BingoBoingo: Still
the name of
the game is challenging
the editors
to catch
these
things
BingoBoingo: Tychoon, Barron...
Things were bound
to go wrong when I
tried
to submit
to Slashot completely sober/
mircea_popescu: o look, mpoe is
trading 88 now ? i guess short sellers got bored or what
bounce: oh, nice
to wake up
to a spurious paste. another reason
to hate
trackpads.
joecool: <Diablo-D3> people read /.? <
the english language is
tricky on
this point, it is
true
that people have read /. however I do not
think people still read /.
BingoBoingo: Also, slipping
typos past /. editors is a
thrill
Duffer1: i would, dunno if it's grammatically necessary
though
artifexd: "All email received unencrypted is automatically deleted unread." <- Should
there be a comma between "deleted" and "unread"?
diametric: asciilifeform: so
that pod i got off ebay works on
the logic analyzer
diametric: i spread myself
too
thin honestly, i have a wide range of interests but never enough
time
to fully explore
them.
Mats_cd03: diametric
then you will always be vulnerable
to
those willing
to xommit violence
diametric: nah its not something i spend a lot of
time
thinking about.
mircea_popescu: diametric is
this something you've considered systematically or not really ?
diametric: mircea_popescu: I see your point, maybe not harm at its basic level. Intent has a lot
to do with it.
mircea_popescu: ("i'm not really a waitress, i'm just on my way
to
the newsweek stint")
mircea_popescu: for whatever reason
the
thing stuck, because most of
these kids are unemployable save for some fantasy enacting
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah it's a lot more diffuse
than
that. i suspect many of
them actually worked in a job
that required
them
to dress as an animal.
they do
that for parties/disne\yland etc.
diametric: its a fetish. some people like feet, some people like anal gaping, some people like making scrambled eggs compromised of equal parts chicken eggs and semen.
those guys like dressing up like animals and fucking. I
think anonymity is incidental
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it may even be a chicken and egg
thing. maybe
the pedestrian anonimity
thing comes from
the suits.
mircea_popescu: i can't see how i could
take seriously someone with poor
taste.
diametric: I do dismiss people
that inflict harm on others, despite whatever else
they might have
to offer
diametric: a consideration for what? I mean, sure its something I might factor in if its relevant
to
the situation, but I wouldn't dismiss someone simple because of
that.
mircea_popescu: what
they consider beautiful would seem a major consideration
diametric: to what end
though, i don't really care if people dress up like animals and fuck each other if
they want
too. I
think its weird, but I would not consider myself a better person
than
they on
that alone.
mircea_popescu: diametric what's harm
to do with anything ? i'd rather
take a smoker
than someone who watches
tv.
diametric: i
tend not
to judge others on harmless stuff,
though
that shit must be uncomfortable as fuck
to wear.
steven-__: i wonder if
the pants are just
to hide
the dick holes you know
they have
benkay: i was seeing mythical
things.
mircea_popescu: then conde nast bought it and it became sorta-popular with
the majored-in-business crowd i guess
mircea_popescu: back when digg still existed reddit was where
the furies gathered
diametric: honestly its just a degradation of
the signal
to noise ratio
that happens in any online community
that gains popularity with
the masses.
mircea_popescu: i find it hard
to believe reddit ever had any qyality
to begin with
mircea_popescu: yeah well,
there's people out
there claiming
that obama is smart and putin good looking
diametric: "the guy
that runs bitbet made
the bet and he's a scammer!" many lols were had.
diametric: i like it, all
the anti-mp people were out in full force on reddit
diametric: mircea_popescu: quite
the commotion you you started with
that bet
benkay: although maybe we'll all learn some haskell and learn something about strongly
typed systems.
benkay: anyways, love
these guys. smart fuckers.
tough sell on
the job is going
to be lisp and not haskell for
the backend.
mircea_popescu: i don't know how hard im
trolling either,
tbh, but i figure it should be somewhere between my penis and a brick wall.
benkay: wouldn't be surprised if
that call was something along
the lines of "are
these both
thingers in memory? great! return
true."
benkay: i don't even php, so i don't know how hard you're
trolling right now
benkay: (NO SERIOUSLY ARE
THESE STRINGS EQUAL)
benkay: when it comes
time
to compare hashes, guess what happens.
benkay: client has app and backend
they brought my firm on
to shephard into app store and reverse-engineer an SDK out of.
mircea_popescu: ya well, i don't personally
trust
them so i have no use for
them on
these lines, but in principle what can you do.
benkay: maybe
trusting others with ones coins.
benkay: maybe allowing ones funds
to be so commingled is anathema.
benkay: they're in a
tough spot.
they're guaranteeing cold storage for customer funds, but also
that
they can send funds on demand.
this requires
they commingle, which is anathema.
mircea_popescu: if
they have 1k customers
that make 1k
transactions each
that's 1mn addresses
they have
to keep
track of
Duffer1: hirethestache money sent
to any of
those addresses in
that list will probably be credited
to your CB account, but i'm not 100% on
that, by
trying
to dumb it down for
the average person
they make it way more complicated...
Duffer1: Hirethestache it appears coinbase keeps
track of all addresses generated by your
transactions (they appear
to use a new address for every deposit/withdrawl) you can view
them under Account Settings - Bitcoin Addresses
mircea_popescu: "Being quiet and studious is broadly unknown in a western culture
that prizes “views”, “likes” and
the inane extraversion required
to generate
them." no see,
that's attacking people's self esteem.
Duffer1: they don't make it obvious, but i believe
they do, let me check
benkay: mircea_popescu Hirethestache i'm suggesting using
the user-specific inbound address.
Hirethestache: Yeah, you guys are schooling me on my knowledge, or lack
thereof, of proper BTC safety
benkay: Hirethestache: if your bet closes in 7 days just use
the CB address.
they won't likely go out of business with so little fanfare.
benkay: one never knows when bitcoins are going
to shower from
the heavens
mircea_popescu: so for all
the kids keeping score at home : always carry some safe addresses when
travelling.
mircea_popescu: anyway, if you're
travelling with no safe addresses and no way
to make
them you're sol.
benkay: hey jsbrekla
text is not highlightable on bitbet homepage
mircea_popescu: Hirethestache wait, you
think
the berkshire bet ends in a week or is
this some other bet you're
talking asbout
Hirethestache: ^^hence
the reason I'm so adamant about betting ASAP hah
test123: i see
thanks- greater weight equals greater pay out at end if on winning side
benkay: Hirethestache: for how long are you
traveling?
benkay: mad
trilema-y searches from gribble.
