mircea_popescu: asciilifeform your idea of straightness is "have never observed a penis" ?
mircea_popescu: mostly a disease of "visual thinkers", as illustrated by the poor job they do at covering the actual space. ☟︎
punkman: that's a pretty good one :D
trinque: reminds me a little of that Deepak Chopra guy talking about quantum consciousness
mircea_popescu: not giving a shit about the stupid preoccupations of the stupid is the worst crime.

mircea_popescu: that starts after it's gone no where for a year
trinque: you can go out into the street right now and start a riot, and the cops wont even kill that many people
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller lmao what a fucking scam srsly... so he has some pictures, pngs text on it, wants to be paid serious dough for this and runs disqus to boot.

punkman hopes "megyn" isn't a name
mircea_popescu: what's the woman's name again, i forget. sounds just like a porn star.
wilbns: i think the whole subject of illegal immigration and subsequent media coverage is just a big misdirection play to stop people from banding together and asking real questions.
wilbns: BingoBoingo: my first job was at a car wash in Arkansas, ICE came at least one time I know of, possibly 2 and took some of the Mexicans I was working with away.
shinohai: I have more Hispanics around me than anything. I see ICE agents on a regular basis.
mircea_popescu: ". In spite of Zynga's hemorrhaging wallet and shrinking userbase shares still manage to trade on Nasdaq (archived) at $2.64 per share implying a market cap of $2,072,302,357 on a earnings per share of negative 19 cents."
BingoBoingo: Living in a shittier area would be more fun, but It's nice knowing that the whopping 20 blacks in town don't make this a target for DOJ purge agitation
shinohai: I live in a darker area than I'd like, but all-in-all it isn't bad.
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Nah, I am in a very white part of Illinois.
punkman: "After France was liberated toward the end of World War II, French citizens who had supported the invading German troops in any form were tracked down and had their heads forcefully shaved as a badge of dishonor. As many as 20,000 French citizens had their heads shaved in public, the majority of which were women."
trinque: reminds me of a thread on the relationship between computers and bureaucracy
mircea_popescu: max hardcore seems infinitely better a choice.
shinohai has a startac in the closet somewhere .... ☟︎
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> there is no reason for '90s bricks. << motorola made them with good enough antenna assemblages you could bash a head in. also the hi q plastics in the casing allowed one to drive mercedes over phone and then use it. ☟︎
jurov: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-08-2015#1232854 ... got quite a kick from this ☝︎
trinque: damn, now that's a database
trinque: go, build ye a gentoo, and read 6mos of logs

wilbns: http://thenextweb.com/2015/08/10/google-is-reorganizing-under-a-new-umbrella-company-called-alphabet/
trinque: even if you end up with a working pogo, if you don't understand the steps which resulted in that, you've gained very little
shinohai: ^ alphabet with a few letters: nsa, fbi, etc
assbot: Google is reorganizing under a new umbrella company called Alphabet ... ( http://bit.ly/1gu4pYn )
shinohai: http://thenextweb.com/2015/08/10/google-is-reorganizing-under-a-new-umbrella-company-called-alphabet/
kakobrekla: n6 that would prolly be a good step 1
shinohai: Which I why I suggested earlier he get a sane linux to get started.
trinque: you need to focus on a single linux environment and get a foothold there
ascii_field: enough for a few days
ascii_field: kinda like a medieval reenactment party ~complete with black death~
ascii_field: the slovenian thing is a 'hemingwriter'
trinque: considered a beeper even
ascii_field: a dozen makers of this. about $20, give or take, in usa
trinque: nothing in particular; I am still in the market for a suitable dumbphone

trinque: I suppose I am a filthy american who does not deserve fine Slovenian engineering, and Moscow design
mircea_popescu: not a priority either.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: do we have a civilized keyserv yet
n6: googling around it seems like I might need a cert but don't really understand what its asking for.
trinque: I used to imagine a robot came and pressed these out of the ground one by one
mircea_popescu: check it out they made a show
ascii_field: 'The series follows the lives of the residents of the small town of Rome, Wisconsin, where weird things happen, including cows' udders exploding and a spate of people turning up dead in freezers. Struggling to maintain order in the community is Sheriff Jimmy Brock...'
mircea_popescu: looky here : copybook headings aren't gonna change through human effort. be it positive "har har, we're so good" or negative "har har, i'm a cynicist so this works now".
mircea_popescu: as a matter of principle - modern finance is mostly a bunch of entitled imbeciles trying for the lowest-effort approach. ideally, if they could just open a sack and money fell in kthx.
mircea_popescu: if you find it doesn't match you got a good story for a blogpost.
mircea_popescu: phf alternatively you can just download a possibly dirty key, use it, then once you get to know the person ask them to verify it
mats: yes, i know, everyone in #b-a is edgy
mats: this is a good move on microsoft's part
trinque: heh, then they turn around and sell them to the govt at a handsome profit?
ascii_field: mike hearn as a courageous fighter against nsa !
assbot: [META] On hardforking: If Bitcoin is so vulnerable to reddit posts and a man who codes in the open, that it requires censorship to stay safe, perhaps it is destined for doom after all. : Bitcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1Tl9kHI )
trinque: phf: might be nice to make a deed of a big wad of public keys
phf: for the record i think a secure and verifiable path for receiving a key of person in wot is to ssl connect to freenode using explicit server key, request !shasum wot from assbot, download http://files.bitcoin-assets.com/wot/wot_users.sql.gz, verify its shasum, do `zgrep -oE '\([^)]+phf[^)]+\)' wot_users.sql.gz` (or whatever nick), the second number in the grep output is going to be the key fingerprint, next grep --recv-key <fingerprint>
n6: ascii_field: I'm install it from the app store.. they don't even have a progress bar hope its installing.
ascii_field: where a cathedral once stood
ascii_field: there was a glorious pay toilet across the street from where i grew up
n6: ascii_field: installed ports but still don't see path to gpg infact don't even see a "port" command used https://www.macports.org/install.php "OS X 10.10 Yosemite"
mircea_popescu: whenever you run across one of these "software projects" in bootstrap/qt/whatever the fuck tell them "This is not programming, this is hogramming. Be a pro, don't be a ho."
mircea_popescu: by the time electricity was a central commodity, idem.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field get out. by the time oil was a central commodity to civilisation for fifty years, it was trivial to get an engine deployed to spec. TO SPEC!!!11
n6: I'm working on the real computer thing, its a long road.
ascii_field: or get a real computer
ascii_field: download a copy of the key
n6: ascii_field: yea this gentoo thing has me under a lot of pressure, working on going down a more sane path today. Homework first then attack the problem, last few days tried attacking first and it hasnt worked out.
ascii_field: n6: i.e. 'why to check sigs' is a question you should be able to answer
phf: gernika: can you also give me a log of $(eulora_brew --prefix eulora)/euclient.app/Contents/MacOS/euclient > euclient-run.log 2>&1
shinohai: I did the pogotron thing and still wound up with a x86 binary
shinohai: mod6 says it builds a binary but won't run. As soon as mine completes I'll confirm.
ascii_field: i posted a working example of this months ago
n6: ascii_field: I want to build gentoo using a x86 but for an armv7a, using something like distcc? would that make the builds DETERMINISTIC since everything you would need would be included?
wilbns: BingoBoingo: thanks for following-up... yeah, some stuff did seem a little strange w/ greenwald. also, not sure if you perceived this, but from my perspective, parts of the doc seemed a little scripted or rehearsed.
cazalla: you'd think hearn and co would at least put up a few dozen extra xt nodes to fool people into thinking the mass of /r/bitcoin posts demanding xt discussion are legit
cazalla: shinohai, a stay in hospital is pretty well subsidised here if you go public and don't mind the total lack of service, or you can go private (we don't really have pre-existing condition stuff here.. if you take out private health insurance, any pre-existing condition is covered after 12 months)
shinohai: There is a whole black market (pun intended) for food stamps/drugs here.
shinohai: It's cheaper for me to hire a private nurse. I get better care and don't have to be in a filthy hospital.
shinohai: Of course, I'm not a senior but was quite outraged at the cost of everyday items my last hospital stay.
punkman: it's a common scam
cazalla: a lot of thieving goes on in those government homes for disabled people down under too.. the clients get welfare and from that the care takers pocket chunks of it by claiming they spent more than they did ($5 lunch becomes $15 lunch type of shit)
cazalla: shinohai, prob the tip of the iceberg, i assume a lot of paedos work in such professions
wilbns: mircea_popescu: it just seemed like something was/is a bit strange about the whole ordeal
mircea_popescu wonders how many people implemented a "textual replacement lisp interpreter" in bash/perl/php just to bother their sicp prof.
phf: gernika: why not relax with a new eulora build formula?
mircea_popescu: someone could also shoot a bunch of people by the time they're 29.
assbot: Logged on 26-07-2015 15:35:35; asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-07-2015#1213082 << did the summarizer of #b-a logs go anywhere ?
danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-07-2015#1213181 << I'd like to transition my twitter bashing of this channel to my own blog, and would like it to be hosted by that BISP thing but not directly, like rent out some space on someone else's thingy. Is this a possibility yet? ☝︎
mod6: Meanwhile, I can offer you a script that I use to patch up through maxint_locks_corrected from v0.5.3.1 -- it's not a guide, but if you read the steps, it's what needs to happen and in what order. The new (forthcoming) guide will be based on these steps: http://dpaste.com/0YVSD6Q.txt
