mircea_popescu: incredible how fine the brain is when scrutinizing woman face.
mthreat: and you gotta love that pic at the top of that web page
mircea_popescu: now that aside, tor is really not functional, and so yes he has some good points mixed into the turd.
assbot: DOGG: Getting It On Hot Doggy Style | Pick Up The Fork
mthreat: change of subject - here's a place nearby that you'll like, mircea, if you like hot dogs: http://pickupthefork.com/2014/01/28/dogg-getting-it-on-hot-doggy-style/
mike_c: "good enough" is fine for a single use case. you make a website, you use certain tools to secure it, and maybe there are some theoretical holes and this is ok. but the tools themselves should be bulletproof.
mircea_popescu: but more generally, it's more of the same "o hai guise, good crypto is not really necessary" stoolies. this is evil whether the person is aware of their sin or not.
mircea_popescu: you definitely don't want priviledged actors that aren;t you, and no, the govt is not you.
mircea_popescu: you want either strong encryption - nobody gets it, or weak encryption - everyone gets it.
mike_c: it's perfectly profitable to sit in a starbucks and MitM even if it's not feasible to do it to the entire planet
mircea_popescu: moreover, making it difficult for criminals and still doable for the govt is the worst possible world
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic well that's flattering, but no. while we write about the same things about similar things and at the same time, we're actually different people.
asciilifeform: The soldiers parade at Ft. Meade! / From crib sheets the Generals read, / 'Our battles we'll win, / - for we've cracked ROT-13! / Our enemies shall learn to bleed.'
midnightmagic: the tone is similar.
mircea_popescu: spending the accumulated wealth of ten generations just so one and a half could do some exploring in the endless space of "just how exactly the stupidity of idle idiots goes" has got to be the worst deal in the history of humanity.
mircea_popescu: "Obviously you go with Alice, which is also why she isn't popular among women: There's no aspiration, no wish fulfillment, it's too fantastic, too impossible because Alice is, in fact, a superhero. It's not real."
asciilifeform: Cryptography master McGee / said, 'no use I've for this RNG, / I can eat bags of bits, / mix 'em up when I shits, / I know they'll emerge pattern-free.'
mircea_popescu: "Marc le petomane belge goes to dinner", the new and exciting comic in Al Vomit's autumn line-up.

mircea_popescu: A gifted young fellow from Sparta was widely renowned as a farta'.He could fart anything from "Of Thee I Sing," to Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata."
asciilifeform: There once lived a fellow named Hearn; / For to ravish the blockchain he yearned; / Cried, 'I'll squirt in my seed, / And your heart - it will bleed!' / But got only laughs in return.
TheNewDeal: the butt one?
TheNewDeal: I was talking about reading the bitcoin-assets log while I resign and go home
mircea_popescu: just you know, the traditional response to "what if i wana do both". well honey... your butt'll get loose.
TheNewDeal: it was just as high quality the second time around
mircea_popescu: bitcoin-assets is a matter of lead : if you find the great tome you may take it home, but if you bumble and stumble you'll get shot in the head.
HeySteve: there once was a room called Assets / which they declared full of bit-fascists / "those guys are jerks!" / they herped and they derped / but in the end their scams all went flaccid
mircea_popescu: The guy known as asciilifeform had a corny penile horn. Whomever he fucked was thoroughly plucked and no longer lukewarm to reform.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo maybe the perosn's trying to get laid.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: There once was a man named Ken Thompson / Who had a peculiar Johnson; / For park it he will / In no hole he 'adn't drilled; / Lest the hole tap a thread that's unwholesome.
ThickAsThieves: fukn racists these days
mircea_popescu: Thenewdeal had a very very loose butt seal, on account of years of abuse and very hard use, but it didn't bother his zeal.
BingoBoingo: Benkay used some Icy Hot. It all went up it pot. The balm was too strong, for benkay's dong. With blisters his dick was shot.
fluffypony: benkay managed devs in the day, but at nighttime was when he did play, IRC was his joy, poor gribble was his toy, (nanotube let's him just have his way)
mircea_popescu: There lived this newlywed named Ben Gay, Who didn't really want to say, and so he pretended for all those concerned that his name really were benkay.
BingoBoingo: There once was a muppet named truffles, they alway got up into a fluffle. Truffles hated to read, and missed warnings to head. In the end truffles screams were muffled.
fluffypony: on the 'net lived a trader named Mike, whose charts would show both dip and spike, good advice he did give, as an investment sieve; with the proceeds he bought a new bike!
fluffypony: there once was a vixen, hanbot, who gave forum n00bs hassle - a lot! it blew up with a fight, bad mods came to light, now she's both in b-a and the WoT
mircea_popescu: A whore that was thick and her circle of thieves took pleasure in sniffing the filthiest greaves. that came to an end when the lady's friend died from a horrible case of dry heaves.
mike_c: There was once a trader called TaT / Whose charts went this way and that / He opened a leg / But the price wouldn't peg / And his profits all went kersplat
BingoBoingo: Fuck you Messi, this is for the World Cup final http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2014/07/28/lionel_messi_tax_evasion_prosecution_spain_not_happy.html
mircea_popescu: dub had a hubby, he was well short and stubbly, but when they met, usually at the vet, the neighbours corked gallons of bubbly.
fluffypony: nanotube was a bot maker grand, had the WoT in his right and left hand, "I won't change it, I swear", he'd exclaim with a glare, that's why Karpeles was not auto-banned
mthreat: is there a website that accepts phonetic input and speaks it?
dub: there one was a chatter named mp. with a penchant for prose, evidently. alas he can't rhyme. though he's want to opine. on matters of whips and rear entry
fluffypony: TheNewDeal: nice!
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves was a grand pseudonym, of a man that enjoyed drinking gin, "buy my passthrough" he cried, 'tho NeoBee had yet died, so he turfed that whole thing in the bin
TheNewDeal: There once was a bot named gribble. With humans, he would not quibble. If he had but one weakness/ it sure wasn't meekness/ but reputation attacks from Sybil
BingoBoingo: fluffypony met a duck. The made the decision to fuck. They went for a long time, but fluffypony was caught for his crime. All their children went cluck.
mircea_popescu: the only thing popescu rhymes with is risque.
ThickAsThieves: Here's a tear for Old Man Popescu, who was always in need of a rescue. He'd be smelling a rose, all the while in no clothes, wondering how it was that he met you.
fluffypony: won't have the same ring to it as megalomania :-P
fluffypony: there once was a chap from Romania, who said "Bitcoin I'll try to explain-to-ya!"; he launched an exchange, Jimmothy did enrage, now he talks with such megalomania
mircea_popescu: A dentist, young doctor Malone, got a charming girl patient alone and, in his depravity, filled the wrong cavity. God, how his practice has grown.
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal didn';t we just like marginalize a sucker for having dared to ask wtf is going on not an hour ago ?
mircea_popescu: There's no fluff on this pony, said Joe to his homie. So they took off with the wife, and for her life she never could get back to the coney.
BingoBoingo: Some girl called to Namworld. He was not of this world, After he circled the corn. They made Japanese tentacle porn!
mircea_popescu: The harlot went Dub! You persnickety scrub, I lent you my car to drive to the mall, not to stuff your nub in the rub.

mircea_popescu: There lurked on assets this chap named copumpkin. He kept to himself, his balls on the shelf and a big huge silicone dong for the munchin'.
TheNewDeal: plus, bitcoin is like the real New Deal, not some phony FDR stuff
fluffypony: On chat lived a guy, TheNewDeal, whose nickname had little appeal; "I would change if I dare, but it's not here nor there," he did write and then GPG seal
mircea_popescu: A CS student named Lin had a prick the size of a pin. It was no good for girls but just great for squirrels, they squealed with delight with it in.

mircea_popescu: A busy young lady named Gloria was had by sir Gerald du Maurier, and then by six men, sir Gerald again, and the band at the Waldorf-Astoria.

mircea_popescu: "in our vain and ultimately doomed quest to differentiate ourselves from our tween years, without changing anything substantial, we shall now endeavour to identify anything we perceive the womenz don't like with '12yo boys', thus clearing making it clearly obvious & clear that we're not deserving of the friendzone"
mircea_popescu: One wouldnt expect any better from libertarians, who have built an entire ideology around the world-view of 12-year-old boys."
mircea_popescu: "Certainly that was how things played at the blog of the libertarian Reason magazine, which mocked the notion that someone might both deserve economic assistance and make art and wear odd clothes.
mircea_popescu: rithm anyway, they're going the right way, at least that much. who's the coo/ceo there ?
fluffypony: HeySteve: is the gpg auth being weird again?
mircea_popescu: ubuntu on amazonaws is such a match made in heaven. they pretty much deserve each other.
cr_zoidberg: also we was the first of cryptonote coins who was developed official GUI .
cr_zoidberg: mircea_popescu: not really bug - it was bad design i guess. to fix it they need to make core changes and make hard fork. we have just different transaction format.
mircea_popescu: cr_zoidberg so you fixed a bug in cryptonote, why not just submit a patch to them ? and if they fix it too, that point goes away ?
cr_zoidberg: mircea_popescu, we have more details in presentation. at first we changed transaction format and added attribute to outs that fix welknown CryptoNote issues. Second imortant improvment - we changed the way of transaction identification, that let us to drop unneeded big parts of trancsactions.
fluffypony: sschshty is the number after fffvty
mircea_popescu: well she's got a strong cunt enunciation. .. which is still with the groupo from what i gather.
benkay: no respect for the kyriarchy
cr_zoidberg: mircea_popescu: innovations in few words, unlike other cryptonote-based сщшты: 1. we improved anonymity over the original cryptonote core, 2. we reduced blockchain bloading from ring signatures 3. we invented new PoW hash - fast and asic resistent, 4. we have public address aliasing feature that will be used later in colored coins. + some small improvements.
mircea_popescu: "At least in the U.S., a massive entertainment industry affords humanities majors with ample job opportunities crafting detergent pitches and scripting vampire romances. But second-tier Europe?" <<< ahahaha so much win.
mircea_popescu: +with the
fluffypony: such a strong voice in the female community
mike_c: she was the only one i could think of. chetty doesn't talk much.
mircea_popescu: apparently this reality where all the strong female voices in bitcoin are related to this channel never happened.
rithm: i quote myself =all the time stfu
fluffypony: "Although more speculative, I also believe PINK may be the first to attract more female users. Bitcoin is now home to a number of strong female voices, yet the alt market still seems to be something of a dude fest. With PINK’s commitment to funding breast cancer awareness and somewhat androgynous color scheme, I could see PINK being a first love for women with a lot of Bitcoin hungry for the returns some of us are already used to."
mircea_popescu: but by the time she's toothless, barren and 24, nobody cares to know whether she thinks she's worth more than $8 and a beer for a quickie.
fluffypony: so have we converted the room into pro-feminism yet?
mircea_popescu: this exactly mirrors the life of the adolescent whore, who may have run away from hgome at 15 to be a star, and may have enjoyed the freedom her career gave her at 16, when her previous classmates were struggling with school romance and homework
asciilifeform: poor fella, not even worth the seven grams of lead to his owners.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the sad part about a life as a stoolie is this : that once mp blows your cover, your value to your owners decreases dramtically. and while you had been lured into the life with promises of superspydom, well... you gotta do the work such as it is. whether you think yourself better than that or not.
fluffypony: asciilifeform: he's revealing himself as the Bitcoin Devil to Ver's Jesus
benkay: wasn't communism attempted in the mid 20th century? and it failed?
chetty: <mircea_popescu> chetty : that should result in a bizarre sect of people who wear the doldos non stop and only get to orgasm when the computer is pleased with them.// the field for whole new fetishes is wide open
fluffypony: Luke-Jr has the best Bitcoin balance
mircea_popescu: chetty : that should result in a bizarre sect of people who wear the doldos non stop and only get to orgasm when the computer is pleased with them.
kakobrekla stabs fluffypony in the head.
fluffypony: for people on their death bed?
fluffypony: when are we adding "last steps in bitcoin-assets" to the wiki
mircea_popescu: the old wiki is too fouled by the likes of mike hearn, luke jr and the rest of the tools to be much use anymore
fluffypony: mike_c: the third joke is David Seaman
chetty: maximize the distance between a decision-maker and
cr_zoidberg: FabianB: "dev bounties is 1%" - yes, we have daily paid with about 1% of emission, but this inclome depends of miner votes. they can reduce our earings if they don't like our work for example
mircea_popescu: fluffypony i imagine in the not so distant future one'll be able to make a living helping people present themselves well here.
mircea_popescu: cr_zoidberg don't be vague, be aggressive. what, specifically, is worth the mention on that lot of inovations ?
gribble: Error: User doesn't exist in the Rating or GPG databases. User must be GPG-registered to receive ratings.
fluffypony: ;;rate cr_zoidberg 1 seriously top notch C / C++ dev, pushes code out like there's no tomorrow
the20year: No, the investors are still an asset - they're the reason the business has flourished. The liability right now is interent trolls
mircea_popescu: fluffypony doh, what's to be expected there.
the20year: I'm shocked that both IPOs went as well as they did, but through both of them at the $4/share range, it gave us sufficient capital to buy the 8 properties we wanted, and build the business to viability
mircea_popescu: anyway, so what's the takehome here, banks are now warm enough that the investors are mostly a liability or what ?
mircea_popescu: the20year the unexplained part is how people that weren't buying at 30ish one week bought at 75ish the next, and then sold back down to 40ish the week after that.
fluffypony: they send you a postcard with a code on it
the20year: Now we're at a point where we really don't need new investment, the business is bringing in upwards of $6k/mo in revenues with $8k/mo on the near horizon, AND banks are getting very warm to us
fluffypony: cryptostocks has the best verification system
the20year: I can understand the greif with the .0055 and .0075 IPOs within two months, and they were to meet a very specific goal - keep my employees with jobs till we were able to partner with a bank, or maintain sufficient cashflow to keep my employees in houses
fluffypony: investors would just gettrust and talk to people in their L1 or L2 trust
mircea_popescu: that double price week of ipo thing you had going is definitely problematic, as far as these things go. but anyway, im too lazy to dig up the actual threads.
fluffypony: this shit would unequivocably be solved with the WoT
mircea_popescu: the20year the logic would be that they want to protect the people who aren't investors yet not the ones that already bit it.
the20year: and like I said, and they didn't care - if either of our companies are fined by the SEC, or we start racking up major laywer bills, it comes out of shareholder money which is who they say they're gonna protect
fluffypony: the20year: that sounds like someone threatening to report a renter on AirBNB to their landlord
mike_c: or, they are havelol pump/dump/crash/repeat scamsters trying to crash RENT?
the20year: Your guess is as a good as mine , i guess they assume that him and I are both 100% fraudsters and want to prevent anyone from investing in either of us as the assumption is that we will take all their money
fluffypony: the20year: what's up with that anti-Benny thread?
mircea_popescu: everyone's stuck selling to the government, let's just hope government can keep paying everyone for their golden toilets. forever.
mircea_popescu: so if you add it all up, 15*24 + 50 = 410. which whatever, one could round a bit, but not all the way to 300 * 24 + 1000 = 8200 for chrissakes. so basically, this guy just priced himself way, way, way the fuck out of the market, and then they wonder why nonsense like uber is successful. well... it's successful because trying to add 2000% padding on your cost structure will never fly and can never fly.
mircea_popescu: this is going to be the fucking end of the us, i swear. talk to guy running a private eye business for a project, he wants 1k upfront and 300 an hour for three investigators in two cars. meanwile, car rentals are still 30 to 50 a day (and you should get a fucking rebate if yu're in the business) and grunts are still happy to make 15 an hour - really, lots of phd kids can't even get the 15 and work at starbucks for 11.2
mircea_popescu: cr_zoidberg that'd be the answer to "where".
the20year: I was gonna invite everyone here to the rentalstarter Aug 1st conference call
cr_zoidberg: Hello, I'm known as zoidberg and I'm a core developer of project Boolberry. I heard about this channel via Bitcrea and Matic Kocevar. We are currently searching for support opportunities for Boolberry. We are the most advanced anonymous cryptocurrency to date, a modified and improved version of CryptoNote. Here's a few presentations we recetly released:
mircea_popescu: you must be doing something wrong but short of having someone physically there to try it out i dunno how to find it
mircea_popescu: !up the20year
mircea_popescu: fucking posers these people, to the degree they've entirely forgotten they're posers.
mircea_popescu: throughout industry, maybe if they gave us more information, a reader would offer to hire her.
mircea_popescu: How much do you want to bet that her two degrees arent in Materials Science and Genetic Engineering? By not telling us what she studied, the article inoculates itself (and her) against the completely understandable response of Maybe she should have studied something marketable. Tell me, after reading the article, do you know what job was Ms. Ulldemolins looking for? The Economist is read by influential people
mircea_popescu: Lets get to the facts. The only fact present in that introduction is that her two degrees are worthless. I mean that quite literally, the market has chosen to place no value on someone with those two degrees. And how do I know this? Because the article doesnt tell us what degrees she has.
mircea_popescu: so if behaviour a is common in A and b in B, and a conveys 90% less germs than b, then germs are 90% less of a problem in B than A.
mircea_popescu: there's this point in anthropology proposing that behaviours emergent in groups are reflective of the survival fit those same behaviours entail.
mthreat: most important news of the day: http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/07/28/us-usa-fistbump-idUSKBN0FX1Q820140728
mircea_popescu: sounds like a literate vor explaining the bаша собственная тюрьма point.
chetty: asciilifeform, great piece, will is indeed the key
asciilifeform: results - and from this comes strength; the fight now turns, from a draining, futile floundering - to a merry, wrathful clobbering of a dying vermin, who with us - men - has nothing whatsoever in common. But it all begins - with nonparticipation.' (Беркем аль Атоми, articles. translation mine.)
asciilifeform: sheath, you have traded places with the *pederasti* - now you are sighted, and they are blind. Now you no longer struggle in the darkness with something foggy and omnipresent, which softly absorbs every blow - instead, you can now clearly make out a pathetic piece of shit, which has smeared itself over the most important part - the eyes - of a large and powerful man. You can now deal blows, directly seeing the
asciilifeform: 'Learn not to participate - to the point of utter impossibility of meeting the enemy 'half-way' - and you will see that inside there lay a very useful mindfuck: in learning to 'nonparticipate,' in fact you drew out your *will* from its scabbard - to which it seemed so securely riveted by your upbringing. The appearance of *your will* changes everything and forever. With your own will slipped into your boot knife
asciilifeform: kakobrekla, mircea_popescu: when you stop bothering << :
mircea_popescu: how do you suppose the brave new world works ?
kakobrekla: dunno why i still bother with anything given what market offers.
mircea_popescu: you see, the % they seek merely guides as to how much they'd have to make to break into relevancy.
mircea_popescu: now they must clearl hold less than 1%, so 12% a day is needed.
mircea_popescu: back when they held a third to half the bitcoin in circulatiuon, 7% a week was good enough.
mircea_popescu: you know, that's indicative of how poor they are.
mike_c: kakobrekla: that is for investment. and the going rate seems to be 12% a day
mircea_popescu: jurov no, the twinks get killed the morning after, because they're coping with their post partum depression in their infantile way which brings up narcissistic rage in the ex-gay man now devout catholic again.
mike_c: i am far from convinced it is a good idea. but how do you get word out to lots of bitcoiners? not in the finance niche, more in the mass market.
mircea_popescu: careful, next you'll be in the position of the married, devout catholic going to gay bars.
mircea_popescu: and you figure you can divorce these at will ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: people wanting a job... income on the terms of what living costs << unless one is a necromancer, it is difficult to hire folks who can't live
