AdrianG: im mainly interested in crypto tech, all these bitcoins/etc.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: proper blackhole, with the characteristic logz, or plain old lag ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The black hole treatment may have moved on to... me. Several times today restarted home node after finding myself stuck 3 to 14 blocks behind. Just recovered from a 4 hour lag.
adlai: this is why people who wish for success in life don't go into warrant officer carreers, or even avoid .mil altogether
adlai: actual quote from meatwot-pope: "if somebody executes a death warrant against somebody trying to improve bitcoin, i'll fund and execute one against them myself" (don't judge him, he's prone to angry outbursts)
asciilifeform: http://thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=apple_store_ban << lulzy re: crapple
asciilifeform: (rather than today, 12)
adlai is reminded of a snide remark made behind the back of an aging warrant officer: "your measure of success in life is inversely proportional to the weight and noise of your keyring"

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-01-2016#1370572 << ~to the merchant.~ (and yes, priced in.) but h is speaking to konsooomers, who 'if i don't see it, it doesn't exist and doesn't possibly affect me'
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 00:52:44; phf: asciilifeform: in your pgp version are you getting rid of the whole keyring concept? i assume the switch is to "a folder full of ascs"?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Yes, but I can only ever name one at a time and never specify and ordering lest I jinx the list. This is still feeling now like an alt universe version of 2012-2013
asciilifeform: they had a strange perfume inside, also
asciilifeform: mother brought it in one day - a box of 'post-it-notes'
mircea_popescu: i think the best igot were 3m
asciilifeform: basf made the best floppies also
mircea_popescu: actually the ddr metallic-something tapes of the era were much better than everything i saw since.
mircea_popescu: my mother prolly has it.
mircea_popescu: so i saved it on another tape.
mircea_popescu: "The Video is just a small sample that can get you started with Your Blog. Each subject is also reinforcement for ideas that You can use in your Life. Example .. The Ideas that I give for a Doctor can easily be modified and applied to another business or Passion. The basics of How a Doctor can monetize her Blog can also be applied to a person with a Coin Collection."
asciilifeform: in other 'news', 4 days of malleus without a blackholing
mircea_popescu: i'm sure that's how they got it. not from random usg tendrils washing billions in "advertising".
mircea_popescu: it's some old dude apparently living in costa rica (which he invented), telling the world truths in centered lines. "Yes, in case you didn't know it Facebook is a HUGE Blogging Platform and it earns Facebook Billions of Dollars !In fact Facebook generated $217.00 every second, 24hrs a day during 2013. And they Earned that money from You Blogging!"

assbot: Logged on 04-12-2015 14:59:41; asciilifeform: (does anyone recall the very recent thread re: gcc optimizing away a certain kind of security check WHEN EXPLICITLY ASKED NOT TO ?)
mircea_popescu: http://www.themillionairebloggingsystem.com/ << epic shit.
asciilifeform: 'OpenSSH 6.6 is the only version that is not affected, because it calls explicit_bzero() instead of memset() or bzero(). ..... older GCC versions do not remove the memset() or bzero() call made by buffer_free() or sshbuf_free(). GCC 5 and Clang/LLVM do, however, remove it.'
BingoBoingo prefer the whip for historical lulz. If going down to an angry urban mob might as well tack on the irony of defending self with Antebellum era agricultural tool.
adlai has yet to see the "51st state" go full usgtard
mircea_popescu: up until they run into one of the people that go by the principle that "if i see you armed you're dead."
adlai: some of my best friends defuse road rage with firearms (works in the middle east, at least, where it's initiated with posturing rather than intent)
BingoBoingo: That's the other good reason it wouldn't have been linked if I found it in time. It's like Cryptsy screaming their were hacked after their end has already entered the record. Too late.
mircea_popescu: reading mike hearn is like reading timecube without the humor, writing skill, grounding in reality, variety and aesthetic appreciation.
mircea_popescu: for one thing, i have yet to see a tx that cost 0.1 btc fixed fee, which is what wires cost. for the other, credit cards are UNIVERSALY MORE EXPENSIVE THAN WIRES.
mircea_popescu: dude get the everloving fuck out.

gribble: The operation succeeded.
BingoBoingo: ;;later tell bitstein I missed that original piece by Mike Hearn. I see no reason to link it or an archive of in in the Qntra article. Mike Hearn hasn't had a say on any subject in a long time. Why should he get one about himself?
phf: asciilifeform: in your pgp version are you getting rid of the whole keyring concept? i assume the switch is to "a folder full of ascs"?
gribble: The operation succeeded.
mod6: ;;later tell PeterL I guess also, if that doesn't resolve the issue, there could be something weird going on with your gpg import. might have to investigate more with you.
gribble: The operation succeeded.
mod6: ;; later tell PeterL hey, the version of 'v.pl' that you have looks correct to me. the issue is that you have the pubkeys named incorrectly, try with 'mod6.asc', 'ben_vulpes.asc', 'asciilifeform.asc' and 'mircea_popescu.asc'
mod6: shinohai: good to hear, thx for the update.
