kakobrekla: that 4.5v - most often used in
a handheld flash light here. some armies had those too afaik.
ag3nt_zer0:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-08-2015#1253717 << fair enough... though this reaction of mine is likely related to the fact that I was once fired from
a school district while subbing because
a student reported that I called her an "idiot" - wasn't true; I was speaking of the classroom behavior as
a whole, but mattered not to the spineless principle nor to my "mentor" (I was sub for him) - this was with 10 days to
☝︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i tell you honestly, if i actually had to run
a retarded linux thing for each of these i'd strongly consider just giving up.
assbot: Logged on 27-08-2015 21:16:31; mircea_popescu: tar was still used for insulation in 4.5V batteries when i was
a kid. and the cells were paper wrapped.
kakobrekla: oddly enough i got last 3 lines before 'worx' in the same half
a second
assbot: Logged on 27-08-2015 19:57:22; moonpunter: but vietnam was
a real war in my book.
assbot: Logged on 27-08-2015 20:42:00; mircea_popescu: networking is chiefly multitasking because of the way it's implemented. but even in systems built to mt, there's
a dedicated box added outside.
mircea_popescu recalls the lulzy instance when "big deal" silicon valley firm wanted to talk but
a) principals "didn't have the time" to come visit and b) they really didn't see "why i'd need" three first class tickets + hotel of "pick from this list" + the rest of the rider.
mircea_popescu: this because the usg is
a great expert at making claims and putting forth pretense, but can't generally pay
a cup of coffee if it comes to it.
kakobrekla: I have
a friend that made like 120 BTC because he could buy really cheap Bitcoins during
a past flashcrash. From those 120, he only got 20 out. Bitfinex told him: sorry there was
a trading engine problem. You never really bought 120 Bitcoins.
gernika: mircea_popescu I suppose that's one thing you couldn't do in
a private all boys boarding school as opposed to
a public school.
mircea_popescu: <gernika> I wonder what is the sane mode of behavior for
a child stuck in the public school system? << what the black kids do. fuck all the girls in class by the age they're 14, and whether they want to or not.
gernika: I wonder what is the sane mode of behavior for
a child stuck in the public school system? Perhaps to make it work it actually is necessary to hit them and yell at them, but should it be made to work?
trinque:
a dead body goes through all sorts of stages of rot, none of them reversible
ag3nt_zer0: I hear in India that once
a student is asked to leave
a school... thats it, forever.
thestringpuller: and this cant be
a localized phenomenon in time and space there should be spoiled children throughout history and in many different places
trinque: not being paid attention to constantly is the most horrible thing that can happen to
a person!
thestringpuller: the spoiled phenomenon is
a matter of circumstance in my opinion
ag3nt_zer0: this fucking kid yesterday: I have him count sing this simple 4-beat card - he does
a pretty good job which I greet, perhaps shameful in restrospect, with enthusiasm... and then i say, "the only thing I would suggest could be better is holding the beats all the way through"
moonpunter: followed Furthur for awhile
a few years ago, before i got married
assbot: Successfully added
a rating of 1 for moonpunter with note: falls into holes.
BingoBoingo:
A few folks though fall into lots of holes
assbot: Searching pgp.mit.edu for key with fingerprint: 6310C4E0B0E97287A3CFEBAD8515F76EADCFD13C. This may take
a few moments.
assbot: That does not seem to be
a valid fingerprint.
trinque: mircea_popescu: hm, yeah. the advantage of being able to drop
a jaw by merely existing?

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-08-2015#1253407 << you blessfully ignore the part where THEY CAN BARELY AFFORD
A CHAIR. you understand this, do you ? the schmucks that are "ceo"s and whatnot, can barely afford their own breakfast ? the reason airbnb HAS TO exist is because if they can't sleep on each other's bike rags they can't "go to conferences" and prop up the whole word cloud ?
mircea_popescu: she holds her own just fine, and she's on fucking stilts and backed against
a wall.
mircea_popescu: tar was still used for insulation in 4.5V batteries when i was
a kid. and the cells were paper wrapped.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and if you think about it for
a moment, it should be apparent why any sort of an alternative scheme wouldn't even work. given that yes, radiation is
a fact of cosmos.
mircea_popescu: (those reasons being chiefly that woman comes with fully formed ovules pre-packaged. an ovary is essentially
a bunch of candy-wrapped m&ms, and her period consists of one of those wrappers being torn. whereas
a male comes with
a sperm CREATION mechanism. so if the male is damaged, the male is out. if the female is damaged she'll just ovulate
a different skittle.)
mircea_popescu: (and yet he should be - in practical terms
a population that spends x on sheltering women and x on sheltering men will fare ~35% worse than
a population that just spends 2x on sheltering men. because women are for many reasos much much harider)
mircea_popescu: (and how convenient she's female - i'd like to see someone keep
a 19yo guy pinned down with the old folks for six weeks.)
mircea_popescu: the girl (i think it's
a girl ?) setting the table does not shit ? why's she get
a plate then ?
ascii_field: let's also put
a flying unicorn in the picture.
ascii_field: so there is the imaginary reality of the sales pitch, but
a separate physical reality of what these were used for.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: it is no deep secret that the 'shelter industry' was largely part cargo-cult, part 'i wanna build
a wine cellar without wife bitching'
mircea_popescu: ascii_field how much shit is produced in six weeks by
a group of three people ? not counting the water it flushes with, just the shit.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field im not too keep to manage
a larger count of items.
assbot: Logged on 27-08-2015 20:37:00; mircea_popescu: mats i don't see
a way to implement his scheme as anything but running dozens of machines to replace my desktop. which, in fairness, was one of the proposed approaches back in the 70s.
mats: systems programmers are the high priests of
a low cult
mircea_popescu: you could in principle then just have
a dedicated process for single task networking.
mircea_popescu: networking is chiefly multitasking because of the way it's implemented. but even in systems built to mt, there's
a dedicated box added outside.
☟︎ mats: how does anybody meaningfully build on e.g. 'msdos' when it has only one operating mode, is purposed for
a 'single-task', and doesn't blow up when some level of the abstraction (that by any reasonable person could be reasoned as multi-task if it is to do anything useful, e.g, graphics, networking, file system access!!1) has
a bug in it?
mircea_popescu: mats i don't see
a way to implement his scheme as anything but running dozens of machines to replace my desktop. which, in fairness, was one of the proposed approaches back in the 70s.
☟︎ mats: shall we boot up
a machine for every x server of every gui-level application we wish to run, because there is no such thing yet as gui-level isolation?

☝︎☟︎ assbot: Logged on 27-08-2015 18:18:04; mats: this represents such
a regression in so many ways i am unable to count them
moonpunter: the computer store up the block charged less for
a 25 foot cable than to simply put the adapter on for me. annoying. came home and immediately bought
a $8 tool off ebay.
moonpunter: i just think he's ridiculous to take offense to people using
a term he himself introduced. anyone with half
a brain would never use
a term like that and expect an intelligent group to not dissect and then turn it around on them.
mircea_popescu: nobody's sitting there with an amp meter and
a soldering iron.
mircea_popescu: mats / ascii_field the dispute you're engaged in looks to me like
a failure to agree upon terminology. alf thinks in terms of "competent user". mitigation as generally discussed thinks in term of "usg-spawned monkey which was allowed at
a keyboard for no conceivable reason". in this later case, hotgluing the usb hole is
a valid mitigation technique.
mircea_popescu: moonpunter ask an individual that participated. seven days
a week consisted of bad leadership and getting pounded.
moonpunter: i find it ironic that mike hearn is taking issue with people using the word "dictators" although he was originally the one who suggested that gavin be
a benevolent dictator
mircea_popescu: ok, that inadiquet thing rules. "i need feminism because i am stupid and white. if i were black i'd need rakim on
a horse."
mircea_popescu: and jesus god trilema comments are something else. at the same time there's
a woman telling me how incredibly right i was, and some derp telling me how incredibly wrong ~i'm going to be~. pointless and witless on parade, neverending, eternal.
moonpunter: i just uploaded it there
a few minutes ago. probably have to wait
a bit.
assbot: Logged on 27-08-2015 17:26:30; mats: it seems log.b-
a is dropping stuff, i can't find things from e.g. 02APR2015
trinque: or the person sitting with
a serial terminal allowing or denying messages enter/exit the system
trinque: speaking as
a fool, this seems like two gentlemen talking entirely at crossways. on the one hand, what do I do with all these monstrous linux machines I'm already using? (perhaps tape, if you have nothing else) and on the other hand, what would I build to replace the whole mess
BingoBoingo: Versaille was
a regression from do not shit in residence without removing shit.
mats: this represents such
a regression in so many ways i am unable to count them
☟︎ mats: despite living in
a world where there are many computers to
a person, folks still understandably want to be able to run more than
a single application per computer
mats: i'm bowled over by the thought that you believe that e.g. the 'msdos' security model is
a good idea
ascii_field: how many bits of info it would take to teach
a martian to build
a copy of the machine.
mats: there is
a quantitative approach that can be taken, lets say:
mats: saying complexity increases to attack surface is
a simplification at best and misleading at worst
mats: did quite
a bit of reading today into various linux mitigations and it seems you didn't get that selinux/grsec RBAC are fundamentally about constraining usermode

punkman: I went, agreed to price that was approaching cost of laptop, then he passes me
a fucking form to fill out. "I'm not leaving the machine here, I have to be present" "oh never mind then, I can't help you".
punkman: so this morning I call the closest laptop repair shop off the yellow pages, tell the guy I need so-and-so repaired and X,Y,Z removed. "you should come by so I can take
a look at it", "I can come by this afternoon, will you have time to work on it while I'm there?" "yes".
kakobrekla: >BTCChina will vote for
a 2MB limit < afaik bitfury said same
thestringpuller: Not getting anally expanded at all is the ideal solution. Although it reminds me of the South Park game where you have to give Randy
a fake abortion in which you abort one of his turds as to prove you are
a doctor and he is
a lady getting an abortion. Don't think this relevant...but you know.
