mircea_popescu: that's unfortunate. but you're not like the bitbet mod, in that... well, in that you aren't.
davout: well, because i'm like the bitbet mod, i didn't really realize it wasn't clear enough
mircea_popescu: in any event, bitbet comes last in the sort. you don't change your actions by what bitbet says it's gonna do. you do what you do, then when the time comes bitbet looks at it and calls it something.
davout: i wouldn't really propose such a bet
mircea_popescu: i ain't your mother.
mircea_popescu: "refusing to make me tortoise soup, when asked well in advance, doesn't constitute good mothership"
davout: refusing to clarify this, when asked well in advance doesn't really constitute best effort imo
davout: aren't mods supposed to enforce bet clarity?
mircea_popescu: there's no way to pull clarification. mods might push it, but you can't rely on that
punkman: too bad they didn't start their own university
mircea_popescu: they don't have a bitcoin price to pump up
mircea_popescu: also, woman with newborn. she can't do anything whatsoever.
asciilifeform: somehow this doesn't make sense
mthreat: bitstein: i'm living in argentina now, so i haven't been around there for a while
mircea_popescu: for atcbot i mean. it was yours wasn't it ?
gribble: #20672 Mon Jun 2 11:57:18 2014 nubbins` SELL 1.0 OFFICIAL #bitcoin-assets t-shirt @ 0.042584 BTC (Worldwide shipping included. Optional '#bitcoin-assets / freenode' text on back. http://imgur.com/jmcSFTx)
thestringpuller: doesn't require* (not isn't)
thestringpuller: yea but if the company isn't required to hold assets to operate then...
BingoBoingo: I haven't looked.
BingoBoingo: The simplest test for having a minimal level of participation in this channel is now, when realizing you can't speak can you ask someone online to offer you voice. It's such a low barrier to entry that... If the Horowitz guy could not solve that problem...
thestringpuller: didn't know though there'd be a trilema post
bitcoinpete: it's the smouldering rage of thousands of broke doods who can't download and backup multibit
assbot: Very nice sunset on Tokyo today http://t.co/3ygEIVkJwM
artifexd: Yeah. They don't happen often enough to consolidate, yet.
mircea_popescu: and you don't get scared by imagination.
asciilifeform: to the folks who didn't get dinged, he stood for... order. the empire having its shit together in some form. etc
asciilifeform: (didn't work)
chetty: absolutely, the meatgrinder is a bureaucracy like any other, and they don't die easy
chetty: no, but I ain't volunteering to march off to zoolag either
mircea_popescu: i bet you you can't.
asciilifeform: isn't that what is traditionally meant in this context for 'disappear' ?
thestringpuller: "Maybe motherhood isn't for you...have you considered adoption?"
thestringpuller: for some reason I don't think you're kidding :D
asciilifeform: if he can't do his thing because he's worn a zombie collar from birth and knows his place in the uranium mines, we're at 10.
mircea_popescu: it doesn't include the margins of any subset
asciilifeform: i'd say, if mr. newton can't do his thing because the city burns every tuesday, we're at '5000k'
asciilifeform: e.g. we don't know the ideal temperature for a living planet, but we can be pretty sure it isn't 10K
mircea_popescu: degenerate cases aren't part of it.
mircea_popescu: i suppose that's a much better statement than "merit isn't a thing"
mircea_popescu: isn't this the probabilistic thing that finds the shortest path going through one city or we ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the space isn't discrete tho.
mircea_popescu: merit isn't a thing.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: problem still remains, that merit isn't a thing << now i'm curious
mircea_popescu: <FabianB> <+mircea_popescu> FabianB this shit is so damned cool but why doesn't it work!!11 <-- i guess i should ask kakobrekla to include empyex in the list of voiced bots << o ya kako please add empy
nubbins`: you can't really tell, but he's wearing dockers and a leather belt
nubbins`: now you're just being silly, you don't need a wot rating to stay
KRS1: Thanks but I can't nubbins, my wot rating isn't good enough to stay. Chetty: <assbot> You need a better WOT rating. (level 2 with assbot >0)
nubbins`: it's not like people won't !up you all day :D
KRS1: thank anyway danielpbarron, apparently I'm not "elite" enough for this channel..and i don't want to waste any more of kakobrekla's precious fucking time.
nubbins`: although i'll probably spray her with some water if she doesn't move on soon
FabianB: <+mircea_popescu> FabianB this shit is so damned cool but why doesn't it work!!11 <-- i guess i should ask kakobrekla to include empyex in the list of voiced bots
mircea_popescu: the problem still remains, that merit isn't a thing.,
asciilifeform: 'Stop sending people to kill me. We've already captured five of them, one of them with a bomb and another with a rifle. If you don't stop sending killers, I'll send one to Moscow, and I won't have to send a second.'
moiety: wouldn't*
moiety: don't mean to make all you al cringe but....
moiety: nsa thanks you asciilifeform but they get bored of cats....i don't however, just so you know
mircea_popescu: FabianB this shit is so damned cool but why doesn't it work!!11
benkay: because americans don't think, they react to fear moiety.
benkay: <mircea_popescu> plenty of "owners" got bit / mauled. sorta like pitbull ** 2 // don't you start with this pernicious shit
Apocalyptic: moiety, the message won't contain the quotes
moiety: omg gribble don't discriminate against different smiles!
moiety: glad to see he wasn't blown away by the bad weather
moiety: asciilifeform: certainly doesn't behave so feral, grumbling away for more petting
moiety: asciilifeform: amazing markings! especially the ears. isn't it fascinating how all cats no matter feral-ness or genus do the rubbing against your legs for attention?
asciilifeform: moiety: why can't you have one << sadly i lack the skills, time, resources to care for a second pet
moiety: why can't you have one?
asciilifeform: it doesn't bother me (grew up in a place with, possibly, more feral cats than people)
moiety: probably cus you don't bother him. would make sense for more feral cats to do the not covering of their mess also.
asciilifeform: moiety: cat in question, incidentally, isn't tame. won't come near people - but does hang out on my porch often.
moiety: asciilifeform: re cats digging, there is a UK comedian (Eddie Izzard) who says cats are drilling (purring) and digging when they are behind the sofa lol in actuality, i think people can confuse digging for taking care of their claws. re covering their mess, incidentally they don't do this when they want to show who is boss in a household.
asciilifeform noticed first 'in anger' test of stabilizer - mains went out for ~1s, ups (upstream of stab) didn't even notice. plenty of joules in the xformer's magnetic field...
asciilifeform can't help but wonder re: the purpose of the road cone.
mircea_popescu: this is just the offset. apparently you can't get special tints in digital
mircea_popescu: isn't this most upstanding member that dork that came here a coupla years ago to try and troll anonymously
moiety: vanitygen + cmd is ok isn't it?
mircea_popescu: btw, you didn't generate that unsafely over some sort of shady provider did you ?
moiety: though i didn't mean the E and Y to be giant
moiety: 1MoiEtY7kGWwxr7isWhS492gXJZqGUbWFy << :D its even a speshul one ... kk so that one isn't the best deal imo, lemme dig a little more
moiety: fluffypony: I love it, it's amazing! but i got stuck in the empty old flat for a few days and haven't had internet here. I've moved half hour drive away in the smallest car you can buy i think and me and mum aren't exactly weight lifters lol how are you? :D
moiety: BRI haven't heard of Malcom btw mircea_popescu, i was going to dig a little, if you wanted ☟︎
fluffypony: it's been a year since Kingston released a 1tb HyperX Predator flash drive, I can't believe no other manufacturer has one yet
mircea_popescu: the other one is that they don't maintain the records.
mircea_popescu: well, it's definitely the blockchain-friendliest approach, seeing as only a hash is stored in the first place. moreover, i don't see how nonspendable tx helps anything other than pruning
punkman: also miners don't have to keep it in the unspent transactions list
Mats_cd03: asciilifeform: ;;later tell BingoBoingo: while I weld the server shut to drop off at the colo << if you don't already own one, a very usable spot-welder can be made from the ubiquitous 1F+ capacitors sold for use with automotive 'boom-booms.' << 'dis spark plugs?
mircea_popescu: it's so bad your INTERN for a vc won't consider deals under 1mn
mircea_popescu: in fact, it costs so little he doesn't even need horowitz. nor does he have any reason to talk to them. which he doesn't.
assbot: Instagram for business: How to make the most out of timing, hashtags and more: http://t.co/uPjD35zCYK via /TheNextWeb /hashtag/socialmedia?src=hash
asciilifeform: can't help but suspect that he'dve turned up here if he still walked.
asciilifeform never once spoke to naggum, can't freud him
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform didn't he die of neglected ulcer ?
gribble: “You cannot fix a machine by just power-cycling it with no ... - Trilema: <http://trilema.com/2014/you-cannot-fix-a-machine-by-just-power-cycling-it-with-no-understanding-of-what-is-going-wrong/>; Why won't my perpetual motion machine work?: <https://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/museum/themes/whynot.htm>; Reviews of Cycling Science | cycling science: <http://cyclingandscience.com (1 more message)
mircea_popescu: betcha there'd be just the same folks as today for whom itwon't build.
asciilifeform: (betcha there'd still be annoying buggers who 'bah, it won't build!')
asciilifeform: unlike gurlz, widgets don't wiggle away if you're inept. persistence can substitute for talent in the case of trivial problem, hence the existence of 'instructables', 'make', et al.
asciilifeform: it, incidentally, isn't a u3 stick. but a much earlier (circa '03?) chipset for which i found docs
asciilifeform: but to the microcontroller, which gives os (winblows naturally) an ignorable 'pretty please don't write.'
asciilifeform: for those who don't - many (traditional spindle) drives still have wp jumpers. bring it out to a toggle.
asciilifeform didn't believe the legend of them actually doing this, until seeing the tabs. they look like pull tabs from soda cans.
asciilifeform: (how i know? they don't always remember to... take them off.)
