thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: "In addition, for those interested in keeping their tokens from the losing blockchain as a keepsake, we will support a one-
time withdrawal of the deprecated tokens, provided that the losing chain is still functional when you attempt a withdrawal. Specific instructions on how to access your tokens on the
old chain to follow."
mircea_popescu: yes, but not at the same
time dress like a professor. or, for that matter, by a fifty year
old white male.
mircea_popescu: ~ darker than the gypsies (slaves, at the
time), you spent years begging around here, you, well received yet failed to profer as much as thanks. we fed you bread and salt (i dunno, it's a romanian thing) and wine from our ample cave, but when the morn came you took a shit in the flowerbed, laughing. then through thousand year
old forests walked to no apparent benefit (literally, for love of the ho), and so there you see : no
Framedragger: i would like to scan the whole /0 0:65535 range some
time though, i'm sure there'd be quite a few ssh servers lurking behind strange ports, and quite a lot of them could be
old embedded gadgets. just speculation tho
mircea_popescu:
old time bitcoin scammer ; kicked out around the
time of the great mp scammer purge of 2013
mircea_popescu: and yes, "lower bound", you know ? like this : "if the universe ends up being less
old than X, we'll have to re-do all these calculations, somehow. i have no idea how the fuck, so let's hope it doesn't happen - and also thar mars rises on
time. fucking precession.
mircea_popescu: in unrelated news, "This is your XQJ-37 plasma cannon. The only trouble is that since the
old model XQJ was cobbled together from junked Amiga motherboards, you can only have one shot on the screen at a
time."
mircea_popescu: not really. young boys have a terrible
time. nigh on impossible for
old women.
jurov: asciilifeform: i was some
time on freelancer.com picking nuggets that indians won't do (like adding mysql plugin in C, or fixing
old perl ERP) and I wasn't earning much for few months, and then one of the people approached me with much bigger and $better$ project.
mircea_popescu: in entirely unrelated but omfg i can't believe this - cascadia dwelling derpy mother of slavegirl that wants to think of self as "fiber artist" but otherwise crochets like any
old woman since
time immemorial, landed what to her appears as a very good deal. she sells her stuff in a senior citizen center gift shop. for a 15% comission. to understand each other : she provides the merchandise. she provides the sales workforce. sh
mod6: i'll catch up by the
time im like 394 years
old.
mircea_popescu: for curiosity, i actually checked the
old logs. this was reg'd apr 10th 2012 ; at the
time i was hanging out in #bitcoin-otc-eu ; he mentioned it there sometime on the 12th that caught my eye and the rest be history.
mircea_popescu: it was a 20 minute
old txn at the
time it was included in a block.
mircea_popescu: (unrelatedly - i've re-read the arabic
old texts. the previous
time i did this they ended up in the fire. somehow, the shit's grown EVEN MORE offensive over the years. scarcely can explain this wonder - the people involved have been dead for a thousand years.)
mircea_popescu: it'll be either a chick nobody could conceivably want for any purpose, so basically an
old prune before her
time,
mircea_popescu: i can't think of a
time this was the case, in either the
old country or the america.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: that's an apt analogy in that both car and hdd are superficially affordable, but not practically.
old car costs hundreds if not thousands in unexpected maintenance EVERY YEAR. hdd costs
time, space, troubleshooting, etcetc. a car you own outright (ie. no debt payments), like a desktop you own outright (ie. no winbloze avec nsa) are exceedingly high-end appointments. neither is 'accessible' in any way.
phf: actually one van dweller i knew was this nasty, 60 year
old hippie dude, sort of ram das like character. i think all he did was cruise from one west coast hot spring to another. he would always have an utterly zonkered, 20 year
old, supermodel looking girl in his van, every
time i'd run into him, a different one.
mod6: this thing doesn't play nice trying to run it more than one
time with
old artifacts laying around.
shinohai: Reading. I still like
old-fashioned books so I spend a lot of
time in Library.
phf: also zen doesn't support most of the modern x11 extensions, that you might want for running something like firefox. in fact last
time i checked it didn't support xrander, which is an
old image composition extension that might as well be standard
mircea_popescu: here's the thing : not your call to make. by the
time they need or can benefit from that sort of thing, they're
old enough to pick their own/
mircea_popescu: <punkman> mircea_popescu: was that the new phuctor box? << nah, the
old qntra cluster. makes it the 2nd
time in about a month wtf.
punkman: there were a couple local ebay-clones here that passed all their data to the taxman. "oh you sold 6
old phones this year? and what did you not have
time to incorporate and register for VAT?"
ben_vulpes has been waiting for this particular
old tomato for some
time mircea_popescu: anyway, in the general, this is the closed form life equation of people doing something worthwhile : they have a terrible
time as kids because their parents are idiots ; they get fucking stampeded as adults, because people are lazy ; they get all the accolades, moneys and bitches when they're
old, because it doesn't do anything for them anymore (thus it's finally safe) ; once they're dead they get to be the face sellin
phf: give me that
old time religion
pete_dushenski: "I would not be surprised to find out that you work as a plant security guard for just above minimum wage, on a night shift, where you use your
time reading to try to be able to impress others with your intelligence, or that you live in a basement apartment, or drive a 2o year
old junker."
mircea_popescu: "oh, our new fad diet is to only eat
old car seats!!1 IT WORKS!!1". yeah, in the 1.7% of the population whose sticking point at that
time happened to be a lack of X, which X is abundant in used car seats, it "helps", until the metabolism gets wedged into something else.
phf: i spent a long
time biking through north east dc and was friends with a dc cop at umd and i know that north east is hellhole ready to burst. i'd bike during day
time and would have
old black guys on the street corner go "whacha doin here white boy". but then i moved to philly and ghetto here is not north east nor baltimore by any measure. i can walk up to 69th street or kensington and as long as i'm smart about it, nobody will pay me any at
BingoBoingo: Eh, kunstler is
old enough father
time will probably get him before you do mircea_popescu
assbot: Logged on 30-05-2015 17:38:54; asciilifeform: think of it this way (possibly paraphrasing
old thread.) imagine you discovered a cache of plutonium bricks in your back yard. (rtg in space probe fell apart?) would you let them go to a scrap dealer for 100 usd each? knowing that they are worth millions, and at the same
time risking your arse by revealing that you ever had them to begin with? or would you say 'fuck you' and dig a deeper hole?
mircea_popescu: but there was a
time, people and jackals ate the same three day
old carcasses.
mircea_popescu: under the guard of some
old prune too dessicated to fuck them in the first place. Not waste MY fucking
time with it.
BingoBoingo: "Professionally our methods of transmitting and reviewing the results of research are generations
old and by now are totally inadequate for their purpose. If the aggregate
time spent in writing scholarly works and in reading them could be evaluated, the ratio between these amounts of
time might well be startling. Those who conscientiously attempt to keep abreast of current thought, even in restricted fields, by close and continuou
mircea_popescu: i mean
time warner paid a billion for myspace which was worth ~0, sure, turner's
old and stupid.
ag3nt_zer0: trinque: yeah it was... mellancamp brought it that night... it was his 14 year
old sons bday or something and he brought him out to play bass or something it was a good
time mircea_popescu: by the
time yoiu're that
old, more women held your cock to pee than to suck it anyway
mircea_popescu: the last
time things made sense to me i was 5 years
old.
mircea_popescu: another thing much in the vein of the
old time pub function above was the "calificare la locul de munca", the last breath of apprenticeship.
phf: james lafond incidentally wrote how
old time pubs were places were men could run wild boasts by the others and get called out or not, and that this form of conversation has been lost. seems to me in "consensus" places there's always some fuck ready to butt in into any point, just to make a counterpoint, that it's inconceivable for redditards that there's a dozen reading and thinking without running their mouths
mircea_popescu: lol. this entire "cheap suits" business has its comedic value. here's something you wouldn't know : while visiting here, ben_vulpes got to meet my tailor, on the grounds that we walked by his shop downtown and teh
old jewish gentleman ran out to assure his dearly beloved mr popesco that his suit will be done in
time.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu:
time to inform mr and mrs
old timey derpminers, the qntra ones
mircea_popescu: They use my
old writings to make claims about what Bitcoin was supposed to be. However I acknowledge that a lot has changed since that
time, and new knowledge has been gained that contradicts some of my early opinions. For example I didn't anticipate pooled mining and its effects on the security of the network. Making Bitcoin a competitive monetary system while also preserving its security properties is not a trivia
mircea_popescu: (ftr, very
old peoples do survive in france as well - same places they do in the east. like the normans, say, or the gascons. much hay was made by the plains populatrons about this also, at the
time they were still trying to understand themselves seriously - say 3 centuries ago)
mircea_popescu: in the sense that yes they could come out of ANYWHERe, and make a hole anywhere, but then had to spend
time to loot, and then had to come back AT THE HOLE, ie not anywhere. so either take
time to make a new hole or go back to where the
old one was. in either case, giving the imperial army enough
time to plug their ass.

old, I have to change his nappy, he doesn't respect math,
time, copyright or patent. He's poor. My nephew is 12, he has no money of his own, but he has a computer, mines his own coins, and although they are not worth much, he's able to participate, He can't participate in Banking, he's not even allowed to use his own account

ascii_field: anyone recall
old thread about banks getting
time from gps antennae ?
mod6: the Gentoo patches for gcc 4.8.4 changed during this interval from v1.5 to v1.6. Nothing special here. Wonder if there are this many changes to
old ebuilds all the
time?
mircea_popescu: a decade passes, and the thirteen year
old is confronted with the sad circumstance that hanna likes basketball players and rachel likes football players, and to become either you gotta talk to the respective coach, and the coach says you gotta spend all your
time practicing. well... he can't readily spend all his
time twice over.
mircea_popescu: "[How is it possible for an adult American to need to spend full-
time maintaining a 20-year-
old house? I got some insight into this the other day. << holy shit the us has turned into 80s romania.
danielpbarron: sure, but block zero would still have the
old unix
time stamp in it, or else it wouldn't be valid, right?
assbot: Logged on 02-06-2015 10:34:32; nubbins`: given that the outstanding debt and the box of tees are 18 months
old and 20 months
old, respectively, i think it's

☟︎ cazalla: i can't articulate it well but i'm sure i've read alf mention it before that it's part of the bezzle.. have you work and paid just enough to cover bills but never enough that you could be free of it within your life

old cazalla: mircea_popescu, lulz no but for anyone else, retention staff often have better deals than pay on

old, who attended a small private high school in the Valley, befriended Chad's brother Scott, who led him to DEN. Mike had an interest in acting, so when Collins-Rector outlined the possibilities for stardom offered by the site, the boy began spending

mircea_popescu: ironically, the jewish situation... oh gawd. at the
time of the holocaust, the hasidim were arguably the most advanced troop in the world. certainly > 90% of jewry by cultural and intellectual weight, if 50% or so by mass. for all the squalor of the
old manhattan, which is what eastern europe was, the place rocked.
mircea_popescu: at the
time they were spending massively on some sort of "re-whatever" urban thing. turned a bunch of the
old mills into artist lofts and whatnot
trinque: arguably this is the first
time this deedbot has seen any of these docs, so I don't think it makes sense to use
old transactions as the timestamp
mircea_popescu: when you're
old it's
time for "years employed" metrics.
trinque: dunno that there ever was a
time where rule of law did matter here; I'm neither
old enough nor educated enough to say
