jurov: i don't get this. changing "root" address will help how?
mircea_popescu: what i don't like is the poor crypto use.
justusranvier: mircea_popescu: Yeah, I actually don't have many compilation/dependency problems any more, but it's not progressing very much as a distribution
justusranvier: Sucks in many way, yet I can no longer use traditional binary distros, and don't have time to go back to Linux From Scratch
mircea_popescu: i dunno, i don't think it's a settled matter
Duffer1: looks like everyone they sent to is in WoT, but i don't see some of the bigger names from this chan
decimation: right? Guest: Government wasn't even a--close to Montana at the time these were formed, these were people saying, 'Gee, our cattle are mixing with one another and are breeding and maybe we don't want that. And if you put all your cattle where I put mine, there will be a tragedy of the commons.' "
mircea_popescu: i mean i clearly recall ths experience where i was falling asleep, and my through process in the remainder part of the brain was "oh my god what if i don't know how to open the door anymore"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't have any issue with anything in that piece either, but this isn't the criteria. the form specifically is what one uses to identify these things.
mircea_popescu: i don't read fast enough.
mircea_popescu: so last autumn i was living in a recently developped residential area - i guess what would be a gated community in the us, except romanians don't gate.
mircea_popescu: i don't see much in that. so some asshole kid thinks himself special, got roughed up in the slightest.
mircea_popescu: punkman: http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/10/05/nobel-chemistry-idUSL5E7L51U620111005 <<< i don't think useful original work has EVER not been ridiculed.
ThickAsThieves: At this point I don't care, as it wouldn't really affect the market price to find out
asciilifeform: 'I receive Welfare. I live off your labor: you pay taxes and I don't do shit, twice a month I head down to the clean and spacious welfare office at 1515 Broadway and pick up my check. ... What, you don't like me? You don't want to pay? It's not much—278 dollars a month. You don't want to pay. Well then why the fuck did you get me to come here, me and a whole crowd of Jews? Take it up with your propaganda—it'
decimation: I think this 'Puritanism' stems from a basic lack of skills on the part of the bureaucratic leaders. i.e. if you don't know how to write a contract for a nuclear submarine, you try to make sure that your employees are well dressed and that 'decorum' is kept.
mircea_popescu: i think when people talk of saving things, the don't mean save them in the sense cockroaches are saved.
decimation: I have a simple solution to small aircraft accidents: don't let humans fly
mircea_popescu: i don't mean from a "you run off with monyz" perspective, loath. i mean "paypal=assholes not keep that much there" perspective.
decimation: mircea_popescu: I don't think any plane would survive that test
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I don't remember if he was here or not
BingoBoingo: "This was my fault. While I don't think it's impossible to fairly cover Bitcoin while also holding some Bitcoins, the reason to make these rules blunt and general, rather than nuanced and specific, is to ensure there's no question about the motivations of the underlying coverage." ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Aquent_: I don't really get your point
asciilifeform: 'Dear Zelda, Hardly a day passes in which I don't receive an email, usually one that's widely distributed and from a more senior member of our community, using the pronoun 'myself' incorrectly. It's my own pet peeve, but I imagine our 5-Eyes partners questioning our reliability when they see our seniors making this basic mistake. Furthermore, my boss regularly misuses a relatively common word. It hangs in the ai
mircea_popescu: i don't get the slate article. first off, who are these two schmucks ? Josh Levin and Jeremy Stahl ?
asciilifeform: 'Dear Zelda, (U) I'm new to the agency and I'm also a young employee (in my late 20s). I have noticed that the older managers/supervisors think that we don't have the skills/knowledge/potential to run this agency in the near future. I heard them saying that. They tend to stereotype/discriminate without knowing our intelligence and fresh knowledge. What can we do to make them think differently? Thanks, Younger Sk
punkman: mircea_popescu: yeah I don't really follow his blog. but he's written a bunch on the topic
mircea_popescu: mike_c tbh i don't care for fit past betting, inasmuch as bitcoin is the bottleneck anyway
mircea_popescu: yeah, i don't want to buy their products myself, but i'd rather be long than short knc i think.
mircea_popescu: i don't think there ever were 4.
nubbins`: it was hard to take pictures of me hitting the edges and corners on things, as i don't yet have a selfie wand
nubbins`: chair was a bend-test, i don't keep other packages on the deck so i had to make do with what was around 8)
kuzetsa: [17:42:40] <+cazalla> kuzetsa, are you playing project 99? << oh sorry, I was ingame (everquest... and no, I don't even know what project 99 is)
pankkake: and as a Gentoo user I don't feel "trapped" so no delusion one way or the other
mircea_popescu: tyvm but i don't enjoy listening to liars that are THAT BAD at it.
mircea_popescu: pankkake you know i don't got a call on the topic. so they're complicated, yes. no argument there.
Azelphur: kakobrekla: admittedly I've always had trouble walking the trying to help / being a jerk line, in my head I'm always trying to help, but sometimes people don't see it that way.
kakobrekla: <Azelphur> mircea_popescu: well if it was a job interview, I solved every single problem, including a pile of everybody elses, turned up at 9am in the morning and left at 8pm every day for a week, I don't think I could have been more perfect if I tried :P < yeah sometime being a jerk hels you not get stuff.
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: well if it was a job interview, I solved every single problem, including a pile of everybody elses, turned up at 9am in the morning and left at 8pm every day for a week, I don't think I could have been more perfect if I tried :P
Azelphur: BingoBoingo: I don't believe I did :)
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Don't worry, I already mentioned the Federal task force looking over my plaintext shoulder in pm.
mircea_popescu: if i don't like what a script does, i edit it. if i don't like what a binary does, i ... ?
mircea_popescu: i don't particularly give a shit anyway, not like i;ve been seriously contemplating running contemporary distros anywhere anyway.
pankkake: yeah, I don't know why I bother...
mircea_popescu: i still don't see what i could contribute, were i in the guy;s shoes and some third parties having had a bet
punkman: BingoBoingo, I'm guessing it's because I don't have bigger number
BingoBoingo: decimation: I don't remember if I ever knew. You just kind of tune someone out after that.
BingoBoingo: decimation: No I want fucking control over how my system boots! And I don't want fucking dependency hell because I want my system in runlevel 4!
X-Rob: Apocalyptic: I don't know where that doge came from. I lease my rig for doge, but I normally just convert it straight to btc.
asciilifeform: punkman: don't have the older finds handy, but i'll take a look at some point
kuzetsa: well I don't understand fiction very well either, so the idea of fanfic VS fiction writing isn't something that makes a lot of sense
mircea_popescu: hanbot: "A family of four should be able to survive for a month on a six-roll pack, priced at 460 yen ($4.40) and with a five-year expiration date, said Satoshi Kurosaki" <<< i guess they don't do the entire tping the house of people they don't like in japan.
kuzetsa: though I don't understand fanfic well enough to know if woodchipper is even a real fandom
kuzetsa: I don't understand the reference about hitpoints... is there like a roleplaying game involving alternate universe cities or something? where they have hitpoints and other stats?
mircea_popescu: the infinite hitpoints thing is becoming such a problem i honestly don't see how actual physical testing of the infinity in question will be avoidable on the mid term.
mike_c: i don't even need to.
nubbins`: i generally don't entertain requests for specific numbers because it's a logistical nightmare, but since you're you...
kakobrekla: that's attacked, we tell them. I don't care if the hacker didn't get in, you call
nubbins`: i don't take enough process pics, it's nice :D
ben_vulpes: and not personally. i don't do this crazy asset dance - i just build shit and acquire btc.
ben_vulpes: i honestly don't even see the point of expatriation
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i really don't think its as political as all that.
asciilifeform: RagnarDanneskjol: i don't regard it as a proven fact that there necessarily is a 'root cause.'
asciilifeform: I don't know that they can be built << lol, anything that was built, can be built.
decimation: “I don't even have an E-mail address. I have reached an age where my main purpose is not to receive messages,” Eco said at a party in his honor at the University Club of Chicago.
The20YearIRCloud: I don't know that they can be built, the costs were exorbant for non-military types
mircea_popescu: The20YearIRCloud i don't get what this "let's all go huddle together" thing is supposed to do.
mircea_popescu: i don't readily remember the names of all the women i've been with either.
Apocalyptic: I don't
Apocalyptic: mircea, I'm asking whether it's worth a read, I don't have nor know it
asciilifeform: i don't know who al might've shared the recipe with, but u.s. navy funded almost exactly this scheme as a mega-project a few years ago.
mircea_popescu: decimation i actually don't know any personally.
mircea_popescu: DoctorBTC i don't recall what i wanted to commend you about, but it was something.
mircea_popescu: RagnarDanneskjol i don't think tao can stay unless it starts answering ,chart in pm only
midnightmagic: ben_vulpes: Do you mind if we go PM? I don't want to disturb channel.
ben_vulpes: i don't even recall the name of the suit.
pankkake: I don't, I just took the first google result
midnightmagic: ehh, don't feel like arguing anymore. Enough, enough.. I'll stop.
mircea_popescu: i don't. i care enough about the perniciously castrated "o noes, don't argue boys, cocksuckers getr more done" to point out it doesn't belong in bitcoin, or generally among grown-ups.
mircea_popescu: i don't recall all the others. this chick stuck because she was uniquely sensible.
diametric: yeah, i don't want those for these
mircea_popescu: dignork i don't consider idiocy to be any more all-encompassing than genius. one can be a chemistry genius and die of accidental exposure. one can similarly be a complete idiot in say politics and yet an accomplished farmer.
mircea_popescu: that reminds me BingoBoingo : i was gonna say i don't like curtis yarvin / mencius moldbug for the following very specific reason - he sounds exactly like a propaganda job for smart people.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i don't get how bip0064 compromises nodes << Allows very memory intensive requests which can crash nodes.
assbot: lol my thesis: I'm trying to predict the stock market and I don't even know why anyone approved this.
ben_vulpes: i don't get the furor over key distribution
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i don't get how bip0064 compromises nodes
ben_vulpes: i don't have to say nuffin :)
mircea_popescu: hearnright. i think that's the definition of a successful attack :) don't get me wrong. i'd like to see core restart itself if it crashes <<< riiight.
TheNewDeal: I'm confused here. You don't think they were smart enough to deploy malware that would give away information?
mod6: i added a WoT link to my name in that wiki page also - hope that was ok. I don't love that little globe that pops in there but w/e. Any thoughts?
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> or was that vulpes << don't know that i ever achieved the kind of skills that an actual machinist can lay claim to, but i've operated the whole standard library in production settings.
mircea_popescu: Sheets and towels are changed twice a week. Maid service is included. Need your clothes washed? We'll take care. Need some help cooking or ordering take out? We can help. Any questions you might have don't hesitate to ask! I'm at your service! << "is the maid hot ?"
BingoBoingo: Well I don't own one and I'm cribbing alf's list of inconvenient things that lead to suspicious 'suicides"
beetcoin: I'm sorry, I don't have any actual beetcoins
ben_vulpes: (don't complain if it gets wet when i put it out...)
decimation: dsherm: I agree with you, I don't see how the world 'reverses' bitcoin as an invention
decimation: danielpbarron: I don't mind doubters, I just want one with the ability to provide points that rate above the "derp" level
decimation: asciilifeform: I don't get the liber-tards argument, are they saying that women ought to be able to slut at the sluttiest parties without attracting unwanted male attention?
mircea_popescu: BlueMeanie4 no, and what's worse i don't see a way to translate your formulation of what's a problem in fiat marketplaces into ap roblem here.
