phf: i think there's a fukamachi project that does html parsing with the intent of scrapping, but it's the guy behind woo http server (i.e. cffi to libev, full "modernizayshn" kool aid), http://cl21.org, so i've not looked at it
mircea_popescu: it's on their fucking heads. when i'm not willing to pay as much as a farthing for the continuance of the world they built, this'd be why.
asciilifeform: which is why i do not succumb to the temptation of maintaining a public linux flavour, for instance
punkman: well you use a browser don't ya
assbot: 0 results for 'netsurf*' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=netsurf%2A
mircea_popescu: it won't make a difference.
mircea_popescu: this job, being eminently unspecifiable, is thus highly fashionable. so we add a codicile :
mircea_popescu: let me enlighten you : it's "take a string that is definitionally misformed html, aka html soup, and transform it into sufficiently well formed html to render". ☟︎
asciilifeform: the correct way to parse html is either a) don't
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-03-2016#1431144 << sometimed i say to pet , that 'if you be a good pet, mircea_popescu ~might~ consider you for enlistment' ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i dunno, someone's supposed to buy this shit or something ? oh, if nato invades some place and then calls it a civil war then totally ?
mircea_popescu: she also sued nato for you know, bombing a building and killing her brother and daughter. nato however wasn't sent to jail, because also reasons.
mircea_popescu: anyway, but speaking of the madam : aisha gaddafi is a rather interesting case. about our age, guy's only daughter iirc, ex un something-or-the-other.

mircea_popescu: apparently i'm a very important fellow.
nubbins`: you flatter yourself in a most vulgar manner
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-03-2016#1431095 << a) who the fuck do you imagine owns cattle and pretends they're women ; b) srsly now, this isn't how it works, you redefine the context. i own the women you'd be proud to call girlfriend, as cattle. and yes, they have exactly nothing against this arrangement, in fact, they bluntly prefer being owned by me than being your girlfriend. now you're lookin at the prob ☝︎
mircea_popescu: (for a reasonably well documented case of this, see the various middle eastern deals that didn't include the derp)

gribble: decimation was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 31 weeks, 0 days, 9 hours, 7 minutes, and 46 seconds ago: <decimation> I enjoyed my time here, learned much, had many lolz. I do not wish to cause drama or be an impediment to improving bitcoin. Even though I presently have L2 rating from a few people, I am not going impose on their good grace by remaining. God bless all of you.
assbot: Toyota - A Sirious safety message - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1pCOWtH )
funkenstein_: anyway i log in to share a little toy i've been working on: http://block-roulette.com
asciilifeform: tely stupid. He understands that Russia’s overall position in the world is significantly diminished. And the fact that he invades Crimea or is trying to prop up Assad doesn’t suddenly make him a player. You don’t see him in any of these meetings out here helping to shape the agenda. For that matter, there’s not a G20 meeting where the Russians set the agenda around any of the issues that are important.”'
asciilifeform: '“The truth is, actually, Putin, in all of our meetings, is scrupulously polite, very frank. Our meetings are very businesslike. He never keeps me waiting two hours like he does a bunch of these other folks.” Obama said that Putin believes his relationship with the U.S. is more important than Americans tend to think. “He’s constantly interested in being seen as our peer and as working with us, because he’s not comple
asciilifeform: e.g., '“isis is not an existential threat to the United States,” he told me in one of these conversations. “Climate change is a potential existential threat to the entire world if we don’t do something about it.” '
granny: Well, it's over a billion at coinmarketcap, so I know the number's I'd trust there.
mircea_popescu: there's a graph, it doesn't touch 1bn. ☟︎
granny: Hi, the link to coincap.io shows over a billion right now
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo "sfly & piot" is a pretty good find! << which is this?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "sfly & piot" is a pretty good find!
mircea_popescu: but you really have to be retarded to imagine a ploy to claim industrial production is bad isn't obviously transparent and deeply ineffectual.
mircea_popescu: in a sense i can see it, must be satisfying to actually MAKE something in postsociety.
mircea_popescu: i suppose in another decade there won't be a way to buy soap.
mircea_popescu: (actually, amusingly enough, swift docs date from just about the era ada was fashionable. there was such a time - just like that time in the 90s when everyone was eager to implement linux-y things and you didn't really have to sell it at all, whole cities just switched for no reason) ☟︎
mircea_popescu: so there's a meta-documentation that's secret and a faux documentation that's published ?
mircea_popescu: it's a protocol you know.
mircea_popescu: it's remarkably open and well documented for a fiat banking thing.
asciilifeform: care to possibly give a brief picture of the reality ?
mircea_popescu: which whatever, everyone needs a hobby.
mircea_popescu: it's a trope of fiction, all this.
mircea_popescu: you could trivially test this swift hypothesis of yours you know - wire a grand to the next nigerian to visit your inbox then write to your bank to reverse it.
asciilifeform: who is to say what makes a difference to me.
mircea_popescu: that's not the proper approach there. consider that you'd "entertain laughably innacurate hypothesis" about a) things that really make no difference to you ; b) with which you have absolutely no experience and c) that have exactly nothing in common with a hypothesis and everything in common with an article of faith.
asciilifeform: anyway i don't do amulets, much as mircea_popescu is convinced of this. i ~might~ entertain laughably inaccurate hypothesis about whatevers, when i have no access (unlike to the inside of a computer) to the priors.
mircea_popescu: mind, selling amulets is a trade like any other trade. wearing them is what was being discussed.
asciilifeform: and the old amulet was also calibrated for a certain kind of idiot
mircea_popescu: (technically speaking, the mp license is actually an anti-amulet, in the sense that it makes life impossible for a certain sort of lunatic. inasmuch as its effectiveness is not predicated on metaphysical but on quite physical considerations, it's just a virus.)
mircea_popescu: in any case - lunacy is not here contemplated. lunacy is actually in practice a very high bar of achievement. you're just weird, which is boringly common, especially in accomplished folks.
asciilifeform: so a comment containing a prayer to vishnu, say ?
asciilifeform: a device of sympathetic magic ?
mircea_popescu: this is actually a great question.
asciilifeform: i get what mircea_popescu is saying, 'the man is a lunatic but somehow capable of engineering sanely'
asciilifeform: why is this a wonder
asciilifeform: please be sure to install a suitable sofa !
mircea_popescu: if i ever move to portland and open a shrink practice ima send you a flyer.
mircea_popescu: besides this should be 1/4btc per hour and i should have a sofa./
asciilifeform: i mean, pretty much my whole existence is a theft
mircea_popescu: that is not a question i can actually answer, i don't know you well enough
mircea_popescu: had it touched elephants, you'd have a justification about elephant anatomy, just as well.
mircea_popescu: your "notion of how swift works" has absolutely nothing to do with swift, working or notions, and everything to do with you justifying your own theft which happened to touch of swift so now yhou have a "hypothesis" about that.
asciilifeform: and if i ask a fella what he had for dinner, his reponse also dies with the question, no ?
mircea_popescu: "but you did take the thing and put it up your ass" "yes but no it wasn't a thing not my ass not me"
mircea_popescu: justification, it's a psych term of art.
mircea_popescu: mno. you are ready to either accept it as a valid justification, or else accept it as a justification that needs futher justification.
asciilifeform: i.e. that if zimbabwe gets a swift of x, and usg decides that this ought not have happened, it can be reversed.
asciilifeform: i will readily admit that i have not one iota of a clue re: how it works, other than it being not-bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: the path to mp world starts by now fucking having an opinion about how swift works when you've sent a grand total of... 0 ? 10 ? what is it ?
asciilifeform: so the reversibility of swift and it having master control panel is not a fact of the universe we live in ?
mircea_popescu: and note that this is no argument ; this is a judgement.
asciilifeform: and so if it turns out that 100m moved from a to b, and b stole, can just as easily return to a by hitlerian decree ?
asciilifeform: so show me the light, mircea_popescu : swift is a reversible fiat thing. no?
asciilifeform: ^ translation: a thief's license has been cancelled by hitler, he is to be dekulakized.
asciilifeform: '"With high demand from all corners of the globe, collectors must be certain of provenance before purchasing. I urge dealers and auction houses to take every necessary precaution to avoid facilitating the sale of cultural heritage stolen from other civilizations. If a provenance is in doubt, report it to law enforcement authorities."'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there is not a us elite and has not been since... rockfeller ?
mircea_popescu: i find this proposition that there actually exists a us elite utterly hysterical.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: a trump would be electable if he could be certain of not picking up the microphone and prattling about rothchildren
mircea_popescu: think about yourself as a reader. then read it. is the piece all it could have been ?
assbot: "Honest" Soap Scandal Deepens: A Chemist Speaks | Qntra ... ( http://bit.ly/1QKZrnM )
mircea_popescu: http://qntra.net/2016/03/honest-soap-scandal-deepens-a-chemist-speaks/ << this is not so bad as a starter peterl but a) why do you discuss yourself in the 3rd person and b) why is it so aside ?
mircea_popescu: problem being that every tard out there already "feels like he's secretly in a movie", so this, much like gestapo stuff generally, is well desired by the genpop.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 'A huge difference: In the former Soviet block an academic scientist published in order to satisfy the party commissars of his/her proper and productive use of funds dispensed by the government. In western countries an academic scientist publishes in order to demonstrate to grant review committee members his/her proper and productive use of funds dispensed by government-funded gr

gribble: ninjashogun was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 year, 18 weeks, 0 days, 14 hours, 41 minutes, and 6 seconds ago: <ninjashogun> I am only interested in building real-world businesses with real income streams, not taking bitcoin investments for something and running off iwth it.

trinque: eh lacking the infrastructure to protect oneself this is not a heist worth pulling
asciilifeform: nor is it ever a permanent mystery which door to break down.
asciilifeform: if you HAVE A PLACE TO PUT stolen electric fiat,
asciilifeform: let's even assume, charitably , that there WAS a theft.
trinque: sounds like a great tradition in the making
pete_dushenski: reddit is like a pseudo-stake for people who don't otherwise have one, but care to dip their toes in now and again
