mircea_popescu: <mgio> legal options, of course << that didn'
t mwean anything.
mircea_popescu: same goes to you that i said to mgio : unless you're in assbot l2's trust you can'
t up yourself.
joesmoe: i can'
t seem to get assbot to like me, its being a real ass
mircea_popescu: "there's bitbet, we don;'
t talk about. the betting sites we talk about is <del>etc"
mircea_popescu: the pretense remains unchanged. "there's mpex, we don'
t talk about. the exchange we talk about is <Del>glbse<del>btct<del>bitcoin whatever<del>etc"
mircea_popescu: roughly in the situation of a small african country trying to push this alt-geography where china doesn'
t exist
mircea_popescu: dub: but blame africa << everyone knows africans aren'
t pirates, they couldn'
t even discover madagascar.
pankkake: didn'
t look at the last ones. usually I don'
t resist, but too much at a time
mircea_popescu: and you know what it's gonna be, and yet you can'
t look away
fluffypony: so now I don'
t get any email from them
benkay: isn'
t this the kind of desert where one can simply drive around road obstructions?
mircea_popescu: This i don'
t fucking understand. if you're trying to leave mosul and there's some fuckwits holding a "checkpoint" in your way
mircea_popescu: i don'
t imagine biological shock is going to be much going forward
mircea_popescu: i'll bet you the us won'
t be buying much oil from sa by the end of the decade.
fluffypony: "On the other hand it was expected that usagi will get confused and "loose" the wallet. In general he's so confused that he doesn'
t know if he's a she or she's a he."
mircea_popescu: i can'
t image a us policy of easy money not including easy reserves.
benkay: * asciilifeform doesn'
t own airplane, will probably have to settle for slipping in his bath with a cocked nailgun // are the 'suicides' humorously staged yet?
pankkake: no but I mean you have to care only if they are reasonably close, which isn'
t the case at all now
pankkake: unfortunately there isn'
t, as neither exchanges publish a 30d volume
mircea_popescu: this isn'
t some sort of diplomatic negotiation where you can make oral notes on your signing of the treaty
mircea_popescu: the absolute isn'
t a conditional absolute, ie, "the bet won'
t changed except for parts we can get away with"
davout: granted, but following your logic, if the title doesn'
t matter wrt the bet resolution there's no problem changing it :-)
mircea_popescu: imo bs shakespeare tony awards bets don'
t make any sense
mircea_popescu: it can'
t really hurt to make them consistent, before they're made. but the entire model (not just of bitbet, for that matter) rests on absolutes, and the proposal of improving this bet runs into the absolute that it's already published,
davout: and also that the bet doesn'
t make that much sense if to resolve to yes s.mg only has to report an incoming money transfer > 0
davout: well, i get how that can be clarified, all i'm saying is that it can'
t really hurt to make them consistent, especially when no one else has bet yet
davout: what part of "the title isn'
t consistent with the bet resolution condition" do you disagree with?
davout: just saying the resolution condition should be rewritten, which shouldn'
t be much of an issue since there are only house bets for now
davout: by sending it money, assuming there's some sort of service rolled-out by end 2014, if not it can'
t really have revenue or be profitable, but in this case the bet title might as well be reworded to "s.mg open for business" or something like that
mircea_popescu: davout indeed. the dirty little open secret here is that if you don'
t specify it openly, mp will specify it closedly and then beat you over the head every time you deviate
mircea_popescu: obviously it doesn'
t work that way, but "obviously" doesn'
t work for your average screentanned neckbeard because obviously depends on social experience
mircea_popescu: let's start with what autorouter does. it fills in routes you didn'
t make yourself ?
mircea_popescu: (yet another fundamentally wrong design decision that sits at the core of the us' failure, and can'
t be fixed)
mircea_popescu: this has fundamental causes in the original training of the people involved with the code, which is why you don'
t want to learn to computer on bullshit fashionable languages.
mircea_popescu: dub: ff crashed because ff << more specifically, because mozilla co STILL can'
t make a half decent garbage collector, so they constantly leak memory. yes, even version 69 or w/e they're up to by now.
mircea_popescu: i didn'
t eat the pork fried on the bible/coran/etc for the record.
mircea_popescu: benkay the totality of russian personnel residing on foreign soil would be the residentura. the subset doing interesting stuff out of them (such as, not the ambassador's personal homebred imported cocksucker - in most places you have to import women as they don'
t grow locally babes tall enough, blonde enough, fair skinned enough, lithe enough etc etc etc) would be the... agentura.
chetty: well he didn'
t go to HS there, but if he did that might explain a lot
chetty: pankkake, to be fair Obama hasn'
t been around long enough to ruin the HS kids
dub: namecheap can'
t take my coinz
BingoBoingo: That isn'
t expert shit, that is learning things rotate shit.
decimation: well, I don'
t think he's an expert chemist...
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Manul won'
t counter my Pirc defense with an Austrian attack so boring...
mircea_popescu: you currently are not, which is why assbot isn'
t upping you.
mircea_popescu: to auto-voice you need to a) identify with gribble. you don'
t need gpg for this, tho gpg works. you can also identify with your btc address ; b) be in assbot's l2 trust.
justusranvier: I am rather fond of them but I wouldn'
t go so far as to say "better than us".
decimation: re: managerial traitors : the problem is that somehow standard criminal and civil liability law doesn'
t apply for some reason
BingoBoingo: I still can'
t fucking believe RDF beat Dublin core.
decimation: wouldn'
t be surprising. USG has all kinds of ancient irreplacable computer systems
decimation: about a third of my us ee undergrad class was chinese (like off the boat, not second generation). Most of them couldn'
t design anything, but they generally aced the math tests
decimation: heh. wouldn'
t suprise me. For some weird reason the only working ee design software runs on windows
BingoBoingo: I'd confess I'm tempted to run A/UX on this machine in a hypervisor, but... I don'
t want this channel to assume stockholm syndrome...
BingoBoingo: Even if it isn'
t exploited it sucks around the edges.
BingoBoingo: It isn'
t just that it crashed, it is that it can'
t copy /var into a .tar.gz in a timely manner.
BingoBoingo: NIGbuntu is trying to tell me I don'
t have any system logger
diametric: asciilifeform: you're still online, so i take it you didn'
t drown today
mike_c: i think it wasn'
t that lopsided in operation saddam
mircea_popescu: mike_c you can'
t always identify directionality like that
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> a tale was once told to me by one fellow 'in the know': russia sold gps jammers (serious ones, not the chinese pocket gizmos off ebay) to iraq, shortly prior to '03 american invasion. but iraq didn'
t pay the full invoice. so, the vendor neglected to remind the buyer that they must be arranged in a ring pattern and operated in unison << i heard the same story passed off as successful intel mission, stole
mircea_popescu: i don'
t think anyone's aware of what the laws are, in texas :D
BingoBoingo: Ah, Texas has some weird laws... I don'
t think it is legal for a Texan to make eye contact with a Steer and not offer it a handjob.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: don'
t they make anyone use actual ir spectrometer in school now? << no. because it'd be racist.
