asciilifeform: '...'I'm happy to say,' said Arpad, 'that fourteen S.S. men were shot on our recommendation. Adolf Eichmann himself congratulated us. 'You met him, did you?' I said. 'Yes' said Arpad, 'and I'm sorry I didn't know at the time how important he was.' 'Why?' I said. 'I would have killed him,' said Arpad.'
asciilifeform: obligatory: ''How would they dare?' he said. 'I was such a pure and terrifying Aryan that they even put me in a special detachment. Its mission was to find out how the Jews always knew what the S.S. was going to do next There was a leak somewhere, and we were out to stop it' He looked bitter and affronted, remembering it, even though he had been that leak. 'Was the detachment successful in its mission?' I said. 'I'm happy to s

BingoBoingo: jurov: I could see it. Tontines make some pretty good stories too.
BingoBoingo: jurov: ty for the Truecrypt link. I almost forgot that was ever a thing. ☟︎

phf: ascii_field: saw it of course. i wanted to cut out the whole blkcut -> block -> eatblock roundtrip, plus i want to see how fast it can eat at saturation. which is surprisingly not fast at all
ascii_field: (as i understand, anyone who so much as touched bitcoind since $10 or so is guilty until proven innocent of being a gavin)
ascii_field: phf: i never saw a reason to put the iteration of blocks in the cpp. really it is a job for scripting lang from outside
phf: i added eatbulk to bitcoind that takes a folder with blk dat files and eats them in order, provisioning the node at the moment. pointless graphs time! http://glyf.org/tmp/height-time.png hours vs block height, http://glyf.org/tmp/height-delta.png block height vs delay from previous ACCEPTED ☟︎
thestringpuller: I thought it was a snake and turtle
thestringpuller: "You're standing right now with nine delegates from 100 gangs. And there's over a hundred more. That's 20,000 hardcore members. Forty-thousand, counting affiliates, and twenty-thousand more, not organized, but ready to fight: 60,000 soldiers! Now, there ain't but 20,000 police in the whole town." << I would think if gangs outnumber the police the last thing you want is an escalation of war. I.e. national guard/army
ascii_field: and since mircea_popescu appears to be sleeping, i will have to fill in for him and say 'this is what usians get for not being pashtuns!' aha. ☟︎
thestringpuller: I figured so when using them in academia.
thestringpuller: Yea I also figure you aren't a fan of DMA
ascii_field: thestringpuller: i'd say it cannot.
phf: ahaha, i've not seen this
phf: ^ i think it's such an exquisite stab at freemasonry. a brief fictional exchange reveals the absurdity of the entire "pretense" ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 22-08-2015 21:34:31; phf: "You? Impossible! A mason?" "A mason," I replied. "A sign," he said, "a sign." "It is this," I answered, producing from beneath the folds of my roquelaire a trowel.
jurov: cargocult masonry aside, i surmised they invented structured discussion, i.e. it was clear at all times whose turn is to speak ☟︎☟︎
trinque: I recall my grandfather saying they weren't much more than a social club at the time I was asking
ascii_field: i knew a fella who signed up. he brewed beer.
BingoBoingo: <ascii_field> tremendously posh infrastructure still in place, but the regulars are - i have it on good authority - in their 70s and 80s << They still recruit.
trinque: I have a grandfather's freemason pin on a jacket; he was about that age when he passed away
ascii_field: tremendously posh infrastructure still in place, but the regulars are - i have it on good authority - in their 70s and 80s ☟︎
ben_vulpes: nonsense i say
phf: there was a period when apple was not this outright hostile to hackers. around 10.4-10.5 you could still rebuild darwin (i did it for a bit to work around the retarded execl argument list length limitations) or bsd user space from apple hosted source. even cocoa userspace had all kinds of hooks that you could use to customize the os, like inputmanager bundles

ascii_field: 'the car bomb exploded. the mechanic cursed and pulled on another wire. the car bomb exploded again, with greater violence. windows rattled, dogs barked. 'you definitely have a car bomb, sir, i can tell you that now!' he muttered.' ☟︎
phf: around 2g/3g you still had "linux on iphone" projects and such. i think there was one project to recreate part of iphone stuck by combining opensource apple code and writing what's missing. this is of course long history.
mircea_popescu: i find it comedic that for all the "well documented" flaws of rsa, all these "take over the world" computing schemes fail to use ECC.
mircea_popescu: i thought you couldn't disable sip altogether ?
mircea_popescu: so you drill it out i guess
mircea_popescu: i thought the trend was towards rooted iphones not the other way around
mircea_popescu: but then again i never really owned a mac so whatevs.
mircea_popescu: i dunno about any of that
ascii_field: and mircea_popescu is right, i was thinking in reality of the Christmas Offensive
ascii_field: 'i do not know for sure how the city buildings connected to the power plant, but the accidentally preserved 'testament to the right to utilize the mains grid energy', you can see that our home was connected to the mains on 20 january 1950, and the permit was written ~only~ for light bulbs, starting with 50 watt, then progressing to 145...
mircea_popescu: nah i mean in the original country.
ascii_field: is 'cheater' - even in english-speaking lands. from this i surmise that they, too, once had 'headcount' fees on mains socket
mircea_popescu: ascii_field sure but also not really teh point is i.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> problem is the stockpile keeps getting drunk. << I believe the concept is "inventory buffer"
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=28-09-2015#1286918 << must point out that this is easily fixed with drill, often - with bare hands; and that i have yet to meet anyone who actually ~uses~ shower head which came with his house or flat - they go in the rubbish, to be replaced by proper one with hose ☝︎
thestringpuller: i can hit it from VPN tho
mircea_popescu: yeah i guess qntra ddoser got his monthly allowance or w/e that is.
mircea_popescu: how can i be this fuckign rich ?
funkenstein_: aha, yeah i can see it
mircea_popescu: in other news, https://i.chzbgr.com/full/5682494208/hE78C470E/
mircea_popescu: let there be a monotonous measurable system S. let Mi be measurements made at moments-in-time Ti. let average-per-unit-time delta values be reported for each Ti as Ai = (Mi - Mi-1) / (Ti - Ti-1). let an arbitrary "reporting unit" R be defined so that a finite count of Ti fit in each such unit Rj. Let Ais be plainly averaged so that A' = (Ak +...+ Am) / (m-k) where k, m are the first and last i's for Tis fitting in Rj.
mircea_popescu: i would suspect there's more random common law criminals being shielded by the usg from various jurisdictions than there are successful prosecutions in any given year.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-09-2015#1287284 << i would guess this is what the anton story morphed into. ☝︎
HeySteve: hmm. well it's looking like you called another one. what do you think about BitShares? it looks like it can do what I want but seems a little too good to be true
HeySteve: I was looking for a way to do multi-sig with coins pegged to fiat or PM, so investigated Ethereum
HeySteve: I can't believe people put 37k BTC in that
mircea_popescu: https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/3monji/vitalik_buttering_author_of_ethereum_cannot_even/ << i lolled.
HeySteve: I think they only hit demographic problems around 2030 or so whereas EU, USA and Japan are already there
mircea_popescu: well then i dunno what you mean. the us has had low birth rate since before it was "developed", ie a century ago. england has had low birth rate throughout it's four centuries of being developed. china had lower birth rate in its undeveloped 80s than it does today.
HeySteve: erm, partially I'd say
HeySteve: mircea_popescu, ok well what I mean is that birth rates are low or negative in developed countries
HeySteve: hmm roxanna, I've heard that story somewhere. I think in an old Sean Connery movie...
HeySteve: I guess you can bring in waves of immigrants too and hope they take out a load of home and car loans
mircea_popescu: i guess handouts rot the brain.
mircea_popescu: The following, which gives the flavor, is from Andrea Dworkin, who I gather is a sort of museum-piece siege howitzer for feminism. It's pretty much how they all talk. Listen:
mircea_popescu: looking through that site - seems the average lifetime of a "serious" blog is in the hundreds. i would guess from my own experience less than 1% of a personal attempt survives the 1k articles mark.
mircea_popescu: i must admit i'm a little confused by the internet.
cazalla: i know that feel
cazalla: BingoBoingo, i know ya got a big stockpile of liquor
mircea_popescu: i expect ~half the various anarcho-this and that, so-and-so-punks etc are pretty much equal to that when it comes to social organizing. "let's all live as dunbar number communes in the desert, inaccessible from one another like."
mircea_popescu: and honestly, if i'm going to ride the bus once, i'd much rather ride it with lafond than plenty of other people.
mircea_popescu: heck, i could do without needing a spylist longer than most serial monogamists' ex-fucks list just to keep things slightly above water.
mircea_popescu: da fuck would i need bitcoin for, in a world where the win criteria is "work out a little".
mircea_popescu: but i dunno that anyone actually sees them the way sake makes phf fear anyone sees them.
mircea_popescu: there's nothing wrong with it, obviously. and the freshness of perspective is welcome, certainly. and i enjoy reading them, generally.
mircea_popescu: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-cM5FLTGhU << fundamental "i'ma dress up like gregory an' preach" fantasy enaction.
mircea_popescu: (yes, lenin is a bit player in a story that marx didn't start, and the french didn't start. the stone fell i nthe lake long long ago.)
mircea_popescu: i mean for the holy name of Trompi, they like even know shit and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: pretty impressive blog tho i must say.
mircea_popescu: punkman that's nothing. i suspect the pedigree of "women with a sexual market value" will in the future require full coverage much like the sale of cattle and other biomaterial includes full documentation by default today.
mircea_popescu: there's 2k years' worth of actual social science being amused at lafond's "hi world i'm an ex boxer lemme tell you how the world looks through my glass" schtick.
assbot: Logged on 29-09-2015 01:13:18; phf: i know it's not just la fond, but he's particularly adept at this subject
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-09-2015#1287253 << i dunno that it is. honestly, "Race relations" in the sense of, here's a 10-15% ish scapegoat minority is the lulz of all time. same role the gypsies play in romania, same exact role of the small rus / white rus whatever in russian rhetoric, what the fuck are the ukrainians gonna do, bleed on everyone ? ☝︎
copypaste: i intend for it to be used for presentations and not logging keys, but i suppose it's just as good for either purpose...
copypaste: i made an evdev keylogger
trinque: what I see is numerous smoldering fires all along their south
phf: aye, perhaps i'll switch to raki
phf: i know it's not just la fond, but he's particularly adept at this subject ☟︎
phf: this sake i've been drinking put me in a foul mood, and orcs at the door rhetoric is depressing
mircea_popescu: <phf> (i'm saying lafond because that's where i assume most people here are getting their racial relationship information from) << eh no they aren't, cmon.
cazalla: BingoBoingo, well that is far better than the casette player i had in mind
phf: in any case i'd be curious to watch breakdown patterns in philly. you have a lot of agents here, that are not just realtors. there's upenn, there's ethnic neighbourhoods, there's also a lot of "blacklivesmatter" hipster feminist areas that are deep in the ghetto territory.
phf: i spent a long time biking through north east dc and was friends with a dc cop at umd and i know that north east is hellhole ready to burst. i'd bike during day time and would have old black guys on the street corner go "whacha doin here white boy". but then i moved to philly and ghetto here is not north east nor baltimore by any measure. i can walk up to 69th street or kensington and as long as i'm smart about it, nobody will pay me any at
BingoBoingo: <phf> (i'm saying lafond because that's where i assume most people here are getting their racial relationship information from) << I've been getting most of mine from KMOX
phf: (i'm saying lafond because that's where i assume most people here are getting their racial relationship information from)
pete_dushenski: i'm off for a spell. cheers !
BingoBoingo: Philip Cook, a Duke University public policy and economics professor who has examined crime trends, said most gun robberies do not lead to violence but that perpetrators sometimes injure or kill to eliminate witnesses to a crime. "And in some cases it may have been purely gratuitous violence — what I called recreational violence," Cook said.
pete_dushenski: and by 'the future' i don't mean 'the future everywhere' but rather a great many north american cities, particularly those focused on a single industry.
pete_dushenski: i mean, who wouldn't want to see a real live honest-to-goodness usian dystopian ghost town to see if the future is really that shitty or whether it's in fact quite liveable
pete_dushenski: i still wouldn't want to live in nyc, but not least of all because it'd make me feel pretty poor. like alf poor.
mircea_popescu: i... i happen to like this summary.
mircea_popescu: http://qntra.net/2014/11/buterins-waterfall-a-likbez/ << i had forgotten alf put all the work into this!
