asciilifeform: 'Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott has charged the Texas State Guard, a traditional militia that numbers 1,900 and cannot be recruited into the federal army at times of war, with observing the actions of the special forces units.'
asciilifeform: 'Former marine Pete Lanteri has formed 'Counter Jade Helm', a volunteer group that will monitor the soldiers as they operate in Texas, with similar organizations springing up in other states involved in the war games.'
nubbins`: only so much you can learn from a manual
asciilifeform: owner really ought to stroll by with a radio gizmo, no ?
mircea_popescu: yes but this is a purely aesthetic option on your part
mircea_popescu: so then they can convict him for using a terrorist device in furterance of a terrorist plot.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-07-2015#1202343 << this contemptible bit of usgism suggests that one ought to use modern crypto in the camera. that would make it quite impossible for the enemy to determine that it had taken a photo of anyone in particular - or for that matter how many; or for it to disgorge any bits whatsoever to an enemy probe. ☝︎
Naphex: and nobody does a thing lol
mircea_popescu dreams of a future where xotika-eulora have integration and people can go wank in a mmorpg
cazalla: i wonder if a clips4sale.com bitcoin clone might do ok
mircea_popescu: for a brief year or two it actually looked like they may save pron from the tubedeath.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, any idea what a site like mfc converts at?
cazalla: Naphex, tough sell to market to bitcoiners though.. i don't know what the numbers for mfc are like but i don't imagine more than 5% of visitors actually buy coins to tip the ladies with.. fewer people have bitcoins and i'd bet a smaller percent would be willing to part with em for cam girls, at least at this point in time
shinohai: There was a guy caught filming women whizzing in the bathroom at a starbucks near me.
cazalla: $25 i thought.. but really, that method isn't much different from roger ver's idea to set up a table in starbucks and sell starbuck vouchers via that bitcoin site wahtever the fuck it is called, forget
shinohai: coinbase will pay u up to $20 for a legit new account. whiz bang!
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, if you wish to try for it : buysellads takes btc and handles coinbase. they do a patently insane .1 btc CPM so i really don't advise it.
Naphex: i'll be launching a refferal program for xotika.tv later this week. hopefully it will help with the activit
mircea_popescu: if you ever decide for a big move, i wanna hear all about how it went.
Naphex: mircea_popescu: decent. trafic slowed down a bit.
mircea_popescu: (where sound good = "i've heard it a lot, and the context seemed to me positive")
Naphex: how long can you be called a startup anyway? reddit is like 10 years old or what o.O;
mircea_popescu: she's a fucktard, she has exactly no expertise or chops, and decade old failures are start-ups just like fifty year old starlets.
mircea_popescu: only technology executive anywhere who had the chops and experience to manage a startup of this size, AND who understood what reddit was all about. "
mircea_popescu: "But... the most delicious part of this is that on at least two separate occasions, the board pressed /u/ekjp to outright ban ALL the hate subreddits in a sweeping purge. She resisted, knowing the community, claiming it would be a shitshow. Ellen isn't some "evil, manipulative, out-of-touch incompetent she-devil" as was often depicted. She was approved by the board and recommended by me because when I left, she was the

mircea_popescu: https://blockchain.info/block/0000000000000000022149d63270ab40d6eb8b1575f14151a1acdee6a22dad83 << so is this actually a nonstandard block ?
fluffypony: oh wow, we're graced by a Freenode staff member
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i just use a desktop.
ben_vulpes: "i have been typing a lot and my hand hurts"
mircea_popescu: i got a better idea.
chetty: just think how great the net would be if all of a sudden all the ddos stopped, wonder what % of net traffic is that?
trinque: and just fart graphics onto a canvas or webgl ☟︎
trinque: I wanna build a bastard lisp for the webasm thing
trinque: hm from a perspective that is advocating a lack of constraints
trinque: bolting the behavior to anything other than a symbol is retarded
trinque: in particular what I like about the approach of just editing the db is it doesn't try to say this is a "customer" action or an "order" or so on
ben_vulpes: db constraints seem like a decent step.
trinque: can always throw an error if a particular slot is initialized to nil
ben_vulpes: the weakness is that we don't use database constraints, which is where the oop model shines a bit
ben_vulpes: we just have a bunch of functions called reset-password, set-user-whatever, update-user-whatever ☟︎
ben_vulpes: want to hear a dirty secret?
trinque: with a chick I hooked up with on the trip
trinque: heh, I did the same on a school trip's flight back from colorado
ben_vulpes: the funny thing about my stator is that i have a binary called bitcoind-7-11-patched-with-dumpblock
ben_vulpes: i for one have fondled and been fondled on many a flight with zero harrasment from either other passengers or flight staff
ben_vulpes: <pete_dushenski> "A flight attendant testified Lander and Jason George Chase, a co-accused, used a coat to cover their laps to fondle each other." << on air canada flight. both 'criminals' now under house arrest and/or probation. << i can't figure for whom this is a problem
ben_vulpes: it set in on a particularly long bike ride on a particularly shitty bike
ben_vulpes: i have a whole weekend of plane flights and insane fambly ahead
ben_vulpes: pay in cash for a 15% discount. half of the savings from not paying the tax man to the person paying, half to the merchant.
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> ag3nt_zer0: splendid, went to a kind of groceries shop where pr0l3z are not permitted (costs a hundy/yr to enter) << the things you find entertaining, i swear
ben_vulpes: <phf> ben_vulpes: eventually, aha. i'm not even sure yet that i can repeat the process. for example part of build process is a script that chooses between gcc-4.6 and clang based on whether it's .c or .mm. the fact that the result links i think is a miracle << bwahahahahahaha
pete_dushenski: https://www.google.ca/finance?q=SHA%3A000001&ei=4eKlVbnyNcmpmAGzyoXICw << aha ! magicked back into existence... and down a quick 1% for a total of -3.65% on the day.
assbot: Logged on 19-06-2014 03:26:18; asciilifeform: - that being, six generations of people willing to work into the grave for a cup of rice
asciilifeform: 'indias' are produces by a uniquely 20th c. process of industrially-powered overpopulation
asciilifeform: you are far more likely to get a new afghanistan.
asciilifeform: there is a common misconception that collapse followed by sufficiently-many generations of starvation and abject degradation can 'reset' and get you a new 'india' in place of a worn-out, 'consumerized' husk
pete_dushenski: "A flight attendant testified Lander and Jason George Chase, a co-accused, used a coat to cover their laps to fondle each other." << on air canada flight. both 'criminals' now under house arrest and/or probation.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: notice the basic dynamic, of 'indias' being a non-renewable resource.
pete_dushenski: or mebbe i'm a johnny come lately cynic. also possibru.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: bah, get out. there's a recipe for stock market accounting and sse is playing games.
pete_dushenski: "hey u guise, i have a capital idea ! mebbe no one will notice that we've inflated trillion of worthless rmb into our 'markets' if we change the colours of the stop lights at the intersection !"
pete_dushenski: not that i really give a shit about vancouver, mind you, but it's sorta kinda not really in my backyard atm.
ag3nt_zer0: with a mild speculative inference that it was instrumental in inspiring the geramns to topple the wall
pete_dushenski: that it's already in the logs... i dun really give a shit about ag3nt_zer0's hormones !
ag3nt_zer0: fair enough, maybe I am a gland junkie but I still find some of this stuff mildly shocking
assbot: You rated user mthreat on 27-Jun-2014, with a rating of 1, and supplied these additional notes: maker of supremely useful #bitcoin-assets search.
assbot: 2267 results for 'wtf' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=wtf
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: reminiscent of the cn reply to wester whiners re: 'tiananmen incident.' which was 'over here, we don't have total control like you, public opinion matters, ergo seditionists not tolerated. and we don't stock riot gear either, we're a poor country. they knew they signed up to crunch under tanks'
pete_dushenski: pretty lulzy way to operate a 'market' but hey, you don't mess with the emperor over there
danielpbarron: ag3nt_zer0, that's a simple list: The Bible.
ag3nt_zer0: danielpbarron: is that your booklist? I would be happy to see your list, the ones that cater to or inform your self-identification as a religious thinker, if you ever have the inclination to share...
trinque: I've got a 2tb I can dd all the drives to
trinque: cannot find a single mention on the web for geb2.kernel.org
asciilifeform: why engineer anything, when a bottomless supply of monkeys with 'duct tape' can be had.
asciilifeform: if anything, the turdalicious computer systems we have today are a consequence of cheap labour.
decimation: asciilifeform: do you sometimes phantasize about locking a group of promising young grads on an deserted island with only circa 1985 tools?
asciilifeform: a toolchain that works ~without even a part per billion of microshit~ is pure plutonium, plain and simple
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 'getpeerinfo' isn't so hard. consider contributing a patch ?
asciilifeform: i've said it before, and will say again - smbx is a dead end. i will not maintain crapcode that mit undergrads wrote in 1979.
asciilifeform: a local scrap dealer i will not presently name, sells retired usg contractors' boxes, often with whole shebang still in.
ag3nt_zer0: "adoption as official usg policy in a mildly perverted form" << via buterin's waterfall?
asciilifeform: was mainly a gedankenexperiment, of somehow attaching wot ratings to coin in a permanent way.
asciilifeform: ag3nt_zer0: it wasn't especially viable then. and after adoption as official usg policy in a mildly perverted form, i can't think of who might voluntarily work with such a thing today
mod6: well, at least `objdump -T bitcoind` shows: objdump: bitcoind-woNoShared: not a dynamic object \ DYNAMIC SYMBOL TABLE: \ no symbols
asciilifeform: ag3nt_zer0: the 'atomic bomb' is - now, as when i wrote the piece- -- the mega-holdings under a sole key, which never move.
decimation: they know a huge chunk of their business comes from rich folks with costco amex cards
decimation: re: costco amex < yeah I posted about this awhile ago. turns out amex didn't want to 'make a deal' to keep costco, and instead steer their business toward servicing poor folks at walmart
BingoBoingo: <mats> dunno, i see plenty of lumpens coming in for rx and alcohol << Rules for this happen on a state-by-state basis. Normally the "shame" keeps all but saviest lumps out
asciilifeform: ag3nt_zer0: i don't recall mircea_popescu ever devoting a whole article to specifically that one. his position, iirc, is 'satoshi lost the keys' ☟︎
asciilifeform: i can't think of a reason to suspect that this was ever public, but doesn't hurt to look.
mats: i'm looking for a pdb to 'vwififlt.sys', for an intel wifi card i believe
mats: asciilifeform: is there a repository on the internets somewhere for windows symbol files (not Windows Symbol Server)?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It's a miracle of fiat makingall sorts of distinctions where same accounts use many different payment network messes
mats: that sounds dicey. wouldn't want to input a PIN at their POS
mod6: so i've got the two binaries recompiled, not stripped. not exactly sure what i'm looking for in here. doing a diff with objdump.
mats: never seen one like that. but i have been tempted to get a 'costco amex', the rates are good and amex has historically had great customer service
mircea_popescu: the romania version requires you to have a corp registered
asciilifeform: mats: the one i went to had a bouncer.
