assbot: Before you board the plane to Italy, consider this. | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... ( http://bit.ly/1OBtZ9t )
pete_dushenski: can't say i'd really recommend manguel's book, it was a bit too much about him being old and his life and times living all over the world
pete_dushenski: it just so happens that i just finished alberto manguel's 'curiousity', which is in essence a long-winded essay about la commedia.
BingoBoingo: We really need to flatten the circles a bit
pete_dushenski: but if i say that 0.5% is too small, what's a better proportion ? double digits doesn't sound unreasonable.
asciilifeform: wasn't there a link just earlier today re: dante banned
mod6: ;;later tell jurov nevermind, i reformatted it a bit and resent, went through this time.
asciilifeform: decimation: naturally. a 'lord' who has to actually dictate every 'x' is no lord, but 'floor boss'
asciilifeform: i.e. Accident4lly!11 nailgun himself to his pillow in bed, while in a single-car crash, of natural causes.
decimation: some pleb saving and endowing a fortune outside of usg's control is unthinkable
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> it isn't even about selling coal << During my two years at Mizzou they installed a Wood Chip furnace at their power plant.
decimation: it's not hard to do the math and realize that a few hundred kg of U is way cheaper to supply in the long run than massive quantities of coal
decimation: even 40 miles from ascii is a nuke plant that has been relicensed for another 20 years as I recall
asciilifeform: could cost what a truck costs
asciilifeform: designs exist that fit in a cellar ('pellet system')
decimation: fukoshima was a mediocere design in an idiotic location
asciilifeform: of course, it was rather like bio warfare, nobody ever found a way to keep them out of ru proper
asciilifeform: 'useful idiots' in europe are the gift that will keep on giving for a century+.
asciilifeform: 'The senior officers of the GRU have a particular dislike of Western nuclear power stations, which reduce the West's dependence on imported oil (including Soviet oil) and make it stronger and more independent. They are one of spetsnaz's, most important targets.'
BingoBoingo: lol, small difference between studio apartments with gypsum drywall and mudhuts which happen to have a lot of gypsum in the walls. Just normally the huts are more durable
asciilifeform: 'They said it would be unrealistic to close more than 20 of 58 reactors now in operation in the next 10 years. The legislation also includes a target of reducing the country's greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent by 2030, compared to the level in 1990. The new law aims to eventually halve France's energy consumption by 2050 from the 2012 level.'
mircea_popescu: i recall back when he was promoting it, it having a very distinct bitcoin-insanity vibe to it.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: http://journals.lww.com/em-news/Fulltext/2004/10000/The_Jake_Walk_and_Limber_Trouble__A_Toxicology.45.aspx << related
asciilifeform: a not-uncommon situation in perfectly legit organic chem, incidentally
decimation: not that it would be a terribly wise course
decimation: it strikes me as more likely that it was some lowbrow schmoe with a gand scheme
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-07-2015#1211262 << actually this is a fairly legitimate way to try and hinder btc mempool propagation from the usg side. ☝︎
decimation: not a big street market for warfarin
assbot: Logged on 19-07-2014 01:48:06; decimation: "Buffeting its load of tightly packed bodies, the gaily painted orange and blue truck drove on through the streets, passed a railway station and stopped at a crossroads. There, halted by a traffic-light, stood the dark-red car belonging to the Moscow correspondent of the Paris newspaper LIBERATION, on his way to a hockey match at the Dynamo Stadium. On the side of the van the correspondent read the words
asciilifeform: iirc, in us - just as in su - it is not permissible to open a prisonwagen outside of the wire. and if it burns in a wreck - tough cookies for the occupants..
BingoBoingo: Not long ago on I-64 there was a multi-prison bus accident near Nashville Illinois. Fun reports.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> in usa, they often get shipped, bound and gagged, in a bus, across the country << When traveling in search of fiat income I see many.
asciilifeform: in usa, they often get shipped, bound and gagged, in a bus, across the country

mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ it only has a little gfx anyway
decimation: BingoBoingo: isn't there a big prison near Terra Haute?
BingoBoingo: cazalla: Unless if that is a suggestion, then maybe
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i see some changes and i don't want to publicize the wrong package so this will have to wait until chetty shows up. im making it a top priority, should be hours.
cazalla: BingoBoingo, end the evening with a fireworks display?
BingoBoingo: They brought in a team though to avoid objections.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: My chess coach during my youth was actually a salaried chaplin there. Was part of the team that gave Timmy his last rights.
cazalla: asciilifeform, you can write with zero intention of sending money, replies usually stop by the 3rd or 4th letter although a few girls wrote me 10 pagers
asciilifeform: exercise for alert reader (tm) : write a program which generates 'girls' for BingoBoingo to send money to.
phf: asciilifeform: fwiw i've not tried pcengines yet, but i might get it for an additional openbsd machine on your recommendation. compared to soekris though a lot of boards that i tried have dodgy reliability. i.e. random crashes. like BingoBoingo said though, this might just be a reputation impression
asciilifeform: hey, incitatus is a 'celeron'
phf: re atom, it is 32bit only. i tried running stator on atom board with openbsd, it overheats, deferring until i figure out a cooling solution
asciilifeform: if you carry one, as a necessary evil, to earn bread with - that's one thing
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: In Lenovo's X140e they have a version they brand on AMD's A4 line which seems like a die shrink of the E-350. I can't find anything on Liberating it though.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: My only complaint is hard to cool in a portable while keeping bitcoin in sync
asciilifeform: not so cheap it can be dropped from a plane, no

BingoBoingo: I might have to when 5.8 comes around. It is a Lenovo X120e running an Intel wireless card
asciilifeform: give it a shot
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-07-2015#1211164 < "i think maybe i'm a little fast but you can't really tell" ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-07-2015#1211159 << he's also a good decade your senior yo. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 24-07-2015 00:42:40; phf: i thought early adopters went by way of same in other gold rush situations. "bought pizza for half a pound of gold. later bought car for the other half. life's good mang". very few actually financially literate and with enough foresight for it to not be peanuts (i.e. "fortunes" ~~ 100-200k)
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-07-2015#1211157 << mentions of a certain car are in the logs. ☝︎
asciilifeform: i didn't even discover the pseudostaticity of 'pseudostatic' bin until attempted a pogo run
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-07-2015#1211284 << reminder to experimenters - given as this is a ~static~ binary, it oughta run on any reasonable linux, once built ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 24-07-2015 01:51:42; mod6: asciilifeform: so we'd like to have dumpblock go into the release if possible -- both dump and eat need a bunch of testing and I've got some automated test scenarios working around dumpblock already. but I ran into the seg fault lastnight with too few parameters, i think i fixed it with this simple change: http://dpaste.com/2SRW78V.txt
BingoBoingo: cazalla: It was a while back. Dude also ran an operation called "BitAds"
BingoBoingo: Minecraft seems to mostly attract small children and autists. A very dangerous combination... legally
cazalla: BingoBoingo, i think there was already minecraft bitcoin casino or something like this a few years back, shitty game for autists anyway
assbot: Logged on 23-07-2015 01:28:32; hanbot: so .deb package checked against .rpm file list shows libc_stubs.a missing, the other eleven are present. debian says no .deb packages contain this guy. i'm assuming i need it. auto.sh still errorful after grabbing everything else here http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-07-2015#1209888 (errorflurry: http://dpaste.com/26ZEG17 ). doesn't look like that missing library has anything to do with it, but prolly
mod6: but on debian, which is similar in a way to ubuntu with `apt-get`, you need to first update apt-get (anyone correct me if I'm wrong): `apt-get update` and `apt-get upgrade`
BingoBoingo: To build stator on "Linux Mint" and ubuntu like I had to first hunt down and install the compilers, because why would a *nix need to ship with compilers
cazalla: trinque, not the sort of people you'd want to share a beer with let alone anything else
assbot: [Request] Bitcoin economy plugin for a minecraft server. : Bitcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1Opcqsw )
mod6: i have a replacement patch ready to go if you're alright with that change.
mod6: asciilifeform: so we'd like to have dumpblock go into the release if possible -- both dump and eat need a bunch of testing and I've got some automated test scenarios working around dumpblock already. but I ran into the seg fault lastnight with too few parameters, i think i fixed it with this simple change: http://dpaste.com/2SRW78V.txt ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Kept throwing up fresh stalks of flowers all the way from early may when I planted them to a couple weeks ago on the purle ones. White ones less established by still flowering and growing
BingoBoingo: I planted a bunch of different plants from the salvia genus in the front yard this year. None are recommended for recreational consumption.
cazalla: charge well for it as well, something like $1000 a course
BingoBoingo: cazalla: Nah that's a few steps down
hanbot: asciilifeform the specifics of the dwelling aside, i am fairly confident that gavin doesn't have to show up to an office and program '9-5+' to get it << no, he just has to behave like a proper shitconduit. there's a lot of ways to gain various degrees of access to things, and most of them are unappealing.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i once looked up, technically american doctors can (could?) even prescribe cocaine << Usually only prescribed as a local anesthetic
assbot: Logged on 24-07-2015 00:58:33; hanbot: asciilifeform so it doesn't "have" an apt number. not like he likely "has" the box at that address, in whatever construction it may be. can make up all kinds of ideas about what people have while it's on paper. what they really own is almost never recognisable from a list.
BingoBoingo: funkenstein_: Nah. One of the kinds in my boy scout troop back in the day was on it. I'm guessing the profile for a kid that gets Desoxyn is maybe turning them into a hardcore addict at 13 might get them to focus on something.
funkenstein_: croaker is a "doctor" - gives "prescription"
asciilifeform: wtf is a 'croaker'
asciilifeform: plantations, even, had freestanding kitchens. (i was on an old plantation, and saw this alive, preserved, just last night.) for a reason..
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> but for more 'silk roady' reasons of 'want dope but no dopewot' << Sure but usually they evade detection as they don't light the world on fire. What if NIST dope hit a cesium clock? How many leapseconds would follow
BingoBoingo: Uncle Al would be very welcome to contribute to Qntra if he ever took a break from disqus
asciilifeform: mod6: i thought you were speaking of a node that was being built last night
assbot: Logged on 24-07-2015 01:17:16; mod6: nosuchlabs.com. 1800 IN A 195.211.154.159

BingoBoingo: funkenstein_: Or have a good time on that shit.
funkenstein_: <mircea_popescu> hey weren't you pretending to be a dwarf ? <-- yeah old story involving long dead game, also i don't need to pretend: mental dwarf

mircea_popescu: which is why i suggest contact. it's a truth known since roman antiquity that only truth dispells the fantasms of onanism.
mircea_popescu: 45 High St, Amherst MA. bring flowers, i don't imagine he'll kick you out. can have a nice cup of coffee.
asciilifeform: iirc he was pulling in roughly 2x the traditional rate for a programmer in east usa
mircea_popescu: pay him a visit sometime.
mircea_popescu: maybe he turned overnight into a successful 0day broker ?
