mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: i don't know much else about the fellow, except that he famously burned his u.s. passport in public. << what is the actual drawback of this ? i mean other than having to pay 100 bucks or w/e for a new one
mircea_popescu: princessnell, le suck. i think i wrote something sorta going that way recently. it must be pretty bad if it's visible from me.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: afaik, no. but, interestingly, i first heard of him when he came to buy my urbit 'dukedom' << so invite the guy over and rate him ?
princessnell: we've been told our whole lives to behave a certain way or we're stupid and vapid and backwards. so we fight against our nature to conform to the reprogramming.
princessnell: most women know that something is off but can't properly diagnose it. so they go down stupid feminist rabbit holes not knowing that they intensify the problem.
mircea_popescu: mike_c, you know parasuta, ie romanian for parachute, is just one of the numerous ways to say whore.
ThickAsThieves: i thought the whole universe is a trap
mircea_popescu: pankkake: I like to watch things cleaning << you know why that is right ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, something like that.
mircea_popescu: mike_c: the sky is blue. water is blue. you die if submerged in water. therefore, the sky is deadly. << now let's debate about how water is really green and parachutes.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: actual woman << those are sorta disappearing in the west. 'habitat destruction', a biologist might say.
mircea_popescu: i think if i was an actual woman of average means i'd be pretty fucking pissed off tho
mircea_popescu: princessnell, i imagine it must suck for women tho. i mean for me, w/e, i got the tools to impose change in any number of ways.
ThickAsThieves: ascii, terragression = jogging
mircea_popescu: your mistake being evident in that you demand consistency of your mental process.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i think you don't quite understand how these scales work
asciilifeform: let's tera-agression. (what'll that be? a nukefest?)
mircea_popescu: princessnell, i propose this is factual. my main objection with the "west" such as it is today is that there's just too many girls. of both genders. not nearly enojugh women, virtually n omen. it gets stale being in the junior high after a while.
asciilifeform: what'd be a femtoagression? an unkind thought?
princessnell: sure, that is becoming a popular loophole
ThickAsThieves: "someone making unwanted sexual advances toward another person"
mircea_popescu: can men be women too or are they still discriminated against ?
princessnell: sure, if he has enough tweeps to back him up
mircea_popescu: o liek i tell a shill "stfu u shill" and he's all like "don' be microagressin all over my legit biz" ?
assbot: Microaggression - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
mircea_popescu: i dunno, but this mounted policeman was looking at me kinda crooked from out in the street
mircea_popescu: mircea_popescu: have the twitter police come for you yet
asciilifeform: same hearn who tried to slip heartbleed into bitcoind ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: princessnell microagressing ? what's that one ?

mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves, http://www.reddit.com/user/Bitcoin_Error_Log that you ?
mircea_popescu: oic muay thai
asciilifeform: to be fair, i can theoretically conceive of a point - say, a fellow who guesses three wrong keys in front of the bunker is fed to crocodiles.
asciilifeform: or is that a cruel question.
asciilifeform: 'what's the point of mega-bunker, with key, when you can btc store private key just as well'
mircea_popescu: anyone want to relay a question ?
mircea_popescu: o hey, going to have dinner with xapo's head of network
mircea_popescu: whats muy thai ?
mike_c: i haven't seen mpex sponsor a muy thai night. havelock is king.
mircea_popescu: you compleeeetely miss the point.
Apocalyptic: random derps opining on what has taken over bitcoin stocks, a space they probably don't fully grasp
mircea_popescu: "Bitcoin exists so we don't have to put up with that centralization of privileges anymore. MPEX completely misses the point."
Apocalyptic: that thread is pure reddit material
mircea_popescu: i think this is going to be generating a lot of lulz as a going concern.
mod6: all it takes to be a pro is an HTML5 website!
Apocalyptic: " They seem to run things in a much more professional way." // I don't even...
mircea_popescu: "Fortunately, Havelock Investments (also behind Canadian Bitcoins) seems to have taken over Bitcoin stocks, essentially by not being idiots in public and not charging unreasonable fees. They seem to run things in a much more professional way."
mircea_popescu: dude srsly, someone drop him a line, show him the light
Naphex: instead of that shitty stiching of PHP with redis/memcache
mircea_popescu: phinn gage got suspended on trolltalk for being racist ?
Naphex: and what is it with people using redis/memcache instead of rolling their own backend
mircea_popescu: "For a developer, working for Coinzone is lots of fun. You get to work right away on the tasks you like most, and you have the opportunity to do things “right” from the beginning. Everything from coding standards to the framework and technologies used, was up for debate and I got the chance to have a say in it."
mircea_popescu: well it's got a team and a bunch of big red blocks
asciilifeform: (yes, you would no longer have automatic tracking of subscribers. but who needs it?)
asciilifeform: that's just folks who happen to crawl their own copy of blockchain looking for your messages.
asciilifeform: yes. but snippets of ascii sent via coded transactions would map perfectly to the intended use case (want to 'twit' 'at' someone? gotta send them a little coin in the process)
mircea_popescu: it's an economic problem. it has no actual utility/reason to exist, which makes it unassailable fpor short intervals.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, it's not a technological proble,
asciilifeform: incidentally, 'twitter' is a perfect candidate for demolition using blockchain-encoded text (as discussed in the past.)

mircea_popescu: it's actually a control strategy this.
assbot: Re: Representing code as XML: the Flare Programming Language - Naggum cll archive
benkay: old version of language crufts over, has core flaws, inadequate for changing reality, corporate owners sponsor wholesale upgrade, breaking changes, 'community' fails to upgrade libs at large, oldlang has more use than newlang after 2+ years, wholelang dies and corporate masters say "on to the next one!" eg golang?
mircea_popescu: o hey check it out, my twitter got suspended.
benkay: is this thing where python3 kills python* a repeated pattern?
asciilifeform: benkay: the 'master/slave' troll has been done before. re: ata hard disks, years ago.
benkay: i think fsf is god-tier trolling, but i haven't been tracking because you know busy and shit
asciilifeform: and the backlight transformer!
Naphex: am trecut noi solutia noastra pe foc rapid, ma asigur ca deschidem gw-ul de plata. Si trebuie sa vina ceva account manager bun de maine
asciilifeform: (tldr: why did the bureaucrats, when destroying the infamous guardian laptop, sand off the eeproms in mouse, keyboard controllers...)
mircea_popescu: pentru ca puletele nu poa' sa ia un hint si sa fie baiat destept, el tre' neaparat sa se creada tare aiurea.
