00:19 moiety this stupid slenderman crap is going to be made into some crap film at some point, wont it
00:20 moiety *grumble*
00:20 asciilifeform slenderman?
00:20 asciilifeform movie hero? fits through cracks, crevices?
00:21 moiety there is 2 x 12 year olds who planned to kill their friend for months, blaming it on slenderman being real
00:21 moiety i'm not actually sure, article just says he can make tendrils with is fingers and back
00:21 moiety i think its a game though
00:22 * asciilifeform is rather behind culturally, never heard of this
00:22 Vexual ask pankakke
00:22 BingoBoingo Slenderman is one of those mythical stories invented on SA/b/reddit not really worth reading.
00:23 moiety asciilifeform: http://www.jsonline.com/news/crime/waukesha-police-2-12-year-old-girls-plotted-for-months-to-kill-friend-b99282655z1-261534171.html
00:23 assbot Charges detail Waukesha pre-teens' attempt to kill classmate
00:23 BingoBoingo Slenderman is basically a novelization of Usagi's nightmares about MP
00:24 asciilifeform '...was stabbed 19 times by either Geyser or Weier or both' << interesting
00:24 moiety oh so it wasn't originally a game.
00:24 asciilifeform how does court decide how many/each.
00:24 asciilifeform what if 0/19
00:24 asciilifeform or 19/0
00:24 BingoBoingo moiety: It was a story
00:25 BingoBoingo Basically whitekid fear experience after first seeing not famous NBA players in person
00:25 moiety lol it was actually all the birthday girl asciilifeform she has told police she thought her friend had already begun [which makes no sense considering the friend had told her she was too squeamish by this point]
00:26 moiety which is how she got back to being the one with the blade
00:27 BingoBoingo What I want to know is why the Biology teacher isn't being charged with neglegence

00:28 Vexual aye
00:28 asciilifeform children of reddit, can't even be arsed to stab properly
00:29 moiety they are too busy being hip
00:29 BingoBoingo Also, stabbing is the problem. Slashing offer a better chance at exsanguination, unless perpetrator is a surgeon.
00:29 moiety these wee chicks have nothing ont he wee girls from last year though, well the one that stabbed her sister
00:29 * asciilifeform wonders if the cops will make the gurlz play 'prisoner's dilemma' if it cannot be proven which one stabbed
00:29 moiety on the*
00:30 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: I doubt the cops are aware of that game
00:30 asciilifeform perhaps not under that name

00:33 BingoBoingo Wiscunts have this delusion where they imagine they are to Chicago what the Hamptons are to New York
00:35 BingoBoingo In reality neither Chicago nor Wiconson have hooks in the bezzel to support such delusions
00:35 asciilifeform unwritten u.s. law - no house anywhere near a city, with working plumbing, not in 'live fire zone', etc. will be sold for 'pocket money' to a human (i.e. sans mortgage chumpatron)
00:35 asciilifeform the bezzlers would much rather let the copper thieves pick it clean.
00:36 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: In StL brick theives have priority. They make the judgement on the property's fate and in very Missouri way the vacant land gets corn in the name of "urban agriculture"

00:41 BingoBoingo Monsanto and Urban Corn share a home for a reason
00:41 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: point being, a liveable house, as popularly imagined in usa, will never cost what laptop, or even car, costs - if the authorities have to burn 99% of them to maintain this condition, they will.

00:44 asciilifeform the actual 'free market' price of a u.s. suburban house, if none of this were happening, is probably close to $10k (number pulled from my arse)
00:45 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Around here there are livable houses near $40k in decent towns
00:45 Vexual ill think youll find the free market price is what it sells for
00:45 asciilifeform Vexual: see the supply cartel discussion above
00:45 BingoBoingo In StL proper you find Sub $5k houses without buyers, because Oh noes, negros!
00:46 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: only answer is, nothing within driving distance employs folks who could afford the land tax.
00:47 asciilifeform otherwise someone - negro, martian, whoever - would live there.
00:47 * BingoBoingo has a brother renting a house he could buy with a year's rent. He doesn't buy because of the burden of unloading it later
00:47 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: That is the flip side of the problem
00:47 dub this is clearly why minimum wage is an evil communist plot
00:47 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: i pay roughly 2x in rent what the box i'm in would cost, monthly, if 'bought'
00:48 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: this is thought to be a reasonably good deal, too, around here.
00:48 BingoBoingo dub: People in the "city" don't get "wages" they get SSI

04:26 davout Naphex: no i didn't, it's on the backburner currently
04:26 Naphex also why would someone just roll another fast interface when they can roll a high performance i/o protobuf one
04:26 Naphex and just sell that mass improved
04:28 Naphex i'm working on a realtime protobuf interface for trading, with incremental streamed updates and realtime orders.

04:31 fluffypony davout: how's the rebranding goign?
04:31 fluffypony *going
04:32 davout it's scheduled, the UI designer is going crazy :D
04:37 Naphex what's he going crazy about?
04:38 Naphex just change Bitcoin-Central to Paymium on front page, and you're about done :P
04:38 davout too easy
04:38 davout since we're launching merchant services at about the same time and that we're going to have a single landing page it needs some lifting
04:39 Naphex you're doing merchant services / exchange under the same platform?
04:39 Naphex won't it clutter up with all the merchant features?
04:40 davout you mean on the front page ?
04:40 Naphex no i mean just in general, the code the platform etc
04:41 Naphex i mean we're working on finalizing the payment/merchant gateway as well. but we're building them as separate projects to avoid clutter
04:41 Naphex and unifing the wallets so they can interlink
04:41 davout the interlink code could count as clutter as well
04:41 Naphex then BTCXPay for payments / BTXChange for trading/exchanging
04:41 Naphex well interlink code is needed anyway, for wallet apps and the rest
04:41 davout you don't do the exchanging ?
04:41 Naphex so atleast they share same wallet/account
04:42 davout i mean can't a merchant request to be paid 12.34 EUR and receive exactly that ?
04:42 Naphex he can
04:42 Naphex but the merchant services will be a whole differnt app with merchant in mind, and all the features that come with merchant gateways
04:43 davout i like the idea of having a single app to maintain
04:43 Naphex i think exchange / payment services are too big fields too keep under same app
04:43 davout also, a lot of code to check for incoming payments and track them properly is shared
04:43 davout the money flows are managed in a unified process
04:44 Naphex probably but that opens a whole lot of room, for vulnerabilities, bugs, spaghetti code, maintainance problems
04:44 Naphex and a lot of clutter in a big app
04:44 xmj mm.
04:44 xmj Naphex: what language do you write that one in?
04:44 Naphex since merchant are going too need merchant reports, invoice listings, button generators, cart generators, apis and plugins to intergrate in popular ecommerce platforms
04:45 davout Naphex: i don't think splitting apps would make it less vulnerable, on the contrary, having only one attack surface is easier to manage
04:45 Naphex xmj: nowadays i usually write standalone java for backends
04:45 davout for the
04:45 fluffypony xmj: Naphex has been plugged directly into his server banks for a while now
04:45 fluffypony so he just thinks in code
04:45 Naphex thats correct ;]
04:45 fluffypony I hear he's switching to Swift after watching the Apple demo on Monday
04:45 davout api for example, we leverage a lot of code that already exists, the extra part is a couple of models and their business logic, the e-commerce plugins are separate ofc
04:46 xmj Naphex: Java seems a popular choice for financial transaction backends
04:46 xmj Naphex: we've developed a p2p credit/lending site, our bank's API connectors are in java.
04:47 Naphex xmj: its pretty lean, fast, threading is a dream and NIO is great and fast and easy to implement
04:47 xmj NIO ?
04:47 xmj non-blocking IO ?
04:47 Naphex then you got really good tools, and profilers and debuggers
04:47 Naphex xmj: yes
04:48 Naphex but i don't use servlets or other middleware, so there's that.
04:48 xmj ah
04:48 xmj matter of taste i guess.
04:48 Naphex speed
04:48 xmj I really really like Python, because it's legible and fast to write prototypes in.
04:49 xmj By the time you have serious scaling issues, you can always write things in Cython.
04:49 Naphex python's not bad. twisted python is perty okay
04:49 xmj or C. or C++.
04:49 Naphex yep
04:49 xmj (though, I can't write C. yet.)
04:49 Naphex i do the same in jave, write JNI if there are bottlenecks or too slow performing native functions
04:50 Naphex but rarely i have to do that for backends, as in hardware nowadays is too fast to care
04:50 Naphex but i have done a lot of that for embedded and it worked out very nice
04:51 xmj cool
04:51 Naphex <+davout> Naphex: i don't think splitting apps would make it less vulnerable, on the contrary, having only one attack surface is easier to manage <<
04:51 Naphex I like my stuff modular, i split a big app into scalable services
04:51 Naphex then interlink
04:51 xmj benefit: you can reuse those parts more easily across customers.
04:52 Naphex now i know services are secure and they stay clean and sharp to the point code
04:52 xmj no need to reinvent wheels if you already have a stack of them.
04:52 Naphex yep
04:52 Naphex so i can have wallet nodes, exchange nodes (which can be split into INSTRUMENT servers)
04:53 davout Naphex: you're bound to have quite some coupling
04:54 Naphex there is no problem with coupling, nodes come out with coupling since start
04:54 davout howso ?
04:54 Naphex and they can handle their duty, wallet nodes can be used by clients to connect and manage their wallets
04:55 Naphex exchange nodes can be accessed to convert the currency
04:55 Naphex and payment nodes to process payments and get auto notifications from them
04:55 Naphex they come up with servicing in mind, and the same way a client hooks up to them web platforms hook up as well
04:55 davout but do you have a single unified domain model ?
04:56 davout yeah, we have that too, the web interface is a module that hooks into the API
04:56 davout it's not built in to the app
04:56 Naphex see, now will that api do payments processing as well in the same big app?
04:56 Naphex or be split into modular nodes
04:56 Naphex which will interlink
04:57 davout there is a blockchain watching process that notifies the models when it sees an incoming payment
04:57 Naphex i just think one big app to handle wallet api, exchange api, payments api might just be too big
04:57 Naphex and eventually you will have to split it to scale
04:58 davout well, look at the trading for example
04:58 davout you can not horizontally scale it
04:58 davout it *has* to be a sequential queue that's processed FIFO
04:58 Naphex yep
04:58 davout how does having it as a separate thing help ?
04:59 Naphex well, the exchange api will be that sequential queue.
04:59 davout i mean, in my case it's a separate process, but it does however leverage a unique domain model
04:59 Naphex but why does it have to also manage the wallets, and record user transactions, and process payments
04:59 Naphex right?
04:59 davout it needs to record transactions
04:59 Naphex because it handles exchange data, and orders, and order queues, and execution
05:00 davout executions result in writes into your accounting, right?
05:00 Naphex and maybe order rules
05:00 Naphex davout: brb gotta eat, continue afteward if you're still on
05:00 davout sure
05:00 Naphex davout: but an exchange transaction != a bitcoin transaction
05:00 Naphex or an exchange transaction != payment transaction
05:00 davout sure, but they all need to be accounted for
05:01 davout they need to go in the ledger, also these transactions may share properties
05:01 davout a lot of code is common between a bitcoin deposit and an invoice bitcoin payment
05:02 davout for example, the service call "monitor bitcoin address xyz for x days" is common between a deposit address creation, and an invoice creation

06:29 dub for UI shit yeah
06:29 pankkake it's just not ergonomic. makes you work a lot with the mouse for nothing
06:30 davout pankkake: i use it everyday, and imo it's the best window management, it never feels like it gets in the way
06:30 davout i keep raging about it each time i use a windows comp, and i don't use gui when i use linux
06:31 davout mostly because i use linux for servers
06:31 davout dub: well, osx is pretty good for ui imo, so i'm happy this way
06:33 davout also, they're finally sucking the bitcoin cock :D
06:33 dub just making an observation, we tend to run close to the front of tech trends over here and it struck me that apple are pretty much invisible outside of mobile
06:33 dub which is a change from last time I thought about it
06:34 pankkake do they really allow bitcoin applications, or is it yet another redditation?
06:35 davout pankkake: well, i pointed out the fact that their new policy didn't mean shit taken on its own, however it appears there are some wallets that are back in
06:35 davout such as coinjar
06:35 davout so, i thought like you, but the facts seem to tell a different story

06:45 cazalla don't you mean zhoujar
06:45 davout o it's ryan's ?
06:45 cazalla yeah
06:46 pankkake well they might not want to allow application that store the private key
06:46 davout pankkake: sounds doubtful
06:47 davout their issue was "facilitating transmission"
06:47 davout we'll see if blockchain gets back
06:47 Naphex they will prolly ban p2p aps
06:47 Naphex as they ban torrent apps a well
06:47 Naphex so no Mycelium or thin clients
06:47 davout p2p what? trading?
06:48 Naphex Peer2Peer wallets, that connect to bitcoin network and do SPV
06:48 Naphex so only centralized single source wallets
06:52 davout the idea that they'll make a difference isn't supported by any facts so far
06:52 Naphex well.. blockchain is down yet mycelium works
06:52 Naphex so anyone who tried to use blockchain.info in the last i dunno 5-6 hours
06:52 Naphex got erros
06:52 Naphex while mycelium worked fine. that will make a difference every time there is a service failure
06:54 davout no, the idea that they will categorize applications based on whether or not they store the keys, or rely on a central service
06:55 davout is supported neither by their policy, nor by factual experience

08:38 Naphex is it just hashed and you check hash or you keep serverside session?
08:38 mircea_popescu no sessions.
08:39 Naphex so just hash(remote_addr+salt+pw) in /set-cookie.php

10:12 fluffypony and it will have a fluffy logo
10:12 fluffypony which will be a feature
10:12 fluffypony also it'll be written in Swift because that's a modern language
10:12 moiety omg you have to make physical coins fluffy too
10:12 fluffypony heh heh
10:13 moiety i wonder how things would be with bitcoin today if all this time and energy thats been spent on alts had been focussed on btc
10:15 fluffypony the problem is that much of the time and energy has been spent by people that aren't really on "that level", so if they focused on BTC instead we'd just see more shitty copies of exchanges / gambling sites etc.
10:15 fluffypony and about a billion dumb features submitted as pull requests
10:15 mircea_popescu fluffypony, you can't merge ltc with atc, one's scrypt
10:16 fluffypony mircea_popescu: no no, FluffyCoin and ManulCoin will merge-mine with ATC
10:16 mircea_popescu <moiety> omg you have to make physical coins fluffy too << coins made out of shag.
10:16 mircea_popescu swag!
10:16 mircea_popescu <moiety> i wonder how things would be with bitcoin today if all this time and energy thats been spent on alts had been focussed on btc << not noticeably different.
10:17 mircea_popescu you know, just like where opera would be if all the time spent derping around counterstrike were spent "singing"
10:17 mircea_popescu exactly what fluffy says.
10:18 TomServo "You buy Doge for the community not as an investment."
10:18 pankkake merge mining is one of the few things that would make me take an altcoin seriously

10:25 mircea_popescu hm.. all the #b-a blogs should charge the same credits, spend them to read the other blogs, get them when people read your blog. talk about a circle jerk. << zipf would put a rapid end to that methinks.
10:27 mircea_popescu anyway, there's definitely some future in the blog credits thing.
10:27 mircea_popescu prolly too soon to know how it looks.
10:28 mircea_popescu well since i'm reading the logs, i'd like to take a minute and dissect the stupidity of "xmj: mike_c: not if he dislikes my stating how it is."

10:39 mircea_popescu anywyay, i was interrupted in the middle of spamming. let's continue.
10:39 mircea_popescu this is usually the result of mediocre brains strained through the us college system. they end up with the expectation that any conceptual category has a practical counterpart.
10:40 mircea_popescu and so there IS such a thing as "start-ups" in the same sense there actually is a thing called new york.
10:40 mircea_popescu second off, and much more worrisome, the bizarre notion that there's safety in banality, to wit, that one can't fuck up by doing what "everyone" is doing.
10:40 mircea_popescu this is exactly counter to what a startup is even for. this is ibm think.
10:40 mircea_popescu there's simply no way he ends up any other way than bleeding in a ditch somewhere, with a pilum in his penis.
10:40 mircea_popescu oviously in real reality start-ups are not the derps that go to "start-up dinners", but exactly the guys that don't
10:41 mircea_popescu and similarly, start-ups aren't the guys that do what everyone else does, but exactly the guys that don't.
10:41 mircea_popescu ;;later tell bitcoinpete: http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2014-06/03/silk-road-study << this is precisely why they wanted that "murder solicitation" thing in there so bad. and... they got it. because, bitcoin jesuses.

Not only were the people a bunch of pretentious cocks that have never done anything successful in their lives (except circlejerk around all the cool synergies they can have with other start-ups), but the "speakers" (while eloquent and with beautiful Jobs-like presentations) espoused utterly inane notions that have no basis in reality and mostly have to do with spending stupid amounts of money

10:59 mircea_popescu fluffypony:
10:59 mircea_popescu code has failed in production we'll shut the startup down, start a new one, buy the old one out, and then repeat. We call this Multi Startup Synergistic Prefailure, and it's inspired by the work of Tsukino Usagi. << you know it's pretty much how this crap works irl.
10:59 mircea_popescu princessnell: bitcoinpete i almost did the same and went into law. dodged a bullet there! << what's so bad about law ?
10:59 mircea_popescu princessnell,
10:59 fluffypony mircea_popescu: that's the beauty of it...now if we add an IPO stage in the middle, we can make several HUNDREDS of Dollars!
10:59 fluffypony worth it.
11:00 princessnell mircea_popescu well there's a huge legal bubble in the us rite now
11:00 mircea_popescu fluffypony, you may underestimate the bezzle. what's whatsapp sell for i forget ? 50 trillion ?
11:00 fluffypony true
11:00 fluffypony despite what u-sage usagi thinks, I'm clearly a shitty scammer
11:00 fluffypony I need to up my scamgame
11:00 mircea_popescu princessnell, as in too many duke grads unemployed to the point you get idjits a la tucker max writing "novels" and then moving on to "financial advicering" ?
11:01 princessnell that's the spectacle. then there's the masses of subprime borrowers who went to shit tier law schools and now work as glorified file clerks at an hourly wage.
11:01 mircea_popescu but my point was not about the direct practical application
11:02 mircea_popescu my point is more that if you aspire to not be fucking stupid, pretty much the best avenue in the us colleges today is law.
11:02 mircea_popescu granted this doesn't justify the tuition. but then again i've yet to meet the person that studied law and was worse for the wear for it.
11:02 princessnell why do you think that?
11:03 mircea_popescu which one
11:03 princessnell ah
11:04 princessnell "the best avenue" idk i'm biased but i'd have to go with economics or math or even logic/philosophy
11:04 mircea_popescu there's nobody aliv ein the us qualified to teach philosophy to any degree.
11:04 princessnell "studying the law" here = "memorizing administrative case law"
11:04 mircea_popescu math is a prime tool of making one stupid, even in sane places (such as the soviet union)
11:04 mircea_popescu ya well not that.
11:05 princessnell point is i think on the whole the fields i mentioned equip you with better mental models than most law programs
11:05 mircea_popescu i suppose the start-up approach to studying law in the us is getting a small apt close to the campus of a good law school and fucking all the older profs for free.
11:06 mircea_popescu rent way cheaper than tuition, results way better than degree,
11:06 mircea_popescu more fun all through.
11:06 mircea_popescu well, we may be talking at cross purposes, let me try and model the difference.
11:06 princessnell ha. but then you don't get a sheepskin.
11:07 mircea_popescu suppose there's a land, and under this land water table, and above names of places.
11:07 mircea_popescu how deep to the water table is perhaps what you're discussing, whereas how much water in that spot at all is maybe what i',m saying.

11:10 fluffypony mircea_popescu: was a prefix to a thought ;)
11:11 Mats_cd03 imo physics is the most valuable
11:11 mircea_popescu princessnell, it can;t ever be right.
11:11 mircea_popescu Mats_cd03, has a good point, physics i agree is very very close. for exactly the same reason
11:11 mircea_popescu physics can also never be right.
11:11 Mats_cd03 reasoning from first principles and so forth
11:13 mircea_popescu bitcoinpete: mike_c: didn't know that about altcoin… i don't know why i thought it was a costlier project << nah, thickasthieves was running lean at the time :D
11:14 princessnell i think that's right but i unfortunately don't think that's the approach that us law schools take. anyways i deal a lot with law through economics so i can have it all.
11:14 mircea_popescu yeah that's the thing, it never goes away anyway, so...

11:27 mike_c not to mention more than existed at the time.
11:27 mircea_popescu fluffypony, at the time there were about 9.5mn in total in existence, of which ~1mn still locked as today

11:28 mircea_popescu it would help if the people covering the most important thing happening in the world these years would be at leas tconversant in its basicsa
11:29 mircea_popescu mike_c, i guess the sane construction here is they're paying about 100mn to the various manuf etc to make their chips, and they expect to mine 200mn worth of btc
11:29 mircea_popescu seems a scary tight margin put in those terms, but who knows.
11:31 mircea_popescu also seems they have no intention to even try doing amortisation accounting on the mining rigs

11:35 mike_c physical machines seem like a tangible asset
11:35 mircea_popescu they indeed seem that way.
11:35 mircea_popescu but why would they be ?
11:35 benkay remember the conversation about the s.mg server?
11:35 mircea_popescu a dream machine made out of a block of obsidian is tangible too ?
11:35 mircea_popescu benkay, no ?
11:36 benkay there was a minor dust-up over the semantics of renting v owning.
11:36 mircea_popescu aa that yes.
11:36 mircea_popescu mike_c, consider one of the safeguards is used and bricks a generation of asics.
11:36 mircea_popescu they're just as tangible now than before, what are they worth ?
11:36 mike_c nothing.
11:36 mircea_popescu this seems to me to fly in the face of the ~fundamental~ point of tangibility
11:37 mircea_popescu granted that the form of it favours your interpretation
11:37 mike_c tangible assets are always overstated in value though
11:37 mircea_popescu but all in all this is a fine example of why i said in the past that bitcoin fucks everything up. it ruined the notion of bonds similarly.
11:37 benkay i had a hilarious experience last night

12:07 benkay i just learned about the doge "soak"
12:09 benkay re: gay bakery - don't ever tell anyone why you're refusing to do business with them. 'this just isn't a good deal for me. thanks for your interest.'
12:10 danielpbarron ^ ++
12:11 mike_c that doesn't work for a bakery. you can't serve 10 customers cake and then tell the black guy "this isn't a good deal for me".
12:11 danielpbarron "i'm all out of cake"
12:12 benkay there are just so many ways to do it, though mike_c
12:12 benkay 10x the normal rate
12:12 benkay 100x the normal rate
12:12 danielpbarron i'd just make the homos their stupid cake and then tweet about how homosexuals should be stoned to death later that night
12:12 mike_c and why are you changing the rate? because the guy is gay? doesn't work.
12:13 benkay changing what rate? each customer only sees their own quote
12:13 benkay unless of course you're publishing prices
12:13 benkay for custom work
12:14 mike_c meh, i don't think it works irl. just make the guy a cake. wtf does the baker care? you don't go to hell for making gay cakes.
12:14 benkay but you go to the gulag for saying "naw faggot get out"
12:14 mike_c yeah, so?
12:14 mircea_popescu mike_c, pretty good lol

12:17 danielpbarron how can you even tell the cake is for a gay wedding? i'm guess it has two groom figurines on the top; is it against the law to have a rule that no cake may have two male figurines on top?
12:17 danielpbarron or "the customer must buy the figurines separately and apply them himself"
12:17 TomServo Isn't the real humor re: the gay cake the fact that this ruling occurred in a state in which gay marriage is illegal?
12:18 Mats_cd03 that war chest needs about three more zeros to make a difference

12:18 mike_c danielpbarron: you going to have a rule against black figurines on your cakes too?
12:19 danielpbarron mike_c, I wouldn't, but would that be illegal?
12:19 mircea_popescu asciilifeform, i wonder if this is how usagi backups
12:19 mike_c is discrimination illegal? generally, yes.
12:20 mircea_popescu discrimination can't be illegal.
12:20 danielpbarron how is that discrimination? the rule isn't no black customers; it's no black figurines
12:20 mircea_popescu lol the kid shows promise
12:20 chetty well its the {must have sensitiveity training' that gets me
12:20 benkay wait hang on i figured it out
12:21 benkay "don't transact with the masses"
12:21 asciilifeform 'GET /backups/'..., 'GET /btc/'..., 'GET /safe/'..., 'GET /backup.zip'..., 'GET /.svn/entries' << lol!
12:21 mircea_popescu danielpbarron, it will be argued that it is in fact discriminatory on the racist presumption that it disproportionately affects black customers, as if they absolutely have to have black figurines on their wedding cake.
12:21 mircea_popescu which is why all this nonsense is so funny, all the racism involved in the arguments against discrimination.
12:22 mike_c danielpbarron: you are trying to be cute with the rules, but that is just bullshit. why do you have the rule against black figurines? because you hate blacks.

12:23 chetty I once had to go to a racism class when I was pregnant, some derp said something about pregnant and barefoot women in the kitchen so I took my shoes off and said 'which way?'
12:24 moiety ok moving time, see yous later!
12:24 Naphex hey xmj troll me with some marketing voodoo about startups i am in the mood:)
12:24 danielpbarron just to clarify, I don't have a problem with blacks, but so what? if you don't like that someone hates blacks then don't do business with them
12:24 danielpbarron nobody is entitled to the service of having a wedding cake made for them
12:25 mike_c "so what" is that a lot of people don't find racism/sexism/homophobia something to simply be ignored.
12:25 mike_c because then you end up with half your country owning slaves.
12:25 danielpbarron a lot of people do really stupid things
12:25 chetty well we have lost 'we reserve the right to refuse service'
12:25 davout danielpbarron: in france we have this "refus de vente" offense, you can't just select your customers if you're selling to the general public
12:25 danielpbarron mike_c, what does slavery have to do with hating blacks??
12:26 danielpbarron mike_c, I am pro-slavery and I don't argue it from a racial point of view
12:26 davout mircea_popescu: "which is why there should be no higher power than a baker" <<< such amen

12:26 asciilifeform over here, 'right to refuse service' is alive and well in... pubs. it is permitted when based on particular clothing. which the 'untermenschen' helpfully insist on wearing.
12:27 xmj Naphex: yawn
12:27 Naphex funny they let me in everywhere dressed in anything when they see my pockets filled with cash ^.^
12:27 xmj now i get shat on for describing reality. ffu
12:27 xmj Naphex: troll someone else
12:28 danielpbarron yeah, clubs in NYC turn you away for having the "wrong shoes" which some argue is vailed racism (they are basically saying, blacks don't have nice shoes)
12:28 Naphex what about rapppers?
12:28 fluffypony I like wrap
12:28 xmj Naphex: I've made the same experiences, fwiw. once they notice you're about to spend decent cash.. attire is secondary
12:28 davout asciilifeform: i guess it's not really comparable (we have that too in france, you need to be dressed up to get into nightclubs), thing is, the "dressed-up" criteria is based on measurable things that are laid out beforehand, not on whether oyu like or dislike someone
12:28 Naphex http://www.bet.com/news/fashion-and-beauty/2012/04/11/fab-or-fail-jeremy-scott-gorilla-adidas-as-seen-on-amber-rose-and-a-ap-rocky/_jcr_content/featuredMedia/newsitemimage.newsimage.dimg/041112-fashion-beauty-2-chainz-gorilla-adidas-shoes.jpg those some nice shoes
12:29 asciilifeform davout: not quite the same thing. it's 'no caps', 'no pants with wide bottoms', etc. rather than 'must have civilized suit'
12:29 davout asciilifeform: yeah but it's measurable and not based on *who* wears the clothing
12:29 asciilifeform the folks for whom these items are mandatory, 'national' clothing stay out. and don't seem to complain.
12:30 benkay go once, conform to rules, make friends, spend money, return wearing cap. no problems.
12:30 Naphex see benkay knows how to infiltrate
12:31 davout i mean, the whole baker thing sounds pretty retarded anyway, if i went to a baker that refuses jews i wouldn't insist on giving him business
12:31 Naphex :)))
12:31 asciilifeform davout owns a time machine?
12:31 davout asciilifeform: yes, designed by apple in california

13:02 mircea_popescu mike_c, i dunno dood, maybe you don't like the ingredients that have to be used to make it be black.
13:02 Naphex i like bitcoins:D
13:02 mircea_popescu it's such nonsenbse this, that your particular meaning is somehow part of objects now.
13:03 mike_c not part of objects, part of behavior.
13:03 mircea_popescu every culture is free to create its own set of names for the constellations wtf.
13:03 chetty hey they can even draw new ones if they like, dont change the stars
13:03 mircea_popescu mike_c, you against flag burning too ?
13:04 mike_c no
13:04 mircea_popescu so legt me get this straight
13:04 mircea_popescu if i make two paper figurines, one black, one red-white aqnd burn both
13:04 mircea_popescu your bp is going up over a selective subset of this ?
13:05 mike_c thinking..
13:05 mircea_popescu "behaviour" is a cop out. the tendency is to put meaning into objects, which is a task for they who've hunted snipes successfully.
13:07 mike_c some people "hate americans" and act accordingly. I think this is retarded, but it doesn't upset me. some people "hate homos" and act accordingly, yet this does upset me.
13:07 mike_c perhaps this is inconsistent.
13:07 Naphex well i hate people who hate animals
13:07 Naphex and act accordingly
13:07 Naphex and i act accordingly when i see people acting accordingly to hating animals
13:07 danielpbarron <+mike_c> well, relatively serious. is there some other reason you would refuse to use black figurines? << there needn't be any other reason; is it my business or not?
13:08 mircea_popescu it goes much deeper than that mike_c. some years ago, in the days of the johnny cash, trolls burned the flag much to the dismay of the right "silent majority", which was mocked by the progressive left.
13:08 mircea_popescu meanwhile that progressive left has ossified into a "silent majority", and... well... trolls are burning black men much to their display.
13:08 mircea_popescu if this isn't a sad exercise into becoming everything you've hated about the stupidity of your parents
13:08 mircea_popescu i dunno what would be.
13:09 mike_c so what's your point? that I shouldn't care about other people's idiocy? or is it that it isn't stupid to be racist/homophobic.
13:09 mircea_popescu at any raqte, the notion that anyone burned the flag "because they hated america" was so fucking ridiculojus back then
13:09 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: You just might win the Halep bet
13:09 mircea_popescu quite obviously everyone did it to piss off the people who get pissed off by these things
13:10 mircea_popescu mike_c, my point is that you can't pretend like meaning is immanent. it's not.
13:10 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo, W00t

13:10 danielpbarron why is racism always lumped in with hating homosexuals, and why is hating homosexuals lumped in with homophobia? I'm not afraid of them, lol
13:10 mike_c but there often is meaning. flag burning is dumb. but refusing service based on race/gay/sex does have meaning.
13:11 mircea_popescu so she's going to 4ever be remember as that nigger that didn't need em to have em :D

13:13 mircea_popescu chetty, because you're insecure about your pile of unexamined groupthink items.

13:13 danielpbarron because the lgbt movement isn't about rights; it's the opposite: it's about forcing acceptance on others
13:13 mike_c 100 people go lynch a black guy. yes, 20 of them only did it because of peer pressure, but 80 of them did do it because they hate/fear/whatever blacks.
13:13 danielpbarron "you better at least pretend to like gays.. OR ELSE."
13:13 mike_c that doesn't mean there was no meaning to any of it.
13:13 mircea_popescu mike_c, it means you can't count on it tho.
13:14 mircea_popescu do people killing rats hate rats for that matter ?
13:14 mike_c sure, i can't count it. but fuck those 20 guys who did it for dumb reasons too.
13:14 mircea_popescu like say an exterminator.
13:14 danielpbarron exterminators probably love rats
13:15 chetty haha well if you live in DC rat killing is not allowed
13:15 mike_c bad analogy. killing rats and/or manuls means nothing.
13:15 mircea_popescu oic
13:15 mircea_popescu anbd you get to decide which objects carry meanin and which don't and what it is ?
13:15 mircea_popescu what are you, like the mp of creation ?
13:15 mike_c what's the other option? you don't get to assign meaning to anything?
13:15 mike_c "i'm not god, so whatever"
13:15 mircea_popescu you get to do it for yourself,
13:15 mircea_popescu leave some space for the rest of the world.
13:18 mike_c sure, like you left some space for romanians by leaving. you also wrote a blog post telling them they suck on the way out.
13:18 mircea_popescu god help us if i happen to think xmj is stupid and xmj happens to think i shouldn't happen to think that. what's that gonna yield, a law against thinking xmjs are stupi ? enacted by ycombinator ?
13:18 mircea_popescu this is why there shouldn't be a greater power than a baker in the first placre.
13:19 xmj what is wrong with mircea_popescu
13:19 mircea_popescu mike_c, i told them they suck while there, too. you don;t know about it because i told THEM

13:20 xmj oh i do agree with that.
13:20 xmj pankkake: i think mircea_popescu is stupid for thinking i'm stupid for describing reality as it is.
13:20 mircea_popescu by the time there's laws directing the proper behaviour in bakeries the discussion as to whether the state failed or succeedded is moot
13:20 xmj go work for a few venture capital-funded startups.
13:20 xmj you'll see what i mean.

13:23 Naphex and also, storing private data on hypervisors you don't control

13:23 Naphex period
13:23 Naphex so thats that with that argument
13:23 pankkake can't we just stay meta?
13:23 xmj Naphex: case in point: all startups here in estonia i've heard of do not buy hardware but use aws/rackspace/...
13:23 Naphex xmj: and that is in no way a good thing
13:23 Naphex they may do that, they may thing its correct

13:24 chetty I think I just got a new curse word - consensus
13:24 xmj Naphex: because it's not part of the "core business" and you don't get seed-funded to do that.

13:28 xmj what could possibly go wrong haha
13:29 mircea_popescu Naphex, you saw the earlier lines from asciilifeform ? bitcoin.zip etc
13:29 xmj if you must back it up in teh cloud, at least use tarsnap.
13:29 mircea_popescu for that matter, am i the only one old enough to remember the reason we don't use linode ?
13:29 mike_c i remember the why, but not the who.
13:30 pankkake I remember and I had 0 bitcoins at the time even
13:30 pankkake another "wtf are those kids doing" moment
13:30 mircea_popescu mike_c, slush and bitcoinica.
13:30 kakobrekla instawallet ?
13:30 mike_c the answer to everything is bitcoinica :)
13:31 mircea_popescu nubbins`: "the sec is pleased to announce that it suffered a net loss of only $150,000 in securing mr voorhees' conviction" << it wasn't a conviction. more like "the sec spent 150k for bitcoin people to go "here's a dime go buy something nice for yourself and stfu""
13:31 mircea_popescu kakobrekla, nah you recall the breach when a linode emplooyee just ran off with th ewallets
13:31 danielpbarron <+mike_c> hehe. i think we are talking about limits on freedom. you think people should be free to be racist/homophobic. i'm not sure i agree. << you think people should be free to commit acts of sodomy; I am *sure* I don't agree. Which one of our sensibilities is more valuable? My solution is: you enforce your anti-racist w/e on your property, and I'll enforce my anti-homo w/e on mine.
13:31 mircea_popescu and linode first lied about it, then offered people a 1 month free coupon
13:31 mircea_popescu slush ended up covering 4k from pocket

17:28 fluffypony 2. double encrypt using Eorepadaeuium with 4 USB drives running Linux UEc.3f3.c2q1
17:28 fluffypony 3. backup with Efekjwsf and wefkjlfe + qt and create a public key, private key, and semi-private key.
17:28 fluffypony 4. print private key and public key, but not semi-private key. Laminate printed copies and store in a vault along with 3 of the 4 USB drives. But be sure not to run EFkjlwef foeropwerk.
17:28 fluffypony 5. Use a submarine to bury the vault in the ocean.
17:28 fluffypony 6. A hacker who is %1000 times smarter than you is watching your every move and will steal all your bitcoin if you slip up.

17:51 Naphex maybe as an experiment, who knows the benefit
17:51 mircea_popescu the problem with commodization is that it destroys quality.
17:51 Naphex picking out the good from the bad should be a skill everyone has, but that ain't gonna happen
17:51 mike_c Apocalyptic: there are also considerations around which curve you use. i believe certain curves are known to be weak.
17:51 Apocalyptic mircea_popescu, how so ?
17:51 mircea_popescu in general the fewer customers you have the better your product can be
17:51 Naphex well you compress it, and let people act based on a rating
17:51 Naphex they can optimize but have errors
17:51 Apocalyptic mike_c, indeed, i'm talking in curves over GF(p), with p prime
17:52 Apocalyptic mircea_popescu, Eric Bach wrote a paper about this
17:52 Apocalyptic Bach proves: 1) If you can compute log. modulo $N$, you can factor $N$ 2) If you can factor $N$ and compute logs modulo each factor, then you can compute logs. modulo $N$
17:52 mircea_popescu Apocalyptic, the question is more subtle than that. perhaps a better rendering would be "which of rsa, ec is more likely to have tiny pores we don't kjnow about"
17:52 mircea_popescu such as a particularly easy to attack space etc.
17:52 Apocalyptic but that's a different question
17:52 mircea_popescu none of these considerations are wide berth issues such as bach's.
17:53 mircea_popescu not that the result is unimportant, obv.
17:59 Naphex mike_c: btcalpha is very good, great work.

18:04 diametric it boggles my mind xapo uses a 4 digit password.
18:04 diametric it at least has 2FA for withdraw related activities
18:04 Apocalyptic mircea, I see, my interpretation of "EC-based keys are just as secure as RSA keypairs" was different
18:05 mircea_popescu Apocalyptic, "in the general case" versus "in any practical case"
18:05 Apocalyptic indeed
18:06 fluffypony diametric: lolwut
18:06 fluffypony "secure"
18:06 diametric fluffypony: yeah. xapo authentication is your email + 4 digit "pin"
18:07 diametric its 2014 ffs.
18:07 fluffypony that seems needlessly retarded
18:08 mircea_popescu 2014 sounds like a great pin
18:08 diametric the best of pins.

18:09 diametric yep
18:11 mircea_popescu nubbins`: pins & needles now << you are pushing your sacral vertebra into your pudendal nerve
18:11 Naphex Apocalyptic: but isn't ECDH safe from shor's attack?
18:11 Naphex from lets say quantum computers
18:11 Naphex thats why you do ECDH to factorize instead of just EC
18:11 Apocalyptic ECDH isn't of big interest for bitcoin
18:11 Naphex must've missed th epoint
18:11 Apocalyptic ECDH is just a protocol for key exchange
18:11 punkman ECDSA is what btc uses, ECDH is another thing
18:11 Apocalyptic ECDSA is what bitcoin relies on
18:11 punkman oh there ;)

19:30 mike_c uh
19:31 mike_c oh, they mean they will be the affiliate for other people
19:31 davout o so because affiliates
19:31 mike_c in other words, ads.
19:31 davout next
19:31 punkman yeah because when you got a working gambling operation, you want to send people to other places
19:32 mike_c maybe they would do well as a bitbet affiliate
19:39 assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM100] 119 @ 0.00189152 = 0.2251 BTC [+] {4}
19:43 punkman why is it that bitbet only does binary propositions?

19:53 punkman seems retarded
19:54 mike_c i wouldn't kill too many brain cells trying to figure it out.
19:55 punkman how the fuck do you do parimutuel spread bets?
19:56 mike_c same way.. just should be close to 50/50

19:57 mircea_popescu <mike_c> maybe they would do well as a bitbet affiliate << worth a shot.
19:59 punkman mircea_popescu: so what's the mindfuck with multi bets? I feel more mindfucked by trying to find N related bets
20:03 mircea_popescu wait what ?
20:04 mircea_popescu you'll have to give me moar context.
20:04 punkman see mike_c link above
20:04 assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 4 @ 0.20813118 = 0.8325 BTC [+] {2}
20:05 punkman also a hypothetical, if you have a multibet and nobody bets on the winner, would the house take it?
20:05 mircea_popescu seems you're illustrating it neh ?
20:06 mircea_popescu calculating the odds becomes more complicated. also, "nobody" bets on a winner is impossible, bitbet seeds all bets.
20:06 mircea_popescu but that aside, a parimutuel situatiuon where nobody bets on a possible outcome is not economically probable.
20:06 assbot [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 5 @ 0.072 = 0.36 BTC [+]
20:07 punkman yeah I suppose it'd make sense to throw tiny amounts at all unlikely winners
20:07 mircea_popescu n owinner is unlikely. i mean, is a bet that nets you 10kx your bet unlikely at 9900:1 odds ?
20:07 mircea_popescu +ev is +ev.
20:10 mircea_popescu but anyway : in principle multibets should be reducible to multiples of single pair bets.
20:18 assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 6 @ 0.02511 = 0.1507 BTC [-]
20:19 punkman considering a 10-way or 30-way bet, that is sure more work for bitbet mods to seed correctly. So I guess we won't see multibets until there's just too many single bets covering the same events

20:21 mircea_popescu even if through inflation.
20:21 mircea_popescu punkman, why do you think it's harder to seed "correctly" ?
20:22 mircea_popescu there's no corectness involved, bitbet doesn't make any effort whatsoever to split the seed correctly.
20:22 punkman what you just flip a coin?
20:26 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 14100 @ 0.00086112 = 12.1418 BTC [+] {2}
20:26 punkman but besides that, wouldn't it be more work to approve 30 single bets than 1 30-way bet?
20:28 mircea_popescu how ?
20:29 mircea_popescu i don't do it personally, and the mods just get to have fun. i hold no particular audit of their success. i guess some try to beat the game or w/e, i personally don't care, and that's where the incentive structure starts.
20:29 mircea_popescu as long as management is concerned, seed bets just have to add up to .1
20:29 mircea_popescu which is why they're seed bets. the idea is that the players will even it all out.
20:29 mircea_popescu so far this idea has played out spectacularly well.

21:01 benkay wait am i reading the logs correctly? voorhees is only in trouble over the off-mpex 'ipo'?
21:01 asciilifeform two things about this story puzzle me (confession: i never gave enough of a damn to keep track in real time...) - why nothing about satoshidice? only sued for a small part of the spam op profit and: why vorhees ponied up
21:02 asciilifeform third, why did vorhees, having profited handsomely from sd, have to take to spam?
21:02 benkay <mircea_popescu> in general the fewer customers you have the better your product can be // incidentally, this is why i love consulting. customers are typically n=1 where n trusts me and my boys to deliver - which we do. in spades.
21:02 BingoBoingo benkay: That is correct
21:02 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: That spam thing well preceeded S.DICE
21:02 mircea_popescu benkay, yea
21:03 mircea_popescu asciilifeform, he had enough sense to listen to me when i told him how to do the buy back.
21:03 mircea_popescu in general that ensures survival at a minimum.
21:04 benkay huh well this makes me happy

21:04 benkay perhaps the usg isn't as inimical to btc biz as i'd previously gathered
21:04 asciilifeform afaik everybody expected gasenwagen for vorhees, at least
21:04 asciilifeform for 'illegals casino'
21:04 mircea_popescu and as to why he ponied up, probably bcause it's a laughably small sum, it gives the sec something it already had (i doubt any us citizen can sanely argue that th eauthority of the us govt and its agencies doesn't extend to him)
21:05 BingoBoingo Well, he basically avoided the gasenwagen by buying them a BMW
21:05 asciilifeform peculiarly cheap ransom
21:05 mircea_popescu and closes his past (at the dubious cost of his next five years)
21:05 benkay next five years how?
21:05 mircea_popescu but i doubt he had much of a future as an issuer anyway, at least on the short term
21:05 mircea_popescu benkay, well because if he does an ipo now he'd be roughly in the situaiton of karpeles
21:06 mircea_popescu ie, "but you've signed here that you won't do this thing you're doing"
