BingoBoingo: <ascii_field> agents of dropped-as-
a-baby << dropped as baby tends to lead to honest idiocy, not reimagineer how the world works wishdiocy
punkman: don't the suckless folks have
a replacement for busybox tools?
ascii_field: 'increasing the blocksize to 2 or 8MB now would avoid
a split fork' << wai wut??!
BingoBoingo: "I'm watching it
a bit time-delayed (streaming sucked,) but I think the guy that spoke after Peter Todd made
a good point that some sort of moderate action is advisable simply to avoid the XT schism. I don't know how threatening XT actually is, but if just increasing the blocksize to 2 or 8MB now would avoid
a split fork then that in itself might be
a good enough reason to do so." -Social Engineer
ascii_field: busybox is
a long-time target for the tardray cannon on account of being used in virtually every single router or otherwise konsooomer-crud networking product on the planet
assbot: Logged on 06-12-2015 18:19:11; mircea_popescu: yeah, keep
a known-good copy around
mod6: further, if bitcoin does indeed get it's own os, we may not need to worry about busybox... but until then (which could be
a while), yeah.
mod6: So the current plan, subject to change, is that I'll get these packages, create
a web-repository of them with clearsigned hash files and signature files that can and should be mirrored.
mod6: so just keep/maintain
a repository of these packages
mircea_popescu: consider the situation with the previous turdified victims. what'd happen to bitcoin if nobody had
a 0.5 copy ?
mod6: I think I'm just being dense here, but let's talk about that for
a second. Snapshots as in, we make our own busybox package from
a previously unrolled/extracted package that we've verified?
mitch_callahan: BingoBoingo - nothing wrong with same page being served, that's ideal. in this case, I knew the lack of
a mobile layout would cause their rankings to go down, which it did.
mod6: I think this is
a good start for
a list of whats required for buildroot -- these packages are normally pulled down into 'buildroot-2015.05/dl/'
mitch_callahan:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-12-2015#1337366 << yes, but should there be
a clone of Trilema, all other things equal, the mobile one will rank better. in this case, the person was selling
a product, of which they were the first result. it didn't take long after "mobilegeddon" for them to move to page 2. i'm guessing they're on page 3 now. meanwhile, some guy who added some viewport tags takes the cake.

assbot: Logged on 03-09-2015 00:58:40; mircea_popescu: mod6 amusingly enough, the itnernal logic of all this is that sitting lkike
a man IS
A BEHAVIOUR, see. up to you. whereas being fat like
a woman is NOT to the same degree
a behaviour.
assbot: Logged on 03-12-2015 03:22:43; mircea_popescu: \but smoking is not, just like sitting like
a man is not ok. because one's "intentional" and the other "intentional-once-removed" and so one correlates with the bad gender.
mircea_popescu: this is the ideal morality for shithead generation :
a) no ONE is to blame, and b) you ask "
a representative of God himself" for "the whole world".
assbot: Logged on 06-12-2015 05:35:54; mitch_callahan: but, you'd be surprised man. imagine companies in which the majority of their leads come from online, and they're not interested in making
a mobile experience. consequently, their search engine ranking drops and their leads get cut in half.

mircea_popescu: way is 44th St. is like asking
a Florida orange farmer which way is sky. But these white devils were willing to put their lives at risk-- not because they didn't want to appear racist, I saw the same hypnotized compliance when the perp was
a white guy-- but because they are amateur lawyers: "he didn't do anything bad to me first." So we follow the script: guy asks for directions= "ten blocks up make
a left." Guy pu
mircea_popescu: <Since we're already knee deep in race: back when I lived in various bars in NYC, I frequently saw what I assume to be intelligent people allow what I assume to be dangerous black males come up to them at 2 am and ask them if they knew "the way to get to 44th St." Just for my Danish and German readers who generously donate, here's

adlai likes the concept, but idiocy rears its head when such grants invariably come from confiscation, sometimes even suggesting inflation as "
a source of tax-free revenue for the government, which could help fund BIG"

phf: edc is nice, it's where large burner groups bring their last year's installations, so they can fund shit for next year. if you don't feel like getting alcaline dust in all the things, it's
a good option, but seriously, if you want
a proper rave, go to outside of america
pete_dushenski: but could one imagine ben v tearing it up alongside some hood yoof in
a music video aimed at cool teens ? fo sho !
mitch_callahan: on
a side note, ben_vulpes I landed on this teeny bopper rap group, and they reminded me of you (young gangsta white kid)
pete_dushenski: the fuck... i wrote those guys up for
a qntra, mitch_callahan
pete_dushenski: over
a lifetime, they have plenty, across the generations idem
ben_vulpes: but each driver has
a very limited number of hours.
ben_vulpes: mitch_callahan: doctorow did
a story where $badpeople took control of
a robot car to kill the protagonists
pete_dushenski: mitch_callahan: nonsense. you can't compare
a data set with quadrillions of driven miles to data sets with
a million or two driven miles
ben_vulpes: perhaps if the world of 3 cars per american were to continue, there'd be an economic point to getting normies off the road. entire us interstate system is
a ridiculous boondoggle that's going away, along with the mass-market car, and drivers who can't handle an ambush.
pete_dushenski: ok, show me the daily piles of bodies at the morgue from all the sleepyheads who didn't pull over for
a coffee
pete_dushenski: tired and drunk drivers are
a thing, obviously, but isn't it incredible how few mistakes they make, even so ?
mitch_callahan: like
a human who's
a little tired and had too many drinks?
pete_dushenski: dude, the technology needed to make
a self-driving car is not only incredibly complex, but super fragile
ben_vulpes: just one? you don't want to propose
a cascading failure?
ben_vulpes: faster than real time trajectory analysis sure aint
a thing
pete_dushenski: lol whatever insurance company thinks they're getting
a deal by having some brogrammers handle situations "no one could've predicted" is going bust worse than aig circa 2007
pete_dushenski: lol it's
a pipe-dream, the self-driving car, like colonising mars
ben_vulpes: mitch_callahan: you're not excited to own
a fraction of
a self-driving fleet?
mitch_callahan: shit i was using lyft when i was there, they had
a $5 promo anywhere in the lower half of manhattan.. cant beat that.
mitch_callahan: when I was in NYC last, I was told one guy took
a massive bank loan and purchased
a lot of those.. and leased them out.
ben_vulpes: cabbies sold 'em all for
a shot at college
mitch_callahan: but toronto has
a handful of things, i get along with most people and i can find anything I need
mitch_callahan: i mean you mention it yourself.. culture barely has
a breath
pete_dushenski: hell, saskatoon's
a pretty town, decent little economy
mitch_callahan: but all it was was
a big button which called their operator, and it was business as usual
mitch_callahan: funny enough tho, I had
a guy "pick me up" and drive off, with me left on the side walk,
a la ascii.
mitch_callahan: about the medallions, i mean, for me, I dont care if you're
a medallion driver, keep them on the road, just give me
a better way to interface with them.
mitch_callahan: or the basics of getting
a website so I can find you for "XYZ near me"
mitch_callahan: but, you'd be surprised man. imagine companies in which the majority of their leads come from online, and they're not interested in making
a mobile experience. consequently, their search engine ranking drops and their leads get cut in half.
☟︎ pete_dushenski: let's do one at
a time, first: taxi medallions are essentially very expensive and carefully allocated driver's permits for cabbies. this permit can run $50k+++ in larger cities and gives the owner the right to operate
a cab in that city. they're seen as an investment by the cabbies because they often appreciate in value, even to the point that they're based down from father-to-son in the way
a feudal lord would'
mitch_callahan: yea, i can blame it on generation, but i meet people in businesses who could make obvious improvements utilizing
a basic website, but they dont. i could blame generational gaps, but it's just lack of knowledge or willingness to learn.
pete_dushenski: the two hours
a week you can wedge into understanding bitcoin means that it'll be
a decade before you sort out which was is up in the whole shebang

a mid-level management position and

a church group, that's it. you're

mitch_callahan: makes sense. i see "Tech savvy" older guys, even in the sense that these guys can program, eventually they reach
a treshold, and dont move much from there.
pete_dushenski: orlov mostly flows to b-
a via the alfian-ruskie tunnel.

a presidential candidate on basically
a Skype interview

☟︎ pete_dushenski: and women and
a residual. The residual is often attributed to discrimination [Altonji and Blank, 1999].
A less explored possibility is that women are being paid less than men because they are less productive for unobservable reasons. In this paper, I will describe how much (or little) of the difference in earnings for men and women can be explained by differences in their productivity. Studying private-sector
