mircea_popescu: and yet argentina has the world's widest street.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform important. the notion that all the lemmings drive... meh. not really so great.
asciilifeform: or, so it was when these roads were built.
mircea_popescu: scandalous, this. but they are standard in new england
asciilifeform: other thing to remember is that sidewalks are not standard in usa.
mircea_popescu: "According to the forensic report, the vehicle never exceeded an AVERAGE speed of 34 Kph." << gotta love these forensic reports. the never exceeded average ? lol
mircea_popescu: except one time i nearly clobbered this purely retarded, english speaking middle aged woman.
mircea_popescu: anyway, bikers in romania pissed me the fuck off. bikers here are actually pleasant,
asciilifeform: drivers also struggle to escape from the 'funeral' lane, hastily swap lanes to the left, and often collide
gernika: I once ran over a bicyclist. She then got a ticket.
mircea_popescu: it's what i tell my drivers, anyway.
mircea_popescu: just run them over.
asciilifeform: important detail when you're in this type of 'funeral parade' every other day.
asciilifeform: elementary missing piece here - in many places in usa, a bicyclist is permitted to occupy a full lane. this slows traffic in the entire road to a crawl, very often, because now everyone is stuck in first gear.
xiando: thickasthieves: wp_users table ID 1
mircea_popescu: so there you go. otherwise, the "animosity" is properly resolved with bikers paying the fuck attention and being humble and apologetic all the time to everyone.
mircea_popescu: but the ruminants are really good at bleeting, and in the us currently that temporarily means something.,
mircea_popescu: bounce easy to explain : all preditors have an innate hatred of fast moving, light items ; preditors are better suited than rumminants for life on earth. as a result, people on bikes are in a position ot annyo people in cars, and people in cars are in a position to give them what for.

bounce doesn't really understand the animosity between bikes and cars, though. seems to be a north american thing.
bounce: no execution squads for road users, thanks.
thickasthieves: i do, though only a lil experience
xiando: change it in the db if you have access to it
thickasthieves: i figured out the email, it's a dead one :/
mircea_popescu: so change it in the mysql.
thickasthieves: ah shit, it's an email box that doesnt ecist
mircea_popescu: should be a little link on the page.
thickasthieves: if you forget the email addy for an admin in Wordpress, how to password reset?
mircea_popescu: fucking execution squad for bikers, i tell you that right off.
assbot: The Legion of Decency: Sometimes The Dragon Wins
asciilifeform: i think i posted that here at one point.
mircea_popescu: ever saw this one http://libertymaven.com/wp-content/uploads/bird_swallowing_choking_frog.png ?
mircea_popescu: xiando not really that simple, but anyway.
asciilifeform: any idiot can scrape together a few pennies and get on an airplane.
asciilifeform: thickasthieves: i think i explained on, possibly 10+ occasions, the hard part is not the airplane (i even bought one of those arse-search passes we spoke of.)
thickasthieves: well you can train wherever you want, but you gotta make stops
asciilifeform: thickasthieves: why would slave take the railroad to a slave territory?
thickasthieves: underground railroad your way to me, i have an empty house atm ;)
asciilifeform: thickasthieves: for btc from US << i expect to be gassed at some point (or to escape, but that's a pipe dream currently.)
xiando: It is like property rights locally, you are supposed to have them but you don't anymore
xiando: mircea_popescu, if US laws apply in practice if you serve US citizens or not is basically a question of where you are, really. If you are in this country and the US tells the regime they want you then you're just picked up and put on a plane and maby, if you are very lucky, someone in the regime will bother to ask why they want you
thickasthieves: just a thought...
thickasthieves: random thought, reading qntra this morning, i pictured 5 years in the future, where it was the craigslist of localized anarchonews
thickasthieves: what happens if you apply this thought to S.nsa, it's safe only to sell encryption devices for btc from US, not to? nope...
mircea_popescu: this is so easier when y'all don't go fucking crazy with the keyboards!
thickasthieves: would they let me run SR from here if i only sold to Russians?
mircea_popescu: the world is not a us subject. the us is a subject in this relationship. an incredibly cheeky one, to boot.
mircea_popescu: they want the border open ? lube up and moan with the music.
mircea_popescu: they don't like it, close the borders.
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves no such thing.
mircea_popescu: you don't likle us citizens betting on bitbet, put fucking dildos in their chairs.
thickasthieves: granted, though i realize now the quote is missing a bit of context, I think he was more pointing out that you could operate in the US, outwardly
mircea_popescu: this is like pretending that ranchers must register with one another because the cattle strays on their land and eats their grass.
mircea_popescu: i will NOT register with anyone ever on the guise that they can't keep their cattle in line.
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves: " Whether one is a US-based exchange or not doesn't decide whether one needs to register. The question is whether a company has clients in the US or not. If so, they are subject to regulations of that jurisdiction." << utter bullshit.
undata: what openssl version is the 0.5.3 fork being built against?
assbot: Guide To Setting Up A Remote Bitcoin Node For $20 Per Year | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski
thickasthieves: it's the script pankkake made to run a node
thickasthieves: “The scenario of deflation is not there, because indeed we don’t consider that deflation is going to happen,” said the ECB’s vice-president, Vitor Constancio, ECB
thickasthieves: mad at the world
mircea_popescu: what the shit even.
mircea_popescu: "i can't convince you people that 3 = 4 it's like talking to a wall you're a cult wah wah"
mircea_popescu: "It’s like talking to a wall. There’s no use arguing with a cult."
assbot: Logged on 30-10-2014 13:20:00; thickasthieves: pankkake says hello: "That’s not an “update”, please avoid associating your nonsense with my script. Your “solution” provides no easy maintenance and comes with greater hardware requirements (as with anything pre-0.8), but I suppose you guys are pretty much clueless on this. Also conveniently forgetting that 0.9 introduced the possibility of disabling the wallet functionality
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-10-2014#903160 << what script is this about ?
adlai: but at some point i'd like to algorithmically snarf this data, and i wonder occasionally how exactly to correlate between all these feeds
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: it's like having a part-time job where you get paid to not show up <<< you're like one step away from being a mobster don. which is what that job is.
thickasthieves: adlai, most of the swaps are taken up by swap dealers, and more likely, bfx itself
adlai: xanthyos: another scenario: i place a margin bid. you market sell. usd swaps go up, but the market has dropped. does this show up in an eyeballing of the charts?
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> why are we polishing turd again...? << only way there is.
adlai: xiando: btc swaps go into short selling btcusd, but also margin longing ltcbtc, th1btc. some also get reserved and not used immediately
thickasthieves: lol ur like the annoying kid that always wins
mircea_popescu: punkman: so pack of tobacco from corner store, 4-5eur from 17gr, bag of tobacco from guy I know, 20eur for 1kg. << srsly, you're too useful to be smoking by the kg.
mircea_popescu: <thickasthieves> oldest trade org <<< check it out, they're aware bitcoin foundation is going to destroy bitcoin scamfoundation.
mircea_popescu: we're here in the process of reimplementing the world because we don't trust one set of turdmeisters, you expect code will be reused from an even derpier set ?
thickasthieves: oldest trade org
thickasthieves: "Matonis has served as the head of the bitcoin industry's oldest trade organisation since July 2013"
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves i wouldn't touch it anyway.
mircea_popescu: punkman: yeah I love that I'm running "develop" versions for all major pieces (supybot, electrum) <<< real manhood.
thickasthieves: was onlybringing it up in case their stuff can be repurposed to save time
mircea_popescu: in the sense that braindamaged implementations of nothing in particular are similar to actually useful implementations on the same basis, then yes, all c code reminds one of all c code and deeds of colored coins
thickasthieves: it essentially lets you attach a "hash" to a token and tx, which is just a hyperlink to stored data elsewhere i think
thickasthieves: does it already serve the purpose?
thickasthieves: why does this whole deeds, b-a form, sending 1btc to urself, hash, thing make me think about colored coins?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's at least two holes still extant to this day, i thought i said at some point
asciilifeform: why are we polishing turd again...?
xiando: adlai: I actually do not get what you mean or why you are wondering if there is a colleration, if you short sell 1000 BTC then you borrow 1000 BTC so obviously swaps increase when the sell happens.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: care to share even this patch?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ever plugged the leak in your secret magic turd?
punkman: gernika, this should explain a lot http://dpaste.com/05YF5VH
assbot: Logged on 11-08-2014 00:24:04; mircea_popescu: Jason the idea is to expand current bitcoin-assets functionality with a register of deeds.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-08-2014#789340 latter reprise. and there's a pastebin with the actual spec too. ☝︎
gernika: mircea_popescu great thanks
assbot: Logged on 14-06-2014 11:59:24; mircea_popescu: so based on mike_c's discussion last night, i think i have a very good addition to b-a kako. it'd go like this :
mircea_popescu: gernika http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-06-2014#718931 starts there. ☝︎
adlai: xiando: eyeballing correlations is nice, but it's just eyeballing... then again, this is just my kneejerk distrust of eyeballs rather than any concrete reason to suspect there's a problem with this approach
xiando: most swap taken is either used directly or within hours
asciilifeform: does phoundation's latest turd leak?
xiando: adlai: You see it clearly on bfxdata, like 2 hours ago there was a 1600 BTC trade where you clearly see both USD and BTC margin take spikes
mircea_popescu: gernika it's in the logs, yeah.
