asciilifeform: i suppose word 'same' now means 'we say it is the same, and you, cattle, will eat it up because fuck you'
asciilifeform: but i fucking hate chiclet keyboards.
phf: i'm actually confused by that site
asciilifeform: l0k i'm a chump.
mats: guess I'll pencil it in at the bottom of my programming projects
mats: I dun see any good android imitations of this concept
asciilifeform: mats: don't expect that it would cost any less than those vintage 16c if i were to make it.
mats: at 200 apiece i think I'll pass for nao
funkenstein_: i mean, if m-pesa already does everything we need, what's the point of using bitcoin?
wilbns: funkenstein_: hey, sorry, i don't understand your question.
asciilifeform: i got mine for around 200.
asciilifeform: after i'm dead it will be sold per pound, prolly for much less than old car.
mircea_popescu: can i buy it for the price of an old car ? :D
asciilifeform: and i laugh out loud re: pete_dushenski thinking that my stash of junk is 'capital goods'. all of it put together wouldn't buy an old car.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-09-2015#1262299 << all i see is old logz ☝︎
mircea_popescu: <phf> i don't know understand why everything needs to be made so idiotic. << heh.
asciilifeform: but i'd rather put it in a pyre, and light it
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-09-2015#1262303 << if i wanted to send money to copyrasts i know where to do it ☝︎
phf: i don't know understand why everything needs to be made so idiotic. i mean, what is this, making your 50 years of scientific research hip? you know, for the kids.
funkenstein_: Re: Method in Randomness <-- well I'd never heard of "deepdyve", where do they find gnomes to work on this kind of bullshit? They gave me 5 minutes to "view" the article (in crippled form) in exchange for a fake email.
phf: trinque: i agree with you though, i'm judging by central pa, northern maryland, which is not necessarily the cities, but still within the sprawl.
ag3nt_zer0: and I just thought that the fact that he had shed his fanbase skin so many times resulted in a nice blend of people - christians, hippies, old school folkies, some rockers haha whatever
ag3nt_zer0: one time I saw him during his monio league baseball park tour with willie nelson and john mellancamp
ag3nt_zer0: I have been making it a point to go see dylan every time he comes by the gay area for the last 6-7 years... probably seen him 5-6 times in that stretch
ag3nt_zer0: trinque: oh man... slow train... I bow
trinque: and it's causing me to reflect on what I left behind in TX
trinque: relatedly I am ending my current tour in the pac NW for a time, headed back to TX
assbot: Logged on 03-09-2015 19:47:36; trinque: these gun-toting christians hate socialism, so I like them just fine
phf: came up when i started trash talking american christians
trinque: pete_dushenski: I'm yielding to your point here, I think.
trinque: ag3nt_zer0: kinda what I meant about "command structure" in teh logs
pete_dushenski: prolly an html5 thing then. i dun use flash.
assbot: I’m now an Estonian e-resident, but I still don’t know what to do with it | Ars Technica ... ( http://bit.ly/1XndlA5 )
asciilifeform: http://arstechnica.com/business/2015/08/im-now-an-estonian-e-resident-but-i-still-dont-know-what-to-do-with-it << a related lul from same fishwrap. mandatory non-pgp signatures in whole muppet country, aha.
mircea_popescu: sophistry is necessarily positive. i'm merely denying.
asciilifeform: is mircea_popescu just testing how much sophistry i can take before i have to go and change gas mask canister ?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: ah I see. more of a cave. always thought superman was the one with teh "fortress"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i get that humint can be done entirely via 'hashishim' dissolved in planet at large, etc. but build me one single z80 this way.
mircea_popescu: btw, am i the only one that finds it funny that some dude whose name was MANning decided to be a woman ?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: i assume you're referring to "The Dark Knight Returns".
asciilifeform: and i will say that an entity without si fabbing capability is no meta-nsa regardless of what else.
asciilifeform: this is why i play in my head with the idea of an all-chick meta-nsa.
mircea_popescu: i wonder wtf it is, you'd expect they be better than men, generally speaking.
mircea_popescu: your argument was to the name, i delivered the name. it's unsalvageable.
mircea_popescu: i mean it's just as ex post facto as previously, you just hid it under a rug. srsly, "chewed at straps" ? you just call it that retrospectively.
mircea_popescu: anyway, what i question is, the imbecile adolescent population that is not hard at work breaking the society they live in.
asciilifeform: so let's see if i grok this, somebody is to indict, e.g., warren buffet, or clitler, over spam sent by some anonymous schmuck ?
mircea_popescu: so yes, we both see that this could readily be done, and we both see it's not done. i wonder in amazement, you posit a "because". i dun think your position's reasonable.
mircea_popescu: i don't care what "the result" is.
mircea_popescu: i wish we had had something like this when i was a kid.
mircea_popescu: i dunno how one could be 17yo, a us citizen, and NOT sms nude pics of themselves to every single usg official in sighh
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Not that I've found yet
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i'll bite. name anybody presently rolling in the vc megamillions while doing something of actual worth
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: I just got a lot of momentum going these past couple days
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: lol hot damn i was *just* about to start writing up that sexting one. well snagged ! i'll be faster net time.
pete_dushenski: i admit i've only met two of them, a young couple at pre-natal class, perfectly pleasant really. he even wore a tallit around his waist
thestringpuller: Paul Graham literally believes the best startups are ones that don't scale: "When I interviewed Mark Zuckerberg at Startup School, he said that while it was a lot of work creating course lists for each school, doing that made students feel the site was their natural home."
assbot: Logged on 03-09-2015 11:35:05; shinohai: My "hacks" were mostly to wiring and such. My mother, in her nasally Jewish voice, always swore I was going to "burn myself alive in my car"
assbot: Logged on 03-09-2015 02:47:29; mircea_popescu: trinque i'll give you an extra lol. recently the source of the "salt is bad mkay", ie the ustardemia, came out with an admission of the fraudulent nature of that entire swathe of "research". this however has not yet reached the latino "scientists" who mostly exist through translating things and pretending.
shinohai: Africa: https://i.imgur.com/hEaFeKp.jpg
fluffypony: so I've literally been saying for ages that Africa is far from ready to "embrace" Bitcoin, and half the continent won't want it anyway, but nooooo, nobody listens to me, they all want to shovel Bitcoin down Africa's throat
mircea_popescu: phf i think 2/3 of the benefit regulars derive from being here is this sort of thing
BingoBoingo: https://i.imgur.com/6tvB8Q3.png
phf: now that i verbalize it, it's totally a programmer rabbit hole, probably should've just fixed my monitor..
phf: i've over optimized in the direction of making kindle work for me, but it is like looking through peephole. i solve the whole branching problem by relying on their notes feature: whatever you select on kindle gets saved to a text file that gets copied into my notes during sync. correspondingly my article saving mechanism converts all links to title (url) form, so i can follow up when on desktop
mircea_popescu: anyway, i have nfi what "alert" means. but fatigue is defined.
ascii_field: i tend to run even 'redder'
mircea_popescu: phf this screen rightnao i have at 6300K and 0.375 gamma
ascii_field: 'this is spiffy, i wish i'd written it' - 'waitasec, i did write it'
phf: mircea_popescu: how do i kill a backlight?
mircea_popescu: no but i meant metaphorically
ascii_field: i'm pretty sure i have done this.
mircea_popescu: i like my shit so much!
mircea_popescu: ascii_field wut ? i said that ?
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-09-2015#1261999 << l0l i stole the text from mircea_popescu ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 03-09-2015 20:21:03; joecool: I don't speak too often in here, but I do like to keep up with things
ascii_field: very old turd i wrote
mircea_popescu: the real problem here is that ... well... no rich people left. nobody to say "fuck you, either make this and you get one trillion, or i spend a trillion torturing your families. you have one year."
ascii_field: only thing is, when viewing text i need it to be opaque.
ascii_field: i did realize, though, that there is nothing to connect it to.
mircea_popescu: none of that fake "3d in 2d" bs. actual 3d display. i need an[other] electric car like i need another hairdo.
ascii_field: over the years i conceived of several designs for such a thing. because i, too, wanted one.
mircea_popescu: so i could fucking think WITH a computer for once.
mircea_popescu: i mean it, actual 3d display.
ascii_field: i used to wear a 3dvisor for a living.
mircea_popescu: i want a 1 cubic metre display. dun care so much about dpi
ascii_field: i want to see transparently through my display like i want a second arse.
mircea_popescu: what i would like is if they stopped dicking around and made holo displays already
ascii_field: at the same time i ~would~ like a >300 dpi screen on real computer
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i use a (very large) tablet thing to read djvu scans, and (occasionally) hyperlinkified therealbitcoin src. that's it.
assbot: Logged on 03-09-2015 19:17:20; phf: i have a hand rolled version of instapaper that takes html articles and adds them to a periodic readinglist.mobi. same for b-a logs. in fact i read most of the stuff on kindle, far away from a real computer..
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-09-2015#1261703 <<this never worked for me. because i don't just read, i have a tree of activites. it's not even a tree, its a graph, with cycles. line in log leads to documentation or to article writing half the time. and tablets are unusable for any purpose other than tv ☝︎
kakobrekla: My nodes got hit with 25 GBit/sec. The university firewall handled it like a pro, but I was forced to shut off my nodes. Due to the security implications (I guess DDoS attacks are a security risk now?) I'll have to fight to get them back up again.
mike_c: oh gavin.. "... which should eventually evolve into "download, check for valid signatures, and automatically upgrade" code (yet another feature that I think it is pretty clear people want that can't make it past the Core idea review process)."
btcdrak: Here: http://i.imgur.com/cM8Y4KD.png it's so ludicrous. Give you an insight into how Mike actually thinks
thestringpuller: “Now, everyone sees this as a critical topic. I know of more than 100 firms that are trying to make the blockchain more scalable, more secure, to make the one that everybody will use. There’s a race on out there.”
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller: upon further review, he's evorhees isn't in assbot's l2, so i guess he's not in the wot after all.
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller: good digging, i suspected he might've been, but search for 'voorhees' on btcalpha drew up a blank
jurov: well.. if i hadn't met you in person, i'd have very different image too :)
ascii_field: jurov: i was never able to conceive of casares as anything other than a 'wallet-inspector' sc4mz0r
