mircea_popescu: and they BOTH did it, hurray for us-style "competition" ==== "industry best practices"
mircea_popescu: basically they picked a solution that fell out of the fail tree and hit every branch down
kakobrekla: but they wait zero conf
mircea_popescu: we just give you the girl.
mircea_popescu: brothel1 : if you fail to spend in 10 minutes, there's a surcharge. brothel2 : if you fail to spend in 3 days, there's a... nevermind.
mircea_popescu: yeah right, too complicated, let's make it not work.
asciilifeform: yes that one.
mircea_popescu: and supposedly these things hire engineers and have ceos and market value. psssssst
kakobrekla: too complicated for _people_, better to take the exchange risk for a few min
mircea_popescu: then you can just send 1 even for a .75 invoice if you absolutely must have it filled, and take .2whatever in change when it happens
mircea_popescu: does not take any genius
mircea_popescu: "here is the address to pay to. if you pay in the next 10 minutes, you need to pay this much. if you don't and the price moves in your favour expect change in your originating address ; if it moves against you expect a new invoice generated for the difference"
asciilifeform: decimation: a good deal of the really dirt-cheapo chinese stuff has mask rom.
kakobrekla: well, its hard to pay for 90% of the car
decimation: asciilifeform: I suspect nearly all brands have such controllers, the fun part is learning how to access backdoor
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla the implication being that what exactly ? your weight is their fiat.
asciilifeform: and afaik there's exactly one brand known to work for that experiment
kakobrekla: dunno why that needs to be pointed out.
kakobrekla: <mircea_popescu> but i mean, bitbet works just fine without expiring addresses < cause bb has to do with fiat as much as well.. with fiat.
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah if one is going to play with uC on a usb stick, might as well hack a usb storage card use the controller, because cheap
chalbersma: mp I'll take a look at it but I'm not entirely sure how to do it. I'll have to read more into the procedure of generating that coinbase.
asciilifeform: why that particular one is being pushed 'for crypto!' - mystery.
asciilifeform: decimation: scores of similar toys (usb plus cheap micro on a 'keychain') exist.
decimation: all that being said it looks like a fun little toy
decimation: also if you are using an adc you are going to want careful signal separation and shielding like asciilifeform implied.
decimation: diametric: I agree with asciilifeform re: that FST-01 device for TRNG - there are just too many potential gotchas with a low-quality ADC, why bother when a much simpler circuit would suffice?
mircea_popescu: it's nice supporting foss authors and everything, but i doubt the guy can or would spend atc.
mircea_popescu: chalbersma suppose you just re-write it so it gives that to the highest ranking address.
chalbersma: I think.
chalbersma: It gives the donation address a satoshi and any leftover satoshi's after dividing between the active shares to that address too.
mircea_popescu: what the fuck is wrong with people.
mircea_popescu: yet there's a whole collection of reddit wailers derping about how bitbet is a scam and ty bitpay for having fixed your X error that cost me my business you're such a great company.
BingoBoingo: Do they needs another reason?
mircea_popescu: well that yes
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Craetes room for them to be scammy fucks
mircea_popescu: what is it supposed to do ?
mircea_popescu: someone has to explain to me why both coinbase (10 minute) and bitpay (15 minute) use this idiotic "expiring invoice" model.
chalbersma: mp. I've been looking at the bit that donation transaction that generates the donation to forrestv's address. I've found one alternative p2pool implementation that had a different coinbase script but I'm not sure how to generate it. I'll have to look more into it tomorrow.
mircea_popescu: it is difficult to store, because if air gets to it they make phosgene and hcl ; however it can be trivially washed in a solution of baking soda, which removes the decomposition products safely.
mircea_popescu: by the way : chloroform can be trivially manufactured out of either acetone (nail polish remover) or ethanol through addition of chlorine bleach.
mircea_popescu: this country has the world's stupidest mosquitoes.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: You sold all of the cock cages
mircea_popescu: my pr back then could benchpress a car.
nubbins`: yeah, PR wrote a tell-all book
BingoBoingo: Wait, now we know how MP retired the first time with all the money.
mircea_popescu: IMBATABLE ARGUMENT!!! ty homophobia!
nubbins`: ehh, more farts than kisses
mircea_popescu: nubbins` more cock cages sold last year than iphones.
mircea_popescu: actually a lot of men get off on not getting to get off frequently
Diablo-D3: everyone should know what they get off to, and get off to it frequently
Diablo-D3: and thats totally okay too
mircea_popescu: anywhere between all and each and every last one of them.
mircea_popescu: was this a prepared statement ?
DiabloD3: there are many women who get off on men with power, and it is not our right as a society on who is allowed to get off on what (outside of bestiality and pedophilia and catholics
DiabloD3: so to tell me women aren't willing participants in the whole office thing is bullshit
DiabloD3: the upper brass would just shut that whole thing down
ben_vulpes: they know we're saying the same thing.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: that's the point of using "poorly engineered"
DiabloD3: before all this fucking "women's rights" shit ruined it for everybody
ben_vulpes: yeah but only when the contractors arent around
mircea_popescu: generally, whenever someone complains whatever they complain about should be replaced by something that's about a degree of magnitude more likely to bother them personally.
DiabloD3: Im thinking, like, the 50s style office maidens
ben_vulpes: to pique irk and troll
mircea_popescu: seems to me "female" is a good substitution for "retarded" for the company of females that think retarded's retarded.
ben_vulpes: so to pique them we now say "poorly engineered"
ben_vulpes: the office brides have asserted that "retarded" is not okay
mircea_popescu: like ten lines up in the log.
ben_vulpes: what is this reference mircea_popescu ?
mircea_popescu: (let's play your filter is functioning correctly tag)

mircea_popescu: even the more exotic 92% dark romanian stuff
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i srsly never met a us born/bred woman that had trouble with good chocolate.
mircea_popescu: QUIT THIS BODY!
asciilifeform: go ahead, catch one, try to feed it actual chocolate.
asciilifeform: and when you understand why, will also understand why 'casual dining' is a thing
assbot: Logged on 20-07-2014 08:41:26; mircea_popescu: maybe i visit after the fall. play fallout in new reno irl or some4thing.
BingoBoingo: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-07-2014#762111 << You said yourself you were planning a trip eventually ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i suspect they're about as belgian as haagen dasz
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform us "belgian" chocolates are pretty awful too.
asciilifeform: notice that it is almost exactly the same substance.
asciilifeform: now, having done step 1 (american chocolate) - step 2 is to eat some 'premium' american chocolate.
mircea_popescu: hungarians are allowed to sz zs all over the place
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: or better, pay some wretch to eat it
mircea_popescu: yeah, yet. totally, that's happening.
mircea_popescu: why not go the other way wtf is with this puritan hate of pleasure and enjoyment for crying out loud.
mircea_popescu: location and tabletime costs more than fucking food.
BingoBoingo: McDonalds Food, but in a venue purporting to be a restaurant
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Fast Food, but they make you wait for it.
mircea_popescu: what the fuck is "asual dining"
mircea_popescu: "TGI Friday's (often shortened to "Friday's" in most countries, previously stylized as "T.G.I. Friday's", and stylized "FRiDAY'S", or "T.G.I.s" in Ireland and the United Kingdom) is an American restaurant chain focusing on casual dining."
mircea_popescu: a bucket list being the list of things the assholes in question were hoping to do before i got to them.
asciilifeform: list of persons to be drowned in bucket ?
mircea_popescu: not to be confused with a bucket list.
mircea_popescu: at least that's how i use it.
asciilifeform: just as, in the words of an old sage, 'a kill file is simply a file containing list of people you are going to have killed.'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform buzzfeed is hot topic for the web.
asciilifeform: and, also related, 'kill switch' must only be a switch that kills someone when pressed.
