos tried to salvage reddit through doing what he wouldn't do to save bitcointalk three years ago ; this failed to work, reddit-bitcoin shattered.
fluffypony: damned if you do, damned if you don't
fluffypony: so the Redditards have taken to telling me that I don't support XT because it's in my interest for Bitcoin to fail
mircea_popescu: if anyone's bored, here's a simple job : take all reddit accounts > 1 year old that are in favour of xt, count the ones who weren't also active in some other historically failed fork attempt.
assbot: Logged on 23-08-2015 21:19:55; mats: i haven't seen any python libraries that enable this behavior without shelling out to the binary (or maybe i'm retarded, i dunno)
mats: i haven't seen any python libraries that enable this behavior without shelling out to the binary (or maybe i'm retarded, i dunno) ☟︎☟︎
mats: this doesn't seem to make any sense from a pure crypto standpoint
mod6: the chick with 3 fingers thinks its a good idea. and gavin says "hey, you can't do that!" to the lion. the lion says, "we WILL do that."
danielpbarron: i don't know who that is, but it looks like gavin's twitter pic
punkman: "10am:Traffic is terrible. You're running out of gin. The girl in the trunk won't stop screaming. She'll be dead soon. So will you. Eat arbys"
pete_dushenski: then again, they're not rothschilds so prolly doesn't much matter
mircea_popescu: ahahahah lol modigliani. "o you don't like pieface ? try longface!"
ben_vulpes: disease wasn't intentional at all, some vast majority was wiped out by unrecorded initial explorers of the americas
pete_dushenski: aren't*
mod6: Don't feel like it's a waste of time either to create your own method to generate these vpatches and see if we come out with the same resultant hash.
ben_vulpes: solve my system of equations goddamnit don't try to intuit what i mean ☟︎
punkman: I don't see how that'd be possible
mircea_popescu: sadly it doesn't seem matematically possible to have this miracle.
mircea_popescu: a retail payment system that isn't visa is going to be inferior to a retail payment system that is visa for the foreseeable future.
phf: ben_vulpes: -p doesn't seem to do the same thing on os x as --parents does in gnu cp
mircea_popescu: no i mean i didn't really have a very good idea
