punkman: they got
too many users
to give a fuck
mircea_popescu: punkman people
totally misunderstanding what customer service is.
punkman: BingoBoingo: of course
they do, "hey guys dog ate my key, can I change
to
this new one?" "ok"
BingoBoingo: punkman: No one gets
to change keys
though unless
they can sign
the change with a still older key of
theirs.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo amazing how if you don't offer people any way
to change
their account
they'll be unhappy.
punkman: BingoBoingo: well not if
they just change your key when you call
them
jurov: or at least 2FA. not
the backdoored google kind
BingoBoingo: punkman: Amazing how GPG could have prevented
that disaster.
punkman: nice domain you got
there, shame you are not using it
punkman: I like
that it still
takes a few phone calls
to steal whatever
mircea_popescu: punkman obviously,
twitter and dns are shady services open
to hackers and drug dealing.
mircea_popescu: this is
the reason i do not wish
to live in a world without opression, and
this is why bullshit like "social justice" is outright immoral.
mircea_popescu: "Furthermore, notice
that a winning bet of .011 returns less
than
the bet itself (despite its weight), if you even happen
to get it. Something is clearly seriously wrong with
that guy!! It would be nice if someone were
to hack him (and all companies industrializing/profiting off
the bitcoin with expensive rigs) and donate
the bitcoins
to charity (bitcoin100 or etc)."
mircea_popescu: shittingb on
them > shitting on
their fav scam of
the
time.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Prollu because
this
time she isn't shitting of
their favored scams?
csu: lol @ airport rape stations. so
true.
BingoBoingo: I don't even know how he can
talk about immigration reform without rescinding airport rape stations.
BingoBoingo: Apocalyptic: He
talks so much about
the economy and energy so far. He's pretty powerless nao on
those
things.
The only
thing he could actually do without outsourcing
to wishful
thinking would be
to legalize
the wacky
tobbacky
Apocalyptic: he's broken some records,
that one is not surprising
BingoBoingo: Obama is just phoning it in.
This has
to be
the least relevant SOTU in decades.
herbijudlestoids: he asked me if i could convince a friend of mine
to accept bitcoin

BingoBoingo: 85 minutes into
the hearing, saving coins creates a weird dynamic
BingoBoingo: Dunno how many recyclable parts are actually present in
the head
though.
BingoBoingo: Kind of what I imagined. Dunno how many ways
there are
to imagine such a
thing
though.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Bodypart coins see so simpler
though. Value
through removing value.
BingoBoingo: THere's a bit of overlap here
that makes
the right attribute hard
to sus out.
BingoBoingo: Poor isn't necessarily
the greatest problem maybe. Probably desperation might be bigger.
mike_c: i'm sure
they were poor. i did not pay much.
BingoBoingo: Maybe my world has been small but I have never seen quality work
transcibing done by
those who are not extremely poor and brown or
the other extreme which is incredibly professional court reporters.
mike_c: you might be surprised. i've hired some odeskers for
transcribing before and it worked pretty well. hit and miss
though i'm sure.
BingoBoingo: mike_c: Being 10 minutes out from catching up with
the Day's proceedings I imagine Odesk will probably be
too slow and
too shitty (the second point is never a question with Odesk)
BingoBoingo: My big complaint about
these hearings is
that
the only
thing close
to "I don't know how your assumptions could be so broken
that you describe reality with such retarded lenses" seems
to be coming out of
the fucking regulators on
the dias.
BingoBoingo: Maybe
the biggest difference comes from settlers in Illinois having become victims of a native joke and naming Chicago after
the region's natural onion stink.
BingoBoingo: Maybe if Illinois has one of
these
things I could find myself invited. Illinois is rather similar
to NY. Both States are giant wastland with Giant cities occupying a small portion of
the waste.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I imagine such chances are low.
That is why I kind of hold
this out as a bit of a dream.
BingoBoingo: I wonder if any of
these people speaking has ever had
to handle a classroom where one has
to anticipate any degree of retardation and ignorance from student questions.
BingoBoingo: Witnessing at one of
these committees and not doing
this retarded
thing people who imagine
themselves public speaking capable do where
they simply read prepared statements verbatim could be educative
to prevent future Amir
Taaki and Charles Lee situations.
BingoBoingo: It seems pretty clear
though
than many people on
the NYDFS committee
though likely hold more BTC
than
these witnesses
though.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Sure. I would like
the chance
though
to add some
theater
to one of
these circuses
though. A chance
to go on
the record seems like it could be fun (even
though right nao by being in
this channel I am on
the most important record atm.)
BingoBoingo: I would like
to advance at one of
these hearings
the position
that "bitcoin doesn't much care about you"
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'm following
the circus because I
think appearing at a later incarnation of one of
these hearings might be a fun way
to break my pseudonymity.
Duffer1: i'm having
trouble figuring out which circus is being discussed here
BingoBoingo: Fucking retardation from Mr Litecoin "It only matters reimbursing
that dollar amount"
That is Usagi fucking losing 90+ % of fund value is a victory logic.
BingoBoingo: Age might be an important factor in
this
though.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Much of
the
time. Othertimes
though
they succumb
to sepsis due
to
things
tearing. Depends on how low you place
the obstruction.
BingoBoingo: physical reality suggests not eating for a month would be a horrible way
to die and people
talk about
that. A much worse way
to die physical reality suggests might be gorging of food for 30 days with an orfice sealed by either cyano acrylate or sutures preventing bowel evacuation.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I
think
this is
the first
time you said so in such a blunt way. Before it seems you pushed people
to read between
the lines.
BingoBoingo: Carol VanCleef and "passing
the private keys" might be worse
than Mr Litecoin. I
though only Cascascius moved BTC by passing private keys around.
BingoBoingo: Judie Rinearson may be
the most informed witness on
the Mr Litecoin panel, for suggesting
that
to run a BTC-Fiat exchange you ought
to already have substanitial piles of both.
BingoBoingo: About 26 minutes into
the second session (the one with Mr. LiteCoin)
the person chairing
the committee suddenly seems
to reveal he has more insight into how mining works
than any of
the witnesses.
BingoBoingo: Huh, I should have went
to
this NY DFS hearing.
Duffer1: i feel
there's comedy in
there somewhere
punkman: so,
the US has a patent for weaponized boar
taint
mike_c: google needs
to get
those internet blimps out
there already.
mike_c: bitcoincharts seems
to be up, but not mpoe
punkman: I
thought
they were conjoined
BingoBoingo: I have
to wonder is a single Winkelvii incapable of undertaking any action on
their own?
mircea_popescu: pretty much all professions have a
trade rag and a
trade show
mike_c: heh. odesk is probably best
to keep sanity intact.
punkman: Apocalyptic: Black Mirror was fun, especially
the first one: "a much-loved member of
the Royal Family, is kidnapped. For her safe return,
the Prime Minister must have sexual intercourse with a pig on national
television."
BingoBoingo: mike_c: You are welcome. All of
these verbal
tics... I dunno if I can actually
transcribe
this chairperson. Maybe wait for official
transcripts or Odesk,
then correct
the inevitable mistakes?
mike_c: yeah, but i couldn't see
the video because it was on edgecast. on a different connection now and it works.
thanks for
the link.
mike_c: ah, you did like
the sting
though. great movie, also with some odd plotlines.
mircea_popescu: KRS1 i went
through a few of
that and game of
thrones during an hour once
mike_c: only if done entertainingly
though.
