decimation: I use a BlackBerry mainly because I’m so restricted in what I can do that it’s basically just messages, and it’s still easier for me to tap off the [BlackBerry]. But basically most of my non-work-related stuff, I’m working off the iPad."
decimation: now that's something I can stand for!
decimation: "I’m as strong as I have been. I think the only concern is our law enforcement is expected to stop every plot. Every attack. Any bomb on a plane. The first time that attack takes place in which it turns out that we had a lead and we couldn’t follow up on it, the public’s going to demand answers." < 'leadership' at its finest
asciilifeform: thinking 'now i'll find work'
asciilifeform: decimation: i can't help but wonder if somewhere, in a damp cellar, a kid is studying 'JOVIAL'
decimation: asciilifeform: I once visited an faa 'en-route' center when I was a youth
asciilifeform: i can sorta see why naggum went in for ada
decimation: http://archive.adaic.com/projects/atwork/boeing.html << "For these projects, Honeywell purchased DDC-I, Inc.'s Ada Compiler System, using it as the front-end source for Honeywell's symbolic debugger. "
asciilifeform: - actually - i can think of one
asciilifeform: there are proprietary ada systems, yes. i have not been able to learn who uses them, and for what.
decimation: no it's the real time os I think
decimation: I guess the difference is the 'usg certificate'
asciilifeform: i've learned that there is not actually a good substitute for ada, as of yet.
decimation: I wasn't aware that it was still going strong in non-defense areas
asciilifeform: as i pointed out earlier,
decimation: then again, I can envision a tradition fab becoming cheaper
decimation: I don't see how one could 'shrink' a fab into anything smaller than it is (as it currently exists)
decimation: that I agree with
asciilifeform: that i know of.
decimation: I guess my point is that it seems to be science fiction to me
decimation: I'm sure it does
decimation: asciilifeform: I was thinking about a 'home chip fab'
BingoBoingo: Cool, I'll get to assembling the package
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: am i to use your original wot key ?
thestringpuller: that thing I posted
cazalla: thestringpuller, i thought failure rate due to fraud would be hi gher
mike_c: ohhh, i get it. time for bed i think.
cazalla: just needs a comma, i'll fix
cazalla: i think he is this guy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deinopis_subrufa
cazalla: not yet and provided he keeps his distance, i won't do him in
cazalla: i'm cleaning up and what do i see.. a spider, but one i've never seen before http://i.imgur.com/5Es7jlg.jpg ☟︎
cazalla: i
danielpbarron: i haven't seen any blocks mined with this new version in a while
cazalla: i am not running 0.10 mind you
cazalla: i actually saw this the other day https://twitter.com/CAVIRTEX/status/567328589993897984 but let it slide as the website said something a little different (BTC and LTC wallets have been disabled due to a known issue. All customer funds are safe. Please be patient while we address the issue.)and i figured it would turn out as a nothing, way to be wrong eh
mike_c: and that's simply the first one i noticed, i didn't continue to find others
Adlai: is where i died
Adlai: ahahahaha pete_dushenski thank you for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-W1weeK2UA#t=242 this is just what i needed before sleep
Adlai: swap is there as a failsafe, it ran just fine 101 days without it, but i'd rather not take chances if things go crazy while i'm asleep
Adlai: also nice to have some level of isolation if i royally screw up one image
Adlai: http://i.imgur.com/7Hl2wBb.png
asciilifeform: Adlai: boxes that -i personally- could visit where i live start around ~1k usd/mo
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i did learn how to read a datasheet in the mines.
Adlai: "i'm renting a physical *(yes)* box" <- as in, "have i visited the box personally and confirmed that it occupies the same reality as me? _yes_"
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> i'm renting a physical (yes) box for ~25 usd / mo << wherewherewhere
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell cazalla i forgot a title! please to consider "CAVIRTEX, the biggest Bitcoin exchange in Canada, closes doors out of embarrassment "
asciilifeform: (these were rng boards, which are analogue devices and for which i have means of testing conformance to spec)
asciilifeform: i managed to order a couple of boards from that weirdo board house
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i prefer hammer time
mike_c: i'd like to have unique constraint on fingerprint. maybe boot the offending nicks from the db?
mike_c: i want there not to be dupe keys.
jurov: nope. i'm certain i talked about it here before.
jurov: i didn't dare to find out just to keep a toy afloat
asciilifeform: but this is not a problem i have had the honour of having
asciilifeform: i'm renting a physical (yes) box for ~25 usd / mo
jurov: but i'll be asking around , we'll see
asciilifeform: i've said it at least thrice, and will say a fourth time - all s.nsa expenses that are denominated in usd have been de-facto fronted by yours truly
asciilifeform: mike_c: worse than this. 1) i'm paying 2) not getting terribly much, have ~5mil keys that have not been dumped in on account of - elementarily - lack of cpu
asciilifeform: no lie there - i told everyone it's languishing on aws.
asciilifeform: i am!
asciilifeform: i do not like it, sp4m i am
asciilifeform: i do not want it in a ham,
asciilifeform: i do not want it with a gnu,
asciilifeform: i do not want it in the zoo, ☟︎
asciilifeform: mike_c: i don't -want- aws
jurov: which service? if it's phuctor, i can imagine it relies on sole access to fast SSD storage.
mike_c: i am arguing that the service will be more reliable and easier to run on aws than colo rack.
jurov: oh you're arguing reliability? i missed that
mike_c: yes, i know. but i don't think you're disagreeing that colo will have lower reliability?
jurov: or i miisunderstood what's he doing?
asciilifeform: i would also like it to be a fucking -actual computer-
asciilifeform: i need precisely one box.
jurov: they do hae "dedicated" instances, but i'm not pressing the point
danielpbarron: "Every word out of your and MP's mouths is disgusting. Your vision for Bitcoin is disgusting. Everything about you is disgusting. I can't wait for everyone decent to prove to you just how wrong you are about everything you've said in all the threads and blog posts about this fork." https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=941331.msg10493254#msg10493254
jurov: and back to topic, currently i'm about reselling aws stuff, that's a start. i know some trustworthy people here that do vpses, i'll ask them for cooperation
lobbes: jurov: thanks for the link. I got my own VPS to fuck up, though. ;)
lobbes: asciilifeform: unless i misunderstand, jurov isn't opening a clinic for the poor << Fair enough. Point taken
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: i'm simply used to seeing that phrase as shorthand for 'it's ok for me to utterly fuck this up, right, because results couldn't possibly be important, aha?' ☟︎
jurov: lobbes if you want, i can give you simpleshell.com to learn it's low maintenance, but also low profit
asciilifeform: unless i misunderstand, jurov isn't opening a clinic for the poor
lobbes: I wouldn't add much value, but I'd work for free as an extra set of hands/eyes. You'd still need someone that knew what they were doing, of course. Plus I wouldn't be available 24/7 so maybe I'd be no use lol
jurov: i see this is serious and there's interest. but the last obstacle is i must do this together with someone, it needs someone on duty 24hrs
mircea_popescu: but then you gotta commit to make it a job. i think there's a pretty decent living in it, but whadda i know.
mircea_popescu: if you want, i can front you the capital to colo a few servers wherever you want, and work off that.
jurov: okay i'll consider it
jurov: i have plenty experience with using VPSes, not with running them
jurov: have to make some dough first, then i can finally fix it
mod6: everytime i've ever followed -current i end up with a lot of panic!s
mircea_popescu: yeah i dunno that you can do that today asciilifeform
punkman: ah I assumed current meant stable
punkman: no I mean we need a website with names and photos
asciilifeform: i'm speaking of the authors.
asciilifeform: but i really can't think of a good reason why anyone should be able to pull this shit twice.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's not a problem of technology asa much as ideology, you realise. currently, if you ask consumer why X item exists, it's because "that's what the factory makes". "and it has to be sold^H^H^H^H marketed to me". as opposed to, you know, because this is what I WANT.
ben_vulpes: myes, i've been brutalized by it.
ben_vulpes: now, i beg pardon for my ignorance, but could not this model be adapted to the cd rw?
ben_vulpes: i recall a story from a stephenson book, about a machine that computed with chains run through computing boxes
asciilifeform: well literally 9 of 10 searches i ever did on that page returned garbage specifically because of stem
mircea_popescu: (i don't care either way, each works, but i was lulz'd at your militant stance)
asciilifeform: i'd love to expunge -all- existing ic
