Mats_cd03: do you have any gold teeth
BingoBoingo: As someone who due to a mismatch between the size of my jaw and 8 extra molars who wanted to live there doubt I'd extract any teeth of my own for BTC. I wonder how other people might price this though.
BingoBoingo: You know there was a buttcoin conversation earlier. I wonder what the value of a bit tooth is...
BingoBoingo: Here's answers to my best spam comments post slashdotting http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/2014/01/26/a-short-qa/
BingoBoingo: Seems right, but is The Week cribbing Trilema nao?
BingoBoingo: President Johnson left out of his calculations the factor that is almost always overlooked by populists: the people.
BingoBoingo: Seriously though, the first beer of the morning is one of the greatest joys in the world.
Duffer1: kentucky: because how else are people like rand paul going to get electede
BingoBoingo: Can't believed the author of that article uses "morning beer" in a derogatory sense.
kakobrekla: got the cherry switch sampler though.
kakobrekla: i got a few different ones to try, nothing mechanical yet
kakobrekla: then i got like 30 brands of fans only to find 2 usable
kakobrekla: got 5 27 inch screens only to ditch them and get another set of five
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: You don't know how much I shopped for such a thing after reading that post. There's the plastic crap one where "experienced typists" get 25wpm and brag about it.
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: How many chorded keyboards did http://www.loper-os.org/?p=861 talk you into?
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: 10K? bought a golden toilet to sit on?
kakobrekla: now ten grand later or so, my office room is still half trashed
kakobrekla: well, you mentioned how we spend all this time in our cockpits and we should make it easy on ourselves with good peripherals etc
Duffer1: i would really rather not have to see that
BingoBoingo: Duffer1: Enforce in the WoT a law of the Buttcoins, No one can redeem the same pooper twice with a sharpie
BingoBoingo: If someone sells the same butt twice, flag them as dupes
BingoBoingo: Seems to have worked before for at least a while. Just have to remember to to use Ruby on Rails.
Duffer1: oh god the last one
BingoBoingo: We can call buttcoin cars magic. And name the exchange Magic The Gathering Online Exchange
kakobrekla: yea, and we can like make tradedable cards from these buttcoins and make like a dedicate online exchange, and when we like feel like its not going well, start trading btc:usd and keep the name
BingoBoingo: I definitely paid too much for this batch: i.imgur.com/yQ52mP7.jpg i.imgur.com/SYqlDeP.jpg i.imgur.com/o08heoV.jpg
kakobrekla: the shame is too great.
BingoBoingo: Most usernames I've bought buttcoins from have died soon after, which of course decreases the value of buttcoins
kakobrekla: and each buttcoin pic would ofc show where and howmuch twas paid.
BingoBoingo: I've just been collecting them in case people go scam.
BingoBoingo: I mean unless if the ass is that nice and they offer proof of girlparts in advance maybe up t0 0.1 BTC might be possible.
kakobrekla: considering the rise of beggars... someone should start collecting buttcoin on some dedicated blog
BingoBoingo: I dunno if a buttcoin is worth more than 0.01 BTC anymore nao
kakobrekla: yeah for a sharpie ill chip in too.
BingoBoingo: I was going to ask if he had a sharpie and a camera
kakobrekla: well i guess i look stupid either way, so nevermind that one.
kakobrekla: i dont give btc to such people
kakobrekla: you seem like some unknown dead person to me
johndoe_: anyone know where u can get like .000001btc i want to test it out
KRS1: At least the bait is free.
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: No, the bottom always gets lower. Bitcoin started with stupid, but smart enough to have read that bitcoin exists. Nao we get people who learn of bitcoin while eating tv dinners on the couch.
KRS1: Hmmm! Whatcha got there.
johndoe_: what yall talkin abouttt
KRS1: Idk its pretty damn stupid out there, sometimes I feel like I get some of it on me.
kakobrekla: i kinda thought we started at the bottom
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: The more people who hear about the bitcoin, the stupider the bottom is going to be.
BingoBoingo: Turns out if you want hundreds to thousands of fonts for however many alphabets exist, It doesn't really matter how trim the front end is.
BingoBoingo: (speaking purely in terms of disc space)
BingoBoingo: I mean most feature complete TeX distros run roughly as large once installed as Acrobat Pro.
KRS1: As long as I consider it, then it is, I'm the user =D
KRS1: I've seen plenty go to crapware because of that.
BingoBoingo: I mean Intel's top processors for quite some time have been at their core rather trim RISC architectures, but Bloaty McLegacy Bloaterson keeps getting tacked on.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I think this hits back to a problem you and Joel on Software raise. Thinking in C, the solution to bugs seems to almost necessarily involve creating more code as opposed to trimming problematic code.
mircea_popescu: plop is a poplar tree.
BingoBoingo: Well, other than trying progressively older versions of OpenBSD I dunno if there is a solution to Unix bloat.
asciilifeform: openbsd still eats most of the 64M though.
BingoBoingo: That might be incredibly useful in the future.
asciilifeform: solution = openbsd + 'plop' (boot manager that laughs at idiot 8GB limit of old bios)
asciilifeform: for anyone who ever finds himself in the vintage laptop quandary described earlier:
herbijudlestoids: (instead of trying to make ascii art of australia)
herbijudlestoids: i think i should go and do something
herbijudlestoids: forget all the fucked up shit we did to get where we are, forget all the fucked up shit we are right now and forget how fucked up its all gonna get
ozbot: Hilltop Hoods - The Calling - Walk On - YouTube
herbijudlestoids: i just listen to this song
herbijudlestoids: yeah some stupid shit like that
mircea_popescu: what, the glorious days of penal colony ? :D
mircea_popescu: (partly because the daughters are sluts and keep fucking the underclass, partly because the sons are lazy and well... same deal)
chetty: too bad its not reversible = thinking and not being lazy always wins
mircea_popescu: the only way to get an "educated populace" is to constuct a hierarchy, where 90% are enforced into slavery, and then the 10% at the top have a good incentive to be educated
mircea_popescu: rather than think and so get to keep it.
mircea_popescu: people will gladly lose it and then cry.
herbijudlestoids: especially if youve got something to lose, like a girlfriend or family
mircea_popescu: yeah, but it's easier to stay stupid and be lazy.
herbijudlestoids: but we are goaded into it over time
herbijudlestoids: i think probably we arent all stupid and lazy
mircea_popescu: "75% of 200 anon voters are in agreement bitbet should give random people random moneyz" and "anon dork knows X scam is legit, anon dork Y knows mpex exists to scam noobs". that's your information and argument >D
BingoBoingo: Not going to happen populaces resist education
mircea_popescu: information doesn't help the stupid, nor the lazy.
mircea_popescu: yeah, except bitcoin has perfect information and the end result is what, the forum ?
herbijudlestoids: well then i will settle for more information, everything needs to be more transparent so we can at least argue over it
mircea_popescu: if you're lucky you have 5 people who could do it, and they could do either.
mircea_popescu: you have 500 ceo jobs to be filled and 50 regulator head jobs to be filled
herbijudlestoids: so you reckon we cant have one without the other? its simply impssobie for humans?
mircea_popescu: because you only have so many intelligent people involved, and so both regulator and actor hire from the same pool
mircea_popescu: in that case you're stuck with the statu quo.
chetty: yeah well close the door is the first step. then you can blow up the buildings one at a time
herbijudlestoids: im not ideologically opposed to the idea of national self defence, or industrial agriculture per se
herbijudlestoids: by the same token raytheon lobbyists should not be allowed to become the chief of staff at the pentagon
mircea_popescu: so in short, the door is not the problem. the existence of the buildings the door is attached to is the problem
mircea_popescu: right. but this mostly because you don't want either usda or monsanto
herbijudlestoids: or be the general who blows up civilians and then go onto consult for fox news and raytheon
herbijudlestoids: there is no way you should be able to be the head of some important decision making function at the USDA and then in a week go work for monsanto
herbijudlestoids: i want the revolving door for big finance, big pharma and big industry in general to end
mircea_popescu: you can see right through it.
mircea_popescu: but it is pretty transparent
herbijudlestoids: the best, best of absolute all was when he told us that they would be the most transparent administration in history
herbijudlestoids: or when he said the PATRIOT act was bad ahahahahahahha
mircea_popescu: yeah, that's so totally unique to the us...
herbijudlestoids: remembrer when oblabla said he wanted to close guantanamo LOL
BingoBoingo: Well, in the US we get just the worst candidates
