thestringpuller: i have an amazing product vision tho
ben_vulpes: i'll handle the rest.
mike_c: yeah, I read up a bit. I like it.
dignork: danielpbarron: well, libertarians do not have any other way of influence I suspect.
dignork: ascii_field: yep, there was a discussion on bitflip, but this one is too real, I wonder when active Xen exploit will drive DDR out of cloud business.
mike_c: now that I do, it appears nobody. I was the last one who didn't know.
ascii_field: (for readers of my site: iirc i referred to bitcoin as 'mechanized hawala' in my first article on the subject)
mike_c: well i guess that's what i am learning about today.
ascii_field: mike_c: hawala is as famous as anything gets, i thought
mike_c: and how the hell did you know what a hawala was? i first saw that word today.
mike_c: to be clear, i was not recommending that thing. just came across it today and thought I'd share the lulz.
mike_c: heh. i can't argue with that.
mike_c: i don't think that is usg honeypot. just misguided VC chumpatron. ☟︎
ascii_field: as usual, the virtues of avoiding 'modern' consumer-grade (i.e. non-ECC memory, in this case) products is on display here
danielpbarron: she admitted that I was right, but decided that it was either a bug, or an attempt to keep from "offending" christians
danielpbarron: I interacted with Jillian C. York in January 2012 about how twitter was filtering tweets about Jesus from the "top tweet" search (saw her name in that article about USG funded "internet privacy") >> https://twitter.com/danielpbarron/statuses/155721935785959424
scoopbot: New post on Trilema by Mircea Popescu: http://trilema.com/2015/so-i-found-the-libertard-motherlode/
Vexual: i reckon willie nelson might have an edge in a poker game
cazalla: i dunno, buterin's head is worse than that
Vexual: i prefer seals, but gone
ben_vulpes: i don't have much choice in the long run.
ben_vulpes: but i'm pretty sure with the state of modern consumer'pute'
ben_vulpes: i won't do it mindlessly, and i won't go quietly into that dark night.
ben_vulpes: instead of doing whatever's imposed upon me by the world, i mean.
ben_vulpes: what, though, should i be doing instead?
decimation: I fault all those in the future (outside google) who are going to mindlessly adopt
decimation: I don't blame the folks at google for trying to improve specific hardware products
decimation: I wonder if they have an issue with the MIT license
ben_vulpes: i just learned how it works
decimation: thestringpuller: sorry, apparently I haven't used up my allotment yet :(
mircea_popescu: i guess voice vs exit works here too huh.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: I wish I had gone to school in Romania.
thestringpuller: http://i.imgur.com/BTatL71.jpg << this is good
decimation: but the 'docent' guy wasn't terribly familiar with the issues I gather
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah that was kinda the answer I was expecting to get
asciilifeform: they pound out the frame using hammer press machines... I asked 'why don't you just use a cnc mill to shape the parts' << try to picture what the cost of -milling- a smooth object the size of a wing might be.
PeterL: mircea_popescu:pete_dushenski they claimed circle defrauded them, threatened to sue. never sued, disappeared. << was Dwolla, I don't think Circle was a thing yet then, but same idea
asciilifeform: cruise ships << i am still at an utter loss what the appeal of cruise ship is
asciilifeform: a guy had to have relatiuons with mechanics << i do (and my whole family). fella's from argentina, incidentally.
Pierre_Rochard: I highly recommend it, I don’t doubt you’ll find the bourgeoisie vs aristocracy commentary amusing, and christian clavier is hysterical
mircea_popescu: https://i.imgur.com/sPNsgpt.jpg << there we go.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i have the pic archived.
mircea_popescu: lol looking for it i stumbled on http://trilema.com/2013/like-a-baws/
pete_dushenski: at least that's what i associate with tradehill
pete_dushenski: he's known merely as "mr. i know everything there is to know about bitcoin" henceforth and forever more.
pete_dushenski: i wanna say they're unrelated
mircea_popescu: is Nick Spanos the figurehead for the kenna scammer or am i confused ?
pete_dushenski: myea i'm enjoying the same.
pete_dushenski: no one i talk to irl would dare be so derpy to my face.
pete_dushenski: what, i live a sheltered existence.
pete_dushenski: i sweat the young attractive men do better on those ships
mircea_popescu: from what i hear, buncha old derps.
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=slay | slay. to mercilessly fuck, bone and or screw a shady/skanky girl. 1) I would definately slay that chick! 2) I slayed the fuck out of that hoocker last night! 3) Slay that ...
mircea_popescu: i think so yea
decimation: mircea_popescu: the one I was on was crewed mostly by filipinos. I think the different cruise lines 'specialize' in different 'third world' recruitment
pete_dushenski: i've met one or two romanian dudes working on cruises, ex-gynmast or w/e cum 'fitness trainers'
pete_dushenski: although jeez, after ditching facebook and a smartphone, i seem to be moving in that direction.
pete_dushenski: well, not much i can do about that, is there.
mircea_popescu: i guess mike gets it at 275, there being no average o.O
pete_dushenski: I SAID I HAVE A WEDDING THAT WEEKEND !
mircea_popescu: <decimation> I think there might be some of that, but I also doubt that britian's 'good men' could get much done trapped in the crazy monkey house of a modern us bureaucracy << no, but they wouldn't be, see ? that's the very definition. "good men" is, obama comes and derps, they point and laugh, obama calls the national guard, they shoot it dead.
pete_dushenski: i went on a cruise of se asia in 2002 when the post-9/11 deals made it... affordable.
decimation: yeah I did that once, the scant few hours at port makes it difficult to see anything other than the usual tourist garbage
pete_dushenski: if i'm going to do that to myself, i'll hop on a cruise ship
decimation: pete_dushenski: I presume you aren't going to one of those 'all-inclusive' resorts populated by the usian middle class?
pete_dushenski: i enjoyed the ones you gents sent for oz :D
mircea_popescu: actually i took a break.
pete_dushenski: sure, i'm not saying it's entirely the fault of the men in the context of their work, but it is their fault in the context of the systems of governance they support
decimation: I think there might be some of that, but I also doubt that britian's 'good men' could get much done trapped in the crazy monkey house of a modern us bureaucracy
decimation: pete_dushenski: yeah that's why I put the scare quotes :)
pete_dushenski: fluffypony lol which is stocked by your better half, i imagine ?
ben_vulpes: <decimation> I asked 'why don't you just use a cnc mill to shape the parts'. the answer: 1.) they apparently don't 'do' computers and 2.) the aircraft were all half-ass made to the blueprints anyway, often with 'by hand' adjustments << uh yeah that's how hand machining worked
decimation: I asked 'why don't you just use a cnc mill to shape the parts'. the answer: 1.) they apparently don't 'do' computers and 2.) the aircraft were all half-ass made to the blueprints anyway, often with 'by hand' adjustments
decimation: I recently toured a 'restoration' shop where they rebuild wrecks from wwii
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: it's a surprisingly common 'old man hobby' where i live
decimation: heh there were a few I guess
pete_dushenski: ooo i want to say yes but can't recall exactly!
pete_dushenski: i have cold hand luke on the schedule for today.
mircea_popescu: ima review it now. apparently i haven't.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu i'm guessing that's 'daddy' and not 'daniel' ;)
mircea_popescu: i like that he's doing at least one a day.
cazalla: prolly because i included a link
pete_dushenski: cazalla not only did i not realise that, but your comment was definitely caught up on the spamhole so thx for the heads up !
decimation: http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2015/02/michael_munger_1.html < "Guest: And that--I do want to keep defending Buchanan. What Buchanan's worried about is a monolithic Leviathan. Because he thought, once you have a state, it will just eat all of the other choices. It will pull all of them inside, like a sort of great vortex. All of the choices will become public because that's the way that states work. That's the logic, is to expand.
mircea_popescu: the daily wtf comes to us from eliza i. http://trilema.com/2014/the-womans-job/#comment-112565
ben_vulpes: i don't know about that. generally working with any given individual for a few months is enough to suss out their competence.
decimation: I suppose that part of the problem really is that humans need a few more generations to sort out how to have a 'status hierarchy' for programmers
ben_vulpes: decimation: all i know is how to google shit.
ben_vulpes: thestringpuller: "OMG I can make money programming compooters, i'd better jump on the CS bandwagon" << you tell me
thestringpuller: it's the first cad software I used so I guess it's kinda "mainstream" now
ben_vulpes: i still think CS is the worst way to make money programmering.
thestringpuller: "OMG I can make money programming compooters, i'd better jump on the CS bandwagon"
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i think brainfuck was the only thing that fits that criteria during my undergrad at least
thestringpuller: i don't think the undergrads are smart enough to implement lisp
ben_vulpes: http://www.openscad.org << the cad program i mistook for freecad in a several months old thread.
ben_vulpes: i am indeed unfamiliar with it.
ben_vulpes: http://www.afralisp.net/index.php << decimation i think was looking for CAD scripting?
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: i must confess that the most likely reason its bell has never rung is that i haven't the resources to actually process the 5 mil. or so donated pubkeys sitting here on local disk
thestringpuller: I will be interested in seeing what happens when you throw a key generator from here into the mix
asciilifeform: that's the only use case i can really think of for this
