mats: imagine being
a chinese male with no prospects
mats: chinese females are predictably holding out longer and raising their standards, but thats still
a lot of extinct lines
☟︎ mats: usg has the next best thing to
a naval base in south china sea
mircea_popescu: next us president whoever is gonna be is going to discover
a sudden fondness for russia and "move past previous difficulties", and the transition's complete : washington is now
a sort of germany, in charge of
a large rust bucket that doesn't much care for it.
mircea_popescu: no usable jet, not like carriers would be usable even if they had
a jet, no money to back it all up with anyway even if they had
a miracle cure for rocketry, and no brains to work the entire thing even if money were somehow to be found, as it's always found when there's brains involved.
assbot: Australia and China sign 'history making' free trade agreement after
a decade of negotiations - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) ... (
http://bit.ly/1GdPUx4 )
cazalla: well au signed
a free trade agreement with choina today.. PM thinks we should be happy we get cheap shit from china even cheaper now or something
mircea_popescu: "The only great material difference between Gawker's lines on the fappening and their publication of Bollea's tape is that while photos during the fappening were released in
a decentralized manner, Gawker got to publish the Hulk Hogan sex tape first. "
mircea_popescu: the others didn't have the gumption tro spend
a coupla years as paris hilton's foot slaves
decimation: mircea_popescu: 'has physical consequences' seems like
a solid criteria, not 'no true scotsman'
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Sure, but you have to consider Denton only does Bezzel, Blow Jobs, and Loss leading social engineering. From what I understand he hit his peak wealth before Gawker got close to popular. Much like i hit peak fitness
a decade ago befor I had internet connected terminal at "werk"
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> or similar 'leak' with unambiguous physical consequences. << the "unambiguous" in there is
a no true scotsman. you know for
a fact that leaks to date have had physical consequences of the worst kind for the twerps in question, and you know they know, and you can observe them act in consequence of that knowledge. they digested the fact they are informationally defeated.
Vexual:
a popular process these days no?
decimation: asciilifeform: who are these contributors who were afraid of contributing to
a gnu (instead of werner) copyright?
Duffer1: hi guys :) sorry gotta run, afk
a bit
BingoBoingo: cazalla: Nah, walmart had marked down an older model bulb to clearance, scooped
a bunch up. Prolly should have checked for network connectivity and miners
cazalla: BingoBoingo, you accepting LED bitcoin mining gifts from bitfury or something? should disclose such
a thing eh?

ag3nt_zer0: trinque: ok sounds good... maybe I am looking at the "keys" wrong... since pgp is called the bitcoin-standard in encrypted communications, I just assumed it would have
a public key/private key situation similar to BTC and that this would be how to encrypt and decrypt
trinque: encrypt and decrypt
a textfile using your own key
ag3nt_zer0: trinque: maybe I'll be back in
a year if I get
a clue haha
trinque: ag3nt_zer0: no, that is
a unique identifier for your public key
felipelalli: welcome DanielBTC! He's
a personal friend, same city as mine.
DanielBTC: I new here in this channel I will read
a little the wiki =)
BingoBoingo: It has tremendous importance in the same way the white squared Bishop does on
a chess board.
BingoBoingo: It is seriously not
a secret at all that Nick Denton sucks cocks. That would literally be the opposite of news.
trinque: ^ points to
a serious decline if you ask me
assbot: Logged on 16-06-2015 23:52:10; mircea_popescu: * ascii_field still not convinced that this is any kind of actual defeat for usg << and if i serve it cooked you still wouldn't be. it's like
a religion with you :D
BingoBoingo: The short of the drama around the tape is Hogan thought he was doing
a service by satisfying this guy's wife. The cuckold and his wife violated Hogan's trust by videotaping this charitable act.
cazalla: hulk need money? not sure why he'd be so butthurt, not like it was
a gay sex tape or something
BingoBoingo: mats: Well, if you are going to get
a bull to cuck your wife, but you don't want black in your wife... limits your options...
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: 9's hundred million? But yeah couple mill per year. Even the first years Gawker cost
a few million
a year when it was one hired girl and the celebrity stalker because "viral" cost millions paid to Newsweek and other dead trees to get any attention at all.
mircea_popescu: the entire budget for the thing's entire existence is
a coupla mil or so. this spercifically discounting all pretense.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> * ascii_field still not convinced that this is any kind of actual defeat for usg << and if i serve it cooked you still wouldn't be. it's like
a religion with you :D << USG atm is in its "Opium Wars" phase except it is both Britain and China.

☟︎ BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Anyways from what I understand Nick Denton's peak wealth was right around 8-9 figure sum of dollars and he sunk nearly all of it on Gawker Media liberalizing everything. This is likely
a move to justify outside investors covering his loss and letting USG propaganda outlet pass to other hands.
mircea_popescu: not this world, but
a world somewhere sometime. let's pretend it was, at any rate.
BingoBoingo: Also, the "Love Sponge" is
a radio personality and not
a fellow wrassler
mircea_popescu: is that some wrestler dude from back when i still did teenagers one at
a time ?!
cazalla: BingoBoingo, turned an
a to an an but other than that, gg
BingoBoingo: felipelalli: I may also be
a flawed judge of films though.
BingoBoingo: It takes just
a few minutes of time to get over the gut reaction that the dinosaurs should look better, but the practical effects in the first movie were so good and inflation adjusted this one had
a much smaller budget.
cazalla: might go and see it in
a few weeks time, not too fussed on sitting through 30 minutes of commercials with
a bunch of louts
punkman: guess he does this
a lot if he made up
a blockhain.info clone. gotta wonder who actually fell for it
ascii_field: and the agent of
a particular compromise is the sysadmin who installed winblows, and only distantly and secondarily anybody else.
ascii_field: other thing is, only 'positive' items are even theoretically possible to authenticate. that is, if you find
a leak purporting to be from the directorate-of-cracking-rsa, stating that 'sixteen quintillion bezzlars and still no result,' this could be disinfo. whereas 'here's how to factor $maxint on
a pocket calculator' is testable.
trinque: ascii_field: I think you're right that the most critical systems are held to
a *much* higher standard than this
trinque: so which is it... is cyber-sekurity important, or does encryption "lead us to
a dark place"
trinque: I'm sure the chinese would rather quietly blackmail people for
a while
ascii_field: 'After upgrading chromium to 43, I noticed that when it is running and immediately after the machine is on-line it silently starts downloading "Chrome Hotword Shared Module" extension, which contains
a binary without source code. There seems no opt-out config.'
BingoBoingo: Also switched
a big chunk of domicile's lighting to LED today so need liquor later.
ben_vulpes: i've seen
a bit more of the same lately.
BingoBoingo: "If
a pet hedgehog appears to be gaining too much weight, it is important that the hedgehog’s caretaker cut back on high fat foods and increase exercise. Hedgehogs vary in size so there is no "goal weight" for
a hedgehog, but if they can no longer roll completely into
a ball it is
a pretty clear sign of obesity" << hedgehogs can become hedge hamplanets too.
BingoBoingo: All day today there has been
a rather spectacular box turtle nomming on the slugs in the front flowerbeds, hope the little dude settles down there for
a bit
ascii_field: if you own so much as
a 1970s-era analyzer, it'll do
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: or logic analyzer (unlike the affair i described last week, this doesn't need
a fast one)
ben_vulpes: what hardware an i use to capture that, though? i'm blocked on true serial capture until i procure
a device that has true serial in
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: no you don't. it's
a logic-level out!
ben_vulpes: ascii_field: need
a digital-analog capture story
trinque: ben_vulpes: yeah and django has
a sweet conference!
cazalla:
http://www.digitaljournal.com/pr/2586559 "On average, Bitcoinist has 350,000+ unique visitors
a month with 550,000 page views, and this is increasing every month." it's
a press release mind you.. it's growing so much they're discounting their ad spots!
trinque: mike_c: anything that might be duplicated between two things accessing the db could be
a view in the db instead
kakobrekla: iirc they had
a single process with
a half
a second sleep each time for engine
mike_c: gernika says their trading engine was written in node.js as of
a couple years ago..
mike_c: or you have an api that handles everything they have to talk to each other, which also seems like
a pain.
mike_c: but you still must have
a lot of data sharing. two software stacks that hit the same database? seems problematic to manage
mike_c: i feel like i have
a problem similar to theirs.. I've got
a transaction engine running in c#, but websites built in python.

a dom ?!

☟︎ Azelphur: there has been some guy on
a mission impersonating me on OTC recently, must be the same fellow.

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-06-2015#1165022 <<< two of those adverts sport "made in australia" (bonds and jockey).. there was
a bonds factory not far from where i grew up and my mother would take us in there now and again to buy factory seconds as it was cheaper.. in they end they closed up shop and moved to china
☝︎ lobbes: BingoBoingo: shame due to her becoming
a walking corpse
assbot: Logged on 16-06-2015 14:18:50; pete_dushenski: and i'll always have
a giant boner for lindsay lohan
