KRS1: I'll be able to sell mine in 5 years for twice as much as collectible nostalgia technology..It'll sit on a shelf right between a ColecoVision and an Atari 2600
KRS1: heh yeh as if the changes in lighting wasnt enough ..thought it was amusing though.
dub: and I need to be careful not to drink malts at the same pace as beer
mircea_popescu: jameson as in, jenna ?
dub: as a*
pgp: I like to think of myself as "black label soluable"...
mircea_popescu: ya, and it'll be just as crappy everywhere :D
dub: as in, lots of people lose the farm
mircea_popescu: i guess the original yes belied as much, nehj ?
pgp: I have several as well
mircea_popescu: perhaps run into trouble as the blockchain goes over 1tb
pgp: but that requires a transaction to specify me as an output - what we need is a generalized method of paying a node operator who identity is not known at the time the transaction is submitted...
jurov: seems up... and has 235190 blocks as it should
ThickAsThieves: Thick As Thieves Investments
ThickAsThieves: Thick As Thieves
mircea_popescu: * RICE CLAIM: "I don't think anybody could have predicted that they would try to use an airplane as a missile, a hijacked airplane as a missile." National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, 5/16/02
mircea_popescu: ;;google nobody could have imagined they'd use a plane as a rocket
ThickAsThieves: TAT.ASICMINER Dividends have been paid on BTCT.co as well
parseval: I want to add a bit to it, like a comparison line of the USD value over time as pulled from MtGox historical data, flags for dividends, and maybe a chart showing return rates
inhies: as soon as asic miner divs pay out, i'll have more to play with
KRS1: i want to see one thing and i see another every time i run tests..i might as well just go outside and smoke
ThickAsThieves: so i'm probly not as paranoid as i should be
dub: I'd rather go OTC as I can't be fucked signing up with the PT exchanges
dub: passthroughs I think just add more as they are ableto
dub: and yes it is noisy as hell
Scrat: chrome goes as far as pinned certificates for google services
Framedragger: well yeah, but as i understand it, browsers etc have lists of CA key fingerprints etc
Framedragger: parseval: sure, just note that it's usually trivial (as in, perhaps only change the db configuration string in your app's config) to change the underlying DB (installing and starting a DB server with default config is also usually really simple) - but yeah, would be interesting to see your results eventually, good luck!
parseval: Framedragger: I'm just using this as an intermediary store on my local box for some testing so I don't have to throw in a full fledged database.. It's a simple delete and rerun until everything is nailed down with the import. Eventually I'll move out to mysql or postgres for the actual application
mircea_popescu: db design might be the most "overengineered as a hobby" thing in it.
mircea_popescu: getting part of your deposit as credits. like in socialism!
davout: IT DOES NOT QUALIFY AS A SUIT GODDAMMIT
mircea_popescu: basically the goal of the scammers is more being as known as justin bieber than as rich as warrenn buffett these days.
KRS1: As it turns out, the customer didnt passwd protect his digital wallet
benkay: it's supposed to be grunted as though by a recruiter who doesn't understand the words they use
benkay: as soon as they reach some marginal level of competence, amazon swoops in and is all "WE R MAKE U NGNR"
jcpham: i'd like to think of it as foundation foor pools and miners
mod6: but then they don't even take time to test its functions apparently? as kakocnut discovered when he went short on that one site btcbutt.sx or something
kakocnut: nicley telling them wont change anything as well
mod6: It worries me about how things are over here. I wanted to have some silver and gld in case of some huge cluster fuck where I need to pay for something in metal as opposed to bitcoin. People over here have heard of bitcoin, but they don't know what it is or how to use it, so to them its pretty much "oh thats a scam.."
Chaaang-Noi: but cool as hell
mircea_popescu: then you can go into all the stuff as a girder.
benkay: i've been grappling with json parsing lately as well
asciilifeform: that is not the same as no one coming close.
tiberiusiv: news is irrelevant as ive proven in here time and time again
kakobrekla: maybe ill send one to taaki, as fan
truff1es: i think i mightve visited it a few times, might as well do so now
mjr___: think of this as craigslist
mjr___: as far as taxes, regulations, that is your responsibility to report, pay or whatever
tiberiusiv: btc is not heading down as i told bugpowder
dub: use RKOI as cover ,all bring blinged out phone cases and wear rolex
mjr___: you look like a group of friends if you are sitting, AND someone can't run as easily
dub: maybe if you all did some kind of dance as well
mjr___: though i think i will link this to an IRC channel as well
mjr___: geolocate is not a "requirement" in fact, the whole site will have as few requirements as possible
mjr___: as far as content, it WILL be stuff related to bitcoin, my views on the current news of bitcoin, my ideas about future projects...
mircea_popescu: but this not necessarily consistent with other time signals such as http headers
mircea_popescu: jurov that'd be normal as the outer layer of servers ashould be more or less on normal time
asciilifeform: make sure to tune in all three constellations, as someone may want to fuck with you via signal spoofing
Namworld: With colorful bitcointalk.org people as NPCs and a whole lot of cheap jokes and parody?
asciilifeform: most commercial software may as well have this nonsense printed on the box. it is certainly there, between the lines.
mircea_popescu: The Entropia Universe client is designed to operate on Microsoft compatible PC:s running Microsoft Windows as an operating system. It is not designed to run natively under Mac OS X or Linux.
asciilifeform: I wouldn't say "ever", but it is about the same as home CNC machining
ThickAsThieves: cryto-trade.com was supposed to be a BTC-e competitor, but now it seems it was about as scammy as we thought
ThickAsThieves: i had a thought about altcoin manipulaiton today, it seems that every new altcoin that pops up, magically has buyers on BTC-E. I wonder if it'd be feasible to support new coins so as to keep the difficulty low on the one coin you really want to control and prop up later, like litecoin. You get everyone to move their hashes elsewhere, and then keep reaping LTC, then you pull the plug
mircea_popescu: as in, won't it just crack ?
mircea_popescu: further, if my carbide solution actually works any, you could be making the guns as fast as you fire them for instance
mircea_popescu: as in, it's extremely unlikely you won't find a debrittleing additive
asciilifeform: 3d printers are being touted by idiots as "we can now produce modern arms in our basement without knowing any machining." which is patently false, and is likely to remain so.
asciilifeform: for those who have never seen an AR, the "lower" is simply a small can which holds the trigger/hammer mechanism, with the stock screwing into one end and the bold carrier/barrel assembly (known as the "upper") into the other end.
asciilifeform: so you can buy the entire metal portion of a Glock, for example (barrel and striker mechanism) with no paperwork, as if it were a video card. because the SN is stamped on an aluminum plate embedded in the lower, plastic portion.
asciilifeform: in the U.S., the part which legally counts as "the gun" is the piece with the serial number on it.
mircea_popescu: but locklin doesn't strike me as much better honestly.
kakobrekla: what do even rather than any of that, sell it as is
kakobrekla: and that changes speed/power ratio as well
cads: kakobrekla: the "vitamins" needed to put together a 3d printer - steppers, controllers, RAMP board, and linear actuators - are only around $300. As soon as your mill is up and running with a mill head, you could fabricate the parts for a 3d printer kit fairly easily.
cads: hehe, and it's totally unreasonable to apply those techniques, when there'd be nothing to gain that grepping through the collected chatlog as they are would not do just as well, hah
mircea_popescu: harvard president is forced to step down within a year over having said women are maybe not quite as smart as men
mircea_popescu: g his professorial position, as his recent output had consisted primarily of co-written and edited volumes. According to some reports, Summers also objected to West's production of a CD, the critically panned Sketches of My Culture, and to his political campaigning, including an alleged three weeks to promote Bill Bradley's presidential campaign.
benkay: mircea_popescu: i think this might work as well: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/96/pwnedk.jpg/?sa=0
cads: copumpkin: classes were boring. Substance abuse got unmanageable, and my debt was insane. I'm taking a year or two off to work on my sobriety, to work my same old job as a machinist and deleverage my debt a bit, and to wait and see what happens with higher education.
Chaaang-Noi: im not as out going as you might think :)
Chaaang-Noi: not as good as the high end stuff you get in the usa
Chaaang-Noi: h is cheap as fuck as is opium
Chaaang-Noi: now meth is becoming an issue here, as it leads to crime
Chaaang-Noi: if you are not paying the right guy you are good as dead if caught
zebedee_: Will be on Tuesday as discussed.
mircea_popescu: if you had a business head on your shoulders as good as mine, you'd start a special slush fgund about now
cads: to her credit, her area was in the statistics of neuronal bursting in biological neural networks, and for some god awful reason, basic logic courses at our university do _not_ adequately introduce foundational issues such as ordinals or even set theory as an axiomatic topic
cads: it was strange, like a cognitive blindspot - I tried what you suggest, and a few other approaches that I invented just during that conversation (which have been useful in similar situation). I lost a lot of faith in her as a mathematician, but regained it in the morning - she was chattering like a bluejay about how she now sees why she was wrong in her reasoning and why I was right: her intuition was that you can't just infinitely exte
cads: mircea_popescu: yeah, his name is shawn, and they're pretty perfect for each other - each as stubborn as the day is long
cads: certainly the men felt that the would not have to answer to rape charges due to the nature of the sex play situation, and she never filed charges, and seems to have chalked it up as "just one of those things"
Chaaang-Noi: they like dollars as well
cads: but then I realized that my new found hate of hipsters was just as bad!
cads: I despise rascism as a form of extreme mental weakness
cads: thestringpuller: haha, as a recent college dropout, I can attest to the lame college. As a daily marta rider for the last two years, I can attest to the failing infrastructure.
thestringpuller: We have lame colleges, and lame infrastructure. We just happen to not be as lame as the other places around us.
thestringpuller: Chaaang-Noi: you cool as shit
cads: truff1es: good deal. as long as we remain teachable, life is pretty good, I find
cads: truff1es: In other words, ignore actually can be used as an asshole strategy. is that part of your argument against the desirability of ignore?
