asciilifeform: strictly speaking, he doesn't.
asciilifeform: if you give a damn re: what this means, invite one of them in. i can't muster the strength to defend the nonsense, even as 'devil's advocate'
BingoBoingo: Didn't realize apple died till junior year of college when I got an iPod to replace a Rio MP3 player and was introduced to iTunes
mircea_popescu: a purely mathematical language won't ever matter politically.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: didn't happen. not that i don't own enough junk, incl. apples of every period, to fill a small scrapyard - but i wanted living 'butterfly' not zoological specimen preserved in glass
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, until such a time as natural language works for coding, there won't be the "evil ai" whatever guy's worried about.
hanbot: oh you didn't?
BingoBoingo: I couldn't imagine anything more fun
BingoBoingo: So in early bookmaking it looks like they are only giving a 2.5 point spread in the Bitcoin Bowl. That isn't even a field goal
mircea_popescu: meh on 2nd hand this isn't even worth the mention, and also ancient.
asciilifeform: for once, i dare suggest that more mundane - most programmers, historically, don't want 'random', but 'random-flavoured but ultimately reproducible' for testing of games, toys, etc
mircea_popescu: if hashing or w/e other prngsauce is used, it won't be equal.
asciilifeform: i just don't get it
punkman: so the Android wallets don't break again
mircea_popescu: obviously the serious ethical violation and outrageous immorality of them having any btc is why <punkman> I hope he doesn't give anything back
asciilifeform: but you don't move the 'sim
punkman: I hope he doesn't give anything back
asciilifeform: 'what you don't know, won't hurt you. it will only decapitate you in one bite and eat the carcass for lunch.'
mircea_popescu: in a word, members of congress aren't really that far above executive associates at jack in the box.
mircea_popescu: jurov http://www.ronpaulinstitute.org/media/2113/rpilogo-final.gif << doesn't this look sorta like a toilet bowl ?
mircea_popescu: dub yeah but the us doesn't generally even have torrens deeds.
asciilifeform can't resist any longer:
The20YearIRCloud: Big thing has been to have em look over all the financial documents as we're filing taxes for 2014 next month and I didn't want to submit till they had a good idea of it.
mircea_popescu: nfi why i wouldn't have said something at the time, either.
The20YearIRCloud: Most of em have working smart phones, their statement to me was that they couldn't figure out how to get on IRC.
mircea_popescu: so your sworn testimony here is that out of however many tenants, not one has a working smartphone ? or what is it ? computers don't really so much enter into it as far as i can see.
The20YearIRCloud: Doesn't make sense to me.
The20YearIRCloud: At least, i'm not aware of any codes on them, if there were, they weren't obvious.
The20YearIRCloud: They didn't have coupon codes on them, just instructions
The20YearIRCloud: I'm asking you what you want me to do when I've given 8 to clients/tenants and none have cashed them in. I've got a negative rating from you over it, so i wouldn't mind resolving it if at all possible.
The20YearIRCloud: I'm going back and texting those who got them asking for speciifc explanation on why they didn't cash them in.
The20YearIRCloud: and it doesn't do that stuff'.
The20YearIRCloud: Heck, i gave two out to guys who worked for me, and I know for a fact they're dead broke and they still couldn't figure out how to do it.
The20YearIRCloud: I've explained for 5-10 minutes per tenant how it worked, to go on IRCwebchat, and to cash them in. I still have the 42 or so left over still sitting in my closet. I can mail em back to someone if they want. Howver i don't know what I am supposed to do if no one follows my directions or the ones on the posters.
assbot: Logged on 27-11-2014 12:56:26; nubbins`: mircea_popescu:well if he did nubbins has some 'splainin' to do lol. <<< nope, in fact, i am also mildly perturbed by the fact that i mailed over $4,000 of goods to the guy and we didn't even get a couple measly pictures out of it
The20YearIRCloud: But if you want to retaliate at me for my tenants not cashing in the posters.....then so be it. I've tried to do my part in educating them about bitcoin, how to cash them in and so forth. I realize the print cost for the posters was paid out by someone. But I don't understand why you're getting mad at ME over it.
mircea_popescu: wtf does this work when the "value" given away isn't even worth anything.
assbot: This is the largest investment in a BTC company to date. http://t.co/MZl7B4Nj9F /hashtag/bitcoin?src=hash-assets /Mircea_Popescu /hashtag/MPEx?src=hash
mircea_popescu: because the sort of people who "invented it all 18 years ago" tend (in my experience at least) to also be the sort that won't have their venues limited by kids with fiddy routers.
asciilifeform: (they aren't 'pwned' in the traditional - permanent - sense)
asciilifeform: (not where i live, they aren't!)
mircea_popescu: "goats aren't cattle" ?
asciilifeform: ulterior << not even buying the 'they work precisely alike if you don't attempt to fuck'em' hypothesis
asciilifeform 'doesn't swing that way', can't really agree
mircea_popescu: and women aren't gradable.
mircea_popescu: (so not wanting to relive the experience of the cabal they mostly don't use it)
assbot: This is the largest investment in a BTC company to date. http://t.co/MZl7B4Nj9F /hashtag/bitcoin?src=hash-assets /Mircea_Popescu /hashtag/MPEx?src=hash
asciilifeform: (or, question of how to prevent owners of large, expensive pipes - e.g., transatlantic - from charging for seats in wot? you don't, if you want them built & maintained, and this is approximately what they have now)
assbot: Logged on 23-11-2014 05:04:09; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is why, in my unofficial wonderland, you can't even open a socket without transmitting an rsa-signed a 'this is me, and my wot' breath of life packet.
jurov: on the second visit, browser has cached stuff and doesn;t do so many requests
mircea_popescu: but i wonder how many people don't think to reload ?
mircea_popescu: because you can't fucking write text, it's not what you're saying, it's how you're saying it that matters. gotta make a fucking drawing of it.
mircea_popescu: im so fucking sick of asicminerism i can't even begin to tell it all. ☟︎
fluffypony: so in a court of law I'm certain the argument could be made that it has equivalency, and merely giving it a new name doesn't make it any different to Bitcoin
assbot: The reasons why Bitcoin securities can't be regulated by the SEC pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1G7bshw )
mircea_popescu: fluffypony something like http://trilema.com/2012/the-reasons-why-bitcoin-securities-cant-be-regulated-by-the-sec/ 2012 is too far in the past so we don't remember it, therefore must make bitcoin clone to say it's a gaming currence ?
mircea_popescu: basically guy ain't going to jale.
mircea_popescu: anyway, wasn't pets.com basically groupon arbitrarily limited for the pets scam only ?
BingoBoingo: Maybe I don't
mircea_popescu: you don't understand how ideas work.
mircea_popescu: cazalla: mats, about a month ago, forget which article, wasn't that dramatic << http://trilema.com/2014/waroflife-swol-october-2014-statement-closing/#comment-109570
cazalla: mats, about a month ago, forget which article, wasn't that dramatic
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: Actually doesn't look that different compared to some of the 2012 era BTC sites
mircea_popescu: that they don't even mention orlov in there is insulting to the russian foreign service lol.
mircea_popescu: you wanna trade, move to fucking ny. you don't wanna move to ny, stfu and snort coke or w/e they do in la.
mircea_popescu: what would happen if some idiot somewhere didn't constantly put magic numbers into everything!
mircea_popescu: article goes on to say that name wasn't released, but that the pracitce of buying information about various legal misdeeds of other people is by now a common practice in romania, for they convicted who are also rich. like a trying to get out of jail thing.
mircea_popescu: <cazalla> i do that via ftp, wordpress won't let me upload images, i think one of the dir permissions are off or something <<< sooo... set em right ?
mircea_popescu: adlai the exchange-reported tx for that day are small, and the books didn't even hold enough.
mircea_popescu: [Namworld] i guess if they're only interested to see where the ads lead, they wouldn't follow the redirect. trivial curl thing.
mike_c: no no, we don't need more robots involved.
cazalla: i do that via ftp, wordpress won't let me upload images, i think one of the dir permissions are off or something
cazalla: scoopbot, don't fail me
[Namworld]: Aye, should have at least 500 clicks once it's done. At least FB side. Apparently most don't even get to have a request sent to the actual website.
[Namworld]: Because the photos on those suspicious accounts have pictures of same person posted over and over. Yet they don't act like humans. Especially when you start tracking them once on your website.
[Namworld]: If facebook likes are from bot... the bot accounts are pretty impressively well made. Photos of same person over years, often multiple years of Facebook usage, conversations that somewhat make sense when translated, although not sure if it's issues of translation or just gibberish. Just doesn't look like gibberish.
xanthyos: no wonder the price hasn't moved much since
mircea_popescu: tell you what, the us can't make a missile shield, and europe doesn't need any shield atop its cuntshield.
mircea_popescu: (and fwiw, the notion that a young woman won't readily bare herself on request strikes me more like a quaint anachronism of the islamic world & western colonies than anything. of course she would.)
jurov: actually i don't need imgur for it. around here the flats are so densely packed that there's hot inside (at least since they're wrapped in eurofoam) and most people run around naked
mircea_popescu: apparently guy doesn't know how to write out "I'd like to exchange you for my wife. You game ?" in less than eight paragraphs.
mircea_popescu: kim's ? definitely. you haven't ?
jurov: i don't see how being a famous << i stopped reading there, that may be what he's for anyway
mircea_popescu: he didn't walk off with any money, but with a ton of liabilities.
mircea_popescu: i don't see how being a famous internet fraudster / idiot is "scott free".
mircea_popescu: no, it just doesn't meet the "entirely vc-fraud and shitvapour" profile of f.derp
cazalla: it wouldn't hurt, thestringpuller has a habit of clearsigning his submissions
mircea_popescu: but i didn't realise at the time it's what it was, i thought it genuinely actually used it to keep you out if underage
mircea_popescu: can't hurt.
mircea_popescu: they're not actually closed out, because argentina is still very far away from a working market economy. these people'd be humiliated by the market, they're politically and socialy connected, can't have that.
assbot: How Twitter's changed. http://t.co/MKxOQuEDSU For example, replying is down. Retweeting is up big. http://t.co/RmEqNSNBTN
mircea_popescu: maybe they just don't think much of their cusomters.
ben_vulpes: i suspect its the 19yo queer girl who "doesn't put substances in her body" that ordered this miserable filth delivered to my door.
ben_vulpes: <punkman> mircea_popescu: well the racks are closed at least << these aren't the racks you're looking for
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes o you don't ? yaok.
ben_vulpes: but why rural america? i don't live in the boonies and the company office is fifteen blocks north
ben_vulpes: i can't tell if i'm being trolled.
assbot: Wikipedia won't stop BEGGING for cash - despite sitting on $60m • The Register ... ( http://bit.ly/1w34G9l )
assbot: don't ... ( http://bit.ly/1w34jvn )
