thestringpuller: lol without IRC this would be
a BBS (in som alternate reality)
danielpbarron: that is, he's the one guy in here that i didn't know outside of b-
a and have met him in person
pete_dushenski: "
A bug bounty hunter, Laxman Muthiyah, discovered
a critical flaw in the Facebook Photo Sync feature and Facebook API that could allow any third-party app to access your personal photos from the hidden Facebook Photo Sync album." << lel that sm.
pete_dushenski: went with
a friend who wanted 6 months of statements from her pc
kakobrekla just returned from his fiat bank - what
a terrible experience.
pete_dushenski: if one ends up here, today, wherever they're from was
a successful stepping stone.
pete_dushenski: despite the crazy minimum wage and resulting cost of food, australia is perfectly enjoyable place to visit for
a few weeks.
pete_dushenski: cazalla: not even sure why pete would waste his time coming to this shit hole << being
a tourist =! being
a resident
danielpbarron: it doesn't sound like anyone is using those things for more than
a novelty; they aren't even funding the things for fear of depreciating value
mats: danielpbarron: do
a public service and tell those people holos can be beaten
assbot: Logged on 20-03-2015 13:02:49; mircea_popescu:
a whole range of french (president ?) and italian cheeses ?
danielpbarron: "If you want to resell them, either include
a hologram so that the buyer can generate
a new private key or just don't assemble the coin." << what on earth is the point then?
chetty: ever been to
a costco MP?
cazalla: i can't imagine for
a second that even if costco had this sorta food down under, that it would actually be cheaper or better quality
mircea_popescu: well costco i never used, but in general cash & carry is where you buy
a whole round cheese, that's actually grana padano etc.
cazalla: then wtf would u buy from
a place like costco?
nubbins`: cazalla if you shop at costco ~3-4 times in
a year, you're ahead
mircea_popescu: the romanian bulk supplier (metro) just wants you to have
a company.
cazalla: in fact, they have
a costco just
a few streets away from here, not that i've been.. pay for membership? fuck that, costco drastically underestimates australian refusal to pay for membershits
nubbins`: stumbled across £sd notation
a couple months ago
nubbins`: but i guess you're more of
a journey guy than
a destination guy, hey
nubbins`: "wasn't
a weapon, whatcha gonna do"
nubbins`: suppose the asshole leaves
a banana peel at the top of the stairs
mircea_popescu: "Shoehorning is
a ploy used by psychics, or religious apologetic or other charlatans, as
a way to make it sound like their prophecies or those of earlier prophets had come true. "
nubbins`: mircea_popescu:for that matter, suppose some asshole runs around throwing banana peels right before people. and he gets busted for "assault with
a dangerous weapon". <<< now you're just shoehorning
assbot: Logged on 20-03-2015 06:32:38; *: BingoBoingo kinda wants to it the phils before .ar to pick up
a cheap wife
cazalla: i did work with
a short haired ruski chick
assbot: Logged on 20-03-2015 06:30:59; brendafdez: There I fell in love with
a Russian girl, it was in 2008, it was awesome that we'd both speak with each other in
a language that was foreign for both, felt special, like being in bitcoin these days (?
cazalla: not sure tbh, we didn't speak for
a few years, only recently began talking again
cazalla: i prolly was, only took it up again
a month or so before missus had baby
cazalla: acutally i quit for years, sober as
a judge
cazalla: could be more, could be less, just
a guestimate
cazalla: i tried to convince him of such in PM yet.. he convinced me drinking was
a good idea (ok not really, not like i need much encouragement)
assbot: Logged on 20-03-2015 06:06:35; BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The worst part is I know this had to have been targetted. Someone had to spend
a non-trivial amount of time. I suspect
a partcular name and yet...
mircea_popescu: conservatives don't make very good parents for that reason. kinda why nature put all the poop in the process, make sure it gets
a fair shot.
cazalla:
a kid would be lucky to get 1 meal
a day with such
a woman
cazalla: dependent on bitcoin, goes up enough, i have
a place or two for such women
cazalla: damn, she was the best lay but would've made for
a shitty mother
cazalla: not "not much reason" but no reason, why would
a law abiding citizen keep his sporting equipment under the bed? surely it is in garage with the rest of the foosballs etc
mircea_popescu: cazalla doesn't sound like much of
a country does it ?
mircea_popescu: ;;google guy that crossed atlantic in
a barrel died in new york, slipping on banana peel
davout: mircea_popescu: to be honest,
a strategically banana peel might be more effective in this particular case
cazalla: someone is breaking into my home.. best i call the police to come in 10m time because law does not permit me to own
a shot gun to blast the cunt in seconds
mircea_popescu: no but seriously, someone could use 3k euros to buy
a proper rifle + bullets.
davout: look, i'm not arguing that because they are annoying and potentially dangerous to aircrafts that gives
a justification to anyone to forbid them, simply stating that retards will be retards, and annoy pilots in
a sensitive flight phase
mircea_popescu: for that matter, suppose some asshole runs around throwing banana peels right before people. and he gets busted for "assault with
a dangerous weapon".
mircea_popescu: the discussion wasn't if this is annoying or not, but whether the drone droning about weapons had
a point. at least in my head.
Adlai: what [i think] you want is identical answers to whether
a transaction is valid
davout: i think you underestimate the danger of having
a laser pointed at you when you're doing an approach
mircea_popescu: because it distracts from
a discussion about how they suck, and people should fire them
mircea_popescu: then bureaucrat drones are going on about weapons and whatnot, with nary
a clue about anything but what could be persuasively argued to
a mostly clueless public.
Adlai: you could achieve
a similar effect against drivers with
a cheap camera + servos aiming it... let's ban all electronics!
davout: and you have
a larger view later on the video
davout: if that's the effect on the cam, it's not
a complete stretch to say that you can believe pilots when they say it's blinding
davout: not saying that this is
a good reason to forbid lasers, i'm saying they can be pretty dangerous
davout: "Pilots unanimously say that the effect of
a laser-pen's beam in the cockpit is very similar to the effect of
a car's high-beam headlights at
a short distance -- it blinds you. The decision-making time before
a landing is only 10 critical seconds, pilots say -- and these moments are not to fight green laser beams, but to make critically important decisions. "
mircea_popescu: anyway, all this beating around the bush. here's to making the penis
a dangerous weapon.
cazalla: damn, that is not
a half bad idea
mircea_popescu: what next, this is
a legitimate car crash reason ? "police lights illuminated my cockpit your honor. let the police dept pay."
davout: mircea_popescu: i hang around
a bit on /r/flying, also watched
a few vids of ATPs being lasered and yes, it does look pretty dangerous
cazalla: mircea_popescu, the pollie that said that got busted for gay sex like
a year later, clearly didn't want to play ball anymore (or did)
mircea_popescu: "These gutless and cowardly attacks have to be stopped," he said. "I am preparing
a proposal to cabinet to consider making these items
a prohibited weapon."
davout: it's like everyone in the sky gets pissed at you, while the laserer conveniently gives
a massive arrow pointing to his sorry ass
mircea_popescu: anyway, last fucking job you want in
a conflict zone is flying the helicopters.
davout: does anyone know that pilot joke? "how do you know someone's
a pilot?"
mircea_popescu: im sure driving
a car is pretty awesome to fish, and for the same reason : "mamma mia if i crash this tank im fucked"
mircea_popescu: davout but then again, they don't have to be FOR something. they may well just be BECAUSE of something, that something being "we got
a helicopter"
mircea_popescu:

cazalla: the 2 year retention period is sorta bullshit anyway as it's the ISPs who need to keep the data for 2 years, but if
a gov dept such as ASIO or the police request that data, they are allowed to keep it forever, so i'm sure they will just request all data so that they can keep it forever (if they aren't already doing it)
cazalla: as well as
a black list to block sites like thepiratebay.. fraser's death couldn't have been timed better tbh
assbot: Logged on 19-03-2015 20:22:56; mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-03-2015#1057738 << it is. people (especially people kinda too lazy to study things in depth) have all sorts of theories about privacy and keep pestering me for special addresses etc. it's
a fashion is what it is, one i don't aim to encourage, and i'm stuck because w/e, serving teh customer.
cazalla: fucking media here.. former PM malcolm fraser dies.. every politician gets his 5 minutes in every newspaper, twitter feed, radio stream to express what
a great leader, game changer etc etc the dead guy was
cazalla: brendafdez, while in Germany, were you
a girl yet?
fluffypony: bought
a Pujols t-shirt and everything
fluffypony: I saw
a Cards game in 2010 when I was in St. Louis
BingoBoingo: It is neatly the opposite of the abortus which purports to host
a "super bowl"
BingoBoingo: The best way I can explain baseball aesthetically then is as
a dance where every movement holds the entire game at stake
trinque: other than that, I don't know that the US is producing
a lot of worthwhile art
brendafdez: art is in the eye of the beholder, so I won't dispute that. I would however find it hard to see art in sport. It must be there, but generally I just couldn't care less. When there's
a major sports event here, it means 'good time to go outside and take pictures of the empty streets and such'
BingoBoingo: It is totally still
a thing. It is my favorite baseball team
brendafdez: St Louis Cardinals was
a baseball team then? That was the art show? :P
BingoBoingo: There was this hot German exchange chick in High School my sernior year evern though every class was equivalent of her Junior year. Let's refer to her
a Kirsten Nao
brendafdez: I need to find
a foreign-speaking gf/bf/whatever soon, being with the locals doesn't compare
brendafdez: I was still
a teenager, so you can't blame me ;)
