mircea_popescu: this'd be an important
theoretical point, incidentally, showing domain exception.
tis not currently known.
mircea_popescu: on
the other side, i don't know
there's anything wot doesn't apply
to.
mircea_popescu: yes, but proxying "girls whose
tits i enjoy" into "life partner" is how people harvest
the bitter fruit.
mircea_popescu: "someone in wot" is not meaningful in
that sense. who's in ~YOUR~ wot ?
mircea_popescu: for many small projects people prefer
to write, because it's easier
to write
than read code.
mircea_popescu: there's no way out of
this. if you don't write, you have
to read, such as
the
thing you linked.
mircea_popescu: ok so, all you need is a chunk of random data, which fg provides. you can hash
that into a privkey and address.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-13 22:37 asciilifeform: end result is
to be a vaguely msdos-like
thing
that understands how
to configure x64 page
table, put/get blocks of disk, and speak over rs232 port. and on
top of
this, a self-building gnat.
mircea_popescu: moreover, if anyone
today depends on
their linux not being vulnerable
to LPE,
they're ducked in
the ducking heaf!
mircea_popescu: you can't
turn
terse explanations of
the problem into lengthy discussions of implications
taylored for idiots, what is
this, black chix coding now ?
mircea_popescu: red hat OPTED
to be shitheads. like koch usually does.
mircea_popescu: the description is plain and was published
two years ago. davidson fixed,
torvalds commited within an hour.
their job is done.
danielpbarron: rats, i seem
to only have mediums and XL with me, XL ok?
jhvh1: danielpbarron:
The operation succeeded.
danielpbarron: !~later
tell cruciform kk, btw what size shirt would you like?
diana_coman: sure, nothing wrong with
that in itself; still for FG as it is and given "it's underpriced anyway" ...surprising;
that's it, all of it
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, i might consider asking if
there's any cheaper
than fiddy bux floating around
diana_coman: mircea_popescu,
there was no question re being legitimate
mircea_popescu: in any case
the amd cpu i bought was underpriced both at list price and at 2nd hand price. cuz i sure as fuck ain'\t making one in my laundry room out of lint and wall shavings for less
than a few hundred.
mircea_popescu: as it happens in
the case of FG afaik aftermarket is actually more expensive
than list price, ie it's more like collected art
than used cars, but
to find
that out you gotta ask, and
the question sounds exactly like "any discount rembrandts around ?"
mircea_popescu: legitimate question. you all look on amazon.
there's such a
thing as a car aftermarket. what of it.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-26 14:11 diana_coman is genuinely rather puzzled on
this one
jhvh1: cruciform:

mircea_popescu: saying something can't be economically engaged in is a derivate of wovon, it's like babbage saying
the problem of corectness can't be approached by mechanical means.
mircea_popescu: what stupidities
the courts engage in isn't germane ; nor is anything else. it's not a social matter.
mircea_popescu: and re
the other
thing, nevermind
the practicals.
the point was
that it isn't an economic activity.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform chick wanted
to live by
the park or whatever homemaker achievement. a girlscout captive in a 25yo woman's body, still
trying
to get
the right badges in her sophisticated culturedness.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-26 06:57 mircea_popescu: do you understand why computers and software are extempt from
the general consumer protections ?
a111: Logged on 2017-09-26 06:58 mircea_popescu: if on
the other hand you elaine ou do
terrible software work,
that is EVERY SINGLE CUSTOMER.
there is no way a company can pay up.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-26 05:10 mircea_popescu: check out
the dumb broad, she imagines moneymaking scales, rich dude is going
to get into
the same arrangements with her as rando highschool boyfriend would.
diana_coman: a 2nd hand one cheaper; fine
to do it, sure, just ...surprising
diana_coman: cruciform, for one
thing man at
till is not producer - while I don't give "man at
till" extra for
the product itself (I might give him for
the service if warranted, what), I might even want
to give producer more if I consider what he does
to be a great
thing; payment is support at
the end of
the day; anyway keeping with your example
the
thing would be: man at
till says it'll be $10, do you ask around in
the shop if anyone sells
a111: Logged on 2017-09-26 04:41 elaineo: cuz i spent a dozen years
thinking
that
that would be my ultimate achievement in life
diana_coman: cruciform, if you don't mind for my curiosity: does
the difference actually matter or above what
threshold does it matter?
diana_coman: by asciilifeform's calc earlier
that would be $15 saved
jhvh1: danielpbarron:
The operation succeeded.
diana_coman: asciilifeform, by now I suspect it's more a
thing on
the lines of "gotta have cheapest price possible or else sucker"
diana_coman: cruciform, ah, so
this is about "maybe
there is somewhere a deal and I pay 1 dime less?
diana_coman: what puzzles is a. why would someone buy it from nsa
to
then sell it cheaper (admittedly it is possible
though, anything is possible) b. if it's underpriced how is it worth it
to spend *time* in order
to get somehow possibly (not even surely) a slightly cheaper price
☟︎ diana_coman: I don't have anything against others doing whatever, obv, just sort of ...not making sense
to me
diana_coman: well, it's not whatever really; as far as I know
there is only one maker of FG; and moreover, if I
think
the "widget" is underpriced
then no, I don't waste
time running around
to ask maybe it's even more underpriced sort of
thing
diana_coman: cruciform, I don't get it either: if you
think NSA price is low anyway,
then why are you looking for some other place
to buy it for even less?
