asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: it falls squarely into the 'wouldn't it be nice' set of patches, rather than 'must have yesterday' set
assbot: altctrlcrit comments on Don't let Bitfinex scam you. ... ( http://bit.ly/1TTmQSU )
asciilifeform: d the switching systems a second access point where the signals exited the cable station to enter the AT&T, Sprint, MCI, etc backbones.'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform unlike http://trilema.com/2012/icbitse-the-bucket-shop/ et al, they didn't have the presence of mind to actually stop new orders.
asciilifeform: rint has one, and so on. The ECI codename for AT&T is "FAIRVIEW" and also US-990, but pay attention to the US-990 SIGAD code and it tends to indicate when a code and alias was initiated. US-990 dates from the day AT&T was broken up. On that date, each of the "baby bells" was given a ECI codename and SIGAD code name in the manner of that of AT&T.'
asciilifeform: 'Due to the ECI relationship, the technicians for AT&T had to possess a Top Secret security clearance to actually just access the fiber, because they might "accidentally" discover the tap, or discover data being diverted out of the fiber optic multiplexers. By the way, "ECI" means that the company is given a code name to conceal their involvement in illegal activities. For example, AT&T has a code name, MCI has a code name, Sp
assbot: Writing Vietnam - Readings: T. O' Brien ... ( http://bit.ly/1TThIOS )
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: If this winter made anything clear even USD promise anal rings can't sustain sub $200 BTC
mircea_popescu: and i don't expect them to pay, either.
asciilifeform: Bid-ask spread: -28.40343 >> isn't that convertible to an arse-mouth system ?
BingoBoingo: Well, reddit didn't do it
mircea_popescu still can't wait to see how the bitfinex settlement's gonna work
Bingo_VACAY: Someday I won't irc on 3g because Thor decided to be a USG bitch
mircea_popescu: don't quit the dayjob eh.
mircea_popescu: you don't do the right things TO be paid. you do them BECAUSE they're the right things.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i can appreciate the part where usg is there to give money to "compensate" the retarded kids that didn't reverse their spectrometer and so ended up with X loss tjhrough any of thbe multiple avenues. and i can appreciate how this makes lazy people manifest thjeir lazy.
mircea_popescu: and don't start with "gimme free stuff in very ellaborate detail of compelx usage".
mircea_popescu: anyway. yes usg can be rejected just by rejecting it. no, there aren't places where this actually hurts one. yes if one perceives to be hurt it's because one did something stupid in the past he'll have to undo. no this isn't anyone else's problem and no this calls for no sympathy.
trinque: can't speak to that, but the guy got himself booted, through X and a DE, so I can dig that.
mircea_popescu: there isn't a nation called "Programmer".
trinque: did not bitch "oh but it didn't work out of the box"
mircea_popescu: period and full fucking stop, there isn't even what to discuss here.
asciilifeform: hardware without which job isn't done - must work. even if operator has to fellate obama.
mircea_popescu: hardware that doesn't work doesn't work
mircea_popescu: not only he spent his money on something thar doesn't work
mircea_popescu: the man who can't hires one.
mircea_popescu: fact that wacom doesn't work with software means you can go fuck it, and fact that vectors are hard means you're still better off with gimp
asciilifeform: and you can't vectorize a pencil
asciilifeform: it is for the man who doesn't program device drivers.
mircea_popescu: so wait. "wacom doesn't work" is an objection to gimp,
mircea_popescu: isn't he elite!!1
mircea_popescu: ie, want to do something that shouldn't be done, or can't figure out how to find someone's pre-made lisp script
mircea_popescu: that's not the suggestion. what's said is that gimp is like lisp : if what you want to do can't be done in gimp iot's because you're either stupid or stupid.
Adlai: well fuck me i'm here to give you what you don't need
asciilifeform: Adlai: except i didn't ~need~ that
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> signal with farts. << If I understand Edgerouter and Pogo are "farts" that signal ingroup. GIMP is a shit that doesn't work by spz to signal ingroup?
asciilifeform: but it won't die on account of anyone pretending that xyz five-minutes-of-perl piece of shit is 'equal'
asciilifeform: don't lie and say 'same'.
asciilifeform: and i don't even see a list of blocks
Adlai: asciilifeform: doesn't slush lets any shmuck with a spondongle specify version numbers?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform didn't bingo run >9k version for a whiole ?
BingoBoingo: Fuck, why couldn't potential fiat revenue stream actualize last month.
Adlai: thus all the classes you skipped don't count and your deadbeat dropout status is revoked
Adlai: !t m s.mpoe
Adlai wrote his own secp256k1 group operations, isn't all the rest supposed to write itself?
danielpbarron: doesn't that create the final thing? i'm trying to create the flash installer
shinohai: I tried, builds lovely filesystem, doesn't write it to .img
danielpbarron: won't load for me, and now the wiki won't either
jurov: i found it more like bipolar than aspie (not to say it can't be both)
trinque: danielpbarron: I wouldn't give the guy one-off answers like that
trinque: but I don't hand you a gun first off when teaching you how to shoot
shinohai: I still can't help you.
assbot: Logged on 18-08-2015 14:22:09; BingoBoingo: They aren't complete, because I accidentalied a lot of it
trinque: because hypertext isn't wrong, the browser is
ascii_field: who doesn't believe this - get thee to valgrind, and see for yourself.
mircea_popescu: so for my own curiosity (inspired mostly by our bitcoin experiments here) i had it tested. there's no modern browser thatr doesn't leak memory.
mircea_popescu: i bet you he gets the bulk of it from womenz that don't know enough contemporaneous culture to just send nudies.
trinque: and if something doesn't do either of those things, it gets taped into one of them, or abandoned
mircea_popescu: see, that's the difference. i don't think we ca do a "like to think" if the premise is not an "all" or "every"
ascii_field: one effective answer is 'don't go there' - reasonable
mats: danielpbarron: wait what? 'MPEx1' hasn't tweeted since 2013
ascii_field: (not impossible, and i can't rule it out)
ascii_field: jurov: can't hurt
danielpbarron: ascii_field> danielpbarron ? << wasn't it like 20k?
mircea_popescu: yeah but i don't see how the smartphone made out of shit and sticks will cut it
ascii_field: the other thing is that price doesn't double when those directly hit can 'borrow' using shitflation - e.g., switch to chinese electrolytic capacitors instead of fukkupied jp parts
mircea_popescu: price doubled. (price doubled specifically bnecause it wasn't all the way, incidentally)
mircea_popescu: pogo isn't the same thing as "cellphone"
jurov: pogo is useless without hard drive, either (and no, we don't have antifuse rom)
ascii_field: i won't be surprised if we learn that usg has purchased and burned the bulk of those.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-08-2015#1242217 << they don't want to test, thjey know it doesn't work already. they want to derp. and, for a while yet, they can, so let 'em enjoe. ☝︎

trinque: she saw herself developing into a woman due to my books and fucking, and couldn't deal with that
mircea_popescu: trinque see ? that's your spv. "you're my thing, and if you shut up and suck it you may one day be smart enough to do all the things you don't like toi think about now because you're unsure"
mircea_popescu: punkman i don't care either way, they can vote if they want to, what.
mircea_popescu: and i mean... girls who'd lovingly, readily lick your asshole if you don't feel like using toilet paper, devoted.
mircea_popescu: i mean if she said that she couldn't possibly have been unfaithful yes ?

mircea_popescu: don't shoot mikey, we're not disparaging windows. just the users. k ?
mircea_popescu: like, conceivable. you wipe away tears of mental contradiction because you didn't think this could exist.
mircea_popescu: now, maybe they are aware and use windows for impenetrable reasons, to which i don't got much to say.
mircea_popescu: jurov i don't go there, im just speaking to the rthing i spoke to ok ?
mircea_popescu: you can't argue anecdote to statistics.
mircea_popescu: jurov "use" is not really the word there, and plenty of people we did or do hold in high esteem don't know how to use computers, or got a war wound.
assbot: Logged on 18-08-2015 18:29:04; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-08-2015#1242070 << yeah, and many people derping around "pua" conferences aren't retarded, just unaware there's better ways to relate to women.
mircea_popescu: because steak isn't that. and so... $5k a transaction is no big deal. if you don't care to have your shit verified by the entire world, go send a wire, at $500 or w/e it will be by then
mike_c: "The fact that the XT fork hasn't occurred yet is ridiculous," CoinWallet said. << I do so love the tears of rage and frustration.

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-08-2015#1242062 << you are such a tool means that you don't act of your own retardation. this is the worst insult known to usian. ☝︎
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell williamdunne ^ this was posted last night, and scoopbot_revived didn't see it.
pete_dushenski: 'virtual mining news' doesn't look like anything other than a scam, and it turns out it is !
BingoBoingo: Serioulsy I can't even
Naphex: BingoBoingo: hehe as if it isn't obvious enough ~240 nodes same time deployment since 17 aug
funkenstein_: So if I hit you, and you don't fall down, that means you aren't very tough.
