punkman: nubbins`: so maybe deedbot shouldn't be stripping the \n at eof
<< it's not really, just doesn't care for anything outside the first and last dash of a gpg message
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: On the otherhand it isn't the slightest bit unbelievable for a dairy cow to drag its titties through cow shit
<<< im pretty sure nobody milks unwashed anymore.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: RetroUpriser: Generally in a steak if there was a pathogen of conern you'd see/smell the abcess and wonder then the cow got into a knife fight
<< nah, most of the stuff youi can get that way you don't see.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: real reason: it is an extraordinarily expensive, multi-generational project to keep the entire field from developing.
<<< what sense does that make ?
RetroUpriser: I suppose, but im a huge fan so the risk
< reward
BingoBoingo:
<mircea_popescu> nobody ever goes "you shitfaces, THIS opportunity you missed. all of you."
<< My brother the dentist does if you get him drunk.
mircea_popescu: "Seriously, I bet the ‘model’ is some kind of gunky spreadsheet. Or something little better, anyway. A mishmash of data being shoved together to reach predetermined conclusions, with tons of ad hoc assumptions. "
<< sounds like exactly dub's brew :D
mircea_popescu:
<BingoBoingo> Actual soft for yes, but "if all the miners accept" softfork is a hardfork
<< "all miners accept" means what ?
PeterL: mrjr:thestringpuller: i'll work on getting my creds in order :) meni rosenfeld is one of our investors, and our cto Shaul Kfir was a reviewer for the sidechain paper.
<< wasn't Meni Rosenfeld connected with a GLBSE scam?
mircea_popescu: was famous before mullenderp raped poetry a new hole, because you could tell from all the
<hea
<he
</head>ad>>> mess that it had been used.
mircea_popescu: "Is that a real program or is that something somebody wrote?"
<< ah yea, now this makes sense. i had the exact same notion, for exactly the same reason. a "real program" was something that didn't need to use the z80 basic interpreter, wasn't editable for this reason, and this immutability was cool. then on the msdos system, .exe binaries exactly mapped on this same structure of cool.
nubbins`:
<+mircea_popescu> unless you actually self publish.
<<< preach it
cazalla: mircea_popescu: icecream has been a part of rations since vietnam
<<< lt dan, icecream!
BingoBoingo:
<asciilifeform> to get their teeth done.
<< One cousin enlisted for this reason. Now afraid of dentists.
mircea_popescu: "Charge based on letter by Frein calling for revolution"
<< :D
nubbins`:
<jurov> EATS THE TRAILING NEWLINE
<<< fwiw deeds eats the trailing \n
joecool:
<mircea_popescu> even stalin was (and roughly stayed) an anarchist.
< would you expound on this a bit? I have never seen that viewpoint expressed
mircea_popescu:
<jurov> here: 0000000 696c 656e 0a31 696c 656e 2032 0a5c
<< seems correct endian ?
mircea_popescu:
<asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: the definition of poverty!
<< say moar
<<< sarcasm, the lowest form of wit.
mircea_popescu: rithm: it's cryptowall now and from what i can tell it's infected sites like mom & pop's ruinning old WP/drupal/some CMS
<<< yeah, stuff the shitheads in question don't maintain, then i have to answer biweekly questions of "is qntra down". off with their heads i say!
☟︎ mircea_popescu: joecool: poweliks is a really interesting infection that often pulls in the cyperlocker ransomware, that hit the wild a couple months ago
<< look at that, someone took the trouble to make a trojan that works on all windowses to date ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: gotta love these idiots. when'll somebody edit, rather than simply wiping, the case files ?
<< the one time you'll never hear about it, because how would you.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: let's put it this way. a pile of usd without at least seven or eight decimally-significant zeros trailing after it, would make absolutely no difference to how i live.
<<< this is like... the definition of poverty!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: jurov: except that i can't use paper usd for anything
<< do what the soon-to-be-"protected" folk do, use a rechargeable prepaid card lol
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: mircea_popescu ^^^^^
< at this level it is difficult to distinguish simple idiocy riding on featuritis (because nobodies wish to get a place in the sun, and absent actual skils what better avenue trhan the pretense of adding value ?) and actual malice as oyu describe.
chetty:
<mircea_popescu> this "innovation" is the fucking thing bitcoin was made to kill.//so they make a lot of messes, thats how kiddies learn and once in a while something useful actually gets invented
mircea_popescu: mrjr: thestringpuller: i'll work on getting my creds in order :) meni rosenfeld is one of our investors, and our cto Shaul Kfir was a reviewer for the sidechain paper.
<<< myewah, the surprises keep right on coming
mircea_popescu: mrjr: there's edge cases with malleability etc, but the benefits are that bitcoin operations can have their coins kept in a tx form, not as the information of the privkey
<< this is so braindamaged i can'teven be bothered.
mircea_popescu: mrjr: multisig is useful to protect access to privkey, by splitting the power of moving funds to 2+ entities. we pre-sign transactions, nlocked in time, and discard the private key.
<<< and i know that you do because... you say so ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: there is precisely one enemy. but with many tentacles.
<<< one you see now. once china's idiotic mr Xi shows up you'll be of a differing opinion. that fuckwit came up with a "war on corruption" that includes the theory that conjugal infidelity is both a sign and a symptom of graft. this is what they do over there now, prosecute cocksuckers & sluts.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: hence, they add up to an act of sabotage. what probably amounts to a hard fork that 'no one' noticed.
<< i dun think so, fwiw
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: at this point, the enemy is enemy not simply because of what he does or may do, but because of what he has done and what he is.
<<< well, at the previous point the enemy was not an enemy at all, just a bunch of derps. it's ony recently that trilema went from "power rangers" to "gavin has turned", and for a while there prior to the 2013 debacle he was not even being treated in concordance with the idiocy
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: its a pretty neat feature for say senior to give jr. allotments of capital at guarenteed future date
<< there are better solutions to this problem.
mircea_popescu: assbot: Cloud&Heat is putting servers in homes and offices and the heat from them is free.
<< o look, one step closer to the bitcoin miner heating tile element.
☟︎ thestringpuller: asciilifeform: can't imagine i'm the only one, though.
<< you aren't
jurov:
<asciilifeform> punkman: germany has same electric rates for residential and commercial lines
<< they do have lower wholesale prices where you have to obey the grid management regime, dunno about details
Pierre_Rochard: “i'll work on getting my creds in order :)”
<- translation: “I won’t work on that, and here’s an insincere smile to really reinforce what I think of it”
thestringpuller: nubbins`: so instead of 18 bulbs, the guy pulls... three.
<< so now you have to wait another 10 weeks to get the next 15 you need?
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: know thy enemy
<< enemies are only relative. yesterday's allies easily become tomorrow's enemies. (perhaps maybe a one way street).
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 13-11-2014 01:46:06; asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: bip-0065
<< classic 'relevance farming.' the phoundation will take any excuse to add cruft to the gizmo. in their fantasy, folks will use it, and those who have resisted their turds will be forced to merge in.
mircea_popescu: jurov: gpg: BAD signature from "Adlai Chandrasekhar
<<< wait his real name is actually adlai ?!
bagels7:
<+mircea_popescu>I'm so poor I can't afford your articles yet
mircea_popescu:
<xanthyos> if a bank calls me up suspicously i will turn it on them. how dare you bother a long standing customer!
<< lmao this works, yeah.
mircea_popescu:
<bagels7> What do you expect from this WoT, Is fraud a concern
<< that didn't parse. say wut ?
mircea_popescu:
<Adlai> either goal can be accomplished from either starting point
<< that is a judgement.
jurov: * punkman is furiously trying to undelete
<< lol and i have multi-day multi-machine job that invokes OOM killer every coupla hours. i can live with it.
jurov: gpg: BAD signature from "Adlai Chandrasekhar
<adlai.chandrasekhar@gmail.com>"..iirc i sent you some instructions what to fix, did you get anything form gribble?
Adlai: crashed in between a sell and a buy, so i sat through this rally in fiat >_
< gribble: pankkake was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 5 weeks, 3 days, 20 hours, and 11 seconds ago:
<pankkake> here is 0.000195.
decimation: re: satellites
<< plus they occupy electromagnetic spectrum that could be put to otherwise productive use
mircea_popescu: decimation> so your point is that the lack of egalitarianism did not foster a culture?
<< my point being that culture is strictly a matter of time. how people organise is irrelevant. which also means there's no shortcuts.
ben_vulpes:
<asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: the great fork war is inevitable. and we know what is on their side of the line. but what is on the other? the miners' mystery forks? our gadget, that doesn't even load the blockchain?
<< consider the gadget a piece of art. as always, the miners determine everything.
ben_vulpes: *** assbot (~assbot@unaffiliated/kakobrekla/bot/assbot) has changed mode for #bitcoin-assets to +v JorgePasada
<< where's my node, bitch
