trinque: lobbes: yes,
they crawl for "legitimate content" with good search ranking, steal, put ads next
to it
trinque: maybe just wants
to be fwiends
ben_vulpes: nattered on
to itself for 3 minutes uninterrupted; i
think it found a supply of uppers
☟︎ mircea_popescu: particularily because "probably
true, and if not might've as well been."
phf: mircea_popescu: i'm not sure how
to evaluate authenticity of whimsy
phf: they
tried re-negotiating, and couldn't understand what means "bill gates stepped down",
tried asking
to speak "to his honorable son"
phf: i believe
that in japan land
they still have sane hardware produced like
that, except
they run windows on
top of it. some bossman had ritual sake with bill gates (matching honor!) 40 years ago, and since
then every japan machine has windows on it
phf: well, ups/suspend
to ram
phf: it seems like if i'm going
to be power
tethered anyway, might as wel lhave a smaller battery purely
to keep
the ram warm in
transport
phf: yeah,
that battery is a joke, and it's
the extended one (the one
that sticks out of
the frame, unlike
the stock smaller one,
that i can't seem
to find anywhere)
phf: works great on
this x60 :D
a111: Logged on 2018-01-16 21:51 phf: but unfortunately doesn't work (i've not
tried
the
ttf one, but i suspect it'll render like shit) on
those fancy high definition flat screens kids use
these days
mircea_popescu: somehow an intricate knowledge of usg
tendril nonsense passes for "business knowledge" in moscow.
BigTexasBingo: Thing won't be able
to follow you
to a place where
there's an established lesser role
than he imagines for himself
a111: Logged on 2018-01-16 18:44 phf: i wonder if current day ru even
talks about "lost knowledge" LoTR style, or it's literally arab egyption "we're best of what could possibly be!1"
BigTexasBingo: Ben_vulpes
time is up, move yourself and
those you love
to an orcland
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform or anything else. at least
the lost of symbolics era have something
to point
to. "omg i wrote emacs!!1" "it sucked" "yeah well."
a111: Logged on 2018-01-16 18:40 phf: nah,
they "fought for freedom" such a long
time, it'll literally kill
them
to admit mistake. what's left of
that culture plays charades at roman
toga
theme new years parties in potomac and praises large kitchen, which is a step up from kitchens of 30 years ago
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-16#1771302 << i am quite persuaded by
this view. what
they disliked in bush maps exactly on what we dislike in obama and his herd of subhuman brown orcs ; and more generally what
they disliked of hitler (incidentally -- also what
they ended up copying of hitler) very much exactly maps on
the whole substance of what we don't like in pantsuit.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2018-01-16 18:25 asciilifeform: and on
top of
this,
the folx 'put
to pasture at nih' -- or at least
the ones not yet senile -- i suspect at
this point are ready
to come back
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-16#1771296 <<
they could always come back
to
the republic
they failed
to create back in 1960 when
they should have, instead of dicking about mit as if mit is
to fucking be a
thing.
there was no need of symbolics, nonsymbolics and other symbolics,
there was need of
tmsr. but... even extremely late is better
than never. somewhat.
☝︎ phf: mircea_popescu: i don't mean
the
tiny little munchkins, but
the goofy grin jetpack guy
a111: Logged on 2018-01-16 18:16 asciilifeform: stickers are for lamerz,
they'll laser-engrave Whatever You Like (tm)
ben_vulpes: funny aside is
that it claims i'm ignoring, when in point of fact
the ignorance goes strictly
the other direction
ben_vulpes: were i
to venture a guess into what's going on in
the addled mind it'd be
that it
thinks
the sum is just right
to dispatch an annoyance?
trinque: because
the point is stability of
the
tard's identity, and not
the money
ben_vulpes: funniest
thing
to me is
that
the ask is for ~0.05 btc, which is what, just
twice what real
tits bring in
these days?
shinohai: "Hi! I'm a mentally ill ex heroin user and
tried
to scam people out of Bitcoin by pretending
to be a woman. Kthanx bye"
a111: Logged on 2018-01-09 20:29 asciilifeform: in other oldies, seiko's 'DPU414'
thermal printer, can be had for <fiddybux, and not only prints 80cols x infinity (continuous
tape) but knows how
to eat rs232 and... print hexdump (up
to 19200 baud)
ben_vulpes: that i am a very shady character! and
that i have a lot of venmo accounts! and
that i have stolen cryptocurrencies ("of all
things!") from innocent people!
ben_vulpes: tranny has moved on
to calling $work lines
phf: but unfortunately doesn't work (i've not
tried
the
ttf one, but i suspect it'll render like shit) on

☟︎ a111: Logged on 2018-01-08 01:19 mircea_popescu: meh,
too
thin and sans.
trinque: lobbes: yes,
they crawl for "legitimate content" with good search ranking, steal, put ads next
to it
☟︎☟︎ lobbes: What, I wonder, is
the point of such plagiarisms.
The links still link
to original item on Loper-os; who are
they
trying
to fool? Googlebots mebbe?
a111: Logged on 2018-01-16 04:56 mircea_popescu: buffettism
through and
through, "Could anyone really believe
the earth was going
to swallow up
the incredible productive assets and unlimited human ingenuity existing in America?"
phf: correct,
the exercise is more of a "zen and
the art of motorcycle"
than anything else
phf: i actually found a lab
that repairs apple motherboards of certain vintage, cheap
phf: which i suspect is a "bga ball defect" on
the secondary video card
phf: yeah, i
think i gotta do
that.. my workhorse machine finally died at motherboard (2011 mac, colleges sighed existential relief "finally you can upgrade like a normal human being", not so fast!)
phf: anyway, i did recently replace an iphone (6?) screen, i mean, as far as legoes go
that is 6/10. i suspect people who do
that for living can do it in 1/10 of
time
phf: well, you know
those apocryphal stories of schengenese hand soldering chips on iphone boards
phf: when i started
to apple
there was an odd network of apple repair shops,
that were completely warranty voiding, but
they could do non-trivial operations on a mac (in fact with a few exceptions
the owners were knowledgable
tinkerers ready and willing
to chat about finer points of electronics hackery),
the network has been completely destroyed by
the bait and switch of "authorization"
that apple pulled right after
they started
the whole apple store
thing.
phf: (the answer is
that about %10 of shit we would pick up could be desoldered and used,
though of course we didn't have any use for it. i suppose metalist career could've started if we started selling what we recovered)
phf: why missed! my first entry into electronics was when my grandpa in his very particular way completely dismissed
the value of our electronics loot by saying "yes, but how many of
these components actually worked" and
then leaving a
tester
phf: we had a lofty plan
to steal
the head of lenin from one of
those skladi, but being 12 at
the
time, we failed
to actually procure a saw large enough
to make a dent
phf: my country house was nearby zvezdny gorodok, so lots of "skladi" (open air storage facilities, mostly for r&d and military). obviously we used
to climb over and explore mounds and mounds of electronics parts and old decomitioned army equipment, etc. but every once in a while we'lll come acros a statue of lenin
Covale`: asciilifeform, I don´t
think we had any Lenins
there, as far as I know
a111: Logged on 2018-01-16 19:14 asciilifeform: every year i hear about, e.g., 'lenin knocked down in warsaw' -- always gotta wonder 'WHERE? was it hiding all of
this
time?!'
phf: see,
that little vignette could be used
to feed a berlin artist for a year, government grants
to develop
that idea into full blown art projects. "factory visit" documentaries, interviews with
the workers, etc. got bless
the nodic system
phf: there's an east germany company
that still produces lenins for just such occassions. bulk of
their orders is arab millionaires and north-eastern u.s. college
towns, but sometimes
they get an order from
the city of warsaw and
then honest german craftsmen
take special pride in
their work, put little creases into construction
that help with
toppling, special pliant alloys, etc.
