BingoBoingo !up WolfGoethe [00:05]
* assbot gives voice to WolfGoethe [00:05]
WolfGoethe hello [00:05]
BingoBoingo Hello. Any thoughts on events that have transpired since your last visit? [00:06]
WolfGoethe events? [00:08]
WolfGoethe the dropping of the price? [00:08]
PeterL when was your last visit? [00:08]
WolfGoethe month or two ago [00:08]
BingoBoingo Well, that or ButtStamp. Or any number of things. [00:09]
WolfGoethe no idea about bitstamp or paycoin [00:09]
WolfGoethe i have been pondering the possiblity of banker meddling in the bitcoin price [00:09]
BingoBoingo Well, dollars are cheap [00:10]
mircea_popescu lol [00:10]
BingoBoingo "Buy high, sell low" works for oil [00:10]
WolfGoethe clearly they are attacking gold and silver desperate to keep the dollar high, they attacked the russian economy by working with opec to lower oil prices [00:10]
mircea_popescu i always thought WolfGoethe = vexual [00:10]
WolfGoethe not too far out of scope to see them messing with bitcoin just to keep the lid on how worthless the dollar is [00:10]
BingoBoingo Why work with all of Opec when you can just deal with the House of Saud's gerontocracy and that rogue state of North Dakota? [00:11]
PeterL who is "them"? [00:11]
WolfGoethe also if Russia answered their attack with chinese help we could very easily have $1,000,000 bitcoin in a month [00:11]
mircea_popescu PeterL the lizard tribe doh. [00:11]
mircea_popescu WolfGoethe no because captain planet would intervene. [00:11]
WolfGoethe the house of Saud is a completely controlled puppet government yes [00:12]
BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: The reptilians. The DDoS people ruined the lizard word like all marketers do. [00:12]
BingoBoingo WolfGoethe: Nah, it is just old. [00:12]
mircea_popescu i think the reptilians are just a ruse. [00:12]
mircea_popescu i mean sure, they did wtc, but what've they done for us since ? [00:12]
WolfGoethe i do not want to get into the spiritual stuff, as that is way to deep for most folks [00:12]
BingoBoingo Patriot act? [00:12]
WolfGoethe clearly all this has spiritual roots, only an intergenrational intelligence and master arcitect could have perverted everything 180 degrees [00:13]
mircea_popescu the meta dougornay ?! [00:13]
mircea_popescu (it only rhymes with nowai because it's true) [00:14]
WolfGoethe i really think bitcoin could spike to a million bucks if Putin worked with China to answer the us economic attack. putin could just say he refuses to pay back their loans because of the sanctions and he could ask china to call in their us debt... the fed could just print cash to buy it up... but if china sold that debt to foreign governments... the fed could NOT print foreign currency.. so... overnight the dollar would collapse... not a shot [00:14]
WolfGoethe fired [00:14]
WolfGoethe Putin doesn;t wanna go there tho. he is sitting back [00:15]
BingoBoingo WolfGoethe: Why would they fire though before USMS "auctions" the last silk road parcel. [00:15]
mircea_popescu it all depends on cuba [00:15]
BingoBoingo repost from earlier http://media.bnd.com/smedia/2014/12/19/06/56/1jjiYD.AuSt.98.jpg [00:15]
WolfGoethe cuba sold putin out, the idiots... they will get a color revolution soon. the moment fidel dies [00:15]
assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1Au9iIL ) [00:15]
mircea_popescu color red ? [00:15]
WolfGoethe the usa wants to hit russia and china first with a nuke attack before they get their mutual defense up [00:16]
BingoBoingo No entirely right. Obama surrendered to Raoul Castro. [00:16]
WolfGoethe obama surrendered??? [00:16]
BingoBoingo To Cuba. [00:16]
WolfGoethe what? are you being sarcastic? [00:16]
BingoBoingo Why would USSA. USSA first strike would require just about all of the H-bombs that still work. [00:16]
mircea_popescu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOR38552MJA [00:16]
BingoBoingo Not at all. [00:16]
assbot Blame Canada - South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut (3/9) Movie CLIP (1999) HD - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1Au9urm ) [00:16]
WolfGoethe the usa mvoed in because cuba and russia were getting to close. putin foragev 32 billion bucks of cuba debt.. and wanted a prescense on the island [00:17]
WolfGoethe this was a geopolitical move to cut russia off [00:17]
WolfGoethe their goal is to cut off venezula and the bolivarian revolution and then encircle brazil [00:17]
WolfGoethe this is geopolitics 101 not complciated [00:17]
* assbot removes voice from PeterL [00:17]
BingoBoingo WolfGoethe: No. It was to appeal to the democratic base lest 'Murica's other socialist party do it in 2017. [00:18]
WolfGoethe .... boingo.. r u serious? [00:18]
WolfGoethe lol.. ok brah.. yeah.. thats the ticket [00:18]
WolfGoethe i am a fool [00:18]
WolfGoethe thinking it had something to do with russia and full spectrum domiannce [00:19]
WolfGoethe it is just so obama can get some mo votes for his pal... hilary [00:19]
WolfGoethe lol [00:19]
BingoBoingo Yeah, Obama has sold a large part of America's electorate on Cuban style socialism and he want's to let them know he's stronger than the R-socialist party to making friends with cuba [00:19]
mircea_popescu anyway, this has been good enough for nao. [00:19]
* mircea_popescu removes voice from WolfGoethe [00:19]
BingoBoingo Well, it's the sort of diversion gossipd will render largely irrelevant. [00:21]
BingoBoingo The burden of impressing to get a connect to a gossipd node for the casual I imagine will be much higher than getting a !up nao. [00:22]
mircea_popescu prolly depends where [00:23]
mircea_popescu im sure there's going to be skankier nodes [00:23]
mircea_popescu actually thinking of it... cautions will probably be common. [00:23]
mircea_popescu "pay me 1 btc, if youdon't say anything stupid for a whole month you get it back" [00:23]
BingoBoingo Prolly. It's just this increment voice evolution seems to be proceeding at a humanly sane pace. [00:24]

BingoBoingo asciilifeform: So You take a bunch of people, 5 on the field of paly at a time. Goal is putting a bouncy ball through a hoop of fixed height. [01:26]
asciilifeform lol [01:26]
BingoBoingo The major advantage in playing the game comes from a player being as close to the hoop's height as possible. [01:26]

mod6 modern american football is a joke compared to what it used to be, its basically unwatchable these days. [01:28]
BingoBoingo mod6: NFL, totally unwatchable. College game. This bowl season a coach broke his nose. Running back shat his pants... and these were the more normal anomalies. [01:29]
mod6 yeah, college is better. the plays they do are "creative" too. [01:30]
mod6 hockey is about all i can really get into as far as pro sports. [01:30]
mod6 lol, did you see Chris Christie during the Cowboys/Lions game? DEEERRRP [01:31]
BingoBoingo Hockey and Baseball are the pro sports I watch. [01:31]
BingoBoingo Nah [01:31]
BingoBoingo NFL. Did not watch. [01:31]
mod6 omg. it was embarassing [01:32]
mod6 but ya, the NFL is just brutal. its an abortion of what it used to be 25+ years ago [01:32]
mod6 are you a blues fan? [01:34]
BingoBoingo mod6: Nominally. I like hockey in the way that I'd rather see a good game than follow a team. [01:37]
mod6 werd [01:37]
mod6 blues have been a good team for last number of years. [01:37]
BingoBoingo Baseball, I get territorial. [01:37]
mod6 cards fan 'eh :) [01:37]
BingoBoingo Blues have always hovered somewhere between making the playoffs and missing a championship. [01:38]
BingoBoingo Cards though... Imma give Matheney all of the explatives for only making the playoffs. [01:38]

mod6 a likeable guy, but just lost control of that team a few years back. [01:41]

BingoBoingo Cubs hired the guy who used to coach in the #BitcoinBowl stadium [01:42]
mod6 the Twins built that Target field for $1bn bezzle bucks. and if you step outside to smoke the fascist asswads wont let you re-enter. [01:43]
BingoBoingo They let you re-enter at Busch Stadium built with mostly private money... [01:43]
BingoBoingo Because the Los Angeles Rams fucked over the StL teams [01:44]
mod6 They let you re-enter at Fenway too. [01:44]
mod6 and they sell some killer brats. and old guys walk around and sell hot cups of "clamchowdah" [01:45]
mod6 'GET YA HOT CHOWDAH!' [01:45]
BingoBoingo When I go to the cards games most I eat there is a hot dog. Gotta make hose $6 beers work. [01:46]
mod6 yeah, lol. they're like $8 or something at Target field. its bananas. mind as well get a mixed drink. [01:46]

mod6 i was following the twins closer until a certain $100M player came down with "bi-lateral leg weakness" [01:53]
mod6 it's like $100M!? [01:54]
BingoBoingo One economic problem I will never get is dual sports players in college declaring for the NFL draft and skipping the MLB draft (looking at you rapin Jaimis) [01:54]
BingoBoingo For the average to exceptional player the NFL offers more moneyper year over less years, while MLB offers more total money over a longer period of time. [01:55]
BingoBoingo SOme serious cult mentality there. [01:55]
mod6 ya. [01:56]
mod6 sports would be better if these knuckleheads just had to play for their meal ticket [01:56]
mod6 and "glory" or w/e [01:56]
BingoBoingo Or if they'd think economically. Bo Jackson could have had another decade of professional playing time... If he didn't let the NFL cripple his body. [01:58]

BingoBoingo Indeed [01:58]
mod6 I think i have a rookie card of his somehwere around here. [01:58]
* BingoBoingo is kind of aggrevied Mussina didn't make the HOF this year in spite of inventing much of contemporary successful pitching. [01:59]
mod6 think they'll ever give in and let Rose into the HOF? [02:00]
BingoBoingo Eventually, probably on a reconcilliation ballot or some shit. I don't see a need for them to though. Their denial has only made his legend stronger. [02:01]
mod6 How is it that MLB is regulated by Congress? [02:02]
BingoBoingo mod6: The same way congress overreaches by proposing ex-post facto laws contrary to the constitution like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ex-PATRIOT_Act [02:03]

BingoBoingo So the StL rams majority owner proposed a new stadium complex in LA. [02:05]
mod6 so they're gonna be the LA Rams again? [02:05]
BingoBoingo A veto block of other team owners opposes the rams moving because it would prevent them from blackmailing their city governments with the threat of a move to LA [02:06]

BingoBoingo My money would be on London Rams and LA Raiders. [02:06]

mircea_popescu BingoBoingo nah, they don't have the time. gavin has to force it through rapidly, before blocks actually start regularly overflowing 1mn, because that's his only chance to get pools surrepetitiously mining v3 blocks while gavincoins not being massively doublespent. [05:27]
BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: There was a 50kb block Tonight!!! [05:28]
mircea_popescu he's prolly aiming for putting it in by february, but won't actually have the tech resources to do it and rather than risk a total humiliatory blowout delay it to march [05:28]
BingoBoingo No rush. [05:28]
BingoBoingo He has to take at least a year or the Chicoms will nevwer mine for his chain [05:28]
mircea_popescu ah, but it's not a matter of not being 50kb blocks. [05:28]
mircea_popescu there being any 7-800kb blocks is the problem [05:28]
mircea_popescu haha he doesn't have a year. [05:29]
BingoBoingo But he has to take a year, because I got Chicoms reading Stan! [05:29]
mircea_popescu and if he had a year, do you think he'd have spent xmas and new year's "filling his hdd with blocks" while i was on vacation ? [05:29]

mircea_popescu it's not even clear he has till march. [05:30]
BingoBoingo I don't think he can propose until March, then Fork block before may. [05:31]
mircea_popescu 1k txn is ~ 400kb. that means with a 800kb block that merely creating a 1k 1btc txn bundle will guarantee 50% separation on gavincoin chain. [05:31]
BingoBoingo Because... we know the people doing tx ping pong and filling up blocks [05:32]
mircea_popescu BingoBoingo nah, fork block has to go in before end of march is what my numbers show. [05:32]
mircea_popescu otherwise he literally will not be able to protect the scamchain. [05:32]

mircea_popescu for the record, for the unassuming individual capable of normal socialisation (ie, score a gf if one wants a gf) about 1k usd a year is plenty in argentina. [13:31]
mircea_popescu would have been enough for the rest of his life. [13:31]
asciilifeform retarded, sure. just wondered if there was some actual plus to the st kitts thing. because i distinctly recall that 'passports of convenience' are mostly good as wall decorations and nothing more. [13:32]
mircea_popescu also, the passports in question don't ever cost that much. he's pulling a kakobrekla's car trick on the value of bitcoin that could have been. by the same measure, his donated hundreds of millions of dollars to the scam foundation. [13:32]
mircea_popescu except he did that at a time when they were worth cents to the dollar, and they're long gone. [13:32]

mircea_popescu you know, the original somethingawful/buttcoin threads about how bitcoiners are mentally retarded didn't come out of pure malice. they came out of the simple fact of the matter : the early people involved are struggling with severe mental disabilities. [13:34]
asciilifeform what does that buy, a sack of rice and a monk's cell somewhere in a boiler room ? [13:34]
mircea_popescu thestringpuller doing anything out of the ordinary carries a higher sentence than everything else in there, you've not noticed yet ? [13:35]

mircea_popescu it is customarily shown by a) substantial assets and b) family ties. [13:44]
mircea_popescu the uncomfortable reality that he has neither is obviously something he's not willing to confront, and so it has to be about how bad teh us customs & immigration is. [13:45]

mircea_popescu maybe if it convincingly performs for a while the two wots can be bridged later on (how such a thing could be done in principle has been discussed a few times) and that'll be a great step towards de facto decentralization with central servers and that's that. [14:28]
mircea_popescu kakobrekla aha kay. [14:29]
thestringpuller mircea_popescu: just need to trust the maintainers of the gatekeepers into the WoT [14:31]
mircea_popescu if there's multiples lying becomes that more difficult and less valuable anyway. [14:33]
mircea_popescu but, fair warning to the ones still left inside the beast : nano, prior to his vacation, was a law abiding economy teacher, a bright kid and a very loyal and honorable fellow all around. [14:35]
mircea_popescu if anyone asks me, i'd rather see as few of these vacations as possible. [14:36]

mod6 you basically need to do these for that: [15:00]
mod6 (on debian 6): [15:00]
mod6 sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade [15:00]
mod6 sudo apt-get install -y build-essential libssl-dev libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev libboost-all-dev wget git [15:00]

mircea_popescu undata i think it'd be better that the execute bit gets trashed every time the file is modified. [19:22]
mircea_popescu or else, simply don't have it. [19:23]
mircea_popescu if your philosophy is that the file modification is what you defend against. [19:23]
undata yep, the former has sane security consequences [19:24]
undata the latter is more aligned with what actually happens, the file doesn't execute itself, something invokes it [19:24]
mircea_popescu well if the idea is that "he who has the authority to modify a file always has the authority to also execute it" then "executable" bit makes 0 sense. [19:24]
* dooglus has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) [19:24]
mircea_popescu contrarywise, if your idea is that one needs the priviledge to make files executable, then this situation where a file is modified and stays executable makes 0 sense. [19:25]
undata mhm [19:25]
mircea_popescu but really, the problem is folders=files and execution = opening [19:26]
mircea_popescu clearly "executing" an archive is not the same as decompressing it. [19:26]
irdial Presumably a "default file permission on creation" of any new file would fix it, then you would be forced to set the executable bit every time. [19:27]

undata the whole ACL system is just a bunch of ad hoc ideas [19:27]
* undata thinks RDBMS got ACL much more right [19:28]
mircea_popescu it is a bunch of ad hoc gunk yes. [19:28]
mircea_popescu to think 1991 - 2011 were spent in a "oh linux is better than windows" nonsense, instead of being spent to, you know, make a sane environment. [19:29]
mircea_popescu no wonder ubuntu and systemd are what's left on that smoldering pyre. [19:29]
mircea_popescu i suppose this is all moot since anything can read any file as data and trhen execute it as code anyway [19:31]
thestringpuller mircea_popescu: what would be a good resolution source for this bet: [19:31]
thestringpuller This bet resolves no if Gavin's proposed hard fork is launched, and in succession achieves 51% consensus of the network. This bet resolves yes, if the current Bitcoin fork keeps 51% consensus of the network, or if Gavin's proposed hard fork is never launched. [19:31]
thestringpuller Will likely require someone to monitor both forks (running both versions) if the event occurs as a resolution source. (Resolution source still required). [19:31]
mircea_popescu i dunno how it'd neatly be worded tbh [19:32]
mircea_popescu i mean, in such a way as partisanship can't hijack the meaning post facto [19:32]

mike_c well, we all know by now that the title is not controlling :) [19:35]
mircea_popescu yeh, there's that. [19:35]
mircea_popescu stil, as it is prolly a better phrasing anyway, give both sides some sort of chance. [19:36]
mike_c there should be a 'bet author' credit. make people famous, and then i'd know who to yell at about some of these terms. [19:36]
mircea_popescu mike_c there is. [19:36]

mircea_popescu mike_c go on ? [19:41]
punkman weird power outage, ups crapped out :( [19:42]
mike_c the time weighting system puts a dead zone in the middle of the lifetime of a bet [19:42]
mike_c It is often not profitable to bet given your estimation of the odds and the current weight. [19:42]
mike_c the beginning of the bet (high weight) and the end of a bet (high confidence) are the best two times to bet [19:42]
mircea_popescu in the sense that if you figure the odds two weeks late and the market already is stable you're... late ? [19:43]
mike_c no, more like this: [19:43]
mike_c "market", i.e. what the money says is that the odds of yes are 60% [19:43]
* assbot removes voice from irdial [19:43]
mike_c you believe the odds are actually 65% [19:44]
mike_c but you still can't bet profitably, because time weighting has progressed and only made it profitable if you think the odds are something like 82% [19:44]
mike_c well *that* doesn't happen until late in the bet [19:44]
mircea_popescu let's model this for the sake of argument ? [19:45]
mike_c ok [19:45]
mike_c i will [19:45]
mircea_popescu so, 10 day bet, on day 1 it's made, and 4 BTC on yes (40 weight) 60 BTC on no (60 weight) [19:45]
mike_c i assume you meant 40 btc/60 btc [19:46]
mircea_popescu on day 4 you come and split a btc : .35 on yes (2.1 weight), .65 on no (3.9 weight)./ [19:46]
mike_c but ok, i'll work with that. [19:46]
mircea_popescu assuming no further bets [19:46]
mircea_popescu you own 2.1 / 42.1 of 11 btc = 0.548693587 BTC if yes [19:47]
mircea_popescu and 3.9 / 63.9 of 11 btc = 0.671361502 if no. [19:47]
mike_c yes, well, first off that was silly [19:47]
mike_c clearly both sides can't be profitable wagers [19:47]
mircea_popescu 1.223563603 / 2 = 0.611781801 [19:47]
mircea_popescu so you are about at your .65 [19:47]
mircea_popescu minus a good chunk, granted. but still + [19:48]
mircea_popescu (if you throw 1 btc blindly on a 65% odds event you should overall make .65 back) [19:48]
mike_c ok.. so you meant 4 btc and 6 btc in the beginning. [19:49]
mircea_popescu yes. [19:49]
mike_c this example makes no sense. why did i put .35 on yes and .65 on no. [19:50]
mircea_popescu and i'd argue it's fair you realise SOME of the 60-65 difference but not all, inasmuch as well... you're both on the right side of 50%, just you're 50% closer. [19:50]
mircea_popescu mike_c statistics baby. [19:51]
mike_c yeah, i'm about to school ya :) [19:51]
mircea_popescu lmao [19:51]
mircea_popescu it doesn't matter what you bet. i put both wagers down explicitly to get all terms on the table and leave no stone unturned. [19:51]
mircea_popescu (ie, people betting one single side THINK they are. but they aren't. they should reserve the other anyway, if playing sanely) [19:52]
mircea_popescu ie, put some btc aside in their pocket [19:52]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [AMHASH1] 10000 @ 0.00089994 = 8.9994 BTC [+] {5} [19:53]

assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 5730 @ 0.0006282 = 3.5996 BTC [+] [19:53]
mike_c and if no wins, i get 6/66 * 11btc = 1btc? wtf. [19:55]
mike_c that's not right. [19:55]
mircea_popescu it's not, because you're looking at a dynamic situation as if it were a photograph. [19:56]
mircea_popescu yes, if the 1 doesn't get covered you make a loss. [19:56]
mike_c well, i break even [19:56]
mircea_popescu but that's not because of the system. that's because of market inefficiency (your bet didn't get covered) [19:56]
mircea_popescu your presumption HOWEVER [19:56]
mircea_popescu was that market is at 60^ [19:56]
mircea_popescu in which case your 1 will have to be covered to maintain the 60%. do that. [19:56]
mike_c and obviously market inefficiency is the only way to make money at parimutuel wagering.. [19:56]
mircea_popescu well OBVIOUSLY then it's also the only way to lose money. eh ? [19:57]
mike_c and OBVIOUSLY nobody is going to maintain the 60% because the time weighting! [19:57]
mircea_popescu ... [19:57]
mike_c why would I bet on a 40% likely event and 20% odds? [19:57]
mircea_popescu except, of course, as i shown above, if they bet rationally they do have a rational incentive to move the odds if they believe the odds. [19:57]

mircea_popescu Most troubling are charges of decades of revolving-door cronyism surrounding Joe Glicker, a vice president of CH2M Hill, the company awarded the contracts to build the new covered reservoirs for Portland.

asciilifeform for instance, one often meets with discussion of how edison 'did not invent' x. which, for most values of x, is technically true. but i have not been able to find evidence (did try) that he is not the actual inventor of phonograph. [21:36]
mircea_popescu well he doesn't mean inventor-inventor, like tesla. [21:36]

mircea_popescu Schisms do not originate in a love of truth, which is a source of courtesy and gentleness, but rather in an inordinate desire for supremacy.

mircea_popescu earned, and appeal solely to reason. In fact, the real disturbers of the peace are those who, in a free state, seek to curtail the liberty of judgment which they are unable to tyrannize over. [21:44]
