assbot: Logged on 24-11-2015 21:36:12; jurov: i'm still here
assbot: Logged on 24-11-2015 19:41:30; punkman: "When I said I want what my parents had, I meant loan-free education and a nice house, not the looming threat of war with Russia."
jurov: dunno really, how i could look better. even the hair refuses to fall out as much as predicted
jurov: i'm still here ☟︎
jurov: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-11-2015#1330846 omg, i broke mercury thermometer near bed over a table, with drops likely fell to a carpet ☝︎
BingoBoingo: I don't think they mine fast enough to fund such a bounty
phf: (experience of The Combine as a palpable thing for example, during his pranksters period turned into attempts at active manipulation of others, i.e. The Consensus, through Control, which pranksters called "putting them into our movie". if you can put them into our movie, you can make them read our lines. etc.)
punkman: "When I said I want what my parents had, I meant loan-free education and a nice house, not the looming threat of war with Russia." ☟︎
punkman: well I just grabbed the dead tree and reread last two pages. looks pretty stupid now.
mircea_popescu: i don't have a straight answer, but i will say that having been in argentina for a while now and having observed the assorted insanities they sport here, grouped for convenience under the "inseguridad" thematic, i understand a lot more of the fate of the new world.
mircea_popescu: if it fit i wouldn't have cared to review it.
mircea_popescu: all i see is disproportionate violence (note that mcmurphy doesn't set fire to the fucking hospital - heck he doesn't even LEAVE when he has the chance, because reasons.) and disavowal (really, the voices in your head told you to, maybe, who knows ? what are you, a dumbass us girl that has to get herself drunk to be able to have sex ?)
adlai: i really disliked fight club because it lets the infantile 'rage' overshadow the parts that it shares with oneflew
punkman: thestringpuller: adlai: didn't that happen with fight club as well? << I thought epilogue of the book was better than movie ending
mircea_popescu: way i see it both try the same thing, in their own medium : describe the doomed situation of a society which has lost male force and is now going into castration mode at the hands of the decaying female biomass. it's a failure mode of human populations, well known, well understood, amply documented.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller i dunno if you did this deliberately or not, but really, it's too smooth to not credit you with it.
mircea_popescu: i suppose all the lsd and mental hospital moonlighting are there because he's all secure in his dominion, right.
mircea_popescu: the chief narrator device is mostly there to insulate the author from tyhe material, best i can tell.
adlai: well i guess mcmurphy is the "main character", but the book has a narrator. i'm not sure i've seen a movie yet where narration didn't interfere with the story
mircea_popescu: i dun think trilema was ever sfw anyway.
thestringpuller: i will shamelessly open it in work anyways
mircea_popescu: i've just had the world's worst peach. what the fuck this tree should be ashamed of itself.
mircea_popescu: i know what you're saying, man. i fully know what you're saying.
kakobrekla: well your idea was that i would periodically flush btc to you, which i declined.
mircea_popescu: it's a reasonable condition. iirc the bitbet thing was a straight meeting of the minds, i wasn't going to do it with anyone else as treasurer anyway.
kakobrekla: and so i am not fungible
kakobrekla: here the story was different, it was my condition that i am the treasurer if we are doing this
kakobrekla: anyway, when we were doing bitbet i was explicit about not wanting to handle other peoples money
mircea_popescu: now i know what you mean.
kakobrekla: you know what i mean
kakobrekla: as it is now i dont have any obligation to keep it running, if one day i wake up and have enough i can just shut it down singlehandedly - if listed anywhere, this changes ☟︎
kakobrekla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-11-2015#1330741 < one problem is that i am, among other things, the sole treasurer for the company and i am getting tired of it ☝︎
BingoBoingo: I mean enough US gears is in ISIS hands Russia had to assume the US infared IFF market meant ISIS had taken that warship as loot
mircea_popescu: i recall a time when my gpu did
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform recall the discussion of "philips desperate to stick its shitendrils in here before led takes over" i think
punkman: I'm considering getting some proper LEDs, they high-wattage ones don't look too bad
punkman: no more like http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51KTjmvITFL._SL1027_.jpg
mircea_popescu: yes i man the cock. i was reasurring you.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i somehow suspect less than 1 in 500/15 young men die within 5 years. << Aha. The scam is rates to renew policy gradually increase up until 40-50 years of age and then insurance company is all "lol, nope" which makes derps wonder where "affordable" life inurance went when they had no such thing before. Customer backloads their risk, insurance company frontloads theirs and whoever quits the game of chicken first wi ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i thought you said ?
mircea_popescu: i mean asciilifeform
asciilifeform: there is I and Br
mircea_popescu: i somehow suspect less than 1 in 500/15 young men die within 5 years. ☟︎
wyrdmantis: but i'm also looking to fire up a linux box
wyrdmantis: danielpbarron, no i'm having issues on both mac and win...
pete_dushenski: and with that, i wish thee all a good night :)
pete_dushenski: "if the community tells me my ideas are valuable, a magic wand is waved and so it becomes ! and with it so too do i become a real boy !"
mircea_popescu: that dude is pretty lulzy tho. "i like thinking outloud on shitter, it helps me gauge how deep in the latrine i am"
gribble: brendafdez was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 34 weeks, 5 days, 7 hours, 24 minutes, and 3 seconds ago: <brendafdez> mircea_popescu it works now. Anyway the IP I'm on now is one of a public AP, it shouldnt be whitelisted. I'll later give you my home IP, and BingoBoingo has my VPS IP already. I didn't know you were filtering.
btcdrak: mircea_popescu: she kept mentioning bitcoin-assets, I assumed she was in this channel.
btcdrak: I normally abhor war and violence but I laughed so hard when I saw that.
BingoBoingo: ;;later tell adlai I got this one
mircea_popescu: that's the worst layouyt for one i ever saw and wtf is with the window
hanbot: mircea_popescu you forgot a step for pufuleti i mean profit
mircea_popescu: lol remember that time when i invented stickers and everyone got crazy butthurt ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dun get it, some hiking blog ?
asciilifeform: engl.-speaking folks can enjoy 'i am the only literate for radius of ten thousand li'
mircea_popescu: i dunno that anyone who isn't born in a minor culture can ever enjoy this situation of "i am the only literate one of my people. literally."
mircea_popescu: other than the same-day homage thing, i would guess between half and two thirds of every romanian blog is either a straight lift, a bad translation or a more or less hacky adaptation of either current or historical trilema.
assbot: I need some legal advice, because my roommate is a paranoid imbecile! - The Something Awful Forums ... ( http://bit.ly/1TbqSrc )
kakobrekla: too bad i didnt take another.
kakobrekla: couple of weeks ago i saw a pig so fat he could not see anything for last 2 years
trinque: BingoBoingo: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/05/24/article-1280781-09B6EBA7000005DC-563_468x453.jpg << check out this fat fuck
danielpbarron: mod6, ya I'm almost there
mod6: anyway, i dunno, for me its a toss up between For Whom The Bell Tolls & A Farewell To Arms.
mircea_popescu: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WildMassGuessing << this is pretty interesting. the idea being, and i cite, "The trope has also become increasingly important in more traditional fiction as of late because the Internet's technological revolution is such that an author's "twists" could easily be predicted ahead of time if enough clever fans put their heads together and talk things over. (And over.) "
mircea_popescu: "Your proposition may be good, but let's have one thing understood — whatever it is, I'm against it! And even when you've changed it or condensed it, I'm against it!"
mircea_popescu: i jus' said that!
asciilifeform: if anybody here has a current vt subscription, i'd like the samples, thx
mircea_popescu: ok, but i mean specifically "who the fuck embeds this ip"
mircea_popescu: from what i can see this'd be some sort of "server for linux" or whatevs.
danielpbarron: i'll be here
asciilifeform: i'd have loaded. this sorta nugget is worth having to douse a box in petrol
mircea_popescu: well no, i'm not instrumented to extract any payloads.
mircea_popescu: mod6 i suspect so.
mircea_popescu: so i come back to find that xchat is seeking permission to download "sol.desktop", supposedly a 498 byte file sent by someone from... 192.168.0.29 (port 50234).
mod6: lol, i racked up like 1500 low qual grass lastnight
mod6: maybe i'll just post like the last 10`000 lines or something.
mod6: each time it's crashed, there hasn't been anything too telling in the logs. i'll post my log, and the charts along with the raw nmon metrics collection.
mod6: i did check as recently as yesterday and it was fully sync'd.
jurov: i run mine intermittently, still feeding from 0.10, did not die yet. but it complains about nonstandard tx all the time
mod6: so my compiled version of TEST2 (running on a m3.medium instance) died again, finally. i saw it die twice within about 15 days of eachother in october. so this time I ran nmon the entire time.
jurov: i guess so, it's much more convenient
MrChrisJ: thought I would check it out
MrChrisJ: I was told about this place on Twitter
jurov: i can't move to a country where grindr is illegal
asciilifeform: i thought he got a bag of $maxint and cookies directly from obamitler
shinohai: I hope BingoBoingo does a Qntra take on Achmed the clock boy's parents filing civil suit for a cool 15 mil
phf: ffi left me so unsure of the state of the system, i couldn't make myself trust the result. it's like 4 abstraction layers, all leaking.
phf: but yeah i switched back to writing cweb, and made progress on it, but the amount of careful thinking that's required with c, lisp prototype would not have bought me anything.
phf: asciilifeform: you were right re gossip prototype in common lisp. it was a needless distraction, i spent a long time getting lisp gpgme bindings working, and the end result was still pos. i'll just send the patches to gnupg ml, and maybe they'll update upstream, but that's not gotten me anywhere closer. i learned that cffi is mostly a mess. (someone worked some improvements on cffi recently, which resulted in cffi documentation being
mircea_popescu: (when i was a kid there was this other kid that got REALLY angry whenever i told a joke. "ITS NOT LIKE THAT".
asciilifeform: most folks solve this 'problem' (if you will) simply by 'i dun wanna talk about the war'
mircea_popescu: it all depends what it's for. i add shit to every joke as a matter of course.
asciilifeform: i always found it interesting how come personalities are natural confabulators - in the sense that even if the fella has something legitimate to brag about, he will still insist on adding flourishes and 'shit bolted on the side'
mircea_popescu: this is the direct equivalent of the heckled comedian going "hey, i work here! how would you like it if i came to your workplace and hecked you!"
mircea_popescu: no, dumbass, "writers aren't writers". i don't give a shit "you just want to".
mircea_popescu: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InformedAbility << i introduce this into the record as the definitive reason ustarda can't write.
BingoBoingo: https://i.imgur.com/OuE60oQ.jpg
mircea_popescu: (i'm not asking emptily. i know he's nobody, because i don't know who the fuck he is. i googled, and the only hit is a 2014 article in which forbes is pushing the same name on the same topic. so really, worse than nobody. so then ?)
