mircea_popescu: having no intention of getting along is a perfect armor against repeating usenet ; or
the internet ; or anything else.
mircea_popescu: don't
tell me
that "if oyu don't read how imbecile smart doods
trying
to get along
tried
to get along, you won't ever guess on your own and may repeat
the same mistakes".
mircea_popescu: leaves open
the question of "why is
the history of improductive planet, be it
the left can of soda or right can of soda, worthy of preservation".
mircea_popescu: there's
two components
to "grandfather" : a) man ; b) successful.
mircea_popescu: i will agree with you
that yes, man
trying and failing is still man ; but you will i hope agree with me
that man failing while still man nevertheless still loser.
mircea_popescu: i will grudgingly grant
this much, and very grudgingly at
that.
mircea_popescu: what of
this supposed work can i rely on
today ? is
there a schematic ? is
therew anything ? HOW do you distinguish between
this and henninger "publishing" ?
a111: Logged on 2016-07-11 17:52 asciilifeform: he even had
the benzyl crystals mostly grown.
a111: Logged on 2014-08-22 03:06 peterl: no, a less
traditional synthesis, from benzyl bromide, methylamine and acetaldehyde
mircea_popescu: fuck 'em,
they have no claim
to perpetuation whatsoever.
mircea_popescu will make no secret he has ~no respect for
the "pistols" of such grandfathers. if
they sucked less
they might have solved say... ONE of
the problems we're stuck with.
phf: mircea_popescu: got it,
thinking
shinohai: Welp my female companion has sworn off
the internet for
the evening after reading latest
Trilema.
mircea_popescu: in even more lulz : passed
today by chinese restaurant "rong fad", rico y barato ; as well as by dr. rivera's FagRivet veterniarian hospital. you know, for pets.
mircea_popescu: "While presented under
the umbrella name of WizSec,
this unofficial independent investigation into MtGox is a voluntary effort of individuals." ehehehehe
BingoBoingo: rage has many flavors, and mebbe USG lives long enough for
there
to be a next coke machine
to Rage Against
BingoBoingo: Rage into a
text editor on
this subject for 30-45 minutes, editor will insert links
to support points and spellcheck before offering pre-press for your review.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I understand you shiva hands are full, but maybe you can spit some venom at
the Wizsec
thing? As "coke machine" prognisticator affair could use your voice from on high.

the problem here is moreover default
trust. so you wake up one day and you see... "gnupg". nomina nuda. you look around,
theres' "werner koch" idem, nomina nuda. you look,
there's "tor" with "shari" and "isis". names, hollow as can be. but
the natural
tendency of
the brain,
to see movement in a succession of stills and meaning in noise and structure in names convinces you
these are
THINGS.
mircea_popescu: that's
the other
thing : so vast is
the usg bureaucracy, you can always use
them in a different province.
that
this is how it works is always evident : just like gavin was supposed
to be accepted in bitcoin because of his mit credentials, now he's offered
to
the naive population of $random-small-town on
the basis of his "bitcoin credentials" and so no. as long as nobody digs, figures
the usg,
the lies stand by default.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> is, e.g., gavin, still in circulation? i admit - lost
track << Atm he appears
to be mostly focused with his Amherst city council or neighborhood watch gig
mircea_popescu: so
they are... augmenting
the... intelligence, such as it is, of
the "customer base"
mircea_popescu: this, btw, should probably count as augmented intelligence :
the normal workings of
the normie brain make
the past very foggy.
the deliberate design of
the apple and apple-clones makes memory both more costly and less useful
than it'd be naturally.
mircea_popescu: there is no such
thing because of
the enforced short memory of
the herd.
mod6: asciilifeform:
thanks
mircea_popescu: i'm not entirely sure how
to phrase
this correctly, but, some guy
trying
to use his own noggin emerged out of
the
tardstalk swamps at some point years past. apparently he's using some different-same "platform"
thing, whatever.
jhvh1: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
ben_vulpes: dun disagree in
the slightest with either point
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i know
the number of links pasted
to my logger approaches epsilon, but rewriting
those few links
to
the sensible scheme makes me squeamish nevertheless. probably resolved with a "hey doodz, updating my loggers refs,
this includes editing lines logged
to point
to
the new schema."
mircea_popescu: the whole "for we say so
therefore it is" confidence is somewhat chuckle worthy.
mircea_popescu: it's an iffy point. generally,
trying
to work
the pig farm slowly increases
the qty of shit you're covered in. digital pig farms aren't much better.
trinque: I find it hard
to believe
that exchange "owner" owns himself
trinque: maybe btc-e guy's owner
told him
to fork over
the wad, and go sit on his spike, as per prior arrangements.
mircea_popescu: hey, for as long as
the imbecile cattle "buys" bitcoin on usg.tor and
then goes on reddit
to "independently" opine about mp...
mircea_popescu: now,
trying
to get rid of "independent" "exchanges" is logical from
their pow, but won't
turn out particularly useful, because
they weren't all
that independent in
the first place.
mircea_popescu: well,
the usg problem is
that
they got left with a larger-than-usual hole as a result of
their recent attempt
to "gold" bitcoin.
trinque: also btc-e still down, massive wad of coins on
the move?
mod6: for my purposes, i'd like
to use arrays. anyway, im just kinda doing some educational stuff.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6: you may have noticed
that asciilifeform did not use
the containers, or elaborate string ops << yeah, we discussed. just wanted
to familiarize myself with 'em.
mircea_popescu: and greece is possibly
the main offender. it gets more free money
than ~anyone, per size.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-26 13:41 asciilifeform: idiot ircs sucking nato cock and paying for
the privilege
mod6: hopefully it'll be /fast/
too.
mod6: how hard/easy
that will be, i dunno yet.
mod6: most of which are fairly easy
to utilize; i've been adventuring
through reading in vpatch/sig/pubkeys and storing
them in mem.
mod6: nothing
to write home about really, just sharpening my skills with containers, multi-d arrays, and record.
mod6: nothing interesting at
the moment.
jhvh1: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-26 06:10 ben_vulpes: asciilifeform:
the amending is a point i get stuck on every
time i start
thinking about using sensible identifiers in my www logs
mod6: how's it goin
this mornin?
