ThickAsThieves: ;;later tell mike_c - Is seeds.therealaltcoin.org behaving as desired now?
fluffypony: 'Tech investors are stunned by the amount of cash that has flooded into Brown's project. "This is no flavor of the month type scheme – I'm long on potatoes and you should be as well," one financial industry source didn't tell us.'
mircea_popescu: i mean as a process
BingoBoingo: "As well, the new code enables transaction senders to configure how much priority they want their transaction to receive. In some cases, users may opt to have as many as six blocks pass before the first confirmation is received." << How the fuck does Gavin deign to tell the miners what to do?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves if panic grips the fx market and it unwinds, and if doubts as to value of metal as collateral unwinds metal pledged as colateral in stocks
ThickAsThieves: "Andresen cited needless complexities within bitcoin’s transaction fee code as the reason for the update. "
asciilifeform: perhaps this is so elementary as to be uninteresting.
davout: Zoop_: yeah, that's on page 1, i mean "what is this?", as in, why is it important?
mike_c: or no news as the case may be.
indiancandy1: if you consider greek as white i do but people in england dont

indiancandy1: she thought she was prone to cancer as her mother passed from it
asciilifeform: good example of what, for the lack of a better term, i think of as 'partial differentiation'
mircea_popescu: also yes, as usual : the main utility of monsanto bs actually is in china.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 'terminator seed' is actually a very intriguing instrument from the standpoint of the mega-state. solves the ancient problem of the peasants not really needing the state for much of anything (as described in j. scott's 'the art of not being governed.') ☟︎
jurov: you picture above as tsome sinister goal of socialism
pankkake: and family can be seen as an adversary to socialism. better to have people alone, lost, with no social structure to fall back on except the State
nubbins`: implying that there aren't just as many two-parent families getting government money
jurov: how many woman are single because man knocked them and stopped caring after? they're in same position as widows
mircea_popescu: otherwise, nobody has any capital. inasmuch as they can't just wire it to bin laden's boys if they choose to.
mircea_popescu: any other outcome, such as not having a blog, or the word on your keyboard, or a job after ?
mircea_popescu: but it ain't changing the substance, as good packaging as it may be.
mircea_popescu: no, inasmuch as some actually are.
mircea_popescu: now as before :D
asciilifeform: notice also that the 'technology' - as in, the nature of the actual 'machine that keeps the rain out' has regressed, rather than advanced.
mircea_popescu: "before" the poor laborer only lived in town if an actual townsman took him as a household slave.
mircea_popescu: this entire nonsense depicting feminism as a woman driven thing... heh. mkay.
cazalla: sure, as he grows up but some of this women stick their kid in day care at 3 months just so they can get back to work, seems a critical time for mother/child
cazalla: they raise kids as it is anyway so guess it doesn't really matter
mircea_popescu: even so spanyards today are about as white as the sicilians.
cazalla: good as in good for me and wife
cazalla: as long as we respond to whatever it is he wanted, his demands cease, doesn't seem like personality to me
cazalla: i prefer to look at my son as a blank slate, perhaps even a fresh start :P
cazalla: or not as many anyway
cazalla: yeah as well as single parents
pankkake: I propose we kill all american painters, as a safety precaution
mircea_popescu: we're still in the "Structural weaknesses of democracy as displayed in the corrupt weimar republic" phase.
mircea_popescu: "They killed one thousand, six hundred of the town’s inhabitants as well as repeatedly raping young women considered to be of the left." << what was the test, i wonder ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as described here: http://cluborlov.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-rationale-behind-boston-psy-ops.html
asciilifeform: one russian fellow (forget which) called the scheme 'colony with the state as sole european'
mircea_popescu: "This was simply that the right coped with the loss of a ‘real’ overseas empire by internalising the empire, that is to say, by regarding metropolitan Spain as the empire and the proletariat as the subject colonial race." << that's actually an interesting point.
asciilifeform: as i understand, harem as SOP is a recipe that has to include a 'meat grinder' (for burning off the untermenschen)
mircea_popescu: as a rule of thumb, 80% of the population must eat when it can, not when it wants. that's NORMAL levels of inequality.
mircea_popescu: fuck you lol. as long as most people can afford internet, and running water, inequality is way way way too low.
punkman: "What nonsense this is. Am I really such a superior person? Do I belong at the center of the moral as well as economic universe? Do you?"
assbot: The Problem of Bitcoin Journalism as practiced : Bitcoin
BingoBoingo: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2a1475/the_problem_of_bitcoin_journalism_as_practiced/
asciilifeform: funny part is, the net pipe is really the only thing around here that actually works as advertised. the mains, water, sewer - i had detectable problems with. the fiber - never.
artifexd: Messi (Argentina) is still playing and has 4 as well. But in order for 905 to resolve as yes, one of them will have to score another 4 goals. Unlikely, in my opinion.
assbot: Outrage at Bitcoin Exchange Mt. Gox Expenses as Creditors Prepare to Fly to Japan
teward: and those other nets, except the priority and wifi subnets, are super locked down. (those two are not locked down as much but are locked down)
mircea_popescu: as in "they've hired me to get you to"
mircea_popescu: make it less sexuas, as in "we need you", more mercenary
gribble: Nick 'mike_c', with hostmask 'mike_c!~mike_c@unaffiliated/mike-c/x-9105598', is identified as user 'mike_c', with GPG key id 4FBC58464F910E21, key fingerprint 9086CA4627840552468FE3D44FBC58464F910E21, and bitcoin address None
asciilifeform: 'security agents may ask travelers to turn on their electronic devices at checkpoints and if they do not have power, the devices will not be allowed on planes' << this has been a thing for a while. never really made sense. as if it were necessary to replace the entire battery with, e.g. hexagen - instead of merely half of it - to demolish the plane.
mircea_popescu: it's just as precious for any government to think they aren't.
asciilifeform: benkay: use some object as a plumber's bob
asciilifeform: benkay: me (as a boy. then cured spontaneously. how? no idea.)
mircea_popescu: but who knows, there's such a thing as a big black guy with a small penis, maybe he's the world's 153th worst scammer.
mircea_popescu: e had been nothing more than a look of sympathy on a girl's face as she had listened to him, earlier that evening, telling his story. And for the first time, seeing himself mirrored in the girl's eyes, Ruska felt there was something heroic and out of the ordinary about his life. There was nothing between them yet, but he felt something had happened that gave him the right to say he had a girl.
Dekker3D: ... Well, as soon as I get around to replacing a water pump. I did some silly things in setting up my mining rig. It wasn't all that serious anyway.
thestringpuller: but as well Dekker3D people have found away around the memory wall on SCRYPT and alas are producing parallelized chips for that algo...
Dekker3D: If I can choose between having the same opportunities as everyone else, or being behind a group of others, I'll choose having the same opportunities
nubbins`: kakobrekla i've seen tildes used as exclamation points in the past
thestringpuller: that's not true tho...because as hashrate increases the tech becomes cheaper
mircea_popescu: nah, people who speak english as a second language actually are in the better position i imagine.
mircea_popescu: i did mean as an only language.
mircea_popescu: that the poor indian has the skills to survive as a poor indian, which the us guy does not
mircea_popescu: test532451243214 even more useless if those "scientists" are people being paid a salary by a government, as an idle exercise in trying to create jerbs.
mircea_popescu: chetty get a load of this : female body perceives male foetus as foreign, and generates unspecified "antibodies". the more boys a woman has, the more adept she is at this
Namworld: I use localbitcoins. Because it is correctly implemented for such transactions. You prefund your transaction such that BTC is already there. The buyer has a secret code to keep to himself. Once you have the money, you can text/release funds from web at which point you receive the buyer's secret code, which you can show him as confirmation that the funds were released.
thestringpuller: Hmm. I wonder if you could use bitbet as a predictor for scams...
mircea_popescu: "I am most at home as a startup leader" ? cool.
benkay: hey logs aren't half as long as i expected today.
Dekker3D: But one team member started becoming more of a burden than a boon, and he was an old friend so I found it hard to cut him loose. We also lacked programmers, as I was spending too much time just managing stuff.
mircea_popescu: isolated, as in, not part of a complex structure of language and relationship
mircea_popescu: there's this "look what you can learn about yourself on the internet" thing that happens to people. albeit rarely this clearly isolated as we have it here.
cazalla: Dekker3D: you'll pick up the lingo as you go along, worthwhile sticking it out
Dekker3D: So forgive me if I see the handicap allowance thing as something good.
Dekker3D: Oh. UD as in Urban Dictionary.
mircea_popescu: should be a crowdsourced project this. "i need crowdmoneyz to make a 380 km extendopenis to fuck this chick i met online that can't really be bothered to walk over, but i like tothink of as a prospect"
Dekker3D: Yeah, I figured as much.
gribble: Nick 'Dekker3D', with hostmask 'Dekker3D!~Dekker3D@cable-213-34-238-79.zeelandnet.nl', is identified as user 'Dekker3D', with GPG key id 802A70ED22A1B6E4, key fingerprint 3B5216E917B8DC774AC31B95802A70ED22A1B6E4, and bitcoin address None
FabianB: it continued almost just as funny in -otc
Dekker3D: That reminds me, my key should be done cooking by now. As in, uploading to a server and whatnot
moiety: i dont make as much sense as BB when drunk XD
mircea_popescu: Dekker3D: As far as I know, mircea's "anyway, drop your address" means that she should put her bitcoin address in here, anywhere. I'd write it for her, but it's more trustworthy if I just vouch for her and she writes it <<< yup that's a good point. seeing how you own this nick for 5 years and she just reg'd hers.
dub: because as an OG startup entreprenure, he doesnt have $30k or a credit card
Dekker3D: She'll need to exchange bitcoin for gbp at some point, which would likely require #bitcoin-otc. Which requires registration in the web of trust, afaik. And if she wants to earn more with shenanigans, as this other girl did, then she'll also likely need to be in the web of trust.
ninjashogun: thanks. They're both high-tech startups, albeit of two different kinds. The public pastebin doesn't include too much informatoin but of course I expect you to learn about both. They're both just doing their seed rounds now - the first acutaly already has assigned IP, etc, and has developed (the basics of) interesting technology. As it's hardware, it's quite hard to seed and we need to keep vigilant about stealth but I c
Dekker3D: As far as I know, mircea's "anyway, drop your address" means that she should put her bitcoin address in here, anywhere. I'd write it for her, but it's more trustworthy if I just vouch for her and she writes it
ninjashogun: For some reference, to set expectations, in the other channel (-otc) I've gotten bids on part of the money as low as 1.6x. However, the starting bid for the whole thing was something crazy.
kakobrekla: what, gears dont work as well?
asciilifeform: to be fair this is precisely the kind of turd i would order 'leaked' as a hangout op
mircea_popescu: American Embassy officials in Baghdad sided with Blackwater rather than the State Department investigators as a dispute over the probe escalated in August 2007, the previously undisclosed documents show. The officials told the investigators that they had disrupted the embassy’s relationship with the security contractor and ordered them to leave the country, according to the reports.
mircea_popescu: WASHINGTON — Just weeks before Blackwater guards fatally shot 17 civilians at Baghdad’s Nisour Square in 2007, the State Department began investigating the security contractor’s operations in Iraq. But the inquiry was abandoned after Blackwater’s top manager there issued a threat: “that he could kill” the government’s chief investigator and “no one could or would do anything about it as we were in Iraq,
pankkake: "Watch as I blow my full nose into a few tissues" just awesome lol
