phf: asciilifeform: right, and as far as we know right now cr50 doesn'
t have a remote/wifi access component. if it can'
t be wholly removed, maybe it can be "cut" (not necessarily by literally cutting the wire, but the direction of closing the plug hole)
BingoBoingo: ^ In the can'
t even death ray no moar dept
BingoBoingo: (Paypal suffers in this scenario because if they fail to deliver the chairs the idiots on this side surely won'
t blame their own brain damage)
BingoBoingo: I give it 25% odds I get the chairs tomorrow versus 75% odds I don'
t get the chairs and they lose their ability to accept paypal
BingoBoingo: tldr: I am trying to buy two chairs of a locally ubiquitous style. This vendor advertised a low price. They didn'
t come during the delivery window... or the next day.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t mind helping with the unobvious, but exactly what occured will occur again, "omfg, that was so obvious, where is it" sorta problem.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i will do my best to continue supporting pizarro, i won'
t diappear immediately. but i need to find someone to take over my responsibilities, and i'm going to be stretched very thin.
mircea_popescu: wait a second, this is what, at will employment ? don'
t even have to put in a full year or w/e, can just walk whenever the fuck it no longer looks pleasant ?
mod6: You were disconnected when the news was announced, if you didn'
t see mircea_popescu .
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno, i'm just asking him things. i wasn'
t trying to wrap some tellings into a pretense to questions.
mircea_popescu: the original "let's unwind it from the FS end" didn'
t actually turn out capable to carry water, upon discussion.
mircea_popescu: ie, just like the seals directory, except the seals aren'
t binary but whatever, a number.
lobbes: indeed, the benefit of the tag method is that -you- don'
t have to personally tag each thread (not saying you can or cannot, just... it is an immense amount of effort).
esthlos: I'd be happy to be the librarian, though could imagine a system where the bot allows trusted users to "push" summaries or tags. curation is a necessity, but I don'
t doubt others can produce much better summaries than I
hanbot: <mircea_popescu> hanbot you got copies somewhere ? << that'd've been wise, but i didn'
t think to make a copy.
mircea_popescu: (speaking of joni malkovich, isn'
t it a wonder the instagram kids aren'
t spelling it "ironiy" iet ?
mircea_popescu: "what if your company store doesn'
t have anything i wish to buy ?"
mircea_popescu: part of the reason for 3) is that ~you don'
t actually accept fiat in payment~. whether you're aware of this or not. but if you did... take douchebag who does, "works well for him".
a111: Logged on 2015-05-30 17:32 asciilifeform: hell, i'm personally sitting on a stash of 0days that i can'
t do anything practical with.
BingoBoingo: Still haven'
t figured out night photography worth a damn, but the atmosphere here over not getting eliminated was roughly Normal US City wins a league champsionship or College town beats opponent it should not have (Mizzou-Oklahoma 2010) level celebration.
mircea_popescu: eg : ask ~every single blogger on wordpress.com~ whether they wouldn'
t like their own hosting. you know those shitheels a) conspire to fuck up the internet and b) fleece the poor noobs something fierce. why not hurt an imperial outfit while helping some rando anontards ?
mircea_popescu: what is this claim to an activity that can'
t be explained ? in what sense is it activity ?
lobbes: Otherwise I have no problem continuing, though I have had 0 success thus far. I totally get the nausea aspect though; example of a post I had to muster 3 paragraphs to respond to in order to reach the 10 'non-fluff' post count threshold to be allowed to post an advertisement >>
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1710421 trinque: asciilifeform: don'
t they do number with "particles" ?
mircea_popescu: but in
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-27#1830163 : consider that inca didn'
t come up with this, but rather it is entirely supported by, and a product of, the cultists of inutility own' busybox processes. girl says "X is A TACTIC USED BY ABUSERS!!111" without skipping a beat ; and the observation that eating -- also "tactic used by abusers" doesn'
t ripple her smooth surfaces at any point.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, the foregoing isn'
t some kind of major discovery -- everyone's solution to civilisation was "gotta use orc's own forces", from the latins to the 1800s folk. cuz obviously.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-21 16:26 Mocky: ok well, thanks. hopefully that doesn'
t curse me. but also i "have" "bitcoin" in various dark markets that i want to actually own and I don'
t trust them to send accurate decimal to trinque's walletron
mod6: Maybe 'wants' doesn'
t even figure into it, for that matter.
mod6: I don'
t know shit about BDSM, but I'd gather if one slut wants to submit, she wants to submit. Not have a debate about how someone needs to earn the submission.
mircea_popescu: it's difficult however to illustrate just how deeply the self-delusions go. i mean, by example : changed4good 21F Little "Now why would i serve you? You havent earned my submission. In fact i dont know you one bit and clearly you dont know me by your comment." LordMPofTMSR "'Earned' your submission ? Get over yourself. The fact that you don'
t know me is a) your fault of which b) you should be ashamed and c) working to remedy
mircea_popescu: mod6 practically speaking, the only important difference between the "7 bn people alive!!!" and the "n trillion people dead" is that the corpses don'
t usually use up resources.
mircea_popescu: and we're not talking a bunch of little viscontis running around. they're all sorely unqualified to direct breakfast, and this makes exactly 0 impression on their multifolded narcissism. because qualification doesn'
t even exist, wtf, their qualification is existence, rite.
mircea_popescu: i also recall a time when a bunch of serb retards and a bunch of butthurt croats spent an afternoon pretending they can'
t understand each other "because speaking different languages" and "need translators". it was fucking hysterical.
phf: i suspect because the 90s hackers were a lot more mainstream, i mean they had prodigy and orbital, rollerblades and spray painted laptops. i guess wargames is from the time when nerds weren'
t "cool" at all, though they did have progressive rock, so i guess that counts for something..
a111: Logged on 2018-06-28 20:48 asciilifeform: mod6: a few yrs ago asciilifeform went ( or rather, was sent ) to a smaller/sadder version of said item, 'shmoocon', you wouldn'
t believe the sort of snake oil that was sold there
mod6: mircea_popescu: well, after thinking about it a bit, I don'
t remember seen "booths" like I was thinking of there. was at least 15 years ago though.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 isn;
t las vegas actually closer to you ? << naw, but doesn'
t matter. im sure that they wouldn'
t let us set up a booth anyway.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Cherokees didn'
t put up a fight. They made a show of imitating white culture and meaningfully resisted nothing imposed on them.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you ddin'
t know this ?! imo one of their principal achievements
mircea_popescu: o darn, wasn'
t he gonnamake a nice travelogue post ? hm ? HM ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: There's also the Rioplatense case of the bunnies that just... don'
t want to... Not if it doesn'
t involve cardboard sculpture
trinque: in the case of my sister, sails like a champ, just doesn'
t produce own wind. this seems entirely biologically appropriate for her.
mircea_popescu: i never taught anyone how to drive, i don'
t even drive myself.
mircea_popescu: if you don'
t watch at least two of them interact, then what can you say.
mircea_popescu: yes, but it ain'
t about "minor unexpected" either. it's that i was there, it has everything to do with me and how much she wants to please/impress/etc.
mircea_popescu: not at all. what, i don'
t give physics crash courses upon admission.
mircea_popescu: but i suspect you will rue this day if you were to actually get your way, and at some point in 2118 all the work available consists of "try and write this thing from tree y for tree z, we don'
t currently know why it's a broken polymorphism to the x tree"
mircea_popescu: i dunno i'd go so far as that, but it definitely isn'
t great engineering.
mircea_popescu: ifdefs don'
t flow from prime principles, they're no if.
mircea_popescu: that's the problem here. "1. we have these machines ; 2. we know they're broken ; 3. alf objects to the curative process either because he doesn'
t like its name or because that which cureth could make ill."
mircea_popescu: to which alf answers "sorry, i only fuck 19yos, i can'
t tell you why the tits sag" and i go "sure you do, but other people not as fortunate."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am starting to feel exactly like golden age antrhopologists cca 1800s going "how the fuck did these primitives who didn'
t even sail manage to have ~the same myths~ ?"
mircea_popescu: "let's make keys, and let's give them indices that aren'
t guarantee to not collide, and then let's regexp match indices in this indexed list by AN EVEN SHORTER PATTERN"
mircea_popescu: the signature is as to reading, ie, performative, i joe did this. it is not as to the world, ie, declarative, "sticks and stones won'
t break your bones".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform however : if you sign code you've not read, you sign code you've not read. if you sign code you've not ~run~, you don'
t necessarily sign code you've not read.
phf: mircea_popescu: but his argument doesn'
t indicate how pneumonia is a disease. "you will die from pneumonia" taken in isolation doesn'
t indicate "how soon", etc.
phf: asciilifeform: i'm still unconvinced by this line of argument, and not on technical merits. i think there's a point that i can'
t articulate, about what it is that you're signing exactly. an if-def-less code suffers from the same problem that you're trying to apply to ifdef specifically. i can'
t sign that printf is not malicious on the target machine.
mircea_popescu: coherence is after all expensive, and yet-another statement of "the core of this here republic" would be that we don'
t value coherence above our own heads.
phf: this argument also applies to the entirety of code off the happy path. "but dollars to doughnuts if you dun have <particularly situation> you won'
t bother reading its <conditional blocks>".
phf: you're not signing that printf on counterparty's machine doesn'
t actually bind to system("rm ...")
phf: well, in principles i'm not buying the untested code signing argument, because we don'
t have a universal measure for what code signing indicates. you've attempted to solve that problem, but it's not been used by anyone. i think right now effectively code signing works like a wot rating, without a rating. you have to consult with the signer to discover what the intent was.
