mircea_popescu: i guess social sciences have made some progresses over the years ?

mircea_popescu: notice i'm limiting myself to relative statements ?

asciilifeform: because i didn't. and i don't believe a word out of the usg shills that is south kr.

mircea_popescu: mno. for that matter, i didn't watch my own birth happen, either.

mircea_popescu: but i think it'd pretty much require best kim involvement for that result.

mircea_popescu: yeah yeah, i recall, the usms "auction" where they forgot to publish the results, in spite of foia, and their late promise to respect foia on an arbitrary extralegal self appointed date.

dignork: mircea_popescu: I can't currently handle it myself, but I can bring a friend and we'll split the work, would you be interested to cooperate? ☟︎

mircea_popescu: dignork cool, but what i'm really looking for is someone to do the site.

BingoBoingo: And here I was thinking Geocities had taught everyone that lesson while it still lived

dignork: nah, the site should be self-sufficient imho, but I'd love to hear the solution though :)

mircea_popescu: "A YouTube representative called this revision a clarification of its existing policy, one that occurred late last year, intended to prevent advertiser conflicts and ensure viewers don’t feel bombarded by ads. Paul Kontonis, executive director of the Global Online Video Association, however framed it as an explicit change that prevents YouTube stars and multichannel networks from working prominent sponsor logos and i

mircea_popescu: danielpbarron: height=210431 vs height=186701 << is it about 10k a day or am i sorely misreading the numbers ?

mircea_popescu: dude, if i tell you it's solved... what, want me to pay you an escrow on it ?

mircea_popescu: a new posting, i see.

mircea_popescu: dignork to that problem i have a solution./

dignork: mircea_popescu: I'd love to, but currently I fail to see how to handle collusion, if player's identity is not WoT based

jurov: mats, i got only dead links there

fluffypony: what did I do wrong now?

pete_dushenski: then 30 years later: "i never said that, but it sounds like me!"

decimation: the real reason is because of politics; and we're going to get to that in a second. But the person had to say something. He couldn't just say, 'Because I'm politically important.' Or, 'My state is politically important.' Or whatever it was. So, he said,' Well, milk is special.' And the Senator, who was not from a milk state, said,' Why?' And the witness had a problem there. He had to think of something. So he said, 'Well, milk's bulky.'

decimation: http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2015/02/daniel_sumner_o.html > "I just have to mention that I once saw a hearing on this on TV and I was paying attention, for a while, because I thought this would be good for my class; ... But the high point of this, which made it all worthwhile, was one of the Senators asked the milk person why milk was treated so differently from every other product. And there was an awkward silence. And of course

decimation: "I can be a slut - it's okay as long as I don't fuck a nazi!"

decimation: mircea_popescu: yeah I figured you would like that

asciilifeform: TheNewDeal et al: if the chance comes again, i'll write another.

danielpbarron: i'm not anywhere near skilled enough to check that source for badness though

danielpbarron: i got a bunch of warnings, but i seem to have my own nandwrite and flash_erase compiled from this source -> ftp://ftp.infradead.org/pub/mtd-utils/

danielpbarron: that beer, i'd drink

decimation: http://forums.canadiancontent.net/history/48176-18th-century-london-its-daily.html < " In 1771, Tobias Smollet wrote, "If I would drink water, I must quaff the mawkish contents of an open aqueduct, exposed to all manner of defilement, or swallow that which comes from the River Thames, impregnated with all the filth of London and Westminster. Human excrement is the least offensive part of the concrete, which is composed of all the drugs,

ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> jesus this free speech thing i can't even force a point beyond all reason without you people oppressing my metaphordisphoria << it's for the logs :P

asciilifeform: the encyclopaedia i mentioned earlier today (1872) contained innumerable recipes for useful things, but also for faux honey, sham ass's milk (yes), and a thousand other fakeries

mircea_popescu: jesus this free speech thing i can't even force a point beyond all reason without you people oppressing my metaphordisphoria

ben_vulpes: i don't think you've seen beer prices around here lately.

ben_vulpes: i don't even drink beer anymore

danielpbarron: http://blog.cylance.com/author/brian-wallace << i went to school with this guy / haven't talked to him in years

mircea_popescu: http://40.media.tumblr.com/64cdf852d93b8cd579e950efb42d20a9/tumblr_nav669ULIl1se6ghyo1_1280.jpg << i think she's trying to debug his pulseaudio.

asciilifeform: if i recall, abundance of 'heavy water' (D2O) on earth is around 0.0003

ben_vulpes: but i would like to know.

asciilifeform: re: autism pollutant: when i tell folks that north kr is a unique planetary resource whose (very likely) disappearance could turn out to be an extinction-level catastrophe - they make monkey noises

danielpbarron: and i can use the flash_erase and nandwrite that come on the stock pogo?

cazalla: this food talk reminds me of current hysteria of hepatitis a laden frozen berries from china doing the rounds here in australia, many people such, much surprise for some reason.. while on holidays, i spot the same shit in my parents freezer, advise em that they might not wanna eat this but get met with abuse, you think you know everything response.. a month later, hep a scare! so sweet lulz

danielpbarron: i've got two examples of writing uboot and they use different flags and different start addresses

danielpbarron: d'oh i'm dumb; it's in /usr/sbin/

asciilifeform: this says nothing on the question of contaminants found in 'proper' food in same shop, but i did want to point out that the two fundamentally different things are shelved separately

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: where i live, the synthetic food is conveniently shelved in another (by far largest) section of the store than the mostly-correct (to look, feel, and taste) variant

danielpbarron: is this the same file i can write to /dev/mtd0 ?

danielpbarron: ok i have an executable file named 'u-boot'

mircea_popescu: thestringpuller no, i mean low value idiots who'd gladly suck our cock if only we a) didn't bang hotties and b) validated their self-hottie delusions.

asciilifeform: iirc i picked it from the built-in menuconfig thingie in uboot's build system

danielpbarron: i was gonna use MV88f6281GTW_GE Board

danielpbarron: you used the sheevaplug board option i see

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=a7Sidjqn << here's mine

thestringpuller: everytime i see pogo plug now I think of a pogo stick shaped butt plug

danielpbarron: i made this config file: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=WeNwB1mR

danielpbarron: i'm trying to figure this uboot thing out right now. is this a proper thing to be looking at? -> http://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/u-boot-latest.tar.bz2

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: the actual jtag test points are small and gnarly, clustered around cpu. i'll get around to them some time..

PeterL: no, but they do have pretty high propety tax there, I think

mircea_popescu: Adlai nope. because once it's established they'd try to steal it and i'd have to go to war and massaacre them.

mircea_popescu: how about i buy a building, make a building income tax ?!

mircea_popescu: PeterL: so I'm looking at houses near some of the jobs I'm applying for, I know I really don't want to live inside Detroit, but 15k for a 4br/2ba house seems tempting << it's the end of days i tell you, idiots here think 2br/1ba apts are 150k

mircea_popescu: chetty i suspect it's one way but not the other for purely biological reasons. specifically : 9 yos can do the same number of pull-ups.

cazalla: in other words, i'm already familiar (comfortable?) with the idea of tom boys

cazalla: chetty, i guess because i grew up knowing of some whereas the idea that a boy would think he is a girl was foreign to me until more recent years.. just an anecdote, but i see most of the boy to girl shit coming from sjw types, that's all

mircea_popescu: consequently, in the 1sqkm area that's the hunting grounds of one healthy boy, i literally knew, by sight, thousands of kids.

mircea_popescu: and to help everyone interested evaluate the above numeric claims : at the time in romania, housing was "allocated", to first time parents. so basically, you'd marry, play with the wife, once she missed a period you made a claim with your place of employment and ~1 year later they'd give you the keys to a new apartment. the density was maybe 1k / sqkm. i was a first born, but most families had two or more children - pl

mircea_popescu: i think i knew a grand total of maybe a dozen kids that'd be what you call confused. prolly more, but kept secret because at the time pretty stigmatic.

cazalla: boy wanting to be girl i mean, tom boys are a given

chetty: I dont doubt the uptick is partly a matter of fashion and names, but it doesnt explain it all, something else is going on there

trinque: most "autistic" people I've encountered just seemed like kids that weren't properly raised

trinque: I suspect it's as adhd was/is, an easy way to prescribe drugs

NewLiberty: I'd aver that no money is in a vacuum, it is only meaningful in exchange for things. https://www.dollarvigilante.com/storage/devaluation_denarius.jpg

mircea_popescu: and i'd have heard *something* about the particular weirdness.

mircea_popescu: as a kid growing up, i had contact with... thousands, prolly at the outset 10k kids. in the sense of actually having seen them with mine own eyes.

mircea_popescu: mmm, but i would remember the cases, see. not a matter of calling.

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: <decimation> I would bet that if you asked the parents of the non-vaccinated, they would say that they want to 'prevent autism' << isn't the best way to achieve this to have kids while the womb in question is young, flexible and healthy and the sperms ibid? << i am willing to bet no, because autism was virtually unknown weh i was a kid, and old women had plentry of kids back then

chetty: well I dont know why women want bigger butts

mircea_popescu: NewLiberty: I am advocating that "chief scientists" at least be scientists and not engineers << scientists, engineers etc have no business with chiefdom. that's a position for a strategist, nothing else.

assbot: Logged on 15-02-2015 15:36:09; kakobrekla: i wonder what goes longer way towards 'inclusiveness', the big blocks or cheap nodes

ascii_field: 'i just wanna swing'

danielpbarron: i don't know how to use computers because i'm actually good at it; it's a matter of necessity

danielpbarron: well, i'm an idiot :/

ascii_field: i certainly did not use their idiot 'registration' thing

ascii_field: danielpbarron: not only, but i said what that way is on the day i mentioned 'pogo' here for the first time

mircea_popescu: ascii_field i wrote them an email inviting them over.

thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: http://qntra.net/2015/02/vermont-bitcoin-atm-cease-and-desist-requested/#comment-10900 << I don't think that will work. Cause you are exchanging government scrip for Bitcoin so it involves transfer of that...

trinque: I'm here

mircea_popescu: mike_c: anybody ever use https://www.eurodns.com << i think i got something thourhg them a few years ago. nothing terrible.

mircea_popescu: brendafdez: if I say not at all, it's like I didn0t make it in their eyes, im missing out on being part of the foundation << lol muricans gotta muricate.

ascii_field: i'd generalize to everything being tandem-able by default

ascii_field: i've contemplated a revival of delay-line memories using modern high-frequency amps

ascii_field: i must say, always wanted to build a 'bitslice cpu'

mircea_popescu: what i mean is : currently, the fabs regard a printer that ruins 1% of the sheets as disastrous.

danielpbarron: the drive popped out as a result of the fall, and its connecting bracket also came out a bit; but it's setting new best height now, so all is fine i suppose

pete_dushenski: but i guess hanging out here trains one's eye after a while

pete_dushenski: but i guess the usg is just a marketing machine at this point

PeterL: so I'm looking at houses near some of the jobs I'm applying for, I know I really don't want to live inside Detroit, but 15k for a 4br/2ba house seems tempting

ascii_field: (must confess that i have not tested that particular incarnation, however. but my pogo has not once overheated or shown any signs of hardware failure. has been running more or less round the clock since purchase.)

ascii_field: jurov: it's unstable << i'm gonna guess that the unstable part is the proprietary nas app that comes with 'pogo'

Apocalyptic: "right now I'm trusting Gemalto" lel given https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2015/02/19/great-sim-heist/

pete_dushenski: i'll keep using your moon nazi example because it's so darned useful here: trust isn't complete, but limited to one domain

assbot: Gemalto also makes OpenPGP smart cards - I have one. We really need a OpenPGP v2 that supports multisig; right now I'm trusting Gemalto.
