mircea_popescu: somehow this idea that "privilege = bad" is getting passed around
a certain group of idiots as given gospel.
mircea_popescu: decimation i've noticed that
a good heuristic is, if (grep -c "privilege" > 1) break;
decimation: I was thinking about the quantity of language as I was going through my books today. amazon has an app that lets you scan
a book - even just the cover picture - and it will instantly return the price
assbot: Logged on 01-05-2015 17:50:39; mircea_popescu: in
a "consumer driven" ideas market... the "ideas" will look like the derps.
decimation: " But programming is
a new human endeavour, and the software charlatans gained control of our software-related affairs, and restricted them, before we could discover all possible alternatives – all the ways that human minds can find to create and use software. Software controlled by an elite is the only software we have ever had, so we cannot know what we have lost."
mircea_popescu: that everything can be put into
a tree is
a trivial bit of graph theory.
decimation: "In this book we are concerned with one particular myth – the mechanistic myth; and we are especially concerned with its latest manifestation – the software myth. Mechanism is the belief that everything can be represented as
a hierarchical structure; that is, as
a structure of things within things."
decimation: althought in the case of the 787 I think it lacks hydraulics, so it would take
a fair bit of power to move the electric controls
decimation: re: ac power failure on 787 < actually my understanding is that most jetliners actually have
a crank-out windmill to power basic navigation systems
jurov: if you were in WoT, i'd offer you
a quick loan
Ralph: I'm betting on
a draw. The fix is in, Vegas wants
a rematch.
jurov: it may take
a day or so, they are doing payouts on their leisure
Ralph: It would work, but the betting address is only open for 3 days, so it would be
a bad idea.
assbot: Logged on 02-05-2015 19:11:43; mircea_popescu: cazalla who in the us ~doesn't~ face 20 years in jail, i wish to know. it's what that country is predicated on, by now. "i am
a us citizen and i face twenty years in jail three times before breakfast. i hope they give us marmelade today".
assbot: How Does Alexa Track Traffic – Do They Really Have
a Grasp of Your Traffic? - Ways to Avoid SCAMS Online ... (
http://bit.ly/1GPzy0I )
mircea_popescu: the idea here is that payments clear across
a continent as if they would in the home market.
Pierre_Rochard: williamdunne: one handwave in south america can cause
a hurricane in florida. that’s the theory right?
williamdunne: Also equally lulzy "its like
a ***sql database, but uses the exact opposite of concurrency, has high latency, and low throughput"
williamdunne: "Its like bitcoin, but not scarce, not
a currency, and has centralized permissions"
assbot: Logged on 02-05-2015 18:38:05; williamdunne: Pierre_Rochard: I think you misinterpreted Preston's tweet. He's derping about his Eris Industries blockchain as
a DB idea
mircea_popescu: what pray tell will you figure out, that thing steers like
a battleship.
davout: that's how I read "
a loss of all AC electrical power"
assbot: Logged on 02-05-2015 14:14:00; danielpbarron: "If the four main generator control units (associated with the engine-mounted generators) were powered up at the same time, after 248 days of continuous power, all four GCUs will go into failsafe mode at the same time, resulting in
a loss of all AC electrical power regardless of flight phase." << apparently due to an integer overflow (248 days == 2^31 * 1/100 seconds)
mircea_popescu: cazalla who in the us ~doesn't~ face 20 years in jail, i wish to know. it's what that country is predicated on, by now. "i am
a us citizen and i face twenty years in jail three times before breakfast. i hope they give us marmelade today".
☟︎ mircea_popescu: as
a result, the countless shanonizers are inches away from reproducing shakespeare.
mircea_popescu: the social studies million army may well be useless, but it is not in point of fact idle. the important difference is that while the printing presses of money are run as fast as they can run but by
a central authority, the printing presses of discourse are run in overdrive independently.
trinque: this having
a key for
a given project is kinda neat, sort of trinque DBA deedbot-
williamdunne: Pierre_Rochard: I think you misinterpreted Preston's tweet. He's derping about his Eris Industries blockchain as
a DB idea
☟︎ trinque: leaving deedbot- rates wouldn't be
a bad way to request features or give feedback imo
mircea_popescu: williamdunne you might have to change scoopbot_revived to
a new key then associate the old one to the nerw nic
davout: "i have
a problem and then i fix it and then there's no problem"
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: I don't know for sure, but it happened
a lot before I even started using #b-
a. Wifi connection drops and then I reconnect it and all is good
trinque: williamdunne: check out my friend vhost-'s tenyks, it has
a "feeds" plugin already
williamdunne: Its not, its just on
a wired connection. Eventually I'll cloak though
davout: start
a few virtualized cpanels inside
assbot: Logged on 01-05-2015 19:40:29; ascii_field: search - does not work worth
a damn.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: and note that while it makes sense ot have
a b-
a keyserver (and it's beinbg made), THAT item will do exactly the same curl stuff.
decimation: well, then why have
a problem from pulling
a key off
a turd in the street?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he has
a good point tho, rather than 404, it should attempt to curl the keyservers and gobble.
decimation: mircea_popescu: did you see openbsd 5.7 has
a new
http server that supports cgi
mircea_popescu: mike_c i don't trust the 2.x branch. dunno that there's
a blogpost or anything
mike_c: ;;later tell mats I fixed the bug and added
a better 'user not found' page. thx again.
mike_c: I overheard the other day that there was
a dislike for newer versions of gpg. has anyone written up
a blog post or something about why?
mike_c: alternatively,
a simple 'fingerprint not found' would suffice
mike_c: Ideally? It's
a fingerprint search. So if it misses, I would have it search sks for the fingerprint and show
a page asking if you'd like to add that key.
mike_c: maybe
a very simple "not found" page?
mircea_popescu: must suck to be one of those people, always stuck with
a new word nest like
a god damned cuckoo
mircea_popescu: nude exercise of power, obviously. if fuctard gets you to not say
a word, the reason doesn't matter. what matters is the fact that you're now doing what he's tellin' you to.
mircea_popescu: for the record, saying nigger and racism are about as related as saying synergy and making
a profit.
mike_c: kakobrekla: are the usernames case sensitive? could there be
a KAKObrekla and
a kakobrekla?
ascii_field: chillum 'was
a chemist, but now he is no more; for what he thought was h2o, was h2so4.' or the like.
gribble: Chillum was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 2 weeks, 0 days, 3 hours, 50 minutes, and 21 seconds ago: <Chillum> I have never understood how
a 1 paragraph post that links to
a full article somehow makes it to the top of google searches. They are adding basically nothing
assbot: Logged on 28-03-2015 02:23:30; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re: pigeons: let's scratch the arithmetic itch. approx. 8400 km from me to b-
a.
a LiMnO2 (non-rechargeable) battery yields approx. 400 Wh/kg.
davout: danielpbarron: does that mean there could be
a way to auto-setup pogos by plugging them to an ethernet cable and turning them on ?
mats: after the tesla driver wins, he plugs it in and fills the bed with pumps, chemicals, water... and heads off to
a client's home for
a carpet cleaning gig
mats: tesla truck and f-250 at the starting line on
a track, both tethered to
a stack of shipping containers
mircea_popescu: i don't think they stand
a chance in europe, for teh record.
danielpbarron: seems as though the stock pogo is configured to look for
a TFTP server without any modification -> bootcmd=bootp; setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=${serverip}:${rootpath} ip=${ipaddr}:${serverip}:${gatewayip}:${netmask}:${hostname}::off; bootm
trinque: I stuck
a debian install on one of the attached drives as
a workspace
danielpbarron: yes, so what is the easiest way to get fw_printenv on
a new unit ? just copy it over from workstation ? or is it easier to reflash with your own kernel using the stock nandwrite tool
