ThickAsThieves: in NY the cabs all have "news" playing
mircea_popescu: i stopped the car, got out and spent the next hour screaming at people on the phone.
nubbins`: keep turning em back on when you put the brightness all the way down too
mircea_popescu: at some point in tm they tried to introduce ad screens in cabs.
ThickAsThieves: we're waiting to take off and they are milking me?
ThickAsThieves: i'm such an old man about it too, we were in the plane and the screen on the seat just starts playing video ads
mircea_popescu: myeah, humane ads are like humane rape. a tough sell in the best of cases.
nubbins`: all about the posters
ThickAsThieves: i liked the vanads project, but in reality i find myself being quite preoccupied with removing advertising from my life
mircea_popescu: so save up the pennies, charitable charities coming soon
mircea_popescu: and if/when we make our own freenode there's going to be that
mircea_popescu: actually, there's going to be the deeds registrar faucet
ThickAsThieves: they havent passed my sniff test
kdomanski: <ThickAsThieves> b-a doesnt have a proper nonprofit to give to << how about Electronic Frontier Foundation?
mircea_popescu: course that was 2 digit rounding error, not 8 digit.
asciilifeform: the original 'salami slicer' thief, if i recall, stole the rounding error at a large bank.
mircea_popescu: if you have to split 5 apples equally between tim and mary easiest approach is to eat an apple.

ThickAsThieves: lol traders blaming BTCUSD price on United Way now
mircea_popescu: anyway, the forum says .25 donated by default. did you change that or what ?
mircea_popescu: chalbersma always a good idea to say, and to ask.
chalbersma: Noticed it with the first block and looked it up. 1 satoshi per block seemed harmless enough.
mircea_popescu: chalbersma did you know about this originally or did you discover it through reading up on it once people spotted it earlier ?
ThickAsThieves: b-a doesnt have a proper nonprofit to give to
ThickAsThieves: change the payout to something cooler
mircea_popescu: you added the minimum what ?
chalbersma: I added the minimum to make the code work. It can be changed in the future.

chalbersma: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=18313.150;wap2 Here's an explanation of it. His address is in the code manually for donations.
mircea_popescu: and moreover, i'm not promoting this sort of behaviour.
mircea_popescu: that's not the point. the point is that if we discover this sort of shit by running it, who the fuck knows what else is in there
mircea_popescu: wtf bs code is this.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I think it is just the guy who developed this thing hardcoded donations to himself.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: X-Rob: I've rented hash and pointed it there for 48 hours. Hopefully this drives the pool diff up or... << i don't get it, the pool diff can't be arbitrarily set ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo so what is this forrestv thing, does the guy have like a little leak programmed into the code ?
ThickAsThieves: i have some cows that shit circles
mircea_popescu: "this is a plant made out of cells that could not stand on their own, and if they did would form a circle pattern. it's macropattern is linear. clearly there's something external hodling it all in place"
ThickAsThieves: wag the dog
mircea_popescu: you can tell them from a mile away. mostly because while they make no sense, they proceed liniarly in a way that's not warranted by their internal logic.
mircea_popescu: kdomanski yeah, he's so clearly doing one of those faux-editorial advocacy pieces where some captured "intellectual" is workign to cover the scandalous govt acquisition from some company
kdomanski: mircea_popescu: the article's author is a lawyer specializing in technology law and a member of Senate Whatever Comittee of Inteligence, go figure

ThickAsThieves: sometimes i feel like unconvertible Excel files are the only reason MS still exists

mircea_popescu: what the fuck is wrong with that country already
mircea_popescu: i can't fucking believe scientificamerican seriously is advocating making tanks run windows.
ThickAsThieves: how will all the anonycoins fit in one moonship tho?
chalbersma: He's the guy who created p2pool.https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool
chalbersma: https://atc.blockr.io/address/info/1Kz5QaUPDtKrj5SqW5tFkn7WZh8LmQaQi4 is forrestv's address and all p2pool block send at least 1 satoshi to his address. Someone apparently had a p2pool instance going earlier (or was randomly transfering him 1 statoshis.
ThickAsThieves: he's also in solar, which is a quiet little goldmine these days
chalbersma: https://atc.blockr.io/block/info/45165 was the earlier one but we reset all the p2pool data in earlier testing.

mircea_popescu: i miss the days of spring, back when they were paying romanian loser starvation wages to try their noob psychology on here.
ben_vulpes: and a worse programmer than i

notsakamoto: mp; u think its scam? unlikely. vitalik is trustworthy
ben_vulpes: three hundred dollar coins by the end of summer?
ben_vulpes: ah that's awesome
mircea_popescu: nobdy here gives a shit, on account of us being both richer and more powerful than the usg.
mircea_popescu: rumor has it that the scam in question only exists as an attempt to pull this sort of manipulation.
notsakamoto: rumor has it ethereum selling 1/2 their holdings to pay for dev. 15,000 btc hitting market soon
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes this is a soft system being attacked.
ben_vulpes: *months* of uptime and then what is this?
mircea_popescu: kdomanski i have nfi how they presume to act as if the tanks are the problem. no, the us general staff, from the chief to the cleaning lady are the problem. hanged all of them.
asciilifeform loves the log, friend of the lazy man
assbot: Logged on 15-09-2014 18:06:25; asciilifeform: diametric: an adequate trng is incredibly easy to build. but don't use adc noise on a general-purpose micro - is heavy on quantization bias, and easy to nudge from outside.
mircea_popescu: here's an idea for a kill switch : everyone in the pentagon is hanged.
mircea_popescu: "This summer the insurgent group ISIS captured the Iraqi city of Mosul—and along with it, three army divisions’ worth of U.S.-supplied equipment from the Iraqi army, including Humvees, helicopters, antiaircraft cannons and M1 Abrams tanks."
nubbins`: so now i have a large Arial TM in the middle of your image, instead of (probably) a tiny fun TM in the corner somewhere

mircea_popescu: PeterL: not usually explosives, but I have had a few things go up in flames (note: dumping pyrophoric powder into a container of flammable liquid is a bad idea) << one of my favourite "experiments" as a 12 yo with a chemistry lab was setting on fire a mix of potassium chloride and sulfur powder, with various metals mixed in for coloration.
mircea_popescu: now the reports and the contract are fucking diverged and jurov has legitimate complaint #873

mircea_popescu: kdomanski turns out it was urine polution. you know, the way us males get estrogen in the drinking water from all the pills chicks take to not make more kids.
mircea_popescu: PeterL: where did you get 100M shares from? << the confusion is mostly because originally F.DERP was going to have 10x as much money, but then i cut back because nobody was buying the derps, much to i guess no one's surprise.
kdomanski: I suspect natural the way THC is natural and LSD is not
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: this is an easy way to create a fraudulent scenario. <<< i can actually confirm this. clueless intern paid .2 btc coinbase invoice, had to be slapped across head. the bitcents are and have been in limbo since friday.
mircea_popescu: punkman why was tramadol supposed to be natural ?!
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: if you can recommend a shop and they give you a cutback on the order "finders fee" or something i would consider <<< what you're contemplating is actually fraud, and a hanging offense you know.
