fluffypony: RebeccaBitcoin: again - for ordinary users you simply need something that is completely under your control, and for your purposes Electrum is fine. It is small and lightweight, it doesn'
t download the full blockchain (about 20mb in downloads is all it needs thus far), and it has a 12 word mnemonic you write down to backup your wallet. It's literally all I need.
mircea_popescu: RebeccaBitcoin you know we didn'
t steal any of the OTHER btc that got stolen, either.
RebeccaBitcoin: I don'
t know how to do the thing that makes your name light up
ben_vulpes: we're trying to tell you that it ain'
t secure at all., honey.
RebeccaBitcoin: my concern is that the mouse movey thing for like 5 seconds isn'
t all that secure
fluffypony: I don'
t think the mouse movey thing is any worse than the the way /dev/urandom collects entropy from mouse movements / keyboard entry
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> A project to create a completely open-source SoC is... hiring ? isn'
t this just a little odd, where'd a coupla hobbists get teh funding ? o, snap. not *that* kind of open source, is it. << Seems like it prolly is *that* kind
mircea_popescu: on this much we can agree, random derps don;'
t need to discuss anything with me.
fluffypony [23:45:53] OgNasty: I don'
t need to discuss anything with that porn peddling pathetic excuse for a man. ;)
fluffypony: [23:44:43] OgNasty: fluffypony, I don'
t decide anything. I don'
t run NastyFans.
fluffypony: [23:44:29] +fluffypony: mircea isn'
t in this channel

pete_dushenski: mp's thermodynamic pic isn'
t an old man's adam's apple...
BigBitz: I don'
t like to move them from my 'main' laptop.
mircea_popescu: but the various hedge funds operating as colleges don'
t want to lose money on the deal... so they're pushing to reduce the curricula further.
mircea_popescu: you see, student debt is a major problem, and since the fed doesn'
t want to give kids free money, the central college administration will have to further cheapen tuition
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell bingoboingo "A project to create a completely open-source SoC" is... hiring ? isn'
t this just a little odd, where'd a coupla hobbists get teh funding ? o, snap. not *that* kind of open source, is it.
BingoBoingo: I didn'
t fail so much as the Instructor was insufferable and I knocked over my king so I could expend more effort on lava lamp divination or pussy or something.
TheNewDeal: I took undergrad level thermodynamics and heat xfer and can'
t identify it outright
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i wasn'
t aware entrepreneur ppls are like allowed to go for the night.
BingoBoingo: OMG browsershots doesn'
t consider me a gambling/adult site anymoar!!!!!!!!!!!!! Must fix
mike_c: <+mircea_popescu>
http://www.btcalpha.com/ << check out nubbins' idea of "centered" << tough to center when the iframe adds random padding on user agent stylesheet that isn'
t being removed yet by ad network. but it's pretty center.
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> "chiggidey check yourself before you wreck yourself...big dicks in your ass is bad for your health"? << Mr. Hands was from your part of the Wastes wasn'
t he?
mike_c: well, you make a nice looking site and people can'
t resist putting cocks all over it
justusranvier: (I didn'
t write it - code was contributed by an anonymous benefactor)
mike_c: well, it's like the weather. wait a bit and conditions will change. volatility can'
t stay in the cellar forever
mike_c: i gotta say, i'm glad i don'
t run a btc investment fund in the current climate.
mircea_popescu: "Mostly, though, given that the use of government drones on American soil is an issue that demands to be taken seriously, fantasizing about blowing them to pieces doesn'
t seem to lend itself being an appropriate voice in what should be an important and thoughtful debate."
pete_dushenski: we went as a family, including grandparents who hadn'
t been back since 1960's, in 2005
pete_dushenski: he has some distilled wisdom and doesn'
t crack a lot of eggs….
mircea_popescu: well this isn'
t a problem of up or down, just, wtf am i going to do with all this capital.
mircea_popescu: "Well, not a perfect match, but close enough for government work." this is an expression isn'
t ot.
mike_c: companies don'
t set prices, markets do.
mike_c: i can'
t even guess. i don'
t understand the thinking.
mike_c: no, you guys don'
t get it. this time will be different. #etherrocks
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: BingoBoingo: I'm pretty sure this isn'
t like MaidSafe - Vitalik does the tour circuit, and he's been building up to this for a while << so he's the new neoderp, whatever was that kid's name.
mircea_popescu: the despicable vulgus considers itself whatever it is that pays. being rich doesn'
t pay anymore, it's much better to "have needs"
decimation: I don'
t dispute your point, I just find the irony amusing
punkman: it's good that they couldn'
t sell equity on kickstarter
mircea_popescu: no you fuckwits, it hasn'
t. it yielded a lot of ridicule for how kickstarter fails on both ends : it's not a way to get financed and it's not a way to allocate capital. well done.
mircea_popescu: <thickasthieves> sry mp, looks like you have to move! << you know the derps haven'
t even come to pay homage ?
mircea_popescu: right, because people who can'
t afford a piddly 100k are totally entitled to pursue their dreams now. and because people can learn how to make films. in school.
mircea_popescu: think of it : monkeys don'
t suffer much from it, so it's been around for a while. sure yurpeans "discovered it" but it can'
t possibly be the first case of interaction.
BingoBoingo: At least it isn'
t in the human genome like Herpes
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo afaik there was. << Problem is living cells (where antibodies don'
t go) harbor the pathogen in the case of AIDs
BingoBoingo: Well, this stuff takes time, but yeah... One thing that makes this easier on Ebola and harder on say the flu though is... Ebola doesn'
t stay latent in cells
mike_c: crooked cocks just won'
t do.
mircea_popescu: i mean, so they're hipsters. we don'
t take them to bed. you won'
t even sell them liquour now ?
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: I'm pretty sure this isn'
t like MaidSafe - Vitalik does the tour circuit, and he's been building up to this for a while
BingoBoingo: <fluffypony> you have to admit, though, he's a good salesman << How do you know much of it wasn'
t a hail mary with his own kitty?
BigBitz: didn'
t bistamp ask people for miner receipts etc? previously...
BingoBoingo: ATC's been pretty stable and that ain'
t bad.
Vexual: i understand if you can'
t comment
ben_vulpes: the best i've come up with isn'
t even complete
BingoBoingo: "The teams have all been provided with Russian
T-72B tanks, except for the Chinese, who apparently came with their own vehicles."
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu> wait. isn'
t a piece of armor made out of floor tile actually going to SHARPEN the blade on its way in ? << You forget 'Murican series with subsequent blindspot towards sharp objects as a thing to armor against.
mircea_popescu: wait. isn'
t a piece of armor made out of floor tile actually going to SHARPEN the blade on its way in ?
mircea_popescu: let's just hope he doesn'
t figure out how to make girls before he finishes cardano
mircea_popescu: The malpid don'
t have to establish that criticism of them as wrong, because they will instead insist the criticism is mean. When their favored shiny object betrays them, they will insist the criticism could not have been right as it was mean and they were doomed by some nebulous concept; perhaps they invoke "events that transpired", maybe they invoke "people were mean and that destroyed confidence in out project", but
mthreat: mircea_popescu: who, michelle rodriguez? don'
t you watch fast & furious movies??
Vexual: you couldn'
t flip a house if it was already upside down
The20YearIRCloud: Correct, and many don'
t have good credit either, most americans can'
t manage their money
peterl: currently US banks require a large down payment to get a mortgage, USians have no savings, therefore they can'
t buy a house
The20YearIRCloud: Outside of the multi-family properties we have that we haven'
t been able to renovate, all our properties are very nice
The20YearIRCloud: Most people I've talked to don'
t have the cash outlay to fix say a $4k roof when the time comes, and they make the choice of renting so someone else has to deal with it.
The20YearIRCloud: asciilifeform: in our area, the median home value is around $100k, most of the properties we have are worth around $75k or so after rehab, so they're not really bad houses. Most of our renters have small-ish incomes and they don'
t want to mess with repairs
