cjc: Channel population hasn'
t changed too dramatically in the last decade in #gentoo where I spend most of my time.
mircea_popescu: seems to me kinda drifting without rudder, hoping it won'
t meet any serious icebergs.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo that is actually the theory i've "come up with" myself. << I've accepted that the American conditioning to remove all the flavors if it isn'
t explicitly done to cultivate stupid, continues with stupid accepted as a positive side effect.

ben_vulpes: cjc: wouldn'
t stand for "chicago journal of commerce" by any chance?
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: Tell then their link doesn'
t work. A url encased in parenthesis can not be clicked.
danielpbarron: that's not the problem; the script doesn'
t change directory properly after the permission error
punkman: "open source as long as the chinese don'
t copy it"
ben_vulpes: fluffypony: doesn'
t really cover the apparently epic dependency graph of btcd
fluffypony: don'
t you just run Go apps, without precompiling them?
ben_vulpes: conformal, btcd, compiling << btcd won'
t even compile on a vps with ~600 mb of ram. OOM kill.
BingoBoingo: cazalla: I don'
t really know men's tennis. Kind of a sport for the girlies.
fluffypony: eg. I don'
t think they created Go or AngularJS because they felt benevolent
trinque: BingoBoingo: later yelled at me that he wasn'
t american, and also leave britney alone
mircea_popescu: this isn'
t about one idiot guy going around at parties dressed up as satoshi. this is about how americanism failed and fails, at home and abroad.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: gavin andresen is unchangeably biased against solutions that preserve scarcity semantics. <<< that's not even it. a princeton graduate that lives in amherst mass and has suckled the usg privilege tit all his life to the exclusion of anything else is going to make it so we can'
t verify bitcoin transactions or integrity anymore in order to "save africa" by allowing them microtransactions they don'
t either nee
jurov: midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: i don'
t see the bash as place to put mollification statements, they need to be funnier. it's in the log already, just have the url handy at all times
pete_dushenski: the efforts of moslems maybe "clearly doesn'
t work" at the superficial intention, but it seems to be successful a recruiting new folks
mircea_popescu: anyway, to save teh noobs : in no case am i proposing that the bizarro atrocities of the muslims, stereotypically grouped above under " stoning innocent girls in the road" are an effectual approach to the problem [of overrepresentation of woman in their own mental space]. it clearly doesn'
t work, but then again it's clearly what they're trying. and obviously it's not the god damned women's fault that dudes are all hang
mircea_popescu: <pete_dushenski> so how does titling an article "the problems of stupid people" circumvent this term of art ? << which term ? and nah, it doesn'
t.
mircea_popescu: anyway, back to the problems of the stereotypical jew : same problem as shared by all middle eastern cultures, from bulgaria to iran : that the woman is overimportant in the culture. unlike the other eastern cultures however, the jew has very little means to address this problem. can'
t quite start stoning innocent girls in the road.
mircea_popescu: see, there's a stereotype of a dumb blonde, there isn'
t a stereotype of a hot blonde.
pete_dushenski: but that doesn'
t mean author x is going to stake his claim on a stereotype
mircea_popescu: in any case ; meat is not particularly energetic. fat is, but fat is widely available outside of animals : one could for instance eat nothing but aguacate and become really really smart - except it doesn'
t work in practice.
BingoBoingo: For the next time I have to link someone the stylesheet because they don'
t believe it exists.
BingoBoingo: I just can'
t wait for someone to dig up the shoop in 2 years and be like "Qntra advertised GAW" which will of course be refuted by the lol'ing here
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: If he actually dicked with the precarious balance where we don'
t look like shit on mobile... I'da had some stronger words
assbot: Logged on 28-01-2015 05:48:29; asciilifeform: 1) nixed zlib. it isn'
t used in bitcoin! it was demanded by demented fucktarded 'boost' > 1.53, iirc (won'
t even let you cut it off)
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> 'velveeta' iirc isn'
t even a dairy product << Velveeta is totally a dairy byproduct
decimation: asciilifeform: you wouldn'
t prefer a slice of 'velveeta' to a block of cheddar of known provenance?
mircea_popescu: "you're really good but we can'
t hire you because no diploma"
mircea_popescu: but notice the guy who essentially says, "i can not eat this butter because it doesn'
t come in a properly labelled box"
mircea_popescu: "It's hard to take any of his thoughts seriously when he says stuff like 'libertard', which isn'
t clear what that has to do with his main point, or if he means retarded liberal or libertarian."
Apocalyptic: <cazalla> wow, they fkn locked the fork off thread because hey.. can'
t have actual blocksize increase discussion can you.. // this is outrageous, but not unexpected
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It used to be they couldn'
t fake as many
decimation: why didn'
t you bring your concerns to the community so they can try and find a solution together?
hanbot: nah, apparently that one wasn'
t indecent enough for a year of jail
ben_vulpes: a thing i learned about engineering when i was...oh, six...was that the steam engine doesn'
t just work because doodz sat and tweaked at it until everything went around just rightly.
mircea_popescu: it's not much unlike someone going around trying to pass gavincoin for "real bitcoin", which we don'
t stand for.
midnightmagic: I'm not sure but I think that non-US citizens can'
t be tried for treason..
ben_vulpes: don'
t call the funny stuff funny, midnightmagic, they might erect you your own gibbet
midnightmagic: so. no offence, I'm pretty sure you guys aren'
t actually real seditionists, but I wanted to be on the record about what I think about violence.
mircea_popescu: you wouldn'
t have known there's such a thing as "french partisans" if there wasn'
t a 1945, either)
davout: asciilifeform: yeah, there's that but unless you're maliciously partitioned away from the legit network it wouldn'
t be trivial to fool you
davout: mircea_popescu: yeah well, if honest cartels don'
t make it we can only hope about "maybe assurance contracts, maybe bonded identies tied to transaction fees"
trinque: doesn'
t matter though, nanny bama will burn your house down if you try to introduce hierarchy
trinque: mircea_popescu: doesn'
t what someone is paid quantify it ultimately anyway?
trinque: but doesn'
t have to be flat
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes that'll scale about as well as "i don'
t need condoms, i only fuck clean girls"
mircea_popescu: maybe you don'
t understand this whole "fairness" concept.
trinque: I can'
t just decide a guy has pleased me and give him some?
davout: jurov: "now that is something. if i secretly make 350k alternative blocks with minimal difficulty, will that altchain get chosen if we have no checkpoints?" <<< i don'
t think so. if you have 8 peers you'll get two different blocks at different diff for the same height, hard to feed you a bogus chain
ben_vulpes: so long as the fp doesn'
t change how does that matter?
cazalla: nubbins`: is there anyone here who hasn'
t made the local news for threatening people? o.O <<< i made TV too because what else happens in the sticks, thankfully minor at the time.. all this shit because i said i was gonna machine gun a bunch of people
ben_vulpes: i don'
t quite know if this is topologically different from an option pool with a vesting schedule, except that it provides some fairness proportionality to the time worked
trinque: if a person can'
t reason enough to reason that they'd better improve their reasoning, fucked
trinque: coderwill: you have to force them to be, and if you can'
t, why would they?
coderwill: it's a bummer people can'
t be more straight-up with potential hires
mircea_popescu: traditional employment of the "that's a firm to put 30 years in with" isn'
t a loan particularly for that reason.
trinque: company's dead; shares aren'
t worth one reddit note
coderwill: ben_vulpes: sorry wasn'
t around to reply
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: undergrads who 'rock the boat' end up 'having problems', one way or another. see also the folks who posted diffs b/w one semester's textbook and next's << can'
t say as that was my experience. i rocked the boat constantly and still managed to eke some funding out of the university for harebrained rocket schemes
mircea_popescu: (it didn'
t last tho, meanwhile romania joined nato and every college prof is hawking his own dumbass books)
ben_vulpes: i didn'
t even see the reorderings, asciilifeform
mircea_popescu: parentless blocks are blocks which arrived to a node before their parents, and so can'
t be evaluated for validity (yet)
mircea_popescu: so is taleb. so is everyone that DIDN'
T join the system.
ben_vulpes: i can'
t believe that people want to fuck around with sidechains and altcoins when there's interesting work to be done in improving how the satoshi codebase handles block downloads
mircea_popescu: the funniest thing in all of this isn'
t exactly the horde of children who don'
t understand how the fuck they were tricked exactly. the funniest thing is the plethora of articles about how "apple could buy russia"
mircea_popescu: oo-weak-to-try rapists want to be anonymous. Smart women write clickable articles about their sexuality for nothing, because what good are you if you can'
t make someone else money? Interesting to observe that the article's single suggested solution to cyberharassment is to reframe a criminal problem into a civil rights issue using a logic so preposterously adolescent that if you laid this on your Dad when you were 16 h
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "If Hess has made you wonder, hmm, maybe unrestricted anonymity is bad because it gives trolls too much power, then the system has successfully used her for its true purpose: brand it as bad, to you. She is unwittingly teaching the demo of this article, e.g. women in their 20s with no actual power looking to establish themselves, who are the very people who should embrace anonymity, not to want this: only rapists and
t mircea_popescu: "Keeping in mind that actual stalking has never been dealt with in any significant way ever, the desire of a few female writers to curb online anonymity wouldn'
t be enough to get an @ mention, except that this happens to coincide with what the media wants, and now we have the two vectors summing to form a public health crisis. "Cyberbullying is a huge problem!" Yes, but not because it is hurtful, HA! no one cares about
mircea_popescu: i kinda agree, they don'
t make the bricks like they used to in the 90s
PeterL: spend more time doing useless shit and you won'
t have to think about how worthless you are
adlai: shouldn'
t it be as simple as, every rating has to contain a signature of the rating data, and then gribble and assbot can just spider eachother all day long?
