(trilema) ben_vulpes: well you don't have a job anymore that's unfair and i'm going to call the communists on you
(trilema) ben_vulpes: what sort of scenario leads to no seaweeds? could one not grow them oneself? and who's to tax the tiny barge floating many many miles from nowhere?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: log lines
(trilema) ben_vulpes: holy shit how am i still 1k under
(trilema) ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> (moreover my point was that growing shit is taking care of the small problem, most of your energetic needs aren't "what to eat") << so seaweed in giant nets?

(trilema) ben_vulpes: you crazy, mang.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i also saw a van with outriggers packed with riot-geared cops
(trilema) ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: this afternoon i saw a jeep 'truck' and chrysler 'minivan' block traffic on burnside for no reason. two vehicles, completely unmarked, pulled out into traffic, turned on head/taillight mars signallers, blocked the street for two full minutes, then turned said lights off and peeled off
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "little beirut"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: all the fuck over, too
(trilema) ben_vulpes: so many riot geared cops out tonight
(trilema) ben_vulpes: good god

(trilema) ben_vulpes: plus, i like to get out of the house.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mats_cd03: i run a consulting shop. far easier to get contributors to contribute/consult when there's an actual place to go.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: 'Children’s need to be “stimulated, pushed and encouraged to take risks is as great as their need for stability and security,”' << merry go-rounds aren't a thing in the states any more, because children might get scraped up.

(trilema) ben_vulpes: i miss all the good logs.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> and im pretty sure isis is the first place with a serenissima embassy, for that matter. << this exists in point of fact?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: the donkey kong is strong with this one
(trilema) ben_vulpes: undata: if you're taking home more than 16.5K as an individual, it's not cheaper.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: undata: group buy?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: undata: yee
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: american doctors are dangerously expensive
(trilema) ben_vulpes: nevermind that 325/mo doesn't buy *shit* insurance here.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "give us (healthcare mafia) your money, or else - give us (ordinary communist mafia) your money"

(trilema) ben_vulpes: i believe that you have a term for this degradation of the industrial toolchain, asciilifeform, but it escapes me at the moment.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: these days: auto-refractor - you betcha. lead times - in stock. odd prescription in the tail of things? get fucked.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: lead time was nearly a month back then.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: it was a glorious time at the intersection of the autorefractor and the custom plastics.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: this, afaik, is not available anymore.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: once upon a time my contacts were made to order.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i miss this terribly.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: (particularly important when the astigmatism severely degrades views through anywhere but the lens center)
(trilema) ben_vulpes: eyes move, not head
(trilema) ben_vulpes: full field of vision
(trilema) ben_vulpes: oh let's see
(trilema) ben_vulpes: so - i use the 1920x1200's in horizontal orientation, slapping 3 buffers sideways.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: plus, astigmatism.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i can't use contacts while programming as my prescription is way out in the tail of the distribution, where the spacing between contact fabrication points squarely frames my actual needs.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i can't use very tall monitors, as i bought these glasses in high school and they have an extremely narrow field of vision.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: a hilarious thing about my monitor selections
(trilema) ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: why is 1200x1920 so abhorrent?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: cazalla: i'm casually observing lady v browse etsy et al for moar home furnishings (just set her up with the budget for a kilim rug), saw rabbit fur flash across the screen, thought of your habits.
(trilema) ben_vulpes is out of his depth...again.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: moreover is tanning even the thing to do with hairy hides?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: cazalla: do you tan your rabbit hides?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: well yeah that's why it's part of the offer on the space
(trilema) ben_vulpes: so what, two cases of champagne?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: also reincorporating as an s-corp in 2015 for ibid
(trilema) ben_vulpes: book it as an expense in 2014 for taxes.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: it's a more expensive space, but nobody's teeth will be chattering in the new space.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: we are planning to buy the year's rent in a lump sum
(trilema) ben_vulpes: lol wd
(trilema) ben_vulpes: ;;later tell asciilifeform subject of monitors: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005JN9310/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s03?ie=UTF8 << excellent vertical orientation displays
(trilema) ben_vulpes: monitors and desks are certainly on the list.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: as i said this afternoon "too much money to put to use in our own business, not enough to get into any others".
(trilema) ben_vulpes: can't quite swing apartments this year.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i struggle with the flipside of the debt thing - what to do with the retained earnings? go long the stock market? really? i'm bullish on btc on like a 30 year timeframe so that has to have next to no bearing on the 1-2 year timeframe for handling retained earnings right now. give up the 8% or w/e the market's doing under QE or hold it all in cash because "it can't go on like this forever!11!"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: (the girls of my generation, i mean.)
(trilema) ben_vulpes: but they never got paid to begin with. pay cuts tho?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i'm familiar with the females of my age group couch surfing, living on gov't grants, waitressing, staying up late chain smoking over the odd "piece".
(trilema) ben_vulpes: how'd they eat?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: "25% salary cuts every 2-3 months" << this is a thing?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: myeah.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: at this rate i'm going to have to learn romanian
(trilema) ben_vulpes: although the acronym puns are probably going to be hard
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2012/cererea-de-suspendare-a-pre%C8%99edintelui-traian-basescu-sau-cu-caragiale-tot-inainte/ << i nominate for translation queue based on link title alone

(trilema) ben_vulpes: isn't that n-tube?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "the" otc guy?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: *clack clunk*
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i think the question that i'm asking is: is an embedded db even a good idea?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: yeah i figured
(trilema) ben_vulpes: http://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/emails/cryptography/ << really? this is it?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: is that really all of them?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: jurov: "the nakamoto institute" was working on an archive of the satoshi letters at one point. i don't know if they got anywhere with it.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: (but that's neither here nor there)
(trilema) ben_vulpes: also key value stores make me barf
(trilema) ben_vulpes: but y'all know more than i on the topic.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: the thought that writing to disk requires explicit concurrency semantics (DB_CONFIG requiring lock numbers configured by trial-and-error) in c++ with bdb etc (would this be true of sqlite as well?) makes me think that talking to a professionally written database over a local socket wouldn't be such a bad idea.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: heh
(trilema) ben_vulpes: what parts need to fit in head?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: bitcoin is serious business - perhaps a serious business database should be involved.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "since it is file based, it requires no separate database setup for users" << i don't know about this.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: why is it a better idea for bitcoin to write the blockchain to disk instead of into an external database?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: but this is systems science in <not my domain>
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i suspect certain diets encourage certain bugs that diddle the endocrine system horribly
(trilema) ben_vulpes: jurov: i can't imagine we've sequenced all virii inhabiting humans or even done a decent job at even the internal or external bacteriospheres
(trilema) ben_vulpes: nobody noticed lol
(trilema) ben_vulpes: wat
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "Rejection reason: There's no way for a mod to find a suitable replacement for a random chance."

(trilema) ben_vulpes: honest suckage, eh?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i am interested in the history, though.
