mircea_popescu: yeah but the bitch is, i'm all stately and portentuous nao. back in romania i used to write about any old random shit nine times a day.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> ah. you did yeah but actually lots of other ppl did too. eventually i was like... lazy won't solvethis one. << /me pretty sure he suggested letting the number of English articles catch up as a solution
mircea_popescu: ah. you did yeah but actually lots of other ppl did too. eventually i was like... lazy won't solvethis one.
mircea_popescu: for about a year or so now. so that thing could never have popped out by just going to root. and i doubt he could have had a google string that led to it, seeing how you know, my romanian is like triplesec.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think nobody asked us, as of yet.
punkman: "Got an idea that could improve cyber security? Submit your idea here for a chance to win £10,000 https://www.cyber10k.trust/submit/" << I got one but I don't think it's gonna win. BURN IT ALL DOWN
BingoBoingo: ;;later tell pete_dushenski I got a comment in your que ☟︎

tripleslash: I should change my wot nick so I can auth
assbot: I Like Tiny Houses But I'm Not Tiny, What Do I Do? ... ( http://bit.ly/1YPS2ru )
BingoBoingo: http://tinyhousetalk.com/not-tiny-but-i-like-tiny-houses/
mod6: thx asciilifeform, i knew that didn't look right.
brg444: do they really...? i'm often curious if it is not "subsidized"
brg444: or maybe I'm just reading too much into a couple of charts...
brg444: do away I should say*
brg444: i say we just be done with the whole area there. not that there'd be much to remove
BingoBoingo: <brg444> I'm generally bored w/ football so far this season, most NFL teams are terrible << I hope the NFL leaves St Louis.
brg444: I'm generally bored w/ football so far this season, most NFL teams are terrible
BingoBoingo: I dunno. West other than Arkansas and Auburn looking good. Prolly Ole Miss or LSU to win the conference. East as it usually is is a mystery until the last day of play.
BingoBoingo: When Mizzou plays Georgia this year I'm hoping we can just aim Beckner Jr. at him all game.
phf: oh i see
brg444: huh, about linebackers, I was under the impression they are all pretty much physical specimen
cazalla: i guess it doesn't matter anyway as american kids are now trans gender fags so you would have difficulty filling a football team full of boys who actually want to pummel the other team
assbot: Logged on 30-09-2015 23:54:38; asciilifeform: 'hamplanet' as i understand is a mark of rancid, unrepentant, irremediable... spiritual poverty - rather than lack of physical exercise as such
cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-09-2015#1289087 <<< what's this.. fat but fit, healthy at any weight meme? i think it more likely that a physically active person is not going to be a hamplanet.. obviously the lack of real food is a problem but only part of the problem ☝︎
VariaVarietatis: ;;later tell pete_dushenski I'd be willing to help with the PR. ☟︎
phf: in philly i know a handful of "linebacker in college", who got "just a little bit out of shape", i.e. where former muscle if there was ever any all got turned into fat. that's people who are, when drunk, prone to challenging each other and me when i'm there to various acts of physical fitness, usually to fail miserably. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: The hamplanetary lack of physical activity goes beyond lack of physical exercise to lack of ordinary human movement. i.e. using scooty puffs at the Walmart to navigate aisles instead of their own feet.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> 'hamplanet' as i understand is a mark of rancid, unrepentant, irremediable... spiritual poverty - rather than lack of physical exercise as such << Pretty much
asciilifeform: 'hamplanet' as i understand is a mark of rancid, unrepentant, irremediable... spiritual poverty - rather than lack of physical exercise as such ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 30-09-2015 22:14:53; cazalla: if i was american, i think i'd rather choose brain damage in sports over video games and ham planeting for my kids
mats: skywing (ken johnson, guy that patented 'aslr') reversed the battle.net login protocol, and i used his documentation to write a chat client so i didn't have to keep starcraft open to maintain ops in a channel ☟︎
mats: vidya games are how i got into programming
cazalla: if i was american, i think i'd rather choose brain damage in sports over video games and ham planeting for my kids ☟︎
ascii_field: phun phakt: i was once told, by a reliable source, that RAND corp., in its glory days, would NOT hire any man who confessed to taking an interest in football.
trinque: seems stupid, yet I don't have the time currently to discover why
trinque: just started instantiating whatever ply object it is every time I go to parse
trinque: punkman: grammar wasn't the problem, as I did not change it to fix his deed
trinque: it seems that ply parsers are one-shot, or I've missed something. So far my observation is that if you call parse successively on the same parser object, it misbehaves ☟︎
trinque: I will keep the torn-off signature up there under block 376696.
trinque: ;;later tell funkenstein sadly, new parser ripped up your last deed. happily, the part it ingested included the signature. I've since sent the whole thing back through, and it should pop out shortly.
assbot: I tried out Cuddlr, the ‘Tinder for cuddling,’ and all I got was severely creeped out - The Washington Post ... ( http://bit.ly/1LkPMVl )
BingoBoingo: Linked from the libelotron piece https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2014/09/24/i-tried-out-cuddlr-the-tinder-for-cuddling-and-all-i-got-was-severely-creeped-out/
BingoBoingo: I don't think I have
trinque: mircea_popescu | trinque we need that jobs board yo, teh cup runneth fulleth. << indeed! I estimate having something usable by the end of next weekend
BingoBoingo: <ascii_field> i have always seen american football as emblematic of usian anti-intellectualism. glorifying concussions, yes. << It's a tournament, or more a lottery market deal. It's for the poor kids to fight for the chance to make all the money they'll be able to for four years after the drop out of college in teir senior year
pete_dushenski: well it's our first date afternoon/evening, both free from le petit monstre, so i'm off. cheers !!
pete_dushenski: unless i'm being insufficiently creative
ascii_field: i have always seen american football as emblematic of usian anti-intellectualism. glorifying concussions, yes.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: unhealthy mentally maybe, but all the athletes I know are physically fit like no other.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu has it. and for sporty types, last i checked, there ~were~ sports that don't guarantee braindamage
mircea_popescu: i dun think i'd encourage any kid to play "professional" school sports. they don't get paid (no, 'scholarship' is not pay like coupons are not refunds) ; b) it's really fucking unhealthy. i mean being in shape is one thing. being "an athlete" is about as unhealthy as being a diabethic.
phf: mircea_popescu: you know it was just b-a of the 1800s. << i think of b-a as more of a stonemasone guild, then a fraternity. maybe in a couple of hundred years when b-a has hereditary wot ratings and ceremonial pgp keys that are not otherwise used for anything. the way i read that joke is that one has the trappings and the other has a trowel that is used for its direct purpose.
thestringpuller: I would expect the midwest to have baseball as the top sport.
pete_dushenski: i guess compared to being on your phone twixting your assistant prof, anything is dangerous
pete_dushenski: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/29/sports/football/As-Worries-Rise-and-Players-Flee-a-Missouri-School-Board-Cuts-Football.html << i was expecting 'due to funding' but it's actually 'due to lack of players' !
pete_dushenski: #7: Cocoa and Chocolate (Cocoa Powder) << maybe *this* is why i've been craving hot chocolate the last month or so.
jurov: it was pointedly not a zinc, i was taking that one for some time
jurov: i'm as sceptical as anyone. but it wa desperate
mircea_popescu: i wasn't aware there's a lithium biological carry.
assbot: Logged on 03-09-2015 02:08:18; mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> the other interesting thing is that the market is segmented in such a way that anyone who doesn't want mcfood ends up paying for ~all~ the alt-crackpotteries, not merely the logical ones << this is a very valid point, and the one spot where alf's ideas re meta-lizzards sound most persuasive. i do not believe the market is gerrymandered as it is by accident.
mircea_popescu: it's a sort of wikipedia meets that old women selling pots thing, i forget what it's called.
ascii_field: i did not even notice it.
ascii_field: i.e. cheap shilling for 'lockheed', 'raytheon', et al.
pete_dushenski: i mean realists !!
mircea_popescu: i'm not speedy, i'm just existing on multiple planes at the same time is all.
pete_dushenski: and ftr i'm nowhere near as speedy at these enjoyable activities as mp
pete_dushenski: i quite enjoy my time for reading, writing, etc... hmm.
pete_dushenski: this may well be the right kind of b-a 'contribution' for me, given that i can't code worth a damn.
mircea_popescu: besides, i wouldn't expect this to get anywhere within 12 months. if it does within 36 i'll be impressed.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu i certainly traveled plenty pre-monstre, though this will be decidedly diminished for at least 6-12 months. also, such trips only once coincided with a conpherence. going forward, as most traveling i do is personal touristing, these are unlikely to coincide again.
mircea_popescu: you'll be going to a lot more conferences i guess.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu and #2 is a list of journalists who may require quotes from time to time, which i would then provide directly or send them here to ask b-a directly ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeah, i figured he had me when he said that :p
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu i believe i grok the first list - straightforward enough really, compile those on 'social media' on 'our side' and focus their energies accordingly - it's the second list i'm less clear about.
pete_dushenski: even with infant, i do indeed
pete_dushenski: i'm at essentially no risk of starvation, ftr.
mircea_popescu: by which i mean, when you're not here/writing on your blog etc.
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-09-2015#1288363 << super read. just what i needed today :) ☝︎
ascii_field: i confess, i lack the full vocabulary to describe adequately a scamatron of this complexity.
jurov: yes i saw it, funny
ascii_field: when i see something like this, i cannot help but wonder if 'kickstarter' is a straight money laundry for siphoning stolen cc#
mats: the wmi talk covered some stuff i haven't seen before
mats: the movfuscator talk is good, although i think you've already looked at the writeup
mats: http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=videos/derbycon5/mainlist
ascii_field: under was in stable condition. The major is on administrative leave.' << as far as i can tell, it was the 'rats' who escalated from clubs and knives to pistols, over ~50 yrs., in the police-vs-rats warz
ascii_field: 'The police major—perhaps in mind of the nationwide spate of police killings by thugs—decided to speak to this loitering person. The content of the conversation is not yet known. The cop did tell the idiot to show his hands. The idiot refused to show his empty hands. The cop shot him in the leg—I bet that shit hurt! The major then took off his own belt and used it as a tourniquet and the last I heard the boy bl
ascii_field: i suppose these human beings, above.
assbot: Logged on 30-09-2015 04:46:49; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-09-2015#1287879 << see, the subtle differences make the difference. no, that's not what i say.
ascii_field: 'I asked a professor for help with a problem. He talked to me for a bit and then said “You’re having trouble with this problem because you don’t know anything and you’re not working very hard.”' << win
ascii_field: i don't really distinguish the quadripedal and bipedal rat
mircea_popescu: i sorta feel about these like i imagine you feel about rats.
mircea_popescu: in any case, i know that if it were possible to never ever run into either an idiot or idiot droppings, i'd gladly carry cases for the rest of my lives.
ascii_field: but i dont wanna be a porter.
ascii_field: i'm not sure there ever were, or could be, more than two sides of the menial labour counter
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-09-2015#1288069 << i like this as much as anybody, but a) i don't expect to ever live to see it come back and b) if i did live to see it, would probably end up on the suitcase-carrying side of the equation, so i don't especially cry from not living to see it. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: in any case, i have had opportunity to try this in the field : when i maneuvered teh demonstrators around the "security cordon", they didn't do anything. they fell back. cuz wtf were they gonna do.
mircea_popescu: i do not for a moment believe the ridiculous antics of nutty neoprotestant biggots in rural texas are a nucleation for anything.
mircea_popescu: i dunno that this nonsense sexual stellarity is all that common in practice.
mircea_popescu: which i guess describes the us as well as it describes polynesia, sure.
