asciilifeform: 'may as well hang for a sheep as a lamb'
nubbins`: more like "disguising outright abuse / sociopathic behaviour as BDSM/kink" than "losing it" i guess
nubbins`: but as for the sexual encounters, seems like they signed up for consensual kink but messy gomeshi took this as carte blanche
bounce: about as productive. seeing how labour ends up importing pathetic chumps from elsewhere to keep access to a large pool of repressed lowlifes to represent.
mircea_popescu: mostly run as a cheap way to find people who think they should be prosecuted.
mircea_popescu: as a rule of thumb, if you keep doing this vague bs you'll end up on everyone's shitlist.
BingoBoingo: Oh, BTC not crashing as much as retail gasoline.
mircea_popescu: "it's as if we were writing perl." << bwahhaha
asciilifeform: gotta love modern spamatronic engineering terms like 'efficiency', 'reach.' they take arguments! but somehow always implicit - you can say 'reach' without saying 'reach what' ??! it's as if we were writing perl.

Apocalyptic: *as if
Apocalyptic: "if I were a little more patient I'd be doing great now..." // the noob fallacy, as it there was a way to perfectly time the bottom
ben_vulpes: roast the poor squeezed longs in the forum as an example.
ttnews_: I'm a newb made a big mistake and longed at 348. I read a website claiming it could go to 320 or as low as 280. I don't wanna panic but then again i get the feeling like i should cut my losses then short it since the stock market did crappy
ttnews_: any guess as to how low bitcoin will go?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes ah in that sense. what i mean is, there's plenty of talent out there. whether the talent is in the wot or not about 1000x as much as a factor as how good stuff they got in their portofolio
undata: I've always liked exile as a form of punishment.
mircea_popescu: sword cuts both ways. law abiding types will be fighing injunctions for twenty years before they can as much as print a fucking page off this log.

thestringpuller: asciilifeform: as granin says, "To capitalism!"
mircea_popescu: johntraveller http://wiki.bitcoin-assets.com/first_steps_in_bitcoin-assets << also a good thing to read, as a primer on the technology that is the fundament of our superiority.
mircea_popescu: consider the following situation : bundle 1 gets made, added, gets 1 confirm. bundle 2 gets created, gets added just as the blockchain reogrs.
mircea_popescu: never heard from him again as it were.
mircea_popescu: as far as i'm concerned i sent him a challenge when he was being dumb. http://trilema.com/2013/stage-n-bitcoin-exists/
assbot: Logged on 29-10-2014 01:16:56; nubbins`: also if anyone is curious, the following links may be of some use as a quick and dirty deed verification system:
nubbins`: as are my casascius custody chains, although that's more my decision than anyone else's 8)
nubbins`: my s.mg ssw was signed in this fashion as well
ben_vulpes as well
ben_vulpes: gentlemen, please check patches i've published as well
decimation: as if fincen is ever going to say "sure you can do whatever you want without asking us again"
mircea_popescu: empiricism is about as constant as beauty.
nara_narayana: in matters such as this, i couldn't care less where you stick your penis
undata: mircea_popescu: the writer is trying to cast himself as part of some team which Thiel brings some kind of social progress honor to

assbot: Around 100,000 Hungarians rally for democracy as internet tax hits nerve| Reuters
mircea_popescu: as opposed to what, the officious class action ?
asciilifeform: and the peculiar flavour of the articles, as if water were vented to outer space
decimation: it's obvious he will be used as a figurehead that will represent yet another cause that deserves a usg teat
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "because user can't modify hardware as easily" ?
asciilifeform: 'The site has headlines such as "Why The Future Of Anonymous Browsing Lies In Hardware," ' << lol! even after 'kickstarter' threw out the turd?
decimation: as I pointed out last night, 7-bit ascii has perfectly good SOM/EOM chars
mircea_popescu: so then, emails can only be sent to list as base64'd signed matter.
jurov: nope, it did base64 encode it and put it as second attachment after empty text/plain part
jurov: try leaving the body empty and put the mesg as first attachemnt
nubbins`: also if anyone is curious, the following links may be of some use as a quick and dirty deed verification system:
jurov: it's the same as in the tarball?
mircea_popescu: not the best way to behave as a new guy.
asciilifeform: guessed as much
mircea_popescu: <Pierre_Rochard> that said, focusing on those on the fence about registering may be a better approach than chastising those who are very reluctant (as they would get a negative rating right off the bat) << i doubt anyone'd care enough to neg them, unless they did stupid shit
Pierre_Rochard: that said, focusing on those on the fence about registering may be a better approach than chastising those who are very reluctant (as they would get a negative rating right off the bat)
kakobrekla: >We're sorry for the confusion, it does appear that this was an inbound attack and we've removed the block on your server. I've also given you a $10 credit as an apology for the inconvenience.
mircea_popescu: just as i pasted the live feed link, they said "need to secure area cause there was crypto gear on board."

BingoBoingo: As matter of record I would like to advance as evidence Google News sucks the point the WKMG in Orlando was the only hit for the term "Nasa Explosion" within the past 12 hours.
kakobrekla: just as i pasted the live feed link, they said "need to secure area cause there was crypto gear on board."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform mkay, so i got as far as page 67. i fail to see why any of this drivel is either important or useful, and especially the conflation of "country" and "territory" seems idiotic.
punkman: " As with binary signatures on text documents, a cleartext signature is calculated on the text using canonical <CR><LF> line endings." << wtf does this mean
asciilifeform: as if we ever were short on reasons!
jurov: <mircea_popescu> o yes it does.<< same thing as spaces in the end of lines, you did not get it
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> if any of you think this is unreasonable, please say why. << it's a wot thing. does not matter one rat's ass what anyone thinks of it as long as you got a policy you thought out and are sticking to.
nubbins`: unless we've all suddenly decided to nominate Windows as the OS of choice, \r\n should not be within a thousand feet of this thing :D
Naphex: asciilifeform: so did you remove the fork alerts as well or just the alert-keying system?
mircea_popescu: no but seriously, groups split off at that point when carrying the food (where ? they were fucking nomadic anyway) cost as much energy as the food provided ?
mircea_popescu: uh you telling me gpg takes "STATJSON" and "STATJSON " as validly signed by the same signature ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: against the f-students, we have pills. but it would be hasty to administer the pills as of yet.
TomServo: ahaha, yes. What's your take then, as far as timeline goes?
mircea_popescu: TomServo whatever asciilifeform linked earlier. something with "total base acreage", as fucking if.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu << i must point out that the turd's merely been chucked onto the turdlathe. no one as of yet solved anything.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i'll do something-or-other for your foundation thing, so long as it doesn't involve actual work
jurov: imo we can apply the same process as for patches. someone in da wot makes release, ppl sign
ben_vulpes: yes, encrypted because clearsigned as well.
ben_vulpes: ah so this list is for comms as well.
Naphex: Almost all module functions depend on the basic function random(), which generates a random float uniformly in the semi-open range [0.0, 1.0). Python uses the Mersenne Twister as the core generator. It produces 53-bit precision floats and has a period of 2**19937-1. The underlying implementation in C is both fast and threadsafe. The Mersenne Twister is one of the most extensively tested random number generators in existence. However, being comple
adlai: "dumb"? doesn't this just mean you can treat it as providing less entropy than the number of bits it spits out?
xiando: those are syntetic diamonds so it's not quite the same as with real. diamonds are big scam (what is debears corporation?) so go with those syntetic anyway if you want to waste money on that garbage
BingoBoingo: Not as readily as diamond
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: listen, if smart people don't fuck whores, the poor girls are left with a very poor impression of maledom << was reminded of this as i watched the sopranos today.
mircea_popescu: so. you take the deed as is, and base58 it ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they didn't start as one. but anyway, either their cash runs out in a few months or it does not.
pete_dushenski: "Arthur Levitt, the longest-serving chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, is joining the advisory boards of two bitcoin-focused companies. As an adviser to Atlanta-based BitPay, a bitcoin payment processor, and Vaurum, a Palo Alto-based bitcoin exchange for institutional investors..."
mircea_popescu: as stupid as possible, granted. once that is granted, nothing else can further be achieved. he can't be anything "as much as possible" hence.
undata: mircea_popescu: germs are dirty; obviously he's as clean as possible
mircea_popescu: "In lieu of showering I sprayed myself with AOBiome’s custom skin bacteria blend. Body odor is caused by the emissions of proliferating skin bacteria, as unique as a fingerprint. The Nitrosomonas eutropha taking over my skin now metabolizes ammonia into odorless nitrite and nitric oxide. Success!"
ben_vulpes: if you dig into chainparams and main.cpp (iirc) you'll find such joys as the "stop generating a chain after 1 block is found so that...reasons"
decimation: if we want to be backwards compatible, might as well go back to 1920's era teletype machines
mircea_popescu: decimation: why would anyone think it would be a good idea to escape chars below 7 bits? << gpg escapes the dash because it uses a dash-cvomposite as a special char.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes see, parsing is not as good as compiling.
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> it's as if we were still using teletype << funny story, biz partner bought hisself some gps chips
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes it's not as big as it seems.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` which works just as well, as i don't,
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal it's the dump of js as loaded on my system, because somehow it doesn't come to the same results as other people here.
nubbins`: kLuzx7GDPg8uXRawaZG9ndU7hfTd8CBHSTCCffSdzLA as passphrase produces 13VBRJStiTVkJYUrvAdCvFdvFhVecRkb1e
thestringpuller: Didn't a shipping container with 100 billion or so get lost in Iraq in the early 2000's as well?
