ThickAsThieves: ttheyre like branded into the ground as is
mircea_popescu: but seriously : this machine which purports to remove freedoms, as if, and replace them with "rights", as if.
mircea_popescu: well, unless there's a refugee camp with hot sexy 12 year old locals. then all bets are off. Standard UN policy in the matter, as seen in Congo, Haiti, Liberia, Sudan, Burundi etc.
ben_vulpes: and contracts are structured in equity-holders benefit, and not as a raping tool for VCs.
gribble: Error: You must not give the empty string as an argument.
Vexual: it's lean as a chech pornstar
gribble: Nick 'moiety', with hostmask 'moiety!~moiety@unaffiliated/moiety', is identified as user 'moiety', with GPG key id 6DF881D6696B6111, key fingerprint E64F1CD74C9F7F955A892A646DF881D6696B6111, and bitcoin address None
RagnarDanneskjol: I captured the archive and am putting up on the alt place as we speak
pete_dushenski: and as a closing thought before the dreams take hold, i have a hard time imagining that bitstamp will seize much more than 10k bitcoin. what's that, a week of price depression?
mircea_popescu: got a decent router in front of the server, puny as it is.
ben_vulpes: i mean its dingy as fuck but mebbe if i work really hard
mircea_popescu: but be that as it may, it's fascinating how the stuff that doesn't cross is always more interesting than the stuff that does
mircea_popescu: there's a fine example of your "black nationalism" in there, as deployed by sam l jackson's character
mircea_popescu: Even more property was forfeited by participating in a federal program known as “equitable sharing.” By partnering with a federal agency, local and state law enforcement can keep up to 80 percent of the proceeds from a forfeited property. Incredibly, police can collaborate even if doing so would circumvent their own states’ protections for property owners.
mircea_popescu: <cazalla> and just as i am about to publish a story << yeah well that'sdhelped along by the fact that you're always about to publish one lol
gribble: I am connected to freenode as gribble.
asciilifeform: above the level of the folks who are merely practicing, there's someone who is making a point. same point as every king ever. public impalement to show he still 'has it.'
asciilifeform: to these folks, you and i are just the same as the paper hares and squirrels at the shooting gallery.
BingoBoingo: decimation: A different "ranger bob" could have just as easily left him buried in the woods to be found next century
decimation: that maine fellow is amusing. it demonstrates that as long as you don't make yourself a general 'problem', you will have ranger bob on your ass and not an entire state's police force
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: these folks are almost as predictable as stellar bodies
kakobrekla: as in trilema.
decimation: asciilifeform: it has been remarked here before about how good 'democracy' (as practiced today) is so good at misdirecting the masses' need for war/violence/etc
decimation: after all, fortresses in the middle ages were mostly used as tollbooths
assbot: Robocoin Removed By Australian Police As Part Of Drug Arrests | Qntra.net
cazalla: http://qntra.net/2014/10/robocoin-removed-by-australian-police-as-part-of-drug-arrests/
cazalla: and just as i am about to publish a story
asciilifeform: http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/fbi-director-tech-companies-should-be-required-to-make-devices-wire-tap-friendly/2014/10/16/93244408-555c-11e4-892e-602188e70e9c_story.html << how sweet the smoke. as if any of these were - or could possibly be - 'unfriendly'
Yna: As I said I need to lock it somewhere
mircea_popescu: Azelphur apparently the existing hardware is the only part that works as advertised
mircea_popescu: Fact is they ran away with $25k from me, if it was reinvested or not doesn't matter really as they promised to make it from trading..."
nubbins`: i said "snofshanofshanof" to myself as i pasted it ;/
asciilifeform: yes. without the client's cooperation, not possible (as pictured in the book)
asciilifeform: a telephone pole ought to work, as its equivalent did in past centuries.
mircea_popescu: that's useful regulation. everything else, as useful as piss.
mircea_popescu: <Apocalyptic> more generally, the article as far as I understands it sheds a negative light on "regulation", as reminded by the Romanian footnote, it mainly results in you being fucked << it just makes the point that regulation is the stricture of death. which it is
bounce: might throw it out as an open letter to some large paper or other
ThickAsThieves: Please, take a step back and ask yourself, as a consumer and citizen, what you are really doing, who you are really protecting, and then consider the price that will be paid in privacy, freedom, and consumer value."
ThickAsThieves: "This regulation just won't work other than to give big institutions a way to feel safe getting into bitcoin services. That's fine, but the fact is that this is global, and money as a concept needs to change to be a private concern along with this. A centralized government should not try to impose its ideals on the world, it just can't work, will be expensive, and will ultimately hinder
Apocalyptic: more generally, the article as far as I understands it sheds a negative light on "regulation", as reminded by the Romanian footnote, it mainly results in you being fucked
ThickAsThieves: as the monster gets bigger, it gets less agile
bounce: laws putting a punishment on murder count as "regulation", yet they're quite useful most of the time.
mircea_popescu: yes, as implemented by socialists and in socialist states, it is always bad.
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, I'm not sure I get this, do you consider the b-a voice system as such ?
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic well but i mean, then obama doesn't regard executive orders as regulation mechanisms.
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, I don't regard the b-a voice system as a regulation mecanism
mircea_popescu: as idiots understand dealmaking.
Apocalyptic: <kakobrekla> there is no place for an honest exchange // i'm beginning to think that way as well
ThickAsThieves: ftr i dont classify bfx as scammers
mircea_popescu: so you know, just because they're not quite as feckless as bitstamp, what's that do for anyone.
Adlai: looks like you have some reading to do as well :P
ThickAsThieves: i'd say that 12-18mos of logs is probly the requirment now, the discourse hasnt been as dense this year
BigBitz: kakobrekla well that's why I was asking. Feel free to educate me as to how they're inclined to scam.
Adlai: for one thing, they're offering this fishy mining contract as a "beta" but taking real money for it
BigBitz: or they're a scam as they're stealing coins?
BigBitz: So they're a scam as they use shitty code?
Adlai: (in this cache, 'cache' is pronounced to rhyme with 'face', as sean connery would pronounce it)
mircea_popescu: and if the price runs up, someone will have a lot of splaining to do, as ot where all the millions went.
mircea_popescu: a cache can be fucked up for an arbitrary number of entries as well as for a single one.
Apocalyptic: but afaik Nejc & co are still in Slovenia, as is the bank
assbot: Logged on 11-07-2014 19:49:38; asciilifeform: the people who did that kickstart, for instance, are separated from their true motherland - the uranium mines - for so long as the money lasts them.
mats_cd03: you will see a tell later when you identify as alf.
ascii_on_tour: kickstarter scam << actual scam. quite like if i were to ship a repainted 'raspberry' as cardano
gribble: CAUTION: irc nick differs from otc registered nick. Nick 'xinxi', with hostmask 'xinxi!~xinxi@nusnet-185-15.dynip.nus.edu.sg', is identified as user 'wangxinxi', with GPG key id 331894345B459329, key fingerprint EE5C4780D0955B8E25CF2667331894345B459329, and bitcoin address None
jurov: i have linux in emulator, use that windows 8 crap only as loader and hw interface
jurov has "startx -- --dpi 166" on the yoga and the text is still 3mm or so. exactly as it should.
mircea_popescu: i suppose that goes a long way to explain it huh, as long as your fonts are a cm tall 1k or 5k px are all about the same
mircea_popescu: also 2880x5210 rather than as is
mircea_popescu: but as far as any sane measure can be had, this is the only open bitcoin space
thickasthieves: i dont think it;s something to be defensive about so much as internally sensitive to
mircea_popescu: (the wp-comment lines are in there legitimately, btw. the way trilema works is that if an ip has a previous comment spamlisted, further connections are rejected outright. so these are all spammers, and can be used as such)
mircea_popescu: they could just as well retire, because they can no longer actually contribute. but if they don't want to retire they can hang around as lolcow fodder.
thickasthieves: ok i have a question about this block size thing, supposing it stays is, couldnt miners just specialize if size became an issue? As in, big mining ops would filter big fees, small mining ops small fees. Then further extend this to nodes, where a node provider could make a custom wallet that automatically broadcasted the tx to itseld and the blockchain at large, and you pay a fee to them
kakobrekla: posting a pic here and there is not same as dedi bot for vex and tsp fap to
kakobrekla: as far as i understood .jpg will keep you as wide as the real thing. well maybe not .jpg, but a .gif.
mircea_popescu: i see it as an invaluable tool to keep the overton window wide enough so actual stuff of value can occur.
bounce doesn't think of that as signal, no
kakobrekla wonders if he is the only one to see that as noise
mircea_popescu: "I would like to start by saying that in context of the below, my identity is irrelevant. My identity becomes relevant if I break the law, which is something that neither myself nor my employees have done. " herp. "i am resigning. who is 'i' ? don't ask! and take my anon claim at face value as to everything else"
bounce: then again, it's not as bad as that. the socialists build their own old boys club and pass cushy jobs back and forth. well-paid jobs "helping" various types of the needy with plenty of taxpayer money. all the elitism, now with extra pretense.
mircea_popescu: as opposed to all the failure modes in history prior to that, which resulted from failing to follow the educational paradigm
moriarty: think of perception as inputs to the machine
wywialm: by the way, how one can obtain historical data of MPEx stocks, as well as the most recent prices?
mircea_popescu: just as long as it doesn't reduce to a "she's a woman/politician/newbie and her lips are moving so -> lying"
gabriel_laddel: RagnarDanneskjol: you would classify him as "subtle"?
mircea_popescu: just as long as fb is still inflated~!
wywialm: and sadly, trilema is down as well
RagnarDanneskjol: i told him to look into digi ocean - they have built-in 'guaranteed anti DOS and are about as reliable as anything I have found - its what many of the large pools run on
cazalla: " Unfortunately, our system has been unable to verify some aspects of the identity information that you provided. At your convenience, please submit a scanned copy of a government issued photo ID, such as a passport or drivers license."
BingoBoingo: r3wt: Qntra.net is a thing. It pissed people off. Attracts massive DOS attacks in its second week of life. Just take a minute to imagine yourself as a newsman.
ben_vulpes: xinxi: look into mosh as well
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: clean. then, 'silicone' or 'teflon' << As the online machine sounds like a bee sanctuary now a Mosin solution sounds more tempting than tender love.
asciilifeform: (sold as 'can of air' where i live, mysteriously)
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: i rejected three entirely different designs (different as in the diff b/w dataflow and von neumann) that did not even bother describing. perhaps archaeologists (or the vultures) can get something from my notes. << Now you are touching my view of qntra realized. Not as "news" but as cabinet of microfiche
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i rejected three entirely different designs (different as in the diff b/w dataflow and von neumann) that did not even bother describing. perhaps archaeologists (or the vultures) can get something from my notes.
BingoBoingo: * asciilifeform in the mines << As far as I can tell I am not allowed near the mines anymore
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: not dead as such. 'hacker news' runs on it...
kakobrekla: clear as day at such difficulty.
asciilifeform: at the very least, not a single one of the several dozen gpu-mining trojans i have collected from the wild actually works if installed as intended
mircea_popescu: same thing as if you're a "senior counsel" for the sec, or anything else.
