a) eye-readable contract ; b) machine-verifiable signature ; c) that can also be verified by hand ; d) in the same item.

a CR/LF, LF, or CR - LOOK THE SAME on the page.
BingoBoingo: punkman: For the record the author of that piece on the Toddler problem is
a notorious hamplanet of ~400 pounds
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well,
a tractor's PTO generally provides more power for the mangling
BingoBoingo: "The health department said the fate of the bull would be left to the family." << Note, being
a Bull means you get out of USG law racket sometimes
phf: beos email client was
a thing to download mail and the thing to view/compose. everything else was handled by file manager
phf: befs was tight in that respect, where they blend xattr and file contents, and then build all tools with metadata support upfront, so you could have
a folder full of mp3s and they would come up as song-name, song-title, date, etc.
mod6: be
a few days or something. will let you know. cheers!
assbot: Logged on 17-03-2016 22:12:05; asciilifeform: the -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- crud is ~exactly~
a safeword.
jurov: is
a file with some size
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'm going to speak at
a whore's convention. will bbl.
mircea_popescu: notably, the derpy gnupg manual indicates "telephone" as
a out-of-band mechanism to verify key fingerprints. is this so ? since when until when ? did it work back when phones were still analog ? does it work now ? why / why not ? etc.
mircea_popescu: the concept of identifiably separate bands is as much
a presumption about the "adversary" (properly said, of the context) as anything else.
assbot: Logged on 07-11-2015 02:21:19; mircea_popescu: "In the world where the media postulates social media as an absolute requirement of the modern era-- the era where everything is fetishized-- no one is permitted to make the distinction between
a value and the picture of
a value, they are made equivalent, so daring to criticize Randi's baby pictures is made to sound like misogyny or misobaby. It's not. I love food but if you ask me to look at

mircea_popescu: "sex with safewords" is sex exactly in the sense the guy playing king richard in
a theatrical production is king richard, the historical personage. "sex with safewords" is at best
a brat's wet dream, and in general prostitution, in the vein of the pedicurist or hospital nurse's job - but in no case has anything to do with sex, nor can it occur among sane adults.
mircea_popescu: f occurring between
a submissive and
a dominant partner.
mircea_popescu: the problem with safewords isn't that they're in-band to any degree. the problem with safewords is that they pretend to recast s/M relationships into
a circus approximation. the submissive partner may not pretend to option as to when, or as to how the dominant partner extracts his pleasure out of his hide ; nor may (ipso facto inept) third parties purport to misrepresent any sexual relationship in terms other than stuf
mircea_popescu: anyway. by and large, the "cleanning out corruption" narrative is what happens to
a colonized place, ie, after the top leadership was defeated.
☟︎ Agentzeromobilea: Mr. Popescu was not an MP then, but was seeking re-election on
a local council, reports the Telegraph. Despite it not being
a seat in the national parliament Mr. Popescu saw fit to give away 60,992 kg of “grilled chicken”, ordering it in bulk from
a local business and sending campaign volunteers to collect and distribute the meat. The prosecutor told the court every package of chicken was “distributed for el
Agentzeromobile: Just saw
a funny article wanted to post but not sure if I change tabs to copy if I will be disconnected... I'll try here goes... Maybe if I disappear you could revoice me when I come back?
gribble: ag3nt_zer0 was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 8 weeks, 6 days, 4 hours, 10 minutes, and 46 seconds ago: <ag3nt_zer0> good morning b-
a mircea_popescu: eh get out ; if he has
a tv set he has 2kv or some shit in the house already.
mircea_popescu: eh, he CAN make
a better series arrangement than what the brick does. for srs.
mircea_popescu: nothing prevents you from spending the 35 bucks for
a roll of 100 caps.
mircea_popescu: much more than analog apparatus of
a century ago, that's for damn sure.
mircea_popescu: get
a customizable power bridge, link pogo, see how much it'll take before it falls over.
mircea_popescu: and the same EXACT arguments you use could be used to persuade me (or at least
a dumber version) to use java instead of tinyscheme.
mircea_popescu:
a) i've on many occasions said, "this is stupid but will be instructive, proceed" ; b) you think this is about production, which it isn't, it's educational.
mircea_popescu: phf thinking about it, i think the switch has
a lot to do with their delusional notion that they're somehow now in power.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> what's easier than soldering
a plug into
a pre-prepped landing pad ? << ANYTHING that doesn't involve "pre-prepped". what's easier than marrying this girl your mommy splayed out on the bed for you ???
phf: i thought there was some cool shit, RAF for example had
a very practical nazi beurocrat cleaning program
mircea_popescu: anyway. powering
a bunch of pogos in the discussed way is neither terribly difficult nor terribly risky. it does require some reading, of course. and it does deviate from "how things are done", which is
a major asset.
phf: european leftists have been inexplicably at war with trolling (which is
a 180 change from how it was in the 90s and prior), somehow went from CRASS to respecting each others feelings, so takes some conscious effort to court some from that circle
phf: mircea_popescu: i take rhetoric as separate from message. b-
a rhetoric is firmly in asshole tradition, i.e. strong statements and the listener has an option to find the subtle point.
mircea_popescu: if one in 100 shorts you get
a 1% increase, which they don't care anyway.
nubbins`: one may end up as
a CUPS server
mircea_popescu: 320V DC out of wall socket is
a electronics 101 project ever since the times of hte b&w photo clubs.
mircea_popescu: (by
a high voltage rectifier thingee i mean that iirc pogos draw 4.5 V dc.
a > kv rectifier diode is twenty bucks or something, you can make yourself an item you plug into the wall and it feeds 100 pogos arranged in series out of maybe
a hundy.)
mircea_popescu: if it can run an obscure wp blog, it certainly can run
a bnc or whatever other such thing. much better security model than "i pay 20 dollars to dc hosted blabla-freedom.net"
mircea_popescu: people would prolly be willing to pay
a few dollars /mo to rent an ACTUAL physical box, which means you can take
a few hundred in exchange for
a not-unreasonable upfront expenditure.
mircea_popescu: see if your isp is willing to give you
a c block / upgrade your connection. buy
a coupla bridges of 32 or 64, make
a high voltage rectifier thingee, and power
a bunch of boxes
mircea_popescu: see if you manage to apply alf's thing and if it runs well. if it does,
a next step you can take is :
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron you know, it occurs to me your idea to run
a webserver on pogo may actually be very valuable.
danielpbarron: if i'm gonna move off
a pogo i'll use gentoo on whatever the replacement is
danielpbarron: how do you get to 1 from
a shift of 2 away from 7?
mircea_popescu: if in fact
a shift by 2 was in effect, it'd be the case that hash1=f(header+7) and hash2 = g(digest(1)+1)
mircea_popescu: and if i hire an immigrant irishman as
a carpenter, that STILL means he's gonna carpent in fucking new york, not that i'm paying his passage back to dublin to make me some doors and window frames there. wtf.
assbot: Logged on 17-03-2016 14:05:47; mircea_popescu: (to explain my thought process to the curious bystander - i would have seriously considered the application of
a fiat-based receiver with provable practice but innocent of the wot over solrodar's ; i won't consider such over davout's. this means that in the past coupla days
a window for some people to actually make their corpses useful to the world opened and closed - notwithstanding their or anyone
