the world works".

that Ibuprofen has been a drug for so long
BingoBoingo: Back in
the day wouldn't have been dared here
mircea_popescu: "it was found" derp. i dunno wtf land of
the free you live in, i went
to scvhool in communist romania. yet a
teacher'd not have dared go
through your bag.
BingoBoingo: Maybe we can improve on a
topic raised on Goat's forum?
mircea_popescu: then people wonder why and wherefore it's game over. well who
the fuck would want
to play with you!?
mircea_popescu: so basically
the ad baculum argument reduces
to "he knew we have
the stick,
therefore he should get
the stick"
mircea_popescu: "We would never strike a student and whether
the software is pirated or not is not
the issue. He denied having
the drive which means he knew he shouldn't have it here
then it was found in his bag so I feel
the punishment is suitable."
BingoBoingo: I liek how allegedly
the msot illegal
thing I have done in my like was supposedly making a fucking phone call
mircea_popescu: then
the people who
think
try and insulate
themselves, and
this is how
thinking became a crime in
the us
mircea_popescu: ;;later
tell
ThickAsThieves of course you don't use
tor unless you're doing something illegal. EVERYTHING YOU CAN DO IS ILLEGAL!
bounce: funny how
that keeps on biting
bounce: happy
to be unhappy neatly glosses over
the sad state of consumerist computing where
the app is supposed
to do
the
thinking, since
to you it's supposed
to be "intuitive",
thus "no
training needed" and
thus we have large swathes of functionally illiterate people pushing buttons
BingoBoingo: Really, I mean I can literally order a liter of vancomycin concentrate on
the jsutification
that I have an itch. Fuck
the man.
mircea_popescu: sadly
these idiots have gotten it
to where i can't send you a bottle.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I like cognac. I'd have

that aren't menthols, but I like
that family of liquors.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i should send you a bottle of
this here cognac
ozbot: Twitter / Mircea_Popescu: #JokeBleed of
the day : "Openssl ...
BingoBoingo: I want
to do a post on Donnie Darko and Popular American Calvinism, but I just can't get myself drunk enough
to write it.
mircea_popescu: it's a
thing
tho. your average "man's rights" dood on a forum somewhere is only happy in an "unhappy" marriage.
BingoBoingo: Prolly fails
the most in one of my favorite James Bond flicks when Felix Ligheter for Lighter's sake gets chewed by a shark
mircea_popescu: they WANT
to scroll past
the
text in order
to get
to feel bad about how
they're not reading it.
mircea_popescu: bounce you have
to understand
the us mentality, as aptly described by al pacino in devil's advocate.
bounce: "oh yeah I coulda said dis in one line but I only
thought about it now" -- no real copyediting going on.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
That rationale for dressing fails at higher latitudes
though
to
the reality of cold.
bounce: the "TL;DR"
thing is a nice misunderstanding, by
the by. don't put summaries at
the bottom, where I find'em after I read
the article.
BingoBoingo: Lighter for lighter's sake isn't really
the aim
though
bounce: s/incentive/rationale/ really,
the incentive is a bit lacking
Naphex: i have used both in some embedded work, when something lighter
then openssl was needed.
bounce: hmm. well,
there is a good incentive
to conciseness (see EWD1300, at least first
two paragraphs) but "the GUI beliefs" overshot it in a grand way, sort-of coming out
the other way
samson_: The picocoin project is being forked
to use it
mircea_popescu: yet i suspect we're getting
to a point where it's actually becoming false, and nobody has
the oversight
to call it.
mircea_popescu: bounce
the
traditional wisdom used
to be
that (booklength spec + half line user manual) beats (one page spc + one page user manual), because you do
the book once and
then
the millions of users are saved a million pages.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform more
than semiconductor chemistry i'd say. lynn conway wasn't 40 years ago was she ?
bounce: a WoT
thingy makes more sense, but is harder
to work with and harder
to understand
bounce: let's start with
the
type of model we'd like
there. hierarchical is "natural" for over-enthousiastic devs but doesn't work all
that well in practice.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: So... what Open source alternatives are
there
to OpenSSL which aren't as much of a bitch
to read? <<

twittar
keonne: BingoBoingo:
there is plenty of pr0nz on reddit
mircea_popescu: i mean, sure slashdot sucks
today, but one day it was a big
thing. meanwhile 9gag or baumwhatever never were big
things
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
Ted
Turner did
those
things for what he imagined was a reason. I imagine you would have a better reason, butthurt.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i would hope
to not be as senile as
ted
turner was in 10 years.
BingoBoingo: So. In 10 years MP buys reddit and maps
their urls onto DTNG pr0ns?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform punkman
that is a car
that was sideswiped into a pole by a large
truck.
mircea_popescu: "decimation:
the other problem
the SEC has is
that
thier lawyers are at best 'C' league compared
to Goldman's army" << forget goldman.
their alleged senior counsel fared very poorly when compared
to mpex' lawyers.
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic at
the very least as an interim install a gpg-based method for peole
to verify your certs.
Apocalyptic: i have a plan
to switch
to a full mpex-like model
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic don't you just love
this cert business as implemented.
BingoBoingo: Apocalyptic: Good, I need
to keep ATC from spiraling out of control
Apocalyptic: BingoBoingo, yes sir, as far as updatings
the libs, I'm waiting for
the new cert
gribble: Error: You don't have
the #bitcoin-assets,voice capability. If you
think
that you should have
this capability, be sure
that you are identified before
trying again.
The 'whoami' command can
tell you if you're identified.
Apocalyptic: <fluffypony> I wish Bitcoin-OTC was +m // it was back in
the days
BingoBoingo: Iremember introducing myself with
the IRL name
to MP and seeing
the hit on my IRL name site from
timosoara in minutes
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller:
there should be a gpg encrypted bitcoin illuminati forum<< once
this chan goes +m it'll pretty much be it i guess.
fluffypony: Send mircea_popescu
to break his legs?
fluffypony: bounce: you could possibly only see people identifying on SSL connections if
the SSL/non-SSL memory pools don't overlap
BingoBoingo: keonne: Good bookies are some of
the slickest scammzors
bounce: now I can't help but wonder if your (nickserv/on connect) passwords aren't vulnerable even if /you/ don't connect via ssl
to freenode. since loaded library, probably.
mircea_popescu: keonne for one
thing, his entire operation was fully illegal from all povs.
BingoBoingo: keonne:
The defintion of want and
the definition of bezzle
mircea_popescu: so whenbever he was putting dough into something dubious he really wanted
to succeed, he used
the former pile for it.
mircea_popescu: because he believed
the latter is much more likely
to "go"
to similar "business"
keonne: yeah it was
through alibaba haha
keonne: yup i still have
the emails
mircea_popescu: i knew a guy like
this, was hysterical. had a bookie biz, old skinny guy, megasmoker, huge glasses
mircea_popescu: he probably paid some debts, got a coupla girls for a long weekend and
that was it.
keonne: yes, by
the book, hope he ate well, compliments of
the stupid american
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: Ah I
thought
this was
the 90s
keonne: it was me
trusting Western Union, and not understanding WTF i was doing
keonne: it wasnt about me
trusting
this dude
keonne: the 00's i
think were
the exact opposite
fluffypony: The internet was a different place
then, everyone
trusted each other with no real basis for it
keonne: I bet I still have all
the emails
ozbot: Mircea Popescu - artist vizual -
Timisoara, Romania
keonne: I bought 10 of
them from Mr. Popescu for around
that price
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo actually, i suspect you're right.
there may be
two of
them, an old sculptor guy and a
teeny pictor.
keonne: I was selling
them for 550 USD
