BingoBoingo: <ryanxcharles> hey friends, just a comment re: javascript... personally, i
think all variables should be global, and all numbers should be floating points << Am I still
tripping?

the fuck came up with

to know.
ryanxcharles: this is why javascript is
the best programming language for any

☟︎ adlai thinks back
to when he first connected scalpl
to bitfinex, and found
that "signature = HMAC-SHA384(payload, api-secret) as hexadecimal" apparently also means
to zero pad it
to 96 bytes
adlai: so some orders got placed. some didn't.
teeth were gnashed.
adlai: but "\"is_hidden\":true," pushes
the length of SOME messages over 240 characters
adlai: scalpl already
talks
to bitfinex, but i hadn't
tried placing hidden orders before
kakobrekla: are you
trying
to hook up scalpl
to
that ?
adlai: maybe i need
to
throw
their endpoint servers
through a plate glass window
adlai: their API fails
to verify messages 240 characters and longer
adlai: holy fuck. bitfinex are not just derpier
than imagined,
they're derpier
than it is possible
to imagine
assbot: Logged on 09-12-2014 04:47:20; PeterL: now you should be able
to say: scoopbot -fetch and he will get
the scoop
TomServo: sans
trilema.com, or pm -fetch
mircea_popescu: because
they can't be arsed
to stand up, get off
the phone,
think about it...
ansc: well if idiocy prevails,
there is no hope for mankind. does
the common man not shape history?
mircea_popescu: anyway,
to get an idea of
this crazy : every
time you go into a shop of any kind, you have a 50-50 chance for
the sales person
to
try
to provide what you're asking for OR
to
try and convince you not
to buy anything.
rithm: i like boobies
tho
ansc: but it shows
that
the common man is willing
to ebdure idiocy on a vast
timescale
that exceeds our patience by orders of magnitude
mircea_popescu: and everything
that
to you might pass for business sense.
mircea_popescu: argentina is amusing. it has a very socialist-populist government
that is very inept, and a large population hell bent on ignoring it
ansc: ok but
travel where
to? how is argentina in
that respect e.g.?
mircea_popescu: great mine canary
that. you knew
that once
that ended,
there shall be war.
mircea_popescu: i kinda enjoyed
their
taunting letters up until 2010 or w/e.
mircea_popescu: the peaceful exists are
the monopoly of
they willing
to
travel.
ansc: i am so scared bc i don't see a peaceful exit from
the current communist idiotic system
ansc: in our current system, one man one vote, how can we ever escape communism, other
than by a collapse of
the currency?
rithm: fluffypony
talk dirty black holes
to me
ansc: well flattering here and
there..
that's not
the point.
ansc: looked but didn't find. it was your
thought anyway LOL
ansc: struck me as a fundamental
truthy
ansc: mp you recently wrote about
the
two kinds of ppl: freedom attaining and not. on
trilema.
mircea_popescu: like, say,
the price of oil bends your future irrespective of who you are. do you call
this relating
to oil ?
ansc: frankly, my fellow subhumans would not remotely be able
to indulge in your previously published comments.
ansc: that is all fine and such. anything
that human beings not destined for freedom could relate
to? (referring
to one of your latest blog posts)
mircea_popescu: except, of course, fiction in
those parts where it's hermetic, and otherwise insanity.
mircea_popescu: and for
this reason, it will necessarily enjoy a priviledged relationship with all
things of import.
mircea_popescu: now, bitcoin happens
to have a priviledged relationship with
truth
mircea_popescu: things
that are completely independent are by
that very fact also completely hermetic. like
the ravings of
the insane.
mircea_popescu: the subiacent point
there, perhaps unapparent, is
that every human construct fundamentally relies on
truth
to be recognisable as such.
assbot: Logged on 11-12-2014 09:10:20; mircea_popescu: fluffypony all future coin, of any
type, and more generally all future human industry of all
types is indelibly linked
to bitcoin
ansc: could you pls elaborate a little on
that
thought?
Namworld: There's an infinite number of stats and
types of reports and what not.
mircea_popescu: Namworld i have no idea how
their stats look, so
this is as good as anything.
ansc: which is, as everything you write, a very
true if somewhat hyperbolic assessment of
the present state of
the union.
ansc: mp you once wrote 'thee is only one
thing
that matters
today: bitcoin' or something similar
mike_c: I
thought you might know some people in your irl wot from
the area.
ansc: i am here
to ask a small favour
mike_c: what I heard was
that
there were a bunch of reliable firms in eastern europe, with ukraine and slovenia being mentioned explicitly. and ukraine seems risky choice
these days.
ansc: hi. i am just a simple redditard. regular reader and fan of
trilema
though.
mike_c: you're next
to madagascar or something, right? (kidding..)
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller i dun see where
the 1/10 comes from
then ?
kakobrekla: lol mike_c all you got is
they should be slovenians and
thats
that?
mike_c: they haven't raised since a year ago. rumor mill says
they are out raising again now.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller didnt
they recently get moar investment ?
mike_c: kakobrekla: someone
told me recently I should hire slovenians
to build a mobile app for me. do you know anyone in
that industry in your neck of
the woods?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: yes from
the contract, but what would invoke
this clause?
mircea_popescu: fuck
them for having 404 pages in
the first place,
they should fix both
their website and
the broken process which resulted in
this being a problem in
the first place.
mircea_popescu: i guess
the issue is,
their page is now 404 and
they don't want you linkign
to a 404 page
fluffypony: I don't understand
the point of
their email
