07:29 nubbins` the three major problems that beset bitbet were (a) mp was involved with it, (b) it had zero room for contingencies or unexpected expenses and (c) train-wreck PR
07:30 nubbins` on its own, separate from these three things, great website, great idea. prolly would be thriving.

07:47 assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/24OSSrN )
07:48 nubbins` phf: "solicited a judge from the wot" is meaningless, unless you know something i don't.
07:50 nubbins` http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-03-2016#1432301 << i also didn't think it was a worthwhile conversation to have, but i wasn't about to just watch mp make the ludicrous claim that bitcoin has been forked by a chinese mining cabal, ostensibly with the intention of tranferring all the suckers in this chan over to MPCoin, just because his 0-fee tx got bogged down.
07:50 assbot Logged on 14-03-2016 16:33:27; phf: nubbins`: i think it's a pointless to discuss (and takes away from the core of the issue) whether or not miners are conspiring against bitbet. ascii's been known to say that lizard hitler personally disconnected his node, nobody cared to pipe in then, because it's an established local way of talking and thinking (не веришь прими за сказку). miners are a cartel, they can collectively decide
07:51 nubbins` http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-03-2016#1432302 << agreed, he was stupid and his conclusions were not criminal, just completely removed from reality
07:51 assbot Logged on 14-03-2016 16:33:28; phf: into a controversial protocol behavior, mp called it "miners are conspiring against bitbet". you can personally call mp stupid for that, but there's no "crime" there.
07:52 nubbins` http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-03-2016#1432303 << agreed. however, mp was going to be content to simply just /let things continue from this point/, and that was scammy, and that's why i called him out.
07:52 assbot Logged on 14-03-2016 16:33:30; phf: nubbins`: the core of the issue (the way i understand it) is whether or not mp can use personal funds to pay out bets, and whether he can later ask for those funds back from shareholders. that seems to contradict the contract, so the accusation goes, he's in breach of contract. seems simple enough.
07:52 nubbins` http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-03-2016#1432304 <<< i disagree, given that bitbet is now in receivership
07:52 assbot Logged on 14-03-2016 16:33:32; phf: i think this question is receiving far less attention then the alleged miner collusion. i would've liked to see it approached through a judge (perhaps moon is a harsh mistress style "would you be our judge?"), a carefully constructed paper, an investigation, rather than bickering in logs. i think the question is also separate from receivership and is about ensuring that the rest of tmsr maintain a shared vision
07:53 nubbins` http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-03-2016#1432318 <<< PeterL it is 100% improper for the 0.00001 btc per share to come out of the auction/sale. the listing agreement specifically says that mp and kako are personally responsible for that disbursement.
07:53 assbot Logged on 14-03-2016 16:40:41; PeterL: mircea_popescu what about the part of the listing that says shares will be paid out a minimum of 0.00001 ? If selling the domain+code does not cover the 17btc shortfall and this minimum, are you and kakobrekla expected to pay this out of pocket?
07:54 nubbins` http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-03-2016#1432455 <<< i spoke for the people who didn't like financial impropriety to take place here, and indeed, i was the only one with a tongue.

08:02 assbot Logged on 15-03-2016 02:35:50; mircea_popescu: ironcally, bitbet is not merely "a sure thing" - it's the only actually profitable, legit bitcoin business to date. THE ONLY.
08:02 mircea_popescu in other news - something that appears as a legitimate outfit from rochester, new york ( thepremierpartners.com ) has apparently managed to lose control over its [email] servers, because they're now sending run of the mill "due bill.doc" spam but from http://dpaste.com/2MV15W2 it seems to be actually sent by them.

08:02 nubbins` nubs selling btc posters on the forums is a profitable, legit btc business by this definition.
08:03 nubbins` 100% profit, no expenses!
08:05 cazalla does this drama add to reduce the value of the limited edition posters you made nubbins`?

08:05 assbot Logged on 15-03-2016 03:21:23; mircea_popescu: hanbot the problem with your take on what's reasonable is that the other reasonable view is to simply say that everything's fine, nothing's wrong and there isn't nor could ever be any cause for expenditure, alarm or ultimately death. in principle this is a view that can not be dislodged, every living thing's expectation to live forever in a functional world is, misguided or not, nevertheless part and
08:05 * nubbins` idly wonders if hanbot saved or spent all her mpoe-pr wages
08:06 cazalla imma suggest it might raise the value given some may have been now destroyed, so fewer copies remain out there
08:08 nubbins` cazalla FWIW i'm selling another run of posters right now, and i bumped up the price by about 50%
08:08 nubbins` sold 8 so far, which should pay for the entire run of 100 plus a couple of prime rib roasts

08:14 cazalla were they not meant to be distrubted by the20year along with btc vouchers or something from memory?
08:16 nubbins` yes, each one has a voucher for 0.1 btc, at mp's direction. he later rescinded the offer
08:17 nubbins` i think he got mad because a bunch of poor renters who don't own computers weren't able to find the time to get on irc, find #b-a, take a photograph of themselves holding a sign, set up a btc wallet, &c &c &c &c &c

12:34 asciilifeform my brother's schooling involved a soviet pdp clone, that worked 'on good days'
12:34 asciilifeform operator would ritually take out, re-seat the cards, kick the thing, etc.
12:34 asciilifeform i fully expect a return to this, of sorts
12:35 asciilifeform e.g., cpu that clocks down to DC as the battery runs down, or the like, will be a first step
12:35 asciilifeform then rationed internet, and then finally rationed mains current, a la best korea
12:35 asciilifeform where you get ~hour/day to power up the tv.
12:36 asciilifeform ~on a good day~.
12:36 asciilifeform e.g., Dear Leader's birthday.
12:39 asciilifeform incidentally, it may not be obvious to the alert reader why the power downclocking thing is pertinent
12:39 asciilifeform the answer is, it is to move folks to 'cloud' crapolade.
12:39 asciilifeform consumer pc will contain the minimal necessary horsepower.
12:40 asciilifeform from the pov of the 1970s central planner lizards, the turn from 'pay per cpu cycle' timesharing phyootoore to personal comp was a mistake
12:40 asciilifeform which will now be corrected.
12:40 thestringpuller lol the cloud centralizes the need for internetz
12:42 jurov then why central planners allowed win 3.x to happen? everyone was supposed to run X11 over dialup!
12:43 asciilifeform jurov: microcomp was an unexpected thing
12:43 asciilifeform and none of them had the might for x11, for quite some time.
12:43 asciilifeform nor had anyone the bandwidth
12:44 asciilifeform until perhaps starting about a decade ago,

16:35 mircea_popescu the fact that this model exists and is of anthropological relevancy proves that yes, categorically impossible.
16:39 phf BingoBoingo: i've not read the article yet, but truth is, i'm yet to meet a teacher at a conference who's at all qualified to teach computing to kids. at best the approach is entirely experiental, "when you see a tiger^W^Wa popup, you should run away^W^Wcall a teacher" or "https stands for secure!", and the educational tooling is at best an inferior rip off of Scratch but more likely a scattershot gamification of hodge podge algorithmic
16:39 phf concepts "IF you see a wall THEN turn left!"
16:40 mircea_popescu when i was a kid, computing class consisted of prince of persia.
16:40 mircea_popescu i am unpersuaded better curricula could have been devised.
16:40 BingoBoingo phf: The qntra is actually being written on a medical topic, but I was googling the "war on computing" link and was pleasantly surprised when qntra was #1
16:40 mircea_popescu of course, meanwhile usability and friendliness and utf and reddit happened, so that no longer works.
16:41 phf prince of persia would be a step up from the "haaweeey kids i'm ratty the friendly rat and i'm going to teach you, 15 year old adults, about long division. it's haaaaard!"
16:42 mircea_popescu ~1/3 of the kids figured out how to give themselves infinite lives by trashing the ram.
16:42 * BingoBoingo in k-12 watched computer training degrade from turtle graphics on Apple II, to adobe dreamweaver/flash on Crapple OSuX
16:42 mircea_popescu INCLUDING a variant which worked on peek and poke in gwbasic.
16:43 mircea_popescu i guess the point i'm getting at is that teaching technology is always and everywhere a secondary concern to the human quality of they being taught.
16:44 phf i've been coding gwbasic on my libretto. i remember a bearded su closed research facility forth guy was telling me "basic rots the brain, man, we get these developers who are forever ruined, i tell you" that was in 96. i wonder what he thinks of present crop...
16:44 mircea_popescu yeah peeps really hated the gotos.
16:44 mircea_popescu only to implement gotos by another name in everything all the time
16:45 phf the purity of scheme continuations! so they let you move execution context into an arbitrary location in the past? yeah! congratulations, you just implemented haf a goto
16:47 mircea_popescu like it or not - the prince of persia curricula is how a country the size of oregon ended up providing half the engineers hired by microsoft.
16:49 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo incidentally, since you're maybe the only guy here that actually gas re us politics : admitting for the sake of this argument that trump really is the you know, tell-it-how-it-is, fight back against the system independent bla bla : what does the fact that he isn't making "electronic votes are not a sufficient way to settle this election" a central part of his campaign ?
16:50 phf i started my purposeful computing education by accidentally nuking windows 95 install while trying to get rise of the triad to work!
16:50 mircea_popescu you'd expect the anti-lizard fellow to be anti-diebold definitionally and before anything else. "either paper trial or no vote took place",
16:50 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: My position is and continues to be that Trump is merely and agent of Clinton
16:50 mircea_popescu phf you and ~everyone else.
16:51 BingoBoingo He's not anti-lizard by any stretch
16:51 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo on the basis of that tidbit alone you'd be logically correct.

19:02 mircea_popescu "Yea so you are an idiot. There’s no need to comment and make these shitty articles. Who are you to determine what “false churches” are? Religion is something an Indevidul believes in. It is what the said person puts their faith and trust in. I just think you should read up and do your research before posting nonsense. Thanks."
19:02 mircea_popescu so far seems to be right on track
19:05 BingoBoingo I suspect it will have to graduate from a pogo to an "edgerouter lite" sometime in the next few months.
19:06 BingoBoingo Or he'll have to graduate from Wordpress and lead #b-a to a new blogware planet
19:09 mircea_popescu i'm kinda waiting for the lulzy moment when "the community" decides he's you know, religious nut bla bla, then it's revealed he hangs out just fine with flaming iconoclasts such as yours truly, famous stake-in-butt practitioners like alf, sunni muftis like yourself, cascadians and what other scandalous outrages there be in this here menagerie
19:10 mircea_popescu it's only THEM that don't get along, it's not about him.
