(trilema) nubbins`: brb, going to pick up a vacuum table!
(trilema) nubbins`: anyway, pankkake was making an argument for free software, not against the morals of the opera dev team
(trilema) nubbins`: potential logical fallacy
(trilema) nubbins`: kakobrekla: just because i don't vote doesn't mean i don't want the right! ;)
(trilema) nubbins`: you guys ever try the W3C's browser, Amaya?
(trilema) nubbins`: you mean you didn't follow the advice from that guy who's always bleating about ltc?
(trilema) nubbins`: anyway, uh. BITCOIN DOWN! should i put all my money in a blender and turn it on?
(trilema) nubbins`: and i spent 5 years working as a web dev
(trilema) nubbins`: you're literally the second person i've ever met who uses it
(trilema) nubbins`: <kakobrekla> doesnt work in O.
(trilema) nubbins`: time for sleep
(trilema) nubbins`: sorry, i'd be talking to you about those certs here but it requires a lot of "hmm"ing and scribbling of numbers
(trilema) nubbins`: the gold/silver ones are something like 6 BTC cheaper per roll
(trilema) nubbins`: oh! i was also wondering if your iceberg & whale coins showed up after
(trilema) nubbins`: have you opened your roll of special 0.5 silvers yet? ;)
(trilema) nubbins`: they look slick
(trilema) nubbins`: huh, bit of a price cut on those casascius silver/gold coins
(trilema) nubbins`: what a quote
(trilema) nubbins`: "5. FC didn't sell his AM stocks at the peak of its price. When asked in the interview why he didn't cash out, he responded that if he sold out the shares, people who bought them would make him work for them. He would like to only work for himself."
(trilema) nubbins`: what the fuck is up with you people and the moon
(trilema) nubbins`: dub: there's a reason why I have no XXL left

(trilema) nubbins`: rough concrete maybe
(trilema) nubbins`: you could probably roast coffee with some of those gpu rigs
(trilema) nubbins`: i wonder how many people are rebuying coins at a loss to scoop up AM shares
(trilema) nubbins`: that's a common thing to see with huge balances, i'm more surprised the other 35k BTC are sitting still
(trilema) nubbins`: pankkake: i think that's the point
(trilema) nubbins`: "reflects"
(trilema) nubbins`: i've really been getting into the melvins lately
(trilema) nubbins`: i think it was bill gates
(trilema) nubbins`: <bob____> idk.. the fucking pirate bay is still up
(trilema) nubbins`: ;;seen mircea_popescu
(trilema) nubbins`: on that note, it's 4:30am. nite
(trilema) nubbins`: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hfu11uljk3kjbcs/chess.svg if anyone wants a board i made in .svg format
(trilema) nubbins`: BingoBoingo: my board's fancier
(trilema) nubbins`: looks pretty grim
(trilema) nubbins`: guess they're having problems :p
(trilema) nubbins`: actually, 4 minutes ago
(trilema) nubbins`: gribble: MtGox lag is 580874.405675 seconds. During this time, light travels 1164.06580518 AU. You could have sent a bitcoin from the Sun to heliopause (out of the solar system!) (100 AU).
(trilema) nubbins`: like six minutes ago?
(trilema) nubbins`: will do, pretty hectic these days but i'm sure i can find somewhere to set a board up
(trilema) nubbins`: i prefer white
(trilema) nubbins`: i've just been printing flat ones on cotton rag so far, but i'm hoping to try printing directly to wood soon
(trilema) nubbins`: my dad's big into woodworking, he has an insane glue collection
(trilema) nubbins`: regulation-size boards are huge. they make for good wall art
(trilema) nubbins`: i've printed chessboards, too
(trilema) nubbins`: used to play via SMS with a friend who moved away. two boards + algebraic notation ;)
(trilema) nubbins`: i play occasionally. not very good
(trilema) nubbins`: all those guys who bought AM shares at 4+ must be fitting themselves for ropes right now
(trilema) nubbins`: has the room filled up with vibrations yet?
(trilema) nubbins`: darryl strawberry was on the simpsons once
(trilema) nubbins`: never had it change color like this before

(trilema) nubbins`: hmm, this new purple emulsion we bought has turned brown
(trilema) nubbins`: BingoBoingo: that's a lot of Cardanos ;)
(trilema) nubbins`: can you gpg sign your whereabouts on the evening of the 16th?
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: either that, or they plead not-guilty
(trilema) nubbins`: hell, if i had a dollar for every time i achieved complete awareness
(trilema) nubbins`: if i had a dollar for every "allegedly"...
(trilema) nubbins`: had an injection once, slept for most of 4 days
(trilema) nubbins`: they just make you sleepy
(trilema) nubbins`: i've had insane antihistamines
(trilema) nubbins`: forgot that "sleep" is a euphemism in pet-world
(trilema) nubbins`: er yeah, that's what i meant
(trilema) nubbins`: they put dogs to sleep with it
(trilema) nubbins`: ketamine is a dissociative
(trilema) nubbins`: hell, i'm not having a cigarette this very moment
(trilema) nubbins`: what's easier than not doing something?
(trilema) nubbins`: you just don't smoke
(trilema) nubbins`: dub, if you're ready to quit, it is
(trilema) nubbins`: but i can't lay the blame fully on that
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: i did have fairly high stress levels during that period of my life
(trilema) nubbins`: i just haven't had a cigarette in two years
(trilema) nubbins`: i'm still a smoker, and always will be
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: because it's burned into my brain
(trilema) nubbins`: 3 weeks and your body is nicotine-free
(trilema) nubbins`: mike_c: +1
(trilema) nubbins`: then why do i still get intense cravings for cigarettes when i see people smoking on tv?
(trilema) nubbins`: and if it's not a big problem, why quit?
(trilema) nubbins`: well, it's a much more innocent habit on the surface, too, which makes it seem like less of a problem
(trilema) nubbins`: i like things way too much to ever try coke
(trilema) nubbins`: my two-year quitting anniversary was last week
(trilema) nubbins`: well, no, but most people would choose not to snort a line of it, given the choice
(trilema) nubbins`: anything white that won't immediately kill you, really
(trilema) nubbins`: i've seen people add heaping spoonfuls of powdered glucosamine to bags of coke
(trilema) nubbins`: oh wait. i stopped when i had 100 points
(trilema) nubbins`: yeah. two beers will make you the drunkest guy in an empty bar.
(trilema) nubbins`: that's a wild couple of jumps
(trilema) nubbins`: yeah, last pasted link
(trilema) nubbins`: i think they were talking about difficulty
(trilema) nubbins`: and on that note, i'm out
(trilema) nubbins`: anyway, i gotta go prep for a zine workshop. peace
(trilema) nubbins`: not necessarily the most eager to embrace technology
(trilema) nubbins`: well, there are plenty of judges that won't accept emailed documents but will accept faxes
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: prolly never
(trilema) nubbins`: you just said two opposite things
(trilema) nubbins`: what an odd date format
(trilema) nubbins`: well, that makes more sense now
(trilema) nubbins`: i know right?
(trilema) nubbins`: and so i'm left trying to decide just how greedy i am
(trilema) nubbins`: but if i sit on them with the expectation that the trend continues, i risk losing out on potential gains as well
(trilema) nubbins`: anyway, the dilemma is that if i sell this stack of btc now, i could lose out on potential gains if the trend continues to rise
(trilema) nubbins`: 10% attack
(trilema) nubbins`: i'm having trouble deciding how greedy to be
(trilema) nubbins`: ^ that's getting a bit ridiculous
(trilema) nubbins`: i meant, why are you so interested in exporting a good from chins
(trilema) nubbins`: b0n1: curious to know what you're getting at here
(trilema) nubbins`: "5-level eq, all tubes, sub-harmonic generator, and here's a usb port"
(trilema) nubbins`: i'm picturing a Hiwatt with a built-in RNG
(trilema) nubbins`: chinese t-shirts
(trilema) nubbins`: "oh, for your amp?"
(trilema) nubbins`: "yeah, i need some tubes"
(trilema) nubbins`: pankkake: plus you could be all badass walking into the music store
(trilema) nubbins`: hm. well, i guess if i was onto something here, it would've been figured out ages ago
(trilema) nubbins`: contact mics are orders of magnitude more sensitive to touch vibration than air vibration
(trilema) nubbins`: literally, i'd be dead with blood coming out of my ears
(trilema) nubbins`: yeah, what i'm saying is that you'd deafen me before the contact mic would pick up the audio from my stereo
(trilema) nubbins`: they're almost completely insensitive to air vibrations. you'd need to have it in your hand
(trilema) nubbins`: control its input!
(trilema) nubbins`: i've got one in my hand right now
(trilema) nubbins`: that's right
(trilema) nubbins`: just thinking out loud here
(trilema) nubbins`: noise from contact mic fed into a non-linear equation as an input variable?
(trilema) nubbins`: any amplifier would introduce its own brand of consistency to the signal, &c &c
(trilema) nubbins`: yeah, guess that's the catch
(trilema) nubbins`: or you can rub a feather against it, and deafen yourself
(trilema) nubbins`: you can put one inside your mouth and scream, and it'll barely register
(trilema) nubbins`: well. incredibly sensitive to touch, incredibly insensitive to regular sources of sound
(trilema) nubbins`: these things are incredibly sensitive though
(trilema) nubbins`: but i don't think it's quite that straight-forward
(trilema) nubbins`: on the surface it sounds great. rub the contact mic against any surface and get all the entropy you need
(trilema) nubbins`: maybe more suitable in a battery-operated device
(trilema) nubbins`: they're really small, and really cheap
(trilema) nubbins`: hm, i wonder if a contact mic would be useful in the context of RNGs
(trilema) nubbins`: about transubstantiation :(
(trilema) nubbins`: and then i went off on a tangent
(trilema) nubbins`: i didn't get more than a couple paragraphs into that article
(trilema) nubbins`: "this string of zeroes isn't 4'33, but THIS string of zeroes *is*"
(trilema) nubbins`: and put into the context of 4'33 in the article asciilifeform linked
(trilema) nubbins`: now, it looks and acts like a plain unleavened wafer
(trilema) nubbins`: i mean when you take communion, you are, in the view of the church, literally eating the body of christ
(trilema) nubbins`: that's some seriously christian-based logic right there
(trilema) nubbins`: haha, the color of bits re: 4'33
(trilema) nubbins`: it's 30 btc even if you're listing?
(trilema) nubbins`: ;;gpg everify freenode:#bitcoin-otc:1dcbd21828071f2ba4842d8ccd3869b43616b165010a4fef2c4aa785
(trilema) nubbins`: phungus: no, but it would help for people buying/selling
(trilema) nubbins`: ;;gpg eauth nubbins`
(trilema) nubbins`: !ticker --market bitstamp
(trilema) nubbins`: there are mpex brokers
(trilema) nubbins`: "I wonder whether one of the team should contact one of the keyservers and request a dump of their database. "
(trilema) nubbins`: okay, time to sleep
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: more of a fancy paper wallet than anything. cardanos as bearer bonds is an interesting idea though
(trilema) nubbins`: i feel like there's a pun hiding in the last picture, but i can't quite find it
(trilema) nubbins`: "overall, i turned my life around"
(trilema) nubbins`: home sequencing is the way to go ;p
(trilema) nubbins`: Vexual: now you can't hash the result and use it as a brainwallet to store all your funds.
(trilema) nubbins`: oh no, of course
(trilema) nubbins`: it's been so long since i even touched up on the basics, all i have left now are opinions :P
(trilema) nubbins`: it's pure hubris to assume you can fully understand the results of manipulating such a complex thing
(trilema) nubbins`: the trickiest
(trilema) nubbins`: or any number of things. lel, whoops, 30,000kg of hamburger meat recalled because we contaminated it with e. coli!
(trilema) nubbins`: which is why i'm cautious about my optimism towards engineering
(trilema) nubbins`: when the "lel, whoops" has the ability to grow beyond a certain scope, it becomes much less of an attractive option, in my mind
(trilema) nubbins`: i mean, it was what, a year ago? two? that it was suddenly announced "lel, whoops, BPA gives you cancer"
(trilema) nubbins`: engineered varieties, who knows?
(trilema) nubbins`: no, but the varieties that were around before genetic engineering could be said to have so far withstood the test of time, which isn't a trivial test
(trilema) nubbins`: but all have successfully spread from one small geographic area across the globe, because of their relationship to humans
(trilema) nubbins`: on the surface, not much in common
(trilema) nubbins`: oh, and potatoes
(trilema) nubbins`: i watched a documentary a while back that was about apples, tulips and weed
