parachute he dragged behind him, but because of the maker tag on his waistcoat, 'bolshevikess', which in typical russian slopiness had not been torn off.'

mircea_popescu: note tho that i am NOT going to enforce any kind of responsibility for vtrons. the item says "MAKE YOUR OWN!!! vtron" for a fucking reason, and this is that reason -- if you use another man's
parachute package better not be surprised by the fact he likes to keep girl undies there.
shinohai: Is lamport
parachute accepted method to you trinque ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform : "Lamport
Parachute (a crypto identity bootstrap solution)"
BingoBoingo: "Airport" down the road even claims to host world "powered
parachute" thing

parachute is neat because can be fired using only paper. which is indeed tru, and quite neat in situation that calls for parachuting.
mircea_popescu: the decline has nothing to do with that. uk has been on a decline path since indeed, 1800s, and will continue to decline. and because their women are ugly, there's no italian
parachute under their ass either. wales is a fine example of where england ends up.
mircea_popescu was never worried about the "
parachute" "sikrit agents". the only ones who were ever dangerous were the bus riding sort.
BingoBoingo: And if it exceeds
parachute's weight limit, minimal pain should you abandon it.
pete_dushenski: if only asciilifeform had bet on eth (against mp) instead of lee sedol, he could probably afford
parachute. 2.5btc was it ?
mircea_popescu: sorta goes in the "
parachute - folded before jumping" vein.

parachute generation hanging == not enough entropy available from /dev/random ?

☟︎ shinohai: Lamport
parachute or it didn't happen.
trinque: I don't think I'd ever fly something small that didn't have one of those ballistic
parachute things
BingoBoingo: And by better I mean San Pedro cactus so they trip balls and naturally make
parachute instead of cocoon
BingoBoingo: Not cross stitched. Needle point is for directing the silk worms as they spin
parachute.
shinohai would like to see BingoBoingo's
parachute cross-stitched
phf:
http://paste.lisp.org/display/327488 lamport
parachute PoC in common lisp (it has soft dependency on ironclad for sha256, but otherwise follows the design in that own function can be substituted)
a111: Logged on 2016-09-30 19:05 PeterL: so I was playing with the lamport-
parachute scripts, and if I run any of them without any arguments it should just print "usage: ...", right? Instead it is closing the terminal window I ran it in?

☟︎ pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: bravo on the
parachute btw. looking forward to more publishings that 'everyone knows already' but really doesn't and that are 'incredibly obvious to alert reader' but really aren't.
ben_vulpes: eh, not really * monkey. more paratroopers to
parachute into whatever and take arbitrary pillboxen.
mircea_popescu: sort-of like alf's dream, can
parachute her with no resources on island, will be fine.
ben_vulpes: perhaps though i would jump out of a plane with a mispacked
parachute?
punkman: "Roberta Mancino is an Italian skydiver, BASE jumper, wingsuit flyer and international model. She has participated in more than 7,000 skydives and won several awards and world records. She has gone on four skydives while completely naked, and on five occasions her
parachute did not open in mid-jump."
ascii_field: the arabs did not
parachute in, they were invited.
pete_dushenski: don't wait until you're falling from plane to build
parachute ?
ascii_field: because they get 'gold
parachute' and yacht, while engineer works 100 hr/wk and dies of coronary at 39
ascii_field: aha, not a problem until falling from sky sans
parachute ascii_field: shinohai: this is like comparing jumping from plane with and without
parachute.
mircea_popescu: yes. when you design "a
parachute" you design it for "every".
ascii_field: mircea_popescu designs a
parachute, and reasons using 'all' and 'every' ?
