mircea_popescu: "Warrior Forum joins the Freelancer.com Family" dude this couldn't have been more appropriate.
pankkake: I don't follow this a lot but there are some chinese who sell in stock stuff
fluffypony: "The lesson for anyone in the public domain should already be clear: Don't try to answer rumours on Reddit, unless you are also prepared to provide cast iron proof of what you say, don't discuss your family affairs on a public forum, and especially don't mention your children - this is stupid beyond belief."
bounce: (deliberate) incompatability by stuffing functionality with strong preference-flavour added where there previously was room for alternative approaches in places that don't need the added complexity and opacity, with added fall-out to well outside the "linux" world and insisting breaking others' software are improvements now? explain that one, please.
pankkake: I don't have issues with those things, they are overall improvements
pankkake: nice. I was looking for openssl alternatives, and while there are some (with nicer APIs and lighter codebases), the licenses won't satisfy everyone
mircea_popescu: pls tell me they weren't advertised as Marital AIDS
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell benkay "that things I generally assume don't need eliding " << you sure you know what eliding means ?

asciilifeform: they don't bother rigging the lights here.
mircea_popescu: i'm like don't be fucktarded already, nobody EVER bought there, what's wroing with you
TestingUnoDosTre: this chinese ghost town myth isn't just american commie propaganda?
mircea_popescu: perhaps one could go lower than that, but for the time being i can't imagine how.
mircea_popescu: wait this can't be right
mircea_popescu: srsly. market cap 41k, can't get 30 btc on an open auction.
mike_c: ah. i don't know the backstory
mircea_popescu: After working on the project for the past year, sacrificing my other businesses, investing a lot of time and money and running into personal debts to get it to where it is today, I don't have the time or personal stability to move the business forward to its full potential. Since november I have been working with no marketing budget and no development budget and for the future of SP it is better if somebody with a new
BingoBoingo: Chicken wings, then wyngz, wyngs don't sell... revert to chicken
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if it's safe enough for the road it can't not be safe enough for teh planes :D

mike_c: !t h rent
BingoBoingo: !t h cog
nubbins`: ah, i didn't get one these past two joins
fluffypony: jurov: didn't even know they have a VPS offering
fluffypony: any recommendations for a reasonable VPS provider that won't throw a tantrum if I run a bitcoin node? DigitalOcean want me to provide DNA samples and ownership of my unborn child to allow me to create a new VPS (despite having two hosted with them for the past 18 months)
artifexd: It isn't even in the channel
assbot: I don't do bots, mike_c.
asciilifeform: it wasn't part of the curriculum, as far as i recall
mike_c: i don't think i knew what pi was in 3rd grade. maybe my memory is faulty.
asciilifeform: and doesn't everyone remember calculating pi this way, by throwing stones in a chalk circle in square, in grade school ?
asciilifeform: re: 'code thief' - when people say, 'X can also have problems,' that doesn't necessarily mean 'car bomb.' it can also look like this.
pankkake: mircea_popescu: about the image board thing, I don't know if there is an actual demand. I'll see how expensive (in terms of maintenance) it is in the coming days
mircea_popescu: i don't think they were ever anything else.
mircea_popescu: who doesn't think farmers understand, because for shephers... c'e diverso. e con le stelle, uno puo parlare.
bounce: doesn't stop shit from getting real, though
benkay: don't bring that mystical claptrap around here
benkay: doesn't sound so steady to me
mircea_popescu: ouch. wasn't china already spending a lot ?
mircea_popescu: but if you can't afford what you need, isn't that an indication that you shouldn't be doing what you're doing ?
mircea_popescu: it doesn't have to be "real", because wtf is that real mean, but it does have to be identity.
danielpbarron: IRS says BTC isn't a currency so that's that
mircea_popescu: Namworld:Depends on the sort of capital they have. Gox's name isn't what's doomed. << you gotta be kiddin' me.
thestringpuller: benkay: bitcoin isn't a currency anymore?
arizona: I don't say much here. I enjoy reading and learning. I like your columns, Mr. Popescu. You are a very good writer.
benkay: Namworld:Assuming Karpeles doesn't get to keep his 100k that he "also lost" << oh, he will. "what bitcoins?"
kakobrekla: <mike_c> yes, this is different because you can't sell a position. < its taking awfully long for someone to code that.
los_pantalones: wouldn't that also increase liquidity on the other side of the bet
mike_c: yes, this is different because you can't sell a position.
los_pantalones: i haven't bet anything on bitbet yet so if i sound like a total idiot, i'm sorry
bounce: apropos, that nurture-not-nature for elitism argument isn't very well developed. nice examples, but I don't see'em supporting the premise.
mircea_popescu: i don't think i saw wayne's world
mircea_popescu: bounce no, but we can still talk. either are excesses : omg can't talk to no-one except other rear admirals / omg everyone i talk to is exactly like me. middle fucking bitcoineus i say!
mircea_popescu: bounce that didn't parse
bounce did a quick search on log., didn't turn up much.
bounce: did urbit make it to the bbc, boing boing, something I can't decipher, wired, el grauniad, AND tech radar?
mircea_popescu: and the texas governor wasn't going omgwtfbbq at the feds.
mircea_popescu: it's what i'd do too. if the guy takes the cattle away, problem solved. if he doesn't, then by definition they'll still be there,
mircea_popescu: yeah, didn't the blm leave ?
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla you see that ? "thanks for the 60 minutes of fun" the man says. why can't you be more like that!
mircea_popescu: then if i don't understand wtf you're saying ima ask somebody to read it to me.
los_pantalones: a man in tight pants, who likely shouldn't be
gribble: Error: User doesn't exist in the Rating or GPG databases. User must be GPG-registered to receive ratings.
dexX7: i don't like the .lk design
Namworld: Well let's just say it wouldn't pass.
fluffypony: a lot of heavy traders aren't going to want to reinvest fresh capital and then still have to pay for compatability with whatever platform they use
fluffypony: also afaik, wasn't gox tightly integrated into some trading platforms?
Namworld: If they don't have to pay back balances lost, just what's left, and get to have all the userbase with docs...
Namworld: Depends on the sort of capital they have. Gox's name isn't what's doomed. It's the code created by Karpeles and Karpeles himself.
bounce: then call it a day. then what? a rotten website and trading "engine", an unwilling user base (I mean... well, they didn't walk away before, did they?), and, trouble with nosy 'merkin regulators. what'd be in it for them?
fluffypony: I don't think they'd be stupid enough to cover the rest, unless they never want to ever achieve any level of profitability
Namworld: Assuming Karpeles doesn't get to keep his 100k that he "also lost"
Namworld: Doesn't look like an appropriate candidate anyway. There's no amount of duct tape that can fix MtGox.
benkay: don't start glbse 4.0 without me, eh?
cgcardona_: so of course I didn't come on board w/ root
artifexd: Do you remember the first time somebody gave you real responsibility? "Don't let me down, kid." type stuff.
artifexd: When I was in the Navy, lower ranked officers were nothing special, but even lower enlisted (like myself) didn't have conversations with the Captains and Admirals. There was the understanding that they were "people" just like us (meaning the enlisted folk), but their concerns and our concerns didn't overlap enough to allow for everyday conversation. There
benkay: JorgePasada: i can't rate you unless you get in the WoT.
asciilifeform: won't predict, but will show where fault line, etc.
artifexd: Without inside knowledge, how could you verify it? The only information that actually links to the miner is the coinbase script and I haven't seen any scripts with "Mined by US GSA" in them.
benkay: artifexd: ain't nobody sharing information like that for free.
cgcardona_: i haven't checked the charts. how long before was it?
TestingUnoDosTre: It wasn't RIGHT before
gribble: Error: Something in there wasn't a valid number.
mircea_popescu: cgcardona_ their job was easier, as they prolly hadn't invented the adversarial system either, so they could actually reach some sort of a decision.
cgcardona_: data porn is the best. imagine all the poor saps throughout history who had to make critical decisions in the moment and didn't have mounds of data porn to pour over.
mircea_popescu: joecool kenna tried to relaunch, the girl told him where to stick it, he wasn't heard from since ?
mircea_popescu: this shit. doesn't he look just like the maitre d' ?
mircea_popescu: TestingUnoDosTre true story : i was in the bank the other day, and they had these timberlake concert fliers. i picked one up and told my pa "doesn't this guy look just like a waiter ?". he did, dressed all up for the job, too.
cgcardona_: *don't get me wrong
cgcardona_: yes I'm glad I found this room MP. the bitcoin forum is the bottom of the barrel and reddit is mostly memes and flamewars as well. (though don't ge me wrong. I enjoy a good meme and/or flamewar)
TestingUnoDosTre: ^isn't that a joke
cgcardona_: as in 'this room isn't a room where anyone can talk about shoes. it's a room where shoe makers can talk about anything.' ?
