assbot: Logged on 13-10-2015 23:42:57; mircea_popescu: who the fuck gives
a shit about "sourcing" of diamonds outside
a very cultish narrow segment of bored middle class art majors/social scientards ?
BingoBoingo: Well, there's the standard clear to yellow-ish. Some tanks produce
a bit
a blue-green tinge because infected...
mircea_popescu: aha. i just meant, whatever, stick
a label on it call it good.
mircea_popescu: it's totally not
a case of "if you're willing to put 15% ethanol in there anyway, like fucking hruschov wanted, fuck you and shut up, we'll paint it blue and you can pretend it's fine"
pete_dushenski: maybe that's
a stretch given that i'm unsure how many laptops + spare batteries were sold 'at peak' vs. now
pete_dushenski: then vw's (and several other, mostly german, automakers') pivot to electric propulsion seems like
a way to absorb the laptop battery capacity that's in excess from kids buying smartphones and only smartphones.
mircea_popescu: so really, it's
a case of derps follow technology while pretending to lend it.
mircea_popescu: specific technological considerations i am not prepared to discuss in detail made so there was
a huge and apparently stable glut of diesel fuel on the market.
mircea_popescu: this is exactly what it sounds like : oil is
a mix of carbohydrates, you sort this by mass and cut it into slices.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Fine, Diesel Chevy Kodiak dressed like
a car is cooler than gasoline truck, even when diesel truck dressed liek
a car carries Obola
mircea_popescu: i mean, not disputing for
a second it seems like
a reasonable interpretation of their verbiage. the problem is that it's the verbiage of patently insae folk.
BingoBoingo: Also Maybe VW really was evil: "If you're concerned about such estrogens, you may want to maintain
a safe distance from trucks on the highway. That's because of research findings that diesel-fuel exhaust contains chemicals called alkylphenols, which interact with cellular estrogen receptors to exert potent estrogenic activity.3 Diesel exhaust particles have previously been linked to lung cancer, allergic rhinitis and asthma."
mircea_popescu: and who the fuck told these that
a "blockchain technologee" works when
a centrally controlled group like that is the only thing interested ?
mircea_popescu: who the fuck gives
a shit about "sourcing" of diamonds outside
a very cultish narrow segment of bored middle class art majors/social scientards ?
☟︎ pete_dushenski: "As far as Overstock, which has said it plans to offer blockchain-recorded securities to
a wider audience, Byrne says the company’s had productive talks with the agency so far. "I think," he says, "that they’re gonna let the crypto-revolution occur." " << oh pleeeease let it occur. with sugar on top.
pete_dushenski: "[Volkswagen] investments are to be reduced by some one billion euros per year, the efficiency program is to be accelerated." << never waste
a good crisis. adios unionistas.
mircea_popescu: it's not like
a large rock is more complex than
a smaller rock. they're rocks. exactly the same thing.
punkman: and probably
a bunch of them trying to sell ads
pete_dushenski: "Twitter has said it is cutting 336 jobs, roughly 8% of its global workforce, as part of
a restructuring of the business. The job cuts will cost between $10m (£6.5m) and $20m in severance pay, while the restructuring will cost between $5m and $15m, the company said." << sex sells. except when it's
a platform for sex.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field it had
a solo mode remember that ? like, not the proper campaign, just
a sort of duel chain.
ascii_field: today there is just
a hut with walls made of straw & monkey shit.
mircea_popescu: fucking ustards. everything they touch turns to shit both ways. it's like...
a bunch of monkeys that invaded
a temple, and now not only is everything covered in shit but you gotta listen to arguments in between the set of monkeys that believes in throwing the shit at the walls and the set of monkeys that believes in gently unctioning it on.
mircea_popescu: i never knew i could equally hate both sides of
a "debate" to the degree.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: under
a certain level, the money'[s actually smarter than you.
ascii_field: (has very little, if anything, to do with money. can be it while having
a billion)
mircea_popescu: is the last line in that rant "i'm so sick of you losers i'm going to go find
a master to sleep at the feet of" ?
ascii_field: we have
a more specific term, некультурный
ascii_field: 'nah that's
a geysering shitpipe, not chocolate'
mircea_popescu: but yes the alternative is giving up the delusion that derp belongs to
a civilisation he once saw through
a window.
ascii_field: because the alternative is sitting on
a sharp broomstick ?
mircea_popescu: who told random usg tard that he is qualified to "cure cancer" or even get out of bed at all when he can't even run
a clean system ?
ascii_field: not in
a generally applicable to everything way.
ascii_field: because i run proggy on machines connected by networks, what
a concept
BingoBoingo: Its too bad, in some way we, the normal people who do good things for ourselves and our customers and our employers, really have better job security with breaking fuckheads like you around. But I want to have our computers spend time you know curing cancer or designing
a fusion reactor and doing useful shit rather than cleaning up after your dog shit"
ascii_field: you're sawing in the middle of the day, in
a busy town
ben_vulpes: i never understood why he used the extremely obvious and needing-of-power grinder instead of
a torch
mircea_popescu: any ustard that lives in the same place for more than five years is
a failure anyway
ben_vulpes: the "get the state involved to fix the states own mistakes" thing needs
a doing. again.
ben_vulpes: those policies were pushed through. The biggest obstacle to safe biking on Clinton is the excess of parked cars. Will the new parking policies still under discussion help to address this? It seems like Clinton Street should be the number one priority for parking permits and removal of nonresident cars (including those coming from all the new multifamily development). This would be
a better restriction than imposing more impediments on
ben_vulpes: thereby igniting
a whole poorly advised career
ben_vulpes: laugh if you will but i attempted this as
a wee one
mircea_popescu: by which i mean : he has
a handheld powertool in one hand, and
a four inch metal plate in the other hand, and he's cutting
a shape out of it
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: you missed
a quick demonstration of
a factoid everyone already knew
ascii_field: it won't surprise me if this brings down sks as
a thing.
mike_c: plus, some kinda DOS on any service that imports keys from
a keyserver
ascii_field: now mircea_popescu, find
a fast machine with hardware rng and run n = 21474837. then, shoot it into pgp.mit.edu ...
mike_c: yeah, that is pretty annoying though. it's now
a 200k public key..
mircea_popescu: iirc it was agreed that once we have
a proper server these will crash and burn because well.
ascii_field: (goes without saying, don't run on
a box where pgp is used for anything else. it will strain your rng to all hell)
mircea_popescu: the biological sign of success as
a parent is that your kids couldn't give less of
a shit about you. that's how maturity works. look at any fucking mammal out there.
mircea_popescu: I've mentally practiced this moment, and dozens others like it. For some I even have
a script. I know how I want her to think, to make decisions for herself free of outside influences. The trick is how to teach her that, how to make it part of the way she thinks, reflexive."
mircea_popescu: Maybe you think this is
a simple yes or no question, but it's not, everything becomes strategy. How I answer this will affect the rest of her life, how she'll answer her own questions and set goals and limits for herself. This is
a scrimmage to teach her position. Am I smart enough as
a parent? Am I ready?
pete_dushenski: off for
a spell. will talk to o'brien this week. fuckin pgp...
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell JuliaTourianski_ feel like stripping in
a meadow ? it's for science.
mircea_popescu: ima set up
a key on my game dedicated box in
a few hours if no better solution.
mircea_popescu: so that's p[rolly why he signed your key. it's reasonable, he has to have
a copy of it on his system\
ascii_field would have said 'no one will load
a 4GB turd without noticing' but said this about 4MB trojans in 'visual basic', and was wrong
pete_dushenski wonders if there's
a way to 'unsign' keys. assumes not.
mircea_popescu: i BET you someone somewhere has
a dusted hdd full of various payloads to be thus employed.
mircea_popescu: anyway, pete_dushenski : someone (o'brien) signed your key and uploaded it to one of the servers. the result is
a different pubkey there.
☟︎ ascii_field saw, but 'not from
a good life', has looked at
a great many of these.
mircea_popescu: i don't claim to be
a fucking code eagle. i claim to live in
a world where i don't have to be.
mircea_popescu: yeah well it's printed right there, sure, in
a sea of other shit printed right there. i did not see it.
mircea_popescu: i don't see how
a sub's mod woulkd change because of the packet order.
punkman: yeah so you get wot sigs when you grab
a key from the keyserver
punkman: yeah that's
a sig from "sig sig3 8CD06AFD 2015-02-22 2019-02-22 __________ Adam O'Brien <adam.jobrien@me.com>"
punkman: is it
a cert signature from soneone else?
punkman: oh wait, it adds
a second signature packet for main key
mircea_popescu: and notice that publishing
a self-signed pubkey doth not help anything.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu:
a 1990 issue of su 'наука и жизнь' had
a letter to the editor concerning this meme, freshly introduced to su
mircea_popescu: honestly, i am
a bit puzzled by all these dancing pigs and excited chicks used to market animal flesh.
ascii_field: there are ru emigres in usa who habitually ate tinned food sold for cat, not out of poverty, but because it seemed entirely logical that quality canned fish ought to have
a picture of
a cat on the tin, and tastes just like the other cans
ascii_field: one time, pet went on
a visit to
a household in the middle states where they habitually ate petrocheese
mircea_popescu: ascii_field 10-20 dollars an ounce ? sounds maybe
a little excessive.
binaryatrocity: the point is that anyone can go make
a Reddit account with my nym
binaryatrocity: You could again sign
a message with your key stating that Twitter or some other entity is posting to your Twitter account? lol
mircea_popescu: moreover unless i want to fuck you i couldn't give less of
a shit about your "real world" identity
binaryatrocity: stop thinking about Keybase at all, if you know me for my code on Github, and you see I've signed some message with my key, and see
a message similarly signed on
a Twitter account
