danielpbarron: oh nice! I don't have that block yet.. http://danielpbarron.com/blocked.txt
mike_c: i don't think that is usg honeypot. just misguided VC chumpatron. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: i don't have much choice in the long run.
decimation: I don't blame the folks at google for trying to improve specific hardware products
asciilifeform: they pound out the frame using hammer press machines... I asked 'why don't you just use a cnc mill to shape the parts' << try to picture what the cost of -milling- a smooth object the size of a wing might be.
PeterL: mircea_popescu:pete_dushenski they claimed circle defrauded them, threatened to sue. never sued, disappeared. << was Dwolla, I don't think Circle was a thing yet then, but same idea
ben_vulpes: <decimation> I asked 'why don't you just use a cnc mill to shape the parts'. the answer: 1.) they apparently don't 'do' computers and 2.) the aircraft were all half-ass made to the blueprints anyway, often with 'by hand' adjustments << uh yeah that's how hand machining worked
decimation: I asked 'why don't you just use a cnc mill to shape the parts'. the answer: 1.) they apparently don't 'do' computers and 2.) the aircraft were all half-ass made to the blueprints anyway, often with 'by hand' adjustments
ben_vulpes: i don't know about that. generally working with any given individual for a few months is enough to suss out their competence.
thestringpuller: i don't think the undergrads are smart enough to implement lisp
punkman: I don't mind the CSS, but the javascript situation is ridiculous
asciilifeform: i don't consider browser that won't build across the whole posix planet to even 'count' for the purpose of discussion
asciilifeform: as if it were possible for the machine itself to protest and say 'i don't like this particular 'what,' it was written to brutally rape the operator when the planets next align'
adlai: asciilifeform: all i know is an HN headline which i didn't bother opening: "[yc company] (YC '15) finds cures for diseases which don't yet exist"
pete_dushenski: i don't have a ton of personal interest either, just the least stinky poo, i guess.
mircea_popescu: PeterL either that or fairy farts, i don't remember. that whole day's a haze.
mircea_popescu: i'm not a miracle worker, i'm a butcher. i don't revive dead cows, i just cut them apart.
assbot: Logged on 06-03-2015 20:41:27; asciilifeform: trinque: as i understand, this isn't ru circa 1917, the hypothetical rebels don't 'just want to be left alone' - not one in ten thousand is able to grow anything edible without regular deliveries of petrol, pesticides, etc.
mircea_popescu: i don't think you may use pb anymore.
jurov: <mircea_popescu> i don't recall why we didn't like the pi for this purpois << alf proclaimed it as depending on binary turd (that supposedly leaks key material by any channel conceivable), thus unworthy
mircea_popescu: i don't recall why we didn't like the pi for this purpoise, but it's in teh logs.
sjsqd: and I don't think I have redirects disabled
trinque: I don't want help; I have my own businesses
danielpbarron: i don't think i'll be rich enough to bribe my way out until -after- it begins
trinque: asciilifeform: I don't mean that I'd return to the city 3wks later
asciilifeform: trinque: as i understand, this isn't ru circa 1917, the hypothetical rebels don't 'just want to be left alone' - not one in ten thousand is able to grow anything edible without regular deliveries of petrol, pesticides, etc. ☟︎
trinque: asciilifeform: I don't think things have gotten bad enough yet for them, the rednecks
trinque: I don't see how national-scale weapons control could be implemented in the US
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: i don't get paid in benjies
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: i don't even work at a place where they ask the question any more
asciilifeform: good thing i don't expect to live to pension age
adlai: i'm not sure the constructive uses of friction have any parallel either... beyond maybe as a cost of manipulation (when you don't control the tape)
asciilifeform: decimation: i did not test on any closed-source compiler because they don't exist on the planet i choose to live on
assbot: Logged on 05-03-2015 21:02:00; mike_c: i understand the theory :) I don't get the basis.
mircea_popescu: tbh, i don't know there exists material more intellectually objectionable than the shit pouring out of the usg.
punkman: I don't think carnot cycle is a good analogy here
asciilifeform: but i don't know who the users are and what motivates them
asciilifeform: no issue, just the fact that i personally don't have any jobs for which coinbr is the right tool
asciilifeform: (but i know that it isn't happening with trading, because i'm not an idiot, so i don't trade)
asciilifeform: because i don't so much go in for religion
felipelalli: jurov: the point is that I don't want to "trade online", I don't have time for that. I just want to buy MPEx or QNTRA for example and let there, sleeping.
jurov: don't worry, when i finally implement these loans, i'll start nagging
felipelalli: that would be great. But $5 / mo worth it, I thought it was more expensive, don't know why. I'll continue to pay that even without big investments yet.
asciilifeform: mike_c: i still don't get why somebody buying a parcel of $maxint btc would affect the price on, e.g., 'btc-e'
mike_c: i understand the theory :) I don't get the basis. ☟︎
mike_c: i don't quite get this theory that they aren't actually selling the coins.
artifexd: But, I do get pinged if my name shows up and I don't want y'all to think it has been forgotten.
decimation: although I don't know how one could find a history that isn't wrapped in progressive bullshit
decimation: so I don't think he's serious. although the idea of milling your own 'm-4gery' out of an '80%' receiver is a neat one
asciilifeform: '3d printer', for those unfamiliar, is a very costly item. i don't even keep one here, can't justify
mircea_popescu: and as to limited recourse, it can be limited whatever way. generally it is, "lend me this money to buy this house, i pay you so and so, and if i don't you keep the house."
ryan-c: ben_vulpes: I don't think so. I'm not Ryan X Charles.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: i don't have credit cards << do you deal with credit at all (i.e. loc)?
mircea_popescu: sadly i don't have credit cards, as i don't subscribe to open liability deals. but i wonder what the original texts say
ben_vulpes: <sjsqd> I understand the idea of bitcoin universes << what you don't seem to understand is that there are separate WoTs in action.
sjsqd: I don't think anyone has to read my articles or consider my viewpoint, its just my way of writing about the foundation
sjsqd: I don't spam my article URLs or anything like that (I provided it here because it was relevant to show what I was writing)
sjsqd: I don't care if its a lifeboat on the titanic
sjsqd: and I don't carry any worthwhile amount on my phone
sjsqd: but beyond having to scrape into my savings to pay for a VPS here or there I actually don't have any way to spend it here yet
sjsqd: asciilifeform:haha yes there are 2-3 of them, no I don't own any gold
sjsqd: I don't personally listen to them but there are some interesting topics
PeterL: mircea_popescu:asciilifeform http://i.imgur.com/nnJLHk9.jpg << I don't know why, but this made me laugh until my eyes waterred
mod6: haha. ok. but i don't see a problem with testing our own thing. even if no one else uses this, i'd like to know if it works or not.
mircea_popescu: the girls that fist that i fucked don't have worse grasp than the naive set.
decimation: at any rate, I don't think poitras or greenwald have enough of a clue to move a person of interest across borders
decimation: I don't understand why
asciilifeform: i don't give a flying fuck either way about the hipsters
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform overheard right now "o yeah ? well the gentoo manual was down for likle... 3 days. i don't think this is a good sign"
decimation: I don't get how that is even in the same ballpark
decimation: I don't think we yanks can send money to canadian banks
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: beria actually picked up women... << based on the sources, i don't regard it as a solid historical fact ☟︎
danielpbarron: "mod6 was able to successfully modify asciilifeform's build script of the portatronic build used in the Pogo, to statically build .. " << was this the issue? because I used the portatronic build script and the resulting binary didn't work on debian for arm -- said it needed a different version of some thing i don't recall at the moment
ascii_field: jurov: i don't think i will ever -enjoy- ada. but the more one studies it, the less escapable is the conclusion that 1) it is a necessary thing 2) for which there is, at present, no credible alternative whatsoever
mike_c: i don't run socrates' software
vhost-: I don't think I've pushed mine up yet
danielpbarron: lobbes, I don't see this info anywhere else; their own ToS page does not mention it http://www.edis.at/en/about/terms-conditions/
ben_vulpes: i don't know, man! it's one fifteen in the morning and i'm tearing my hair out over how to plan for just the next decade.
mircea_popescu: i don't think anyone in the wot ever actually starves. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: right, so we come back around to equity which i clearly don't understand formally.
mircea_popescu: i don't think you understand what equity is.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes essentially, i don't think you're proceeding on actually defined (or even considered) symbols.
decimation: yeah but I don't think it 'wants to fail' because of a secret cabal of financiers
chetty: <mircea_popescu> i don't think even reagan would have considered - considered! mind you - trying for a free market in army services.// its not a free market he is trying its a crony market
mircea_popescu: i don't think even reagan would have considered - considered! mind you - trying for a free market in army services.
assbot: Logged on 31-01-2014 13:48:54; mircea_popescu: well sure. i don't propose the chinese are racially ugly.
gabriel_laddel: Anyways, this is what I have in mind when I say "new format" - and no, I don't think the 'adults' would be happy about a program that converts arbitary PDFs into this sort of program, as evidenced by no bezzle barons funding Aaron Swartz's legal defense.
gabriel_laddel: I should have better defined what I mean by "useful format": all the citations must be clickable, and when you click on them, they open up the linked paper, or tell you where it is located (i.e., behind a paywall). I don't want plaintext output, but rather a better format with the exact same formatting as the original pdf that allows me to click, drag-and-drop and add new content. The authors etc should all be progr
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> i don't buy this 'controlled chaos'. isis is a mortal threat << more importantly, isis EXISTS because it was born out of the *previous* iteration of "we didn't really get our asses handed to us like little girls, we were really AIMING to be face down, feet in the air"
ben_vulpes: i don't buy this 'controlled chaos'. isis is a mortal threat to the us (and all client states) and they desire desperately to wipe it out.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: i have nfi why you imagine the userbase is important << I don't but the inevitabilibty of such an endeavor (i.e. http://qntra.net/2015/02/us-political-crisis-may-impoverish-homeland-security-department/#comment-11399), doesn't seem like a good thing
jurov: i dunno, just asking. and don't want to tie more bitcoins for indeterminate time in D.CBSE, either.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-03-2015#1037958 i don't even want to get into a discussion of how barbarously stupid they are. ☝︎
asciilifeform: and i say to him 'no, and probably never, need 1+ yr when i don't have to think about work even once;
gabriel_laddel: but I don't know anything
asciilifeform: must confess, i don't know him in person
asciilifeform: i don't expect it tested in mouse or man in own lifetime
asciilifeform: one of the mega-lulz re: 'paleoconservatives' is that most of these folks (that i've had the fortune of reading) struggle with a mental bug - they yearn to roll back to some known-good state where various old-school religions were still strong, but don't personally subscribe to them
gabriel_laddel: A summary of my points. 1) there are some people attempting to fund basic science 2) I don't agree with all of their funding decisions 3) this isn't the first instance of this occuring in history
gabriel_laddel: Does this qualify? will she produce anything of interest? I don't yet know.
