KRS-: i barely know how
to use my droid phone lol
KRS-: for
the record I'm nothing like
that..not a redneck but drive a newer model diesel 4x4
truck and have a fast car for drag racing, but haven't messed with it in a while..go
to bars with friends and hang out when i can.
KRS1: hey i have a friend like
that
KRS1: I sit in a chair every day. I know everything
there is
to know about it.
KRS1: CEO..now I've got
to start planning for my new position as chairman
jurov: oh, and nobody charts it? gotta fix
that
pankkake: that shit is not really bitcoin specific, i've seen many open source projects get press coverage, even get funding (Diaspora*), when no one on board was able
to really do
the job
punkman: Open
Transactions seems
to do some useful
things, but
they want
to become a startup now
punkman: "Perhaps you will even be able
to
trade a protoshares-backed currency on
top of Mastercoin for BitMastercoins one day."
ozbot: Bitcoin 2.0 Explained: Colored Coins Vs Mastercoin Vs Open
Transactions Vs Protoshares - Yahoo Voice
nubbins`: pankkake,
then
there would be no cheerleaders
nubbins`: i
think
the shits came from
that google knol over
there
mircea_popescu: just how ragingly uncultivated does one
to be
to be
these days
mircea_popescu: there's 3-4 blocks within
ten minutes,
then half hour off,
then again
nubbins`: mostly sodium on
the poles here
jurov: well, over
there in austria/germany
they use linear fluorescents for streetlights
jurov: wait when
they put LEDs in
mircea_popescu: (timisoara is
teh first
town in
teh world
to use electric lighting btw)
mircea_popescu: some haven't burned out/been broken in
the more rural parts
mircea_popescu: incidentally,
the idea with led lighting is
to go for spots i
think
pankkake: I've had a lot of incandescents burn in less
than 6 months. but it might have been
the container's fault,
too much heat
mircea_popescu: "currently coal burning means x mercury released in atmosphere per hour. we
take
that x and split it : 40% goes
to atmosphere, 60% goes
to your own house. but we're only gonna
talk ofg
the 40%"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform>
the CFL
thing is cynical bastards knowing exactly what
they're doing, rather
than mere ineptitude. << verily.
nubbins`: generally i find CFLs
to be mercilessly cold
nubbins`: well
that's
the other problem,
the
type of light
nubbins`: i'll probably start moving
to LED when
the current bulbs start going
pankkake: some LEDs are good, but you have
to hunt…
nubbins`: almost started
tearing out
the wiring, decided
to check
the box
nubbins`: well i
tell you, i busted
three CFLs in my bedroom before realizing
that
they're not meant for dimmers.
kakobrekla: its efficient heater compared
to inefiicient light source
pankkake: usually regulations like
that come with requirements
that allow only one manufacturer
nubbins`: i wonder do
they understand
that domestically-produced incandescents shipped in corrugated cardboard makes more sense
than chinese CFLs in plastic clamshells shipped across an ocean?
pankkake: they probably want
to ban inefficient heaters
pankkake: environmentalists don't understand
that
nubbins`: i should be allowed
to use
the most inefficient bulbs possible
mircea_popescu: Jan 19 22:16:32 <mircea_popescu>how would i go about
that ?
mircea_popescu: Jan 19 22:16:24 <woopstar>mircea_popescu: you need
to contact
Theo
mircea_popescu: Jan 19 22:14:04 <mircea_popescu>soo, who has
the authority
to make a deal so I can cover
the 20k shortfall ?
nubbins`: well,
the issue i have is
that my home requires heating nine months out of
the goddamn year.
nubbins`: you occasionally see people at
the hardware store with a shopping cart full of incandescent bulbs
nubbins`: too bad
they'll soon be -- no joke -- ILLEGAL here
nubbins`: probably using incandescent bulbs
too,
the bastards
punkman: seems like a lot for just electricity, what
the fuck does he have stashed in
there
pankkake: basically
to fund
theo's "datacenter"
punkman: don't
they need most of
the money
to keep
testing builds on a bunch of old hardware?
pankkake: maybe people don't know
that funds openssh
jurov: they should make openssh issue spammy donation pledges every now and
then. problem solved
nubbins`: the fault is mine on
that point
mircea_popescu: not my fault people spam
the chan with stuff one could even claim is relevant.
pankkake: openbsd = grumpy paranoid old guys so I
thought it would fit in here
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it was my sort-of clever retort
to nubbins
nubbins`: dated a girl years ago whose grandfather was an oil guy. he couldn't even keep
track of all
the places he owned land.
nubbins`: maybe
the only calgarian who doesn't work in
the service, oil, or cattle industries
nubbins`: was surprised
to learn de Raadt was canadian
ozbot: "OpenBSD will shut down if we do not have
the funding"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the fact
that
there are commecrial fleets worth >1bn does not necessarily mean any one ceo is living in better conditions
than your average gulag campmaster.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: let me guess, not enough
to sustain
their lavish lifestyles? ;p
