danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-06-2015#1174822 << that was me and juliatourianski_ at the "bitcoin free-roll" poker tourny at porcfest. We made it to the final table; she busted out on the bubble and I busted out right after that. Sold my 0.3 prize on the spot for 75 dollars (since USD is not so ironically the most liquid asset, even at a libertarian festival) ☝︎
trinque: did exactly what I wanted; sane defaults; a++++
trinque: also keeping a running archive of my /usr/portage/distfiles
trinque: has a bunch of shit regarding those archive sites in it
punkman: wget can recurse a bit
trinque: nah a command line thinger I can toss a url or regexes at and have it duplicate the site locally
trinque: anybody recommend a decent web crawler/archiver? ☟︎
asciilifeform: afaik that's a new record.
shinohai: I have everything except a working static build of bitcoind
mircea_popescu: if it makes you feel; any better, this is a traditional problem of teaching as practiced since that bismarck's invention of the "school"
assbot: Logged on 09-07-2015 15:24:06; kakobrekla: i have a soldering station, but no pogos.
mircea_popescu: you went to school, learned a trade, now youy're gonna aplly it.
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu: the principal said that I have a choice... but it was just a sidelined statement really
ag3nt_zer0: but I won't say anything till I make my money to travel the world next year... then when I quit I will mention that they should look into their shit a little more
assbot: Logged on 09-07-2015 14:54:36; jurov: if it is not specific, how it can be a cause?
ag3nt_zer0: and trinque, this is a PARENT PARTICIPATION school... and none of these motherfuckers seem to know that their entire discipline system was created by this jack ass
ag3nt_zer0: and it turns out the entire thing was created by a guy who commited suicide in a hotel room after he was accused of molesting kids
mircea_popescu: sort-of like the "here's gavin's head on a plate, fuckwits. now what ?"
assbot: Logged on 09-07-2015 14:50:35; asciilifeform: we launch the pogos, and suddenly 'ntp is obsolete, dontchaknow,' here is a new replacement by poettering, 85% consensus1111!!!1111!!! within weeks, plug pulled on ntp servers
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-07-2015#1194852 << this would be a massive win situation ☝︎
ag3nt_zer0: so i resisted for a while, then finally looked it up thinkning "ok, I'll have a good go at it and backburner my cynicism"
ag3nt_zer0: and also "we use a program called "positive discipline"....
ag3nt_zer0: for instance, I just got a job teaching music at a school 2 days a week... so it's my own classroom. however, I have already been told that "we don't ever raise our voices here"... "we all go by our first names"... etc all this hippy slop
asciilifeform: best hangout is to expose a genuine secret. just one that still 'works' fine after exposed.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform two words from a pile of paper you yourself regard as disinfo ?
asciilifeform: in related newz, i sometimes go to a 'dry cleaner' shop. their price, unchanged for a decade+, has gone up 50%. it was actually part of the chain's name, and they have to put garbage bags over the neon signs...
mircea_popescu: "bandwidth just comes from whining to dad, money has nothing to do with it. why should i get a summere job ??!?!?!"
mircea_popescu: "You can't solve a problem of lack of bandwidth by higher fees for access. A system that is too bandwidth limited to serve it's users isn't fixed by making the service more expensive."
mircea_popescu: they should have a vote!
assbot: Logged on 08-07-2015 21:17:35; ascii_field: one telling mark of a tard is that he is unwilling to consider that market's job is not only to supply folks with things, but to REFUSE to supply them
trinque: the idea that a bunch of kids can overrule you is insane, aside from a fantasy
ag3nt_zer0: trinque: yes but these ridiculously reductionist tolerance ideas put into the heads of idiots just amounts to, as MP says something about in a blurb about professionalism on trilema, amateurs playing the racist card or what not... any number of limp-dicked excuses and diversions from what should be the teacher's right to maintain a fucking orderly environment
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-07-2015#1194820 << the reason he doesn't have the ~2 trillion required is EXACTLY that he would do this with it. and it's a stupid idea and it shouldt be done. in the general case, money works to limit the power of influencing the course of events people have, and gathers itself in the hands of those who ~SHOULD~ have most to say. ☝︎
asciilifeform: mr b is probably closest thing southern europe has to a 'lizard'
assbot: Logged on 09-07-2015 09:58:31; punkman: "Berlusconi, 78, will not have to serve the sentence as the statute of limitations expires later this year, well before a final ruling will have been reached on appeal."
assbot: Logged on 09-07-2015 08:41:10; jurov: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-07-2015#1194359 so there should be plenty examples of usg diddling a traffic on the backbone, could you please post one?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i think he plays a role similar to what hanbot once did on tardstalk
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: doubt it. he's switched 'discuses' a couplea times in the past few yrs, it looks like
mircea_popescu: ag3nt_zer0 let's put it this way : you couldn't as a middle class woman marry some douche who didn't speak multiple languages. because your parents wouldn't let you.
asciilifeform: why does b-a search have to not be grep ?

mircea_popescu: nah, doesn't reduce to that. central europe used to be run by a multicultural empire.
ag3nt_zer0: I am a fan of apple because I live in silly valley
mircea_popescu: fwif i'm a multiculturalism fan.
ag3nt_zer0: trinque: yeah I suppose... unless you have to sit through a multiculturalism focused education program in humboldt county run by marxism-hypnotized dykes... then noticing fruits of their labor in Silly Valley public ed... then start thinking warrior again
mircea_popescu: but experimentally, it seems to be a transient phase
mike_c: got a couple of good blog posts coming up though that are half way done.
trinque: the idea of a "warrior" seems foreign these days, I guess
mircea_popescu: and generally, the world will be broadly a better place once the colonies get their voice turned down to the 1.6-2.2 they deserve.
ag3nt_zer0: trinque: yeah, natural in a way... but the vibrant colors, the recreations, them watching the takes and commenting... the translations... fucking crazy
trinque: I figure I live a pretty padded life not knowing what that's like
funkenstein_: wait violence and killing in movies? what a novel idea
trinque: having them reenact the events was a little strange, but what I was struck with was the matter-of-fact attitude they had towards the events, mostly
mircea_popescu: that film or whatever it is, does it have a script or some such textual equivalent ?
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu: a text? don't understand
mircea_popescu: i had no idea just how iconoclastic i actually am, before b-a
mircea_popescu: ag3nt_zer0 can it be a text ?
asciilifeform recalls the ordeal of convincing mircea_popescu that al schwartz isn't a 'timecube'
asciilifeform: funkenstein_: he was all over sci.* a decade+ ago
funkenstein_: i think i saw him on sci.physics.relativity a decade ago
asciilifeform: somebody oughta send him a link with b-a search string of his name, or whatnot
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: he's a compulsive ant-stomper. went where the enviro-whiners congregate
mircea_popescu: yeah somebody with still a reddit acct plox ask scwhartz to come over.
decimation: 'cause a 3231 costs like $4.50 from digikey in qty 1000
decimation: any case where you have a cheap sensor that you 'launch'
assbot: Women In Cages on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1RmuYQ9 )
mircea_popescu: sexploitation = a movie
mircea_popescu visited one such thing, in costa rica. it is the closest i ever got to a medieval hospital.
mircea_popescu: ever seen the sexploitations in question ? women on cots, 500 to a hall, separated by hanging sheets ?
asciilifeform: (twist: rewrite orwell's '1984' where 'minilove' is actually a dour and heavily bureaucratized network of official brothels.)
assbot: Squares do Morals. A Porno. on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1Toj2L7 )
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2013/squares-do-morals-a-porno/#footnote_9_49613
assbot: 1 results for 'riemann' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=riemann
asciilifeform: a maths prof informed me that until recently, it was customary to answer their letters. but not any more.
mircea_popescu: a superlative form of hermeneutics if you wish. certainly decent training exercise for the more advanced students.
mircea_popescu: for my curiosity, how'd such a roman proof look like ?
mircea_popescu: had a good run, but it did run its course.
asciilifeform: it is actually a very rare thing
asciilifeform: hence 'end of a class'
asciilifeform: highest compliment paul e. could give a colleague was to say 'this is from The Book'
asciilifeform: he liked to say that god had a book, containing the best possible proof of each theorem
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: didja know that paul erdos had a story about these ?
mircea_popescu: it is smart enough to be the END of a class.
asciilifeform: there very much ~is~ such a thing as 'stupid and effective'
funkenstein_: it's not a question of "don't worry" .. actually, we should be worried
mircea_popescu: it is drastically unwise to imagine a certificate of intelligence as a sort of consolation prize.
mircea_popescu: iirc the vikings did a little recuntissance
asciilifeform: 8k years was 'a little bit' ?
mircea_popescu: for... a little bit.
mircea_popescu: actually more floor space = better for a short interval at the place they're now.
mircea_popescu: they don't understand that if you sell for yourself, and not to put in a desktop, you have diff engineering constraints
mircea_popescu: the packing thing is a result of the consumer electronics market
asciilifeform: there is a whole array of strange things that miner builders do, which puzzle me greatly
mircea_popescu: what else has first mover advantage ? making a bitcoin foundation ?
asciilifeform: life of miner is a life of a soldier, disposable, as mircea_popescu reminded us last night
mircea_popescu: shitty thing to build a life of.
asciilifeform: (that the hidden boojum would not stay hidden, is a no-brainer. idea would be to exploit the first-mover advantage, naturally)
mircea_popescu: i am not unaware of this possibility, yet i apparently discounted it, preferring a divergent approach. maybe i'm just that dumb.
