mircea_popescu: i suspect
this is deliberate. if people wanted interactive
they wouldn't do online porn,
they'd get a gf.
HeySteve: heh I
tried
that sexgangsters
thing, didn't seem very interactive
tho
rithm: looks like a reocurring 34.99 if I've ever seen anything like
that
rithm: nice pattern
though
rithm: or black boxes instead of blur filters
to redact
HeySteve: ok disabled
the auto-reconnect
rithm: get with
the
times
rithm: yeah my shell is prepaid up
to like 2017
mircea_popescu: HeySteve you can prolly set your client not
to auto-reconnect
HeySteve: if I forget
to disconnect before I go
to sleep it can get spammy
mircea_popescu: people can want
to minimize delays if
they're
trying
to log a chan, but here
the logs are published anyway.
rithm: raise
the roof hobana
mircea_popescu: as a rule of
thumb, i would say it's a great idea
that if one's using a bouncer,
that one sets
the bouncer up so if it fails
three
times in five minutes it stops
trying and shoots
the owner an email or something. join/part spam is definitely annoying in all channels, even if most won't do anything about it.
mircea_popescu: moreover, buterin in particular is very very guilty, because he knew what he should have done, and he's known it for a long fucking
time.
mircea_popescu: is also
to blame, by any conceivable definition of blame.
mircea_popescu: Rassah: p.s. I'm not saying
their etherium deal is a good one. I don't
think investing in ether can in any way give a better return
than investing in bitcoin... I don't
think vitalik is much of a finance guy, either, so I'm not sure if
this "ipo" ca be blamed on him << what
the fuck sense does
this make ? some guy
that's not a finance guy involving himself in finance
things is stupid by any conceivable definition of
th
mircea_popescu: Rassah: My
tribe consists of
Tsiolkovsky and
Tozoni, so I've been surrounded by extremely intimidating levels of inteligence... < if
that means konstantin, wasn't
the guy dead before
the war ?
mircea_popescu: there's a whole discussion of
the statement of
these views as put forward by franco's republic a week or
two ago in
the logs.
mircea_popescu: "bolshevism is
that jew-sponsored form of satanism
that alters
the moral fiber of good law abiding men making
them beasts"
mircea_popescu: “UNDER capitalism”, ran
the old Soviet-era joke, “man exploits man. Under communism it is just
the opposite.” In fact new research suggests
that
the Soviet system inspired not just sarcasm but cheating
too: in East Germany, at least, communism appears
to have inculcated moral laxity. << for
the record,
this is older
than electricity.
jurov: i guess someone preannounced
they will sell for btc
jurov: what makes you
think aliens will be good at bjs?
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell midnightmagic i dun see a problem in principle either, but i was
trying
to examine
this "salt is hard
to mine"
theory. anyway.
mircea_popescu: mutate_ well, you could start working on crumbling
that pile of impactions resulting from being bulied ? learn
to linux ?
fluffypony: mutate_: easy, just get yourself
taken up for some probing
mutate_: I'm fairly keen on being in
the queue for one of
the first alien blowjobs, before
the novelty wears off and
they start marrying humans and making
them unhappy. Unfortunately I can't by any magic Ether cards because maths and computers got you fairly badly bullied at school and so I simply use a computer
to have my bank details stolen from and know nothing whatsoever about Linux. What can I do?
benkay: <BingoBoingo> HANDSofSTEEL: If you really want
to go long on ethereum, mircea_popescu wants
to go short. I'd advise reading up on ethereum criticism before doing anything rash
though. // it's magically also a bet
that nothing'll be around in 9/12 mos.
mike_c: adrrr_: you are bringing up a sore subject. we
try not
to discuss his
tendency
to
talk in 3rd person.
jurov doesn't always
talk in 3rd person. but when he does, he uses /me
mircea_popescu: well cause it ain't making any sense. why do you chew
the scenery ?
mike_c: mike_c
thinks you aren't making any sense.
mircea_popescu: this is going well. can you point
to such an instance ?
adrrr_: mircea_popescu: why do you
talk in
the
third person?
jurov: or you wait for someone
to bid?
jurov: mircea_popescu when will be
the
the other DERPs offered?
mod6: oh, ok. in
that case, I'll probably just leave it as is. unless its like, weeks or something.
mod6: is
the domain mpex.co finished? I've updated
the key in my script, just wondering if I should s/mpex.co/mpex.bz|mpex.ws/
mircea_popescu: "omg ew
this is
totally different
than all
the
things going into other
things i've seen
today!" << lol
mircea_popescu: not like
there's any sort of
talent pool involved, or like
they'd ever run out.
mircea_popescu: if anyone can be bothered
to shoot
them,
they should be able
to
mircea_popescu: i don't get
this whole "security detail" bullshit for politicians and bureaucrats.
chetty: well you just can't let kids see
the emperors new clothes
mike_c: tmq often rants about gov't officials at even much lower levels with
their ridiculous
tax-payer funded security details fouling up
things for everyone else with
their special
traffic
treatment.

ThickAsThieves: “I promise you even before
this speech is over I’ll be attacked as a hater or a bigot or someone who is anti-gay,” Rubio said. “This intolerance in
the name of
tolerance is hypocrisy. Support for
the definition of marriage as one man and one woman is not anti-gay, it is pro-traditional marriage.”
mircea_popescu: fluffypony sounds
to me like someone just got
told "you can't be mp, stop
trying"
fluffypony: ideas in
this manner.
Try
to just present
the facts without all of
the colorful nonsense."
fluffypony: "It's a shame because you make great points, but you express
them in a manner
that is all over
the place bordering on incoherent. Not
to mention, you unintentionally come off as a bully calling people fascists, etc, and criticizing people in such vitriolic ways just because
their views don't match your own perfectly.
To be honest, I agree with you, but I can't imagine you're doing anything but preaching
to your own choir by expressing your
pankkake: why would anyone reply

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves "we made
the country suck how dare you leave now" is how it works
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: it reported as up when I visited it, hate
the game not

ThickAsThieves: "President Barack Obama plans
to go on
the offensive later
Thursday against companies
that use cross-border mergers
to avoid U.S.
taxes, accusing
them of essentially renouncing
their American citizenship
to shield profits. "

Pierre_Rochard: nubbins`: a 0% LTV is not a wise idea, nor is never
taking an airplane
to minimize risk of death
Pierre_Rochard: nubbins`: meh, very simplistic layperson’s view
there. DSCR > 2 and LTV < 50% is prudent
