<< this is EXACTLY unrelated to capitalism.
mircea_popescu:
<brendafdez> No bitcoin payoutsa, however

<decimation> I just thought of a brilliant anti-'area denial' (to usg term) weapon system. imagine a small turboprop uav ... that can drop its wings and turn into kerosene rocket
<< why bother with expensive turbomachinery? just use solid propellants...

<< hey, in my spare time i'm designing a fucking game. up to my neck in, of all things, mysql!
mod6:
<+mircea_popescu> now, can we has static etc 32 bit ?
<< yeah. we'll put that at the top of the list.
nubbins`:
<+danielpbarron> i also had one going that was using a USB3 stick -- stopped it after a week or so when it was clearly way too slow
<<< how far'd you get?
nubbins`:
<+danielpbarron> would have to be shipped with SD card already configured if the end user is to just plug in a hard drive and forget about it
<<< that is actually preferable for almost everyone who would buy this
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: adding a problem++ to the list at the cost of a weekend is not on this list
<< astute observation, which is why my patch was specifically labeled as a proof to nail down the locus of the problem, and not an item to be used on the battlefield.
mircea_popescu:
<ascii_field> (a passing draft will drop your channel capacity to nothing ?)
<< BUT DRM IN AUDIO WORKS!!!

danielpbarron: funkenstein_> i refuse to admit that any creature would pay for an app
<< I've paid for a few
ascii_field: 'According to reporting, "1.6 percent of developers earn more than the other 98.4 percent combined. And the bottom 47 percent of engineers earn less than $100 per month." Yet somehow, independent app development has often been described as a 'gold rush' despite it being quietly understood by developers, even as early as 2009, that this was hardly the case.'
<< does this person have any awareness of what the '49 goldrush
ascii_field: mats: leaving us with no real basis for actually figuring out the situation.
<< know perfectly well that we -have- a real basis. any crypto standard promulgated by known malefactors is to be thrown out. and replaced not with iraqi caesar ciphers, no, but with derivation from first principles of perfectly reasonable modern crypto.
pete_dushenski: nubbins`: different tolerance for comforts or lack thereof
<< i guess jamaicans have a higher tolerance for discomfort than i do

<+pete_dushenski> in that case, why bother doing better than fly guts kid ?

<< there's a spectrum of behaviours within the 'poor service' realm
nubbins`:
<+mats> well shit. i guess we're all back to handcrafting our own crypto then huh.
<<< no, that's not what we're saying
chetty:
<nubbins`> this place has done more to fundamentally change my thought processes than six years at university// it is what a uni should be
chetty:
<nubbins`> "anyone else getting tiredof having no control over our surroundings, or the world at large?"// no one ever controls the world at large :P get used to it
nubbins`: "My major concern at the time, because I travel to the states every now and then, is there going to be a red flag when they scan my passport? Is something going to show that I'm bringing in endangered whatever?"
<<< yes, with 100% certainty.
nubbins`:
<< had to sacrifice a few IFDEFS from makefile.osx
assbot: Logged on 24-03-2015 07:14:17; cazalla: mircea_popescu: why let everyone think beauty and brains don't mix ?

cazalla:
<brendafdez> Next time I'll see BingoBoingo I'll try to get him to gpg sign something that says they want my Spanish translations :P
<<< did we not make it clear that they are wanted?
BingoBoingo: brendafdez> bitcoin is like gold. And gold is no less valuable when you can't spend it at a coffe shop. And even if there are large costs to exchange such modest amounts of gold or silver
<< It going take some intermediate step. Instead of trading you highly valuable Bitcoin/Plutonium for coffee you trade it for big bundle of credits at the coffee shop or whatever the local cash sustomarily used for small value trades is
marteen: anyway, even if there's availability of btc
<-> fiat services, i'd much rather avoid the intermediaries (and the banks)
cazalla: brendafdez: indiancandy they are awesome

<<< great tits, great body, but what a busted face she has
