danielpbarron: ok, I'll down you till then
znort987: I gues that's a yes. will try
znort987: danielpbarron: I think I've managed to do that in #bitcoin-assets
phf: i was trying to figure out when i started reading your blog, and found this lulzy post http://www.loper-os.org/?p=18
phf: i like the first comment, "How many years has ThePirateBay been up? They’re not going to shut down the bitcoin network".
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i thought ~whole point was the spam filter.
phf: asciilifeform: yes, that's the first bitcoin article i read end to end. i read satoshi's paper immediately after
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: oh pish and tosh. the only thing i threw out while banging on mp-wp was the comment time-sensitivity, and i even got around to fixing that.
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell gabriel_laddel i'm not keeping interns at the moment
phf: main reason i avoided bitcoin news for years, because it was altcoins mixed with a bunch of ~obviously~ idiotic ventures.
mats: i was tired of reading about ripples by december 2013
mats: shinohai: I don't want to read about ethereum or ethereum-likes unless it is about holders being herded into cattle cars and gassed

phf: asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-14#1521475 i was responding to this ☝︎
asciilifeform: phf et al: did i ~and~ the log somehow get netsplit, and miss a thread, or is the hawala thing a continuation of pm or whatever
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 ☟︎
phf: probably what thestringpuller means is that "we" (he's speaking to a bunch of reddit anons, so i assume it's purely rhetorical) don't have a wot based market.
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: i'd be disappointed if that made its way into qntra
a111: Logged on 2016-04-04 16:22 phf: given the state of things, i'm not convinced that hawala is the worst we can do

mircea_popescu: anyway, i shall go festejar el dia de "lxs ninxs" con las trabajadoras sexuales in constitucion, "barrio donde por la niche muchos no desean transitar".
covertress: danielpbarron: the only time I hear "universe" confused with 'god' is from AA members.
covertress: at the same time, I think that everyone is within their own universe
danielpbarron: i don't even care for the term universe; it's usually used as a replacement for God, personified and everything ala "the universe did X"
covertress: I'm of the opinion that there is only one universe
covertress: I *do specialize at K.I.S.S.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform check it out, i get a pictogram response.
asciilifeform: and holy shit, i broke a chinese centerpunch.
mircea_popescu: on't add me. Thanks for your corporation.. Your satisfaction is what we want. I will be expecting your reply. Just add and inbox me and I will help you to become a member of the great Illuminati.Thanks once again I am Bella Wilfred and your happiness is what we want."
mircea_popescu: on just add and message me..and if you are in Kenya, south Africa, Tanzania,India,Zambia, Ghana, don't add me... Because I can't help you. I can't help you if you are from those country. But if you are in the USA, UK, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, NIGERIA,Nether land, Poland, and if you are in European and Asia country and so on you can also add me let's talk and I will help you be a member... Once again if you are not serious d
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz, "I am here to help you become rich and famous.. If you are not serious in becoming a member please don't even think of adding me or sending me a message because I won't be happy with you.but if you know you are serious and ready to become a member just add me now let's talk and let's get to know each other more better. If you wanna be famous like rihanna, jazzy, Eminem,rick Ross, Lil Wayne, bey once and so
mircea_popescu: nah, i'm a very mild hotness sort of guy.
covertress: I grow my own Japapenos next to Jabaneros, so they cross-polinate and become hotter.
covertress: lately, I've been enjoying Irish, grass-fed varieties. Can distinguish regions sometimes.
mircea_popescu: you should see these people. i bought two hot peppers, they sold them with nuclear warhead warnings.
mircea_popescu: tho i couldn't be arsed to make it anymore than cazu marzu.
mircea_popescu: i just don't like cooking the barbarian stuff.
mircea_popescu: ah, not so simple as all that. depends what mood i wake up in et all.
mircea_popescu: covertress i on occasion cook, but euro dishes. i do eat most everything at home, i even have sushi expert chick nao!
mircea_popescu: though in general this is the job of the god damned cook, which is why i don't eat just anywhere.
mircea_popescu: ~the only thing i liked about it was that the meat was cut very thin and you could hold-cook it to a very fine degree.
mircea_popescu: well, i'm new.
mats: 'hot pot' is a thing, but i've not seen a chinese place with hot plates unless they're also korean fusion or something
mats: i've never been to the chinese restaurant where they just bring you stuff
mircea_popescu: anyway. a large part of the problem with "i think better in symbols" is exactly evident here : sure, you think you do, much like dude in bathtub feels he's going faster. nevertheless YOU CANT FUCKING EXPLAIN WHAT YOU THOUGHT.
asciilifeform: i am familiar with some of the ways in which 'stranger.'
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't go as far as that. but not entirely unfamiliar.
mircea_popescu: heh, i guess my father also.
asciilifeform: thing is, i know a bit about orcish 'ip theft' business, father spent most of his life doing just it.
asciilifeform: this is the thing i'd dearly like to see die
shinohai: I decided to stuff the whole thing in an .img file so you don't have to reinvent the whole server wheel every time
shinohai: ben_vulpes: i didn't have to do anything to get it all to work besides diff and apply phf 's patch and directions
asciilifeform: this ^ even i can see, and i am 'management expert' like i am concert violinist.
asciilifeform: recall, i ~like~ fpga, and if it were my will, it would be the only logic chip produced, and anyone who 'needs' ddr3 clock can get phucked
mircea_popescu: hence why i say drones. you recall the thread ? with "air fence"| for olympics ?
asciilifeform: (in fact it was the example i gave in the original thread concerning it, re a 'final solution' to subj.)
asciilifeform: none of this, i thought, is controversial.
mircea_popescu: so then the correct statement would have been "it's not clear yet if it'll ever be useful", with which i agree, not "it can't happen".
mircea_popescu: do you see where the "oh i know how these assholes are cheating their customers" and "oh chinese have no economic incentive" do not communicate in your head ?
asciilifeform: anyway metal fpga is great, i'll take ten right now if it's a dime.
mircea_popescu: look, it's not a value judgement on you. i'm interested in the process.
mircea_popescu: i get it why you think it's beneficial to be narrow minded. get it that this virtually never works to any sort of useful or interesting conclusion.
asciilifeform: hey i actually nailed that prediction
asciilifeform: well i have the elementary clue re what device is used for, who buys, where it is a physico-economical win and where - not, etc.
asciilifeform: i need moar lsd or wat.
asciilifeform: thing is that i actually have a clue here.
mircea_popescu: look : we keep "having these threads" where you keep sprouting nonsense about how you think the world works. we'll have them until either you give up on thinking you have a clue on these things ; or i get tired of it.
mircea_popescu: anyway ; seems a fine principle, and i see no other available.
mircea_popescu: i never heard of this "illegal to see" thing
asciilifeform: phun phakt: the last time i went to a voting booth, i took out driver license to give to the clerk, to be checked off the list (there is a list of townspeople with tickyboxes next to names) and clerk turned around in horror, 'put it away!' -- turns out it was (or at least thought to be) now illegal for clerk to LOOK AT such a thing, in many states incl. md.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes. for instance - i could supply observers, working on this principle.
mircea_popescu: in any case, it's not reactive to this low level "i shall now examine cracks" approach.
asciilifeform: the only kind i'm familiar with is when orc land 'opposition party' 'calls in observers' so that usg-favoured output can be hardcoded in.
mircea_popescu: yes, yes, i get it : life is a contest for life, and you have your favourite horse. this is fine. the important point here however isn't so much "what trump can accomplish" but "mp is as far as the internet can tell trump's campaign strategist. because no one other has better proof."
asciilifeform: hey if the man can turn shit into gold, i'll clap.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-14 05:12 ben_vulpes: phf, shinohai, trinque, asciilifeform, mircea_popescu: i elected to nuke the "stale comments" thing, i'd be much obliged if any of y'all have a patch for that. in exchange i've got a patch on wp-comments.php for the suffix trick, not that it's hard or anything
ben_vulpes: no, i put the staleness back in
mircea_popescu: yeh, alf reported that too, i recall.
ben_vulpes: 3) i excised a tril_ from wp-comments.php, replacing it with my db prefix
mircea_popescu: 2 would have fixed 1 too i suspect.
ben_vulpes: 2) i added the suffix generation routine to the template page, and appended the suffix to the relevant form names.
ben_vulpes: 1) i commented out the line in wp-comments that checks for the delta between now and the comment time being greater than or less than two magic numbers.
ben_vulpes: i am stone cold sober
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i pulled out the "comment_checks"
ben_vulpes: but i wanted it to work!
ben_vulpes: i r phpbro nao
ben_vulpes: phf, shinohai, trinque, asciilifeform, mircea_popescu: i elected to nuke the "stale comments" thing, i'd be much obliged if any of y'all have a patch for that. in exchange i've got a patch on wp-comments.php for the suffix trick, not that it's hard or anything ☟︎
asciilifeform: i have nfi what it would look like if 'worked', the most that can be asked for is sokal-style lul.
asciilifeform: and script included ' i was paid ... settlement '
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i dun specifically recall. various.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i cannot even give a reason to think he was paid at all, now that i think.
mircea_popescu: "shut up or else i route the money to taliban" ?
mircea_popescu: heck, saudi fortunes seem i ntreouble. the us moved to vacuuming up far east private fortunes recently.
asciilifeform: well simply that i dun have a copy of their dekulakization process. so working under assumption that they did not get duked.
mod6: <+mod6> as soon as there is a non-us wot-enabled btc provider... i might think about a bare metal thing for this. << i may not wait for this... i dunno, will have to see.
mod6: as soon as there is a non-us wot-enabled btc provider... i might think about a bare metal thing for this.
mod6: i keep forgetting that. my bad.
mircea_popescu: the various things the woman wanted financed got defunded "for perpetuating the Duke family history of personal passions and conspicuous consumption". and well... this being in 2004 i imagine the money is by now well spent by the usg.
mod6: how did this work before i wonder lol?
