ascii_field: BingoBoingo: 'I didn't know that,' I said. 'No one knows everything,' he said. 'Did you know,' he said, 'that until almost this very moment nothing would have delighted me more than to prove that you were a spy, to see you shot?' 'No,' I said. 'And do you know why I don't care now if you were a spy or not?' he said. 'You could tell me now that you were a spy, and we would go on talking calmly, just as we're talking now. I ☟︎☟︎
pete_dushenski: i see the future as fundamentally subtractive - that is, wiping off the shit in the eyes of physical and digital environments, curating only for the useful and productive aspects, which'd certainly be the "scavenger" element.
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-11-2015#1324951 << i'm sure i'm not the only one who appreciate and benefit from an expansion of this point. for myself, particularly the "cargo cult" element is one that's not immediately apparent. ☝︎☟︎
ascii_field: and i'd say 'nobody asked me' (tm) but kakobrekla did ask, l0l.
ascii_field: i liked it.
TheEarthVolta: BingoBoingo: OTC trader since 2013. I like reading Qntra and Trilema which led me here. I am tired of Reddit.
pete_dushenski: i'm taking my bienvenue back too
TheEarthVolta: pete_dushenski: My bad, I misread what it was.
kakobrekla: unless you are fed i guess.
TheEarthVolta: kakobrekla, Understood, I'll work on it.
TheEarthVolta: I don't have one, I'm on my own.
TheEarthVolta: kakobrekla, Yes, I just wanted to rate a couple of people I follow but couldn't because I haven't been rated myself yet.
mircea_popescu: well i got mine because sponsorship. was gonna get you and i forget who else one, but then they busted right in between payment and delivery or something. i dun recall exactly.
mircea_popescu: i don't mean your logs.
kakobrekla: and by "i", i mean anyone that know how to.
kakobrekla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-11-2015#1325170 < it doesnt matter, i can decloak anyone. its as good as plaintext ip. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: iirc in his selling the thing letter he mentioned intending to start a general technology news thing, but I haven't seen anything out of that yet
shinohai: http://dailyhashrate.com/2015/11/16/pay-us-to-shut-down/ <<< I'm doing it wrong.
ascii_field: ben_vulpes, mircea_popescu: not only do we not have them, but i haven't been touching either for weeks, instead breaking my back to pay rent.
mircea_popescu: i wonder how long until they realise trilema/b-a.com/qntra etc simply dominate google for this reason.
ascii_field: i can introduce ben_vulpes to the joys of starving
ben_vulpes: btcalpha too, if i recall correctly.
mircea_popescu: but yes, reasonable litmus : if it does this, it's by idiots for idiots and i don't want to be there. so i move.
mircea_popescu: if it worked i'd have not bothered to notice.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i dunno what you just said. what's jsapp ?
assbot: Logged on 14-11-2015 22:51:46; jurov: btw, i have never seen 17yo able to fix problem somewhere deep in html/js/css stack, or even being able to do multicolumn design with misc resize contraints from first principles
assbot: Logged on 16-11-2015 16:01:12; mircea_popescu: i dunno if anyone's ever seen a watermelon field, but : in the future [like, next year ?] they have this arrangement where there's central piping out in a filed, and fat people go to live in a conected bubble. think "van camping" except without the wheels. they're marketed as you know "reduce your carbon footprint and care for the environment" etc, but basically it is is a suit with lcds and a shitpi
ben_vulpes: i...did not know that.
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: i never once had cloak here
trinque: I can't possibly believe the meta-usg theory.
BingoBoingo: But seriously, I told you the Mizzou stuff wasn't going to be news this week.

mircea_popescu: while i have nfi why he gets that (it's usually a busted router), the site itself is down.
jurov: i have nameservers elsewhere (even for domains reg'd at namecheap) and never had such longstanding teething problems
BingoBoingo: https://i.imgur.com/n8cR4e4.jpg
BingoBoingo: Oh, look who got the FPH treatment while I was sleeping https://voat.co/v/fatpeoplehate/comments/660055
mod6: if we did, i guess we'd have to rewrite the build script for buildroot.
mod6: asciilifeform: i updated that rotor+V script: http://dpaste.com/15RZASM.txt
BingoBoingo: I don't think the anglophone world knew of hormones until the brown dog incident
BingoBoingo: "I ran his sdrol of the first batch he came out with, and it was def sdrol. I can't say anything about the following batches however" << Because the way to identify chemicals is with one's fee-fees
mircea_popescu: "why did you behead this man ?" "i wanted to see if it has dbol in it, your honor."
mircea_popescu: "I read that if it turns red quickly its dbol or has dbol in it."
PeterL: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-11-2015#1324455 << My daughters both have their own sewing machines, though I admit is an uncommon asset for girls under 10 ☝︎
testingthisstuff: adlai: i admit that i don't practice my ideology in the real world to the full extent and am afraid it's frowned upon here. but i shouldn't care, i guess. people frown all the time.
mircea_popescu: ahahaha i had forgotten
trinque: I resemble that remark.
testingthisstuff: adlai, mircea_popescu: thank you. i don't mind being my real self. i want to get into the WoT and start participating, looking for the best ways. always thought tor was a good idea but it seems not. I'll start reading at least 6 months of logs, as per the instructions, to catch up
testingthisstuff: mircea_popescu, thanks, I'm lurking and, at the same time, trying to find out how to connect to freenode with Tor.
kakobrekla: so, i made the mistake of visiting bitcointalk again. got banned 8 minutes after the mention of mpex and had all the previous non related posts deleted. new record for sure.
mircea_popescu: i blame the republic.
mircea_popescu: and re the oil discussion : the matter is very complex, notwithstanding how important it is. and yes, broadly speaking it's correct to say that the trend is to move "technical basis" of price away from "marginal cost of new capacity" to "operating cost of extant capacity". the reason for this however i propose is not by a longshot policy, but purely existential (in simple terms, we, ie the world, ie white people are mo
phf: jurov: apparently most irc clients try utf8, if invalid, then cp1252 fallback: http://xchat.org/encoding/ << yeah, that's basically the hack that i'm using in my homegrown log reader. read the stream, if it errors out on encoding issues, rewind back to last known good position, read again with latin-1, switch back to utf-8
jurov: i guess to stop overlong URLs, we gotta genocide the cascadians, too.
trinque: I am certain they will.
trinque: I took pains to make sure what ended up deeded didn't end up mangled from kakobrekla's copy; bytes in bytes out
phf: i suspect that your client is 8bit clean and simply passes things through as they are given to it
mircea_popescu: moreover, the text i fucking used as a base is latin-1.
phf: the easiest option is for mp to make sure that his client is sending utf-8 at all times, but i've no idea what ungodly combination of xterm/xchat settings achieves that reliably
mircea_popescu: i don't like any of them. i just despise some more than others.
mircea_popescu: eh i wouldn't go that far.
mircea_popescu: in other words, turns out i hate contemporary europe a helluva lot more than i hate muslims. which i suppose makes me exactly a libertard, politically.
mircea_popescu: meanehile ina.fr takes a week to load main page, you know what shitheads, i hope they bomb you too.
asciilifeform: i fuckin hate diacritic marks
mircea_popescu: if i use plain letters "oh, it's not found", if i use shitmarks, either.
mircea_popescu: now i can't search fucking french
mircea_popescu: i mean, not having any idea what hitler said, whatever, they're stupid. but not de gaulle either ? not anyone ? "i have a dream" an' thassit ?
btcdrak: BingoBoingo: I would love too, finding time is the problem atm.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i can also interview mental patients and then transcribe the results and publish them as "the crazy ramblings of us libertards". this is probably more factual than the breitbart butthurt. << Seems valuabru

mircea_popescu: kakobrekla oh i see, THERE it's about the version. if it were a different version than 3.1 it'd have been fine, because windows is usgtronics. MEANWHILE the problems with gpg-hijacked are really problems WITH PGP.
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-11-2015#1324494 << i think this is "piece work" in usa ☝︎
punkman: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-11-2015#1324459 << I think main use was repair and modifications ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 15-11-2015 01:18:00; mircea_popescu: maybe i'm not holding it the right side up or something.
phf: this is the default approach, but i've never looked at this sort of papers before. it's more like a shimmering mound that you saw from the window of your house upon closer inspection turned out a pile of shit covered in flies. "omg there's shit everywhere! and flies!"
asciilifeform: which i try to leave to the mega-entomologists
asciilifeform: i'll consider reading a paper with actual maths/algo but anything else now tends to fall into 'entomology'
assbot: Logged on 15-11-2015 03:30:48; phf: i've not looked at the original why johnny can't, but after my recent in-depth exposure to "conscientious programmers" rabbit hole decided to look at the paper's methodology. linked arxiv is a new addition to the subject, oct 29th
asciilifeform: but at least 1.x doesn't (i shit thee not) invoke x11 crud
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-11-2015#1324679 << i found that 1.x is also pretty sad. ☝︎

assbot: InfoSec Education: Because Stéphane Bortzmeyer Is Lazy. And I'm Not. | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... ( http://bit.ly/1QE2YFl )
mircea_popescu: "(Let's not get into the NSA's collect-it-all policy for encrypted messages. If the NSA is your adversary just forget about PGP.)" << yeah, right. THAT is why i read their stuff and they don't read my stuff, because i take advice from john hopkins fucktards.
phf: couldn't find it in logs, but i'm fascinated by this "research". top comment on lobste.rs where it got posted links to http://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2014/08/whats-matter-with-pgp.html which was pretty discussed. "there's consensus!" somebody ought to publish meta study of "gpg poor usability"
assbot: Logged on 15-11-2015 01:10:22; mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo if you feel like hunting down the fabled papers this insult to culture has defecated upon the language of his father's masters, i'd like to hear a summary.
pete_dushenski: i blame carbon.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if i was running forward ss in 1985 moscow, what i'd do is have a huge supply of $stuff crash 30 miles from moscow.
asciilifeform: i suspect that this'd be one of those cases where the constituent parts would spontaneously rearrange themselves on the sheer strength of the premined coin
mircea_popescu: ironic, i guess
mircea_popescu: i'd rather work as an orderly at some establishment dedicated to humor research on public moneys (also known as insane asylum) than be a fucking professor in the us.
asciilifeform: i suppose it can also be inferred that the coke machine is ready
mircea_popescu: "oh, if i take a million bux and one plastic golden medal from the nobel pocket and put it intop the ucla pocket, someone's going to take it at face value!11"
mircea_popescu: i have no idea what strained whey must be found in their brainboxes to imagine someone actually gives half a rat's arse what the usg CALLS the moving of moneys from one pocket to another.
mircea_popescu: cuz i said it won't be.
mircea_popescu: maybe i'm not holding it the right side up or something. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i have this pile of very secret derpage here including the very expert "profile" of some random derp explaining how an elderly, principled gentleman is perhaps going to react crazily to the crass injustice of this entire scheme. ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo if you feel like hunting down the fabled papers this insult to culture has defecated upon the language of his father's masters, i'd like to hear a summary. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: been at ucla since 1988 (that's 27 years for the mit-educated log readers), and what he has to say for it is "oh, i heard of bitcoin recently".
mircea_popescu: and now i wanna know which one.
pete_dushenski: i'm losing touch either on account of family, internets, or... something. but a regular on 'the scene' is not me. not anymore.
mircea_popescu: no, i gotta quote this damned thing, it's incredible.
