asciilifeform: or does it require mircea_popescu's wptron wholesale.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, ben_vulpes , et al : got a snippet for this wp fix ?
phf`: i'm pretty sure wp arbitrarily mungles posts/comments on render. that's why mircea_popescu's wp version has a special hack that wraps gpg data in a pre and ensures that wp doesn't touch it in any way ☟︎
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> ah but mod6 baby, you can't sign html and expect to verify the text a browser outputs cmon. << :] i didn't sign html.

mod6: <+mircea_popescu> ssl certs for v, basically ? << eep.
a111: Logged on 2015-04-07 00:10 mircea_popescu: just like having a car doesn't alow having gasoline. it's true that often people who have cars also independently have gasoline, but the two are fundamentally unrelated, and there is such a thing as the fool's breakdown, ie, car's outta gas on the side of hte road.

gizmolearner: mircea_popescu you might make more money in terms of amount, but not nescessarily in actual value. Might be true if you have enough money that your money makes money.
gizmolearner: mircea_popescu: used to do security software, goofed off for a few years, running out of savings so I need to either make something or get a job again

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that's a socket ! as in what goes on a mobo. not interposer.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not a socket-f interposer, certainly. we're talking about a pretty hefty and expensive (impedance-matched, etc) thing.

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: story is boring: i was doing r/d for teeny tiny chip testing companies in the "silicon forest", hated commuting to the burbs and not having a keg in the office, and got hoovered up by the great webdev pressure gradient.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: GE
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: You also have to consider the marketing rape of "impact resistant" from "doesn't break" to implications of "shock resistant"

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: imagine my brief surprise to realize this was not How Adults Did Things
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> (unlike eg "biking naked", gardening naked makes a lot of sense. skin washes better than any garment, which is why sane societies have kids under 10 or so in the buff. way the fuck better to step on the anglotard notions of "pudicity" than to crimp the kids' style.) << Notice naked gardening day is not during blackberry harvesting season
lobbes: <mircea_popescu> [17:38:46] possibly the poster child of ustardation, the spellchecker << somewhat-related lulzy ad. "Are your customer service monkeys illiterate? There's an app for that!11" >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ak-Y56SfkS0
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fella's a bit fixated on normal conquest, berber slavers, conscripted sailors. might even be a candidate for one of your cuckold stories.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: seems odd, the phrasing, 'a network segment associated with your server', as if only the lan had gone down

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> standard kerosene is 46MJ/kg. the boeing carries about 63k liters, and kerosene density is about .82 << Aha, this seems to be a source of common misunderstanding. That Jet fuel is a kerosene "heating oil" and not a gasoline exploding oil
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: 46 * 63 * .82 = 2376.3599999999997

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> why would you give 50yo kid trying to make a life/career out of singing into mom's hairspray tube in his underwear opiates ? << Because muh hips, muh knees, muh condishuns!
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> you'd expect pop icon of the 80s can afford nuclear grade pure samples. << Nah, they all hired fiduciaries who told them to "invest" in building their own "Neverland Ranch" by 1990

mod6: <+mircea_popescu> o hey, foundation owning shares, too ? << at first I was thinking that these might need to be realised into btc and sent to the addy... but i don't see any restrictions on asset ownership. as long as jurov writes in a line item in the report at least.
ben_vulpes: well no mircea_popescu also security couldn't cope! they worried! how can you calculate the security numbers, you dragon you?

Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i will give one example. about a year ago, there was a discussion with sturles about mempool and the whole zero fee tx clusterfuck. at some point later on, you said that (can't find quote, paraphrasing) on scrutiny, sturles' account broke apart. whereas i read it as "discussion was ongoing, then mp changed topic".

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ours is not an age of heroes, no.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: strategy of the 'random' thing is ~same as usual -- make an idiocy to 'replace' an inconvenient genuine thing
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: just curious, how are there "parallels with BitBet's misadventures last year about this time"? the "dead recokining" accounting standard?
