thestringpuller: So Naggum would have lived if he had paid taxes?
asciilifeform: oisoned, by this. I won’t say he was paranoid, but he became very wary and suspicious, and had real trouble trusting people. And his medical condition just got worse and worse...'
asciilifeform: 'Erik of course, argued. For years and years. And he wouldn’t pay ANY tax because they were so unreasonable. And then of course he did become guilty of tax evasion, and their tax claim just grew and grew.

thestringpuller: or are they just anti-wot cause they want to make their own via facebook...
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: precisely the point. owner's pedigree is the only thing backing a premined coin whose mining network is controlled entirely by the owner.
assbot: Logged on 24-09-2014 05:39:28; asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: importance of pedigree is proportional to information poverty.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: consider though, the coin whose owner controls its network. <<< pedigree of owner is of import in a situation of absent information.

mircea_popescu: i mean take a plumber. a plumber i can respect.
mircea_popescu can't help thinking these people are idiots.

asciilifeform: 'is not apple turdware'
kakobrekla: (is not appleturdware - i really feel i need to express this.)
kakobrekla: i just tried mine. does not bend. does blend though.
nubbins`: so there you have it, folks: you can bend a thin aluminum phone with your hands
nubbins`: i hate the phrase "so there you have it"
mircea_popescu: be of concern due to the ability to control HTTP_* in the env.
mircea_popescu: Note that on Linux systems where /bin/sh is symlinked to /bin/bash,
asciilifeform: ^ somewhere in there...

nubbins` used latex to produce every paper he ever wrote in uni
nubbins` ponders this
mircea_popescu: ikr ? tell the customers to wait.
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't use it to hold pics in memory
nubbins`: i'm waiting for the part where stan explains what format i should be saving my graphics in

mircea_popescu: but there is some merit in using ascii for data.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: deliberate use of non-optimally-compact representation was justified with 'humans will read and write it without having to, horrors, use a program.'
asciilifeform: nubbins`: let's eat shit, it's the only food we all have.
nubbins`: we don't love it because it's pretty, we love it because it's the only one
nubbins`: but hey, it's the only open-source vector graphics standard we have
asciilifeform: yes, let's have massive 'plain text' representation for multi-MB turds that no human will ever read.
nubbins`: asciilifeform it was actually XSLT which rekindled the flames of my misanthropy

mircea_popescu: the hell is that ?!" "oh this ? it's my sex tape"
mircea_popescu: (lol of all time, in bar, people put their shit on table - phones keys etc - this hardcore highschooler chick that somewhat reminds me of miss julia t puts a huge bubblegum tape thing
mircea_popescu: and a new sex tape
mircea_popescu: in other words : britney's getting her tits now and she's never EVER going to be left alone ever again.
