benkay: gribble returns seen by years and weeks
mircea_popescu: well yes, 2years ago. proly mthreat didn't get around to parsing the old stuff he got
benkay: *shrug* who even knows
benkay: the impedance mismatch between gribbles dates and the log dateformat makes for friction.

Azelphur: mircea_popescu: I dunno, I guess the monthly sub thing could work towards making some money, also what's assbots l2?
mircea_popescu: Azelphur but seriously, it has a fee attached. that makes money.

mike_c: well, more like why even bother worry about it. the odds of that happenning are zero.
mircea_popescu: a. because the sort of people who want to play this are ocd types

Duffer1: my unique random generated 25 alpha/num email pw, how does someone get that?
Duffer1: how were they able to change coinbase pw when i have 2fa enabled
mthreat: 2fa lasts 30 seconds; if someone were watching live, they could use it as you type it. <-- ultra paranoid

mthreat: if they hav your email, they can find it out?
mthreat: if you receive email from provider
Duffer1: it's not associated, the service is even in my moms name
Duffer1: which is why they weren't successful in setting up call forwarding
danielpbarron: idk man, I don't trust ubuntu; I can't even imagine trying to feign security on a windows machine
mike_c: Duffer1: if you are concerned the machine is compromised you should pull the network cable and never plug it back in.
Duffer1: that's the thing, i have no idea what was compromised
danielpbarron: well you have some idea: your email was compromised apparently

danielpbarron: I use it too; that's why I singled it out of all the other *nix variants
BingoBoingo: cazalla: For pure ease of use some Debian derivative will prolly cause you the least headaches
Duffer1: artifexd afaik my gpg key wasn't compromised, but i have know way to confirm, my bitcoins are safe, i don't have anything online or on my comp
artifexd: Still, it might be a good idea to put sweeping all your wallets and changing your gribble keys on your cleanup todo list.
artifexd: Sweeping to a paper wallet is first on my "what to do when shit is suspicious" list.
Duffer1: i'm already on paper, but i'll probably have to change gpg info
Duffer1: offline laptop, i bought it for that purpoes
artifexd: You also have a bitcoin address registered with gribble.
Duffer1: ya i take my shit seriously, which is why i'm surprised they got as far as they did
artifexd: I made my paper wallet with an abacus in a steel shielded room.
BingoBoingo: Well, windows is a limiting factor on how serious you can be
danielpbarron: i don't get it then; you have an offline machine for your BTC but you keep your gpg key on the online windows thing?
danielpbarron: although you don't have that much in your gpg identity yet; 2 ratings
Duffer1: yea pretty much convenience vs security on that one
artifexd: Someone is also much more likely to try to steal a wallet than a gpg key.
artifexd: gpg key compromise can be recovered from. Once your coins fly, they're gone.
danielpbarron: lol.. losing your gpg key could very well equal losing your coins.. plus more
Duffer1: danielpbarron they're unrelated for me at least
Duffer1: evil people, they don't like leaving me alone :(
mircea_popescu: <Duffer1> wtf << 2fa is shit. otherwise sounds like you got a keylogger.
Duffer1: i use a program that encrypts every keystroke at the driver level
BingoBoingo: Duffer1: Why? Dunno what purpose a program like that can serve.
Duffer1: to prevent keylogging - even if they had hardware access to my machine they shouldn't be able to log
mircea_popescu: <Duffer1> i suspect they called comcast and got some tier one wanker to reset pw << now this is also possible.
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 think. at some point your machine sees the keys.
mthreat: yep. a chrome extension, for example, doesn't care about your hardware
Duffer1: atm i'm building a list of everything that needs to change, it's long

danielpbarron: so someone from Bitcoin magazine gave me his business card at porcfest and told me they might publish an article if I write one for them; should I even bother, and what should it be about?
mod6: ^ and how b-a is where it's really @
danielpbarron: I'm guessing that any article worth reading wouldn't get accepted by their staff
mircea_popescu: if you have something you want published, either work with someone who already has a blog, and do a guest
mircea_popescu: pretty sure by now pankkake's rss reader has more readership than the bitcoin magazine anyway.
danielpbarron: yeah, I got they feeling Bitcoin magazine is like all those podcasts out there; they want the listeners to give them free content for them to advertize over
danielpbarron: I was talking to the guy about how none of the popular Bitcoin news sources focus on real security
danielpbarron: he was one of those "wow 2.0 !! decentralize everything" types
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many great new altcoins were thought up at porcupine
danielpbarron wouldn't know as he avoided most of the actual events
danielpbarron: I ran into someone who was already familiar with my MEAT asset on counterparty; that was pretty funny
assbot: The Kingdom of Loathing

danielpbarron: unless you think the let's talk Bitcoin network is actually worth 250 BTC
mircea_popescu: isk and rift plat are backed by bitcoinz, so why not this other thing.
mircea_popescu: As the number of KoL players increases, so does the cost of hosting. I very much want to keep the game free, so please consider supporting the development and maintenance of the Kingdom
danielpbarron: it's a pretty annoying community that plays; the only reason I played for as long as I did was because the economy was pretty fun
mircea_popescu: ow shit look at this, they're pretty developped actually huh. danielpbarron do you know any of the guys ? like this jick ?
mircea_popescu: teh splendor of this chan omg, ask and thou shalt receive. got the guy's email, all happy now.
danielpbarron: I don't like Jick but he's obviously very good at what he does; that game is over 11 years old now and he makes a living off of it

benkay: what was the sum of your rounds in btc?
the20year: I'd have to dig up the BF round numbers since i can't remember them offhand, but havelock was around 525btc

the20year: although someone had a pretty large share buy yesterday

the20year: hey now, we're like 60 years now without our rivers being on fire
the20year: One of the rivers (The Scioto) that goes through our county was/is actually one of the cleanest rivers east of the mississippi, it's actually rated high enough to drink from
the20year: Good overall, 9/12 units are rehabbed and rented (cashflowing too).
nubbins`: so i was out postering yesterday. i see these digitally-printed posters for the folk festival, all the toner is flaked and peeling off, absolute shit prints
nubbins`: i decide to take a photo and share it via pink eye
nubbins`: "hey, see how shitty digital prints can get? try waterproof pink eye posters"
mircea_popescu: PantyHotOffThePr a nm, just keeping an eye for the people trying to sell me their tit pics.
nubbins`: 12 hours later, lady from the folk festival emails asking for a quote ;(
mircea_popescu: the20year hey, do you have a bitcoin education tenant program ?
PantyHotOffThePr: Well that would be me as well, I just figured I'd eyeball a bit first. Seemed there was a discussion going on and I didn't want to be the asshole that just jumps in like "Yo, tit pic sale?"
nubbins`: the "yo" is a reasonably enough segue
the20year: Not yet, but we're planning on it, the big thing to get people into BTC will be our investor relation system that's coming up
PantyHotOffThePr: I'm guessing now's a good a time as any though huh? If you don't mind me asking, why start this up?
mircea_popescu: can be something as simple as a "Here's what Bitcoin is" leaflet left in the units.
mircea_popescu: PantyHotOffThePr well this has actualy been discussed, in the logs. let's see here.
ThickAsThieves: mp likes to make it hard to understand things, luckily he also likes explaining them
mircea_popescu: i'm one of those "mindfucks are the best fucks" sort of types.
PantyHotOffThePr: Got it, got it. Sounds cool enough. I had gotten a message via reddit and figured 'd come check it out
the20year: mircea_popescu: the plan now is to offer 5% off their rent if they pay in BTC
the20year: but part of doing that is doing a online billpay portal on our website and right now we hardly spend anything on our website because 100% of our action is on facebook right now
mircea_popescu: the20year that's nice for sure. but seems these are different demos

nubbins`: 20x5x5" tube or 20x26x2" box would be your choices
nubbins`: i suspect the tube would be cheaper to ship and more impervious to damage, but on the down-side your posters get rolled
nubbins`: corrugated cardboard, reinforced corners
nubbins`: the posters themselves are going on double-thick card
danielpbarron: if you guys set channel mode +z ops like assbot will be able to see messages from devoiced users; the !up command could work without a private message
nubbins`: looks like a roll would be about $30 postage, flat box would be $60+
nubbins`: which sounds way too high, but who knows

mircea_popescu: dude srsly. what data do they have showing it's equal, fairly or otherwise ?
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: because they ask users 1) Would you consider sleeping with someone on a first date, 2) What sex are you, 3) Do you like the taste of beer?
mircea_popescu: "Sadly, this is the only question with a meaningful correlation for women. For men there are a few others" << now i like them again.
Azelphur: given the answer to all 3, you have an answer xD
mircea_popescu: dude i'm having an on again / off again relationship with okcupid and it's official bl'og.
mircea_popescu: Q: Could you imagine yourself killing someone? << fuck me! this actually is to my knowledge the best predictor there is.
mircea_popescu: seems they not only figured this out, but also have a slightly better one. nuclear attack in certain light ?
assbot: [SQL] sqlite> SELECT count(*) FROM questions WHERE question LIKE "%STALE is to STEAL%" - Pastebin.com
Azelphur: nope, 145 users within 25 miles as me, 69 of them answered the question, 28 of them got it right
Azelphur: and amusingly I derped my statistic, so I myself am a plonker, it's 60% of people within 25 miles of me are plonkers.
ThickAsThieves: of the type of person that would fill out okcupid profiles
Azelphur: ThickAsThieves: well yea, true
mircea_popescu: mostly because a buncha cali fags and assorted antrepreneurs think it's chick.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i think yoga and budhism are different.
ThickAsThieves: Secret, one of the many anonymous social networks that’s risen to prominence over the past six months, today announced a $25 million Series B round led by Index Ventures.

ThickAsThieves: well buddhism is about removing desire, and, well, everything, no?
mircea_popescu: and i think women just about need 20 years to learn to orgasm, yes.
mircea_popescu: i don't know that many women that don't like sucking cock.
mircea_popescu: Frequent tweeters have shorter real-life relationships than everyone else, probably via some bit.ly hack. Unfortunately, we have no way to tell who's dumping who here; whether the twitterati are more annoying or just more flighty than everyone else.
mircea_popescu: i have an idea, just deliver add medicine with the whale.
mircea_popescu: and holy shit year and a half average relationships ?! what the fuck sense does that make, it's the uncanny valley of relationships. either a few good fucks for a coupla weeks or else years, who does this middle of the road bs ?
nubbins`: dudes who don't wanna deal with the 5 minutes of awkwardness it takes to break up with someone they're not really interested in
nubbins`: what else do you expect from a generation that deals with problems by ignoring them
dub: liek global warming?
nubbins`: well no, that's the previous generation
benkay: this one realizes that there's nothing to be done subconsciously about physics.
benkay: feelings, though, are legislatable.
assbot: Game Camera on Deer Gut Pile - Imgur
nubbins`: benkay: what's a war on drugs but a legislated range of feelings?
mircea_popescu: dub people deal with the problem of global warming by giving the bums involved more money to do more "research"
assbot: Guys get erections every morning, right? The concept of "morning" varies depending on where you live, with the "morning line" basically spinning around the earth infinitely, right? So does that mean that humanity has been doing a "boner wave" around the earth for hundreds of thousands of years? : Showerthoughts
nubbins`: i have so many quotable quips that it's hard to keep track
benkay: nubbins`: no way man that's rent-seeking.
nubbins`: srsly tho. war on unauthorized mental states
mike_c: oh man. bash is improving. there is some funny shit in there.
benkay: it's not a 'war' on anything.
benkay: it's an outlawing of things to make work for the rent-seekers.
benkay: this employs head-knockers and jail-lockers.
mircea_popescu: benkay no, it's not a war. the way i see it, to keep a police force going you gotta give it some niggers to pick on.
benkay: those exist anyways, man.
mike_c: i generally am disappointed when ninjashogun gets upped, but he is a gold mine.
mircea_popescu: and since the actual niggers are rioting... they moived to fags. those also rioted in the 50s
benkay: a reasonably sized constabulary could be had if its mandate were reasonable.
mircea_popescu: then again, that's what they said about fags, too. look into stonewall inn.
benkay: it's a massive constabulary though, and needs a massive mandate to keep it fat and busy.
mircea_popescu: benkay no, it could not. because you oculdn't motivate anyone to join it.
nubbins`: teaching and police work are for the daft or the dangerous
mircea_popescu: if you can give them someone to shitface, then you can get the dangerous to be useful.
benkay: but must we have so many constables?
nubbins`: it's harder to squeeze the dead air back out
benkay: what, you don't talk to regular humans for things like that?
mircea_popescu: also, idiots tend to think nothing they can't see exists. best way to keep compton in line is keeping cars on patrol.
mircea_popescu: they see a cop, the underdevelop part of their brain that regulates behaviour gets a jolt.
benkay: lol o compton's in line?
nubbins`: best way to keep this grease fire under control is to only let a little bit of oxygen at it
benkay: so does the usg, for that matter.
benkay: why not send robocop cars around?
benkay: all that part of the brain needs is the black and white, not the human behind the wheel.
nubbins`: haha i laughed at that one too
mircea_popescu: ends up involved with some cokehead, sister of tom cruise who's a total dudebro
nubbins`: wait, she wasn't tom cruise's sister
nubbins`: re: the retard cop (john c reilly), he's done some really bizarre comedy
mircea_popescu: anyway. retarded cop, gets out of car, has interraction with rapper 12 yo black kid
nubbins`: same kid that eventually finds his gun?
nubbins`: i was actually impressed by how much of a douchebag tom cruise's character was in that movie
mircea_popescu: anyway, i confess when i hear someone's a rapper, that kid is what i think about.
mircea_popescu: much like when i hear smeone's an entrepreneur, what i think about are the poor egyptian kids in luxor.
mircea_popescu: huddled around two 386 hooked into a dialup modem (cca 2004!), at the Luxor Center For Businessmen.
nubbins`: when i hear someone's a rapper, i think of reggie watts ;(

mircea_popescu: jesus what a promising thing ted was, and what a smoldering shitpile it turned into.
mircea_popescu: all this because they refused to implement anti-inclusiveness, hierarchy, closedness, etc.
nubbins`: ^ that video starts with the guy taking the piss out of every TED presenter ever
benkay: lady v's father is going to burning man
benkay: <mircea_popescu> a yes, magnolia. ever seen magnolia benkay ? // no sir
mircea_popescu: well it's a shitty movie, but i guess it makes this particular sidepoint well.
benkay: no but srsly the foxnews conservative gentleman is going to burning man
benkay: it's always over this year.
benkay: it's got it's own eternal september thing
mircea_popescu: maybe your father in law is considering it's unfair you shoulda got the vixen, and wants to get a replacement.
benkay: yeah, sr. lady v's marbles are a bit scattered
mircea_popescu: "honey, i love you very much, but i just can't live without twentysomething yo cunt in the house"
benkay: i did cart her off to burning man and then demanded a dowry so you may be on to something there
benkay: (eternal september is also a poor joke about the dates of the thing in question)
benkay: hey last night i learned that gates sr, jr, and warran buffet indulged in an orgy while floating through some famously beautiful chinese water thing
benkay: but who says they were the only ones, eh?
benkay: more reasonable assumption is a bevy of local sluts.
mircea_popescu: did this have anything to do with giving away money for forwarding omething ?
ThickAsThieves: <+mircea_popescu> well it's a shitty movie, but i guess it makes this particular sidepoint well. /// everyone ive ever shown the movie too agrees with you, but it has this lingering impression
BingoBoingo: Forward this email to X people and old fucks invade your house for an orgy?
mircea_popescu: also the fact they try so hard to re-do QT it's almost lulzy
BingoBoingo: I'm a lemon party truther. Lemon party is an Obama scheme to keep McCain out of the White House.
