ben_vulpes: canvassing the low bandwidth radio space ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( if it's shortwave -- i'll say right nao, it won't work, and the chinese 'up-converter' box -- defo wontwork )
asciilifeform: pretty sure we had thread.
ben_vulpes: what does this mean
asciilifeform: also it is not so hot , as a tuner, 'shits where it eats' quite severely
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: wired into usb tho
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: complete unit typically costs tenbux or so
ben_vulpes: http://ebrombaugh.studionebula.com/radio/r820t2_breakout/index.html << 17.20 for three breakout boards for the cheapo sdr chip in many tv tuners
a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 22:11 mod6: For other non-trb projects, perhaps the author can designa how that should work.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1751176 << nah, too complex and therefore frail system like that. simply : host ALL sigs for ALL things yourself ; let the urls be known publicly and don't change them. << This works. Having the redundancy is a good thing too. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 22:28 mod6: mircea_popescu: yeah, we've been pretty thrifty thus far.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1751193 << iirc nothing yet spent, even << nearly; we did recently approve the first expendature: renewal of therealbitcoin.org ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i dunno if im getting old or the thing is changing or what, but anyway.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 23:34 asciilifeform for 1st time in long time, sits down to mega-l0g, eats
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1751240 << you know, it's only 1250 lines by btcbase count ; i recall in the past we had 2, maybe even a coupla 3k line days. yet NEVER before was it the case convo got so dense i had to switch to log reading WHILE AT THE TERMINAL. ☝︎
asciilifeform: will emphasize, nobody should sign unless fully ready to say ' i know for a fact that this piece works, would jump with the parachute '

asciilifeform: ^ somehow came to refer to anal reprimand with e.g. shovel handle, typically to-death
asciilifeform: !#s turkish wedding
mircea_popescu: and if they were hungarian, it'd just mean she got married.
asciilifeform: if it were japanese , turtles would be plugging her holes and depicted in full squirming glory. but their cocks would be unicorn-shaped.
mircea_popescu: joke works just as well in either approach. but the буржуй bullshit consists of building an extra-tower of cvasi-funny bolted on the wall of the joke.
mircea_popescu: the fact that chick's depicted "under a cover" rather than in the frank position ( http://img.tfd.com/medical/Davis/Tabers/v26.jpg ) is a ~stylistical~ choice.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 18:23 mircea_popescu: honeslty i much preferred the density. made all sorts of буржуй bullshit untenable and plain-evidently not desirable.
mircea_popescu: this is a fine example as to what i mean by http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1750802 btw. "oh, i found a couple more". really bitch, you did ? ha-ha funny. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: "not hosting your sigs" is therefore a low level "can't be bothered to rate but still dun like you" sorta hostility

mircea_popescu: so just put them on your site somewhere.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 22:00 diana_coman: mod6, more FFA tests sounds good to me; slightly related: is there any protocol/preferred approach for publishing signatures to someone else's patches?
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1751173 << it's a good idea to host a whole set of "approved" (by your own lights) sigs for all vpatches. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: no, go ahead and translate, im not that apt.
mircea_popescu: lol turtlefucking
asciilifeform: oh mircea_popescu does http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1751162 need translation or is it clear ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 20:44 diana_coman: although to be honest I wouldn't have defined it as notable, hmm
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1751153 << more of an arges area item, that. morphs into falnic further west. ☝︎
asciilifeform: re foundations -- incidentally whatever happened to the derpoundation
asciilifeform: american 'farming' -- does this
asciilifeform: good % of that, prolly will resemble sahara soon
mircea_popescu: ok, fine. about 40% of the 148mn or so land sqkm are actually farmed.that's still 60mn.
asciilifeform: ( see mircea_popescu's essay re the andes , for instance )
a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 22:50 mircea_popescu: fun fact : total land area on this planet being 510 mn sqkm ; and bitcoin cap being 21 mn, it therefore follows that the absolute maximal average price for land is a dime per square km.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1751221 << good % is ~uninhabitable tho, and worth ~0 ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 22:28 mod6: mircea_popescu: yeah, we've been pretty thrifty thus far.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 23:18 mircea_popescu: pretty much all of the mental pathology we call ustardianism directly derives from this fundamentally economic problem.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1751237 << aha, and to think about the various symptoms individually, is rather like thinking of each individual fractured bone in d00d dropped from a skyscraper, as separate injury ☝︎
asciilifeform: what do you call these in eng
mircea_popescu: (stug is like a tank without turret, larger cannon)
asciilifeform: more or less errything from graf zeppelin to tiger -- maybach
mircea_popescu: and note that the ~most used armored item (stug) ALSO fucking maybach gasoline engine
asciilifeform: just scarcely moar hp than asciilifeform's current auto...
mircea_popescu: had less power than a modern muscle car, at that.
asciilifeform: i still dun fully grasp why they lacked the diesel.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, i always wondered. the insanity of the eg panzer 4 GASOLINE engine still harrows my mind.
mircea_popescu: corndiesel marginal, and corn is a lot more uniform than man
asciilifeform: ( i suspect the answer is -- comically -- in the scarcity of the diesel cycle in its birth land !! almost until end of war, ~0 diesel there )
mircea_popescu: i am skeptical this is actually worth bothering.
asciilifeform: gotta wonder why germans did not conceive of biodiesel. the tech was aaalmost there...
mircea_popescu: it IS better soap than synthetic, but it also doesn't keep as well. so...
mircea_popescu: nobody really needs that much soap
asciilifeform: witness that germans ~did~ send good % straight for soap.
asciilifeform: nobody makes bank, it's a 'this is slightly cheaper than immediate boiling for soap' option.
mircea_popescu: slave labour works in the sense of education ; not very productive as extraction.
asciilifeform: everybody tries. even with stalin's human material as i understand the ev was only marginally +.
mircea_popescu: well... 3x as many whippers as zeks. no idea where you'd get the whippers, but perhaps try china before naganting ?
asciilifeform: nao if i were today's berzin and ordered to organize canal building using homo redditus -- would prolly eat nagant.
mircea_popescu: fun fact : if 1960s vietcong invaded, the us could not muster a defense.
mircea_popescu: but already more cracked than old whore anal fissure.
mircea_popescu: i dunno how long that pretense can be maintained
asciilifeform: the 'we use everything, even the squeal' folx -- theoretically giveashit.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 23:17 mircea_popescu: it's true that women also have the avenue of not-being-animals anymore, but this happens to have opened just as most "jobs" got destroyed. so yes that works for a 5% of them, and another 10% or so could pretend and convincingly hope. the majority however, very much confront the pork bellies are $2 problem.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1751235 << this applies across the board. ( as amply observed by mircea_popescu and others ). and the males dun even have the 'retreat into biology' option. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: though that's an overpopulation problem ; india is stuck in a different sphere.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 23:16 mircea_popescu: the fundamental problem of eg, india, where everyone aborts girls because they don't want to pay for their raising to the level where they can be married ~because the trade value of the she-cow is NOT ENOUGH~ is really the fundamental problem of humanity : yes the cost of living went up, but the price of a head of cattle, or a goat, OR A WOMAN as such didn't go up. it went down. it's much cheaper to buy an ox now, either in s
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1751233 << softer version of the industrial world's 'abort everything that moves' issue ☝︎
mircea_popescu: phf incidentally, what's the definition of tov popov ?
asciilifeform: !#seen TheNewDeal
jhvh1: asciilifeform: I have not seen TheNewDeal.

a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 22:30 BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> o yeah, through careful management the foundation ended up with like a quarter million dollars in its coffers or some shit ? << Careful management that further attracted an especially large donation from whatshisname
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1751194 << there was a d00d, iirc he was going mad, decided to get rid of his coinz.. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: is this survivalism or is this comfortingalism /
a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 22:22 mircea_popescu: serious about it, they'd have such things as hunter-meat-distribution services oiled and ready.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1751185 << but! then, they'd have to confront the fact that the land can support maybe 1 in 20 of'em . ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 22:00 diana_coman: mod6, more FFA tests sounds good to me; slightly related: is there any protocol/preferred approach for publishing signatures to someone else's patches?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1751173 << same protocol as everybody uses for their original sigs -- just put'em somewhere people can see'em , they'll end up in phf's thing ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 21:54 mod6: (I've been working off an FFA that's like... at least 3-4 months old.)
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1751171 << aside from FZ's not being structs any longer, there shouldn't be much that you can't fix with search+replace ☝︎
