X-Rob: mircea_popescu: I don't think I used the word suck.
BingoBoingo: I have to say this is probably the most consistent rented hash I've ever had it seems. The 600GH/s pointed at it nao
X-Rob: What I'm seeing on the dashboard is not what I"m seeing when submitting shares.
X-Rob: this is now as good as it's going to get 8)
BingoBoingo: X-Rob: But still, more transparent than alternatives. When chalbersma get on feel free to suggest some optimizations if you can think of any.
X-Rob: but that'
X-Rob: it appears to be better
X-Rob: it's still resetting every couple of seconds, but, that's just how p2pool works
X-Rob: OK, that's better. It's now accepting shares at 1024 when I ask it to
BingoBoingo: Hopefully this thing plays well with different workers mining to the same address.
BingoBoingo: I've also only got a bit more than 22 hours of rented hash left
X-Rob: share difficulty of 188 is still going to be bad
X-Rob: BingoBoingo: I can try aiming there again if you want
BingoBoingo: ;;later tell X-Rob How are the stats on chalbersma's pool looking? http://104.131.60.126:8559/static/ ☟︎
mircea_popescu: oh, so sculley wasn't telling it like it was huh.
jurov: As early as 1987, the New York Times wrote: "by the early 80's, Mr. Jobs was widely hated at Apple. Senior management had to endure his temper tantrums. He created resentment among employees by turning some into stars and insulting others, often reducing them to tears. Mr. Jobs himself would frequently cry after fights with fellow executives".
mircea_popescu: do tell?
jurov: i now have better understanding why jobs had to humiliate engineers to get what he wanted
asciilifeform: jurov: x86 is not scar tissue because it is popular, but because it genuinely sucks, and sucked from day 1 compared to virtually all known alternatives.
jurov: mircea see? which manager is going to do such thing, only to get it labeled maggots by his peers?
BingoBoingo: Often the maggots seem like their are try to help. "Oh here's some necrotic tissue to debride!"
asciilifeform: the maggots are rarely the murder weapon.
mircea_popescu: lol the american svab. not bad.
mircea_popescu: jurov> you see for youself what happened to it anyway. << it took over and set the course of computer history ?
BingoBoingo: Sure, isn't this what Trilema's for?
mircea_popescu: anyone want to see pictures ?
mircea_popescu: soo, i went to check out this bitcoin embassy thing
mike_c: kakobrekla: is toshi what was/is powering blockr?
TheNewDeal: curious to see if anyone knows how http://bitcoincharts.com/ calculates network hashrate. Looked around a little and couldnt find the answer
jurov: lol actually there is more
jurov: you see for youself what happened to it anyway.
jurov: even the most complicated part of it , the [234]86 was independently replicated
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Sneaky%20Rafiki | Jan 6, 2008 ... Guy 1: Dude I gave Jess a sneaky rafiki last night! Guy 2: ...... That's fucked up man.. *gives huge high five*. by dirty old man dan March 18, ...
BingoBoingo: Always nice to have more node options that don't care where the transactions they push come from
BingoBoingo: Yeah. Also it seems to not have its own wallt implementation, or at least the press release doesn't mention one which is a plus.
assbot: The Coinbase Blog Introducing Toshi - An Open Source Bitcoin Node For Developers
bounce: oh, our physics peddler is taking it to -otc

BingoBoingo: No, that's what they are fed.
bounce: little wikichildren nobody thinks about
BingoBoingo: bounce: Well, who feeds the wikipedos?
bounce: wikipedia says we left the last of those behind in the bronze age. so if the argument goes those things are still around (and they could well be, the eu likes this too for one) then we still need a useful classifier
asciilifeform: but literally - anywhere goods are delivered mainly to - and distributed mainly from - the palace.
asciilifeform: bounce: palace economy is any system where the crown is the (or even 'a') first-class financial, economic, cultural - player.
mircea_popescu: bounce know anyone that did fundamental research on his own account since ww2 ?
mircea_popescu: that end up is not even correct. they are. pretense to the contrary won't long endure.
bounce: what makes a palace economy? >50% of the population on the dole?

bounce: (how ironic that the USA effectively has a single party left. alright, two names and a dissident faction, but the politics are still muchly one party.)
mircea_popescu: my peen is righter shifted than your peen
bounce: "liberal" sounds right-wing to me, as in non-labour. but then, us politics are right-shifted compared to pinko-commie treehugging yurpeen politics.
mircea_popescu: similarly to how noobs and "journalist" derps talk of wall street
chetty: I suppose we are doing the same thing with things like libtards
mircea_popescu: and it'd be hostile to women
mircea_popescu: maryland doesn't have the same ring to it
asciilifeform: even though in reality it is reasonably spread out geographically
asciilifeform: same as how many people in usa refer to usg tentacle monster as 'washington'
asciilifeform: but it also is used by provincial folks to gripe about the capital & the central gov. in general. approx. 'damned muscovites'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the ukrs lifted it, too
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform btw, as far as romanians are concerned, russians (muscali) have tails.
chetty: asciilifeform, whats the russian word for germans actually mean?
mircea_popescu: same people tho.
asciilifeform: so they can in principle flip.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not necessarily a zapped theory, just needs a little 'epicycle.' that being: orc and human exist in dynamic equilibrium; 'orcish' land has a trace element of 'human' and vice versa
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform your pissing theory is weak because singapore went from one to the other over one generation.
asciilifeform: bounce: but before you can 'run' them, have to recruit.
mircea_popescu: which is ridiculous, because in romanian that says "the russians" which were his backers mostly.
mircea_popescu: but, on his tv address, he blamed "foreign agenturas", ie, agenturile straine
bounce: HUMINT is anything to do with running human agents
mircea_popescu: it failed horribly, the cryptocommie in charge brought some miners from mining country to beat the shit out of the "intellectuals" and assorted aggitators
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: simple heuristic. folks who incorrigibly piss in apartment lobbies, elevators - 'orcs.' those who don't - 'humans', or 'germans' if you like.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform funny linguistic trainwreck : during the early 1990s, the leftover us derps tried to organise the maidan thing in romania too. it was called "miscarea piata universitatii", dunno why the fixation on "plaza" in the name.
mircea_popescu: "well they're not corsicans, i'll tell you that! so..."
mircea_popescu: your idea of germanity is perhaps very similar to napoleon's
mircea_popescu: in that case lombards are germans too ?!
mircea_popescu: because the current one "wrongly vaporized" or w/e was gmaxwell's expression.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: habsburg affair, doesn't smell very slavic to me
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what's your idea of teh bohemian kingdom ?
bounce: on the note of nigerian scammers deliberately writing horrible ingrish to filter out the chumps... what'd the successful scam ratings do if the regulars in -otc would manage to write well-punctuated correct english?
mircea_popescu: russians having invented robots, they get the benefit of seeing things like "worker worker" whenever someone has a worker robot in a game or somewhere.
mircea_popescu: suddenly transparent
asciilifeform: bounce: the term 'agent work.' refers to how traitors are traditionally recruited by the masters of the 20th century - totalitarian intelligence agencies. (and, arguably, every intelligence worker since cave man)
bounce: no idea about the (probably) cyrillic, but the tactic was pretty obvious down to boring me to tears
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: so classic and textbook, though, it's riotously funny
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform atm just unit testing, im sure.
asciilifeform: and what his plan is for the recruited chump.
asciilifeform catches up with log, reads the latest mr. spam, and wonders if he's the only one here familiar with traditional 'агентурная работа' tradecraft. i.e. why the bugger wants you (for some value of 'you') alone, in dark alley, and feeling warm & special & 'pre-qualified.'
mircea_popescu: but which SEEM exactly the contrary.
mircea_popescu: the problem of course is the converse situation : products like the btc, wot or gpg, without which life ACTUALLY IS not worth living
asciilifeform would much rather see computer cost (and worth) 50k then wheeled coffin
mircea_popescu: all you really need to do is make life appear unworth living without your 18k tablet, for guaranteed sales well north of 1.8 trillion
mircea_popescu: in fact items as expensive as 50k are consumer products just fine, because of the finance economy.
mircea_popescu: the only consideration is if the thing actually costs 18k to make (cars don't really, but the mess of "safety" and "environmental" regulations make the "car" as defined actulaly cost a lot to make)
mircea_popescu: in point of fact people can and do spend 18k just on financing for a car they don't need (either because they live in ny, or because it'd be the 3rd family car etc)
mircea_popescu: re kako's "cost 18k usd" thing : a financial economy has one benefit exactly, and that is, making the price point not a consideration anymore.
thestringpuller: kinda wants to put up a silent treatment and waste my and your time ;)
thestringpuller: yea the buddy is annoying me
nubbins`: i also emailed your buddy the same info fwiw
nubbins`: anyway, we're ready whenever. shirts are here, films are printed. should be in the mail within 24h of getting the graphic sorted
thestringpuller: but there is on mine as I might be able to get these into Zumiez
