09:02 artifexd mircea_popescu You make me sad. I wanted to believe in NeoBee.
09:03 VanCleef that was your first mistake
09:03 mircea_popescu yeah generally a pragmatic approach works better. there are more things we want to believe in than can be done.
09:04 psterryl so people are saying neobee is a scam now?
09:04 VanCleef yeah its official
09:04 mircea_popescu just poorly managed.
09:04 bounce but, I like that poster!
09:04 psterryl how is it official vancleef?
09:04 psterryl since there's been no official statement
09:05 psterryl seems like rumour to me
09:05 psterryl until someone points to some legit evidence or a statement from LMB/neo/danny
09:05 mircea_popescu psterryl what's your reasoning process here ?
09:06 psterryl my reasoning is evidence based
09:06 psterryl without evidence either way
09:06 mircea_popescu i mean specifically in this deduction :
09:06 mircea_popescu <psterryl> so people are saying neobee is a scam now?
09:06 mircea_popescu <VanCleef> yeah its official <psterryl> until someone points to some legit evidence or a statement from LMB/neo/danny
09:06 psterryl it's impossible to call it one way or the other
09:06 mircea_popescu no, this is neither reasonable nor novel material.
09:07 mircea_popescu it's been covered to death why " it's impossible to call it one way or the other" doesn't work and doesn't hold, over the years
09:07 mircea_popescu you'll have to refer to the logs.
09:07 psterryl i'm just talking from my own personal viewpoint
09:07 psterryl everyone is entitled to their own opinions/deductions
09:08 psterryl i like to be shown conclusive proof
09:08 psterryl rather than get caught up in internet chinese whispers
09:09 assbot [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 35 @ 0.06730513 = 2.3557 BTC [-] {5}
09:09 mircea_popescu no, everyone is not entitled to their own personal viewpoint.
09:09 psterryl oh ok
09:09 mircea_popescu the path is 1) you prove you're able to think ; 2) you're entitled to your own viewpoint.
09:09 psterryl so everyone is entitled to the mircea approved viewpoint?
09:09 mircea_popescu so far you're short 1.
09:09 mircea_popescu no.
09:10 psterryl well, my 1st class university degree should suggest i'm ok for #1
09:10 mircea_popescu but there is such a thing as an examen de maturite which keeps the children away from human society.
09:10 psterryl but you're just some random guy on the internet
09:10 mircea_popescu you may not suggest that. i have to suggest it, when you're talking to me,
09:10 bounce eh, opinions are like assholes. everyone's got one. whether they matter is something else entirely.
09:10 psterryl so it's not like i have to prove anything to you
09:10 psterryl ok cool
09:10 psterryl well
09:10 mircea_popescu and generally everyone else, when you're talking to them.
09:10 psterryl in that cuse
09:10 cazalla popcorn.gif
09:10 psterryl as of this moment, i'm officially talking to everyone in this channel apart from you
09:10 psterryl so you dont need to worry
09:10 mircea_popescu aite.
09:10 cbr *clap clap clap clap*
09:11 ThickAsThieves statistically, ignoring mp is ignoring like half its content
09:11 ThickAsThieves (the channel's)
09:11 punkman1 psterryl: congratulations, you've removed all doubt
09:12 psterryl yeah im new on here so still working out who is insightful and who's just a dick
09:12 ThickAsThieves http://stats.bitcoin-assets.com/
09:12 ozbot #bitcoin-assets stats
09:12 psterryl at first i thought mp was the former but starting to think latter
09:12 chetty here the dick is the insightful
09:12 artifexd Those qualities are not mutually exclusive.
09:12 psterryl i think that says a lot about the bitcoin community
09:12 VanCleef psterryl i think this might help - https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080602010632AAlnmTB
09:13 psterryl oh wow vancleef
09:13 psterryl such insight
09:13 psterryl many revelation
09:13 ThickAsThieves also "mean" and "dick" are emotional observations
09:13 ThickAsThieves not quite applicable to substance
09:13 mircea_popescu VanCleef i thought the freudian/jungian approach was poo = moneys.
09:13 VanCleef that would be good
09:14 VanCleef i had to check my pants before when i woke up
09:14 ThickAsThieves the life a monkey!
09:14 mircea_popescu haha
09:14 psterryl true but when someone makes a blanket statement that not everyone is entitled to their own opinion
09:14 psterryl it suddenly becomes much harder to take them seriously
09:14 psterryl even idiots are entited to an opinion
09:14 psterryl it might be subjectively wrong in my eyes
09:14 psterryl but doesnt mean they're not entiteld to it
09:14 ThickAsThieves i dunno
09:15 ThickAsThieves did you bother asking why?
09:15 ThickAsThieves maybe he has logic behind his claims
09:15 ThickAsThieves you never felt like some people's opinion's dont deserve the weight they carry
09:15 ThickAsThieves ?
09:15 psterryl of course
09:15 psterryl but they're still entitled to that opinion
09:15 psterryl despite my personal views of it
09:16 ThickAsThieves or like the people that are most likely to say "everyone is entitled to their own opinion" are the least likely to have opinions worth considering?
09:16 psterryl well
09:16 psterryl that may be your opinion
09:16 ThickAsThieves it's customer-is-always-right syndrome
09:16 psterryl and you're totally entitled to it
09:17 psterryl but i personally disagree
09:17 ThickAsThieves maybe the issue mp has is with entitlement itself
09:17 ThickAsThieves not the craziest thing to challenge
09:18 VanCleef anyone have a youtube vid of a robot that's better than asimo?
09:18 psterryl that's a possibility
09:19 psterryl but saying that someone has to prove their intelligence before they're allowed an opinion
09:19 psterryl seems like a fairly entitled stance
09:19 psterryl so maybe it's a self-loathing issue
09:20 ThickAsThieves if you think mp is self-loathing, you have not read much from him
09:20 psterryl like i said i'm new here
09:20 VanCleef stocks are like women....once they lose their value you dump them
09:21 ThickAsThieves VanCleef, in that example, isnt better to dump them before they lose value?
09:21 VanCleef yes but like with women investors get emotionally involved and dont know when to let go
09:22 VanCleef this is the problem psterryl is having with neobee atm
09:22 ThickAsThieves a bit of a generalization, but i hear ya
09:24 pankkake I thought the limit for women was clear, dump when the age doesn't end in teen
09:24 psterryl and sometimes people bring a relationship back from the rocks and go on to have long and fulfilling times together
09:25 mircea_popescu why not just dump them when they get annoying, age-irrespective ?
09:26 pankkake wait there are non-annoying women?!
09:26 mircea_popescu yeah!
09:26 pankkake that didn't use to be a man?
09:26 mircea_popescu see, if you dump them when they get 20 you're stuck with a bunch of annoying teens
09:26 mircea_popescu if you dump them when they get annoying you're stuck with a bunch of pleasant women.
09:26 chetty hey there are a lot of non-annoying women
09:27 ThickAsThieves maybe you need to write a how to pick up chicks worth picking up blog
09:27 mircea_popescu chetty dated a lot of em ?
09:27 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves that's simple, "have your girls recommend"
09:28 ThickAsThieves my girls?
09:28 ThickAsThieves like exes?
09:28 mircea_popescu uh
09:28 mircea_popescu no, because as per previous exes are annoying
09:28 ThickAsThieves slaves?
09:28 ThickAsThieves mom?
09:28 mircea_popescu well slaves if you keep slaves, girlfriends, w/e you got
09:28 mircea_popescu lol mom. not mom, it works better if you've been intimate. what's urmom know.
09:29 ThickAsThieves so ask your gf to recommend a new gf?
09:29 ThickAsThieves lol
09:29 mircea_popescu then again... deep south... maybe i shouldn't assume
09:29 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves definitely.

09:29 ThickAsThieves "I'm sorry baby, it's just not working out. Got any referrals?"
09:29 mircea_popescu well you can't dump her
09:29 mircea_popescu she's not being annoying is she.
09:30 ThickAsThieves you gotta hold our collective hand a little hear
09:30 ThickAsThieves here*
09:30 ThickAsThieves cant find the thread
09:30 mircea_popescu i am more than willing to continue answering q's.
09:30 mircea_popescu tis not annoying or anything :D
09:31 ThickAsThieves i'll rephrase
09:31 ThickAsThieves shooting in the dark is annoying too
09:32 ThickAsThieves so far it seems you want a man to ask his not-annoying gf for recommendations
09:32 mircea_popescu gfs
09:32 chetty where is your sense of adventure?
09:32 mircea_popescu it's unlikely a single girl can do much for oyu.
09:32 ThickAsThieves so we need to rewind to where you suggest a man generally keep multiple gfs
09:33 mircea_popescu a man does generally keep multiple gfs.
09:33 Hi all - you guys are golden. Asssets/scams/2c psychology/women advice etc :) (back to lurking)
09:33 ThickAsThieves the kind he fucks?
09:33 Diablo-D3 lol
09:33 ThickAsThieves or the kind he'll talk to?
09:33 mircea_popescu [KS] hugs and kisses to you too
09:33 * Diablo-D3 has kept multiple gfs.
09:33 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves yes the kind he fucks.
09:34 ThickAsThieves anytime i've attempted as much it felt more like being a triple agent than anything
09:34 mircea_popescu this "lifetime monogamy" thing is a very narrow edge case of human sexual and intimate practice.
09:34 mircea_popescu both historical and geographical.
09:34 ThickAsThieves the more they know about each other the more crazy they behave
09:34 mircea_popescu if they do dump em.
09:34 ThickAsThieves i see
09:34 mircea_popescu as per annoying rule.
09:34 ThickAsThieves heh
09:34 ThickAsThieves so simple!
09:34 mircea_popescu indeed.
09:34 mircea_popescu turns out red wire was there all along :)
09:35 ThickAsThieves and should man tolerate the reverse?
09:35 mircea_popescu up to him.
09:35 ThickAsThieves whether ity annoys him
09:35 ThickAsThieves still works i guess
09:35 mircea_popescu indeed.
09:36 mircea_popescu btw, quick question : einstein had a) no girlfriend ; b) one girlfriend c) two girlfriends or d) thirteen girlfriends.
09:36 ThickAsThieves a?
09:36 ThickAsThieves i'm going with intelligence is a burden
09:37 ThickAsThieves "Albert Einstein had half a dozen girlfriends and told his wife they showered him with "unwanted" affection, according to letters released "
09:37 mircea_popescu :p
09:37 Diablo-D3 #smartpeopleproblems
09:38 ThickAsThieves he married his cousin too
09:38 Diablo-D3 second cousin
09:38 kakobrekla did he also eat the neighbors dog?
09:38 kakobrekla smart people problems.
09:39 mircea_popescu kakobrekla no, but reports show he occasionally ate the neighbour's bitch.
09:39 kakobrekla you bitch.
09:40 mircea_popescu now to fully establish the other extreme, since nobody seems inclined, we return to scriptae :
09:41 mircea_popescu It's unfair to quote a 5 year old article but if Alone still believes _that_ analysis has validity...he's missed the forest of leeching for the victimized and disinterested trees. Many women invest their entire lives in what amounts to brazen fraud conducted and perfected to "catch" a guy who is then trapped with no idea how cruelly he's been setup.
09:41 mircea_popescu Guys lose interest. And women, who hated sex remember (they're not that type of girl), suddenly give the con away. It boils down to this; what are they bringing to the party?
09:41 mircea_popescu Emotional poison, lies, some shitty repetitive sex (I'll be more romantic when those who believe in the lie that is exclusivity eat the same meal for the rest of their lives), surrogate services, shitty cooking...It doesn't matter that I'm grossly making crude generalizations. I'm right.
09:41 mircea_popescu And the market agrees with me. Alone missed it. Porn is a better product. If girls want to compete maybe they should get real? Virtual honesty v Virtual Deceit? This is economics. No need for hysterics or water works or expressed feelings. Awwh.
09:41 mircea_popescu now THIS is self loathing.
09:42 ThickAsThieves written by a woman?

09:43 mircea_popescu some guy presumably.
09:44 ThickAsThieves or so he'd like us to believe
09:44 mircea_popescu i'll give this much credit to the entire progressive movement : while in the 50s there in fact existed schools and other torture implements dedicated to reforming otherwise decent, healthy and loving human beings into the sort of very sad victims of abuse described there,
09:44 mircea_popescu it's rare now.
09:44 mircea_popescu so rare that extant examples are almost fascinating for reason of that rarity.
09:45 ThickAsThieves i imagine dating in your 30s in 40s these days is pretty much all online websites now?
09:45 chetty huh? Looks like more of those schools out there, just different rules
09:45 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves betas shower the websites, alphas let the girls suggest girls for the club.
09:45 mircea_popescu chetty how you mean ?
09:45 mircea_popescu and in completely different yet very related news, "The problem, as the president explained it, is that Putin doesnĀ’t understand how the world is supposed to work"
09:46 ThickAsThieves projection?
09:46 mircea_popescu inching along towards the "putin doesn't give a shit about the way i think the world should work"
09:46 chetty wiht 'leaders' like that no wonder world is such a mess
09:46 mircea_popescu after which, "putin is satan"

09:56 mircea_popescu nicknode_ http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-03-2014#591212
09:56 mircea_popescu you don't have to pay anything, unless you're reading a lot of trilema. then it's like i don't recall, .1 cents ?
09:57 ThickAsThieves how will we protect ATC from such a fate?
09:58 mircea_popescu this is a pretty good q.
09:58 kakobrekla merged mining with btc :(
09:58 mircea_popescu my own thinking is that if we keep a reasonable floor under it it'll never be productive
09:59 ThickAsThieves i dont think it could be protected really
09:59 mircea_popescu in general the best way to reduce irrational behaviour is to control volatility.
09:59 mircea_popescu kinda the original thinking behind central banks at any rate
09:59 ThickAsThieves all it would take is one btc farm to point at it
09:59 kakobrekla go ahead and try to attack 'nmc'
09:59 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves yes, but why would they ? not worth it.
09:59 mircea_popescu kakobrekla what about it ?
10:00 kakobrekla well, its much much harder than atc
10:00 ThickAsThieves so basically we cant let it bubble either
10:00 ThickAsThieves or itll draw attention
10:00 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves indeed. this baby will do a bunch if firsts.
10:01 mircea_popescu first altcoin not premined, first altcoin not allowed to bubble, etc.
10:01 ThickAsThieves time for the Altcoin Central Bank to make a trading bot
10:01 mircea_popescu i thought that's why i wrote bingoboingo.
10:01 kakobrekla how can you 'not allow' it to bubble
10:01 mircea_popescu kakobrekla by selling.
10:01 ThickAsThieves yep
10:01 ThickAsThieves large holders need to give it up when it's time
10:01 kakobrekla you cant sell enough if the things wants to bubble
10:01 mircea_popescu try me.
10:02 ThickAsThieves a new floor might be reached in the process
10:02 ThickAsThieves but trying alone will help
10:02 mircea_popescu economy may be a social science, but finance is totally an art.
10:02 kakobrekla its math, i dont need to try you
10:02 mircea_popescu :)
10:03 mircea_popescu math is only the bus ticket taking you to the concert.
10:03 ThickAsThieves "SchellingCoin: A Minimal-Trust Universal Data Feed"
10:03 kakobrekla thats fine, i hate concerts.
10:03 mircea_popescu it's gotten to where i can no longer discern parody from reality.
10:04 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves you made that shit up baby ?
10:04 ThickAsThieves ive said as much before, for years
10:04 ThickAsThieves or are you asking me about SchellingCoin?
10:05 ThickAsThieves it's a fukn Ethereum thing
10:05 ThickAsThieves i cant look at any one line without pain
10:05 ThickAsThieves "The main idea here is called ā€œhedgingā€, and is best explained in the context of Bitcoin"
10:06 mircea_popescu the schelling i was asking about yea

10:07 mircea_popescu lolwut
10:07 mircea_popescu aaahahahaa
10:07 kakobrekla A court in Fort Worth, Texas, has granted a temporary restraining order to freeze the bitcoin wallets of ASIC mining hardware manufacturer HashFast Technologies LLC and HashFast LLC, after a customer claimed it failed to deliver hardware on time or negotiate a refund.
10:07 ThickAsThieves ā€œIt speaks to the legitimacy of cryptocurrencies and a growing understanding of their value and importance to businesses.ā€
10:07 ThickAsThieves the pains
10:07 mircea_popescu The complaint, which has a Background section with the question Ā“What the heck is a Bitcoin?Ā” also contains an attachment of 30 pages of bitcointalk forum discussion detailing the history of the story from July-August 2013.
10:08 mircea_popescu ok, i guess it's announcement time : mpex will not be honoring the forth worth court order, or any similar instrument drawn by any court.
10:08 kakobrekla why so quick to jump the gun on this while bfl can shit in peoples mouth for years now
10:08 mircea_popescu any bitcoins received as specified by mpex will be fully credited to the depositor in any and all circumstances.

10:10 mircea_popescu amusingly enough...
10:11 ThickAsThieves would it be fair to stop assigning a USD value in cases of stolen coins?
10:11 ThickAsThieves 1 btc = 1btc
10:11 ThickAsThieves what is owed is 1 btc
10:11 ThickAsThieves etc
10:11 mircea_popescu in this court, yes.

14:08 mircea_popescu too quickly they think of it for them to not be doing it.
14:08 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: one can buy marine radar domes quite small enough to fit on a car.
14:08 mircea_popescu asciilifeform yeah, but i would imagine a better adjusted thing may be developed.
14:09 mircea_popescu i mean, marine radar is not biased for concrete say
14:09 asciilifeform i vaguely recall that a recent mercedes has radar of some form
14:09 kakobrekla it doesnt work very well

14:12 mircea_popescu that and the tentacles.
14:12 asciilifeform bought out in short order, and in the higher millions << might be a little problem once the car behind/in front/side of yours has emitters
14:13 mircea_popescu asciilifeform no, you polarize the lasers, you use modulated radar, there's solutions
14:13 asciilifeform then you get folks who go 'well, if we're already broadcasting, let's make exact position radio mandatory, like lights'
14:13 kakobrekla mux it to lower band rate?
14:13 mircea_popescu kakobrekla exactly!
14:14 mircea_popescu asciilifeform yeah well, the perennial possibility of idiots does not really constitute a counterargument.
14:14 mircea_popescu i never hear anyone propose abstinence on the grounds that fucking may become obligatory otherwise.
14:14 asciilifeform lol
14:14 mircea_popescu :D
14:14 mircea_popescu and yet it has!
14:14 tg2 I had one idea for a car invention
14:14 asciilifeform anyone recall the widget the americans used in vietnam, that picked up rf noise from cars?
14:15 tg2 Proximity sensors on the end of your doors and hydraulic inhibitors on the door hinges
14:15 tg2 So your door doesn't open into somebody's car
14:15 tg2 it would stop just before
14:15 asciilifeform tg2: that, or rubber bumpers.
14:15 mircea_popescu rubber bumps sounds cheaperr
14:15 tg2 Nope this is sans contact
14:16 tg2 And it stops before
14:16 mircea_popescu if anyone's seen cars in like rome etc... the even cheaper alternative would be "people stop giving a shit about scratches"
14:16 tg2 Not putting rubber door bumpers on my 150,000 merc
14:16 mircea_popescu latin america is like that too
14:16 asciilifeform i've always thought it odd, that no one, lambo or trambo, makes a car with standardized panels for the outside
14:16 asciilifeform which one could unbolt and swap at one's leisure
14:16 mircea_popescu no car contains a flat surface of as much as a square inch
14:17 asciilifeform they needn't be flat and rigid
14:17 tg2 If it can be done with backup proximity sensors
14:17 tg2 That technology is already nature
14:17 tg2 Subsurface too now
14:17 mircea_popescu asciilifeform actually even since the japanese have been working on their female android women replacements, i've been thinking "they'll make cars out of that skin material just as soon as possible"
14:18 asciilifeform lol!
14:18 tg2 They have scratch repairing paint already
14:18 tg2 nissan invented it
14:18 asciilifeform anyone have the ancient link to the piece re: korean students who go through 2-3 of the 'androids' per year?
14:18 moiety they need robot women replacements with all the people like karpeles going over and buying their women
14:19 mircea_popescu moiety think about all the time this is saving you.
14:19 mircea_popescu kitchen robots were nothing.
14:20 * moiety is happy with a toaster, you know this ;P
14:21 mircea_popescu "even a blind toaster can pinch a careless nipple", or how did that russian proverb go
14:22 asciilifeform 'Social skills will decline markedly after the advent of sex robots, much like the way electronic calculators degraded arithmetic skills. Because sex robots will finally allow men to be themselves. This will make men even less desirable to real women than they are already, driving men to seek solace with sex robots even more. The cycle will be vicious and I canĀ’t wait for it to start.'

14:23 moiety i dont know any russian proverbs unless manuls are involved
14:25 mircea_popescu i dunno about that, tbh. if anything, it'll remove a lot of pressure to perform from the mishoden, dysfunctional male humans, which'll make it so much better for the healthy.
14:25 asciilifeform 'Some women might, however, choose to coexist with sexbots, just as some European women as they get older tolerate their husbands taking up with younger mistresses. The aging wife gets to keep her status and her stable home. She has all the trappings of marriage, but she no longer functions as her husbandĀ’s sexual outlet.'

14:28 moiety wait, can i has a crossbow?
14:28 mircea_popescu ThickAsThieves well it also depends on the application imo
14:28 asciilifeform 'The in-laws wonĀ’t be as much of a problem either because the male in-laws will be preoccupied with sexbots of their own, therefore they will have less time on their hands to spend meddling in the lives of their relatives. At family gatherings, the men will gather around to trade sexbot programs, while the women will gather to complain about the menĀ’s sexbots. Or may women will play with their catbots and
14:28 asciilifeform be happy, while their Oprah-bots listen to them talk about their problems and simulate interest.'

14:36 asciilifeform 'If the worldĀ’s most beautiful women want to be gold-diggers, thatĀ’s their right. It doesnĀ’t Ā“humiliateĀ” me. It merely establishes what I would have to obtain (namely, wealth and fame) if I wanted to bang some of those women. The actual women, that is. Technology may provide an easier alternative. And a more intellectually satisfying alternative too.'
14:36 asciilifeform 'ItĀ’s interesting to consider which genderĀ’s ideal can be realized first with technology. It should be a lot easier for technology to simulate Howard SternĀ’s girlfriend (for the satisfaction of men) than for technology to simulate Howard Stern (for the satisfaction of women). With Howard Stern, the salient feature is the success, and the relative status. If every man had a $500 million satellite radio co

14:36 asciilifeform With Howard SternĀ’s girlfriend, the salient features are absolute: her looks and her receptive behavior. If every woman looked similarly good, and behaved as adoringly toward the average working stiff, they would still look good. (A man can test this hypothesis by viewing photographs of thousands of attractive women. Even after massive, pervasive exposure, they still look good. In fact, pornography can be un

17:37 lnovy i god, i'm laughting like hell...
17:38 mircea_popescu hey, did i ever tell you folks about the one time i got kicked out of a gay club ?
17:38 mircea_popescu which is also the only time i ever got kicked out of anywhere, club or anything else.
17:38 mircea_popescu i didn't torch the place in revenge, either.
17:39 jurov what did you do there?
17:40 mircea_popescu what one normally does in a club. drank and yelled at people.
17:40 mircea_popescu what do you want me to do, dance ?!
17:40 jurov lol i was not asking that in accusatory manner
17:41 tg2 http://www.reddit.com/r/litecoinmining/comments/21o422/future_of_scrypt_gpu_and_asic/cgf6o1k
17:41 tg2 sneaky knc
17:41 tg2 can't say I blame them tho
17:42 tg2 I got thrown out of a club once with a $8000 tab
17:42 tg2 I just went home
17:42 tg2 lol
17:42 tg2 chepest night in a club so far
17:42 tg2 the promoter called me back for 2 weeks after crying and begging me to come back
17:43 mircea_popescu they're too noobish around here to actualy have promoters.
17:43 tg2 montreal has a huge club scene
17:43 tg2 probably more clubs per capita than anywhere I know
17:43 mircea_popescu timisoara is roughly speaking a smaller akron, ohio.
17:43 tg2 sounds.... exciting
17:43 tg2 lol
17:44 mircea_popescu well let's put it this way... in an actual town ever working class cunts can have fun.
17:45 mircea_popescu it takes a real hellhole to really select the funhavers.
17:45 tg2 http://www.renting-tm.ro/sites/default/files/media/sliders/c2.jpg
17:45 tg2 your women look very slavic
17:45 tg2 is romania even considered slavic?
17:46 tg2 I know that ukrain, serbia bulgaria are
17:46 mircea_popescu nah.
17:46 asciilifeform Ro has, what, 5+ ethnic groups ?
17:46 tg2 (oops, i mean... southeastern russia, lol)
17:46 tg2 but, all sides of it are slavic...
17:46 mircea_popescu it's ~85% romanian, some hungarian, trace other dozen or so elements
17:47 mircea_popescu i have no idea how you figure those women look "Slavic"
17:47 tg2 only by hungary is it not slavic
17:47 tg2 cheek structure
17:47 asciilifeform the gypsies (any left in Ro?) aren't the least bit slavic
17:47 tg2 high pointy cheeks
17:47 tg2 lol gypsies
17:47 mircea_popescu asciilifeform some, yeah. a mil or so.
17:48 mircea_popescu for one thing, "slavic" would be blonde.
17:48 mircea_popescu anyway, i'll bbl we can continue teh racism then.

17:58 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: servers that are rebooted are not really the same servers anymore << i bet i'm not the only one who wonders why kernel-in-ROM never caught on
17:59 asciilifeform (naturally, rom with physical switch for write-enable)
18:00 asciilifeform one reason might be that pc architecture, almost always by default, 'shadows' roms
18:00 asciilifeform that is, copies them to cacheable RAM on boot
18:00 asciilifeform (executing from rom, esp. the 'serial' 8-legged variety, is dog-slow)
18:00 jurov i bought such mobo with dual bios
18:00 jurov but never actually tried it
18:01 jurov ( gigabyte )
18:01 asciilifeform typically these have a toggle that moves the clock/data line from 1 serial rom to another
18:01 asciilifeform for recovering from botched flashes.
18:01 asciilifeform these used to be popular in the wake of the '90s 'chernoble' virus
18:01 asciilifeform but have mostly disappeared
18:01 asciilifeform any serious pc user should own a rom burner anyway
18:02 asciilifeform chinese units are 20-50 usd
18:03 jurov one usually does it once in 5 years... not sure if it's worth the occupied space
18:03 asciilifeform space?! they're pocket-sized
18:03 asciilifeform or you meant, on the board
18:04 jurov yes i meant... hundred pocket sized gizmos to be used once in 5 yrs + cables = several boxen labeled shit and "more shit"
18:05 jurov it's annoying
18:05 truffles yay shit
18:05 asciilifeform a box with zapped rom is considerably more annoying, imho
18:05 asciilifeform if buying a rom burner, helps to get the kind that takes SOIC-8 socket adapters, for laptop flash

22:23 kanzure phantomjs is actually using an ancient version of webkit
22:23 kanzure i highly recommend using recent webkit and just use the gobject bindings
22:23 kanzure for example: https://gist.github.com/kanzure/6581415
22:24 kanzure (context: i've contributed to phantomjs)
22:29 tg2 Can it be run without x?

22:32 MisterE Breaking news on the missing plane, still nothing found...
22:32 assbot [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 2 @ 0.069898 = 0.1398 BTC [-]
22:33 kanzure tg2: technically no, webkigtk+ requires X unless you find a way to get gtk running without x.. there used to be a way with cairo but nobody seems to care anymore.
22:34 kanzure tg2: however, running X headlessly is not hugely problematic these days because of xserver-xorg-video-dummy
22:35 kanzure tg2: and i would say the advantages of running modern webkit far outweigh the troubles with running X... you get Function.prototype.bind :)
22:37 kanzure even when phantomjs2 comes out in the next few months i would recommend caution because the dependency on qtwebki from a qt release means that you're waiting multiple months for bugfixes to get into phantomjs (so far webkit updates are so far behind it's sad)
22:38 kanzure e.g. it's not just qtwebkit but it's a qt-release that includes a release of qtwebkit which includes a release of webkit. but the real thing you care about is webkit!
