mircea_popescu: notrly. the concern is that the jwz is easily discouraged, and rather than take reasonable steps, he takes no steps, "because it's not worth it anyway"
asciilifeform: anyway, linked because earlier thread, and as illustration of what i think proper chix work like.
mircea_popescu: anyway, in summary : 885k in bank ; 14k in something called "cyro currency" as an "investment", 50k in prepaid expenses and 307k receivables. not clear whom from, but anyway.
asciilifeform: anyway he successfully distilled the most hardcore folks from his original cult into a new thing, is moar funded than ever before, as far as i can tell, and is happily fellating thiel with renewed vigour.
a111: Logged on 2014-11-21 01:38 mircea_popescu: well anyway : two trains moving on the same track leave simultaneously 29 miles apart, one doing 5mph the other 7mp. a fly caugh between them flies straight until it reaches a train then turns back and recurses, doing 9mph.
asciilifeform: and everybody pretty much uses fpga clusters for actual cryptoanalysis anyway. so elaborate 'let's zap the miners' trickery is ~pointless.
mircea_popescu: the irony of all time being that all these schmucks running around enacting this damsel in distress fantasy "oh noes i'm in a WEAK NEGOTIATING POSITION" are all working class stiffs with absolutely nothing to look for anyway, and that in the best case.
asciilifeform: and what does 'kitchen' mean in a 1-room closet flat anyway
spandrell_: anyway, i didnt come here to convince you to marry and have children
mod6: anyway, this seems easier as one could just rip the drive out, load up the full orchastra on the disk, drop it back in and you're ready to go.
asciilifeform: most folks are 'chukcha ain't a reader, he's a writer' and do it anyway.
mircea_popescu: and muhammad gave its believers much petro anyway.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the renaissance happened EXACTLY because of the blog-like organisation of the textual community of the time, and it was for the record largely an oral process ; its notation rather very similar with the btcbase.org service.
mircea_popescu: anyway - since i recall you itching to do it throughout the YEAR LONG outage, which in my best business judgement is not fucking acceptable, suppose you find a server, and once (and only once) you're satisfied it entirely meets your specs we move over ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, no, the specific scam in question is that ~lists~ are copyrightable no matter their components, and these cocksuckers are trying to make LISTS of ancient / public domain / copyright freee items and then perversely claim copyright in them because "it's in our list", which is a bullshit claim but then again the us entirely runs on vapors and bullshit claims.
shinohai: I couldn't agree more. What's a degree gonna get you? You'll be a straight-up prostitute anyway in a few years or less so go ahead and embrace it.
Framedragger: e.g. 2x4.ru have a reputation of being more hardcore; i know this sounds naive and it probably is, but i've heard this from trustable sysadmins running, er, shadier stuff. this is of course anecdotal and it's naive to trust someone with your hardware anyway.
mircea_popescu: unlikely ; what if you check and find it. but anyway, go check.
asciilifeform: anyway she likes reading and writing pr0n
mircea_popescu: anyway, the marginal point here is that yes, sooner or later - and likelyt sooner than i'd like - we'll end up havign to tmsr this stupid shit also.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, in general and unrelatedly, this consumerist notion that "oh, i have rights" has very little weight in wot terms. shit in your relationships, good luck with your "rights".
mircea_popescu: anyway, the margin phenomena of the human sphere are platelet agglomeration on one end ; and aerobic necrosis on the other. the former makes a scab. the latter makes what fly maggots eat. which way the wound goes is decided by how much useful blood shows up per unit time.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-23 13:32 mircea_popescu: anyway ; yes, fat isn't innervated nor particularly perfused, and the more distant the less connected. which is why really fat people CAN'T actually lose weight. how would they, it is closer to a burlap backpack than a tissue.

Framedragger: (it came from hetzner btw where lotsa (by european folk standards anyway) 'shady' stuff runs and where quite a bit of hax0ring originates from)
mircea_popescu: anyway, in the general - whenever ideologue makes presuposition as to what humans are, or do, or will be or will do, he's therefore and by that an etatist.
asciilifeform: i dun have my usg thrall face card no moar (and it was only good for dod ministries anyway)
asciilifeform: anyway i was not there, and cannot say how much the entire story was simply a cover for embezzling half a bil usd
mircea_popescu: anyway, Framedragger golang is not liked here because we don't own it, and we don't like usg.google more than we like usg.anything, and because it seems quite well engineered to work as a baited hook for the usg chump works. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: anyway. waitstaff in the us etc is miserable for turnover anyway. mostly because it's almost entirely manned by out of work strippers and other college students. who stick for a job on a project-base, she needs an abortion, works three weeks
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: fwiw, posted as comment on your article, and paste here: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/516b9972-337a-4b88-ba48-711af84dc281/ - easiest format of responding is probably as a follow-up comment on blog, though.. anyway. i liked the overall idea.
mircea_popescu: i never pursued the matter and by now i guess she'd be old. but anyway.
mircea_popescu: anyway : as i watched the woman be in 50% of the shots and never ever win anything, it occured to me that maybe she's doing the same thing, only much better ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know, well i dunno if you know or not, but anyway - at the same time women contemplating a career in porn were more than willing to shoot a few features for the more respectable sites ~for free, because they gained popularity and a stamp of quality.
mircea_popescu: to anyone qualified in the field it's obvious that this approach helps psychosis and hurts neurosis ; and that it's about 1000 times more likely to be picked up by the neurotic than by the psychotic. for the very fucking obvious reason that cures predicated on health are no fucking cures whatsoever omfg what school did these nitwits go to anyway!
mircea_popescu: discussed as a joke at first with horrified girls, maybe eventually edged towards but not as a rule. what's the rush and what's the drive anyway.
mod6: and perhaps thats better anyway.
mircea_popescu: anyway. i can readily see usg womanchild losing her shit because it's the first time in her life that he encounters the implacable "sit down and shut up, worm"
asciilifeform: anyway gosplan does not and does not even seriously pretend to work by solving the motherfukcing equation, but instead it cuts the princesses' feet to fit the shoes when necessary.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i stand by it, if the year were 2006 and twitter was a tgp, it'd be worth about 600k. which in today's money is maybe 1mn.
mod6: anyway shoot me an addy, and i'll throw you some digits
asciilifeform: and what kind of luser works anyway!1111 winnerz eat from their 10,000 heads of cattle and rent from the baronial landz!11111111111
asciilifeform: anyway it's doable, but you gotta think about what happens when enemy gets wind and generates a quintillion crud keys.
mircea_popescu: anyway, in practical terms - so he references both. good for him. anyone interested in doing some work can look at either site and proceed. i can't find any useful item AT ALL on factorable net. not as much as a factor or anything. some vague discussions in summary of supposed finds substantiated in no manner. if this is science you can also be pope, why not.
mircea_popescu: anyway, lettuce read on teh bbc the stuff they read on trilema back in january 2015 and took a year and a half to digest! clearly "the media" is relevant, influential and what was the other one.
mod6: anyway, yeah, i'll find sometime in the next week maybe to try this one out personally and rebase if required.
mircea_popescu: as little as a link to .... o wait, check it out... hacker news beleeted the comment pointing out he was caught lying last year. loller. anyway. as much as a link to <a href=http://trilema.com/2015/more-factored-rsa-keys-and-assorted-other-considerations/#selection-413.0-419.38>Hanno Böck caught lying.</a> will do
mircea_popescu: anyway. i'll be re-reading teh statements and issuing a closure for f.mpif.
mircea_popescu: anyway, yeah, no fake logs appeared yet. and miner conspiracy no longer exists, also. and things.
mircea_popescu: as well as a programme to deploy pu decoys on ocean floor. tho a) russians map the shit and b) so wtf does it do for you anyway.
mircea_popescu: anyway, let it be said for the record that if anyone wants to move here and do the job, and we can keep costs within sanity, i'd definitely considering making a plant and exporting the product freely
mircea_popescu: anyway. P-G-V-iB and we're getting somewhere.
mircea_popescu: ssh header is for absolutely no reason ---- BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ---- ie four dashes and a space instead of five dashes, and wtf is a "ssh2" key anyway.
mircea_popescu: anyway. it would seem that by taking a ssh/ssh2 key, converting it to openssh format ($ssh-keygen -i -f old.pub > new.pub ) then replacing the headers/enders with correct values and adding a blank line after header/before comments you get a properly noted key.
mircea_popescu: anyway. is and has been the vulva for ~15`000 years.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the other point being that there's no requirement for any actual heavy lifting work be done - take flask, read through it once, snip idiocies, put it in v and voila, official tmsr boost.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, the interview in question is pretty funny in the whole gaddafi line, because it is EXACTLY the brits poking the dog so it may bite so it may be killed. and the dog is like "wtf is wrong with you people ?"
mircea_popescu: anyway. multivers and mnogomernost. maybe useful later.
mircea_popescu: anyway. tibet used to be, roughly speaking, southern california of china. it got the mongolian hordes in the midwest all occupied, and more likely to put up with the emperor in washingtonjing.
phf: and even if it was, he had it coming anyway
mircea_popescu: anyway, the economic issues are incontrovertible. the "general computer" as killer micro is an 80s thing because white people were not mentally ill and mentally retarded then.
asciilifeform: and copy protection is a red herring anyway
mircea_popescu: the notion that the aforementioned 7 day cycle / daily cycle human was SAD is so much fan wank, to survive in the minds of the incredibly sad contemporary population mostly on the grounds that hey, panglossism is easy and where would they meet a german serf anyway, to find out first hand he was actually having a better life than they do.
mircea_popescu: but anyway - you can self-voice for an indefinite period by pm-ing deedbot $up and then $v the otp it gives you
mircea_popescu: anyway, for the noobs : mpex 1st conference was principally this thing where voorhees and casares tried to convince me usg is the only game in town, with me laughing, and me stating mtgox isn't going to be around for long, with them laughing.
mircea_popescu: anyway, shapeshit's irrelevant with our without all the "oh noes look at how famous bitbet is let us try and engineer an imperial equivalent"
davout: anyway, as soon as i receive the additional cash i'll craft the unsigned transaction and publish it for public review
mod6: anyway, did anyone else rip off that guys Perl CS implementation from his university paper and get it to work?
mircea_popescu: anyway, back to the iB : there's a number of very valuable ideas, at least in my eyes, that discussion throughout has brought out. yes the sha thing discussed on trilema ; also - ada, linked into the c, and slowly driving out the c, much in the way the vermin try to drive out say x11 or rsa etc.
sbp: I know he just meant alert reader generally, but he did a previous post where one of our chatlogs was titled "the alert reader", and so I decided to take up the challenge anyway because I was curious as to what the encodings were—I wanted to understand how the seals were intended to be used
mod6: ok, so anyway, i'll ponder some things tonight and tomorrow, and we'll discuss more.
mircea_popescu: it seems rather obvious that a bunch of undergrads would prefer to hack on a game over any and all other possible tasks they could get. not sure this point needs further argument, but if it does, prolly the blockhead in question not fit for white collar work anyway.
mircea_popescu: but anyway. once. and then ? she's still there.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the longstanding rule has been that one can use whathever the fuck one wishes, and reap the benefits of maintenance down the road on their own ass.
mircea_popescu: anyway, so i suppose in the "blogs that must be", we have "adlai - views from inside the insane asylum" and "phf - they have philosophy in russia even!"
phf: Anyway I can't communicate that point because I only infrequently manage it, and the results are always predictably +ev, but perhaps it's the idea that minimax requires painful break, but then possibility space opens up and a talented person like yourself will have a relatively easy (though not effortless) time exploiting it
mircea_popescu: anyway - back to the scam thing briefly - bitcoin does in fact deliver on its "best economics lab ever devised" role, for they capable and willing to look. the whole "didn't start out as a scam" thing that is pretty much the universal rule of fiat anything, played itself more obviously, more rapidly, in the hands of more naive people less versed in covering it up.
mircea_popescu: ("you'd have to do it in parallel anyway!" "well if you're doing it anyway, wouldn't it be ~rational~ they don';t do it at all and save the cost ?" << that's the logic.)
mircea_popescu: anyway, linquistically if you care, old italic as well as greek, along with armenian and georgian all derive chiefly from phoenician, which is a canaanite language.
danielpbarron: the current goal is specifically to make sure the current miners don't use it, and all the bitcoin companies meet here anyway
diana_coman: but it's not really clear what that is in itself anyway and then it gets mingled with what is actually said
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's pretty ridiculous, ro/pl/etc rents are about half that, and that's in the eu.
mircea_popescu: phf anyway, take your time. mebbe alf watches it too and he can catch up with teh rest of the class!
mircea_popescu: anyway. there's little doubt, if nothing else for gm reasons, that the original #bible-a was rather anti-establishment ; and then got reshaped into something more tolerant once the wot involved ended up in power irl.
mircea_popescu: anyway, back to the horse and hay, mark twain has a funny bit about his caballine purchase in drought-struck nevada.
DianaComan: anyway, it made me curious: what's the crazy that was plenty and seen but not really digested as it turned out?
mircea_popescu: anyway, afaik i'm one of the very few if not the only irc user that actually only uses one channel - and even i use two these days, this and #eulora
mircea_popescu: anyway, for the curious student of political history, i'd gladly read a piece explaining the differences between the "denazification" as carried out by the allied control council from 1946 onwards ; and the various internal troubles of the eastern socialist party, whether you pick dekulakization, or de-trotskyfication, or great leap forward or w/e.
mircea_popescu: anyway. lulz at the entire "we'll talk about things in the vague and be all pretentious and shit" junior high ugly girl club thing. i'm so impressed i almost think the whole prb/mit/blabla crowd of shitheads is worth pissing on.
assbot: Logged on 24-03-2016 15:12:01; mircea_popescu: anyway, i'm not going to read the latest installments in fiatista turdology, much like hte prev ones. nor do i need to, they're perpetually the same crud. in any case : loyalty is not a bad thing. loyalty to bad people is a bad thing, but loyalty in general is the only saving grace of manhood. the one probem socialism generally encounters is loyalty, which is why the whole song and dance.

asciilifeform: anyway i'm not personally mentally invested in any of this, and won't shed so much as nanoliter of tear .
mircea_popescu: and no - it moterfucking IS NOT "our obligation to try anyway, mp, try, try".
assbot: Logged on 23-03-2016 14:06:24; mircea_popescu: anyway, take it from a software design perspective. you are proposing to change the stateless parser (bet accepted) -> (bet resolved) -> (bet paid out) into a stateful and undefined (bet accepted) -> (bet resolved) -> (???) -> (some thing paid according to some rules you can't know)
mircea_popescu: anyway, take it from a software design perspective. you are proposing to change the stateless parser (bet accepted) -> (bet resolved) -> (bet paid out) into a stateful and undefined (bet accepted) -> (bet resolved) -> (???) -> (some thing paid according to some rules you can't know) ☟︎
asciilifeform: and anyway why are you relying on the exit code ?
assbot: Logged on 17-03-2016 21:09:58; mircea_popescu: anyway. by and large, the "cleanning out corruption" narrative is what happens to a colonized place, ie, after the top leadership was defeated.
mircea_popescu: (it wasn't good enough anyway - it was, don't you know, ~corrupt~!!!!. see http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=17-03-2016#1435480 for what "corruption" means and how that narrative plays.) ☝︎
