nubbins`: doesn't the corner store just buy flats of pepsi from costco?
TheNewDeal: didn't he run a passthrough that was basically just an additional surcharge passthrough?
nubbins`: his coins aren't colored as such
asciilifeform: they, i suspect, reach a point of thinking 'i can't eat hope'
asciilifeform: some people don't react well to a (perceived) collapse of fantasy of escape from gravity well.
asciilifeform: not being the shrink for either of these folks, i can't say with certainty, but do have a hypothesis:
nubbins`: he hasn't been around as much since he stopped with xbond, neobee, etc
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform haven't seen thickasthieves in a while either...
ben_vulpes: planes don't escape the gravity well.
ben_vulpes: cars don't fly.
ben_vulpes: but the things that one can do with a car don't really hold a candle to those that can be done with large rockets.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes i want a giant tower of hydrocarbons << for some reason i didn't even think you had a car
ben_vulpes: it doesn't even have a profit model!
jurov: nonotube doesn't want to join bezzlatron?
assbot: Hey VCs, where's the $1.5mn funding for nanotube's WoT ? http://t.co/gdmiYpx1FA

nubbins`: i won't know when the pan is hot enough!
nubbins`: "According to MacDonald, Putin did not respond positively. He didn't provide further details."
xanthyos: california is a scam state and hollywood has used its media to convince the world that it doesn't suck there, but it really does
xanthyos: using the customer's assumption that banking is a slow process (2 business days) and doubling that hoping they won't notice just to extend their opportunity to abort a sale that's not in their favor
xanthyos: so coinbase gets 4 full days to abort my purchase, which they will, if the prices goes up, and they won't if it levels or drops. with btc market volatility they have a sure thing
Adlai: you wouldn't say that militaries are still churning out pilot plants, but the automation/control balance of piloting itself has shifted?
punkman: RagnarDanneskjol: well it didn't actually verify deeds
mircea_popescu: whosoever programs the robots doesn't have to do so with chewing gum however.
mircea_popescu: doesn't mean the machines still exist.
asciilifeform: eh we just skinned a balloon, haven't we.
mircea_popescu: i sorta can't.
asciilifeform: e often than you might think. ... ... Space enthusiasts say, 'If we can put a man on the moon, why can't we put a man on the moon?' "The answer, Simberg explains, is that we can't "because most of the people who did it are in their dotage or dead, and a lot of it was more art than science."'
decimation: yeah I don't get it, if your'e gonna wear a shirt with semi-naked women in front of an international audience, show some follow-through
mircea_popescu: we need to bully these autistic savants a whole of a lot more, can't be letting the libtards having all the fun.
asciilifeform: state that can't keep a secret << incidentally, notice that no complete 'dump' for ru nuke of whatever variety ever hit the net.
mircea_popescu: state that can't build a pot is one thing. state that can't keep a secret however, deserves to die.
decimation: sorting out u235 from the other neutron spewing isotopes isn't trivial
thestringpuller: Adlai: i don't think it was tagged as news
mircea_popescu: the fact that the iranians don't manage just shows how fucktarded htey are. it's by now a one man job.
asciilifeform: at any rate, the operative boojum wouldn't be the demolition of a particular plot of real estate.
mircea_popescu: the sad truth of the matter is that with the current state of manufacturing, i could build my own nuke. wouldn't even take a decade.
mircea_popescu: well, he didn't work for the full 20 years either.
asciilifeform: except he didn't
asciilifeform: doesn't even matter if 99 in a hundred men who open theirs, die
mircea_popescu: mostly so they don't bleed from the ears.
BingoBoingo: <decimation> are you saying that you can't use a silencer and a sub-sonic round? << Range and terminal energy at the target become huge problems this way
decimation: yeah I agree they aren't 100% silent, but the advantages of silence seem to be large
decimation: are you saying that you can't use a silencer and a sub-sonic round?
mircea_popescu: decimation because they can't be made.
decimation: actually this brings up a good point, why aren't 'silent guns' more popular in military circles
decimation: but that wasn't really a man-portable system
decimation: imagine 'future war' where your squad as a 'laser machine gun'. In order to take the next hill, you need to lay down suppressing fire. the laser machine gunner opens up, and the enemy doesn't notice
asciilifeform: decimation: another generation or three of 'this', and hardware will look like the same shitfest as os/sw stack is now. fortunately 'this' doesn't have even one generation left in it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i don't even think code as tight can still be made, much like you can't have a proper boot made... << oh but it can.
Adlai: or if you don't want to use the polish fork for some reason, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/v0.5.3/src/main.h#L403
thestringpuller: Adlai: i can't see the article yet so I can't answer the question
mircea_popescu: i don't even think code as tight can still be made, much like you can't have a proper boot made anymore, and hardly a proper suit of clothes.
BingoBoingo hasn't had trouble accessing qntra in quite a while a few hundred miles from geographic center of USia
mircea_popescu: anyway, this is proving impossible to debug, people not seeing it pls to pastebin traceroutes at the time you don't see it.
The20YearIRCloud: I haven't delt with trailers yet, I want to but it's a different deal since you have to develop them out (including sewage) which is an EPA deal you can't get around easily.
decimation: for the quality of hovel you are buying and fixing, wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a few empty plots and buy some trailers or 'tiny homes' or whatever
The20YearIRCloud: it's higher, it isn't astronomical though
The20YearIRCloud: So, if I can go into a neighborhood where they really don't want me there, and one where the city bends over backwards to try and help me out, i'll go with the second one
The20YearIRCloud: I had a house up there I was dealing with for someone, and I had roofers up there doing work. Zoning came by and complained that we hadn't bought the $100 permit, so they forced the guys off the roof even though it was going to rain soon and wouldn't let them put the tarp up there till there was a permit.
The20YearIRCloud: That wouldn't surprise me much, but they also have had coleman who is a ultra-liberal for years and years.
decimation: why don't they have tabloids based in say columbus?
assbot: Warning: Don't buff your ballbag on a shoe shine machine. Here's why - in tomorrow's /thesundaysport http://t.co/moIlQF7RUE
decimation: eh, it could have been. I felt dirty touching the thing, didn't examine it closely
decimation: yeah I guess that's why people don't immediately toss in the rubbish bid
decimation: log1 is down for me, log isn't
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah that was my point.. just because something could be 'on the net' doesn't mean it should
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: can't ssh? no pts? << there is no reason why wallet should be routable to the net.
Adlai: well, it looks like MPCD "failed" (the contract didn't fail, the shares "just" lost value) due to investing in what could be called "rockstar investors", who seem to make a habit of burning out spectacularly, taking half the fanbase with them
thestringpuller: adlai that image won't load
thestringpuller: can't ssh? no pts?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: 0.5.3 and earlier have wallets, and all the concomittant braindamage... << the wallet code oughn't be snipped outright, but corralled. for later porting to msdos.
assbot: Logged on 12-11-2014 00:20:12; mircea_popescu: i don't see you churning out an article a week about how "evil nato" and "nice putin"
Adlai: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-11-2014#923008 << a first step in some sort of appropriate direction could be http://organofcorti.blogspot.ru/2014/11/daily-and-weekly-bitcoin-transaction.html although that article doesn't go far enough for interesting results ☝︎
ben_vulpes: they are paying, the bill just isn't due yet.
mircea_popescu: much like strippers and whores pay for their place of work, don't get paid by the landlord.
Adlai: people aren't interchangeable, but shoes (and artifacts of their ilk) are increasingly produced and repaired in an interchangeable manner
mircea_popescu: there isn't some sort of "us" that could just as well be a standin for any of us.
mircea_popescu: Adlai: this roman doesn't seem to care much for his friends' feet. perhaps the shoe's pinch points would bother them too, if they were to walk long enough in the same shoes? <<< you know your crowd-* obsession is at some level based on the fundamentally evil notion that people are interchangeable.
Adlai: doesn't mpoe operate "within" bitcoin?
ben_vulpes: wasn't the last major mpoe action a big rally during the big btc rally?
mircea_popescu: undata you don't understand. siberia is a huge space, full of minerals they can't access because ice.
mike_c: i don't have any words of wisdom on mpoe.
mircea_popescu: !t m s.mpoe
ben_vulpes: !t l s.mpoe
PeterL: doesn't russia pretty much have as much oil as they want right now anyway? why do they need an excuse to grab more?
undata: and I'd most certainly try to help stir up whatever particular brand of shit the americans can't resist in the middle east
thestringpuller: silly winklevii don't code
undata: asciilifeform: the strange thing to me: it doesn't matter at all what actually happened
asciilifeform wasn't there, didn't watch, cannot swear to it
asciilifeform: i don't feel like translating.
undata: mircea_popescu: regarding the NSA conspiracy, it's amusing, but doesn't seem likely that they'd undermine fiat intentionaly
ben_vulpes: bitcoin is the coin that changed the world but that doesn't mean the first try doesn't sink in heavy storms
ben_vulpes: i don't have a blockchain that wedges yet, nor have i reproduced the wedging point
thestringpuller: dunno haven't tried again
ben_vulpes: lol don't really know if it even works yet
asciilifeform: at the moment - we don't have a reference.
asciilifeform: joecool: i don't believe that the current participants in turdatron really agree on what the ultimate end product should be (e.g., something like what conformal has, or a hardware implementation - what i want, etc.) but we do agree that a reference implementation is necessary before it even makes sense to ask the question.
Adlai: this roman doesn't seem to care much for his friends' feet. perhaps the shoe's pinch points would bother them too, if they were to walk long enough in the same shoes?
Adlai: and indeed, isn't it acceptable, in some circles at least, to look at family photos?
