mircea_popescu: "Europe has invited within its borders
a very large number of people who have every intention of carrying out further atrocities, and decadent whining only serves to strengthen their purpose. Because their purpose is transcendent, it is to do the will of God and they are entirely willing to die in this purpose."
shinohai: twas
a busy day, haven't checked it before nau
mircea_popescu: ascii_field looks like
a buggy google analytics script ?
ascii_field: shinohai: both of mine are going, if you need
a node
ascii_field: on the off chance anyone gives half
a fuck
mircea_popescu: so i somehow suspect perhaps this is not
a simple matter of js-and-the-browser
ascii_field: '11/13/2015 Multiple buffer overflows in the (1) png_set_PLTE and (2) png_get_PLTE functions in libpng before 1.0.64, 1.1.x and 1.2.x before 1.2.54, 1.3.x and 1.4.x before 1.4.17, 1.5.x before 1.5.24, and 1.6.x before 1.6.19 allow remote attackers to cause

a PNG image.'
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski there was
a minority of french in germany in 1930, you never heard anything about those./
mircea_popescu: that frustration, being on
a social rather than individuyal scale, and coherent, will find the usual debouchees.
trinque: I've looked at
a few places in downtown Houston as well, but I hear the crime situation down there has gotten
a bit worse since I lived there last.
pete_dushenski: trinque: v. good to hear. didja end up in one of those apartments on the water you posted
a while back ?
trinque: can't say that I've seen
a girl with stretched out earlobes since I've been back, either
trinque: I'm putting my wager on TheEarthVolta being some 20s Texan guy with
a big beard and short attention span.
ascii_field: would let you wander off to wherever spies go when
a war is over. You know why?' he said. 'No,' I said. 'Because you could never have served the enemy as well as you served us,' he said. 'I realized that almost all the ideas that I hold now, that make me unashamed of anything I may have felt or done as
a Nazi, came not from Hitler, not from Goebbels, not from Himmler — but from you.' He took my hand. 'You alone kept m
☟︎☟︎☟︎ 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
☟︎☟︎ BingoBoingo: TheEarthVolta: What assurances do we have that you are not
a cop?
assbot: Logged on 15-11-2015 23:53:26; mircea_popescu: ving away from
a "frontier" worldwiew and toward
a "cargo cult"/scavenger world view. consequently the notion that new things can be made is being gradually abandoned.
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.
BingoBoingo: Fuck,
a havelol asset crashed enough to make the main channel ticker again!
kakobrekla: afaik the pretense was
a ddos protection. but it works only for lazy ddoser.
mircea_popescu: yes. but if you see
a name in the logs from 2013 it is not trivial to resolve.
kakobrekla: if you have
a cloak and are connected to irc server its trivial to resolve.
assbot: Logged on 13-11-2014 19:06:33; asciilifeform: bip64, aside from complicating the protocol and giving relevance to the gavin shitgang, is also
a jam-tomorrow chumpatronic engineering structural element
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
mircea_popescu: did the "professional" derp with
a wanna-be qntra that kept getting hit by the ridicule truck (no fault of his own! he's professional! etc) finally close the whatever-it-was-called and open
a new one ?
adlai: "You do not need to wait for
a block to be mined. Instead, as soon as your 21 Chip connects to the 21 Pool we begin streaming you
a pro-rata share of your mined bitcoin."
adlai: it provides you with
a constant stream so your wallet never runs empty
adlai: you don't need cardano when you have
a raspi + 50GH/s
ben_vulpes:
a search engine of our own would be nice.
mircea_popescu: i wonder how long until they realise trilema/b-
a.com/qntra etc simply dominate google for this reason.
mircea_popescu: without
a clear separation between people and non-people there's no practical way to exterminate the non-people ; any policy goal other than the extermination of non-people is fundamentally evil.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field here's
a thought : trilema looks good at all proportions while client resizes browser window. in ie5, and in anything else.
ben_vulpes: that thing where there are no "web pages" on the thing, just
a dynamically generated xml tree that the browser renders and rerenders in response to user input.
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
BingoBoingo: “
A teddy bear that is one foot tall correlates exactly with
a Dilaudid demand of 1 mg IV every 4 hours as needed irrespective of whether the bear is naked or wearing
a matching outfit,”
mircea_popescu: and then go hang out in the field (which is really just like
a corn field, nobody goes there) and watch them pop.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: funny how you can't find people willing to pay
a buck to do something, but you can find people willing to blow through thousands to try and undo something.
mircea_popescu: while i have nfi why he gets that (it's usually
a busted router), the site itself is down.
mircea_popescu: * ben_vulpes is still planning to scrape metals off the seafloor <<< alf thinks tmsr silicon is
a huge commitment, wait until he finds out about the materially-independent ocean factories.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform any pubkeys purporting to be
a satoshi key are disinfo.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: THey are still works in progress. There's myostatin antibodies being tested in rats that... have some serious side effects. Turns out at
a certain point being "muscle obese" is not that different from being "fat obese" when it comes to cardiac outcomes
assbot: Logged on 16-11-2015 04:01:37; BingoBoingo: dbol is dianabol, the stuff Arnold ate like candy. drol is Superdrol which never made it as
a drug because liver death, but was sold as
a dietary supplement for all of 2005
BingoBoingo: From the same zoo: "The title says it all. My ladyfriend wants baby but skipped
a cycle on mast and eq. Does this sound right? Should she stick to test c?" << That baby is going to be born with
a bigger dick than its father
BingoBoingo: Pretty sure
a strap on would be cheaper and penetrate more thoroughly
mircea_popescu: that thing reads to me like
a completely crazy repressed faggot pushing the poor woman into insanity.
mircea_popescu: derp spent ten pages discussing the minutia of irrelevant theatre, and then... "laptop booted from
a dvd".
assbot: Logged on 12-11-2015 07:33:36; mircea_popescu: "The Ceremony Administrator boots the laptop from
a DVD" << example of "security".
mircea_popescu: this is
a fundamental problem of the monkey brain. to quote :
BingoBoingo: There's this odd cognitive dissonance in internet drug users where they will make an earnest effort to derp about the medical mineutia that distinguishes very similar compounds, yet they will rarely get
a $20 rapid test to make sure the compound they are about to consume is actually what they anticipate consuming
BingoBoingo reads /r/SST as
a proxy for understanding the derpage that happens in darknet market discussions
BingoBoingo: dbol is dianabol, the stuff Arnold ate like candy. drol is Superdrol which never made it as
a drug because liver death, but was sold as

PeterL: my wife and her sister do piecework baby items (bibs, ties, bows) that get sold at
a "baby boutique" in Lansing where hipster moms go to spend waaay too much on their kids
assbot: Logged on 15-11-2015 00:31:20; mircea_popescu: in this line, there was
a time in central/eastern yurp when married woman HAD to have sewing machine.
adlai: "but it only takes zero to just sit there with
a dumb look on your face"
assbot: You rated user trinque on 17-Oct-2014, with
a rating of 3, and supplied these additional notes: Nice work on the deedbot.
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
adlai: there's
a difference between "we don't support tor becgause they suck at <reasons>" and "we don't support tor because 'reasons'"
mircea_popescu: didn't give
a good reason for stopping at just about the same time they didn't give
a good reason for why they never published the results of the supposed inquiry they were going to make into that time when all their servers got compromised.
☟︎ adlai: testingthisstuff: also fyi, even the tor developers admit to the ease (~$1M) with which
a large-scale sybil attack can be mounted against the network
adlai: used to work, they even ran onion endpoints, but they got sick of... dunno. never gave
a good reason for stopping.
mircea_popescu: kinda reminds me of fetlife going on
a rampage deleting profiles of random chicks that had friended me.
ben_vulpes: "not deploying giant militaries to bomb targets and wave banners, or propping up regimes and helping them "suppress insurgencies," but working on the long-term realities of helping locals build
a government that they're invested in" << not that anyone is capable of doing this any ore
mircea_popescu: so at 20:40 mp makes an off the cuff reference to an obscure nitpick in
a two decade old game franchise. at 21:00 he finds an even more in-depth resource for that thing than he imagined existed, and at 21:52 theres
http://www.crossbrowsertool.com/s/1006147 ie eulora ads running on said property.
mircea_popescu: anyone with
a paypal acct wanna send
a hundred bucks for me ?
mircea_popescu: no present capital / intent of future investment / financial policy setting etc has any bearing or impact on this, as it's purely
a cultural matter.
mircea_popescu: ving away from
a "frontier" worldwiew and toward
a "cargo cult"/scavenger world view. consequently the notion that new things can be made is being gradually abandoned.
☟︎ 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
mircea_popescu: the wonder whether
a repeat is likely at all is on one hand legitimate , and on the other lightyear beneath what we'd consider security.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes re the entire "PR strategy of attaching oneself to
a hot story" angle : the terrain on which this happens has been set by mitt "the imbecile" romney and his orca campaign fiasco.
assbot: Links 2015-11-15 Sun: PumPum, evidence of an oil glut, garbage text generators, "information security", constraint-solving and pattern matching in Common Lisp, and

assbot: Logged on 14-11-2015 02:10:59; ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: you don't. there are no urls, there's
a javascript application that stands on the dom.
mircea_popescu: moreover, the text i fucking used as
a base is latin-1.
phf: fwiw kakobrekla's log is not fucking up the text. mp is sending latin-1, so kako's utf-8 reader substitutes ? for broken utf sequences. there's not much that can be done. could try and guess the encoding on
a per-message basis, could also just pass through the messages 8bit clean and let the browser complain. the last option allows you to play the good old "guess the page encoding by switching between them until the right one comes out"
mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, is
a perfect task for the apprentice with
a desire to figure out "the russian novel", as the typically eastern stupidity is politely called.
mircea_popescu: at least this time around we're keeping records, so next time around when marya timofeevna/julia mikhaylovna (no fucking idea why these are different characters - no, wait, OBVIOUSLY. gotta not-implement proper search!) start with the "oh the poor peasants, how they die in the mud and their children are hungry" nonsense we just strip them, tie them to
a tree, whip them bloody and leave them there.
