this
assbot: Logged on 11-09-2014 03:44:22; *: decimation remembers every pos and library using said
terminals growing up, only
to be replaced with buggy-ass windows for no reason
☟︎ mike_c: this has nothing
to do with website shopping
decimation: I called customer service and
they said
that it would be quite impossible
to change
the first set of numbers, because
that's my account number
decimation: when my credit card number kept getting stolen (before I was smart about website passwords), amex refused
to change anything other
than
the last 4 digits when 're-issued'
PeterL: patate: what brings you
to #bitcoin-assets?
mike_c: for "my" safety. except i'm not liable for fraud. so actually
they are being a pain in my ass for
their safety. fucking home depot.
mike_c: yes. and now i have
to run around
to all
the individuals i
trusted before and change it.
decimation: I
think
this is common in
the 'democratic' world - 'venue shopping'
decimation: mike_c: did it have a secret number on
the front
that you were only
to share with pre-trusted individuals
decimation: it's obviously an idea balloon
that
they are going
to
try
to use
to kill bitcoin dead everywhere
decimation: as far as I know few/no american
tardstream media is covering
decimation: this mastercard in australia
thing is lulzy
decimation: mike_c: are you saying
that luck ain't got nothing
to do with it?
mike_c: v2 of
the bitbet analyzer is so cool i almost want
to keep it
to myself. i'd win all
the bitcoins.
decimation: probably affecting your ability
to produce melatonin at night
kakobrekla: yes it can be felt here on 5x27" as well but no
tan :\
undata: then of course
the whole
thing is moot on broken hardware
undata: there's always
the hard problem of bootstrapping your build
tools in a secure way
undata: that'd be miles better
than just
trusting what ended up in
the ebuild
undata: it'd be neat
to publish
the hash of a given release of a package into
the blockchain
decimation: one of
the main problems
that linux packaging aims
to solve is exactly
the issue ascii rants about,
that is - lack of a global namespace for code
decimation: 'make install'
the
turd as it comes without modification
decimation: well, gentoo is pretty close
to having 'unpackages'
decimation: Dr-G: are you connected via
tor and
then sasl, or end-to-end sasl
to freenode?
undata: decimation: yep, I
think it's necessary
decimation: undata:
true, but how else does one 'convey'
trust?
undata: I don't see how you solve
that problem without having all source packages grabbed directly from creators with signatures verified, and compiling yourself
decimation: and note
that "Maintenance" nearly always consists of adding some derpy package
turd
decimation: which is nearly universal as far as I can
tell
decimation: why should I
trust some derp who 'volunteers' for arch over
the upstream creator?
decimation: asciilifeform: one
thing
that annoys me about most distro crypto-discipline is
that
they pretend
that only
the 'maintainers' could sign
decimation: few actual important details have been released, like "where
they are gonna buy bitcoin" and "how
they gonna index btc price"
decimation: yeah, it seems
they are already derped by much of of
the 'tardstream' media anyway
cazalla: decimation,
they're pretty quiet

this build); No comment.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i've only just now started appreciating good wines, i don't care
to get into "good" monitors
too.
kakobrekla: this will get a bit spammy, but i want
to have it in
the log, so lets just get it over with.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i've only just started
to appreciate it
BingoBoingo: I was
thinking more like a pinky finger cased in lucite,
the chunk of flesh, not
the monitor
BingoBoingo: You could ask for a portion of
the monkey?
decimation: I went
to a ebay 'junk dealer' once.
The owner knew his electronics, but he employed a bunch of monkeys
to pack, ship, and do clerical work
decimation: maybe for you,
today,
they sell for $1.4k
ben_vulpes: "Currently, digital currencies lack
the basic protections consumers have come
to expect when
transacting online. For example, contrary
to a consumer's experience when paying wit a MasterCard product, if a consumer uses digital currency
to make a purchase on line and
the merchant fails
to deliver
the goods,
the consumer has no recourse
through
the digital currency's network." << oh lordy
decimation: xinxiwang: I've always wanted
to ask a singaporean what he
thought about politics in
the us compared
to politics in sg
decimation: np. I
take it
that you hail from singapore?

decimation: although it appears
that
there are other
taxes depending on which region one resides
decimation: no,
the 28% only applies
to
the first $16k of income
undata: so it seems "half" is
the usual amount of
taxation wherever you are
undata: decimation: woah, 28% on
the lowest
tier of UST?
decimation: yeah, plus
that highly regressive 'social security'
tax
undata: decimation: 13%,
the communists!
decimation: re: regressive
tax < pete_dushenski made me aware
that Russia actually has a regressive
tax, probably for
the same reason you
think it is a good idea -
the rich are more likely
to pay
decimation: maybe
they hacked
those chinese flash cards with onboard microcontrollers for write leveling/usb
to compute
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu:
training wheels on a function wave?
mircea_popescu: amorous answer
than you were looking for but we actually are putting
the finishing
touches on one of our biggest data centres yet in
the next couple of weeks, I actually spoke
to someone a few days ago who saw it and he's never seen
that many miners and flash computers in one place."
