stf621: somehow, i regret some decision, because i don't take them, when i was young,because parents..etc
stf621: how it work bitcoin lottery? i don't have any for now, but i will
mircea_popescu: i don't get it, stf621 , you plant trees ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i bet you you don't harrangue the participants.
punkman: I don't job
assbot: Logged on 26-07-2014 18:48:15; asciilifeform: this is why i simply don't get people who continue to think of their relationship with the u.s. court system in legal, rather than military, terms.
punkman: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-11-2015#1322020 << I don't see it. nobody cares about those folks, and they don't own anything. Facebook might have paid $5k "corporate tax", but they have 100,000+ sq feet office and I dunno, 500-1000 employees in UK? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i don't read them anyway.
mircea_popescu: <shinohai> Amazon GC ? <<< every time i see one of these marketed i grin. because i know about eulora, and they don't, and somehow the fact that the swarm loses out pleases me.
asciilifeform: i don't see this argument going anywhere.
mircea_popescu: i just don't want the easy mistake be made where the stupidity of the children of books today is ascribed to non-bookdom.
phf: named loops in common lisp? i don't actually know the feature
assbot: Logged on 09-11-2015 14:57:05; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-11-2015#1320581 << how can it be optimism, yo ? for one thing i don't live there. for the other thing, the breakdown of their system is bad news for them. yes, it sucked, but like ankylosis, at lrast it held things together.
ascii_field: require 10,001 things that i don't have.
ben_vulpes: ascii_field: contrary to popular opinion i don't need much educating on the satanicity of wwwwork
mircea_popescu: i don't suppose a generation war - in the proper, 20th century sense, with mass rapes, mass graves and concentration camps - was ever this morally necessary. forget justified, it's not that it's justified, it is that it's a sine qua non mandatory requirement, just like hanging the nazis.
mircea_popescu: the truth is i don't have a good solution to evolving contracts, and this is all part of exploring that space.

mircea_popescu: whjat i mean by "best practices sorta thing" : nobody;'s going to hang you if you don't do it, but should seriously consider doing it.
mircea_popescu: i don't expect it would build on anything.
mod6: yeah, i don't recall. i had thought that maybe that deed was intended to point at the treasurers doc since it has the foundation donation address in there.
jurov: i don't believe that would create buzz in sf
mircea_popescu: i don't use alum.
mircea_popescu: i still don't get it.
thestringpuller: I hope I don't have a stroke.
mircea_popescu: I'm a writer based out of East Village, Manhattan. I work from my condo and local coffee shops (and a few restaurants with menus that are more unhealthy than licking a subway railing), meeting friends who have boats or boat access, touring the zoo for the zoo to visit my ex-boyfriends, and forcing my political beliefs on others at social events (kidding, don't be one of those people."
asciilifeform: the other prong is that 'black' work has a distinct upside of 'i don't have to write on my cv that i played 'doom' for five years'
mircea_popescu: i don't really follow the appeal of this tho. so you get a nsa job, what's the value ? i mean, top quant uni, top high street lawyers uni, i can see, the idea is "go here maybe you get a golden ticket - make a lot of money"
punkman: well I don't know anyone that scans books or rips movies
asciilifeform: i don't think anybody cancelled this.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: they have their place. i find it convenient to have tests when rewriting large swaths of a thing either i've written: with the behavior codified, i don't have to manually poke at the thing to ensure that it still behaves the way it did before i tore it apart and put it back together.
mircea_popescu: What you don't see is that this logic isn't even self-justifying, it is self-destructing. Not "since I have sexual problems, I wish I had the drug"; but, "since I wish I had the drug, I have sexual problems." Since I wish I had the drug, two hours have already gone by. I'm staying in tonight.
mircea_popescu: which takes us round circle to viagra : yeah, i don't take it either. because i happen to be satisfied with the sex. because the women i fuck rock. because etc.
assbot: Logged on 06-11-2015 19:14:16; mircea_popescu: I totally don't know, Boardwalk Empire only goes up to 1924 and Mad Men starts 1960."
mircea_popescu: I totally don't know, Boardwalk Empire only goes up to 1924 and Mad Men starts 1960." ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i would about 100x rather use a deedbot-based system. and i don't think something like that is usable.
mircea_popescu: i don't even drink that much.
punkman: I don't think that would work
mod6: I pretty much keep my head down, work hard. I don't get emotionally invested in the mines.
mod6: but I don't work in these mines for the thrill of victory, i do it for the cash.
mod6: i would like to help out with s.nsa. but yeah, right now foundation stuff is about all i can handle outside of mines. once I don't need the mines any longer, then I'll have some extra time perhaps.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu is, i think, accustomed to smashing idiots' skulls and instinctively reaches for the designated hammer. but i'm not an idiot and don't expect things.
mircea_popescu: i don;t.
mircea_popescu: oh, i don't recall, 200 pesos for the labour or something it was
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i don't think it is 'emo' to question my priorities when, after giving away my work to apparent applause for a year, i mention starving and audience suggests 'web dev'
ascii_field: i don't see the connection
mircea_popescu: i don't even like science fiction.
ascii_field: don't have the thread handy, but at one point i explained how computing is tricky because its very existence as its current thing - that is, vlsi - is predicated on mass uptake
mircea_popescu: maybe phf, but the dude's not even bothered to collect the pile of mushrooms he earned doing i don't recall what for eulora
mircea_popescu: Thing 5. We're trying to create a sane os. This led to gentoo being cut open, libc being cut open, gcc being cut open, and we're still barfing at the results. I don't even want to think about it.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-11-2015#1317323 << i think this is a drastic reduction that entirely misses the point. i'm generally careful not to discuss things i don't understand. ☝︎
ascii_field: and no, i don't expect any takers. and don't intend to 'emo' the non-takers
mircea_popescu: anyway, i appreciate the sentiment, i really do, it's pure love "oh im sorry i couldn't do more". fine, but don't let it consume you.
mircea_popescu: if i cared what kenyans value anything i might ask them. as it is, they don't even get a voice in blockchain size.
phf: i don't know what that means, money's not cool, it's barelly adequate at purchasing cool (a highly debatable point)
ascii_field: see, it is this 'noble' thing that i don't grasp
phf: luckily for you today only you can get a new and improved PATCH from me that will at least let you create context, since i only finished it like last night, i don't yet know if it will actually encrypt, but it might
ben_vulpes: ascii_field: I don't follow. again, as though I were five?
ben_vulpes: ascii_field: don't mind me, i'm just trying to learn the violin.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i don't hate'em, but i did search in vain for signs that somebody was ~thinking~ rather than merely piling intel xeons ten metres high
mircea_popescu: i don't care you sat on your tatched roof in mongolia and thus "dreamed" of skyscraper.
asciilifeform: guess what, i don't give milk either.
asciilifeform: at any rate, i must confess that i don't do www or ipnohe for any amount of pay.
mircea_popescu: there should, i imagine, be a way to extract significant cheating out of the fact that we don't intend to support random gunk.
asciilifeform: reading this thing i - astonishingly - don't feel like i'm chewing on gravel
asciilifeform: i don't personally expect to see 2019.
asciilifeform: trinque: i don't even know how big it is, but will tell you that it is too big for pogo.
mod6: i don't wanna over complicate this to begin with.
mircea_popescu: i don't recall who had this display of "100 ohm resistors" that measured from 30 to a whopping 1.5k
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't mind in the slightest - more flesh for me.
assbot: Logged on 04-11-2015 21:05:09; funkenstein_: trinque: I don't know who they are but i have had some luck with bitcoincloud.eu vps
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-11-2015#1316034 << a) get out of the us. now. shut the rationalizations, i really don't want to hear them, there's no excuse ; b) make a pile of dead droppable content ; c) surround yourself with angry people with guns, bonus points if female. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i still don';t get it.
asciilifeform: elsewhere i noted the example of hobby chemistry - where also it seemed that 'how could it possibly matter what derpy kids dare or don't dare to do, and whether they can get ingredients' but it turned out to.
BingoBoingo: "While we can all agree that pet obesity is a problem, and obviously not healthy for our feline friends, please refrain from commenting here about it. Users have been banned, and I hate having to do it. So please don't make me."
funkenstein_: trinque: I don't know who they are but i have had some luck with bitcoincloud.eu vps ☟︎
Namworld: I just wanted to let it known as I don't think that other guy advertised it around much.
asciilifeform: and i don't own an impregnable castle where i can leave a machine going.
asciilifeform: i don't like manually kicking folks off my node, but this screams of usg entrapment
assbot: Logged on 04-11-2015 17:24:30; asciilifeform: i don't expect to live to eat even the very tip of that carrot.
asciilifeform: i don't expect to live to eat even the very tip of that carrot. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: solrodar the problem with precedent and rule based systems is that you don't know what will happen until it actually happens. i would guess what would happen here would be the bet gets cancelled and so the nos get their btc back too, and perhaps the ability of bet starter to create that clause gets curtailed.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu sees rotherhaming as an essential public service. i don't grasp this. seems approximately as useful as locusts.
pete_dushenski: *gasp* how dare you insinuate that i don't have actual relevance !
gribble: _I_ don't know.
mircea_popescu: i don't know anyone here who keeps as many
mircea_popescu: in any case : an effectual immune response keeps this particular virus well contained. its efficiency is predicated on a well functioning liver because of peculiar synthesis pathways that are narrow and easily stress that i don't recall extemporaneously.
mircea_popescu: i don't have a source in that sense. you can quote me as an expert.
ben_vulpes: i don't, praytell?
ben_vulpes: I DON'T KNOW EITHER
ascii_field: i don't have tentacles. really.
mircea_popescu: right but i mean you don't know the face you don't know the name, i guess "nobody" ?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i don't know this face
mircea_popescu: " Sex addiction rarely breaks laws so it can't be punished, and there's no God so the immorality of it is debatable, i.e. inconsequential. It must be a disease, that way other people don't want to catch it. All psychiatric treatment of constructed syndromes isn't about cure but about regression to the mean, where mean= cubicle drone. " not even, just... please believe that monogynous fambly is the only fambly and it
mircea_popescu: "i know nothing about how kernels work but i'm 36 and i don't think the nielsen box in my house does enough to mess up society - here's some rephrasing i've done in my mysteriously abundant spare time"
asciilifeform: the one thing i don't get is why the fuck these people never set up a btc node on the victim's box
ben_vulpes: i don't actually know anything about pop culture, my parents only let me watch Oregon Public Broadcasting.
assbot: Logged on 01-11-2015 21:30:42; mircea_popescu: "I have more than a thousand rules: specific detailed rules about how to hold your chopsticks and your bowl, how to pick up food, how to hold a cup, how to sleep, how to cover yourself with a quilt," Xiao says. "If you don't follow the rules, then I must beat you."
