asciilifeform: fluffypony: before long, you'll be drummed out as a spammer. like i was, from pediwikia.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: problem is, as always, space.
pankkake: as for mouse design, I belive radical change is what helps. when I changed from a heavy wireless mouse to a small, light mouse, it was also better
mircea_popescu: that thing is a zombie, been reinvented as "high tech" each coupla decades since 1950
mircea_popescu: but that's expensive as shit a process.
asciilifeform: urbit is the ultimate example of a tentacle of a problem masquerading as solution to said problem.
mircea_popescu: princessnell, i propose this is factual. my main objection with the "west" such as it is today is that there's just too many girls. of both genders. not nearly enojugh women, virtually n omen. it gets stale being in the junior high after a while.
asciilifeform: 'what's the point of mega-bunker, with key, when you can btc store private key just as well'
mircea_popescu: i think this is going to be generating a lot of lulz as a going concern.
asciilifeform: incidentally, 'twitter' is a perfect candidate for demolition using blockchain-encoded text (as discussed in the past.)
assbot: Re: Representing code as XML: the Flare Programming Language - Naggum cll archive
pankkake: same as mike_c. I think just changing radically can help, though of course getting things that are more ergonomic is also good
mircea_popescu: and so since i'm paying for security detail anyway, might as well put this to use : let them do the same if they want to talk to me on equal terms.
peterl: I don't expect to trust the ratings, but it would be nice to see scammers come up red as I look through their threads
mircea_popescu: but funnier i shall take to my grave. for the entire world combined is not half as funny as I privately am myself!!1
ThickAsThieves: well give them 2 minutes to say he must be high to say things like he does (pic as evidence)
fluffypony: as long as they have a measurable outcome
pankkake: and this is why reddit can never be used as a proper discussion platform
moiety: my brother felt that way about brian too though. he never liked anthony, thought he didn't fit the books as well
Mats_cd03: i remember pendulum, but i mostly listened to hiphop as an angsty youth
BingoBoingo: The choices as they were in 1975 remain C and LISP
BingoBoingo: benkay: As long as you stay out of North City
Vexual: so i guess synthetic yeast will be about as synthetic as phrethrum isn't a mutagen
thestringpuller: I can only assume when Kimbrel comes out at a Braves game as a closer.
BingoBoingo: Of course with the current rotation that lines up as Lynn, Miller, Garcia for Friday, Saturday and Sunday respectively.
asciilifeform: i.e. hashing power of non-public asic projects, disguised as whatever you want (as 10,000 gpu folks, say) via means familiar to any spammer.
asciilifeform: that seems to be the alpha and omega of mining as a field.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: american bureaucrats recently decided that a btc-usd converter that simply rents out mining capacity doesn't count as 'exchange'
asciilifeform: (as if the cardano bets weren't enough)
BingoBoingo: (When I operated buttons as a "TA" in distance pharmacy school lectures ketamine was the non-propofol anesthetic with the longest presentation)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It is also used as a human anesthetic in the right surgical contexts
BingoBoingo: I imagine I guess as long it wasn't the falcipram subtype I might be able to get away with just drinking gin and actual tonic water over the summer.
asciilifeform: industrial civilization as we have it (esp. the u.s. variety) is fragile enough, one needn't make use of futuristic weapons to turn 'business as usual' into a nostalgic fantasy.
Mats_cd03: either would be ok with me, as long as i had a beretta
asciilifeform: at some point, we'll get the situation described in 1968 book 'stand on zanzibar' (j. brunner) where 'muckers' (amock) become a daily event, and people simply get used to it, in just the same way people accept traffic deaths as a 'cost of doing business.'
punkman: as far as rampages go, the bulldozer guy was pretty cool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZbG9i1oGPA ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Mats_cd03: Catching the brass as it is ejected isn't too hard either.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: What amazes me is how as time goes on the shootem up derps become less effective. Few have surpased the Bell tower guy
BingoBoingo: As that's when I posted the last ones
BingoBoingo is not making a statement as to whether such a return has happened yet or not.
BingoBoingo: mike_c: This could be a headache for you to maintain over time as comments increase and you have to fix comment html manually.
cazalla: i think it was http://data.mtgox.com/api/2/LTCUSD/money/ticker any day now as you said, midas touch inc
mike_c: i tried mining litecoin with that once as an exercise in stupidity.
TomServo: It was "Whitey/Nigger" and I already pushed the changes to my code. I feel that the nigger word is not as dangerous as the slave word so it's ok. BTW I'm black and have many black friends, and listen to everything but country and rap, LOL!
gribble: Nick 'kdomanski', with hostmask 'kdomanski!~kdomanski@public-gprs514496.centertel.pl', is identified as user 'kdomanski', with GPG key id 8FCF3D39BD616728, key fingerprint 37A442AB8627388583F82FCDD9751D0C22B68FD5, and bitcoin address None
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, proactive compliance as a veil for insolvency has a rich history by now.
davout: meanwhile, bitcoind still lets users provide passphrases as CLI options instead of prompting
gribble: (gettrust [<sourcenick>] <destnick>) -- Get trust paths for <destnick>, starting from <sourcenick>. If <sourcenick> is not supplied, your own nick is used as the source. See http://wiki.bitcoin-otc.com/wiki/OTC_Rating_System#Notes_about_gettrust
mircea_popescu: so apparently there's a very good reason they call it brazilian wax. it's starting to look like you can't get a passport as a brazil with hair on your pubis.
fluffypony: has much better rhymes as well
nubbins`: im gone as well
thestringpuller: ;;google dope as beats
assbot: Facebook-Integrated Wallet Makes Sending Bitcoin as Easy as Messaging http://t.co/uvmn4SRS86 via /coindesk /MarshallHayner /hashtag/remittances?src=hash
Mats_cd03: as long as it doesnt give me aids or carve up my intestines idc
Vexual: As far as I know he was a well fed kid that sat under a tree until he was thinner
Vexual: This is what is known as otc?
thestringpuller: "Is there such a thing as an absolute, timeless enemy? There is no such thing, and never has been. And the reason is that our enemies are human beings like us."
bitcoinpete: so our perceived purpose does as well
mircea_popescu: i reclal a great write-up of the self publish scam as practiced in 1800s paris
bitcoinpete: and will continue to until such time as some humble pie is gobbled
asciilifeform: wonder if everybody who grew up in '90s thought, as i did, 'i didn't sign up to be a classicist damnit'
assbot: Facebook-Integrated Wallet Makes Sending Bitcoin as Easy as Messaging
decimation: well, the latter is a direct consequence of the former as well
mircea_popescu: a guy by the name mazzotta who happens to be a federal agent contracted for his own garage to have some rig shit delivered. he was gone one day, and his WIFE who is about as clueful as the average blondy
mircea_popescu: pankkake, but srsly, bitcoind takes the wallet passphrase as command line
thestringpuller: A passphrase stored as an env variable? Like...whaaa?
mircea_popescu: this is not actually correct. btc on mpex books are more valuable than btc held by users, (and are traded as such)
mircea_popescu: the fact that there's no one doing it now simply reflects the fact nobody is currently giving a shit. not something ytou can rely on as you change the incentive structure
poutine: thestringpuller, Well you have a 201 opcode limit, 1000 stack size limit, and a 10000 byte tx limit, I need 8 opcodes per comparison, so as long as there's 24 possible moves or less it can be played on the blockchain
mircea_popescu: benkay: didn't mpif have a float of n at t=0 and then shortly thereafter had a float of n + m? << 1mn, then as that sold out 2mn
pankkake: I haven't seen any casino owner try to dissuade gamblers as much as dooglus
fluffypony: dooglus: for what it's worth, I think they're utterly moronic, they're reacting as if they didn't read the second part of your comment
thestringpuller: jurov: wow reddit is angry at dooglus "Dooglus, as the owner of Just Dice, you should not have said anything to them whatsoever, due to conflict of interest. You may have cost yourself a lot of respect from the community."
benkay: <mircea_popescu> so you get mpex-audited float every time yoyu pay a dividend. << wait but as in the case of mpif, a malicious broker could issue more shares and not pay to that float, as mpex doesn't enforce that divs be paid to the whole float which you say is a feature but my tiny brain still percieves as a bug
asciilifeform: benkay: as for the remainder: since this type of distribution was customary, any unsanctioned cribbing of code would become apparent when you bought the suspected product and examined its sources.
benkay: hey wait, weren't the legendary symbolics environments of yore closed source as well?
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: and you two as well as anyone interested is invited to a full debate of this matter, to take place starting 8pm today << buddha, i'll be there. that is, here.
pankkake: this was hinted a few times as a replacement of conscription
bitcoinpete: pankkake: sure, as the state will provide
BingoBoingo: punkman: Correct. As bad as the four wheeled problem is, three wheeled...
asciilifeform: looked it up, they seem to cost about the same as a nice toyota
asciilifeform: as i understand, all the down-sides of a normal auto and motorcycle in one package.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: almost certainly same reason as the various folks i know in this position - term of art, i think, is 'underwater'
mircea_popescu: and you two as well as anyone interested is invited to a full debate of this matter, to take place statring 8pm today, my time. which is roughly in nine hours. then maybe we can get to the bottom of it
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete: i would've thought he was the exact opposite << this, incidentally, is how you know you've buddha'd. various people reading your stuff come to exactly opposite conclusions on fundamental topics such as "what is the purpose of meaning"
mircea_popescu: gotta try around a little. as is typical of open source, diff things work for diff jobs.
asciilifeform: as for the paraders - from the lack of habitable building, went to see the fscking parade. and this is what it looked like:
mircea_popescu: |OgNasty: Any newly generated coins donated to nastyfans we can consider as NASTY MINING. I could identify these and maybe we vote to set policy that NASTY MINING always gets at least 25% of mined coins?"
mircea_popescu: punkman: seems strange << few people actually grok opsec. this is probably because most adults were once children, and most children are forced to renounce their hardline attitudes, such as "won't eat any peas ever no matter what"
mircea_popescu: assbot: Pigeon-feeders in Vienna to be fined 36 as part of city's crackdown on bird population << holy shit they're doing it right. fucking winged rats.
mircea_popescu: AS IF this wasn't fucking predictable as farts at a bean soup convention
davout: kakobrekla: bc was a fake all along, having never provably started it can therefore not provably stop operating, and its volume has always been imaginary, therefore it can't drop, therefore bet resolves as 'No'
kakobrekla: so at what complaint-rate is it not generally accepted as non-fake?
jurov: not many complaints, so it's generally accepted as non-fake
jurov: heh. but the point stands, it is the equvalent of redirect and it's actually one of unfavorable memories of mine as sysadmin
jurov: it does *not* wotk as the bet says
Apocalyptic: not Bitcoin-Central as an entity
jurov: i don't see any reason to close it as No
Apocalyptic: as formulated the bet is tied to the domain Bitcoin-central.net
jurov: i bet that it will be decided in other way as the iOS one :D
