funkenstein_: ok i don't know norway.. but i think that needs a bit of sussing out
asciilifeform: colour me thick, but i still don't feel like i have a grasp of the implications.
asciilifeform: i can picture the minutes. 'hitler: you know, miners are using own versions of bitcoin and don't particular feel like backporting their necessary mods to yours. hearn: so let's do the work for them. gavin: fine idea' ☟︎
asciilifeform: i don't get it. anyone was already able to specify arbitrarily high fee
cazalla: SuchWow, you mean i don't know chinese exchanges pump it up with fake volume to fool westerners?
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller i wonder briefly why these tards don't do something useful with their time, instead of making pointless "infographs" that make no sense, represent no data and interest no one.
ben_vulpes: i don't even have any items in eulora yet
mod6: So yeah, in the version (v0.2.1) from MPs email, that code to find the external ip is included. Also if I do a checkout of tag v0.1.5 from git, same thing. Still don't know who added it for sure though.
mircea_popescu: i dunno. i don't understand internets - which is common, admitting it is rare
asciilifeform: i don't see any 'win' from it
mircea_popescu: i still don't see the problem you two see
mircea_popescu: i don't think so.
mircea_popescu: i don't think there exists a culture in which boys past the age of sexual maturity show any preference whatever to sleep with the women, just like girls of all ages much prefer to.
trinque: asciilifeform: ah I don't buy that; the hairbrained thing it was doing is in that bug thread, I think
mircea_popescu: i don't seem to be much bothered by either, but sure.
decimation: yeah I don't get how this 'black church postal' guy accomplished anything
mircea_popescu: no. i don't think your idea of "aims" actually applies to them.
mircea_popescu: best pray ~i~ don't identify you as lobster/
mats: anyway not really a productive discussion, i don't enjoy thai food but i recognize it takes skill
mircea_popescu: in truth i don't care much about most chinese cuisine either, but not because it'd be bland. because they can't cook. some stuff is actually excellent, but plenty of stuff is "hey, let's throw everything in the kitchen in the same pot. vinegar, oil, sugar, what the hell."
mircea_popescu: anyway, i agree they're stupid. originally it was "they must go out because they break backups". turned out they don't. now it's "they should go out because they're stupid", which is valid, but also an aesthetic judgement. we're not at aesthetics yet. but eventually, whole wallet scheme needs to be made by someone who's not retarded in the fucking head.
assbot: Logged on 19-06-2015 19:21:25; hazirafel_: don't know if this is a good place to ask, but here ... i'm code literate in java , and i really want to learn to know my way around fiddling with blockchains and bitcoin, i would love advice on places to start and where to get help and information. i guess i need to learn C first but i'm looking for more advice. thanks!
mircea_popescu: well yeah, but i don't know you, and so i have nfi what reference points to use, and so...

copypaste: immoral? perhaps (even i don't think it's immoral)
cazalla: i don't know specifically (perhap it isn't even illegal)
mats: i don't understand how your link relates to why OpenNTPD is better than ISC NTPD
decimation: mats: I'm aware, don't need precision either
ascii_field: i don't doubt that when the time comes, they will find a watertight reason to demolish my house, with me in it, in the middle of the night
danielpbarron: i don't think it would invalidate things if two blocks had the same timestamp
mircea_popescu: even leaving aside the "we've arbitrarily divided this virus up into 3 no wait 7 no wait 16 no wait nm groups", the notion that "i don't have herpes" is to be translated as "i read very little and understand even less".
asciilifeform: sorta like, i have nothing against auto tyres, and in fact own five, but i don't want one for dinner
cazalla: felipelalli, if you're keen feel free to write it up yourself, i don't imagine BingoBoingo or mp would take issue with that
asciilifeform: no and i don't intend to..
decimation: I don't think so
mats: i don't know much about how procurement and acquisitions works
assbot: Logged on 17-06-2015 14:49:18; jurov: i don need no fucking employment
ascii_field: (i don't want ~anything~ to do with a leaking node)
jurov: i don't remember using taxi from/to airport
ascii_field: and i don't want to see ads for shitpaper in my mailbox
mircea_popescu: i don't even order takeout
assbot: Logged on 17-06-2015 14:47:41; jurov: also, i don't get how anyone in this age can *not* have some foreign acquaintances that one can be sure to not throw him under the bus
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-06-2015#1166048 << well i don't know so many people in china, so... good news :D ☝︎
ascii_field: but i don't imagine that i'll learn to breathe water and become kind of the ocean in a few weeks. and if mircea_popescu can do this, we should all learn from him.
ascii_field: i don't think they've invented begging yet
ascii_field: i don't think they have bitcoin on his planet yet, though
thestringpuller: i don't see anything in the logs.
mircea_popescu: let jurov never say i don't have anything in this vein.
jurov: i don need no fucking employment ☟︎
jurov: also, i don't get how anyone in this age can *not* have some foreign acquaintances that one can be sure to not throw him under the bus ☟︎
asciilifeform: (and before you say 'i am willing to live like mexican', note that for ~you personally~ it will cost 50x what it does for the native-born orc. because he has the extended family, willing to live seven-to-a-room with him without murder, and you don't.)
asciilifeform: i sure don't
asciilifeform: midnightmagic: i don't do 'patience', i do actual understanding of physical reality vs snake oil.
copypaste: i suppose they don't care so much about the uh
cazalla: i don't see the big deal tbh, australian school girls have always been huge moles
mats: i don't care about reproduction, but there is the issue of those others
cazalla: fwiw i don't even think she's that attractive (bisfh obviously)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you have to appreciate i don't do bezzle. that "couple mil" per year was about 20k actual deductibles and the rest fluff.
Vexual: i dunno about maths geniuses, but i know bb knows i don't know to box, and wouldnt expose himself to the spectacle
ag3nt_zer0: trinque: yeah I am thinking since I was told yesterday that doing it right means local and plaintext then it doesnt really matter that it is linked to something that can operate with thunderbird and enigmail... I can simply keep it linked to my tutanota account... this makes sense to me but I don't know shit about this stuff...
funkenstein_: no sorry, likely i am just ignorant and gawker has some importance I don't know about
felipelalli: BingoBoingo: why gribble don't catch the ! commands in this channel as well? I use !gettrust to gribble in other channels.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-06-2015#1164790 << i really don't get it, isn't the point of these things to set an adolescent hookup ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: <TheNewDeal> I'm suprised usian muggles don't even comprehend this idea << they don't care one way or another, because they aren't actually invested in the thing. it's a meal ticket. who is going to care whether their meal ticket had a good day at work or a bad day at work ? it's work, it's what it does, fuck it.
jurov: it's meant the bourbon era? i don't get it
TheNewDeal: I'm suprised usian muggles don't even comprehend this idea
asciilifeform: i don't presently believe that nsa hired cryptographers for any purpose other than to take them out of circulation.
decimation: schneier lulz: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2015/06/encrypting_wind.html < "Encrypting your Windows hard drives is trivially easy; choosing which program to use is annoyingly difficult. I still use Windows -- yes, I know, don't even start -- and have intimate experience with this issue."
mircea_popescu: i run into this question a lot. "just stop" "how ?" "by not doing it" "but i don't know how!!1"
trinque: I don't remember choosing a state
asciilifeform: decimation: for this, i don't need the train. live there.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-06-2015#1164495 << no one actually asks 'what is the alternative to state.' what they are really asking is 'what, in your cosmography, is to be the means whereby i get fed, roofed, and far away from bloodthirsty cannibals like before ?' and if the answer is 'you don't, fuck you, biodiesel' don't expect a 'thank you' from the interlocutor ☝︎
punkman: don't think I've tried that one
cazalla: i don't mind a bit of holy flax too
decimation: if your point is that your salvation is involuntary, I don't think that is correct, but Christians do disagree on this point
trinque: I don't disagree
decimation: trinque: no doubt, I can imagine lots of other structures, but I just don't see how groups of people who need to do business together can get away from some kind of central coordinating mechanism for certain tasks
funkenstein_: i don't mac, but methinks you can add a couple special chars without losing entropy
mod6: my old man had one of the 1983 mercedes 380SLs.. but yeah i don't think it weighed nearly as much as those bigger frame ones like yours (MP) or Pete D's.
mod6: i don't drive very much, and if i do, it's not very far.
mod6: my old man would be horrified that i don't fix the shit on my car. he was a "car guy". used to wrench on stuff, build his own racecars, was an expert mechanic.
mircea_popescu: anyway, ftr : i don't expect the electric grid will cease to exist.
asciilifeform: the 'unlikely in the future' thing is why i view the present situation as a dire one. at present, 'we' don't have access to any of these things.
mircea_popescu: so no, i don't see any sort of future for that model, which is EXACTLY why i pointed out to tim whatshisname that either he gets with the program or he goes live in the sewer.
asciilifeform: sorta reminds me of how i, as a boy, saw a brass band, and asked my father why they don't simply connect a compressor to the tuba and avoid the strain. and answered 'from this, just one step to dispensing with the tubist entirely'. and hence just the same here, from this just one small step to asking 'why even do this university thing'
mircea_popescu: menahem what you don't likely know is that i lived a decade and change of my life previously also with people tastiung my food etc.
mircea_popescu: i don't think the bag makers can be blamed for this one
asciilifeform: decimation: i don't want a usb controller...
cazalla: i'd like to think it will end soon as i don't see how people can be squeezed any further at this point but asciilifeform reminded me that there is still much fat left to be trimmed
cazalla: i don't even know why they do it tbh
asciilifeform: what i also don't get is, didn't any of these folks, in three generations of service to brit and then sov. empire, learn vernam ?
Bob32442: hmm, I don't get the cap, why is it that it can't be removed?
mircea_popescu: stirctly, strictly that. i don't aim to run a university, i aim to run a decimation service.
mircea_popescu: i don't give a shit about that
ascii_field: and i don't need the adc for anything
mircea_popescu: mod6 the problem is that most people don't have a lot of o-bsd experience. and i don't just mean most people here, but generally. hard to sell that thing as an "all purpose b-a basis of bases"
mod6: eh. i'm not sure yet. i'm getting to the point with this thing where i realize at least 1 thing: I don't have the technical experience in the context of gentoo to get us where we want to go in a timly fashion. My experience in gentoo has been for 6 weeks, never used it before that. Everything has been a struggle here, for me. Not that I can't do it all myself, but I feel like it's taking me waaay too long. Maybe I just had bad expectations as
decimation: I don't think that exists
decimation: it forced me to learn why I don't want the latest of everything
mircea_popescu: i don't see it.
