ben_vulpes: in "other things jewels ripped from the forum's wall" news, Slack will repost the relevant log link when
a user pastes its url into
a chat
kakobrekla: all that i got was
a request for kyc/aml procedure!
BingoBoingo: Generally if you liek something you help it to flourish, report and just mebbe you get
a bounty? Otherwise who knows wtf happens if you open the other door.
punkman: so where's the dilemma? did they give you
a free mil or somehting?
kakobrekla: this happened to me on bitstamp in 2011 or 12, had
a deposit processed twice. i reported it though.
BingoBoingo: Well you can see the thumb that snuck into
a picture there was clearly white.
shinohai: Good God what is that thing,
a ghettomobile?

a top spot contender ? gibbon clocks 43k ? ooook.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: which is ~50k different phonemes, the vast majority of which are bona fide words but filtering any further exceeds my patience (and if you're curious why it stops there - once the fetlife lists hit, there's
a pile of crapolade in the form of usernames that are difficult to distinguish etc). i'm happy with the estimation that "50k or maybe
a little more". which would mean that... whoa!
mircea_popescu: bought guns, eventually becoming such
a problem obama had to pay
a visit to putin's residence dressed in nothing but his chastity device and do
a spot of work or two, in exchange for putin agreeing to take care of the problem. something like
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-02-2016#1413380 with the colors reversed, if you need visual aids, or else something like ross ulbricht "ordering clean hits" if your memory
☝︎ mircea_popescu: (for the innocent log readers : what happened in syria was that obama went in pretending he is the head of
a powerful nation ; putin went in as the actual head of
a powerful nation. when the difference between these turned out to be an actual thing in the field, obama whipped out the checkbook, started offering bribes to the locals to hold up signs and shit reading "obama is
a real stud". those guys took the money and
mircea_popescu: yet another nominal us "ally" to meet
a gruesome fate in the field when the posturing six year old for some reason dressed as
a very tall nigger gets called to supper.
mircea_popescu: agreement to posture in the un resulting in
a quick dispatch of the "rebels" on the ground, expect to see them hanging / supported by visceral poles by next thurs.

a nerd, but now also an artist"

☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-02-2016#1413445 <<< well, "defended the decision". said to an audience of derps "you are too stupid to have cool things, orcs. stick with the clubs you know." and they nodded because
a) who the fuck knows what weirdo foreigner is saying and b) what difference does it make to orc anyway ? no indoor voice to begin with, what ability to modulate behaviour by sounds ? that comes after.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: rather optimistic,
a deleverage factor of 1000:1 seems lowball. but then you have to account for the general ghetto dweller's disinclination to put up with "school" as an adult.
mircea_popescu: note the very epic "200k worth of fed paper is worth $500 in candybar, on
a systematic scale".
mircea_popescu: "Marching gets our message out." No it doesn't, it gets CNN's message out. "We don't watch CNN, we use the internet." Yet given the infinity of the internet you still surf the same 5 websites, looking for and finding exactly what you want, like
a baby playing peekaboo in
a mirror over and over and over and over and over and over and...
mircea_popescu:
a sweet sweet 199`500 total loot we can then use to build stadiums "worth" 50 trillion and that could be exchanged for "all of russia" if only we could find someone who isn't part of our circlejerk (thus has something of value whatsoever) and still credits our inane bullshit (like maybe some argentines running away with the money they stole while in government there or something)"
punkman: maybe it's
a "polite fiction"
mircea_popescu: "c.g." is
a random derp of no consequence that got nicked and passed his account over to the baltimore establishment of unintentional humour maintained on public funds.
mircea_popescu: context for the innocent : the carl force iv derp writes from one of the numerous troll accounts on sr to ulbricht derp. it's not clear whether he's doing this thinly veiled attempt at psychology on behalf of his employer or as an independent contractor working
a little moonlight, but
mircea_popescu: look here : "DeathFromAbove writes to DPR, "It's not that easy [AA]. I'm legit. Green Beret. Friend of [C.G.]. I have access to TS/SCI files that FBI, DEA, AFP, SOCA would kill for. In fact, that is what I do ... kill. The only thing that I do . . . Don't worry DoD has no interest in you and your little website. North Korea and Iran are
a lot more important. In fact, as far as the Army and Navy are concerned you are

phf: i'm sure the chip went same way, some chinese american female student, "say, prof sussman, how about you sell your life's work to highest bidder on this hip website. it'll legitimize what you did because you're no longer just
a nerd, but now also an artist"
☟︎ ben_vulpes: i b'leev asciilifeform even pegged it as
a cowardly apology to der fuhrer
phf: (not
a quote, but i was there, and that's the gist of it. many face palms in the audience)
phf: "The fundamental difference is that programming today is all about doing science on the parts you have to work with. That means looking at reams and reams of man pages and determining that POSIX does this thing, but Windows does this other thing, and patching together the disparate parts to make
a usable whole.
pete_dushenski: i don't for
a second think it's just correlation. wealth can't guarantee anything any more than obama - but can wealth, unlike obama, provide opportunities ? i'm inclined to say so. ergo wealthy man can at least materially afford personal car-computer, whether or not he can intellectually afford it is borne by whether or not he actually does.
phf: "This lot includes two Scheme-81 computer chips, signed by Gerald Sussman. This lot also includes
a commemorative 3D-printed Babylonian styled tablet containing the password to
a private Github repository where the buyer may access an image of the Scheme-81 chips."
phf: sicp is more of
a "all you need to know about computation as
a thing" book, rather then specifically
a way to learn scheme. i know very few people who actually got through it on their own
phf: it's basically
a self contained, and very readable spec of the language
BingoBoingo: My reading of the history is r6rs was
a coup attempt to turn scheme into
a sort of python or perl with too much built in shit
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It's their reaction to some derpy sports story about career of guy who sportsballed and then became
a rape-cop who is now in prison. Derps published the story now other derps are trying to indict the entire concept of long form over the story.
mircea_popescu: the collected "profession" of "journalist" can't if working together think
a thousand words ahead.

mod6: seems like we'll have to write
a lot of our own procedure libs. which is maybe
a good thing i guess.
assbot: Logged on 22-02-2016 23:54:45; pete_dushenski: if you're not making $100k++ per annum and cannot afford extra rooms in house or apartment to enjoy as 'office', then yes,
a jungle man is you. in which case, you're using
a phablet primarily and
a dusty laptop on rare occasions when you need to print
a document. the only exception being, perhaps, g4amerz.
mod6: once i do some more reading im going to attempt to read
a file.

☟︎ pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: that's an apt analogy in that both car and hdd are superficially affordable, but not practically. old car costs hundreds if not thousands in unexpected maintenance EVERY YEAR. hdd costs time, space, troubleshooting, etcetc.
a car you own outright (ie. no debt payments), like
a desktop you own outright (ie. no winbloze avec nsa) are exceedingly high-end appointments. neither is 'accessible' in any way.
pete_dushenski: hell, even owning your own hdd/sdd is becoming
a Big Deal.
pete_dushenski: and wtf
a 10 hour cab ride would cost
a grand+. each way. you can fly to amsterdam for that. or rent porsche from rental company for drive.
pete_dushenski: there is no such thing as
a pleasant commute. it's for slaves and sucks commensurately. as it should.
assbot: Logged on 22-02-2016 04:46:10; mircea_popescu: fact of the matter is, when it comes to technology we're all bums. nobody can make
a fucking car he'd want to drive.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: what's the big deal about being original ? that's not the talk to someone visiting
a hotel. 'this living out of
a suitcase thing is really most splendid, why doesn't everyone do this?'
assbot: Logged on 22-02-2016 04:23:22; mircea_popescu: phf no, it's the porsche for
a new generation. tho i'm unsure whether anyone here understands or cares to think about what those things ~are~.
pete_dushenski:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-02-2016#1412957 << my reading of porsche for the 60s generation was
a certain professional young man's (or well-heeled dilettante's) europhilic desire for post-war rennsport purity. the 90s/00s generation came to fetishise this, detaching it from reality, and in the process adding dildos of every unspeakable sort to the ak that was. in this sense, casascius coins are
