ben_vulpes wonders how this rss bot is built such that it can'
t be tested
ben_vulpes: <williamdunne> Can'
t test /me raises an eyebrow
lobbes doesn'
t really know, just curious
williamdunne: Yeah, that'd be the easyish way, don'
t have a blog I can use to test it on atm
lobbes: can'
t you put a dummy blog in the list and test?
williamdunne: Can'
t test until there is a new post unfortunately
felipelalli: pete_dushenski: I didn'
t know the shortcut "!v", I always type "!verify", thanks.
diatonic: ben_vulpes, I don'
t really know why I lurk in here. I used to be pretty active in #bitcoin-otc and joined this channel some time ago.
diatonic: couldn'
t find that info anywhere
diatonic: I can'
t figure out the new process to !up myself with assbot
mircea_popescu: hopefully this won'
t be the case, but the way moore's law is going...
mircea_popescu: the truth is that for about half of the us, the marginal benefit of spending another 1k per capita on their health is unrecoverable, as they won'
t produce in excess of that 1k. ever.
williamdunne: Yeah, but that one guy isn'
t going to be betting all his money on Just-Dice, collectively there is a lot of value to exploit
lobbes: those 7 billion customers aren'
t necessarily worth more than those 2 million
mircea_popescu: no, there won'
t be. it will be a bunch of fucktarded dudebros, that aren'
t even legal to drink.
lobbes: but it isn'
t the currency that makes your business profitable
williamdunne: Because I don'
t have to talk to everyone using bitcoin at the same time nor put up with their noise (in particular, anyway)
williamdunne: ben_vulpes: Of course it matters, its a network. More people = more useful. I don'
t see how that can be anything but an objective truth.
trinque: I don'
t support anything, much less this
ben_vulpes: i'm saying that "right" doesn'
t matter.
williamdunne: The blocksize is a limiting factor of its usage, 21m doesn'
t thanks to 8 decimal places
trinque: not that 1mb isn'
t the right value
williamdunne: It wouldn'
t be bitcoin of today but it would still be bitcoin
ben_vulpes: man it doesn'
t matter what's needed or wanted or anything
pete_dushenski: i don'
t, i could've just as well said 'like i want a hole in the head'
williamdunne: I don'
t see why you're saying that you'd want the transaction capabilities tied to the number of coins issued though
pete_dushenski: right, it really doesn'
t matter what *i* want so much as what's practically needed
pete_dushenski: i'll try it today but i'm a little stuffed up, still recovering from last week's mega-fiesta, so if it doesn'
t sound great i'll re-do it tmrw
mircea_popescu: somehow hasn'
t seen trilema yet. how often does it poll ?
mircea_popescu: williamdunne yeh, but it resolves none of the fundamental problems. you're still you, she's still her, the situation just got more volatile. just like pushing the gas pedal doesn'
t make one either less drunk or better a driver.
mircea_popescu: how about dentist ? i don'
t recall a dentist ever asking me if it's ok to fuck up my teeth.
williamdunne: If I didn'
t go there for a prostate exam, yeah I'd guess so
mircea_popescu: the guy is a total douche, as far as his emails let on, and the woman is both smarter and more collected than him, for sure. they weren'
t a good fit anyway.
mircea_popescu: williamdunne " what happened ? some derp tied up a professional model he barely knew, and then fingered her. she had no idea he was going to finger her, and didn'
t care for it."
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: I can understand that position, but equally someone walking home, being dragged into a hedge and raped is certainly, most definitely rape - but I don'
t know that backstory of what you're talking about here
williamdunne: I can understand being upset at being raped as-well, assuming it wasn'
t one of the new-fangled versions of "rape"
mircea_popescu: what happened ? some derp tied up a professional model he barely knew, and then fingered her. she had no idea he was going to finger her, and didn'
t care for it.
lobbes: Such an old article that it probably isn'
t worth bothering BB or cazalla to edit, however
williamdunne: Ok, ScoopBot should now be working, won'
t know until someone makes a new post though
mircea_popescu:
http://dpaste.com/29MWTSE << if this isn'
t the mark of complete anomie i have no idea what it'd be. check it out, the un raporteur. ima go hang out with milosevici and gadaffi nao, because derps may not ever be upset!
mircea_popescu: you can'
t mistreat a sixteen year old on the grounds that your 50yo ex wife was a harpy.
ascii_panama: it isn'
t simply about this particular instance of resistance though
mircea_popescu: i don'
t contemplate the notion that resistence is an omen of eventual failure.
ascii_panama: i mean, yes 'we don'
t do solutions' (TM) (R) but what'd you have'em do ?
ascii_panama: and tht what they're spitting isn'
t -really- teeth
mircea_popescu: what happened to him anyway ? wasn'
t he just about to confront the weirdo guy subletting from him when he disappeared ?
williamdunne: Well, I don'
t know where to find it, happy to just use the old list though
mircea_popescu: "I read your update ... I understand how it makes you feel and I understand your concerns ... I am not saying he didn'
t do anything wrong and I think he is the ultimate douchebag mixed with disrespectful on so many levels ... but fetlife has been filled with writings about that list. And having someone's screenname is not exactly going to make it easy to find them in most cities ... so he is actually getting exactly th
ascii_panama: mircea_popescu: it isn'
t like other chat gizmos cost money...?
mircea_popescu: apparently it's popular wherever people don'
t have money.
ascii_panama: 'were they better men, we wouldn'
t be here.' << ?
ascii_panama: but in the abstract - the notion that xxx might reliably have sex, vs a specimen who won'
t, is a 'selling point', yes
mircea_popescu: (hey, she sucks at fucking, which means better men won'
t take her from me!)
ascii_panama: didn'
t remember to take a pic of this idiocy, it was best i could do to avoid sleeping. for:
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell peterl dude i get it, you gotta job, but you can'
t just leave. gotta make arrangements, who's gonna run scoopbot now ? where's the repository ? etc.
mircea_popescu: i suppose asciilifeform won'
t agree he was beheaded, of course, because "still walks".
joeblo: I'm trying to dev up to an API but there doesn'
t seem to be a definite answer for this
mircea_popescu: i was like "but i want the cool rooms, like i had", guy was like "well i hope you don'
t have more than 8 people coming then, because we're not building a patio"
mircea_popescu: i don'
t really understand the magic, but when running varnish hits ~= pages.
mircea_popescu: the idea was that bitcoin isn'
t going to change to accomodate the retail market, principally because the retail market is (necessarily) much too small.
liquidassets: I can'
t remember when or where you said it, but it seems like you're pretty down on bitcoin being used for retail purchases
liquidassets: MP can you elaborate on how you don'
t see bitcoin being retail anything? It seems your thoughts work more in eons, won'
t there will be an in between time where things might not be end game yet
liquidassets: haven'
t caught up with logs since end of c3, felt I was missing out
trinque: gentoo's ebuild doesn'
t look too heinous
trinque: I don'
t think that was a complete run
ascii_launchpad: until it doesn'
t and you're stranded on pluto and now what.
ascii_launchpad: 'To build Apache Bigtop, you apparently first have to install puppet3. Let it download magic data from the internet. Then it tries to run sudo puppet to enable the NSA backdoors (for example, it will download and install an outdated precompiled JDK, because it considers you too stupid to install Java.) And then hope the gradle build doesn'
t throw a 200 line useless backtrace.' << when do we set the biodiesel boilers
assbot: Logged on 22-04-2015 22:21:59; mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes the fact that the imbeciles commenting on that thing stupid shite like "you make a poor assumption that the NSA or whoever couldn'

lobbes: naw I don'
t think they linked to qntra directly, just funny that they did the same scoop a month after us

☟︎ mircea_popescu: it still seems overdramatic to me. chick just didn'
t wanna bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: or, in the words of tiffany, "Who cares if the security let u do this it doesn'
t mean u should have done it"
ascii_lander: l0l as if it wasn'
t clear that gavin will not starve or be reduced to honest work
mats: "MIT is no longer the hallowed Library of Alexandria that shared the Lisp Machine and SICP with the world. Today, its made up of showmen and fools like Gavin, who endeavor to destroy software they don'
t understand, on behalf of a handler. Your relevance fades, and in a decade your cohorts will disavow any knowledge of you. Enjoy your faux relevancy as long
assbot: Logged on 22-04-2015 12:09:29; mircea_popescu: i don'
