assbot: Logged on 20-03-2014 14:20:09; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'cum se suge pula' << can't help but associate this in my head with the finnish proverb, 'Pillu se on pulullakin' ☟︎

mircea_popescu: you know foxy, at this rate you ain't roasting jack.
ben_vulpes: "one shouldn't be a doctor" << the doctoring's forced on one

mircea_popescu: well, if it doesn't im sure march will.

decimation: I can't find good data, but it is pretty well known that usg entities purchase 30 year fixed loans
mircea_popescu: phillipsjk: The users installing those routers probably don't even play with computer networks as a hobby. It is the manufacturers, not the end-users' fault that UPnP is exposed to the Internet. <<< ther atrocity known as unpnp exists in the first place because people who do not know how to use computers wish nevertheless to use computers, and then complain to people running servers that "doesn't work".

mircea_popescu: ;;later tell phillipsjk you can't reason on any topic on the rotten basis of socialist propaganda.
assbot: That ain't the Maslow pyramid, yo! pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1z0o6x1 )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu and anyone else waiting for s.nsa broadcast - it will appear shortly after i get a little sleep now. can't believe i blew a whole saturday on the pocket node thing.

mircea_popescu: i don't even ?!
mircea_popescu: mebbe i don't understand so well what you're asking
mircea_popescu: well "About" isn't a source eh ?
mircea_popescu: The sad irony? It wasn't old or overdone when they did it. But the things it created were so brilliant and popular, they became woven into the fabric of that show's genre. They ended up being taken for granted, copied and endlessly repeated. Although they often began by saying something new, they in turn became the status quo.
mircea_popescu: in other news, one doesn't hate you for the things about you that make you great, one hates you for the things about you that make his shit no longer work.
mircea_popescu: it can't be less than 50mb ?!
phillipsjk: The users installing those routers probably don't even play with computer networks as a hobby. It is the manufacturers, not the end-users' fault that UPnP is exposed to the Internet.

decimation: aye, one can't keep a chumpatron going if it kills the chumps
pete_dushenski: I would recommend you sell your bitcoins and buy your alts you were just pumping , because holding onto MPcoin won't be wise. At least with litecoin and peercoin you will lose your investments at a slower pace.
cazalla: still a coinbase despite telling the faithful that coinbase will add litecoin and that he'll leave if they don't
pete_dushenski: and now lee is presumably sipping mai tais somewhere because i swear he hasn't made a peep in 12 months
cazalla: no proof of course but i wouldn't put it past a guy to do that.. a guy that is willing to get up in front of a room and admit what he says isn't true but that it's OK because "marketing"
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i did not know this, but it isn't very surprising.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> the 'cynical' answer would be that he didn't give a flying fuck about asic resistance in the general sense, but planned to build own asic << There was drama about a collaborator of his GPU mining this GPU unminable coin from the start
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: at least litecoin didn't have a phoundation crudding it up to its gills over a period of years
asciilifeform: i can't honestly say that i care very much why.
asciilifeform: the 'cynical' answer would be that he didn't give a flying fuck about asic resistance in the general sense, but planned to build own asic.
cazalla: so no, i don't buy that litecoin was anything more than the creation of your stereotypical chink who knocks shit off
asciilifeform: for those who weren't tuned in a year ago,
cazalla: asciilifeform, coblee admits his silver analogy doesn't make sense but continues with it anyway.. doesn't sound genuine to me at all
asciilifeform: because it was the first unixlike which couldn't be nudged out of existence this way
asciilifeform: this didn't affect the 'workstation' folks, until it did.
asciilifeform couldn't be arsed to load it into the truck

decimation: cheap stuff doesn't
danielpbarron: onewhosits, idk -- it doesn't matter anyway; the tails guys aren't in the WoT
onewhosits: danielpbarron. No, actually i didn't. Should've. Is there a common problem with modified tailos installs?
asciilifeform: no, haven't used it, can't see why pay real money for ~25MHz ceiling
danielpbarron: didn't i read something like that already today?
assbot: Successfully added a rating of 1 for teward with note: guy whose name starts with t.
mircea_popescu: !rate teward 1 guy whose name starts with t.
teward: kakobrekla: probably nickserv expiry - haven't used that nick in eons
teward: but now i can't !up
teward: can't auth as a nick that was stolen from me
asciilifeform: 'In other words: the choice of C is the only sane choice. I know Miles Bader jokingly said "to piss you off", but it's actually true. I've come to the conclusion that any programmer that would prefer the project to be in C++ over C is likely a programmer that I really *would* prefer to piss off, so that he doesn't come and screw up any project I'm involved with.'
teward: BingoBoingo: can't - 150+ channels would be screaming
teward: BingoBoingo: and it says I can't
teward: if it doesn't it needs retooled
teward: so i learned something - assbot doesn't realize I have +2 level2 rep with it o.o
assbot: Trader Life /whaleclubco http://t.co/f2Ws58HqL6
cazalla: mircea_popescu, what i don't get is that on reddit, you see the idea of a paywall and microtransactions always discussed as bitcoin's killer app and yet when they come across it being implemented, they cry scam
assbot: Third pass addressing the more common pseudo-arguments raised by the people that like the Gavin scamcoin proposal: http://t.co/oQfE8dIu1s
mircea_popescu: "all internet security is a slow, half-assed, dubious reimplementation of gossipd. pity gossipd itself doesn't exist yet."
asciilifeform: anyone know if these cheap shit chinese dlsr lenses are good enough << can't speak for the dslr ones, but chinese c-mounts (microscope, in my case) are entirely acceptable
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: If it can't the exercise would reveal a lower bound to target.
punkman: as to the chinese lenses, they mostly work, many don't fill the entire frame though
mircea_popescu: funny how this wasn't a consideration before, because "unanimous."
mircea_popescu: "A sampling of 30% of average forum users isn't the same as 30% of the community, and certainly not the ecosystem. In reality individual users and organizations carry different weight. At the end of the day people who believe in Bitcoin (and invest their money into it) will do what they can to protect that value. The fork which has the most economic value will be the one most likely to survive with confidence of those
punkman: probably won't do anything without javascript though
mats: you mean they weren't mining to begin with? the horror.
mircea_popescu: they'd roast the vanishingly small african community if those dudes didn't run so fasty.
mircea_popescu: hey, i didn't tell you to spend all day typing ruby or w/e you do. boost.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell cjc doesn't really matter
cjc: I was on one of these Trilema pages earlier today, but didn't understand what the Lord of Bitcoins page was all about when I landed there linked from an article.
mircea_popescu: (doctors don't sleep either. allegedly for different reasons._)
cjc: I wouldn't be surprised if it was part of the issues I experienced with morgan.freenode.net this year.
mircea_popescu: but it doesn;t have to be!!
