hehe well yeah, here's the problem : nobody;'s written the trilema dictionary yet, and the author itself feels unequal to the task of defining the feminine, which is why i passed above. |

I guess I was thinking about where the surveillance state fell on the urban-rural axis - it seems to me that it is ultra-urban (Roman).

i think this may be a flaw of modelling. consider this point : one of the ways nero got a bad reputation was through going out at night and assaulting random people in the street. |

mircea_popescu ok I think I see your point, though it seems like colonialism within Africa would have been more influential in transferring technology, especially in Rhodesia, from where very few slaves probably originated or to where the educated descendants may have returned. Sierra Leone and Liberia, where a lot of descendants of slaves actually returned to are serious shit holes. |

please rephrase the question |

BingoBoingo |
lol, I'm drunk. How much of the conversation on this bet and the BTC Foundation's site thus far and their interaction have you read on? |
| 04:31 |
RagnarDanneskjol |
none prior to our conversation - last I read brock's name was the press releases in May indicating he was refusing resignation |
| 04:32 |
RagnarDanneskjol |
anytime i see btc foundation, the eyes gloss over |
| 04:32 |
BingoBoingo |
Well... time passes at the moment, key words seem to be resigned and director. MP has a strong position on the word director. |
| 04:33 |
RagnarDanneskjol |
Ahh, regarding the verbiage on the wager, i read "resigns" as the key determining factor |
| 04:33 |
BingoBoingo |
The thing is RagnarDanneskjol breaking the BTC foundation can probably pay more dividens than golang BTCD |
| 04:33 |
BingoBoingo |
Right, resigns can be determining. So can director as well. |
| 04:34 |
BingoBoingo |
Welcome to the origins of a cluster fuck. |
| 04:34 |
RagnarDanneskjol |
haha |
| 04:35 |
BingoBoingo |
Because several months ago the BTC foundation advertised a board of directors, while now... the advertise a board of members. |
| 04:35 |
BingoBoingo |
RagnarDanneskjol: Do you have a way to contact Brock for his input? |
| 04:36 |
RagnarDanneskjol |
right, it was a shrewd and tactful deciscion |
| 04:36 |
RagnarDanneskjol |
yes, I can visit the office anyday |
| 04:36 |
RagnarDanneskjol |
but he gives me the creeps |
| 04:36 |
punkman |
I thought Brock was the one that bet 10btc |
| 04:36 |
BingoBoingo |
But it doesn't appear to be shrewd |
| 04:36 |
BingoBoingo |
punkman: So did I. Still I want to contact him if I can. |
| 04:37 |
punkman |
BingoBoingo: it seems nobody put any real money down on yes, guessing clusterfuck was expected |
| 04:38 |
BingoBoingo |
punkman: I put about 0.1 on yes expecting a clusterfuck I could lose. |
| 04:38 |

wonder if it is brock |

I seriously would love the yes returns on that bet, but hate the hate if yes was interpreted the yes way. |

so he can confirm or deny resignation? |

to resign from a position you must have held the position at some point |

in one of the foundation's IRS forms for 2013, only Matonis is listed as Executive Director and some girl as Assistant Director |

If he were never a director that would, I think resolve as a "no" |

for bingo's sake, I hope you win, but seems far too much ambiguity in wording for any clear answer - with or without direct 'confirmations' from the source. |

I met this mechanical engineer once. He tells us his life story. After an hour he invites us into his house and backyard and he had this wonderful custom pool with crazy skulls in the cement.

The difficulty is, if you've lived this life (and not been a stupid git going la la la in a bubble) for a long time, you learn to do certain things on auto pilot that, to someone looking for a "suspicious person" may ring bells. e.g. Take different routes, stay very aware of surroundings and people, avoid cameras (who the hell wants to be on the internet besides Jerod?), and for God's sake, sit facing the door of the restaurant! |

"1. systemd flies in the face of the Unix philosophy: "do one thing and do it well," representing a complex collection of dozens of tightly coupled binaries1. Its responsibilities grossly exceed that of an init system, as it goes on to handle power management, device management, mount points, cron, disk encryption, socket API/inetd, syslog, network configuration, login/session management, readahead, GPT partition disco |
| 07:52 |

| 07:54 |
pankkake |
again, come back when you have used the things, and tried to do basic sysadmin stuff with those |
| 07:54 |
mircea_popescu |
systemd's journal files (handled by journald) are stored in a complicated binary format2, and must be queried using journalctl. This makes journal logs potentially corruptible, as they do not have ACID-compliant transactions. You typically don't want that to happen to your syslogs. The advice of the systemd developers? Ignore it. No, seriously. Oh, and there's embedded HTTP server integration (libmicrohttpd). QR codes |
| 07:54 |
mircea_popescu |
are served, as well, through libqrencode. |
| 07:54 |
mircea_popescu |
libmircohttpd ? srsly ? |
| 07:56 |
mircea_popescu |
By default, systemd saves core dumps to the journal, instead of the file system. Core dumps must be explicitly queried using coredumpctl4. Besides going against all reason, it also creates complications in multi-user environments (good luck running gdb on your program's core dump if it's dumped to the journal and you don't have root access) |

"systemd clusters itself into PID 1. Due to it controlling lots of different components, this means that there are tons of scenarios in which it can crash and bring down the whole system. But in addition, this means that plenty of non-kernel system upgrades will now require a reboot." |

"11. Ultimately, systemd's parasitism is symbolic of something more than systemd itself. It shows a radical shift in thinking by the Linux community. Not necessarily a positive one, either. One that is vehemently postmodern, monolithic, heavily desktop-oriented, choice-limiting, isolationist, reinvents the flat tire, and just a huge anti-pattern in general. If your goal is to pander to the lowest common denominator, so |

"systemd certainly comes with a learning curve. Everything does. However, we like to believe that it is actually simpler to understand systemd than a Shell-based boot for most people. Surprised we say that? Well, as it turns out, Shell is not a pretty language to learn, it's syntax is arcane and complex. systemd unit files are substantially easier to understand, they do not expose a programming language, but are simple |
| 09:58 |

Myth: systemd makes it impossible to run syslog. >> Not true, we carefully made sure when we introduced the journal that all data is also passed on to any syslog daemon running.

Myth: systemd's use of D-Bus instead of sockets makes it intransparent. This claim is already contradictory in itself: D-Bus uses sockets as transport, too. Hence whenever D-Bus is used to send something around, a socket is used for that too. D-Bus is mostly a standardized serialization of messages to send over these sockets. If anything this makes it more transparent, since this serialization is well documented, under |

geez, it's kinda crappy that a game that's been around since 1999 still sometimes have NPCs in one of the main areas which like... interracting with the NPC is bugged, and instantly crashes the game client 100% of the time |
| 16:23 |

this time, as a test I tried a nearby vendor (no crash) then went back to the one I had problems with and it was reproducable & crashed yet again |
