mircea_popescu: Adlai im pretty sure you can view bitbet in emacs if it comes to it.
mircea_popescu: then derps derp about 50mn lines of code. seriously, bitch ? that's your caching ?
mircea_popescu: but just as an indication of the problem : w3 total cache, version 8.5 ? 250kb. w3 total cache, version 9.2 ? 1,8 mb
mircea_popescu: it's also a glimpse into bitcoin's future, if usgavin and the power retard crowd have their way
mircea_popescu: the way wp codebase works is indicative of what naggum described, the problem of maggots wanting the status of coder and so writing code for the sake of being coders.
mircea_popescu: they made in the interval about 10 different claims to "having fixed it"
mircea_popescu: the bug affects the codebase all the way through, to the first introducton of xlmrpc back in 2004 or w/e
mircea_popescu: total bs, they never fixed it
BingoBoingo: Reading up on this the fixed a similar problem with trackbacks back in 2.8, I don't know why it would be their position to make a sharp edge like this the default when the push themselve to people looking for feather cushions.
mircea_popescu: i don't think qntra is designed to anything, just yet
mircea_popescu: Adlai it's pretty much designed to work fine in lynx
Adlai: mircea_popescu: something bad happened to my graphics server so i'm stuck communicating with the world in text
mircea_popescu: i have a good mind to ddos wordpress with it tbh.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: That's the fucktard's case for not fixing obvious hole?
mircea_popescu: Adlai what's that ?
mircea_popescu: mullenweg is a total fucktard.
mircea_popescu: “This tradeoff in pingback’s design has been there for a decade now,” he said via email. “It’s seldom used outside of experimentation because it gets shut down by anti-spam providers like Akismet or web hosts when used at any scale, and there are cheaper, easier, and more effective ways to DDOS sites. That’s why no serious attacks (above 2gbps) use it.”
mircea_popescu: Disappointingly, Matt brushed it off thus:
BingoBoingo: devthedev: I am pretty sure they do.
devthedev: BingoBoingo: Are articles written by yourself of cazalla calculated into the "wordcount of qualified articles published"?
Adlai: surprisingly painless to do that once you get familiar with tmux
kakobrekla: thats the beauty of it.
TheNewDeal: can't tell if you two are joking or are serious?

mircea_popescu: hey kakobrekla http://bitbet.us/bet/1054/bitcoin-to-drop-under-260-before-november/#c4132 << check out all the pentesting
BingoBoingo: Also, small navigation improvement on Qntra, there are now geography categories attached to relevant posts. The Categories are the continents + Russia. Might make browsing for certain kinds of stories easier for people.
kakobrekla: BingoBoingo maybe add a word about that?
kakobrekla: what do they do?
mats_cd03: they live in a different world than we do.
thestringpuller: i thought bitcoin businesses shouldn't hold profit in fiat.
mats_cd03: what would you propose they do? continue operating at a fiat loss indefinitely?
thestringpuller: volatility shouldn't be an issue if your liquidity pool is deep enough. does this mean they aren't operating with enough supply?
mats_cd03: "Until the next time there's serious volatility."
ThickAsThieves: "Just wanted to let you know you should no longer have any issues with instant transactions through your Circle account. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and support."

kakobrekla: yes lisp. i recently started learning the thing thanks (or not?) to our resident mad scientist asciilifeform.
kakobrekla: i understood this pretty quickly so i never got employed. ☟︎
jurov: um.. afaik usually people work because they won't have the discipline otherwise
Adlai: now he gets up in the morning every day to work because he does not rack dishiprin
Adlai: his parents gave him food, shelter, and access to the crappiest indoctrination taxes can subsidize
Adlai: field trip lunch money, movies on weekends, etc
Adlai: flatmate had to work for spending money his entire life
jurov: lol Adlai if parents threw you at 18 onto the street
Adlai: why is what i said false though? you don't know me!
jurov: despite that, i started working during studies
jurov: <Adlai> and yes, it's fair to say that i was "mistreated" by never having to work for money until i stopped accepting my parents' charity << this is patently false
Adlai manages to load qntra.net after a while of waiting
cazalla: well, i had an article to post but this fuck continues to dos the site so i guess i'll get some sleep
cazalla: http://i.imgur.com/izBVjBh.png for reference, looks like that same dude who did pingback spam to trilema, at least i'm guessing
cazalla: its getting the fuck pingbacked out of it
RagnarDanneskjol: now the whole world's watching
RagnarDanneskjol: oh no - too much attention

Adlai: how fresh is fresh? only heard this one last week: http://www.admin.ch/aktuell/00089/index.html?lang=en&msg-id=53513
wyrdmantis: but i think no fresh news
fluffypony: which country? South Africa doesn't seem to give a crap.
wyrdmantis: yeah Adlai, i'm referring to the lawyer's trying to put out a legal framework, and such nonsense, for the sake of knowing :)
Adlai: last i checked the network is properly regulating mining fees and preventing double spends, so i'd say it's going well!
wyrdmantis: any fresh news on the "bitcoin regulation" front?
xanthyos: it's the go-to solution
xanthyos: they threaten to kill me, i've had automatic weapons pulled angrily
xanthyos: like they've gotten so worked up they forgot the nature of the internet.
xanthyos: it's amazing how often i get threatened by someone caught speechless in the onslaught of my verbal abuse with a gun.
xanthyos: oh wow davidlatapie at first glance i thought you might be davidldubuc
Adlai: (when phrased this way it does make me consider that conspiracy a lot less likely)
Adlai: any o yall believe trustless currency via proof of work was invented as a tool for tracking rather than liberation?

assbot: The Six Pillars For Surviving in Computer Times | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski
assbot: O hai let me wanna-be! pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: <string>Pingback from http://trilema.com/o-hai-let-me-wanna-be.php?id=www.contravex.com/2014/10/11/the-six-pillars-for-surviving-in-computer-times/ to http://www.contravex.com/2014/10/11/the-six-pillars-for-surviving-in-computer-times/ registered. Keep the web talking! :-)</string>
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell pete_dushenski your latest.
Adlai: try writing the shortest possible quine in ansi cl. if you want to check the answer, it was just in #lisp and there are public logs, but try yourself before you check.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you too.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski sent you a pingback. fix the hole will you.
pete_dushenski: unfortunately the switch over meant some updates (spit) and whatnot
pete_dushenski: o and contravex's footnotes now have the proper indentation so you can now see all the roman numerals :)
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: i had actually read that qntra "pending announcement" bit in the logs, though meanwhile forgotten. in my defense, you never mentioned much in the way of terms or wtf you were even alluding to :D
pete_dushenski: the upside is now i have an avatar for commenting on other blogs and that contravex has a snazzy new recent comments sidebar.
pete_dushenski: oh and my apologies for the penguirker spam earlier. i was changing hosting plans and had to rejigger the whole meal deal.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: where is that quote from? "Fuck yes we can...."
assbot: EITC Home Page--Its easier than ever to find out if you qualify for EITC
pete_dushenski: though the only other effort that comes to mind is that of ltb (andreas' first home) with their broke back counterparty baloney. so not much comp but...
decimation: for poor people in the us, taxes pay you
mircea_popescu: decimation the thing is they work on a per dollar basis. if there's nothing to steal they can't afford to prosecute you.
pete_dushenski: the mpex-qntra relationship is quite the crafty little construction. puts other efforts to shame.
gribble: You rated user cazalla on Fri Oct 10 19:05:29 2014, with a rating of 2, and supplied these additional notes: qntra.net chief editor..
decimation: mircea_popescu: yeah if you have a semi-competent tax lawyer you can probably avoid jail, just pay the fine
mircea_popescu: most poor people get that added benefit, thatthey can just forego the irs altogether
cazalla: pete_dushenski, ty
mircea_popescu: decimation not so. usually it takes about 10 years
