trinque: danielpbarron: it's an insecurity, i.e. "if she has had other dick onoes she might think of that dick at some point"
danielpbarron: i cannot fathom why anyone would want her to be trained by other guys
danielpbarron: what I don't get is how the "cool guys" as you put it don't mind that their girls have been "passed around"
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-15#1522090 << i was expecting to read about cardboard, prefab sheetboard, poisonous insulation, 1,001 actual things, and instead reading feng shui garbage ? ☝︎
trinque: yep, I will write a from-scratch RSS thing sometime this week.
asciilifeform: ;;later tell trinque i think deedbot may be actually broken. e.g., where is http://phuctor.nosuchlabs.com/gpgkey/0648EBDEEF3F210D6A081115BD29DC916FCC304D6839A0D142993D704EACB182 ?
danielpbarron: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-15#1522057 << I do not care what she thinks is cool. As I said already, the onus is on the guys; the girls are the commodity being used improperly ☝︎
asciilifeform: largely against pre-diddled (but i repeat myself) ciscos.
danielpbarron: not only is she defiled, so is the land. It's a violent act to separate what God has joined. I have a blog article that's nearly finished about just this.
danielpbarron: surely it is the failure of men when this happens. I do not blame the girls, for they are the "weaker vessels"
danielpbarron: i'm not necessarily describing girls that have left me, although they do exist
trinque: danielpbarron: I'm speaking from her perspective, not yours
danielpbarron: 1) someone i'd want to fuck that 2) hasn't already been fucked
trinque: danielpbarron: I met plenty in tx public school
danielpbarron: hm? I'm not defending anything about twatter
shinohai: i thought mircea_popescu proved that `promoted tweets` was garbage ?
danielpbarron: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-15#1521789 << yeah twatter doesn't even work in my web browser anymore-- can only use it from my phone. As for the "abstinence only," I wish such a girl existed. Who has ever met such a thing? ☝︎
pete_dushenski: trinque: ya, i looked too
mircea_popescu: lol i was talking in teh general. dun worry, has nothing to do with you.
mircea_popescu: tautology is the last ditch in the fight with they who do not wish to understand the plainly obvious. there's little more to be said to "i just want it to work" crowd than some tautology or other, because the problem in their head is exactly this : to them, it ISNT tautological.
asciilifeform: last i recall they moved to this weird lease thing.
mircea_popescu: i'd expect yeah.
asciilifeform: i know a fella who saw a (1990s-era isp) business slowly sink due to an eternal visa chargeback rape, stemming originally from 1 single hack
asciilifeform: rich folk buy the death ray from 'ghostbuster' i imagine.
asciilifeform: phf: i was thinking of 'civilian' accts.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what's to elaborate ? "item x does not exist" "but i think it does" "good for you and good luck with santa"
phf: asciilifeform: i don't think that's "secret", that's somewhere in the contract that you sign with a visa network, which is separate from bank's contract
asciilifeform: i'd naively suppose it'd be an open'n'shut case
phf: the overdraft thing, i thought, is a feature, that you negotiate when you sign the contract
phf: i find it convenient, that, so far, i was able to walk into branches in different parts of the world, and extract 2-3k at a time to cover me for a few days of vacation. sometimes i also get sloppy (3am, i'm drunk), so i'll pull money from atm in some dodgy location
phf: i have a card that's linked to my spending account, where i have to explicitly go and transfer money from a different account. at most i'm standing to lose $5k or so
asciilifeform: i left the cardz at home when i got on the plane.
mircea_popescu: they mostly don't, and the "i'm not about to use card in foreign skimreader slit" is unescapable policy in plenty of real life situations.
phf: i mean, ~i~ benefit from "$300 back", why would i pretend like i'm mircea_popescu?
mircea_popescu: i'm actually not using a bank account.
phf: mircea_popescu: no, i had some dodgy charges removed though
phf: and i've extracted cash from them for the duration of my stay
mircea_popescu: i actually use a clip. it's pretty great, can swallow a hundred bill stack vertically, or else just folds whatrever.
phf: mircea_popescu: i wouldn't say hsbc branches are everywhere, but they've been in every country i've been to so far
trinque: y'know... I bet he has a few of them buttcoins.
thestringpuller: i'm not gonna keep mils in my house
thestringpuller: so you don't leave any cash in banks or like what is the arrangement there is more what I'm inquring about :P
mircea_popescu: but manhattan hq was "oh, we can't do that, they're not actually OURS" when i wanted them to etc.
mircea_popescu: if i have a roll and i want to pay 2k, i peel 2k off the roll. if i have a card i do what, wait for a week to get 400 / day ?
asciilifeform: phf: supposedly. i have not tested the 'world' part, dun particularly relish feeding card skimmer debit card
thestringpuller: mod6: it's insane man. the AI in Absolution is a beast. when you kill someone normally, like with gun or fiber wire, it leaves marks on the body, and AI will see that. so they detect someone is there. however, there are ways people can die where the AI is just like "Huh. That's a shitty way to go." For instance I put some kinda acid in this d00ds hair regrowing gel or whatever. he puts it on, and it melts his head off and everyone aro
phf: asciilifeform: as far as i gather they have highest ground coverage of all banks on account of running the world, which means that i can get a no fee atm pretty much anywhere
phf: i used to travel with cash before i got an hsbc account
thestringpuller: when i was reading that i asked myself, "Who travels with cash anymore?"
mircea_popescu: and in other morning shower thoughts, http://67.media.tumblr.com/7e58fd69aa991656ace8a66cb7719d5d/tumblr_mynatycCdI1t2iu5ho1_500.gif << "i love chicks with small hands. they make my schlong look longer than their thigh"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i can't help but wonder wtf actually goes on at these conferences
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: If your only "competition" is Toni Lane Caserole, I'm a little sad inside.
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2016/too-poor-for-trees-too-dumb-to-know-it/ << i dedicate this to asciilifeform for all his help in chasing down pieces of it!
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-15#1521785 << i confess to wondering, of whom there is more - 'blog on proper, hand-admin'd machine' people, or of gentoo users.' ☝︎
mircea_popescu: there's http://btcbase.org/log/2015-02-03#1005509 but i suspect that was earlier. ☝︎
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: i had to unfollow George Takei cause I think he's just being paid by blog spammers to post blog spam.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-15#1521774 << i dun think ina grigg has enough study under this belt to produce usable overview studies on such matters. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: where by so on i mean truly basic stuff such as "what happens to a tub when you open the faucets and plug the drain ???"
covertress: sorry to spam n dash... but, I'm pooped... cu tomorrow ;) nn - Steph
mircea_popescu: i'm not following.
asciilifeform: well hm, i'd say it does, but the deception is that there are now '100 yachts' for same value of 'yacht' as when there were 10
asciilifeform: 'Ya I wont be betting on this site until they pay the winners for the original trump nominee bet, very shady behaivor.' << holy mother of fuck.
trinque: asciilifeform: nothing heavy. I will probably give in and write my own RSS thing this week.
mod6: this is mainly a learning device anyway. as now I can take what i've learned here and apply it to the makefiles.
mod6: essentially, i've taken all the buildroot deps (typically collected from the wan), along with the trb deeds, placed them in a local dir with the build script (modified to suit this process) and launched.
mod6: So in test-land news; I've created a working totally off-line build for trb.
znort987: mircea_popescu: was just pointing out that I ought to actually look at what I'm looking at. Re bitfinex: neve understood why people would want ever leave their coinz in other people's pockets. pretty much negates everything bitcoin is about.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-14 17:29 Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-13#1520649 && https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/4xj6uw/bitcoin_previously_had_all_the_properties_that/d6fwloo && http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-04#1445489 << ...soo, has anyone an idea how hawala-like exchange structures for say bitcoin could be encouraged? i've read and liked http://thestringpuller.com/2016/06/bitcoin-in-wakanda/ which is more of a vision of course..
thestringpuller: Framedragger: in regards to http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-14#1521475 << I was trying to make a point in regards to Ver's idealism. Currently if 1993 AOL "mass adoption" occurs, the underbanked will inevitably be left out due to lacking infrastructure of the sovereign nature. Ver despite calling himself an anarchist is still willing to suck the USG dick, which helps no one. The fact he responded with "You found a new business opportun ☝︎
znort987: mircea_popescu: cant say that I do. gotta go read up on it I guess. pointerz ?
a111: Logged on 2016-08-14 19:36 znort987: so anyhoo ... reason I'm here is simply to make a statement: bitbet is whole, not a cent of customer funds is ever accessible from the internet, and bitfinex was *never* used (nor were any other online wallets / exchanges / etc ...)
znort987: like I said earlier, the fact I had never sent email that wasn't encrypted nor signed during the bitbet auction should have been a dead giveaway that it wasn't me talking.
znort987: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-14#1521634 << unfortunate combo of yahoo security model flaw (they claimed they "obsoleted" security questions when in fact the "obsoleted" part means they can't be changed but can still be used for account recovery) and my being careless/lazy (security question/answers were weak and I never bothered to fix while I could). ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: bonus fact, i finished $job with angle grinder, also chinese, which overheated and began to smoke.
asciilifeform: i bet actual, e.g., aluminum, would have cost ~less~
asciilifeform: meanwhile mircea_popescu , i have a http://www.loper-os.org/pub/saw.jpg to match your http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/periplus-2.jpg .
a111: Logged on 2016-08-14 19:48 asciilifeform: znort987: i'd say that getting out of coinbase, and similar insanity, or at the very least 'washing' their coinz, if they insist on using usgbase, is the responsibility of the affected users, not of bbet.
mircea_popescu: "oh but i don't want to run a node" "fu"
mircea_popescu: oh i guess he's gone now is he ?
mircea_popescu: in other news i had drinks with the dominicans running the official bar of the hos do kids' day event ; will put pics up as soon as im done with this log
a111: Logged on 2016-08-14 18:50 phf: well, there is the wot, though nobody here as far as i know is buying/selling. there was also bitcoin-otc, which from what i hear died. i actually tried buying 10btc from a guy that was in bitcoin-otc wot, but we were l3, and he understandably bulked
a111: Logged on 2016-08-14 18:47 phf: Framedragger: i was saying hawala as an alternative to bitcoin. that was when we were looking closely at the implementation and finding all kinds of insanity. hawala is a system for tracking long term exposure, and you forego collateral because you have "fuck same woman" wot (i suspect there's still collateral involved when exposure is too high). you don't need hawal when you have near instant calls.
mats: danielpbarron: i don't follow this bit about taint only being a thing when used against usg
znort987: anyhoo ... gotta jet. will be back now that I've actually managed to get on irc properly. ta.
znort987: asciilifeform: yeah but I'm a sucker for making user's life easier/better, my bias I guess.
znort987: mats: nope. wallet used to send payouts has all kinds of addies in it. it has a lot of 1X* because when I rebuild the cold wallet I pumped 20K addies in it at once, and they all came out that way.
asciilifeform: znort987: i'd say that getting out of coinbase, and similar insanity, or at the very least 'washing' their coinz, if they insist on using usgbase, is the responsibility of the affected users, not of bbet. ☟︎
asciilifeform: mats: as i understand, his contention was that the heuristic ~does not work~, rather than 'should not be relied on'
mats: and i see that
znort987: danielpbarron: understood but ... crypto-hard proof of solvency would be a very nice feature I think.
znort987: coinbase's life I mean
asciilifeform: mats: mircea_popescu will drill you a new arse for this contention (though i still do not grasp why) ☟︎
znort987: so anyhoo ... reason I'm here is simply to make a statement: bitbet is whole, not a cent of customer funds is ever accessible from the internet, and bitfinex was *never* used (nor were any other online wallets / exchanges / etc ...) ☟︎
mats: the o-noes-i'm-a-victim bit is played out.
asciilifeform: mats: i think at this point he has an emacs macro that craps this string out, or sumthing
znort987: asciilifeform: correct. and I sent him a private email (properly gpg'd) this morning. he said he had smelled something funny.
znort987: including a doxx threat if I didn't pay 5 BTC lol
phf: danielpbarron: jerkcity just came up in a conversation with some oldfags. it doesn't really translate and is part of a now dead culture. there's also http://yellow5.com/pokey/ and some others that i will probably go "oh man i remember thaaat one." if i were to see it. it's back when absurd non sequiturs typed in all caps was a thing, somehow it's part of hacker culture, which i think goes back to zippy the pinhead
znort987: thing is: I never, ever sent an email to either of these 3 that wasn't a) encrypted b) signed
znort987: ben_vulpes: never been on irc before. i'm actually here to explain
