mircea_popescu: lol
mircea_popescu: you want it ?
BingoBoingo: Not yet. I'll drink a bit, come up with some ideas, and see if any ideas survive the hangover tomorrow afternoon.
mircea_popescu: cool.

danielpbarron: What's known as "Internet Brigading" - the situation where a lot of people with no money and no practical importance complain loudly, as if anyone cares what the stupid poor say or think on any topic. << I had this happen to me over a particularly offensive tweet that got featured on some blog
asciilifeform: web checkin widget fails silently; airline's phone is eternal ad loop recording
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform did you get airline ticket scammed or what's the idea ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not detectably scammed, but the confirmation www does not appear to work.
mircea_popescu: tbh half working shit is par foir the course.
mircea_popescu: it DOES have rounded corners, right ?

williamdunne: Presuming the above is solved of course!
BingoBoingo: williamdunne: Don't take my word, trilema's up dig for the posts
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: It would also be interesting to read your counter-complaint - I can only imagine it follows along the lines of your correspondence with the SEC, but with a few more insults thrown in for good measure

BingoBoingo: Where's this complaining
BingoBoingo might consider spending more time in the United States to do law school and become a "Doing it doesn't mean you're guilty" lawyer
BingoBoingo: !up felipelalli
BingoBoingo: felipelalli: Congrats, you've been hanging around long enough to make it to the nearly "useful confusion" stage
BingoBoingo: !up virtuals
felipelalli: thanks BingoBoingo! I'd like to read more the logs, it is my TODO list, I just can't priorize too much it in this moment of my life. Also my English is not good as I wish so it is a little hard to me understand everything in full and because that I became a little hesitant to participate.
BingoBoingo: felipelalli: Well, the second best way to learn a language is reading stuff.
felipelalli: BingoBoingo: True! Most of my reading is technical stuff, because I am a developer and I am totally focused in it now, learning and developing systems. But it is totally different than the "natural language". I lived 1 year in Australia, it helped me a lot, but I don't feel very comfortable yet.
felipelalli: This is hard to me yet: https://www.englishclub.com/vocabulary/collocations.htm
assbot: Collocations | EnglishClub ... ( http://bit.ly/1PKgwy6 )
BingoBoingo: felipelalli: Well, most of the useful subset of English is the technical/business subset. Beyond that the barrister's subset of Englis is useful.
BingoBoingo: Ah, yeah. Only way to get collocations is reading fiction and listening to speakers
adlai: english: yet another common business-oriented language
BingoBoingo: English is COBOL for the mind
adlai: p much.
adlai: teaching it should be a criminal offense!
felipelalli: : )
adlai: speaking it, a misdemeanor
BingoBoingo: English isn't the worst though. I'm pretty sure modern Hebrew has all of the historical legitimacy of lojban
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 82314 @ 0.00030235 = 24.8876 BTC [+]
adlai: hebrew is an interesting language... quite regular, quite abstract. basically what you'd expect of a [re]constructed language that gets developed almost exclusively by either military slang or theological discourse
BingoBoingo also thinks Prussia should have been surrendered as reparations for the purposes of Establishing a Jewish state after WWII
adlai: well that would've sucked for all the prussians, although i guess they could've been deported to palestine, or uganda ☟︎
BingoBoingo imagines alt-Cold War tempered by Franco-Russian anti-semitism

adlai: the trouble is that the same troublemakers who made trouble, would've made it anyways, even if offered japan along with prussia
adlai: because of all the milk and honey
felipelalli: I heard Korean is a very good (almost artificial) language, like Esperanto.
adlai isn't sure esperanto meets any definition of "very good" beyond "has been force-taught to a few kids"
BingoBoingo: adlai: Isn't the dead sea at historic low levels? Canaan is just as much shitty desert as California except it's been abused much longer.
adlai: oh there are plans now
adlai: http://phys.org/news/2013-08-dead-sea-red-environmental-hackles.html

adlai: "The desalinated water will go south to (the Jordanian town of) Aqaba, while salt water will be pumped to the Dead Sea,"
BingoBoingo: Not to mention the whole part where Canaan is near the center of the former Ottman empire ought to make the area less desirable... Especially after what happened to the Armenians which was still rather recent...
adlai: eh?
adlai: what does the footstool kingdom have to do with the price of eggs in afghanistan
BingoBoingo: Maybe a little, maybe a lot?

williamdunne: "This is actually a very nice write up. Well done.
williamdunne: The only really amazing thing to me is that we haven't seen this entry on the list:
assbot: AMAZING COMPANY!
williamdunne: "Shady ROMANIAN character opens up unregistered bitcoin options exchange (complete with HTML from 1993) on his personal website (which also hosts porn) and charges exorbitant fees just to join, while constantly accusing pretty much everyone else in the bitcoin community of being a scammer, and, along with his (possibly virtual) -PR lackey, acts like a loudmouthed douchebag ... but apperantly scams no
williamdunne: one." (yet?)
williamdunne: Thank you Mircea for your services to the bitcoin community and for apparently being an honest and trustworthy entrepreneurial businessman. (Making you perhaps the only honest and trustworthy Romanian I know.)
williamdunne: Moral of the story? It can be hard to judge people."
williamdunne: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-04-2015#1101749 - thanks, pretty interesting. Nice screw up by ANX there ☝︎

BingoBoingo: williamdunne: The best part is the html comes from no earlier than from some bit later than 1993
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Yep
williamdunne: BingoBoingo: Impressive how accurate they are, guessing they must know some backstory
williamdunne: >while constantly accusing pretty much everyone else in the bitcoin community of being a scammer
williamdunne: Even more impressive, because it was almost always right
BingoBoingo: williamdunne: At that time that was written author had plenty of history to work with.

williamdunne: BingoBoingo: I need to catch up
BingoBoingo: williamdunne: Today I am drinking Vodka to celebrate the advent of more of Bitcoin's history involving MPOE/MPEx than not
williamdunne: Ah I guess its about 3 years since MPEX and 6 years since bitcoin. Thats like a bank lasting from the 1820s in the fiat world
williamdunne: I think MPEX needs a logo carved in stone, preferably with some sort of bird of prey on it
BingoBoingo: williamdunne: A GreyHawk???
williamdunne: Suitable
mircea_popescu: wow BingoBoingo that's a thing by now huh.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Yeah
mircea_popescu: cool beans.
williamdunne: I had (what I think) is an interesting idea the other day. Which could be rather educational for some people and entertaining for others
williamdunne: A website focussed at schools/universities/whatever, that would allow you to login via Facebook and "anonymously" make posts about other attendees. And then several months into the operation, slowly begin revealing the names of the OPs - with the option of paying a (bitcoin) bribe to have it not revealed
williamdunne: You just know that if you managed to get a few people on it they would all be dumb enough to sign on with facebook
williamdunne: See if you can throw some police stations/prisons/parliaments in there
mircea_popescu: i don't get what would be the point.
mircea_popescu: you could just as well hire indonesians to write random shit. there's a bunch of "reviews" sites spamming this crap, there was one even discussed in the logs, made an entry about "the bitbet casino"
mircea_popescu: very cringy-obvious never even saw the site.
mircea_popescu: supposedly someone cares enough to pay them, but i kinda doubt it's worth anyone's time.
williamdunne: I thought it would be interesting to see what people are willing to do with anonymity, and what they would pay to keep it

ben_vulpes: hola chicas
mircea_popescu: hey there
mircea_popescu: how's portland
ben_vulpes: clear, chilly
ben_vulpes: should surprise everyone with some rain in the afternoon
ben_vulpes: the normal routine
mircea_popescu: aha
ben_vulpes: and ba?
ben_vulpes: <davout> [08:21] so TIL that testnet doesn't behave like main net and will allow blocks of diff 1 to be mined whenever it "has been too long" between two blocks << this testnet stuff is bullhockey
ben_vulpes: just make an isolated network and watch it go
ben_vulpes: diddle as desired
davout: ben_vulpes: ideally configure an arbitrary genesis block in config file
ben_vulpes: remind me of why the genesis block matters please?
ben_vulpes: or is this the "rip out all magic constants" thread again
davout: ben_vulpes: if you want a different testnet you just need a different genesis block and a couple ports of your liking
ben_vulpes: no, i don't want a different testnet
davout: well, i do
ben_vulpes: testnet has diverged so far from mainnet that i don't even really understand the point of it anymore
davout: so random fucktards can't point their asics at it preventing me from mining with a cpu
davout: ben_vulpes: define "diverged"
ben_vulpes: well enlighten my sorely sleep deprived ass - what's the use case for testnet?
davout: paymium has a staging environment, and a sandbox environment, both run against testnet
davout: which makes testing easier on a few accounts
ben_vulpes: "diverged" << the whole block diff=1 thing, f.ex.
davout: yea, that's absolutely retarded
davout: if you want some "test thing" make it behave like "real thing"
ben_vulpes: mas o menos that it's not actually a proxy for bitcoin anymore
ben_vulpes: there are odd transaction relay rules etc i think
davout: ugh, didn't know about that
davout: if you have a configurable genesis block it removes the need for testnet entirely
ben_vulpes: yeah there's a mess of branches throughout the codebase that do different things based on "if testnet"
ben_vulpes: no dude but listen
ben_vulpes: if you set your staging and sandboxen up with bitcoinds that only talk to other bitcoinds you control that have never seen the mainchain
davout: testing is for faggots amirite
ben_vulpes: you've just made your own testnet that's...bitcoin.
davout: yep
davout: except i want my customers and partners to use the sandbox for their integrations
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> testnet has diverged so far from mainnet that i don't even really understand the point of it anymore << exactly. which is what he was saying.
ben_vulpes: ooh sticky
davout: the idea is that they can conveniently request coins from the testnet faucet, or mine them, and use them as play money
ben_vulpes: davout: your integrators should be savvy enough to boot into your private testnet.
ben_vulpes: mine their own coins.
mircea_popescu: but it would be a private main net
mircea_popescu: NOT testnet.
ben_vulpes: ding ding ding
davout: and it also has the added advantage that i don't have to do withdrawals on staging/sandbox
mircea_popescu: everyone aspiring to mpexness.
davout: ben_vulpes: i would need a faucet also

danielpbarron: The creator of this list claims that he is motivated by the altruistic goal of pressuring Bitlove (the creators of Fetlife) into implementing security fixes to prevent these sort of attacks happening in the future. Unfortunately, the so-called "meat" advertised by the list is comprised exclusively of female-identifying members under the age of 30.
danielpbarron: The information has been curated for and advertised to an audience of predominantly cis male sexual predators, that now have a well-laid out database of disproportionately vulnerable and inexperienced potential victims who may be unlikely to expose their alternative lifestyle by going to the police or perusing other means of defense.
