ben_vulpes: how does the ipud figure into this?
ben_vulpes: yes yes
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: they have their place. i find it convenient to have tests when rewriting large swaths of a thing either i've written: with the behavior codified, i don't have to manually poke at the thing to ensure that it still behaves the way it did before i tore it apart and put it back together.

ben_vulpes has just rediscovered that gpg doesn't handle filename wildcards gracefully or at all
ben_vulpes: mod6: why does it fail with versions under 5.12?
ben_vulpes: right you are, punkman.
ben_vulpes: --batch --verify it is then, shitgnomes.
ben_vulpes: thank you punkman
ben_vulpes rubs face
ben_vulpes: go, `mkdir /tmp/badsigs/; touch /tmp/badsigs/{1,2,3}.sig; gpg --verify-files /tmp/badsigs/*`

ben_vulpes: punkman: i know about --batch, but this --verify-files flag in the man pages seems to not work. at all.
ben_vulpes: has anyone ever used --verify-files with gpg successfully?
ben_vulpes has been waiting for this particular old tomato for some time
ben_vulpes: dafuq do you breathe, anyways.
ben_vulpes: but then the money's not in the bank anymore!
ben_vulpes: go, complete.
ben_vulpes: !up ascii_field
ben_vulpes: there's an old thread around the shop: "ain't nobody motivated by money in the bank"
ben_vulpes: doesn't necessarily mean it's -ev to advertise, just that someone else is deriving value from your media buys as well.
ben_vulpes: so you've captured the value. bitcoin survives, and you benefit from its survival. so do other people, but when you advertise you also pay for people to learn about the solutionspace in general, including your competition.
ben_vulpes: what is the value of a put on facebook expiring 5 years from now?
ben_vulpes: while noble, i do not see much turkey-buying value in pogoquest.
ben_vulpes: ascii_field: 'value of ideas'?
ben_vulpes: no i know. but i'm asking you another question of value.
ben_vulpes: ascii_field: what's more valuable: a honed and tidied 'v' implementation or several different implementations from wotmembers?

ben_vulpes: "ah fuckit, get out of my way, i'll do it in a tenth the time and it'll be twice as good."

ben_vulpes: in the sense of grown to be eaten?
ben_vulpes: not in the slightest.
ben_vulpes: !up ascii_field
ben_vulpes: !t m s.qntr
ben_vulpes: !t m s.nsa
ben_vulpes: !t s.nsa
ben_vulpes: ascii_field: I don't follow. again, as though I were five?
ben_vulpes: then then then
ben_vulpes: are you then asking what the value of 'v' is to me, then?
ben_vulpes: well, what is the value of bitcoin?
ben_vulpes: possibly unvaluable and invaluable
ben_vulpes: ascii_field: any "v", your "v" or "v" in the abstract?
ben_vulpes: ascii_field: don't mind me, i'm just trying to learn the violin.
ben_vulpes fails to find the logline wherein asciilifeform claims that common lisp packages "tend to work unlike in other languages"
ben_vulpes: aha libgpg-error i guess, derp.
ben_vulpes: phf: where's a sane place from which to procure gpg-error? i've found some text files scattered about the web but nothing in the gpgme lang/cl dir
ben_vulpes: and googOS?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: for log readers only, this confession.
ben_vulpes: do consider the improvement in the serf's quality of life when biking (or walking!) thirty minutes to and fro the galley each day, compared to the hour in the wheelbox each direction that can be had in other places, composed with the shorter work week that is possible.
ben_vulpes: this provides for some small amount of thinking time.
ben_vulpes: culture out here is such that you can skirt by for ~30/wk and a relatively cheap commute, with no "lifetime commitment".
ben_vulpes: if you want intros to indenturitude, i can provide this as well.
ben_vulpes: if i find anything, i'll let you know
ben_vulpes is unsure if this is wankery or pricing exercise
ben_vulpes: it is purpose designed, asciilifeform.
ben_vulpes: !s bezzlecorp
ben_vulpes: port natoblock $thing, sure.
ben_vulpes: also worth mentioning that gracefully handling rapidly shifting requirements is core to how the business operates.
ben_vulpes: much like picking up chixx, it's easier if you have a few in tow already.
ben_vulpes: operating as a corporation rather than an individual has benefits like that.
ben_vulpes: d'you know? i only landed my first of those within the past month.
ben_vulpes: 220V, 3 phase, a poured pad, and nobody would bat an eye if you weather-proofed the ADU.
ben_vulpes: i know your rates, and you could live comfortably out here.
ben_vulpes: oh and shut the fuck up
ben_vulpes: not eager to do it, i misspoke. eager to spend time in our mines rather than wherever they slave normally.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform knows: life in the galleys is marginally less miserable with phri3ndz
ben_vulpes: as it stands, he hates the kind of work my shop does, and i have a list of people who also hate the kind of work that we do but also find the company company so beguiling that they're willing and sometimes even eager to do it anyways.
ben_vulpes: well should i need someone to port eulora to ipad i'll ring him up
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: you're familiar with stan's line about "working on anything not of my own mind is only slightly better than suicide"?
ben_vulpes: i can always cook up work for people to do on my own tooling.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: staff are guaranteed 32 hours/wk, client work backstopped out of my pocket.
ben_vulpes: re technologies, we do mobile in obj-c, swift (i guess theoretically), java, server stuff in python/django/whatever, ruby/rails/whatever, java/clojure/{it's all algol you know}, and actual web stuff in whatever hodgepodge of html/css and js is already in place or pretty well-curated tools that...abstract over the hodgepodge to one degree or another.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: heh.
ben_vulpes: i pay technical staff hourly rates such that should staff choose to work a 35+ hour week, they'd make depending on their value to my org ±10% of a bigcorp salary.
ben_vulpes: "employ" in the states is a peculiar contractual arrangement where the employer agrees to remit taxes on behalf of the employed.
ben_vulpes: various kinds of salaried and hourly employment. yourself?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: myes, although mayhap we talk of different things
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-11-2015#1316544 << the back-and-forth over gpg registration would be entertaining, at least
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: go on...
ben_vulpes: funkenstein_: your ip is leaking
ben_vulpes: i'm still kindastonished the thing never had encrypted connections.
ben_vulpes: eg if you want to run a node for infrastructure, you should -connect it to a synced node -addnode'd to the network at large.
ben_vulpes: i suspect that the operational protocol must be "one node for the network, one node for infrastructure"
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: neat! ganbatte.
ben_vulpes: Namworld: I'm sure you see the problem with statements-in-the-log-as-operating-agreement
ben_vulpes: that's a sane argument
ben_vulpes: so boot 'em
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: how did you get from mocking "omg my packetz" to "omg my packetz"?
ben_vulpes: shrem was out and out breaking the law
ben_vulpes: what precisely is your concern, though? relaying of 3vil t3rrist txns?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: how does shrem relate?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: keep 'em.
ben_vulpes: and that's just 3 questions that should be wrapped up neatly in the operating agreement.
ben_vulpes: like how many non voting shares? how many voting shares? who can issue more shares, and under what conditions?
ben_vulpes: yes, you're all in the wot, so no need for contracts, they're unenforceable anyways. that said, without formalized business relationships, pricing the paper's...complicated.
ben_vulpes: everyone's in the wot (right?) so it should work itself out eventually, but this is an interesting example of how gpgconomy works in contrast to the fiat contracting system.
ben_vulpes: well i'm not but damn this is going to be an expensive price discovery exercise without contracts.
ben_vulpes: oh jeez.
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski has it with the elusive negation
ben_vulpes: Namworld: it's painful to watch people dragging these details out of you. is there a signed operating agreement in place people can look at somewhere?
ben_vulpes: halle berry, yo.
ben_vulpes: very amusing that the thing was released on the eve of 9/11
ben_vulpes: subject of le terror, i rewatched Swordfish last night

ben_vulpes: ahaha wut spike lee thinks he's doing lysistrata
ben_vulpes: ty, pete_dushenski
ben_vulpes: the only men i've seen in this saga are the surgeons and the family doc. dunno what that means.
ben_vulpes: "so, if it doesn't happen by then be worried?"
ben_vulpes: by the way, american medical professionals have this habit of throwing out uncontextualized numbers: "oh, thus and such should happen by the other date"
ben_vulpes: ascii_field wished me mean reversion
ben_vulpes: around the mean.
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-11-2015#1314633 << healthy, somewhere in the first standard deviation for most things.
ben_vulpes: perhaps at the end of this fiscal year i can spread the risk around a bit.
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-11-2015#1314635 << you misunderstand. my entire net worth is tied up in $bezzlecorp.
ben_vulpes: wb adlai
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: except pretty much everyone can be made to develop mouth herpes by stressing the liver in a particular manner
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: what does it mean to "have the antibody", that one's body produces it?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: source for that claim of yours?
ben_vulpes: or stan works for tmsr~ for free
ben_vulpes: ahahahaha
ben_vulpes: certain class of people."
ben_vulpes: change at all to the labor-intensiveness, but the labor was more "fun" for a
