undata: decimation: you just like... get infinite reddit gold... man.
undata: and a reddit alien plushie
mats: i'd ask for mod privileges on every subreddit
mats: then shadowban 90% of posters
decimation: it's amusing because apparently they get '70 million views' per month, and yet they are unable to be profitable... because if they started to monetize with ads, they are afraid that their '70 million views' would dry up
decimation: some bum who camps next to the George Washington bridge also has 300,000 'views' per day - that doesn't transform him into a 'profitable business'

mats: carpal tunnel blows
mats: i once met a grizzled old dude in a bar who had been career airborne
mats: shortly after becoming an NCO he was involved in a bad jump where his hand got caught in the static line
mats: he had a few seconds to make a decision to risk breaking his arm and dying on the way down or lose a few fingers
mats: he decided to give up the fingers. told me it didn't hurt that much.
mats: same guy told me he developed carpal tunnel after getting into computers and using some weird one handed keyboard with odd mappings
mats: after drinking heavily one night he decided to fix the problem with a brick and smashed his wrist
mats: it didn't work. kek. but, this didn't hurt that much either...
mats: not the brightest guy but shit he was a boss
mats: its pretty hopeless as far as carpal tunnel goes
undata: mats: was there some more specific strategy with the brick than "fuck this wrist..." ?
mats: didn't ask, was too busy laughing
BingoBoingo could imagine in the not too distant future people doomed to careers of data entry having surgery to radiacally rearrange the anatomy of their arms below the elbow.
undata: reminds me of my stepdad; he once nailgunned 3 fingers together, then calmly drove himself to the hospital and when asked what his "complaint" was, presented the hand with a grin
undata: BingoBoingo: hopefully we have some BCI thing by then
undata: brain-computer interface
BingoBoingo: fuck that. We don't have computers I'd trust for an important half of that.
BingoBoingo: Quietly reading things it shouldn't be reading while leaving me unaware
undata: oh it brings up all kinds of terrifing scenarios
decimation: right now one must drill a hole in the skull and dress the would each week to prevent infection that could eat your brain
thestringpuller: mats: that's the most depressing story I've heard today :(
BingoBoingo: It's not the terrifying scenarios that worry, but the mundane ones.
mats: i talked to a surgeon a few years ago (ive had CTS since 18) and i was told that 50% of people operated on don't experience any change, and of the remaining half that get positive results, half of them see only a mild reduction in pain and a good number (i can't remember) experience a recurrence in symptoms in their lifetime
undata: mats: I went on a recent keybinding rally mapping things to space as leader plus keys around the index and middle fingers
decimation: mats: it's probably cheaper and safer for him to knock you out and perform a placebo surgery on you
decimation: I found mapping ctrl to caps lock helps alot for emacs pinkie
mats: i wasted 2 months talking at a computer (dragon) trying to make it do useful things
undata: I pervert emacs with evil mode and evil leader
undata: thestringpuller: I find the best vim to be emacs :D
mats: i shouldn't have tried coding in python
mats: at the end of 2 months i had gone through a stack of keyboards i bought at a flea market
thestringpuller: i've always wanted to write a sketch about two computer gangs who are as ruthless as bloods and crips. but they are the vim's and emacs'
mats: ... smashed em to bits in fits of rage
mats: it was ok, i guess, i'm impatient is all
mats: it took six weeks to get the software somewhere usable
decimation: yeah I think coding with speech recognition would suck
decimation: it would probably be okay for dictating an email or whatever
mats: for basic things. i never really got it to work with code.
undata: decimation: the guy above came up with his own weird language for voice-coding
undata: I'd never use it, but seems great if you lack functional hands
decimation: yeah the logical option would be to make up words to stand for syntax stuff
decimation: it's not as dumb as it sounds. one can buy a 'keyer' that will automatically make series of dots, dashes and combinations of dot/dashes

mats: and i drop my trousers and assplode everywhere. i get it on my gear, no way around it
mats: i try to clean up with pine needles and brush and shit but it doesn't really work, and i didn't pack baby wipes
mats: i do ma bestest, pull up my big boy pants and basically sprint the rest of the way there
mats: afterwards, we're in formation and all the dudes in the group have made it, and people are making fart jokes as usual
mats: eventually the dude behind me realizes it was me and calls me out
mats: i... lol bc wtf are you going to do?
mats: the nco running the thing gets in front, starts talking, etc, and stops in front of me and starts bitching at me about putting my shit away
mats: he says it a buncha times and i'm confused bc how am i going to clean up before we get back to the barracks?
mats: he gestures, i look down, and realize my dong is hanging loose
undata: that was not nearly enough bash
decimation: " In combat this very often results in nonessential activities such as digestion, bladder control, and sphincter control being completely shut down. This process is so intense that soldiers very often suffer stress diarrhea, and it is not at all uncommon for them to urinate and defecate in their pants as the body literally “blows its ballast” in an attempt to provide all the energy resources required to ensure its survival."
mats: i ended up ruining a knee a few weeks later
mats: too much running with gear on, apparently thats not good for your joints
mats: you gotta finish the 12mi in under 3 hours

fluffypony: the page showing the payment screen contains a 402 header in addition to the page

thestringpuller: I guess depends on what wallet you attach it to for "automated payment".
thestringpuller: People get annoyed enough as is with the whole auto-payment stuff that happens with itunes "da autorenewal".
thestringpuller: 402 with bitcoin address that resolves to 200 once payment is paid is neat as part of paywall.

mircea_popescu: jurov any chance reddit will get DERPified? << mebbe, i'dhave to look into it. if it does it won't be this year.

mircea_popescu: speaking of corporations without official headquarters.
Adlai: and why would it be an S?
Adlai: the fuckup fairy loves a threesome
thestringpuller: dunno if reddit will ever be profitable long term. it's like borderline derp
Adlai: reddit will be rather profitable if they can increase by an order of magnitude the number of casual bitcoin dabblers, while watching their every breath, move, bond, and step
mircea_popescu: this is like saying that the spanish empire could be quite profitable if "it increases" the number of jews inhabiting it. for one thing, it's not the empire increasing it, for the other, they'll fuck it up
Adlai: they wouldn't be making money off the amount of wealth transfered, though. they'd be making money per successful ad targeting.
Adlai: s/will/could potentially, should they properly leverage their position etcetcblabla/
mircea_popescu: these theoretical potentials, you know ? men could breastfeed if they leveraged their boobs.

BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: You just don't know how the world works!!!
Adlai: dunno. seems to me like they're just trying to get their edge in the graph-coloring race, in whatever way seems opportune right now. not saying anything about the likelihood of any individual participant to come out ahead, but there is a race and somebody will be winning it.
mircea_popescu: they're trying to be the biggest pony express company this side of the railroad, because such is the way things go.
Adlai: "coloring" is probably the wrong word for this: turning the bitcoin transaction/address graph into a bitcoin transaction/[corporate]person graph
Adlai: what do you mean by pony express?
mircea_popescu: what i thought you meant was : 1. people will make up numbers, irrespective of any reality, because it's what people do ; 2. those numbers will be put on an arbitrary graph ; 3. there will be a race to pretend meaning out of this meaningless combo. which race we call "painting the graph"
mircea_popescu: sort-of like obama sitting in front of a line angled from the bottom left to the upper right, for no particular reason, that "represents" the "people", neither quoted symbols meaningful to any degree.
Adlai: that race is only worth watching if there are some real captains of industry bidding on the fastest horse
mircea_popescu: or just like a ceo stands in front of the same holy line, supposedly his performance somewhere in therer.
Adlai: meanwhile it'll be fun to see how they conjure up an insecure security
mircea_popescu: so in this sense, they wish to be the biggest provider of obsolete nonsense to the new world of novel nonsense.
Adlai: well they're already the frontpage of nonsense :)
mircea_popescu: nonsense has this blessed ability to carry an infinite number of front pages.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well I thought that one of the timecube's essential points.
mircea_popescu: holy shit the chinese actually understand why chinese women are ugly ?!
Adlai: what's the financial incentive to paint these graphs? somebody must be subsidizing for companies to compete over it, even if it's just inadvertent subsidizing by clueless VC bagholders
mircea_popescu: Adlai it's much simpler than that. confine three people in a space, notice they will talk. the stuff they talk about is unimportant, to them and everyone else.
mircea_popescu: this same fundmental process is at work in "business".
Adlai: ok, true. how about: "the steve pavlinas of the world"

mircea_popescu: is this the guy that's married to the beached whale spiritualist ?
Adlai: this is the only instance i've found of somebody claiming to pull this off properly, and then return to "normal" just for convenience
mircea_popescu: if normalcy is convenient then wtf was he doing anyway
mircea_popescu: "Erin Pavlina is a highly gifted intuitive counselor who connects with your spirit guides to provide you information and insights that will help you on your path. "
Adlai: look at their domains. they get divorced and cut the house in half?
mircea_popescu: i knew a number of chicks that got divorced while owning a one room apartment with hubby, so put a curtain down the middle.
BingoBoingo: Imagine if the only room was the bathroon!
mircea_popescu: there's this ancient tradition among german tribes transplanted in transylvania, that a couple may only divorce after having spent a day in a tiny hut with a single plate, spoon, stool etc.
Adlai: how about a couple may only get married after spending two weeks in that hut
mircea_popescu: no because they'll fuck in any case after which the guy won't marry.
BingoBoingo: So how is this vacation going? Still growing tits?
BingoBoingo: Ah, we have that here. Or at least a fascimile of it. Hard to tell here.
mircea_popescu: im having my own version tho. no whipped cream. all home made.
mircea_popescu: homemade cakes are one of those religious experiences that put the innocent at risk of fundamentally altering their life. a steak gets ruined through the industrial process, of course, but somehow not quite to the degree
mircea_popescu: cakes made by machines however... they're not really cakes.
mircea_popescu: just the margerine alone. it's like instead of exanguinating the beast, you'd replace its blood with brake fluid, then butcher it.
BingoBoingo: OMG Great idea, but instead of brake fluid... Wine transfusion for the cow before steaking it.
mircea_popescu: a good six gallons of middling burgundy should do the trick.
mircea_popescu: i guess if we ever make the bitcoin ranch it's getting tried.
BingoBoingo: I mean alternately instead of beering up the cows like the Japanese do, it might be worth raising some seriously alcoholic cows.

mircea_popescu: the main reason herbivore meat is so good (and we don't eat cat) is that its liver is so big and its diet so simple that the meat becomes very narrow, chemically

grubles: he clearly doesnt follow his own rules
mike_c: well, but what's the problem? Clearly you didn't sign it.
grubles: and yet it was still a valid contract, for some reason.
mike_c: or at least, i'm taking your word since i didn't check the two signatures to see if one of them was yours.
grubles: "Should BitVPS fail to execute this Agreement, as for instance by but not limited to breaching 2.2.e above, MPEX will notify the named individuals of their breach and may, at its sole discretion, suspend BitVPS from trading thus activating the liquidation of BitVPS. "

grubles: timing? no particular reason.

grubles: a couple people and i were discussing rg and bitvps
mike_c: what's the specific beef? you don't think it should have been listed or delisted?
grubles: shouldnt have. because both of them went behind my back to list bitvps on mpoe.
grubles: if the web archive link isnt evidence enough
grubles: anyway. like i said: food for thought.
Anduck: apparently a company being listed at mpex without owners of the company agreeing on listing it
Anduck: so, a company listed without permission
Anduck: nope- read the bitvps agreement
jborkl: Or w/e you do wherever you are
Anduck: S.BVPS was listed on MPEx on April the 12th, 2012, under the ownership signature of rg, then as of now one of the best trusted WoT members. It began trading on the 15th that same month, with a total market capitalisation of about 3`000 BTC.
Anduck: it _shouldnt ever been listed_ since it was never agreed on
danielpbarron: well the signature(s) on that page are not formatted correctly, or at least I can't figure out how to validate them
Anduck: anyway it's missing a really important one, owner of bitvps'
mike_c: well, it was agreed on by rg
mike_c: "WHEREAS, the aforenamed James "rg" Edward was delegated to represent the Board of Directors of BitVPS" << you're saying this is untrue?
Anduck: ...to mention people, say in the contract that the signatures will make it valid, then there's 1 signature missing, they still let it on the exchange and it's being traded.
Anduck: kakobrekla: since 2011
Anduck: it's irrelevant anyway
kakobrekla: well its not, if i do a runner now, is it mps fault too ?
mike_c: it shouldn't have mentioned grubles' key if he wasn't going to sign it. but the contract says rg was talking for the board, so his was the only "required" signature.
Anduck: i only read what you said after a comma
Anduck: mike_c: no, both were required
mike_c: "WHEREAS, the aforenamed James "rg" Edward was delegated to represent the Board of Directors of BitVPS"
Anduck: when rg didnt own bitvps?
mike_c: you don't have to get signatures from every person involved with a company to execute a contract with that company.
Anduck: delegated by the contract that wasn't signed by bitvps real owner?
Anduck: just read the contract now
Anduck: funny how mircea_popescu let this happen
Anduck: i'm not surprised. i still remember the "you sent 10btc late to bitbet, now it's ours because faq says it's ours now"
☟︎ kakobrekla: its ours cause the private key says so.
mike_c: omg, ok, i just lost all interest in this conversation.
Anduck: can coinbase now declare all the people-deposit bitcoins as theirs because they own the private keys?
Anduck: that's FUCKING LAME, kakobrekla!
Anduck: can't beieve bitbet is now at this level :D
kakobrekla: idk if you know how the bitcoin works.
Anduck: i know what's stealing at least

Anduck: thanks for fullfilling my request HEH xD
jurov: grubles how should mircea know rg is acting in bad faith? did you raise your voice then?
jurov: and what about later listing on btctct, was that okay?
Anduck: to mmy knowledge they all knew what they were doing
danielpbarron will wait to see if there is a valid signature block before passing judgement
Anduck: rg and mircea knew they were going against grubles
Anduck: but because, you know, if you have money you can make your own rules.. you can bend them too..
Anduck: this is what this is as i see it.
jurov: but then the mess is going on, because Namworld bought most of the shares
jurov: and took over with arij and whatwas his name
Anduck: just like the stealing of 10 btc by bitbet.. owners of bitbet now claim "we own the private key that corresponds to the public key the money was stent, therefore money is now ours" if i understood kakos sentence correctly
Anduck: jurov: i don't know about that.
Anduck: i only know that bitvps was listed against bitvps owners will to mp
kakobrekla: Anduck by your idiotic definition of stealing, bitbet 'stole' way more than 10 btc.
jurov: ic, nobody knows anything, they just occassionally come to chan, stir shit up and leave
Anduck: jurov: that is not relevant to this case :)
jborkl: Anduck, what prompted this? Is there something prompting this
kakobrekla: its all in public monthly records Anduck.
cazalla: <Anduck> i'm not surprised. i still remember the "you sent 10btc late to bitbet, now it's ours because faq says it's ours now" <<< fuck angle shooters, they deserve what they get
Anduck: jborkl: you can ask grubles about the details of this
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 6000 @ 0.00067061 = 4.0237 BTC [-]
kakobrekla: jurov vote with your wot, what can i say.
Anduck: jborkl: he most likely can give you more accurate answers than i can. i don't know about this case
Anduck: and i see a contract that wasn't signed completely and still was accepted by mircea popescu to be listed on mpex
jurov: i just few days ago asked arij why he does not advertise bitvps on this chan openly
Anduck: cazalla: well, it's still stealing even if they deserve it
cazalla: Anduck, right because theft is when someone willingly sends you something
cazalla: one can imagine all the wasted time refunding angle shooters if such a policy wasn't in place
Anduck: jurov: that is about mpex. this what i am talking about isn't about mpex. it's about bitbet.us
Anduck: could coinbase now just take all the bitcoins and leave?
Anduck: stating that they own the private keys so they own the bitcoins
Anduck: and it would be perfectly fine and legal?
Anduck: people sent the bitcoins there at their own will, nobody forced them to
cazalla: well, don't they already do that when cancelling orders not in their favour
jurov: coinbase 1) does not have such provision in their terms of service
cazalla: not really the same thing anyway
jurov: 2) is not placed in jurosdiction that allows for it
Anduck: romanian laws don't allow stealing
Anduck: EUROPEAN laws don't allow stealing
Anduck: when did FAQ become "terms of service"?
jurov: apparently in serenissima jurisdiction it does
cazalla: Anduck, what would be your solution?
kakobrekla: Anduck bitcoin is not a credit card, you dont 'pull' stuff from it, you 'push'. if someone pushes 100$ bill in your postbox, did you steal from him?
Anduck: kakobrekla: can coinbase just flee away with the user-deposited funds because they own the private keys?
Anduck: cazalla: i'd be sane and refund it
cazalla: Anduck, imagine worst thing that could happen is that my bet is refunded in full.. well, why not bet on every known outcome and see if some slip past the goalie
Anduck: kakobrekla: do you think it would be good way to do it?
Anduck: cazalla: indeed - make the refund automatic then
kakobrekla: and someone pushes 1000000 1 dollar bills
Anduck: you don't apparently want to understand what i am saying.
Anduck: but itä's fine, it's as i expected
kakobrekla: no, you dont understand how btc works.
danielpbarron: when is bitbet going to start accepting redditnote?
kakobrekla: now shoo, go be stupid in some other chan.

Elio19: Thanks for the voice, but honestly i think the chan was better off before. The reason is: It's nearly Christmas. And, im grinch.
Anduck: danielpbarron: verified that the contract needs grubles signature to be valid and the said signature is missing?
danielpbarron: anyone can produce a doctored gpg contract and say it wasn't signed right
Anduck: this one was published at mpex. are you saying mpex has edited it after signing?
danielpbarron: does it matter where the invalid signature is found?
kakobrekla: not only bitcoin, he doesnt understand how the internets works.
Anduck: just answer me and do do ad hominem shit
danielpbarron: and this clearsigning of clearsigned stuff can get a bit complicated
Anduck: danielpbarron: well, let me know when you've parsed it so you can verify that the signature isn't there, making the contract not valid
☟︎ danielpbarron: i can't verify that such a signature doesn't exist
kakobrekla: seems like lukejr type of braindamage where the hw has issues, not only sw.
Anduck: kakobrekla: do you have something you want to tell me about this or why do you keep talking/shouting to me?
Anduck: if you have nothing to contribute, you don't need to type anything here... k?
Anduck: that may very well be so, could i just not discuss this matter with danielpbarron in peace without your childish interruptions?
kakobrekla: we are playing with you like a retarded kitty before you run off to get hit by a car.
Anduck: danielpbarron: well, i am not talking about "gpg verifying", i am talking about verifying.
Anduck: well, can you _check_ that the said signature isn't there?
Anduck: if you can't do that, can you verify the signature and sign the verification to me.
Anduck: danielpbarron: if you fail to do that signing and verification, it is evidence of that the said signature -does not exist-
Anduck: which means that mircea popescu is a con man
Anduck: prove me wrong, danielpbarron
mike_c: <+Anduck> if you have nothing to contribute, you don't need to type anything here... k? << have you been in this channel before?
☟︎ danielpbarron: Anduck, you are saying such nonsense right now i'm at a loss for words
Anduck: pls no derailing this time
Anduck: danielpbarron: ok. what part is unclear?
Anduck: so you're unable to verify the grubles' signature and sign this verification for me?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AMHASH3] 4150 @ 0.0012 = 4.98 BTC
Anduck: i agree on you both: i don't understand gpg, life or bitcoin. let's be done with that ok?
danielpbarron: it is impossible to prove the absence of X, whether it be gpg signatures, or God
Anduck: now let's discuss whether grubles signature (which would be needed to make the contract discussed earlier, valid) is not in place
Anduck: danielpbarron: alright.
Anduck: this means that the contract is not valid.
Anduck: there's no signature which would make it valid.
danielpbarron: i may not have the signature, but me not having it does not prove that it cannot be had
kakobrekla: no, it just means you are incredibly retarded.
Anduck: even if someone had signed it and made it valid, it's not public, making it not valid for all of us. as shown by mpex
Anduck: danielpbarron: well, mpex doesn't have it apparently. or if they do have, they hide it
danielpbarron: but whoever cares probably still has a copy of the contract somewhere
Anduck: it should be public to show that the contract is valid
Anduck: danielpbarron: the copy is at the mpex.
Anduck: and it's missing the signature.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AMHASH3] 4150 @ 0.0012 = 4.98 BTC
Anduck: grubles said he never signed it.
Anduck: mpex can't prove it was signed, either
Anduck: well, grubles says he did not sign it
danielpbarron: maybe it is signed and mp comes later and shows us
Anduck: if mpex can show the signature, it's all fine.
Anduck: but as long as they can't, it's not fine
danielpbarron: and even if he doesn't, i'm not sure it would even matter
Anduck: well, it would only make mpex corrupted
Anduck: danielpbarron: so what happened before at mpex isn't relevant?
danielpbarron: if nobody can find the signature, that still doesn't prove it never existed
kakobrekla: im getting ban requests here but srsly, wot - make it work.
Anduck: kakobrekla: who would you like to ban and what for?
Anduck: it's funny how the defences work.
Anduck: sorry i lied, it's not funny. it's sad
Anduck: danielpbarron: probably.

Anduck: grubles has mentioned it when it happened.
Anduck: he has mentioned it after that
Anduck: and he has mentioned it today too
Anduck: but it's all irrelevant
Anduck: it's not about whether grubles mentioned it or not. it's about that the signature -is missing- from the contract
Anduck: grubles says he never signed it
Anduck: what does this tell you about mpex?
Anduck: it tells that i am trolling and should be devoiced immediately?
punkman: it tells me grubles is a young boi and can't business
Anduck: punkman: because he didn't sign a contract and the contract was still accepted as valid?

Anduck: punkman: it was incorporated by grubles only.
Anduck: rg could've been part of it, though. i am still not aware of all the facts. the point still is that rg alone couldnt have signed the contract - even when the contract states grubles signature is also needed
punkman: anyway, contract says rg is representing bitvps, so his sig is good enough for my fuzzy parser
Anduck: contract says both sigs are needed.
punkman: yes that's what your parser says, no need to repeat ad infinitum
Anduck: ..so how is one sig "good enough" when it says it needs both?
Anduck: don't derail - keep the logs clean :)
