http://shrani.si/f/47/UL/3m3knoYx/imag1961.jpg /// the streaking? i assumed it's a laser printer, you may have an expired head, or rollers/head are dirty. If you mean that most of the print is missing on the new one, well it could be a major malfunction, bad head. If you mean the dusting on the white area, you may have toner in your
ThickAsThieves: parts and the inside of the printer needs to be cleaned. That's off the top of my head.
kakobrekla: ThickAsThieves both prints should be all black
kakobrekla: but i cant change the head even if i change the toner
kakobrekla: i guess so, doesnt seem to be a common problem
ThickAsThieves: they are electrostatic, so if you use the wrong stuff on rollers or such itll fuck up shit
ThickAsThieves: the paper has a coating that accepts charge, the head delivers it in the print pattern, the paper is run over toner and it sticks, then it is melted on, if any full-contact parts were cleaned and have residue, they will disrupt the process
ThickAsThieves: though a hard stop like you show would be a separate problem probably
BingoBoingo: I refuse to consider them proper "laser" printers until they work because the laser burns its message

BingoBoingo: Basically ever since 2004 when I bought a computer I've been waiting for an opportunity to use GPG and... Bitcoin afforded that.
youtubetard: haha very nice. Bitcoin has opened a whole new world to basically anyone will to learn/understand it
youtubetard: which is amazing if you really think about it
youtubetard: I built and fiddled with various electronics when I was very little...leading to me building a computer. Came to a better understanding of real money and stable currencies, discovered bitcoin in 2010. and have pursued it ever since
The20YearIRCloud: I think we (Rentalstarter) will be having another webinar type thing September the 1st
BingoBoingo: Ah, even though ~2010 was when I first started reading on it, fucking library school. Wasn't until very late 2012 I started playing with it more seriously and 2013 that I started seeking introductions.
youtubetard: ah, it does take time...BTC was deff sketch at first, but that's more so if you're used to seeing things from a consumer/comercial stand point
The20YearIRCloud: BingoBoingo: going over company financials, forecasting, where the company is headed in the short term
BingoBoingo: youtubetard: See my mistake was I imagined myself poor when I could have seized upon something powerful at the time... But instead dreams of librarian jobs danced in my head.
BingoBoingo: And I've always wanted to be an Emperor, or at least a lesser Lord of the Manor much more than I've wanted to be a librarian.
The20YearIRCloud: maybe some day you can start your own empire in a 3rd world country
BingoBoingo: The20YearIRCloud: Why not in the remains of a "superpower"
youtubetard: ^prices fluctuate. Just gotta position yourself...becoming a religious leader helps
BingoBoingo: The20YearIRCloud: Maybe if you plan to camp out there through all the intermediate steps
The20YearIRCloud: Eh, gdp between 2nd world and 3rd world is huge, much easier to pay some PMCs and take over a african despot than say kazachstan
BingoBoingo: Right, you could be the motherfucker who has the bomb and an acute shortage of lithium citrate syrup USP
youtubetard: but, micro-states are on the rise no doubt.
youtubetard: especially with the use of crypto tech such as btc and being able to generate more free flowing economies
The20YearIRCloud: There are some pretty good candidate areas for micro countries if yo ucould break away effectively
BingoBoingo: The olds might forgive his neglect, but the youth are always going to think Obama's an Uncle Tom
youtubetard: yea...Quebec will hopefully demonstrate a peaceful and constructive seccesion
youtubetard: although with the rate of bankrupt nations...it shouldn't be too difficult
youtubetard: more complexity is the nature of all things in the long term. So the rise of many many many micro states is very likely. People see Liechtenstein's success
BingoBoingo: The weird thing is an independent Flanders is probably going to be more capable of keeping ISIS at bay than the combined efforts of the US and UK ever could
youtubetard: oh yea, I agree. If anything ISIS has seen the success of the TaliBann in creating a "Day the Mouse roared" scenario. The US continues to bleed and become bankrupt whilst attempting to maintain "stability" in a non-stabile enviorment
xmj: gentlemen, I need your opinion on something.
xmj: What would make for a better home base in 2015 or 2016: Luxembourg, Monaco or Jersey/Guernsey?
youtubetard: great question. I don't see europe being safe honestly. While Monaco and other principalities are entering their golden age...the time to be there is now...not in 5 years +
youtubetard: but that's my opinion. Prices are high there, so I can't see a benefit financially
xmj: BingoBoingo: nah. Ukraine
xmj: and yes, if Russia doesn't invade Ukraine is another option on the table.
xmj: BingoBoingo: You haven't been there. You haven't seen Ukrainian women on the streets.
BingoBoingo: Ukraine is going to suffer full Russian invasion or not
xmj: The20YearIRCloud: Poland also has a catholic population, which is fucking annoying.
xmj: Twenty-somethings going to church _every sunday_.
The20YearIRCloud: I'd be more worried about making the right decisions as a state than religious preferences
xmj: let's assume I want to something in the West. Which is either Anglo-Saxon, or Germanic.
BingoBoingo: But what if you love her ? What if you love what she’s doing to you, not necessarily for what it is but for it being her doing ? Maybe you even hate it for what it is, on some level, but because she’s doing it you love it anyway. Years later I read in a learned article that that’s exactly how women love, not for the thing but for its meaning, and I was enlightened. That’s what they mean by the meaning of things, do they ?
xmj: de-federalized? you mean, proper central state, not just a fake one?
xmj: fake - in all but law
The20YearIRCloud: Meaning the federal goverment went back to the original role of only planning national defense and nothing else
The20YearIRCloud: Most US states are run pretty well, but when you add the federal goverment into it, it becomes a huge mess
BingoBoingo: This latest trilema MP put out is quite the read
youtubetard: lol very true...the fed is just spiraling into the darkness
xmj: The20YearIRCloud: of course
xmj: I thought you meant the other way round
The20YearIRCloud: But state budgets, control, state/house makup, they're run well
xmj: well, they have no one to bail them out (cf Californian default)
The20YearIRCloud: Ohio is a prime example, in the past 10 years we've finally got a group in the house that knows what they're doing and are repealing a bunch of dumb laws
BingoBoingo: The20YearIRCloud: Ohio might suffer the most from reduced Federal dependence...
xmj: The20YearIRCloud: the funny thing is:
The20YearIRCloud: left to their own devices, California, Illinois, new york and maryland would implode
xmj: US-american libertarians think they can fix the flaws of the Constitution by reverting to it.
youtubetard: still...smaller limited govmints where authority tends to be inhereted to the local inhabitants tends to be more stable....at least history tells us so
youtubetard: lololol constitution caused most of all the issues we have today
BingoBoingo: Split could run as far south as I-64 and I'd be happy

youtubetard: yea...Putin seems to be very fond of the ole days
BingoBoingo: The US, India, Russia, and China all seem to have size related hazards

mircea_popescu: The20YearIRCloud: left to their own devices, California, Illinois, new york and maryland would implode << exactly. they're also the only three examples where a trickle of leeching happens even with the federal govt (ie, it's where corrupt politicians try to build a career state-level)
mircea_popescu: (maryland excepted. i have nfi idea what it's even for. without washington it'd look like detroit five weeks after everyone grew wings)
The20YearIRCloud: I'm basing my statement on individual states based on balanced books and economic outlook, i realize that states suck the government teat, however if you look at total federal aid and who it goes to ,the big thing is military aid
mircea_popescu: what i mean is, the porkbarrel leeches that curently push and deform washington
The20YearIRCloud: You also have to realize those politcians getting the pork are not the ones who run the state
BingoBoingo: The20YearIRCloud: A lot of military pork is spent in Ohio
The20YearIRCloud: The lima tank plant is prolly the best example of pork military spending out there
mircea_popescu: the entire "federal funds" thing has nothing to do with anything. they're not "federal" funds in any sense.
BingoBoingo: And it being spent there eases the jobs of the state level comrades
The20YearIRCloud: The difference in most states is that you elect senators on a state-wide level, so it's very easy to stack votes in areas (And I blame it on fraud) leading to very centrist/leftist politicians in washington
mircea_popescu: sure. but if there were no feds, the same money would still be available.
mircea_popescu: The20YearIRCloud trust me, new gerrymandering would be invented.
mircea_popescu: the current system didn't exist before it was needed either.
The20YearIRCloud: For state senators, it's based on geographic districts, and the heavily urban areas have limited voting abilities, so here in ohio, 70% of state senators/house members are right/non-left
mircea_popescu: inasmuch as there's a public treasury somewhere, there's going to be a troop of people forcing it open.
mircea_popescu: wherever you houise it, washington or akron, they'll take a bus
The20YearIRCloud: Sure, but if you look at each state, some states have essentially become mini-washingtons, and others are not
mircea_popescu: only because some states have stuff to be leached and some don't.
The20YearIRCloud: Not every state is constantly growing the size of government or increasing efficientcy
mircea_popescu: illinois is bigger and richer than ohio. so is california. so is ny. that is all.
The20YearIRCloud: Texas has plenty to be leached and they continue to have a balanced budget and generally more efficient finances
mircea_popescu: it's a matter of size not quality. once the pig is ripe, it gets sliced.
The20YearIRCloud: Florida is also leaps and bounds better than the liberal states, and they're large as well
BingoBoingo: The20YearIRCloud: If we go truly paleo Illinois has so much more to sell in... Biodiesel...
The20YearIRCloud: urban areas want to control everything, rural areas typically don't
mircea_popescu: just because rural folk are slow doesn't mean they're immune from falling.
BingoBoingo: The20YearIRCloud: But without Chiraq where do you harvest easy lipids for rendering?
The20YearIRCloud: I'm curious what would happen to cities if they do what some counties have done here in Ohio and effectively end police service
mircea_popescu: The20YearIRCloud you're like, a proud ohio citizen or something, are ya ?
The20YearIRCloud: half of my county has no police service, some counties have one officer who works half a day
The20YearIRCloud: I enjoy the state severely, lots of business, but I can also own a machine gun or drive a tank down the highway
BingoBoingo: I mean I like parts of illinois, but Missouri is the way to go.

BingoBoingo: People up me when I join and haven't log caught up and can't speak informedly yet
SuchWow: there's like 50 ppl here with voice
SuchWow: and most of them don't say anything either
BingoBoingo: In -otc doe you worry when people check ;;ident or ;;gettrust?
SuchWow: so could we just please add me, and i'll continue to not say anything ever?
fluffypony: SuchWow: if you're just here to observe why do you need voice?
SuchWow: and maybe one day, if i get to your level, i'll say something
fluffypony: all of those people with voice - every single one of them - is in assbot's L1 or L2 trust group
fluffypony: if you don't bother to understand the rules why should anyone make an exception for you?
SuchWow: fluffypony: I'M JUST TIRED OF BEING PINGED FOR NO REASON THAT'S REALLY ALL IT IS LOL
BingoBoingo: SuchWow: Even if you could self voice... No one gets voice on joining except the bots
SuchWow: [03:16:02] <SuchWow> IF I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING I WILL PM YOU
mircea_popescu: <decimation> because blacks vote 99% democrat, therefore making their opinions on any political matter void << i dun think this is true.
SuchWow: just leave me alone and let me be lol
BingoBoingo: Now I'm just going to up you to be a dick, at times you least expect it
SuchWow: ooo who's the troll with voice now
SuchWow: sorry if that's what it takes
SuchWow: but that is not what this chan is about
SuchWow: but enjoy your perma voice
BingoBoingo: Well, keeping people honest is a large part of what this chan is about
mircea_popescu: <RebeccaBitcoin> Although I could be an imposter, so thats not cool Although I could be an imposter, so thats not cool << impostor of... whom ? some chick on the interwebs ?
BingoBoingo: I have to auth with gribble and pm assbot as everyone else does

SuchWow: i don't understand the topics here enough to comment on them
SuchWow: but i understand they are important
SuchWow: so like i said 4 weeks ago
SuchWow: either give me +V or just stop upping me please
SuchWow: not at all, you're being ridiculous BingoBoingo
mircea_popescu: <SuchWow> i have no desire to go to that site lol <fluffypony> well then you can't have perm voice. << i like how neatly this works. army-like almost.
SuchWow: as i've asked for weeks now
SuchWow: could you please not up me unless i ask for it
SuchWow: that's ALL i've ever asked
SuchWow: is only because you keep doing so
SuchWow: that this convo is taking place
fluffypony: too late, I've already written a script to randomly up you every 1-4 days
BingoBoingo: I drink a lot which lets me forget these things
fluffypony: I can make it more frequent if you'd prefer, every 12-24 hours?
SuchWow: i don't WANT voice - i just want to stop GETTING voiced for no reason, which pings me at start, and again 30 min later
SuchWow: hence why I just say 'make me perma voice' lol
SuchWow: so i don't have to even notice
mircea_popescu: SuchWow i guess one way to go about it is ignore assbot.
mpmcsweeney: I heard about this IRC through a colleague
SuchWow: i've never once used the /ignore command
SuchWow: i don't intend to start today
fluffypony: mpmcsweeney: to irritate SuchWow, apparently
assbot: Of men and mice pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.

mircea_popescu: kakobrekla how difficult would it be to have yet another assbot list and a command. if someone goes !novoice then assbot never 30min voices them again
mircea_popescu: but instead says "sorry, this person has nothing to say"

SuchWow: mircea_popescu: see, you get me lol. and yes, i remember you being here the last time we had this conversation and so i thank you :)
SuchWow: a simple solution would be
SuchWow: don't voice someone who hasn't asked for it :)
SuchWow: because maybe one day i do want voice
mircea_popescu: and i don't just mean people who don't know irc. i mean people who barely grok computers.
SuchWow: oh i understand that entirely
SuchWow: if it is newbs you wish to cater to
mpmcsweeney: SuchWow you have a presence in #dogecoin no?
BingoBoingo: The thing is many people get pinged for things they couldn't care less about.
mircea_popescu: not wish. but sometimes people need to be here that are noobs.
SuchWow: you utilize a standard irc hierarchy
mircea_popescu: willy nilly bitcoin forces a lot of fiat know nothings into here.
Vexual: ill train you to use ignore, it's pretty a standard doge trick
SuchWow: BingoBoingo: I've been temp-upped 20+ times. I've never had one single thing to say.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo in fairness emily was quite adept, netiquette et all.
SuchWow: i refuse to use ignore. it's juvenile and immature imo
SuchWow: i just boycotted this chan for weeks
SuchWow: and this week i come back, and here we are again
mircea_popescu: SuchWow you could just read the logs on the webpage i guess
Vexual: well expect to get pinged
SuchWow: i just have nothing to say
SuchWow: and ask for an up or whatever
BingoBoingo wonders what sort of alert SuchWow has set for IRC pings
SuchWow: i've said nothing relevant to this chan
SuchWow: whatever, troll me all you want
BingoBoingo: SuchWow: You've said so much though in little time tonight though
mircea_popescu: i am guess this whole shebang is quite revolutionary. it doesn't sit well with irc traditionz at all.
SuchWow: it's just a simple popup box that flashes
BingoBoingo: You are highlighting parts of the infrastructure that work well
SuchWow: andthe chan is a diff color
SuchWow: y'all have your own weird way of doing things
SuchWow: just stop upping me unless i ask for it
SuchWow: the people upping me know who i am

mircea_popescu: SuchWow basically, the infrastructure is new, and there isn't an answer for everoyne's needs. you're a poster child for this problem.
SuchWow: it's cool i'll play the game
mircea_popescu: decimation both. they doin't vote 99% for one, and if they did, their oppinions would be relevant.
mircea_popescu: in the sense that with a 99% block you have nothing to gain, but a lot to lose.

mircea_popescu: decimation seems you have a much stronger point than originally thought, re the 99%.

mircea_popescu: decimation i never really gas about the race politics in the us, so all this is news to me.
SuchWow: i just wish someone could've explained it like that to me months ago when i first arrived :)
fluffypony: SuchWow: I linked you to a blog post about it
BingoBoingo went quiet from the time logs were introduced to the time MP started the Eve corp... pretty sure other people miss my silence
mircea_popescu: SuchWow a month ago you hadn't talked enough for us to know enough about you to know it'd be beneficial.
SuchWow: and possibly it IS explained in the topic. but whoever reads that lol
SuchWow: yet i was upped 20 times anyways lol
SuchWow: yes it is my fault for not reading

SuchWow: because i've read both, and i don't see the comparison
BingoBoingo: SuchWow: While the "core devs" endlessly debate a utxo command... Bluemat introduced a subnet for miners that allows them some optimization that has had the potential to be there all along.
SuchWow: right i get that. what does that have to do with the conversation you all had with me earlier?
BingoBoingo: SuchWow: Well imagine yourself a "core dev" imagining anyone gets automatic +v in this chan to avoid "getting pinged"
SuchWow: i've never once suggested that just anyone should get automatic +v
SuchWow: once you +v someone a dozen times
SuchWow: why not go ahead and perma it?
BingoBoingo: All this time you've imagined the fault was in others curiosity about you, when the problem is joining a channel and imagining people won't be curious

HeySteve: wonder how long before some respectable financial institution (cough) tries this with Bitcoin
usagi: "In other words, for the first time "holding" gold will pay a dividend (or in this case, interest)."
usagi: I don't even know where to begin with stuff like that
HeySteve: yeah, how can not holding it be holding it?
usagi: Almost every single word in the sentence is wrong
usagi: Well steve, there is a difference between zero value and positive zero
usagi: Like if I promise to give you a thousand dollars at some point in the future, that has value
usagi: "Investors may not hold gold in unwrought form according to South African law;" lol
chetty: <usagi> Like if I promise to give you a thousand dollars at some point in the future, that has value//only if your promise has value
usagi: actual and perceived value being completely different.. in the case of the bank the perceived value is probably very high.. The banks around here have been doing the same sort of thing for years
usagi: They allow you to invest in gold but they don't actually give you the gold.
usagi: It's actually impossible to ever redeem it. But the banks promise that they will buy back the gold you have on account with them should you want to sell it
HeySteve: on the face of it, the bank must relend the gold in order to pay the interest
chetty: <usagi> actual and perceived value being completely different..//being the root of much evil
HeySteve: so it's not just trusting the bank, but their counterparties too
HeySteve: not sure why anyone would go for this, but you always get idiots
HeySteve: the interest rate is way too low for the risk imo
usagi: Let's say you have a reasonable amount of gold, more than a kilo say
usagi: If the wrong people find out it's in your house, they will come and get it from you (and they will, and they will get it)
usagi: Especially if you're in the wrong country at the time
usagi: So who's going to hold your gold... Normally you have to pay for such a service but here come these nice people offering to pay you money to hold it for you
HeySteve: hmm well gold does have its holding costs
HeySteve: a secret buried treasure chest is a lot more secure than a bank vault I'd say
HeySteve: it's like cold wallet... or coinbase?
punkman: private key being the gps coordinates
usagi: The only way I can imagine someone paying you to invest your gold with them is if they were selling it for an inflated price. I used to do that with TU.SILVER, I front-loaded my fee and the shipping cost into the share price
usagi: But in any other case, if you give someone your gold and they pay you to hold it, the deal is that at some point in the future you won't be able to get it back

BlueMeanie4: haha were you around when all that crap happened?
BlueMeanie4: NXT isnt secure- theyre addressing some important ideas that have been floating around for a while- but not doing it securely or faithfully
BlueMeanie4: great, I've been reading Mircea Popescu lately- enjoy his writings
assbot: How does one list on MPEx ? pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
BlueMeanie4: this is precisely the issue they were having at NXT. People issuing ponzi assets, in particular jl777
BlueMeanie4: so I wanted to introduce them in a package called 'Virtual Corporations' which were a crypto way of having trustees over accounts and few other features
BlueMeanie4: so it looks like Mircea has the vision, just doesnt have the technology developed
BlueMeanie4: not sure if these things are particularly associated with this channel...
BlueMeanie4: we were looking at way to automate rating and a format to index securities and such
BlueMeanie4: in particular i find crypto-bond markets interesting

BlueMeanie4: hey if the mod is going to silence me for no voiced reason mid conversation- why bother?
☟︎ BlueMeanie4: i guess ill try to be more concise. Mirceau's blog makes me want to learn Romanian.
BlueMeanie4: ha it reminds me of yiddush literature very similar
chetty: good news is he doesn't write in Romanian anymore, all English these days
BlueMeanie4: ya the way he uses english is just brilliant
