VanCleef: is 10 thousand billion the same as 10 trillion dollars?
MisterE: "A recent study by the Standish Group, a firm in Boston that researches failures, found that only 5 percent of large federal IT projects in the last decade fully succeeded. Of the rest, 41 percent were failures, canceled before they were turned on."

benkay: well that's enough research for the night.
gribble: vexual was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 3 weeks, 4 days, 6 hours, 6 minutes, and 30 seconds ago: <Vexual> lasers in the eye is never good tat
benkay: pay-to-pubkey-hash might still let the
benkay: although, nubbins`, you might be able to force the issue with pay-to-pubkey-hash
benkay: addresses encode the network.
nubbins`: you're saying, for example, someone creates an ATC tx and accidentally executes it on the BTC network instead?
benkay: might end up accidentally opening that address on other chains up to transferring its contents to the address corresponding to your target addr on the other chain
benkay: 'cause i don't know if there's anything chain-specific to transactions
benkay: i haven't had time to investigate this in depth, but don't use the same keys for different altcoins.
gribble: The operation succeeded.
benkay: ;;later tell mircea_popescu the army only ever answered to nell btw
gribble: The operation succeeded.
nubbins`: not much traction, maybe i was too stingy with the terms
KRS-One: Only thing free otherwise is
benkay: access to the murderous purplesquirt, i think
nubbins`: got a CIS kit on the way for it too
benkay: whatcha doing with the new printer, nubbins` ?
TestingUnoDosTre: the movie is something like "I believe I can fly (Flight of the Frenchies)". It's only like 75 minutes and it's about high linining (aka tight rope walking)
Mats_cd03: an almost inaudible, "hello, internets!" sounded off in the back of my mind
nubbins`: all i remember is that the backdrop was cool and she kept talking about this guy "miike snow"
Mats_cd03: https://soundcloud.com/beatsantique/get-lucky-feat-charles-butler solid reproduction of get lucky with the banjo
TestingUnoDosTre: alright but if I go make a cold wallet on a flash drive, sell the flash drive to my brother, and tell him that he can't use the coins for 2 years, who owns them?
benkay: TestingUnoDosTre: does the "coins you own, coins you don't" thing make sense?
ozbot: Lykke Li - No Rest For The Wicked (Official Audio) - YouTube
nubbins`: "sheilagh's brush" is what old folks call this, shit weather in late march
nubbins`: glad i didn't burn off the kerosene heater yet :D
benkay: look TestingUnoDosTre there are coins you own and coins you don't own.
nubbins`: then a storm wednesday night lasting thru friday
TestingUnoDosTre: if you knew the person well enough
benkay: if other people know who he is, then we're in an entirely different universe and i can't really plan for that right now.
ozbot: imgur: the simple image sharer
TestingUnoDosTre: some of them work quite well...
benkay: am i the only one who knows who satoshi is?
nubbins`: got the new Epson set up today
benkay: happens all the time radan
benkay: this is the thing about trust
TestingUnoDosTre: I didn't quite understand the "every day I don't move ..."
TestingUnoDosTre: I'm saying that the buyer knows and trusts satoshi
radan: if you buy something you think that the value of what you bought is greater than that of what you paid
benkay: plus sharing keys is anathema.
benkay: totally out of the scope of normal behavior.
TestingUnoDosTre: you sell them a 50 BTC flash drive, maybe at a discount price, and tell them they cant use it for 3 years or something
benkay: TestingUnoDosTre: every day i don't move those coins elsewhere is a day of risking not having them.
Mats_cd03: at this juncture id expect the price to fall if it was to happen
radan: he mined btc on the side
Mats_cd03: they are all being tracked and it would be instant news
TestingUnoDosTre: So satoshi has a whole boat load of 50 BTC addresses. Couldn't he just sell a flash drive with the private key of one address without crashing bitcoin
radan: but, more to the point, I do think this btc thing has potential
radan: it's rough until then ;__;
radan: and I hope they continue to increase in price
benkay: who knows is the point
radan: karpeles, szabo, circle k, and nakamoto are all one person with theoretically infinite wealth

benkay: https://bitslog.wordpress.com/2013/09/04/satoshi-machine-one-mystery-is-solved-and-another-opens/
TestingUnoDosTre: could he not just sell you a usb drive with the keys on it, and let you hold onto them
radan: doesn't satoshi hold like 1/4 of all the btc
benkay: or one of our wimmins, if we're sticking to the literal interpretation.
benkay: in that sense, the dollar could be said to be pegged by the shadowy group of people in #bitcoin-assets
radan: the fed decides what USD will cost on a given day, as I understand it
ozbot: Urban Dictionary: the eiffel tower
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=the%20eiffel%20tower | ... two men join hands above the woman to form what looks the Eiffel Tower. " Sweet dude, Let's give Linda The Eiffel Tower tonight!" by Boobtube April 24, 2006.
TestingUnoDosTre: simply talking about the supply increasing
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pegging | anal sex reveresed. instead of the man sticking his penis up the womans butt, the woman wears a strap-on and sticks it up the mans butt.
radan: the USD is pegged by a shadowy consortium of unelected figures
TestingUnoDosTre: I don't know if infinite is quite the best word for it, but it's pretty much like the USD
TestingUnoDosTre: In engineering they never had to say that, it was just implied
radan: they're worth less, assuming everything else stays constant
benkay: what happens when you have 20 dollars, and there are 1b dollars today, and 1.01b dollars tomorrow?
TestingUnoDosTre: It mean's the rate of inflation is defined
radan: besides the obvious
radan: okay, so there's a cap
Apocalyptic: that's one of the greatest things
TestingUnoDosTre: what about the cap in bitcoins produced...
Apocalyptic: looks like you kinda miss the point
TestingUnoDosTre: but I also play around with android phones via xda, and I'm not content with just downloading someone else's kernel or firmware and not really understanding the different between a stock android
radan: what's the consensus on dog and light coins
Mats_cd03: that challenge is for the 0.001% of programmers that want to use asm on a daily basis and probably possess masochistic tendencies
TestingUnoDosTre: I'm wondering whether I need to throw time at something more introductory before jumping in
Mats_cd03: do you want to know how to move around in the filesystem? edx
TestingUnoDosTre: thestringpuller, I was thinking of doing this edx course intro to linux, do you think that challenge you posted would be more timeworthy?
benkay: thestringpuller: neat find
Mats_cd03: thestringpuller: awesome
Mats_cd03: good, i hope youre doubling the rate every hour
benkay: high end technical consulting to old farts with companies who'd rather lean on me and my boys than run their own shit
TestingUnoDosTre: Used to smoke after work and listen to the original, the RAC mix, and this Easystar version as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Axs8-9u5qbY
Mats_cd03: i liked the radiohead cover
Mats_cd03: rather famous
benkay: man the high hats on that shit make my earballs wince
Mats_cd03: hindesmith rather
TestingUnoDosTre: Pretty lights also has a lot of stuff where the lyrics are kind of morphed so you don't pay attention to them quite as much, but some if it's a little dubsteppy / up tempo
Mats_cd03: benkay: https://soundcloud.com/jimipaul/james-holden-balance-disc-one theres a few samples with lyrics in that but i think theyre short
dexX7: i'm not. that's probably the root problem :)
TestingUnoDosTre: this one is my favorite rac track, his wife singing over the radiohead cover https://soundcloud.com/rac
Mats_cd03: anyone here make a run at any of the matasano crypto challenges?
dexX7: wow i hate bitcoin.. and linux. so i invested quite some time to figure out how to dump a leveldb database over a shitty putty console only to realize that the result wasn't what i was looking for <_<"
TestingUnoDosTre: thought this one was a nice remake with chance the rapper https://soundcloud.com/mapei/dont-wait-remix-mapei-chance
MisterE: I have a playlist I tell each one I made just for them
benkay: implying some small difference in tastes that i only noticed when the babe came by to apply her test.
benkay: this music you linked passes the babe test, ergo i must burn it with fire and expunge from my area.
benkay: this is the babe test of previous mention.
benkay: there is a babe in my house.
benkay: "It was said that the boat could have been made as good as new by putting on a new steel bottom, but that apparently Mr. Cochran preferred not to do that."
MisterE: US had a terrible time with it and their new Aluminum hulled boats
Mats_cd03: whats the babe test
benkay: Mats_cd03: this means i must ban it from the house.
benkay: Mats_cd03: Saint Motel passes the babe test.
mircea_popescu: it's mostly the publishers
benkay: it's even enjoyable for the reader sometimes. other times..."read recycled books! they're easy to write, and read good!"
benkay: authors have this dirty habit of milking their creative work for decades.
TestingUnoDosTre: one of the antagonists is a corrupt operating system... can't get much better than that
benkay: you may get a kick out of LW then. moderately more populated solar system; better understanding of biology etc.
benkay: if your client broke the url, you'll get a random page.
TestingUnoDosTre: hmmm, must have clicked on the wrong one
TestingUnoDosTre: was that first page written before the transfer to english?

asciilifeform: there is rarely anyone whose only duty is to clear mines

asciilifeform: 'the sapper errs once.'
Mats_cd03: and rather suddenly a rude man in a shit suit shows up for an interview unannounced
Mats_cd03: rather than his vpn
MisterE: he's the one who cooperated witht he feds
MisterE: yea you mess up once and all the work you've done to be anon is over
asciilifeform: unless you have read the source (at least, the protocol spec) and understand the limitations
benkay: they are in fact out to get you.
TestingUnoDosTre: download tor, sign up for anonymous email address, then pay for vpn?
mircea_popescu: anonymous in what sense ? so the sites can't serve you "tailored" adsense ?
TestingUnoDosTre: that just ruins the whole thing
TestingUnoDosTre: I'm simply trying to browse the web anonymously
TestingUnoDosTre: I feel like I'm in a chicken or the egg scenario. I want to sign up for a vpn, paying with bitcoin, and linking it to an anonymous email address
TestingUnoDosTre: Ive got another question reguarding signing up for a VPN
TestingUnoDosTre: Alright I'm good on that for the time being
benkay: dilutes the attention paid to any given pair.
TestingUnoDosTre: I'm wondering if I should generate another pair that doesn't have that info
benkay: you could probably buy btc off the craig too
benkay: 's where the buttsecks be, TestingUnoDosTre.
TestingUnoDosTre: with craigslist, I can tell someone that my name is Joe schmoe, I'll be wearing this or that, and meet me at the coffee shop
mircea_popescu: anyway, the point being that whether your name is or is not associated with a list of txn is not contingent on you typing the name in the gpg key gen process
TestingUnoDosTre: If I go and buy bitcoin, then sell bitcoin, then buy bitcoin, then sell bitcoin, I would much rather have no name associated with the transactions
mircea_popescu: TestingUnoDosTre this is roughly the equivalent of someone not pushing a button because it has "buttsex" written on it.
diametric: It also makes no claim to the authenticity of the information. You can make the key for Doc McStuffins if you wanted.
TestingUnoDosTre: I was thinking that I would much rather have a higher WoT rating with a key that did not contain my name and email
BingoBoingo: TestingUnoDosTre: Works just find if you leave the information out as well
BingoBoingo: TestingUnoDosTre: It's just questions that it asks, because it can put that information in the public key if you want it there.
MisterE: TestingUnoDosTre: check out how long they've had a ns registration
TestingUnoDosTre: this is what classifies as corny, for the record https://soundcloud.com/alunageorge/this-is-how-we-do-it
mircea_popescu: there
TestingUnoDosTre: elysium ( the movie) was suprisingly mediocre
benkay: this isn't an internet thing where there's a great big easy buy button.
benkay: get to know the humans.
TestingUnoDosTre: yes, but couldn't someone just build up a WoT with small transactions and then run off with a medium transaction
benkay: another scenario, someone's committing to sending you btc for your moneypak or whatever.
Mats_cd03: i like it better than the original tbh
benkay: see, mircea_popescu and i have rated each other. you can also look at my profile and see with whom i've traded btc.

decimation: ?The reports [from the contractor] just asserted that they had written X lines of code. .?.?.

mircea_popescu: benkay dude you didn't scare the woman off in private did you ?
mircea_popescu: (hint : the english crown did not survive)
mircea_popescu: erg. "You've got numbers of somewhat disillusioned and disenfranchised young men, who may be predisposed to challenging authority, because they have nothing invested in it."
mircea_popescu: By this time, the city was swelling with apprentices, and the adult population was finding them more difficult to control, says Barbara Hanawalt. As early death from infectious disease became rarer the apprentices faced a long wait to take over from their masters. "You've got quite a number of young men who are in apprenticeships who have got no hope of getting a workshop and a business of their own," says Jeremy Goldb
mircea_popescu: In the 15th and 16th Centuries, apprentice riots in London became more common, with the mob targeting foreigners including the Flemish and Lombards. On May Day in 1517, the call to riot was shouted out - "Prentices and clubs!" - and a night of looting and violence followed that shocked Tudor England.
mircea_popescu: "In London, the different guilds divided into tribes and engaged in violent disputes. In 1339, fishmongers were involved in a series of major street battles with goldsmiths. But ironically, the apprentices with the worst reputation for violence belonged to the legal profession."

ninjashogun: also, anyone who lists "psychology" as an interest is dead to me. They are beyond crazy, and without exception. I don't know a single marker as predictive of mental instability as interest in psychology.
ninjashogun: holy #$@ mirceau you sure know how to pick them. But I would never go for a woman with such an intellectually provocative public profile. Only the ones who keep that to themselves (as I do). makes everything easier :) :)
