06:44 fluffypony lol
06:45 cazalla rdymac, why did you feel the need to point out the obvious anyway
06:46 rdymac cuz someone sent me here asking me and @ElectrumWallet to proof ourselves with GPG, and saw your comment
06:46 rdymac can't connect his twitter with his nick here, so dunno who he is
06:47 cazalla rdymac, i believe that would be danielpbarron
06:47 fluffypony gosh cazalla look what you did now
06:47 rdymac beside that, if I've never trade at #bitcoin-otc I'm not trustable... what a bullshit
06:48 fluffypony rdymac: lots of people have trust relationships in the WoT without having traded
06:48 fluffypony it's a web of trust, not a web of trades
06:48 rdymac beside that, if I've never trade at #bitcoin-otc I'm not trustable... what a bull*
06:48 rdymac I see
06:49 fluffypony also verifying you are who you say you are through GPG isn't related to the WoT
06:50 fluffypony I haven't seen the tweet, but in the Electrum source in pubkeys/ there are a bunch of GPG keys
06:50 rdymac that's what he pointed out
06:50 fluffypony well three actually
06:51 fluffypony Animazing, ThomasV, and wozz (mr_burdell)
06:51 rdymac the three that generates the binaries
06:51 fluffypony yeah so obviously whoever is controlling the Twitter account at the moment can't sign a message as any of those three

07:06 mircea_popescu you know, reading on this people's temple thing... the general pro-state argument is that o noes, donation powered police department and government generally "wouldn't work" because "people won't pay, gotta tax!"
07:06 mircea_popescu nevertheless, completely insane and otherwise entirely pointless derps like the jones dude got TENS OF MILLIONS of 1970s dollars in donations
07:06 mircea_popescu to... essentially... build an experimental prison camp. or to leave to the communist party of ussr.
07:07 mircea_popescu i mean... the fucking commie party of the at-the-time enemy of the us could have lived off fucking us citizen ~donations~
07:07 mircea_popescu and you're telling me the local school or w/e couldn't, IF IT WERE ANY USEFUL.
07:07 mircea_popescu seems a dubious claim.
07:08 mircea_popescu what they're actually saying is, "you'd never pay for us to do things you don't want done but we do, so gotta force you to pay". which proper restatement of the argument is of course too plain for their taste.

15:17 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: how?
15:18 mircea_popescu for the bystander : puerto madero is this overdeveloped zone that cost a lot of money, financed years ago on the theory that whatever, b-a is going to be seattle.
15:18 mircea_popescu ba failed to be seattle, and the costs of credit rose fantastically.
15:18 mircea_popescu as a result, all those developers are today bankrupt, but...
15:18 ben_vulpes oh the big towers on the waterfront?
15:18 mircea_popescu they're not actually closed out, because argentina is still very far away from a working market economy. these people'd be humiliated by the market, they're politically and socialy connected, can't have that.
15:19 mircea_popescu so instead of the judge selling them by courthouse auction, they keep having lifelines extended
15:19 * adlai for a moment was wondering what #b-a had to do with seattle
15:19 mircea_popescu which makes most of the income arrive not from renters, but from the state
15:19 mircea_popescu which makes the people involved more interested in supporting an image than providing a service
15:19 mircea_popescu which makes them completely uninteresting to actual renters.
15:20 mircea_popescu the only thing a foreign porn company "rending in puerto madero" does is send the local whores (perfectly happy to swallow for 200 pesos, otherwise) the message that they should overcharge. which they will.
15:21 mircea_popescu porn is a marginal business everywhere, and so... they'd be better off filming in ohio.
15:23 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes yeah, the places everyone tries to sell tourists on. as the only people clueless enough to not realise that... wait a minute!

16:06 mircea_popescu nope
16:06 thestringpuller LOL what copy portection?
16:06 mircea_popescu i remember hearing about such a thing in the mid 90s, and being both incredulous
16:06 fluffypony Leisure Suit Larry required you to put in a word from the manual at a particular point
16:06 mircea_popescu and spending a while to try to find such a thing ?
16:06 fluffypony so you had to copy the game AND photocopy the manual
16:06 mircea_popescu never managed, gave up, wrote it off as nonsense.
16:07 fluffypony and then Space Quest 3 or 4, the one where he travels through time, you needed the game manual to complete parts of the game
16:07 mircea_popescu fluffypony i had the one with the "ken sent me" password.
16:07 fluffypony subtle copy protection
16:07 mircea_popescu but i didn't realise at the time it's what it was, i thought it genuinely actually used it to keep you out if underage

18:12 mircea_popescu yeah, right. because he's dumb enough to repeat charles' mistakes, and send country boys under arms in whoretown.
18:12 mircea_popescu tell you what, the us can't make a missile shield, and europe doesn't need any shield atop its cuntshield.
18:12 jurov worked once in berlin
18:12 mircea_popescu hardly lol.
18:12 mircea_popescu berlin is the story of a 50 year enclave THAT REDUCED THE PINCER
18:12 jurov i mean invading the whorehouse
18:13 jurov not whatever happened after
18:13 mircea_popescu lol mk. what could happen ? a lot of fucking, and then... the end.
18:13 jurov i once read somewhere abou soviet culturai influence on east germany and they wrote "even some people had slavic facial features"
18:14 jurov that sis not dawn on me immediately :D

20:49 If facebook likes are from bot... the bot accounts are pretty impressively well made. Photos of same person over years, often multiple years of Facebook usage, conversations that somewhat make sense when translated, although not sure if it's issues of translation or just gibberish. Just doesn't look like gibberish.
20:49 mircea_popescu [Namworld] o, didha do that fb campaign ?
20:49 For some reason, they just like tons of random pages. If I had to guess, hacked accounts/people not bothering to remove liked pages.
20:49 mircea_popescu or you know, simply idiots.
20:50 I read something about some FB users just liking tons of stuff like they collect likes and using FB in odd ways.
20:51 Yes, well it's started. For some reason, it seems slow to work on getting website clicks. It gets you clicks faster for fanpage like button.
20:51 I'll try raising the bid a bit I guess.
20:51 mircea_popescu not like there's any rush.
20:51 * mircea_popescu looks
20:51 mircea_popescu 21 clicks here so far. lolz.
20:52 Facebook ads shows 50 clicks. So instant bounce/no wait for loading. How many of those 21 bounced?
20:54 My guess is a lot.
20:55 Yet when it's clicks for fanpage, they result in a fan, and randomly selecting fans gives you a realistic profile.
20:56 So hacked accounts or copied info/posts from account with privacy settings set to public.
20:58 adlai facebook would probably catch onto copied accounts quite fast, they run facial recognition on every photo
20:58 Either way there seems to be rampant networks of click-happy bots ramping up costs. At least on low bids/global audience.
20:58 They do?
20:58 adlai yes
20:59 adlai they use it to suggest tags
20:59 Hmm, I guess there's other smaller social networks, especially in non-english countries. I guess facebook botnets could crawl and use info from profiles elsewhere.
20:59 ben_vulpes all to make money while sleeping
21:01 Because the photos on those suspicious accounts have pictures of same person posted over and over. Yet they don't act like humans. Especially when you start tracking them once on your website.
21:01 Photos must be coming from somewhere. So hacked accounts very plausible I guess.
21:02 Easier than copying from elsewhere. I doubt it's hard to come up with a lot of FB credentials on black market/from a botnet.
21:03 mircea_popescu [Namworld] pretty much all. but it'd show in the log for merely asking for the page, anyway
21:03 mircea_popescu (i just grep for the get request it used see)
21:04 mircea_popescu [Namworld] anyway, let me know when it's finished and i'll do a sumup
21:06 Aye, should have at least 500 clicks once it's done. At least FB side. Apparently most don't even get to have a request sent to the actual website.
21:06 Since ads are not direct link but a FB link that tracks and redirect, I guess bots just click and never request the page they're asked to redirect to.

21:27 cazalla if anyone remembers .au police taking a bitcoin atm.. cops have revealed the inventory from the bust, no info on actual bitcoin amount so nothing newsworth but this paragraph is lulzy "The cash haul was more than $313,000, with property seized including vehicles, mobile phones, computers and a rare Bitcoin ATM."

21:57 cazalla adlai, the stats are not really point of article, more so to point out stupidity of this bitcoin black friday scheme
21:57 mike_c cazalla: I would like to write an article for qntra with graphs in it. how should I go about this?
21:58 BingoBoingo Graphs work as email attachements?
21:58 adlai stats, whether an official press release or some guess based on data, are needed for bet resolution
21:58 cazalla mike_c, can you use images for the graphs or is it code
21:59 mike_c images. but embedded in the right spot. and ideally presenting you with the least amount of work necessary.
21:59 mike_c like, maybe I should just have a WP account.
21:59 mike_c and I can write it myself. and then you review and publish.
22:00 cazalla mike_c, technically you already have an account, i create them for authors and use for publishing their articles, i can change so that you can log in and post a draft
22:00 mike_c and upload images to put in the draft?
22:01 mike_c works for me. I pinky-swear not to break anything.
22:01 cazalla i do that via ftp, wordpress won't let me upload images, i think one of the dir permissions are off or something
22:01 mike_c that's not a bad thing. but makes it harder for authors.
22:02 cazalla you can email the images, i'll upload and then send you the URLs
22:02 mike_c that's fine with me, but you might want to think about how to get yourself more out of the workflow. makes scaling and doing this long-term easier.
22:03 ben_vulpes automaaaaate
22:04 mike_c no no, we don't need more robots involved.
22:04 ben_vulpes wordpress is best robot
22:04 mike_c unreliable suns of bitches
22:05 cazalla mike_c, it's not really that much work atm anyway and what else am i going to do but play pokemon all day during slow periods
22:05 ben_vulpes but what about making money while you sleep, cazalla!?
22:06 mike_c hehe, i was thinking more about getting ready for the not-slow periods :) but this is fine with me.
22:06 cazalla ben_vulpes, i learned this lesson a few years back already
22:07 mike_c also, now that I have access, you just gave me access without checking if i'm authenticated :) and I'm actually the reddit police! (j/k)

22:56 ben_vulpes sports games are stories now?
22:57 BingoBoingo Marginally.
22:57 BingoBoingo It's the Bitcoin bowl. There was an obligation to bring attention to how completely mediocre the competitors are.
23:00 mircea_popescu [Namworld] i guess if they're only interested to see where the ads lead, they wouldn't follow the redirect. trivial curl thing.
