a111: Logged on 2018-03-02 18:21 mircea_popescu: JUST SO, the bank ~sold~ people bills to itself. if you pay the bank $5, you get in exchange... a bill for $5, that you can give to the bank,
as if the bank had sat in your restaurant and ate $5 worth.
BingoBoingo: Well, trinque They might be able to smoke it all day
as price goes in the direction it does for robust agricultural commodities
ben_vulpes: and so the bankers will call on margin again and again
as the marktomarket value descends.
ben_vulpes: it's entirely saleable
as an input to industrial processes in precisely the same manner
as nicotine is sprayed on cigarettes
mircea_popescu: outside of the imperial racket supporting it, ganja is worth exactly the same
as usg's "intellectual property" or usg's "real estate" : ~0.
trinque: obviously there are other problems. if you want musl, you need ebuilds with musl patches.
as it stands on stock gentoo, this means using "layman" which for the musl overlay, eats directly from shithub
trinque: mmmhm. they specifically called out gcc-4.x
as excluded from glorious future.
mircea_popescu: exactly
as stated : that some of the usable bipedal mammals will get a serial id ; the unusable will get nothing. there's no birthright to the lordship.
fromdeedbot: lol.. I have looked a lot into estomia e-citizen program
as well
mircea_popescu: not so much
as a prerequisite
as a filter. reading helps you figure out if it's for you.
fromdeedbot: hah, that’s good advice. noted….
As far
as what to express specifically, I’m not sure exactly yet, but this has always interested me and I have waited long enpough
fromdeedbot: i would like to start
as low level
as i can without overdoing it
mircea_popescu: and this is also why ~nobody of any consequence reads any of them. i'd rather read engelbert humperdinck's introduction to greek philosophy. at least he sings, which, unrelated
as it may be, IS WAY THE FUCK MORE THAN ANY OF THESE IDLE FUCKTARDS EVER DID. or will ever do.
mircea_popescu: the world will be either authoritarian or totalitarian ; and only one of those is livable (though to people living through its early dissolution phases, it seems altogether
as if things are improving -- much like the case may be that preteen orphans may subjectively perceive their first few hours with their new status actually liberating. then dinner time comes, and wel... the unbearable sadness of solitude sneaks in. somehow
mircea_popescu: and that's what ultimately killed "music" (
as particularly understood in the 1950-1980 interval) for schelling point-ness : the realisation that the only possible conclusion is cobain's ; and hence all the emo / goth / etc bs, tiptoeing around old man charon's boat.
mircea_popescu: ll be a condensate of hot topic and assorted politrucking, but it will be there,
as a matter of course.
mircea_popescu: but seriously now, so there's 10k, maybe 50k inept kids in this vertical. do you realise that's less than the average vampire stories franchise gets ? and do you understand they are EXACTLY
as useful / capable / potent / whatever objective measure of capacity to alter reality ?
mircea_popescu: i guess. though i suspect it's a sad life to play the transvestite
as only avenue to getting laid.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, not really ; in the early gosplan days they even had competition,
as alf aptly pointed out during some previous discussion.
mircea_popescu: the soviets of russia, much like the soviets of america, very insistently alfabetized the herd ; but lacked the electronic means to plug them in, all they had was electric. and
as a result, "people's radio theatre"
ben_vulpes: perhaps i misconcieve of the industrial processes, and could benefit from experience, but i labor under the apprehension that there was "teh one su car, designed by su factory" whereas american product is "ten stanford cucks who think the exact same way writing the exact same banking app that chase will release
as a feature in two years, written by their peers who took salaries instead of grahams
mircea_popescu: they seem indistinguishable to me, "marxism-leninism" or "awareness, eco-friendliness, blabla" serving
as a specific sort of distance-only schelling points -- ie they only work at a distance.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-11 20:33 mircea_popescu: i dun recall EVER hearing "carolina is the suck" in local drawl ; but people from ohio will literally ask you "what, and you came here ?!"
as if they can't conceive anyone who isn't born there being found there even momentarily.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: lobbes, incidentally, i've noticed the people's subjective reported dissatisfaction is one of the best proxies for local suckitude. ~100% of romanians agreed that romania sucks, 1988, and
as a result romania went from ~gabon to ~austria in 30 years. meanwhile columbia people agreed with themselves "they love their country", and columbia went from columbia to columbia in the interval. nicaragua idem.
phf: yeah, dakar rally for trucks is a european take on monster truck rally thing, not
as larger than life over the top, but taps the same kind of feelings
mircea_popescu: also very large cacti count
as "wooden" in this sense. but i mean gimme a break, yes wood is supposed to float, but not in acetone ffs.
mircea_popescu: i mean, that nut with the "mac on cheese on pizza awesum!" is actually adventurous and far sighted with reference to her peer group. sad
as that may sound.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, odds are very much no women cooking in his life. it is universally my experience esl girls do not even conceptuialize such a miracle
as "make your own food" is possible.
danielpbarron: Victims include developers at big companies such
as Microsoft, Facebook, Eventbrite, and a bunch of Neet employees (probably used the same weak tool) << Guy thinks "neet" is a company?
a111: Logged on 2016-08-16 21:10 mircea_popescu:
as it's not acctually correctly designed it 1) creates false sense of security ; 2) creates unnecessary byzantinism and "can't pop the hood on this"
mircea_popescu: my only concern here is whether this actually invalidates the e, N, comment republican format,
as a rsa key format.
mircea_popescu: but it goes to show what seems to me actually an intrinsic failure of the ssh key format : the fact that it isn't self-signed (rather more generally, the fact that it "segwits" the metadata, having the whole authority mechanism separated from the actual key [and generally implemented
as "this key has authority because $user emailed it to me"]) makes it very vulnerable to any failure outside of itself, and impossible to evalua
mircea_popescu:
as you know, plenty of them have,
as proven by recent publishments.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-11 13:44 asciilifeform: additionally, the difficulty of keying in random garbage and having it show up
as 'key', has worked to date
as primitive, yet 100% effective, spam control.
diana_coman: so much weird in that set re key generation; many seem to have e=35 which sounds like one step further from "we like 37" (so why not 35, it's a number just
as good
as 37!)
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, phuctor acts
as a de facto ssh to gpg bridge now, can download the gpg style keys.
lobbes: But, once I learn to properly represent www
as ASTs we can have the beginnings of a proper republican archive
lobbes sacrificed an old lappy
as the proverbial 'public toilet'; loaded to the hilt with js-crapolade
lobbes: mircea_popescu: aye, but try that out for yerself; comes back
as 0 bytes
ben_vulpes: esthlos: yeah, that's what i did and i think asciilifeform
as well
mircea_popescu: the one thing pantsuit kept saying early on was "oh, everyone is mp". this is not coincidental --
as far
as the lost are concerned, we are literally all tulpas in one single solitary dood's head. because that's what comes out of their b&w camera when they try and photograph copper sulphate : the exact same dull gray
as if ground granite.
mircea_popescu: looky here, and read this thrice and understand it thoroughly : the "no identity outside of wot" / "all sybil heads are sybil heads" works EVERYWHERE, not just where you realise it does. the circumstance that the sybil is talking to ~you~ does not get to a) corroborate with the fact that you have a strong idea of the self and therefore b) result in any practical effect.
as far
as they are concerned, we're all exactly equal an
BingoBoingo:
As as humid
as it is here, I don't want mushrooms growing inside me. It's a river valley so everyone is assumed to be carrying histoplasmosis
BingoBoingo:
As long
as your coins sit in an address that starts with the number 1 and you control the keys your are safe
BingoBoingo: steel: The way weird brokenshit like segwit and other turds that live in addresses that start with 3 work is that real nodes see them
as "spend to any"
mircea_popescu: this is an absolute certainty. the only part up in the air is when, but absolutely, everything the power rangers do will get reverted,
as a matter of course.
mircea_popescu: but if he reads the log
as indicated, it's all discussed in therew.
mircea_popescu: trinque, i suppose his (intuitive, unexamined) idea is that the item's reversible and will get reversed (
as it is, and will) and doesn't know how it'd work in practice.
steel: everywhere
as in, scammy exchanges
steel: Now I am forced to buy Segwits being sold
as Bitcoin
spyked: and of course, thing can advertise rss via pm
as well. but I'll only post public details about the bot
as soon
as I'm fairly confident that it won't shatter upon douchebag's first attempt to exploit it.
mircea_popescu: eh, ssd disks aren't that expensive. this doubles
as an effective ssd tester bed.
pete_dushenski: couldn't find this in the logs (so apologies if it's a repost) but holy shit is usg.btc scraping the bottom of the barrel if fatso karpeles is being resurrected
as "cto" of privateinternetaccess (vpn)
http://archive.is/XusOQ mircea_popescu: anyway, re confession, the "I think it essential that I inform the investigation of a series of new facts concerning my moral-personal dissoluteness. I mean my longtime vice of homosexuality." part is, at the very least, truthful
as far
as anyone knows (and corroborated, histortically)
BingoBoingo: And to top it all off,
as much
as my walking speed has slowed today, THEY STILL WON'T STOP STOPPING
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ask god when your time comes, who they were. just
as soon he's done with explaining turbulent flow he'll explain history to you, too.
