mircea_popescu: the similarities are overpowering. both groups are grossly acultural, clinging to ridiculously simplified worldviews and models of thought, and pretending to
a legitimacy and importance that is both absent in the field and justified ideally and historically only.
mircea_popescu: one should really stop and think for
a moment if he notices that the opposing players eschew "opportunities" he himself wouldn't.
mircea_popescu: state's in just as bad
a shape as syria/ukraina/etc ever were.
jurov: i am wearing electronics on my ears all day, so i've got
a tollerance. but saw nothing appealing so far
trinque: it will be
a very long time before I implant electronics in my body, if ever
mircea_popescu: anyway, i see
a point to actually signifying tattoos, those queen of spades ankle stuff, or the russian cat or whatever.
mircea_popescu: everyone's happy : the plebs for
a, the corp because b), as quarters weren't evenworth stealing
mircea_popescu: don't come to me with
a model that requires turning wizards into coke machines. there's no power to do so and the effort would be overall -ev anwyay
mircea_popescu: the usg did NOT survive eating the coin merely
a few times.
mircea_popescu: the machine has
a horrible reputation, and only survives in its abjection
mircea_popescu: but when i tried that you said "it is
a mistake to ask"
mircea_popescu: and the past few years have taught me
a whole lot about the value and complexity of maintaining impeccability.
mircea_popescu: why would magical dragon risk his magic to get involved in
a system that may well tarnish it for no reason ?
mircea_popescu: the mistake is not to ask for it, the mistake is to contemplate
a system that requires the question answered.
mircea_popescu: how are you going to resolve dispute between party
a which claims it ate its key and party b which claims the key was junk ?
mircea_popescu: then again... the past 50 years would look
a lot different if i were actually right.
mircea_popescu: is there any particular reason the amateur that's not in
a kool dude wot now will manage to get in the kool dude wot of the proposed market ?
mircea_popescu:
a) monkey b) possesses the key c) will let go IF - c1. not painful c2. food and shelter.
mircea_popescu: what you said is
a metaphor for womanhood, not the other way around.
mircea_popescu: in that example
a) why would anyone accept to be paid less than the "cost to fuzz", and b) why would anyone opt to pay more thanb the "cost to fuzz" ?
mircea_popescu: but that some is important and it falsifies
a ~fundamental~ property of markets.
mircea_popescu: they have
a lot of common characteristics, yes, and the people "in" like to joke about it and pretend it's "the same". but... it is not.
mircea_popescu: but the market you propose, like the market which consists of assassins, like the market which consists of whores, is eminently NOT
a market like the market that consists of grain, or ddram chips.
mircea_popescu: the connection i see is that the proposition of this market is about as silly as the proposition of the trivia bot. there are fundamental differences between what
a market is and what an assassination market is.
mircea_popescu had
a complete lotus 1-2-3 and novell netware ~suites~, hundreds of 1.2mb floppies in 50 item boxes, shelves of the shit
mircea_popescu: i had
a batch of 100 out of which 30 died the first write
mircea_popescu: but also very variant. i had one that was good for hundreds of rewrites over
a year
assbot: Logged on 14-06-2015 01:16:01; kakobrekla: meh i recall 'burning'
a game at friends house to ~20 floppies, only to find ~5 not working when arrived home.
assbot: Logged on 13-06-2015 22:18:10; kalki: ok well I just subbed 2 special characters and then generated... it happened really fast... I thought it was supposed to take quite
a bit of time but it appears to have generated in less than 5 seconds...?
mircea_popescu: that aside, adding
a curly bracket at the end or something doesn't hurt anything
assbot: Logged on 13-06-2015 21:59:34; kalki: thanks... ok so in attempting to set up my first gpg account, I am following the guide from contravex... so I am using the 5 dice coupled with the englich passphrase word list. So, I did 10 tosses, got the words, but then after entering, the gpg client tells me it is
a weak pw as it contains no special characters. I read somewhere on Trilema not to change ANYTHING from what I get from the dice toss... so just
HeySteve: would be ideal if
a bot could be modded to hold and award the prize money
HeySteve: hello. kakobrekla, I wanted to speak to you about
a trivia bot
kakobrekla: but i dont have
a cdrom in any computer either
kakobrekla: meh i recall 'burning'
a game at friends house to ~20 floppies, only to find ~5 not working when arrived home.

a 8~20s delay
Naphex: fed through
a javascript player
Naphex: cazalla: no flash, stream is rtmp. needs flash for
a codec

a singularity researcher and cybereconomist most well-known for his thought leadership into digital economies such as bitcoin... You can find him in Toronto, apathetic towards voting while hunting banksters for spare organs."
☝︎ ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> how many three-legged tables, chairs ? << i for one would rather have three-legged furniture: 3 points define
a plane; any more and you have an overconstrained and rocking system
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell bingoboingo that 'reddit outrage' piece is impossible to read dude. breaking start-up/startup into two words might give you two s.qntr shares but it makes shit unreadable and frankly
a bit annoying. tighten it up, smarten it up, eh.
punkman: "when I was at Visa, I was leading an R&D group on Machine Learning that was experimenting with Hadoop for near real-time analytics of purchases. anyway we worked
a year on that thing, and it was awesome, but one day we get invited by another group at Visa who want to show us something ‘amazing'."
pete_dushenski: it's more of
a sense of things to come,
a feeling of how valhalla might look

kalki: ok well I just subbed 2 special characters and then generated... it happened really fast... I thought it was supposed to take quite
a bit of time but it appears to have generated in less than 5 seconds...?
☟︎ pete_dushenski: not that you can't add
a few symbols or make the second-last letter of every diceware word
a capital if you so desire
jurov: if you're
a beginner, no use to complicates tuff by using multiple keys
kalki: funkenstein, the wiki says for WOT that I should generate
a gpg if I dont already have one... so do folks typically use just one key? or is it smart to have
a seperate one for WOT distinct from communication etc?
funkenstein_: i don't mac, but methinks you can add
a couple special chars without losing entropy
kalki: also, I am noticing that when I log in to #bitcoin-assets, just before it transports me to the room, it says at the bottom of the screen that this nickname is already taken and that I should verify ownership or something... I assume this means that I need to find
a new nickname and that it is not talking about me just because I have been using it
a couple months here..

☟︎ jurov: well, something something hindsight. it was relatively luxurious, got it from
a friend who cared for it, and it did work fine for 2 years.
mod6 wonders off to create
a guide
mod6: well, and that thing was
a convert too.. so, obv less weight there.
mod6: had
a chev 305 in it. ran pretty nice.
mod6: yah srsly. it was
a 9 passenger vehicle.
trinque: had
a lot of fun in that car though, got it at 16
mod6: i just can't figure it out why someone would want to pay $300/mo for 6-7 years on
a car loan for something "new" or "reasonable"
