mircea_popescu: fluffypony i didn't have the time to log into rift even past two weeks
fluffypony: how come mircea_popescu doesn't have one?
mircea_popescu: that doesn't make them less of a waste of, presumably, valuable brain gasoline.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't see any evidence whatsoever is th problem
mircea_popescu: myeah. giving the site ot mr evil doesn't hurt anything on a plaintext site.
assbot: Dear [redacted], [redacted] is, unfortunately, almost the polar opposite of t - Pastebin.com
asciilifeform: http://pastebin.com/KRbNE256 << my reply to a reader, some time ago, who asked 'why won't you use kickstarter'
mircea_popescu: mike_c: ugh. shame on your family. << bitcoin-otc isn't really intended for https anyway is it. or am i missing your point ?
mircea_popescu: i don't mean nonsense gathering a pile of cash
benkay: i'm surprised MP didn't get more 'smooth talker' noms
asciilifeform: e.g. lawyers, accountants, builders - people who wouldn't have had any dealings with programming otherwise, and - by many accounts - haven't since.
mike_c: you can't. nor can you specify the tax code in plain language.
mike_c: for sure, you can't speak about things intelligently with plain language. i can't tell you what's wrong with your computer in plain language.
mircea_popescu: there's nothing plain about language just like a measurement isn't the thing measured.
mircea_popescu: basically the problem of intelligent people is that the knowledge needed is so vast... i could readily render the pretense and nonsense of it, but i don't have the time/patience to hang out in every nook and cranny.
asciilifeform: but (can't recall) either tax authorities are not limited in this way, or they ruled that the machine was not really 'tool of trade'
mircea_popescu: well, for one if you fly high enough you don't actually have to report
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic: having a WoT account doesn't mean everything you write is signed << why not ? inasmuch as only you could have written it...
benkay: just 'cause their boys want to hack with me doesn't mean i get to tell their old firm what to do.
mircea_popescu: cazalla: BingoBoingo: didn't you know that the biggest Australian export after resources are bitcoin scams? (inputs.io, hair dresser ipos, kenilworth and on it goes) << i've often thought of this. add patrick harnett and a whole other bunch of new zealand folk
mircea_popescu: the gay just won't wash away :D
benkay: i also had nothing to bring to the table for those years. arguably still don't.
benkay: not that i found any worth my time to begin with, so i don't even have a sample of potential masters to compare to each other.
assbot: Why didn't Julian Assange use PGP properly when handing over the US State Department cables.csv file to David Leigh ?? - WikiLeak
benkay: i can't wait until my taxable dollar amount is negligible
mircea_popescu: decimation: "you want to get paid? well, you better write your TPS reports in MS so we can give you tax dollars" << "yeah but how about you don't have tax dollars to give in the first place"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: so gotta keep x86/winblows relevant somehow << can't imagine how that'd work. by now the stack is quite ample : x86 running windows to connect the owners of bitcents to reddit.
danielpbarron: but i don't see how the blockchain reveals any info that definitively associates the funds with you
fluffypony: danielpbarron: taint analysis - it's the reason that coinjoin and mixing isn't considered safe
fluffypony: "YOU DIDN'T PUT A SMILEY ON IT, YOU MUST BE SAYING SOMETHING MEAN"
fluffypony: I know you weren't, I'd have been surprised if you thought I was American :-P
asciilifeform: they... suborn your cook. who poisons you. blockchain - didn't help! cry?
fluffypony: the blockchain won't reveal you did
fluffypony: he can't demonstrate you did
benkay: so the dealer can't say i sent coins to that address with monero?
fluffypony: and I said it wasn't and explained why ☟︎
fluffypony: the Monero blockchain won't reveal your balance, when you spend, how much you spend, or on what
BingoBoingo: What, you don't use BitBet mixing?
fluffypony: gmaxwell has a test implementation of it, but judging by his comments in #monero-dev he doesn't like its fit with BTC much
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: doesn't even use the Bitcoin protocol
BingoBoingo: fluffypony: Isn't monero the same bullshit since it isn't Altcoin, the only worthwhile altcoin

mike_c: decimation:if you total the amount of money spent on microsoft over the years, USG could have built its own secure OS and secure hardware to run it on << on the other hand, they couldn't even build a fucking website with hundreds of millions of dollars.
pankkake: !t h am1
pankkake: I hate dealing with small monies, I usually leave the change - I don't mind paying "more"
kakobrekla: >I just uncovered a problem. I'm using the API to trade. I'm generating orders, and they are accepted by Bitfinex, but thats the extent of it. I have an orderid, time stamp, and the response says the trade is active. They don't get processed, and the history doesn't get updated. I've sent an email to support, but was just wondering if anyone else has seen anything strange like this. Seems to have start after 4:30 this afternoon. Th
Vexual: real IT people don't leave the house
pankkake: I wouldn't trust anyone in finance!

moiety: i didn't even know this site existed
asciilifeform: because 'sane machine for me but not for thee' doesn't work - can't guarantee future loyalty of the folks you issue the hardware to.
decimation: it is odd that one of the companies doesn't try to be open to get more market share
asciilifeform: ^ what isn't in there is considerably more interesting than what is
decimation: that's pretty much the mission statement of the nsa, gov't labs, et al
asciilifeform: i think at this point this isn't really controversial
decimation: but I don't think intel is going to survive on xeon chips alone
decimation: even those xscale chips that flopped weren't x86 as I recall
BingoBoingo: Ah, features like an MMU aren't enough anymore. Now your need the pretense of "fast"
decimation: you think that won't be the case with this intel chip?
assbot: Reddit asks. Reddit gets. /hashtag/sneakpeak?src=hash /hashtag/bitcoin?src=hash iOS /Apple coming soon http://t.co/pmdlO4KAyb

bitcoinpete: ;;later tell fluffypony doesn't this remind you of usagi? http://trollscience.com/troll/view/8117
mircea_popescu: not entirely sure why the foundation derps think anyone asked them anything on the score, but then again... it's kinda what they do, isn't it.
mike_c: in case you didn't realize, it's complicated! :D
mike_c: well, facebook doesn't just announce a 20bn purchase. they are public, they have to record what they pay.
mircea_popescu: anyway, reason the contracts aren't signed yet is because i wanna see what the general community thinks
mircea_popescu: and then i rant about how us people don't speak latin. what speak latin lol.
nubbins`: oh and the whole losing $100m last year i guess didn't help
mircea_popescu: i think if they did it the other way you couldn't pass
asciilifeform: benkay: i once worked with laboratory (-80C) units that didn't. a pump moved the cold air to reservoir when you turned the handle. room air pumped in, door opens. reverse when close hadle.
mircea_popescu: i can't stop imagining various hand-cranked things
mircea_popescu: o wait, i guess i didn't miss anything. "If you don't pay me now, tomorrow price will increase to 0.5 BTC."
