mircea_popescu: i hope
that any future prosecutions of bitcoin include rock&roll caselaw.
mircea_popescu: The author further criticized Elvis's "motions and gestures, like
those of masturbation or riding a microphone," and added
that "Indications of
the harm Presley did ... were
two high school girls (...) whose abdomen and
thigh had Presley's autograph. ...
There is also gossip of
the Presley Fan Clubs
that degenerate into sex orgies."
The letter concluded with
the assumption
that, based on eyewitness reports, Presley was
mircea_popescu: In a 1956 letter
to J. Edgar Hoover, a former member of
the Army Intelligence Service stated
that Presley was a "definite danger
to
the security of
the United States" because he had driven girls and boys mad!
ozbot: Two examples of IRC misuse, with ample commentary. pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
dub: nationalise all
the
things
ozbot: Chinese Bitcoin Exchange Vanishes,
Taking £2.5m of Coins With It - Slashdot
ozbot: Venezuela vows
to
take other stores in attack on retailers
kakobrekla: >This will be our
third exchange move. Not many assets have lived
through GLBSE
then BTC-TC and now Havelock, but Cognitive will proudly surge forward!
nubbins`: i lel'd heartily
the first
time i heard
the word "hollywood" used in
that sense
nubbins`: "seriously guys, somebody cut me up a hollywood. i'm done with
this shit"
Vexual: needs
to bein in html 1.0,
those
tables look wrong
BingoBoingo: And
to my knowledge Kumala hasn't hired or credentialed a PR. Maybe CryptoSticks-PR should be an account?
mircea_popescu: someone should ipo cryptostocks on cryptotheother
thing
nubbins`: it's amazing how quickly people get pissed off when you immediately clatter off
the acronyms of
the sentences
they say
BingoBoingo: Hadn't Kumala been inactive on
the forum as well?
nubbins`: letter
transposition is seriously one of my
true joys
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo dudes had done
their research,
teppy had been inactive on forum for a while
nubbins`: what i should do is roll a large "jazz cigarette" and walk
to
the bank
nubbins`: "Hi Jon, Yes we spoke with
the seller
that
told us
that you had
taken down all of your products so we
thought you wanted your account closed so we went ahead and closed it, but we did not know
that you were still using it."
mircea_popescu: you saying rather
than a young woman it's really a very old pussy ?
nubbins`: no, it's seriously
the face of a cat
mircea_popescu: is it "my face is assshaped" or "my
tongue is coming out directly of my eyes" ?
nubbins`: "Are you sure you want
to send 'the internet'
to
the Recycle Bin?"
mircea_popescu: dubs
think about
the possibility as
they rm -rf *internet
dub: I
thought about
that possiblity as I
typed
mircea_popescu: dub you are mistaken. it's not
that women aren't hetero, it's
that women eating out women is quite hetero.
nubbins`: given
that i'm really just here
to mess with
the signal-to-noise ratio, i'd like
to see
the latter
☟︎ Vexual: id like
to read something about cake, whichever
that fits ionto better
mircea_popescu: so i could write an article
tit-led "normative heterosexuality for women, a guide" or else an article about good and bad uses of irc chans.
nubbins`: although on
that
tack, i'm a professional printer, not a professional artist ;)
Vexual: oh wait, i
thought pro bono was something else
Vexual: are you double pro
then mp?
dub: technically
the internet is for
trolling and I get paid
to internet
nubbins`: asciilifeform: we had
the benefit of history, we were able
to gloss over some of
the lead-up
mircea_popescu: i have no idea how
this guy can simultaneously believe in global warming but also understand subtle points about math and art.
nubbins`: there might be a moral in
there somewhere
nubbins`: (and mildly displeased
that it
took four hours of lectures
to prove it!)
nubbins`: i was chagringed
to learn
that
the rest of
the world
takes "1+1=2" as an axiom
nubbins`: in my infinite wisdom, i decided
that pure math would provide me with
the best job prospects
nubbins`: there were
three majors
that fell under
the umbrella of
the math dept: pure math, applied math, and stats
BingoBoingo: nubbins`:
That is because mathematics and statistics are different
things, I've been
told... At least by
the mathematicians.
Vexual: blindly accepting whatver your stats software says is
the accepted model
nubbins`: anyway,
turns out you can get a degree in mathematics without having done more
than a single stats course
Vexual: how can you
tell? you alm,ost failed stats!
nubbins`: because you can't even set
the price of your items in btc
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
The
thing is python makes it easy
to write something.
The joy
though comes from !import (your bit of 68k asm) and gradually removing
the python.
nubbins`: so scathing, in fact,
that my account doesn't exist anymore
nubbins`: i
then sent coingig a scathing email
nubbins`: i politely informed him
that
the listing was removed 3 months ago and coingig keeps resurrecting it against my wishes
nubbins`: okay, so
the poor sap who
tried
to buy one of my casascius coins at below face value on coingig sent me a "how do i know
this isn't a scam?!" message
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Mostly python scripts for modeling various
things. Not usually useful
things, but more as a self improvement
thing.
BingoBoingo: Vexual: Oh
the X-ray was
the least harsh part of pneumoencephelopathy. Consider
the root words. Where is air going?
BingoBoingo: Well, I mean I've been using
the SE/30 for non-crypto maths as well.
Vexual: you gonna hack a scanner with an xray
tube and hook it up
to your old mac?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I know, but
the FPU helps when doing maths. One
thing
the SE/30 did well was run python.
Vexual: youre right nubbins' im
thinking of enthalpy
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: So it seems. I actually feel lucky
this dinosaur includes a co processor for floating point math.
nubbins`: hipster jealousy is
too uniform
to be a good source of entropy
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It seems like I might have
to see if I can find
the script
that generates entropy from hookers and microphones from
the
trilema comments.
ozbot: DSLinux - Linux for
the Nintendo DS
nubbins`: Vexual:
that's what
the lady said
to
the sailor
Vexual: put your floppy in and out a few
times
dub: what
the fuck are you smoking
nubbins`: too commonplace
to
trust, i guess
BingoBoingo: Vexual:
The
thing is
there aren't many machines available
that use so little bench space while not being x86 or ARM.
Vexual: sell it
to a hipster and get a decent machine
BingoBoingo: That would probably also keep it more
true
to
the "Vintage"
theme
BingoBoingo: Fuck it, I'm just going
to hit
the off switch and read up on A/UX and see if
there might be any way
to build GPG on
there.
Vexual: i just wanted
to say mouses
BingoBoingo: I'll also
try mashing
the keyboard
to generate some entropy
