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: 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.
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
kdomanski: <ThickAsThieves> b-a doesnt have a proper nonprofit
to give
to << how about Electronic Frontier Foundation?
mircea_popescu: if you have
to split 5 apples equally between
tim and mary easiest approach is
to eat an apple.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform birdy in my ear whispers
there's a legitimate reason for
that
thing. specifically, division errors.
ThickAsThieves: whats
the difference between hardcoded donation and bitcoin wallet hacker virus?
chalbersma: Only if you leave
the default donation is
the .25 per block given. I've set
the manual donation
to 0.
gribble: Bitstamp BTCUSD
ticker | Best bid: 467.02, Best ask: 468.37, Bid-ask spread: 1.35000, Last
trade: 468.4, 24 hour volume: 6783.74875283, 24 hour low: 465.31, 24 hour high: 479.62, 24 hour vwap: 473.493207448
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the forum says .25 donated by default. did you change
that or what ?
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 ?
chalbersma: I added
the minimum
to make
the code work. It can be changed in
the future.
assbot: [3500
TH] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool
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
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 ?
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"
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
chalbersma: Introducing iTank!
The most friendly and easy
to use
Tank every invented. Just
take civillians put
them infront of
the intiutive iTarget system and choose
the enemy
to iKill.
ThickAsThieves: well can we at least convert
them
to ChromeOS or someshit
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves nah,
the vast and growing population of useless office drones is
the reason.
they can be kept busy doing nothing which is
the point.
ThickAsThieves: sometimes i feel like unconvertible Excel files are
the only reason MS still exists
chalbersma: Well if
they ran FreeBSD
they'd never breakdown.
BingoBoingo: I
thought
they already ran Windows CE or some shit.
mircea_popescu: i can't fucking believe scientificamerican seriously is advocating making
tanks run windows.
ThickAsThieves: he's also in solar, which is a quiet little goldmine
these days
mircea_popescu: well yeah, selling stuff on glbse, selling stuff on wallstreet, what
the hell's
the difference.
ben_vulpes: "shit he's in" << what shit is
this? bed with
the USG?
BingoBoingo: Well First on
this instance, but yeah, second overall I believe
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves yeah musk is actually remarkably clean for
the shit he's in.
ThickAsThieves: Musk was repeatedly
telling people
the shit is overpriced
mircea_popescu: the us is by now
that loser kid everyone "borrow"
things from, and he doesn't mind if you'll just be his friend.
mircea_popescu: yeah well, when someone
takes
three divisions worth off
tanks from my own hands we can revisit
this
topic.
mircea_popescu: i miss
the days of spring, back when
they were paying romanian loser starvation wages
to
try
their noob psychology on here.
notsakamoto: mp; u
think its scam? unlikely. vitalik is
trustworthy
ben_vulpes: three hundred dollar coins by
the end of summer?
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
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.
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 Mosuland 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
nubbins`: thestringpuller shirts finally arrived, printing films; your design doesn't have
text converted
to outlines
☟︎ 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: dude i can't believe
this
thing i edited one place but not
the other and signed it like
that o.O
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: 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.
