artifexd: mircea_popescu You make me sad. I wanted to believe in NeoBee.
VanCleef: that was your first mistake
mircea_popescu: yeah generally a pragmatic approach works better. there are more things we want to believe in than can be done.
psterryl: so people are saying neobee is a scam now?
VanCleef: yeah its official
mircea_popescu: just poorly managed.
bounce: but, I like that poster!
psterryl: how is it official vancleef?
psterryl: since there's been no official statement
psterryl: seems like rumour to me
psterryl: until someone points to some legit evidence or a statement from LMB/neo/danny
mircea_popescu: psterryl what's your reasoning process here ?
psterryl: my reasoning is evidence based
psterryl: without evidence either way
mircea_popescu: i mean specifically in this deduction :
mircea_popescu: <psterryl> so people are saying neobee is a scam now?
mircea_popescu: <VanCleef> yeah its official <psterryl> until someone points to some legit evidence or a statement from LMB/neo/danny
psterryl: it's impossible to call it one way or the other
mircea_popescu: no, this is neither reasonable nor novel material.
mircea_popescu: it's been covered to death why " it's impossible to call it one way or the other" doesn't work and doesn't hold, over the years
mircea_popescu: you'll have to refer to the logs.
psterryl: i'm just talking from my own personal viewpoint
psterryl: everyone is entitled to their own opinions/deductions
psterryl: i like to be shown conclusive proof
psterryl: rather than get caught up in internet chinese whispers
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 35 @ 0.06730513 = 2.3557 BTC [-] {5}
mircea_popescu: no, everyone is not entitled to their own personal viewpoint.
psterryl: oh ok
mircea_popescu: the path is 1) you prove you're able to think ; 2) you're entitled to your own viewpoint.
psterryl: so everyone is entitled to the mircea approved viewpoint?
mircea_popescu: so far you're short 1.
psterryl: well, my 1st class university degree should suggest i'm ok for #1
mircea_popescu: but there is such a thing as an examen de maturite which keeps the children away from human society.
psterryl: but you're just some random guy on the internet
mircea_popescu: you may not suggest that. i have to suggest it, when you're talking to me,
bounce: eh, opinions are like assholes. everyone's got one. whether they matter is something else entirely.
psterryl: so it's not like i have to prove anything to you
psterryl: ok cool
psterryl: well
mircea_popescu: and generally everyone else, when you're talking to them.
psterryl: in that cuse
cazalla: popcorn.gif
psterryl: as of this moment, i'm officially talking to everyone in this channel apart from you
psterryl: so you dont need to worry
cbr: *clap clap clap clap*
ThickAsThieves: statistically, ignoring mp is ignoring like half its content
ThickAsThieves: (the channel's)
punkman1: psterryl: congratulations, you've removed all doubt
psterryl: yeah im new on here so still working out who is insightful and who's just a dick
ozbot: #bitcoin-assets stats
psterryl: at first i thought mp was the former but starting to think latter
chetty: here the dick is the insightful
artifexd: Those qualities are not mutually exclusive.
psterryl: i think that says a lot about the bitcoin community
psterryl: oh wow vancleef
psterryl: such insight
psterryl: many revelation
ThickAsThieves: also "mean" and "dick" are emotional observations
ThickAsThieves: not quite applicable to substance
mircea_popescu: VanCleef i thought the freudian/jungian approach was poo = moneys.
VanCleef: that would be good
VanCleef: i had to check my pants before when i woke up
ThickAsThieves: the life a monkey!
psterryl: true but when someone makes a blanket statement that not everyone is entitled to their own opinion
psterryl: it suddenly becomes much harder to take them seriously
psterryl: even idiots are entited to an opinion
psterryl: it might be subjectively wrong in my eyes
psterryl: but doesnt mean they're not entiteld to it
ThickAsThieves: did you bother asking why?
ThickAsThieves: maybe he has logic behind his claims
ThickAsThieves: you never felt like some people's opinion's dont deserve the weight they carry
psterryl: of course
psterryl: but they're still entitled to that opinion
psterryl: despite my personal views of it
ThickAsThieves: or like the people that are most likely to say "everyone is entitled to their own opinion" are the least likely to have opinions worth considering?
psterryl: well
psterryl: that may be your opinion
ThickAsThieves: it's customer-is-always-right syndrome
psterryl: and you're totally entitled to it
psterryl: but i personally disagree
ThickAsThieves: maybe the issue mp has is with entitlement itself
ThickAsThieves: not the craziest thing to challenge
VanCleef: anyone have a youtube vid of a robot that's better than asimo?
psterryl: that's a possibility
psterryl: but saying that someone has to prove their intelligence before they're allowed an opinion
psterryl: seems like a fairly entitled stance
psterryl: so maybe it's a self-loathing issue
ThickAsThieves: if you think mp is self-loathing, you have not read much from him
psterryl: like i said i'm new here
VanCleef: stocks are like women....once they lose their value you dump them
ThickAsThieves: VanCleef, in that example, isnt better to dump them before they lose value?
VanCleef: yes but like with women investors get emotionally involved and dont know when to let go
VanCleef: this is the problem psterryl is having with neobee atm
ThickAsThieves: a bit of a generalization, but i hear ya
pankkake: I thought the limit for women was clear, dump when the age doesn't end in teen
psterryl: and sometimes people bring a relationship back from the rocks and go on to have long and fulfilling times together
mircea_popescu: why not just dump them when they get annoying, age-irrespective ?
pankkake: wait there are non-annoying women?!
pankkake: that didn't use to be a man?
mircea_popescu: see, if you dump them when they get 20 you're stuck with a bunch of annoying teens
mircea_popescu: if you dump them when they get annoying you're stuck with a bunch of pleasant women.
chetty: hey there are a lot of non-annoying women
ThickAsThieves: maybe you need to write a how to pick up chicks worth picking up blog
mircea_popescu: chetty dated a lot of em ?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves that's simple, "have your girls recommend"
ThickAsThieves: my girls?
ThickAsThieves: like exes?
mircea_popescu: no, because as per previous exes are annoying
mircea_popescu: well slaves if you keep slaves, girlfriends, w/e you got
mircea_popescu: lol mom. not mom, it works better if you've been intimate. what's urmom know.
ThickAsThieves: so ask your gf to recommend a new gf?
mircea_popescu: then again... deep south... maybe i shouldn't assume
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves definitely.
VanCleef: "how to pick up chicks by not talking about bitcoin"
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 6850 @ 0.00094435 = 6.4688 BTC [+]
ThickAsThieves: "I'm sorry baby, it's just not working out. Got any referrals?"
mircea_popescu: well you can't dump her
mircea_popescu: she's not being annoying is she.
ThickAsThieves: you gotta hold our collective hand a little hear
ThickAsThieves: cant find the thread
mircea_popescu: i am more than willing to continue answering q's.
mircea_popescu: tis not annoying or anything :D
ThickAsThieves: i'll rephrase
ThickAsThieves: shooting in the dark is annoying too
ThickAsThieves: so far it seems you want a man to ask his not-annoying gf for recommendations
chetty: where is your sense of adventure?
mircea_popescu: it's unlikely a single girl can do much for oyu.
ThickAsThieves: so we need to rewind to where you suggest a man generally keep multiple gfs
mircea_popescu: a man does generally keep multiple gfs.
[KS]: Hi all - you guys are golden. Asssets/scams/2c psychology/women advice etc :) (back to lurking)
ThickAsThieves: the kind he fucks?
ThickAsThieves: or the kind he'll talk to?
mircea_popescu: [KS] hugs and kisses to you too
Diablo-D3 has kept multiple gfs.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves yes the kind he fucks.
ThickAsThieves: anytime i've attempted as much it felt more like being a triple agent than anything
mircea_popescu: this "lifetime monogamy" thing is a very narrow edge case of human sexual and intimate practice.
mircea_popescu: both historical and geographical.
ThickAsThieves: the more they know about each other the more crazy they behave
mircea_popescu: if they do dump em.
mircea_popescu: as per annoying rule.
ThickAsThieves: so simple!
mircea_popescu: turns out red wire was there all along :)
ThickAsThieves: and should man tolerate the reverse?
mircea_popescu: up to him.
ThickAsThieves: whether ity annoys him
ThickAsThieves: still works i guess
mircea_popescu: btw, quick question : einstein had a) no girlfriend ; b) one girlfriend c) two girlfriends or d) thirteen girlfriends.
ThickAsThieves: i'm going with intelligence is a burden
ThickAsThieves: "Albert Einstein had half a dozen girlfriends and told his wife they showered him with "unwanted" affection, according to letters released "
Diablo-D3: #smartpeopleproblems
ThickAsThieves: he married his cousin too
Diablo-D3: second cousin
kakobrekla: did he also eat the neighbors dog?
kakobrekla: smart people problems.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla no, but reports show he occasionally ate the neighbour's bitch.
kakobrekla: you bitch.
mircea_popescu: now to fully establish the other extreme, since nobody seems inclined, we return to scriptae :
mircea_popescu: It's unfair to quote a 5 year old article but if Alone still believes _that_ analysis has validity...he's missed the forest of leeching for the victimized and disinterested trees. Many women invest their entire lives in what amounts to brazen fraud conducted and perfected to "catch" a guy who is then trapped with no idea how cruelly he's been setup.
mircea_popescu: Guys lose interest. And women, who hated sex remember (they're not that type of girl), suddenly give the con away. It boils down to this; what are they bringing to the party?
mircea_popescu: Emotional poison, lies, some shitty repetitive sex (I'll be more romantic when those who believe in the lie that is exclusivity eat the same meal for the rest of their lives), surrogate services, shitty cooking...It doesn't matter that I'm grossly making crude generalizations. I'm right.
mircea_popescu: And the market agrees with me. Alone missed it. Porn is a better product. If girls want to compete maybe they should get real? Virtual honesty v Virtual Deceit? This is economics. No need for hysterics or water works or expressed feelings. Awwh.
mircea_popescu: now THIS is self loathing.
ThickAsThieves: written by a woman?
ozbot: The Last Psychiatrist: The Second Story Of Echo And Narcissus
mircea_popescu: some guy presumably.
ThickAsThieves: or so he'd like us to believe
mircea_popescu: i'll give this much credit to the entire progressive movement : while in the 50s there in fact existed schools and other torture implements dedicated to reforming otherwise decent, healthy and loving human beings into the sort of very sad victims of abuse described there,
mircea_popescu: it's rare now.
mircea_popescu: so rare that extant examples are almost fascinating for reason of that rarity.
ThickAsThieves: i imagine dating in your 30s in 40s these days is pretty much all online websites now?
chetty: huh? Looks like more of those schools out there, just different rules
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves betas shower the websites, alphas let the girls suggest girls for the club.
mircea_popescu: chetty how you mean ?
mircea_popescu: and in completely different yet very related news, "The problem, as the president explained it, is that Putin doesn’t understand how the world is supposed to work"
ThickAsThieves: projection?
mircea_popescu: inching along towards the "putin doesn't give a shit about the way i think the world should work"
chetty: wiht 'leaders' like that no wonder world is such a mess
mircea_popescu: after which, "putin is satan"

ThickAsThieves: how will we protect ATC from such a fate?
mircea_popescu: this is a pretty good q.
kakobrekla: merged mining with btc :(
mircea_popescu: my own thinking is that if we keep a reasonable floor under it it'll never be productive
ThickAsThieves: i dont think it could be protected really
mircea_popescu: in general the best way to reduce irrational behaviour is to control volatility.
mircea_popescu: kinda the original thinking behind central banks at any rate
ThickAsThieves: all it would take is one btc farm to point at it
kakobrekla: go ahead and try to attack 'nmc'
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves yes, but why would they ? not worth it.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla what about it ?
kakobrekla: well, its much much harder than atc
ThickAsThieves: so basically we cant let it bubble either
ThickAsThieves: or itll draw attention
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves indeed. this baby will do a bunch if firsts.
mircea_popescu: first altcoin not premined, first altcoin not allowed to bubble, etc.
ThickAsThieves: time for the Altcoin Central Bank to make a trading bot
mircea_popescu: i thought that's why i wrote bingoboingo.
kakobrekla: how can you 'not allow' it to bubble
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla by selling.
ThickAsThieves: large holders need to give it up when it's time
kakobrekla: you cant sell enough if the things wants to bubble
ThickAsThieves: a new floor might be reached in the process
ThickAsThieves: but trying alone will help
mircea_popescu: economy may be a social science, but finance is totally an art.
kakobrekla: its math, i dont need to try you
mircea_popescu: math is only the bus ticket taking you to the concert.
ThickAsThieves: "SchellingCoin: A Minimal-Trust Universal Data Feed"
kakobrekla: thats fine, i hate concerts.
mircea_popescu: it's gotten to where i can no longer discern parody from reality.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves you made that shit up baby ?
ThickAsThieves: ive said as much before, for years
ThickAsThieves: or are you asking me about SchellingCoin?
ThickAsThieves: it's a fukn Ethereum thing
ThickAsThieves: i cant look at any one line without pain
ThickAsThieves: "The main idea here is called “hedging”, and is best explained in the context of Bitcoin"
mircea_popescu: the schelling i was asking about yea
ThickAsThieves: freeze the maths!
kakobrekla: dafuq
mircea_popescu: aaahahahaa
kakobrekla: A court in Fort Worth, Texas, has granted a temporary restraining order to freeze the bitcoin wallets of ASIC mining hardware manufacturer HashFast Technologies LLC and HashFast LLC, after a customer claimed it failed to deliver hardware on time or negotiate a refund.
ThickAsThieves: “It speaks to the legitimacy of cryptocurrencies and a growing understanding of their value and importance to businesses.”
ThickAsThieves: the pains
mircea_popescu: The complaint, which has a Background section with the question “What the heck is a Bitcoin?” also contains an attachment of 30 pages of bitcointalk forum discussion detailing the history of the story from July-August 2013.
mircea_popescu: ok, i guess it's announcement time : mpex will not be honoring the forth worth court order, or any similar instrument drawn by any court.
kakobrekla: why so quick to jump the gun on this while bfl can shit in peoples mouth for years now
mircea_popescu: any bitcoins received as specified by mpex will be fully credited to the depositor in any and all circumstances.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [SFI] 830 @ 0.00084575 = 0.702 BTC [-] {6}

mircea_popescu: amusingly enough...
ThickAsThieves: would it be fair to stop assigning a USD value in cases of stolen coins?
ThickAsThieves: 1 btc = 1btc
ThickAsThieves: what is owed is 1 btc
mircea_popescu: in this court, yes.
mircea_popescu: in a fiat court, never.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, but i would imagine a better adjusted thing may be developed.
mircea_popescu: i mean, marine radar is not biased for concrete say
asciilifeform: i vaguely recall that a recent mercedes has radar of some form

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, you polarize the lasers, you use modulated radar, there's solutions
asciilifeform: then you get folks who go 'well, if we're already broadcasting, let's make exact position radio mandatory, like lights'
kakobrekla: mux it to lower band rate?
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla exactly!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah well, the perennial possibility of idiots does not really constitute a counterargument.
mircea_popescu: i never hear anyone propose abstinence on the grounds that fucking may become obligatory otherwise.
mircea_popescu: and yet it has!
tg2: I had one idea for a car invention
asciilifeform: anyone recall the widget the americans used in vietnam, that picked up rf noise from cars?
tg2: Proximity sensors on the end of your doors and hydraulic inhibitors on the door hinges
tg2: So your door doesn't open into somebody's car
tg2: it would stop just before
asciilifeform: tg2: that, or rubber bumpers.
mircea_popescu: rubber bumps sounds cheaperr
tg2: Nope this is sans contact

mircea_popescu: if anyone's seen cars in like rome etc... the even cheaper alternative would be "people stop giving a shit about scratches"
tg2: Not putting rubber door bumpers on my 150,000 merc
mircea_popescu: latin america is like that too
asciilifeform: i've always thought it odd, that no one, lambo or trambo, makes a car with standardized panels for the outside

asciilifeform: they needn't be flat and rigid

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually even since the japanese have been working on their female android women replacements, i've been thinking "they'll make cars out of that skin material just as soon as possible"

mircea_popescu: kitchen robots were nothing.
moiety is happy with a toaster, you know this ;P
mircea_popescu: "even a blind toaster can pinch a careless nipple", or how did that russian proverb go
asciilifeform: 'Social skills will decline markedly after the advent of sex robots, much like the way electronic calculators degraded arithmetic skills. Because sex robots will finally allow men to be themselves. This will make men even less desirable to real women than they are already, driving men to seek solace with sex robots even more. The cycle will be vicious and I can’t wait for it to start.'
moiety: lolololol
moiety: i dont know any russian proverbs unless manuls are involved
mircea_popescu: i dunno about that, tbh. if anything, it'll remove a lot of pressure to perform from the mishoden, dysfunctional male humans, which'll make it so much better for the healthy.
asciilifeform: 'Some women might, however, choose to coexist with sexbots, just as some European women as they get older tolerate their husbands taking up with younger mistresses. The aging wife gets to keep her status and her stable home. She has all the trappings of marriage, but she no longer functions as her husband’s sexual outlet.'
mircea_popescu: take sports : a sport that's popular is annoying because all the inept idiots insist to play it.

asciilifeform: 'It’s interesting to consider which gender’s ideal can be realized first with technology.

If every woman looked similarly good, and behaved as adoringly toward the average working stiff, they would still look good. (A man can test this hypothesis by viewing photographs of thousands of attractive women. Even after massive, pervasive exposure, they still look good. In fact, pornography can be un

assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM100] 318 @ 0.006499 = 2.0667 BTC [-]
kakobrekla: lesson no1. never ever reboot the server.
mircea_popescu: servers that are rebooted are not really the same servers anymore.
mircea_popescu: anyway, let the log reflect the new coinage "unplanned maintenance reboot".
mircea_popescu: "shit joe, reboot it see if it works then"
mircea_popescu: the power cycle that's intentional but unexpected.
asciilifeform: this happens every few years at nfs corp. but i really love that hoster
lnovy: you can fix everything with reboot... from stucked mouse to mysql table corruption...
asciilifeform: i don't think it gets any cheaper for low-traffic crap
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform im sure it's perfectly fine for hosting a blog etc.

mircea_popescu: i didn't torch the place in revenge, either.
jurov: what did you do there?
mircea_popescu: what one normally does in a club. drank and yelled at people.
mircea_popescu: what do you want me to do, dance ?!
jurov: lol i was not asking that in accusatory manner
tg2: sneaky knc
tg2: can't say I blame them tho
tg2: I got thrown out of a club once with a $8000 tab
tg2: I just went home
tg2: lol
tg2: chepest night in a club so far
tg2: the promoter called me back for 2 weeks after crying and begging me to come back
mircea_popescu: they're too noobish around here to actualy have promoters.
tg2: montreal has a huge club scene
tg2: probably more clubs per capita than anywhere I know
mircea_popescu: timisoara is roughly speaking a smaller akron, ohio.
tg2: sounds.... exciting
tg2: lol
mircea_popescu: well let's put it this way... in an actual town ever working class cunts can have fun.
mircea_popescu: it takes a real hellhole to really select the funhavers.
tg2: your women look very slavic
tg2: is romania even considered slavic?
tg2: I know that ukrain, serbia bulgaria are
asciilifeform: Ro has, what, 5+ ethnic groups ?
tg2: (oops, i mean... southeastern russia, lol)
tg2: but, all sides of it are slavic...
mircea_popescu: it's ~85% romanian, some hungarian, trace other dozen or so elements
mircea_popescu: i have no idea how you figure those women look "Slavic"
tg2: only by hungary is it not slavic
tg2: cheek structure
asciilifeform: the gypsies (any left in Ro?) aren't the least bit slavic
tg2: high pointy cheeks
tg2: lol gypsies
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform some, yeah. a mil or so.
mircea_popescu: for one thing, "slavic" would be blonde.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'll bbl we can continue teh racism then.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: servers that are rebooted are not really the same servers anymore << i bet i'm not the only one who wonders why kernel-in-ROM never caught on
asciilifeform: (naturally, rom with physical switch for write-enable)
asciilifeform: one reason might be that pc architecture, almost always by default, 'shadows' roms
asciilifeform: that is, copies them to cacheable RAM on boot
asciilifeform: (executing from rom, esp. the 'serial' 8-legged variety, is dog-slow)
jurov: i bought such mobo with dual bios
jurov: but never actually tried it
jurov: ( gigabyte )
asciilifeform: typically these have a toggle that moves the clock/data line from 1 serial rom to another
asciilifeform: for recovering from botched flashes.
asciilifeform: these used to be popular in the wake of the '90s 'chernoble' virus
asciilifeform: but have mostly disappeared
asciilifeform: any serious pc user should own a rom burner anyway
asciilifeform: chinese units are 20-50 usd
jurov: one usually does it once in 5 years... not sure if it's worth the occupied space
asciilifeform: space?! they're pocket-sized
asciilifeform: or you meant, on the board
jurov: yes i meant... hundred pocket sized gizmos to be used once in 5 yrs + cables = several boxen labeled shit and "more shit"
jurov: it's annoying
truffles: yay shit
asciilifeform: a box with zapped rom is considerably more annoying, imho
asciilifeform: if buying a rom burner, helps to get the kind that takes SOIC-8 socket adapters, for laptop flash
cads: hey has anyone hear if something bad is happening with auroracoin?

kanzure: tg2: technically no, webkigtk+ requires X unless you find a way to get gtk running without x.. there used to be a way with cairo but nobody seems to care anymore.
kanzure: tg2: however, running X headlessly is not hugely problematic these days because of xserver-xorg-video-dummy
kanzure: tg2: and i would say the advantages of running modern webkit far outweigh the troubles with running X... you get Function.prototype.bind :)
kanzure: even when phantomjs2 comes out in the next few months i would recommend caution because the dependency on qtwebki from a qt release means that you're waiting multiple months for bugfixes to get into phantomjs (so far webkit updates are so far behind it's sad)
kanzure: e.g. it's not just qtwebkit but it's a qt-release that includes a release of qtwebkit which includes a release of webkit. but the real thing you care about is webkit!
