mircea_popescu: are they supposed to work just like that, in principle, don't even need to know what you're suggesting about or anything ?
mircea_popescu: wasn't i reading a bevy of suggestions from you above tho ?
Adlai: you could also auction qntra credits through a centralized system, that aspect of my suggestion isn't dependent upon decentralized issuance
Adlai: don't have too much interesting to say about it, i'd rather discuss decentralized assets
Adlai: guess who isn't going to work today?
Adlai: coinbase don't pay in shares? :P
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah I think your solution is definitely better than the $5k machine I linked. I doubt anyone makes something like it, and if they did it wouldn't be cheap
Adlai: didn't that one twit/redditor get an email back agreeing to publish a sponsored feature?
BingoBoingo: mpmcsweeney: It's ok I don't work
asciilifeform: decimation: manual pick&place << not the least bit like what i'm doing. that's just a frame where you move the carriage with hands. can't move to coordinates of known points.
Adlai: (or some other asset issuance thingy if you don't like colored coins)
Adlai didn't, although he may go to an upcoming conference
cazalla: front page works, posts won't though mircea_popescu
Apocalyptic: BingoBoingo, doesn't look like it, I got a 403 now
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: For some tools, the only vendors don't care where money is headed because they have inventory
cazalla: anyone else getting "You don't have permission to access /index.php on this server." on qntra.net?
PinkPosixPXE: Fixed my issue earlier today, entropy isn't solely hardware dependant,
PinkPosixPXE: So we have to increase entropy somehow. This can be done with rng-tools, a package to use a hardware true number generator (TRNG). Don't worry, you don't need any extra hardware, we will use /dev/urandom as our true number generator.
asciilifeform: PinkPosixPXE: tools that help increase entropy << what've we come to. as if the heat death of universe weren't arriving quickly enough...
BingoBoingo: because apparently real Macs don't generate entropy
asciilifeform: down side - only eats usd, and doesn't give actual machine (not even vm.) so no persistent processes.
BingoBoingo: PinkPosixPXE: It is the only way to play. C is supposed to be portable. If your kernel can't take SPARC or 68K I dunno if it is correct enough to live
PinkPosixPXE: I don't choose the OS's, I just build them, configure, and maintain them when they break while management snaps the whip
PinkPosixPXE: I just didn't want to jump into trading right away, but if that was the requirement for level 2/+v, wanted to check
PinkPosixPXE: ah, so I Don't have to trade
PinkPosixPXE: k, just making sure I wasn't confused
DowntimeBsns: why don't you guys start a hosting business
Apocalyptic: mircea, can't you just nullroute the offending IPs or is the range too broad ?
BingoBoingo: A /.ing isn't this bad
mircea_popescu: ppls are "wtf is he talking about. can't be." then later "oh."
cazalla: ya can't use commas? swear i have done that before, probably ran into same problem
BingoBoingo: mpmcsweeney: You aren't getting Dos too are you?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i wouldn't be too worried about it, pop back up by tomorrow or w/e
BingoBoingo: I don't surrender to motherfuckers who could arrest me, why would I surrender to people who merely DOS me?
mircea_popescu: <punkman> mircea_popescu: btw what happens to dividends if I don't take delivery of bbet shares? << you don';t get em
devthedev: DNS hasn't propagated over there yet?
assbot: /hashtag/tittytuesday?src=hash What do you guys think of me as a blonde? ;) /hashtag/NSFW?src=hash /hashtag/boobies?src=hash http://t.co/tnGAlGl1Ja
BingoBoingo: Oh, you didn't see my slave name was lready on Trilema?
BingoBoingo: !t m s.qntr
BingoBoingo: !t m s.bbet
BingoBoingo: T m s.bbet
punkman: can't resist title
punkman: mircea_popescu: btw what happens to dividends if I don't take delivery of bbet shares?
nubbins`: i didn't even get to present my case :/
nubbins`: !t h hif
assbot: After DOS /qntra is back on stronger hosting http://t.co/PHhj2UHsaJ http://t.co/yCT4FzNaKh
cazalla: yeah, i don't mind that others beat their kids, not so sure i'd beat my own
mircea_popescu: if it were common knowledge there wouldn't be 100k+ broken wordpress installs all over the net.
mircea_popescu: which doesn't look like will ever be exhausted.
gribble: Error: You don't have the network.whois capability. If you think that you should have this capability, be sure that you are identified before trying again. The 'whoami' command can tell you if you're identified.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> bounce: we'd be talking seven figures in tax and enviro-bureaucracy fees alone. << you don't understand how leveraged crap generally is.
mircea_popescu: jurov> or you fess up to paypal crap? << cardano won't sell for fiat./
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> jurov: i'm not part of the 'cash economy' in any way, shape, or form. but even if i had the skills and social connections to house and feed myself using paper benjamins, it is quite impossible to obtain industrial equipment and parts from overseas in that way. <<< yeah, which is why meth isn't a problem either.
bounce: if the fab is laid up there's lots of tax break leverage. but you'd have to be a big corp to really make that happen. you know, apple and their sea^Wocean of bezzle. they can't use it in the usa though, have to buy up something somewhere else.
jurov: then, if you can't use btc now, how it will change?
assbot: Logged on 02-10-2014 05:27:15; asciilifeform: the pick'n'place cum pastelayer is the only cut to a 'gordian knot' - namely, can't have the boards populated at a genuine factory (prohibitive cost for small batches) - but can't populate by hand with acceptable yield (very fine-pitch components)
asciilifeform: bounce: this discussion is academic, however, because we can't afford the NRE that would be involved in having prototypes made in a 'proper' plant.
jurov: one needs to get creative. these overseas people don't know about btc?
asciilifeform: jurov: having large cash holdings is a health hazard where i live. and it isn't like i can buy machinery from, e.g., taiwan, with it, either.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i propose we go with xmas. if it works it'll be lulzy and if it doesn't idem.
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> i mean, a couple thousand hits a day shouldn't trigger any limits.. << you don't know much about the shitbox biz model do you.
mircea_popescu: <cazalla> suspended for excessive use of resources, can't even access cpanel or ftp to make a backup, submitted a ticket << that's classy o.o
asciilifeform: fact is - and i confessed this before on several occasions - i can't afford to move my equipment overseas, certainly can't afford to repurchase it, and moving so much as 300km in any geographic direction would leave me immediately without an income. insta-zap.
mike_c: i mean, a couple thousand hits a day shouldn't trigger any limits..
cazalla: BingoBoingo: Apocalyptic: Cazalla is hosting it, I don't have panel access <<< suspended for excessive use of resources, can't even access cpanel or ftp to make a backup, submitted a ticket
asciilifeform: thickasthieves: doesn't matter if the shareholders all wished this (in what hallucinogenic fantasy land?) - 300btc is simply nowhere near sufficient for this, considering esp. that most of it is direly necessary for the first mass production run.
asciilifeform: we don't actually have rule of law in usa.
mike_c: say it with me. "retail adoption doesn't mean shit"
mike_c: bubble? we haven't even caught up to last bubble yet.
mike_c: you shouldn't sell it anyway. tea leaves are all pointing up.
assbot: Logged on 02-10-2014 05:23:31; asciilifeform: i may have said it before, but i will repeat: s.nsa has a piggy (see mircea_popescu's site); every month, i invoice him for materials, get some btc. but, since i can't safely convert btc to usd where i live, i just sit on them. they will probably be buried with me. hence: s.nsa, presently, in practice runs on guess what (my pocket money...)
mike_c: so don't use it to take over the world. still seems useful as cloaking device.
gribble: diana_coman was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 6 days, 3 hours, 32 minutes, and 16 seconds ago: <diana_coman> I'm to blame for Sweete__ being here, since he pm-ed me about trading and I asked him why wasn't he in here if he was a trader
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't be surprised to find that something like a computer in three was actually raped
mircea_popescu: the emails i get tho... because these are WORDPRESS users right, so they can't leave fucking comments, they email
mircea_popescu: btc ain't going anywhere in the interval.
bounce: gah. found a piece of software that promised to let me configure some obscure hardware I happen to have. doesn't compile on freebsd because linuxisms all over. yet it does have supposedly-freebsd-enabling #ifdefs here and there. something with release engineering, lack thereof.
mircea_popescu: and don't be dumb enough to live in any sort of common property arrangement, if that's what's bothering you.
mircea_popescu: and if wife doesn't want to come you know right there she's angling to get murdered.
mircea_popescu: i dun get why these guys don't just move to saudi arabia.
bounce: shouldn't've killed the girl, there's much more deserving people in free software land.
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves: nsa doesnt let you tell when they tell you what to do << nah it wasn't a mole, it was an exploit. either the bash thing or something else not yet announced.
bounce: haven't really looked into http but I'm not surprised it's on par with html, ie not really parseable. esp. the w3c specs stand out because they're only written for the html writer, with nary a thought to the parser writer.
bounce was on the receiving end of a project where there wasn't a reference output generator for their extraspecial hand-crafted "xmlrpc" parsing, written in stereotypical India.
devthedev: That isn't much of a surprise
TomServo: hah, I didn't realize he was still around
danielpbarron: don't they like.. hate the japs?
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03 i'd love to, but i can't do it in the abstract.
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: a great deal of the shop's work is ios. can't not and do what we're paid for.
nubbins`: great until you've got a court date in an hour and you can't get your evidence printed in a timely fashion ;/
nubbins`: it's only a crime if you can't afford to commit it
mircea_popescu: this doesn't hold.
nubbins`: it's not like people are buying monsanto seed and saying "hey, wait, this isn't what i paid for"
mats_cd03: so, a flounder gene spliced into tomatoes that permit growth in regions that wouldn't support tomatoes naturally
mircea_popescu: no but i mean... "joe thinks 3x4 = 12, moe thins 3x4=13" this isn't a difference of opinions, inasmuch moe's thing isn't an opinion.
rithm: BingoBoingo didn't qntra basically scrape other sites
rithm: don't hack me bro
BingoBoingo: Apocalyptic: Cazalla is hosting it, I don't have panel access
rithm: wasn't it funny
mircea_popescu: if this country doesn't go bankrupt and with food riots in 2015 you may call me names.,
