mircea_popescu: mats i suspect you don't understand how anglo agitprop works.
mats: asciilifeform: i don't see how any of it is workable tbh
phf: i don't grok the business strategy of "here's the project i'm working on, it lost x btc so far". cardano had a deliverable, that could be sold, everything else seems to be "tmsr marketing"
phf: why don't i lose my shit like kako?
phf: well, unfortunately i don't have S.LOG to make monthly excuses to shareholders in. log upkeep is like the janitorial work of tmsr, doesn't even come with a promise of future millions
mircea_popescu: possibly one of the more depressing activities available in contemporaneity is checking out the portofolio of one of those "artist" photographers that in practice survives out of taking wedding pictures. i don't mean the friend-of-the-bride etsy idiot that DOESN'T survive. i mean the dude who keeps a steady stream of work enough to feed a family, provided that family somehow decided to do on half the income of a plumber becau
mircea_popescu: why don't they showcase that then i wonder.
mircea_popescu: what IS a very bad analogy however, that i let pass though i shouldn't have, is the fucking iron pill. you don't know this, because insufficient exposure ; but i run a farm of women my whole life and let me tell you that a) pernicious anemia is still a fucking thing. unlike syphilis that isn't since antibiotics, pa is, iron pill or no ; b) iron pill doesn't work worth a shit. every fucking time i'd try every glycosulcinate, f
mircea_popescu: then i don't think much of your biological model of rationality, either.
thestringpuller: i don't see that being a problem for regulating eulora coppers
thestringpuller: re: shinohai I don't think many bitcoin games exist other than eulora and dragon's tale. i don't see why more secondlife-like game companies don't get on board. since USG killed second life by regulating linden dollars.
mircea_popescu: it's still unclear what exactly you imagine to achieve through this "i don't expect to live to see a thing" device either.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-04 05:40 phf: i don't know the details of ken sievers, some lesser part of systemd's master wrecking plan, involving firmware devices. probably behavior is somehow mandatory in NSA injection sequence. or else guy is just another righteous prick
mircea_popescu: note that i'm the one explaining "life on the sea" is idiotic, you don't get to hijack that argument. fact remains that IF you're willing to bite the live-on-sea bullet, tanker by far best deal.

_FeltPen: what are you talking about shinohai? i don't have a 21co - i tend to root for folks that make things for this ecosystem.
_FeltPen: i'm trying to figure out what shinohai is randomly tweeting at me and making up shit about VC relationships that don't exist. a little confused atm.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-03 03:05 fabio__: There has been quite a bit of noise about ECC NIST curves (nistp256, nistp384, nistp521) being tampered with by the NSA. I thought using ECC was all good if you don't use the NIST curves and instead use community approved curves like Curve25519 and Curve1174 by like DJB and friends, or other approved ones at https://safecurves.cr.yp.to/.
asciilifeform: i wrote 'don't blame the mice' in it.
mircea_popescu: anywya, i don't dispute that "accidentally"-deliberately nobody put any effort into rng quality assurance ; key quality assurance ; etc.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform honestly i don't comprehend why you entertain the tards above and beyond "honey, close your eyes and think of the empire", but each his own i guess.
diana_coman: <mircea_popescu> really, byzantine fiction (currently known as the vulgate) is much better. but i don't think much more of the people who regard the bible as "great writing" than of the tolkien fans. <- fans, lol; out of curiosity: an example as to "much better"?
mircea_popescu: really, byzantine fiction (currently known as the vulgate) is much better. but i don't think much more of the people who regard the bible as "great writing" than of the tolkien fans.
diana_coman: I find it actually quite interesting that it's perceived as saying "britain the isolated , small, insignifiant by now island actually matters/is mighty/hero/whatevs" when I read it quite the opposite: as long as they are happy in their own world, they don't matter/contribute nothing/and if they are not interested in the world, the world at some point will be interested in them - and with a big stick at that
mircea_popescu: hanbot why would you place ~it in the actual work~ when it's a response to a meta-discussion you started with " i don't think tolkien had much mastery of economy of words" ?
hanbot: sure. and no, i don't think tolkien had much mastery of economy of words (somehow this'd seem to make him less a copywriter? or maybe merely a more monstrous one).
phf: hehe, i don't care about dickens :>
mircea_popescu: i can understand others can be, and have no beef with it. and i don't necessarily even pity the situation, a test's a test.
mircea_popescu: the reason i don't watch "Star wars" or "sex and the city" ; nor bother with "lords of the rings" or "jezebel" is exactly the same reason i don't go around sex stores to sniff used condoms and napkins from the bin in their video booths, like isabelle huppert's character in the piano teacher : i am not quite that hungry.
diana_coman: but how does that make him crud I don't get
mircea_popescu: i even loved him as a kid, and thought it great fiction. just don't seem to summon the interest these days.
phf: i don't think even tolkien fans think of tolkien as a writer, that's why him and his brood get own section at a bookstore
phf: but the message seems to be, don't eat this it's bad for you. BingoBoingo grew up with fat people who don't know how to cook and only eat at mcdonalds. i grew up with moscows girls who all know how to cook, and for them stopping by a mcdonalds for a milkshake was sort of a thing
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, I don't get it
diana_coman: other than that I don't see any link to either immersive universes or Gandalf or Tolkien or whatever else
diana_coman: guess not since I don't see the link
diana_coman: I don't follow where the magical artefact came from; fwiw I fully agree that a book's a mechanism, true; I still can't fully grasp where you say this particular mechanism is broken/not even one ; I'll go through the old threads again, maybe I get it
mircea_popescu: i said THEY DON'T FUCK PROPERLY!
diana_coman: don't know where he is on that, but harry potter is a shit from what I saw and no way to compare it to tolkien
mircea_popescu: yes, this includes tolkien. no, i don't see him as much more than an earlier, therefore craftier, woman what's her name.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: i also don't see mine coming because... not lord atm.
mircea_popescu: "i tested 1001 devices, i don't know what gboard is"

trinque: I don't want heavy metal in my pocket
trinque: I don't care if I spend a couple hundred on something that can be dropped and on which I can actually make a phonecall
thestringpuller: i don't dictate my own actions in the uranium mines
mircea_popescu: epic example of the whole "oh, etherape you say ? i vaguely recall some things which therefore clearly don't matter and also it proves stupidity pays!"
shinohai: Even if I don't like the alt-eth, I still gotta make bank.
shinohai: I bought 2 bottles of muscadine wine this evening. I have almost finished one and I'm flying so hard I don't even need to crack open 2nd.
trinque: +asciilifeform │ ah i forgot that phf's rubbish log is down again << I don't remember anyone in-wot signing any code for whatever shoddy IRC daemon freenode uses.
mod6: i've done this before, I was saying in here, but.. it's been a good while since. Might be worth another gathering. If that's a bit boring or whatever, don't worry, I can tackle this later.
mod6: Previously we were checking this, but I don't know if it was failing properly if there was a bad sig.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-28#1510843 << wotpaste plox, i don't havew that here. ☝︎
trinque: I don't doubt it.
BingoBoingo: covertress: No, I'm implying I don't know who or what you are, but you as sure as hell aren't my soybeans. Hence the rating of 1 denoting limited information beyond this. I have no idea what you mean by KR or your alt-eth.
shinohai: I don't have them
covertress: I don't mind you think of me as a weed. Yes, I'm sure.
thestringpuller: i also don't like putting dollars into miners when I could put them into bitcoins
thestringpuller: i've put some miners in a colo I trust near my house, but i don't see it growing anytime soon due to chip procurement
thestringpuller: i don't know why anyone in their right mine would want to mine
thestringpuller: so I dunno what I don't know.
thestringpuller: I don't recall seeing any nlocktime tx's in the wild
mircea_popescu: i dunno, i don't go around pretending to rap.
mircea_popescu: so next i went by she was all like " don't you want some rabbit ?"
mats: i don't see what poloniex and bitfinex have to gain by including 'ethereum classic' along with 'ethereum'
BingoBoingo: "I get your point, but I'm in central North Carolina where we generally don't have water shortage problems, and I don't really want my side yard to become a swamp and mosquito breeding ground. "
BingoBoingo: I kinda wonder why they don't sew a mesh into themselves and use their Beetus as a fuel cell to charge phone.
phf: i'd be envious, but after all the other argentina reports, i don't trust that experience to be any good
interviewee: well, i'm around and happy to join you gents/ladies if other similar issues crop up, so Shinohai, don't be shy if you want to bend my ear.
mircea_popescu: sure, i don't mean "title to sue" i mean title as in property
interviewee: (caveat- i do US law only, because i don't know any other legal system)

mats: i don't see how this could be workable either
phf: irs claims that he was selling direct, so i don't know how that translates into money at all, it's probably all fixed bid. if he was doing google now and they didn't immediately kick him off the network, etc. he'd probably be pulling more than 5k but of course not "16mil", which is not enough to pay entire gawker staff, but enough to cover his server costs, etc.
phf: or to quote The Guard "street value. you boys always go on about street value. i don't know which street you buying your coke at, because it's not the same street i'm buying my coke at"
ben_vulpes: http://theindependent.sg/smrt-secretly-shipping-35-prc-made-trains-back-to-china-for-repairs/ << i don't even
pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-20#1506866 << i guess i don't subscribe to the theory of server scarcity. at least not any more than the theory of global food scarcity. if server only does one thing for one man, so be it. ☝︎
danielpbarron: and in other channels news >> Clash> I spoof my phone's location to manipulate Pokemon Go. << nifty idea huh? I don't know the game well enough but it sounds like someone could rile up a lot of feathers if they took this concept to the extreme
mircea_popescu: part of the problem is obviously that english is a language spoken by idiots, and it shows. but this isn't a large part and certainly not the largest part - i was doing the same thing in romanian. arguably much worse - people don't realise romanian is ALSO mostly spoken by idiots.
mircea_popescu: trinque anyway, trilema is a foremost example of "i have my set of defintions and you likely don't know what they are ; nor will likely figure it out through a whole article - shit's too fine."
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i don't like posting reddit links as not to infect the channel
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: please don't assume that folks read reddit unprompted. i don't
mircea_popescu: and if you don't, i'm not underwriting the eventual wreck.
mircea_popescu: i don't want any guy at all. even now i <em> by hand rather than clicking the fucking buttons
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-20#1506889 << he wanted a repl that can shit graphics. which is something that to this very day is ~monopoly of a gargantuan closed commercial item, 'mathematica'. except that most 'i want a graphical repl' folks don't know this, and think that their imitations (which are roughly what glbse was to mpex) are the real thing. ☝︎
mats: don't remember if i mentioned this, but a friend of mine that works at cisco says their calea team is expanding the scope of their work beyond what's in the letter of the law
mats: i don't remember the name of the system, but i think there is integration between 'paladin' arty and 'boomerang'
a111: Logged on 2016-07-19 18:55 asciilifeform: mats: and the pigfuckers certainly don't want you and i turning the wifi chip into mesh network etc.
mircea_popescu: looky, if i missed everything i cared for and don't currently have it'd be an endless funeral+wake over here.
phf: Joshua-I: i don't know what "same api" means, in this case. ipython is an enhanced ~repl~, but the code that you write with it constantly changes, because can't just load data set into a python array. need to use numpy, etc.
mats: too many revisions, and i don't think wrt54gl was available then
mats: i don't see the tendril at work here
asciilifeform: mats: and the pigfuckers certainly don't want you and i turning the wifi chip into mesh network etc. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i don't think trying to formulate it is madness ; i do think that the orlov formulation is ridiculous at best.
asciilifeform: is this simply variation on familiar mircea_popescu program 'i am demigod and if somebody has a motivation i don't grasp, they are inconsequential sea slug and stfu' ?
