decimation: asciilifeform: let this be a wake up call, if you don't have your
parachute ready...
ascii_field: aha, to upgrade key, mircea_popescu has to take a прогресс м-27м to orbit, and unscrew the old one, then retro-thruster and
parachute capsule back to b-a
ascii_lander: BingoBoingo: there is not a spare
parachute for the spare
parachute of the spare
parachute.
ascii_lander: BingoBoingo: point was, at some point you trust the
parachute ben_vulpes: but as asciilifeform's said before, the RI has to
parachute into mars, bitcoinating
assbot: Special forces soldiers and their dogs take part in tandem
parachute freefall | Daily Mail Online ... (

cazalla: i dunno, "goodbye" sounds a bit prophetic, i'd be getting the tinfoil hat and shotty,
parachute at the ready
BingoBoingo: Which I like as an uncomfortable
parachute.
assbot: Logged on 19-12-2014 03:23:35; asciilifeform: i dare to invoke the '
parachute theorem' and say now, that when wot is taken seriously by intelligent and resourceful enemies, it will be rather late.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well, there are ideas. If a new network popped up
parachute would be likely. Seems though that the root of current problem is freenode baring IPs and lacking any controling entity that could be convinced to do otherwise.
decimation: yeah, if anything it's sewing ascii's
parachute before being needed
decimation: if one would go to the trouble of engineering an ejection system, why not add a
parachute for each seat?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: the most there is is me going on the record that .6.* is probably okay. << This sounded like a cartoon. Like the Family Guy cut away where the dude throws him a
parachute with an anvil in it and says, "That one is probably okay"
mircea_popescu: "Normally a single-engine airplane has to be spun as part of the certification process. The Cirrus wasn’t. The FAA waived this requirement and accepted the airframe
parachute as an alternate means of compliance. I kid you not, the spin recovery in a Cirrus is based on deploying the chute. That is the only way a pilot can recover from a spin in a Cirrus."
decimation: mircea_popescu: well, the theory on that one blog is that because it has a
parachute, inexperienced derps think they are invincible
decimation: mircea_popescu: yeah the whole plane has a
parachute mircea_popescu: whoa shit, you mean a
parachute FOR THE ACTUAL PLANE !?
mircea_popescu: <TheNewDeal> Have you ever heard of a plane with a
parachute? << um all of em ?
decimation: TheNewDeal: I would like a
parachute on a small plane, there are situations where it would save your life
kakobrekla: a
parachute < o shit, if only it would have an ejection seat
TheNewDeal: Most of the planes I have flown on, had no
parachute decimation: asciilifeform: the Cirrus has a
parachute TheNewDeal: Have you ever heard of a plane with a
parachute?
gribble: Error: "
parachute" is not a valid command.
mircea_popescu: knoweth ye, that while it is unlikely for freenode to buckle, more than anything because its brains are so scattered it's unlikely to manage to gather enough management to do anything, nevertheless this isn't a reason to not build
parachute mircea_popescu: nevertheless, their deployment in practice does not (a state of affairs asciilifeform periodically protests with a
parachute example)
mircea_popescu: even the most accomplished anal insertion artist, who can take ANYTHING would not survive a
parachute-less
parachute fall
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: Also for the
parachute building exercise. If I have a lot of machines an intruder has less chance of finding the "secrets" machine or machines.
mircea_popescu: mike_c, you know parasuta, ie romanian for
parachute, is just one of the numerous ways to say whore.
mircea_popescu: i am quite curious to hear what their
parachute design will look like.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform or to put it in plainer terms : it is very true one wants to invent
parachute before, rather than after being thrown from the plane.
kakobrekla: <blackwhite> someone would make a killing setting up a 24/7 security company watching over those online wallets < - is this opening asciis
parachute after you have hit the ground?
mircea_popescu: this'd eminently be one of those asciilifeform "
parachute first pls" cases
kakobrekla: or as asciilifeform put it , invent the
parachute before the jump
ThickAsThieves: there's the plain above you, there's the
parachute below you
mircea_popescu: admitting you agree the
parachute moment was at the latest nixon
ozbot: Golden
parachute for fired Yahoo executive may be record breaker - Jan. 17, 2014
BingoBoingo: No, you insure the plane so other causalties pay you . Insuring the
parachute only pays your survivors.
knotwork: if so maybe we can later after inventing
parachute put in an infinite number of parachutes, and even back when we built the first infinite-capacity airplane it would have all those parachutes that will eventually be invented?
mircea_popescu: anyway, the
parachute argument eschews the infinity problem.
knotwork: yeah somewhere between thrown in the deep end to learn to swim and thrown out of an airplane to incentivise inventing a
parachute there is a slope of some slipperiness or lack of slipperiness or nasty friction or razor blades or something
Vexual: a magnet and a
parachute
