mircea_popescu: that's the whole point : that until and unless ~we~ actulaly do
a thing, all the other things are EXACTLY all the same.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger what do you mean "it's not all the same" ? it IS all the same ; what's gonna happen, they're going to get
a supoena and they're going to say fuck you, and shoot the issuing judge ?
Framedragger: e.g. 2x4.ru have
a reputation of being more hardcore; i know this sounds naive and it probably is, but i've heard this from trustable sysadmins running, er, shadier stuff. this is of course anecdotal and it's naive to trust someone with your hardware anyway.
Framedragger: "i am not aware of any services that can be considered bulletproof much like i'm not aware of any electoral process that can be considered representative, any computer code that can be considered correct or any fiat financial item that can be considered not
a scam." << i see your point and i agree, however it's probably not "all of the same"; e.g. 2x4.ru have

BingoBoingo discovered
a new word cleaning pending qntra comments: legix! As in Mt Gox was the most legix exchange.

a 1997 intro manual for how to be
a "sensitive" aka dickless libtard boi.

mircea_popescu: and, as
a sad testament of just how fucking stupid usians actually are/were, it'd seem they mostly bought it, too.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: Framedragger i honestly don't give
a shit what small national governments think they're doing or not doing or whatever. "lithuania" the subject of law is as unrecognized as usg is. no relation to anything, no power to anything, they can write bluntman and chronic comics about how "it is" an' "keep it real" if they so wish.
Framedragger: but mircea_popescu you of course know that lithuania is like 169% US's bitch. this was confirmed with drug market raids etc etc, but it's
a generally known fact anyway. that being said, heh, cool.
Framedragger: i think i once contacted them about running
a tor exit node there, they had said well if you put in your own reverse dns info for the ip block we give you then we 100% don't give
a shit
Framedragger: asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ohey i know this hosting company :D the physical server is probably in šiauliai,
a small town with good uplink heh
Framedragger: "unfortunately it is not as easy to go out of inner jail." << i picture here
a seneca with
a screwdriver
mircea_popescu: phf somehow describes
a sane process. seems incredibru anything'd still work in teh usistan, but there goes.
phf: i rarely meet anybody from dc in dc, but plenty of people from ohia, illinois, .. on my recent trip to south carolina i actually got to witness The Origin Event. went to
a bbq place not far from
a college, monday, 4pm or so, bartenders are two girls in their 20s, there's
a dc brah looking guy sitting at
a bar with
a track girl, both on their 4th beer and 3rd shot. guy talking at audience "yeah, i'm going to move to dc next year, i like
phf: asciilifeform: there's
a feeder track for pretty girls who make it to dc, and unless you're part of that circuit you're not going to interact with them much. chicago and elsewhere you're observing them in their natural habitat. untamed, grazing.
mircea_popescu: (in other unrelated lolz : an item pompously styled "european parliament" has been meeting since 1979 ; it was elected through the european equivalent of clipping cereal coupons for
a magic decoder ring ; participation has been dropping EVERY TIME CONSECUTIVELY SINCE THEN, and has been under 50% for about two decades by now).

a single reason : so
a group of like minded twentysomething chicks can advertise they're available. goes ~500 bucks unless you're very weird.
mircea_popescu: i'm just preparing
a string of these q's for the future historians. "are you picking up chix!?" "are you fucking
a dude ?!" "did you just shoot that guy ?!?!?!"
mircea_popescu: (for the foreigner : argentina's current flag consists of
a golden sun atop the flag of their version of the shitparty ; the federales were roughly speaking equivalents of the us federalist party ; their flag was the flag of artigas (vertical blue white blue diagonal upleft downright red))
a111: Logged on 2015-01-07 04:44 artifexd: I would think that instead of
a list of ip addresses you would have
a list of pubkeys and each pubkey has one (or more) ip addresses assigned to it. When you start up gossipd, it calls out to all the ip addresses in the lists and says "I'm bob, proven by this signature. Prove you are alice, with cryptoproof". If the answering box responds appropriately,

a naggum quote ?
mircea_popescu: awww look at that, goonswarm (game group of SA [sort-of the center of the ~male libtard internet, like the action movies to go with gawker&whatever, mostly famous for providing usg agent biomaterial for middle east bodybags]) has been getting raped in eve (
a derpy game about "space" that mostly consists of spreadsheets. we used to have
a guild there too) got raped. they lost about as much territory since 2010ish as the us los
mircea_popescu: well, you know how it is, anotha day anotha dollah. how's they supposed to find
a gcd implementation, if they give some internal pm the task it'll be 5 years and $250 mn for
a mostly working library consisting of
a stolen 50% of the windows calculator.
mircea_popescu: i have no idea. i think it's
a financial discussion of alternate cryptocultencies.
mircea_popescu:
a SECRET den of vice is
a contradiction in terms. like
a chaste teenager.

☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-05-25 22:05 Framedragger: The Web trivialized this original Xanadu model, vastly but incorrectly simplifying these problems to
a world of fragile ever-breaking one-way links, with no recognition of change or copyright, and no support for multiple versions or principled re-use. Fonts and glitz, rather than content connective structure, prevail.""" <- sorry i get sentimental easily :/

mircea_popescu: anyway. wank,
a locklin stock in trade (tm). moving on.
mircea_popescu: we totally have to introduce
a secrecy system because look how well it worked for the usgistans.
mircea_popescu: and the supersecret future plan of factory -> vsli -> ada -> lisp -> scheme / numeric algebra / stuff is busted open by careless accidental coversations in
a public channel
mircea_popescu: i fail to see what's intelligent in this so far. maudlin spuriosities about stuff ~I~ know about, and i'm so much
a "computer dork" as i'm
a fighter pilot.
mircea_popescu: i've never seen that in
a ssd. it's either "low spare" or else bricked.
mircea_popescu: i'd have expected by the time he's 35 he's built himself
a self-expanding "house" and set it out in arizona or w/e
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo actually i'm moderately surprised alf's preferred mode isn't actually intermodal containers. including
a set of containers containing robotrs that make containers and so on.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
A whole warehouse of 1880's vintage can't be too expensive
mircea_popescu: too lazy to dig for it. 3 x 3 x 3 foot hole in concrete with
a grating over it.

http://www.marathon-studios.com/i mircea_popescu: see, i can appreciate this "1880 street urchin or ru peasant sedated by malnutrition is 'calm'", except the first part is strictly incorrect ; and yet... there's
a counter recorded also.
mircea_popescu:
a supercharged tachyon can traverse the whole galaxy and not find any matter to interact with.
mircea_popescu: these dudes/dudettes figuring "they should change the world" or w/e the fuck they're figuring, i have no idea. average joe on
a mission of ruining his own life because too much tv.
mircea_popescu: this is the trouble with "modern democracy"-es throughout history, they overinnervate the average joe. it's like amphetamine on
a historical scale.
mircea_popescu: it's the denied middle, like chips in runs of 50`000. you can have 1000. you can have 1mn. you can't have
a fucking 50k.
mircea_popescu: and to delve into mircea_popescu> there's no way for mass market restaurant to compete with dedicated cook of your own training << tis not
a matter of it being you know, the evil capitalist being mean and bad for the evulz. it's that they fucking can't. period. girl can, and will, and does make mayo out of eggs and olive oil. how the fuck is 3 man restaurant to do this ? they can't do this. they have to buy it.
mircea_popescu: i doubt this. it's more of
a cost on women than on men, to begin with.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-25 23:20 mircea_popescu: tis not
a problem of means and averages asciilifeform ; tis
a problem of the definition of terms. there's always exceptions, what's "children" mean, what's "smoking" to be etcetera. and there's no properly systematic way to solve these in any field that is interesting.

a 2 gyros for $8 deal on atm ;)

a wash"
mircea_popescu: so you know ... is it expensive ? well no, if i had to chez victor every day i'd be looking at 1/4 mn p
a bills.
mircea_popescu: i was not even thinking of anything under 100
a plate tbh.
mircea_popescu: girls do
a lot of home cooking. you've never had better bread ; or sweets ; or sauces of all kinds ; or soups, or what have you. but is it cheap or is it expensive ? they can not beat the 2.50 mcd meal ; or the 7 dollars for
a pound of hershey's sugar goop. which is what people usually complaining of the cost of "natural living" usually eat.

a fool's proposition" "i've won five million" etc etc
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: not that bios are my thing, so i really have little to compare it to. so take the recommendation with
a grain of salt.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: the fact that chicago hasn't been able to muster so much as
a sneezing fit since then is what's allowed it to be embalmed so well. not all cities are so fortunate as to have only ONE boom.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: you're seeing the beauty of that city now. it's really rather well preserved as
a whole.
a gleaming testament to the glory days 1870-1930
