MisterE: still a problem as of a year or so ago
benkay: well as you can see it's written in english
Mats_cd03: pretty easy job as i understand it
MisterE: a soldier responsible for tasks such as building and repairing roads and bridges, laying and clearing mines, etc.
diametric: I would however pay handsomely for a buttsex button that worked as advertised.
BingoBoingo: TestingUnoDosTre: Works just find if you leave the information out as well
TestingUnoDosTre: this is what classifies as corny, for the record https://soundcloud.com/alunageorge/this-is-how-we-do-it
mircea_popescu: By this time, the city was swelling with apprentices, and the adult population was finding them more difficult to control, says Barbara Hanawalt. As early death from infectious disease became rarer the apprentices faced a long wait to take over from their masters. "You've got quite a number of young men who are in apprenticeships who have got no hope of getting a workshop and a business of their own," says Jeremy Goldb
ThickAsThieves: as long as you maintain a hint of rabbi, i'm cool with it
mircea_popescu: as per the log :p
ninjashogun: also, anyone who lists "psychology" as an interest is dead to me. They are beyond crazy, and without exception. I don't know a single marker as predictive of mental instability as interest in psychology.
ninjashogun: holy #$@ mirceau you sure know how to pick them. But I would never go for a woman with such an intellectually provocative public profile. Only the ones who keep that to themselves (as I do). makes everything easier :) :)
mircea_popescu: princessnell as opposed to eskimo nell ?
benkay: not as though 2fa really helps if your counterparties are incompetent
mircea_popescu: but as ridiculous as it may seem, a lot of older people have serious trouble coping with the idea that well... not everybody is going to like them. no matter what they do.
mircea_popescu: as if, you know. everybody loves raymond or some shit.
mircea_popescu: srsly now, as an engineer, if you're any good and you got to be old, how the fuck would you actually need a salary
TestingUnoDosTre: the SEC has been calling people as well as emailing? I didn't realize they worked so much
ninjashogun: Do you think the bitcoin phenomenon counts as one?
User__: what about as an online wallet?
benkay: not as many as i once did
ninjashogun: Mats_cd03, asciilifeform and mirceau-p's Cardano - a physical device that escrows private keys and signs documents passed to it over USB - stored passwords as plaintext on the theory that a loss or theft should be considered catastrophic anyway. So storing in plaintext means people will practice better opsec
dexX7: (i submitted the tx as raw on bci, that's why they are at least there)
Mats_cd03: i consulted for a place once where all the user, admin passwords were plaintext and shared the same excel file as the auth for the hvac systems and scif
nubbins`: nah all AS/400
dexX7: i have the problem of a confirmed transformation that is shown as unconfirmed on bc.i and doesn't exist on blockr
dexX7: do you use blockchain.info as source?
ninjashogun: I'm no expert on neuroscience but I have sought out their opinions. Funny, the same as I've done here for financial info. The difference is that they didn't troll for it.
Mats_cd03: are we going to continue discussing genetics and biology as though theres an expert in here
ninjashogun: and in lighter news today - http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9247096/ATM_operators_eye_Linux_as_alternative_to_Windows_XP
dexX7: if it works indeed with ",", it's funny, because the balance is shown as "x.y"
ninjashogun: Duffer1, No I'm not involved with Cog. I just know that as far as this person is concerned Goat is very trustworthy.
ninjashogun: (insane as in insanely high.)
ninjashogun: but we have a theoretical proof that the architecture of the brain is somehow encoded into under 700 MB. (well under that, as that encodes the full human body.)
ninjashogun: Also don't forget that we know for a fact that the architecture in the brain is encoded in no more than 700 MB totally uncompressed. That is how much the human genome takes to encode as simple bits (adenine(A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T) encoded as two bits each). With some compression that's even less.
midnightmagic: for the foreseeable future, there is no computer even contemplated that could model the human brain as we understand it right now, let alone as new discoveries arrive.
ninjashogun: "Although different neurons fire at different speeds, as a rough estimate it is reasonable to estimate that a neuron can fire about once every 5 milliseconds, or about 200 times a second"
mircea_popescu: the letters are old, and as respectable as they ever were.
mircea_popescu: read that whole set, you'll be ahead of about half the group of folk that identify as finance-anythign
mircea_popescu: then the band wanted to sign me up as their manager
mircea_popescu: and more interestingly so than the white equivalent, dearly loved as "pc speak"
MisterE: it's tropical here so I wear as little as possible and there's no style there heh
ThickAsThieves: just how they are being presented as 'style'
mircea_popescu: just as useful as any free market data service
ThickAsThieves: as useful as any google search i guess
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves because otherwise all their unjustifiable expenses stand out as a sore thumb
artifexd: I guess I get to test code in production, as it were.
ozbot: Interacting with fiat institutions [such as the SEC], a guide
mircea_popescu: so in general expect pump and dumps to be punctured randomly and outside of the originator's control going forward, so as to hurt the originator and his friends.
cazalla: MisterE: I would only get away talking like this at the pub, not in general public, there are just as many who would disagree with me but they typically want to pile on for the free shit from the government
MisterE: fucking life sucks if this is good as it gets
MisterE: yea, given the human condition as I see it it's understandable
cazalla: bounce: conservative values were destroyed and here we are, least that is what i see it as, evils of feminism and all that
MisterE: at least it is not as big and bad as the mess US baby boomers are leaving to their grandchildren
cazalla: but they're hanging around for as long as they can because the pension isn't enough to sustain them
cazalla: anyway, i think the situation is too far gone here in Australia as it likely has in the rest of the world
Diablo-D3: I almost do as much
Diablo-D3: its okay to go back to the land, as long as you do responsibly
cazalla: MisterE: and I'm hostile (some would say hateful) because I am paying for it as is the rest of the middle class and we're jack of it
cazalla: MisterE: they don't want a better life, they want to live in the bush as they did before the British came here, I am happy for them to do that, government is not and they keep throwing money at them
Diablo-D3: lawsuits here as well
Diablo-D3: you have many rights as an american
cazalla: as the middle class see them getting something we're not plus we pay for it
MisterE: your country is hardly as fucked up
MisterE: cazalla: no matter where you trade there is manipulation so might as well trade on the exchange where it mostly happens so you can see it
chetty: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/23/world/asia/nsa-breached-chinese-servers-seen-as-spy-peril.html?hp&_r=0
MisterE: [23:23:48] mircea_popescu: Ghaleon as you approach mastery you'll notice the leet asshole is an epic bridge builder type.
asciilifeform: the fuel in a 'fire job' (as curtis lemay called it) is the kindling you blast the buildings into during the prelude
mircea_popescu: joecool that can't be right, mostly because nuclear power is economical as compared to burning oil.
mircea_popescu: and as the countries spending billions on them like the people to continue to believe.
decimation: indeed, nuclear bombs aren't nearly as dangerous as people like to believe
mircea_popescu: as long as nobody uses them it's "those incredibly, exceedingly, unrepresentably powerful weapons". after a dozen or so pop it's like... those very expensive, inaccurate things.
mircea_popescu: decimation no, as in a little fucking and public speaking is required for adults.
decimation: as in a little radiation is good for you?
asciilifeform: (as in simulated annealing)
asciilifeform: all i personally have is a very thoroughly weathered (from abuse as a student) magnetic board.
diametric: asciilifeform: so if you post on reddit with +/u/CompileBot language \n\n [ code ], it will run that code and post it as a reply.
asciilifeform: as a matter of fact i do.
diametric: mircea_popescu: oppo has the only phone on the market currently running cyanogen that's been certified by google as well
mircea_popescu: the more likely explanation is probably that they're not actually as smart as they see themsekves.
cazalla: I'm your average person, can't keep up with some of the conversation here, need to go and google words for definitions and so forth but I'm here (got started in Bitcoin nov 2012) so I would expect others who are average to start turning up as I have
mircea_popescu: my cock really doesn't taste as bad as people tell themselves.
mircea_popescu: i can't sell enough us, as far as i'm concerned.
mircea_popescu: obviously my client splits it up as pula ski
asciilifeform: i had a dream as a kid where me modem (old at&t 'paragon' fished from a skip) was a gas modem, and i forgot to turn off the gas
ninjashogun: Mats_cd03, I worked for a startup that was acquired, as one of just two employees. Yes, I know how typical funded startups operate.
ninjashogun: decimation, as I mentioned before we are at the pre-financing stage - the startup is not raising money right now. I know a lot of stories of people who built great things with burn rates near $0. Airbnb is now closing a round at $10B. They sold cereal to launch.
benkay: seems as though you're the only one.
decimation: he's a high-functioning troll, as best as anyone can gather
ninjashogun: asciilifeform, if only one tenth of thefts actually resulted in the key becoming known to the thief - would there be exactly ten times as many thefts as a result?
ninjashogun: asciilifeform, for example if you introduced an architectural change that, as a direct result, meant half of thefts did not result in key becoming accessible to thief - would there be instantly twice as many thefts as a result?
asciilifeform: just as diamonds, pistols, nukes, are lost and stolen
asciilifeform: zeroize key is as old as time.
asciilifeform: as discussed in mp's essay
ninjashogun: decimation, so this relates to an architectural discussion I had with asciilifeform on it. Specifically, a very GOOD reason not to include ANY second factor, not even the most trivial one (such as not writing your name and bitcoin address on the Cardano) is because any second factor will INCREASE the risky behavior in its users.
ninjashogun: by deep check I mean you can get to know them deeply, even run medical tests, as well as trust their behavior on a deep level, as you do with your brothers and sisters for example.
ninjashogun: I thought about some of the architectural things you point out re cardano. As a practical question, how do we determine the limits of risk compensation arguments?
mircea_popescu: they are as much a part of life as hot water and kitchen appliances, and moreover prerequisite to both.
mircea_popescu: analog dusted old binders are as of yet an unsolved problem
decimation: certainly those who desire attention would be willing to pay to work as a teacher, actor, etc
