lobbes: Top three things I need to do next: 1) set up automated updating of the reporting database the thing sits on (currently 'stale' data). 2) set up lobbesbot to similarly search via IRC commands 3) Zip distribution system!
mod6: (also, yes, the get_homedir sub can be trimmed)
mod6: all of the automated tests passed, so that's a good sign
mod6: all the changes needed to replace the current method of creating the ~/.gnupgtmp dir are these: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/8tGhm/?raw=true
mod6: looks like mktemp will do the trick
asciilifeform: they're in stock ( both here and at danielpbarron's , last i knew )

mod6: Will be good to get these changes in, get it tested & validated, and then move on to the other pressing matters of the Foundation. :]
mod6: The automated tests that I wrote are paying in spades btw.
mod6: I'm still gonna write up that blog post about the change to how the press-path is calculated. Hopefully have somthing here by Monday.

mod6: Anyway, was thinking that it would be best to halt operation if the directory already exists. Let the user decide how to handle from there.

asciilifeform: yes but why is 'shy' obstacle for them in ordinary meatmarket ? all they gotta do is sit there anyway
BigTexasBingo: Alf the girls use because shy and the sane ones want to meet dudes without their mothers in tow.
BigTexasBingo: The things what Okcupid should have been. For some reason no users in USA and many in LATAM
asciilifeform: what i still dunget is, why would the gurlz use an item like this
BigTexasBingo: It isn't much leverage, but gets the next batch of girls for you while you have been flirting with other girls.
BigTexasBingo: Well, after leaving the mall it pings myself and the girlies I didn't notice to flirt with that we were in roughly the same place.
BigTexasBingo: Has a proximity girl finder so go to the mall, mirar chicas, chicas mirar back, but bonus leads from GPS margin of error
asciilifeform: they 'made eyes', pretended to friendly, acted as if they were happy to see asciilifeform , for no good reason, set off all kindsa alarm

BigTexasBingo: Then mom blows it for her daughter by showing up

mircea_popescu: the difference between linear and superlinear scams is that the former aren't actually "social reform movements".
asciilifeform: pass it on to 1 other.
mircea_popescu: this altogether depends, buyer of dud may well attempt to pass it on.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 'reasons' being that 'scams on honest men' do not, as a rule, produce 'free radicals'
mircea_popescu used to buy most of the girl jewelry etc that way.
asciilifeform: invites the q : where did they liquidate the ipnojes, wedding rings, Last Shirts, that people put in
mircea_popescu: well, they sell but via wot.
asciilifeform: but what was interesting is that none of the pawnshops ~sold~ anything in the storefront. only bought. little hole in the wall, you put in goodies and get a few orcbux
mircea_popescu: "there's two kinds of scams : those who work on honest man, and those who don't. we call the later superlinear for reasons"

asciilifeform: worse, some of these folx even imagine themselves successful scammers : 'hey i milked 100k's worth of meritwashium out of mit, now all i gotta do is find another'
mircea_popescu: judgement by similarity has rendered a bunch of esltards imagine 1k usd is something they can afford. ridoinculous.
mircea_popescu: chief among the list -- the notion that useless 20something dicklet is ever going to repay six figure debts, as if he's some kind of fucking aeroplane or something.
mircea_popescu: scam of all time, a horde of useless 20somethinfg dicklets burdened under an immense pile of debt to "repay" for the "Service" they were rendered, which 99% consists of utterly unjustified and absolutely unsustainable self-expectations
mircea_popescu: it's funny how by now the "idea men" / mit grads notion of bitcoin is closer to some kind of biological item. "99% pure!!"
mircea_popescu: just putting it in teh plain that it works exactly opposite from most items, where it's rather "do it right so i don't have to have it redone"
asciilifeform: it's a simpleenuff item that there's really 0 excuse for not making own.
mircea_popescu: note tho that i am NOT going to enforce any kind of responsibility for vtrons. the item says "MAKE YOUR OWN!!! vtron" for a fucking reason, and this is that reason -- if you use another man's parachute package better not be surprised by the fact he likes to keep girl undies there.
asciilifeform: right, but it gotta be imho obvious ~where~ the business end is.
