jurov: whereas pentile is RGBY where RG and BY are mapped
to
two pixels
thickasthieves: ;;later
tell asciilifeform New imac - 27-inch display. 5210 x 2880 pixels. - no word on bits yet
gribble: smickles was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 18 weeks, 2 days, 14 hours, 20 minutes, and 54 seconds ago: <smickles> easily a few more bil in
things like BPOs and BPCs
mircea_popescu: bounce: it's better
than
to not use it, <<<
this is perhaps
the longest endless discussion i don't feel like having. is it better
to have loved a whore or
to not have gotten
the pox at all ?! etc.
kakobrekla: for
the purpose of keeping chumps happy.
thickasthieves: its also why i pressed you about
the article you wrote
mircea_popescu: which is what
the entire cause vs purpose discussion is all about.
mircea_popescu: i dun really see
the value
to
the entire sensitivity.h include.
mircea_popescu: but as far as any sane measure can be had,
this is
the only open bitcoin space
thickasthieves: i dont
think it;s something
to be defensive about so much as internally sensitive
to
mircea_popescu: this has resulted in some bruised wot accounts, danielpbarron being perhaps
the best example
mircea_popescu: anyway, re cultishness
thickasthieves :
the one datapoint i have so far is
that b-a broke
the cultish misinterpretation of how
to use wot/ratings prevalent prior
to its existence.
mircea_popescu: but in communist romania
things worked better, apparently.
mircea_popescu: i dun recall
the last
time someone was required
to believe something
they didn't lol.
thickasthieves: i'm speaking for him, with no good reason, but my guess is he sees
the extremism
turning
to cultism,
turning
to delusion

tell
TheNewDeal <TheNewDeal> any response on
that foia yet? /// since youve been singling me out, I wanna clear up
that, while I did email
them an inquiry long ago, I did not personally submit a FOIA request. I simply know of a couple netizens
that did. You can expect news
to spread fast once(if) it happens.

ThickAsThieves: "Just a USMS auction price discovery update: I contacted
the USDOJ Office of General Counsel regarding my FOIA request submitted back on
the 6th of July... and
they stated I should see information in early August.
They also stated
they had a flood of requests for information on
that auction."
jurov: qntra.net resolves
to localhost now?
mircea_popescu: 191.235.134.39 "POST /wp-comments-post.php << stuff like
this
mircea_popescu: (the wp-comment lines are in
there legitimately, btw.
the way
trilema works is
that if an ip has a previous comment spamlisted, further connections are rejected outright. so
these are all spammers, and can be used as such)
mircea_popescu: there may still be some straggler legitimate users caught in a 404
through no fault of
their own, but mostly it's bots
trying
to be all haxxor
rithm: make
them die a horrible death and go away
Adlai: rithm:
they're Altcoin prices, in whole numbers of satoshi
rithm: none of
those number make any sense
to me
nubbins`: <+Adlai> right, but we're still
trusting an IRC bot. what if somebody derps freenode after you've authenticated with gribble? <<
then you're fucked
rithm: what
the fuck is ATC
rithm: i usually do -N
to get
the lines around it myself
Adlai: it'd be nice if search.bitcoin-assets.com had equivalents
to grep's -[ABC]
RagnarDanneskjol: xinxi - no offense
taken - but NICE JOB workin in one more plug for
the site.. you''re a pro
Adlai isn't sure what keywords
to search for,
to find a conversation he's never seen before
xinxi: anyway, I won’t
talk about my site here anymore.
Adlai: right, but we're still
trusting an IRC bot. what if somebody derps freenode after you've authenticated with gribble?
thestringpuller: in
theory
there could be another point of entry without sacrificing security because gribble auths via gpg
thestringpuller: hmmm i never
thought of
that. can you submit a rating without gribble...
bounce: yes, and its operator, but it's a lot more convenient
than gepoking
the keyservers every
time
mircea_popescu: Adlai well other
than
the regular pgp being incredibly broken in so many ways,
Adlai: possibly stupid question about WoT... doesn't it rely on everybody
trusting gribble? what does it offer over
the regular PGP
trust model?
xinxi: i am quite surprised and felt quite sorry
that I offended so many people.
thestringpuller: what if
the SEC lawyer did get GPG? would you actually
talk
to
them?
mircea_popescu: sorta like i'm going "oh, you're just
the sec lawyer ? get a gpg we'll
talk"
mircea_popescu: nubbins` it means
the idiocy derps who refuse
to submit but like
to pretend
they're part of bitcoin hide behind.
nubbins`: guy in
the middle has best hat
mircea_popescu: somebody send him
the gpg contracts article, and perhaps read it
to him
too.
Adlai: i
think
they went
to summer camp
together
Adlai: "very large value
transactions are
typically secured by real-world contracts, long-established
trust relationships, lawyers, and court systems." - chief scientist of
the
trustless money foundation
nubbins`: more
than once, he allowed men
to bring
their wives into
the exam room so
they could read out
the questions
Adlai: it
took around half a minute
to realize
that no, she hadn't forgotten glasses at home, it wasn't a language issue. she just couldn't read.
nubbins`: Adlai my old man used
to supervise seafarer/mariner exams
Adlai had
to help a shopper in
the supermarket find
the right kind of rice a few weeks ago, realized it was
the first
time in his life he'd met a
truly illiterate person
Adlai: coding is
the new literacy
bounce: you'd be
that even if you could code, for larger projects. it's just easier
to see when you're being led down
the garden path.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu
this is
the
true detriment of not being able
to code
TomServo: heh - I wonder what kind of numbers
they're
talking about in
those accounts.
bounce: "bitstamp announces unverified customer fund giveaway
to government"
