mircea_popescu: same as i do everywhere.
mircea_popescu: which is why as carlin/carson/stern etc are going out of old age, there's nobody to replace them. you get stuck with cancerous filth a la that oliver douche.
mircea_popescu: decimation: this is a rarity in usg, where someone says "I am responsible" and they are fired << the way i understand it, the us works by firing. so originally people were disincentivised from taking responsibility, in the hopes of avoiding it. as it didn't work... you'll be seeing more and more of that behaviour.
fluffypony: overview of ring signatures as they're implmeneted in Monero
Vexual: might as well if your selling opinion
decimation: so you plan on using it as a 'robot hand'
asciilifeform: precisely, as someone mentioned earlier, railroads
asciilifeform: Vexual: been in factories << as a boy
decimation: as in, minimum pad sie
decimation: I wonder if there is a subtle 'puff' effect from flex tube as the vaccuum is released and the tube rebounds
asciilifeform: not nearly as shiny.
asciilifeform: the luer fits needle, just as it was sold for.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> TheNewDeal: harder than Al, not as tricky to machine as stainless steel << To be fair machining Aluminium is plenty tricky on its own
Vexual: drawing one would take as long as making one
asciilifeform: TheNewDeal: harder than Al, not as tricky to machine as stainless steel
BingoBoingo: decimation: You see this is how Feds avoid accountability. By making distinctions impossible, as in this example fired versus quit.
BingoBoingo: <decimation> does whisky deplete the same metabolic pathways? << Not the pathways so much as conjugants. Gluconiduration and second phase is a thing.
decimation: http://www.newrepublic.com/article/119321/harvard-ivy-league-should-judge-students-standardized-tests << "But all of these hypotheses have been empirically refuted. We have already seen that test scores, as far up the upper tail as you can go, predict a vast range of intellectual, practical, and artistic accomplishments. "
BingoBoingo: Basically the way antibacterial drugs work is the good ones are bacteriostatic (prevent reproduction: Bactrim, tetracycline) as opposed to being bacteriacidal (Outright murder bacteria: Beta-Lactams)
BingoBoingo: decimation: Amphoterrible B is a thing. Pretty much the null set of fungi aren't responsive to it, but... Pretty damaging to mammal cells as well.
BingoBoingo: At this point though I may be doomed to carve out a Bitcoin Lordship in the Middle West seeing as I can't imagine Mexico or that Cartels wanting to keep the border open
BingoBoingo: Top Comment: "They diagnosed him as having a viral infection and gave him antibiotics (which only work on bacteria). Jesus."
BingoBoingo: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/10/computercop-the-dubious-internet-safety-software-given-to-families-nationwide/ << The Reddit police will never be as bad as actual police

pentestr: buffer overflow through a dangling pointer as well as possible sqli
bounce: something ITish. programming, sysadmin, netadmin, you name it. as long as it involves a unix and not windows. (Oh yes, the "not enough unix on the CV" girl, when half a dozen flavours listed. sheesh.)
bounce: yes, well, not quite the same as being on the phone to some guy, getting fobbed off because you called them and they didn't call you. (literally, yes)
BingoBoingo: CheckDavid: At the moment I'm working on getting as extended as I can.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Nah, you hire the cocksuckers as Deans
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo maybe i'm way off the mark here, but if you ran a university wouldn't you hire your own cocksucker as a librarian ?
CheckDavid: punkman: oh really? Is the btc community so big that it is already seen as a bunch of maniacs looks for a quick profit or something?
BingoBoingo: Oh I thought Deedbot was using bundle hashes as pub keys and letting privates remain a mystery
mircea_popescu: nubbins` your idea is broken because if the site will hash $rand it could as well print the "verification" for it.
nubbins`: if i'm doing the work of verifying, i might as well just publish my own fucking deed, no?
nubbins`: as it is right now, i register a deed, some bot sends a few satoshis to an address, and i just sort of hope that this isn't just a random tx
mircea_popescu: nubbins` well this point was still being worked upon. the spec calls for the hash to be used as the privkey for the destination of the tx.
Dimsler: sure, but using penecillin to interject as a form of medicine is also a disruption
thickasthieves: and other than to use the abstract concept of man's iatrogenic effect as a juxtaposition, that's just false
thickasthieves: also i see decentralization as a phenomenon or design choice for a system
thickasthieves: what's the deal with usg only making current-year tax form PDFs available as "drafts"

RagnarDanneskjol: as for immediate publishing - I am all in favor of immediacy. believe the idea was bundling multiple deeds over an hour into a single tx was more efficient, etc
jurov: RagnarDanneskjol: i suggest immediate publishing of deeds as paid service
jurov: as in something i can follow
RagnarDanneskjol: usable as in?
mircea_popescu: how is a pair going to be able to blackmailk anyone ? there's no such thing as "group rape" as in, you've raped a group of two people.
mircea_popescu: the chinese are about as european as teh jooz.
nubbins` imagines early adopter cashing out all datacoin, uploading massive file to blockchain as final act
nubbins`: i think you're dreaming too hard as it is
nubbins`: not as hilarious as reading the logs
mircea_popescu: maybe the context ain't as virtuous as you think her.
RagnarDanneskjol: yea - thats a good one. carlin is right as usual
mircea_popescu: cazalla: it was good for seeing if dns refreshed elsewhere as i've been waiting ages on my own connection <<< i love browsershots for this purpose.
mircea_popescu: bounce:tablets aren't that mobile. but it certainly goes big on stupidity. it's trying to reinvent the web as some sort of "interactive broadcast", ie mainly one-way "interaction". the warm fuzzy feeling of teh intarwebz without them actually listening to you. not that you'd have anything to say, or that they'd listen in any case, but, you know. << EXACTLY fucking that omfg. exactly.
RagnarDanneskjol: I need to have a convo with you - re target bitcoin address as of the hash of the documents, not wasting coins, etc
chetty: <RagnarDanneskjol> ..contaminated - as in pathogens//read somewhere that virtually every 20 has cocaine traces
RagnarDanneskjol: ..contaminated - as in pathogens
cazalla: it was good for seeing if dns refreshed elsewhere as i've been waiting ages on my own connection
punkman: I like AMC's Hell on Wheels, not as good as BB of course
BingoBoingo: Duffer1: As long as you remember Brian Cranston set every writer's expectations for TV unreasonably high it is hard to be disappoint as a viewer
bounce: tablets aren't that mobile. but it certainly goes big on stupidity. it's trying to reinvent the web as some sort of "interactive broadcast", ie mainly one-way "interaction". the warm fuzzy feeling of teh intarwebz without them actually listening to you. not that you'd have anything to say, or that they'd listen in any case, but, you know.
Duffer1: i would have loved to see the batman flashpoint alternative history as a series
BingoBoingo: As far after two episodes the thing isn't non-sensical
mircea_popescu: <cazalla> i think i would pasteurise the milk if i ever attempted milking them though <<< as there's not that much human history of drinking rabbit milk, likely it's safe.
cazalla: <+BingoBoingo> cazalla: How does QontraCoin sound as a name? <<< as discussed, qntra as domain name, anyone have input?
mircea_popescu: "Greetings from Bitgazetteer.com, We are very happy to announce that your store/business has been posted on our bitgazetteer.com website because you integrated Bitcoins/Crypto-Currency as a legitimate payment method."
BingoBoingo: Pic of the little browner as the favicon.

assbot: Clinton Aide Watches Stall As Reporter Pees | The Daily Caller
asciilifeform: http://dailycaller.com/2014/09/24/clinton-aide-watches-stall-as-reporter-relieves-herself << linked from above
decimation: http://dailycaller.com/2014/09/30/top-va-official-conspired-with-her-married-boyfriend-to-thwart-investigations/ << "A 2008 performance review, according to the investigation, stated that “her accomplishments were undermined by her poor judgment and lack of accountability. … Ms. Taylor allowed a personal friend to be hired in her department as a contractor [Mr. Dobrzykowski]; ... This, of course, is all good enough for
decimation: re: bankruptcy << usg is bankrupt (as discussed yesterday). the natural law of bankruptcy demands that the bankrupt lose control of their assets to the creditors
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Bankruptcy is a powerful tool as Mr. Trump can attest.
mircea_popescu: about the same as remains of the "comics code"
mircea_popescu: myeah. as if you know ?
asciilifeform: most of the purchases were taxidermically hollowed out (assuming they even had meat) and used as bare named
BingoBoingo: cazalla: As I understand web publishing though... One of the most important parts is having content before going on srs promotion binges
BingoBoingo: cazalla: Doesn't really get simpler. And as you get ideas about the look, you build from it.
cazalla: from that digital cc annual report - On 28 February 2014, Mt Gox, the online Bitcoin trading exchange filed for bankruptcy protection in Japan. At the time Mt Gox filed for bankruptcy, Digital CC Trading Pty Ltd (wholly owned subsidiary of the Group) held approximately $233,435 of bitcoins with Mt Gox. It is uncertain as to whether Digital CC Trading Pty Ltd will recover those bitcoins
nubbins`: man i'm reading this article about cohen now and the asshole who wrote it seriously just referred to federico lorca as "gabriel garcia lorca"
asciilifeform: mats_cd03: depends on hypothetical destination. but, overall, just picture a figure large enough to 'become taleb' and live as 'gentleman scholar' in total disconnect from economic reality around you. ☟︎
asciilifeform: hanbot: it isn't really a 'profession structure' in my case. yes, for some people, 'i'm a lawyer and without that i'm nothing, where's my pistol' etc. these folks dropped like flies in '90s russia, say. but i'm more of - 'if i can move across the sea, but have to work as shoemaker in a cellar for 12h day, instead of 'turning the right screw' here in usa, why do i need to buy plane ticket? i can do the shoemaker th
hanbot: asciilifeform> unfortunately the only pill against the problem is: suitcase, airplane, new (non-usaschwitz) passport << which is why using app as palliative is particularly heinous (or particularly attractive depending on user sanity)
mircea_popescu: you could say that before angie duff of derpytown, montana thought to dress in a sheet for her school play role as a roman matron
mircea_popescu: bounce nah, democrats never lose an election again, for as long as the pretense of a usa is maintained hence.
chetty: accounting, also know as legerdemain
bounce: so the question is more of a "can we put some numbers on this?", of about the same accuracy as typical economic numbers like GDP
mircea_popescu: bounce to rehash a limb of the previous discussion, you maybe heard that the best way to sink a good start-up is a bad revenue source early on. same thing with your thief : the opportunity cost of being a criminal is major in that you don't feel as much pressure to develop more useful traits.
mircea_popescu: but this is conventional and as such brings into question convention altgoether, as a device.
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves or just as well could not
mircea_popescu: exactly, an abundance in practice does not speak as to how the behaviour is expensive.
mircea_popescu: aand where's malice going to be found as an art for its own sake ?
bounce: there's plenty routers that do mostly the right thing but then subtly the wrong thing in some cases, and the costs doesn't show up as prohibitive
mircea_popescu: at a damage of 14.4k, as per the most recent data.
mircea_popescu: but the intricacies of calling wrongthing() in such a way as to not break the entire fucking stack are staggering.
mircea_popescu: but as a great man once said, "it is forbidden to teach nonsense. but the study of nonsense, that's scholarship"
MolokoDesk: economics as a persuasive force is intriguing. the way the statistical distribution of ideology follows various market forces.
mircea_popescu: MolokoDesk as to your what happens : he becomes a stakeholder. there's a nice little fable re the nsa stash in the logs relating to this.
