brendafdez: Trying to reach that promised land of inbox 0 i unearthed an old message saying i had shares waiting for me on registration at CipherTrade. Towards the end of 2013 during the bubble, i had purchased a number of shares of CipherMine, because the issuer, Kate of memset, was also trans, hot and into women, so they couldn't possibly be a bad choice. I boght 90 of the things at some 4 LTC each. Each LTC was some 10 dollars at the time. I
asciilifeform: compiler-infection is as old as time.
mircea_popescu: "That'd be your VC circuit : a bunch of old men who have no time to spend with their actual children. They claim this is because "they have to work", but in fact it's because a) they're afraid of their actual children and b) their actual children hate and despise them, in no particular order. This in turn because they've failed to live, as an actual act in this world, and impose their existence upon those children, so
asciilifeform: nubbins`: opiate users typically od, paradoxically, after successfully quitting and then doing a bit again 'for old time's sake'
saifedean: so our conversation last time has gotten me to dig up the old heretic PhD and clean it up into a shorter readable paper with most the interesting bits
asciilifeform: posits a phase transition some time in early '60s where the 'optimates' (his term, something like 'old money') were dethroned by 'brahmins' (the folks running the show today, socialist functionaries who work 'for the good of m4nk1nd')
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> can also scan the old-fashioned way but then add two or three zeros to time required. << yes, but cheap enough :)
asciilifeform: can also scan the old-fashioned way but then add two or three zeros to time required.
felipelalli: gavinandresen: theymos said: << (...) Make the change now, but have it take place at a particular date or block number 2 years in the future. Then when the change actually happens, everyone will already be updated because almost no one uses 2-year-old software. Yes, 2 years is a long time, but we'll survive. >> is that possible and why it is a good or bad idea?
asciilifeform: every year i go to my local university's tech exhibit. there is always this one greybeard who runs their si fab, and he has some old wafers, etc. he also has a 'look in this box and press red button.' inside: svga display with graphics demo. the stamp on the box is some time in the '90s.
decimation: I've heard that once verzion runs fiber to your premises, they typically take the time to rip out the old copper wire
ben_vulpes: for instance, i've got a client who (for some silly reasons) basically needs to throw out their Solr index on a daily basis. the approach to date has been to drop the index at a low-traffic time, rebuild, and hope nobody notices. with docker, we can boot a new container, index into it, and then when the indexing is complete, shut the old solr container down and boot the new solr container. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you're not going to die man. at the very most, you'll be set in a room for 30 years' stretch. at a time where you're old enough to not really miss women so much anymore, and old enough to really appreciate the stability of 3 regular, predictable meals a day.
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: also mildly curious to know how much time your grandfather spent on irc shooting the shit and complaining about how shitty his wife was <<< all old folks i knew, of that exact generation, spent about 20 hours a week, each week, with a beer and tobacco, talking exactly the same things.
Overand: The stuff I'd have known by the time I was 4 or 5 years old if I'd been born right here ~600 years ago
cazalla: ben_vulpes, that's dated nov 13th, bit old by now, must've missed it at the time
nubbins`: my first time with 5x i had a mental conversation in a language i didn't speak with an old woman
kuzetsa: I'm old enough to have grown up around the time the original TMNT animated series was still on the air, but that doesn't make it (or me) any cooler I guess
mircea_popescu: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1crieg/a_tale_of_money_laundering_and_targetted_scamming/ old drama time.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Means old clients accept giberish, but miners actually hardfork if a "time locked" signature is mined early
mike_c: just in case it's helpful, i was seeing some wonkiness with mpex.ws last night too but didn't have time to debug. so the problem may be 24+ hours old.
BingoBoingo: Refresh, someone found the old door, time for a new door
mircea_popescu: <saifedean> this is the point when i must confront the brotherhood with my inadequacies... I still use windows and have no fucking clue what this GPG business is. << seriously, but an old laptop, put linux on it. it's like that time when you kissed a girl tho it seemed kinda stupid.
asciilifeform: as old-time english barkeeps 'leinted' (pissed in) pints of beer.
assbot: Logged on 13-02-2014 01:00:26; asciilifeform: fact is, 'carding' could disappear overnight if the card issuers wished it. (even in countries with ubiquitous old-style magnetic readers. devices which present the correct magnetism, using one-time account #s, are trivial.)
mircea_popescu: yes. the context is like so : an old time forex broker with a kind-of mlm-y past that used to do metals and everything got together with a guy that had a company that was going to trade debt advertised then suddenly disappeared. they hired a coupla software dudes (you and the Przelozny) and a very clueless legal chick with no practice. in this context, i'm trying to figure out exactly how did said debt trading platform
RagnarDanneskjol: i remember a time when being provocative didn't cause ppl to get all butthurt.. wasnt that long ago. I'm not that old
assbot: Logged on 12-10-2014 05:02:00; cazalla: not at this time, it's only 2 weeks old, maybe it dies tmw who knows
mircea_popescu: ideally, by the time he's old enough to have a gun he has enough experience with peashooters to know better.
cazalla: not at this time, it's only 2 weeks old, maybe it dies tmw who knows ☟︎
mircea_popescu: nubbins` what, you want them to go to argentina, misinstall ac units and have decontextualized bbq parties so old before their time cvasi-jews laugh at them over obscure internet venues instead, like those russians ?!
decimation: even in those old days they could reconstruct 'time' from solar observations & so forth, just took awhile to do so
thestringpuller: decimation: this is why it was so difficult to tell time in the sea during the old days.
asciilifeform: as if it were otherwise in old-time usa
mircea_popescu: dub: get back to me when you've stood in a cold noisy DC on a con call to mumbai for 15 hours <<< virgin after her first time : "hey, fucking is kinda fun!" old whore : "get back to me after you've had to clean two dozen sailor pricks honey"
asciilifeform: another old-time favourite - custom router firmware.
asciilifeform: when i read the 'rebecca' piece, i immediately assumed it was a green hills turd somebody dug up for old time's sake.
X-Rob: This is when ASICs suck compared to old GPU or CPU hardware, as they need extra time to reset and reconfigure
decimation: yeah I get his point that old stuff is better, but sometimes a new technology does come along. While he derides electronics, it is clear that man will be making integrated circuits until the end of time (unless a better technology supersedes it)
mircea_popescu: in this spirit : my old z80 clone had an english "codeword" instruction set printed out right on the kbd, as was fashionable at the time.
TheNewDeal: mircea_popescu: http://stats.bitcoin-assets.com/ << wouldja look at that, weekly active user count over avg last week for the first time in like half a year. <<< usagi has been firing up all his old names?
assbot: 65 results for 'old time' : http://search.bitcoin-assets.com/?q=old+time
ben_vulpes: !s old time
danielpbarron: BingoBoingo, at first I wanted to give it time to let others spade it out; eventually I decided I'd go for the wow factor of having a really old account that never ascended; plus I was mostly interested with the Mall, which is easier to use if you aren't focused on optimizing runs
mircea_popescu: if the average lifespan (esp for males) is in the low 40s, then sticking together family is perfect : by the time father croaks, kids are just old enough to pick up the pieces.
BingoBoingo: Chicken is old hand but carp is a new one for me. I might have suspected catfish as a stereotype, because like fried chicken everyone loves fried catfish. Carp though have so many pin bones in their filets. Honestly I find Gar a better use of my fishing time than carp.
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: i suppose they keep the site up, for old time's sake
punkman1: story time: I was at this remote beach camping with a dozen other people. Family shows up one morning via boat and sets up tents nearby. After a few hours Old Man approaches us and is like "hey guys can you put away all the dongs, we got kids here" while not being able to take his eyes off all the perky titties splashing in the water.
artifexd: It'll be the first time she's ever been away from me for more than an hour since she was 8 weeks old.

Dekker3D: But one team member started becoming more of a burden than a boon, and he was an old friend so I found it hard to cut him loose. We also lacked programmers, as I was spending too much time just managing stuff.
mike_c: there's only one active GoW at a time. but i do want to add a list of old games, etc.
nubbins`: i'd say one could dredge up some old letterpress machines down there if one had some time to kill

bitcoinpete: looks like i dumped the last ltc at the right time, buys orders be dried up like an old pruney woman https://btc-e.com/exchange/ltc_btc
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: reminds me of a time when i stowed some stuff in plastic garbage bags, then discovered they were... biodegradable. turned to astonishing quantity of dust. when vacuuming old flat, found fragments - years after the fact. ☟︎
fluffypony: every time they have an old retired person who's moving out of Germany they look at houses in Spain or Ibiza or Cape Town
cazalla: i don't tbh as i'm still relatively young and by the time i'm old, perhaps there will be a cure
kakobrekla: ;;rate usagi 1 Had a 1140 btc contract with usagi which entitled me to said amount on 2012-08-26. The final payment was done 2013-04-27, totaling 995 btc. The sum was 145 btc short but I agreed to let it slide because of distress on the market of the underlying 'securities' and rapid btc market price rise. The contract did not involve a requirement of leaving the feedback, but since he is asking to give him back btc 'for old time

Namworld: There's a reason why I'm not a forum admin tho, hard decisions to make, everyone always butthurt all the time, more bland content and same old being repated you can't read and filter everything.
decimation: ANDREESSEN: One of the characteristics of a new idea is all the experts who came up in the old regime look at it and laugh...Almost exactly 300 years ago, a Scottish economist, ironically, named John Law basically invented at the time this crazy idea of paper currency or fiat currency. ... And every economist on the planet 300 years ago thought that he was a complete lunatic. And so I think this is just the story, the recurring story of how
asciilifeform: zeroize key is as old as time.
Namworld: Crime, corruption, violence, torture, selfish wars. They were far more frequent in the "good old time of yore".

mircea_popescu: "The victorious punter jumped up and down waving his receipt in the air when the bills were added up shortly before closing time at the club, at the Embassy venue in Old Burlington Street. The nightclub has not revealed the identity of the big spenders."
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo midnightmagic is an old time miner with a very naive set of strongly held notions.
mircea_popescu: so basically -assets is like old time tv
mircea_popescu: "The first time I went to jail I was 18 years old. I had gone AWOL from the navy, was living with 3 prostitutes, and befriended an older Marine. The Marine and I decided to pull an armed robbery of a small convenience store. A policeman happened to be in the area, and after a long chase we were arrested and went to jail."
nubbins`: ThickAsThieves: every time i hear "one of us" i think of that old movie "freaks" or w/e it's called
asciilifeform: fact is, 'carding' could disappear overnight if the card issuers wished it. (even in countries with ubiquitous old-style magnetic readers. devices which present the correct magnetism, using one-time account #s, are trivial.) ☟︎☟︎☟︎
nubbins`: old apple was before my time
herbijudlestoids: im used to the type i guess lol, spent some time with owsley in his old age, very codger
asciilifeform: on old (proper) keyboards, the letters physically cannot come off (they're injection molded, the bottom of the key is black) they just get fatter over time.
herbijudlestoids: mircea_popescu: as someone who actually sits on SSRN in his free time reading research old and new i kind of disagree
carpet: has to be 18 year old to work full time
jurov: lol so supposedly MPEx "is designed to mesmerize potential users, making them invest lots of time (that old chestnut), and confuse them into losing their BTC; all-the-while awarding a sense of superiority."
mircea_popescu: Vexual no, he's an old time advocate and the original guy with a press job that did bitcoin some fair reporting
mircea_popescu: some people with nary a financial interest in the world do keep a keen eye to see what of the old time bitcoin brings back. it's really an anthropology goldmine first and foremost.
asciilifeform: 'good cop / bad cop.' old as time.
davout: mircea_popescu: it's just milking time, maybe you're referring to the really old-school ones where everything's done by hand ?

Vexual: play some old time rock graet
benkay: wouldn't be the first time one group of braniacs came up with a new name for an old thing discovered by mathematicians
mircea_popescu: jborkl re the wording : any time one sees a badly worded bet they can make a better worded one, which at least theoretically would create an advantage for his bet over the old bet and people would flock there.
Rulother: Yeah the Steam Summer Sale, crazy % off new and old games. It's the best time to buy games really.
Namworld: furuknap, you're assuming ASICMINER doesn't get smaller process/better ASIC out over time, and that old hardware never goes bust, thus it's always going up.
benkay: idiots are all "USE ALL THE PYTHON 3 PACKAGES BY DEFAULT ALL THE TIME WHO CARES ABOUT YOUR NOT EVEN OLD DEPENDENCIES"
splnkr: 18x --> 5x hope next time isn't just a boring old 2x boo
