kakobrekla: i very much doubt diff name will halp
asciilifeform: i no longer give a damn if it was 'reddit', 'hacker news', or whatever.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: naturally. that's why i no longer even bother to check at most times.
BingoBoingo: TaT joined earleir today but I didn't have time to warn about Mr. Flood before join/part storm affected him
BingoBoingo: Hypercard was the tool I used to sort the girls I wanted to fuck in High School... Because 80's movies
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Now that I've realized it some months ago I can't forget stumbling into loper well before stumbling into BTC

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: New must happen first. I'm not writing about a fucking image macro like Conde Nasty http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/11/western-union-doesnt-like-bitcoin-spoof-ad-files-dmca-takedown-claim/ Imma write moar though
ben_vulpes: i can't believe that i've never seen that until today
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: at one point i needed some conductive cloth (the kind with silver strands) for an experiment. to my great surprise, i discovered that there is a large manufacturer in usa, and they do brisk business with folks suffering from precisely the kind of phobia described in decimation's link. ☟︎☟︎
ben_vulpes: derpy? i mean culty.
BingoBoingo: decimation: I wouldn't be surprised if that status is in flux. The way Lambert Intl's runways are set... peace in Ferguson is almsot a pre-requisite for safe departures
decimation: the only armored aircraft I know usg flies is the A-10, and they are trying to get rid of them
decimation: I don't think most us mil helicopters are armoured
asciilifeform: (i once spoke with a police chopper man during a local 'show & tell', asked about armour. he answered 'you gotta be kidding')
decimation: asciilifeform: I tend to agree. Did you see that USG banned flying over st. louis? For your safety.
decimation: asciilifeform: wrt police need to know < I think there is some credibility to Mr. Y's thinking that urban police 'bridge the gap' between crazy usg policy and reality
BingoBoingo: decimation: I know here firefighters prefer analog for "intelligible range" of transmissions
asciilifeform: what i'm saying is that even if one could decrypt the whole lot, it is rarely of interest
BingoBoingo: decimation: But if I go closer than my present 30 miles... I face the possibility of encountering either police or protesters
BingoBoingo: decimation: You have to understand I am safely on the other side of the Mississippi and would rather stay here atm.
undata: ben_vulpes: maybe in a bit; lets see if I don't screw everything up
undata: ben_vulpes: can't drink tonight; I'm rolling out updates this evening
ben_vulpes: lady v's making pies with my younger brother tonight and i don't want to be around for it
ben_vulpes: i'm staying way the fuck out of their way.
ben_vulpes: i also saw a van with outriggers packed with riot-geared cops
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: this afternoon i saw a jeep 'truck' and chrysler 'minivan' block traffic on burnside for no reason. two vehicles, completely unmarked, pulled out into traffic, turned on head/taillight mars signallers, blocked the street for two full minutes, then turned said lights off and peeled off
undata: decimation: dunno, I'm on the other end, and despise people who over-rely on authority to think
asciilifeform: (i.e. those who built the layers of crud tortoises on which the elephants stand)
decimation: in practice, I've found that kind of attitude to result in workarounds on top of workarounds, because of the lack of coordination
decimation: undata: I think it illustrates the 'people are replaceable parts' attitude common in 'tech industry'
undata: I loathe working with people who bitch about how bad the codebase that is ostensibly their "work" is
undata: I have a hard time processing how telling your underling to maximize thinking for him/herself is suppression
undata: "I'm not going to be suppressed anymore" YOU HEAR THAT DAD?!
asciilifeform: i have, for instance, 'programmer's guide to CLOS [common lisp object system]' on my shelf, by one sonya keene.

danielpbarron: i guess not
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I've never had that experience.
undata: dub: am I supposed to believe every joker that claims he broke his dick? standards, man.
asciilifeform: ink about how to get out of problems like that. Outside the poker table, consider any problem that starts with the words “So, I have been having a steamy secret affair with the wife of this violent mob boss, and now she...”'
asciilifeform: ace, because it can only have resulted from you having made choices that are obviously wrong and easily avoidable. At the poker table, the description of an alien problem might begin “So I called a raise and re-raise preflop from the small blind with my jack-three offsuit...” Say no more. Don’t call a raise and re-raise from the small blind when you have nothing but a measly jack-three offsuit, and you won’t have to th
undata: "xanthyos: i act and speak with total sincerity at all times" << pfffff
undata: I'm also rating the likelihood that this is true at 0.001%
undata: "xanthyos: they won't even see me because i called the dr a faggot" << winrar right here
dub: its ok undata, I will sleep next month
dub: and muscle cramps worse than anything I've had
dub: I think my body is burning out
BingoBoingo: I thought even US aircraft now are just parts waiting to be consumed by their brothers and sisters
BingoBoingo: I thought generally that's how jet fighters work everywhere. Hundreds of planes maybe tens available at any given time if lucky
asciilifeform: as i understand, this is why countries that inherited, bought, stole, etc. some xxx quantity of soviet aircraft yy years ago, tend to fly some small handful z of them at a time
danielpbarron: 07:29 <+gernika> May I ask where the reptilian reference comes from? << probably from david icke
BingoBoingo: I might have to make a trip there when I can convert BTC to pallets of local scrip
BingoBoingo: I suspect actual alien influencers would be avian
asciilifeform: comes from an infamous crackpot whose name i've forgotten, who wrote a lengthy treatise on how planet has been secretly ruled by lizard-like aliens since time immemorial
gernika: May I ask where the reptilian reference comes from? (lizard hitler, et. al) I see some references to Hitler being a Lizard Alien Being on google, but nothing beyond a literal interpretation of that.
BingoBoingo: This surprised, I guess the small number of anons who might not be from USG's vegetable garden
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: tor drama << i don't get it. what, exactly, was the linked thing about ?

babbys_first_bit: i've hidden in a pretty gud place
babbys_first_bit: i do tend to get falling down drunk on occasion
babbys_first_bit: I suppose unless I go around telling people IRL i've got a paper backup with my bitcoin wealth tied to it, nobody who happened to find it would even know what it meant. It's not like i wrote "ARMORY BACKUP FOR EXTREME BITCOIN WEALTH" on the backup
babbys_first_bit: I find it kind of odd how I'd need to use a USB stick combined with accessing my offline laptop with the password before I can send coins, yet if someone were to get my paper wallet and knew what those four letter words meant, they suddenly have the keys to the kingdom
BingoBoingo: I instead [censored] my [censored][censored] with [censored][censored][censored] under a [censored] mountain
babbys_first_bit: Those paper wallet backups I made, if someone were to get a hold of them , and somehow know what they meant, could they steal my coins, or would they need my password?
babbys_first_bit: i have a shitty laptop that I've devoted to my cold storage, disabled wifi etc
babbys_first_bit: I've migrated from bitcoin core to Armory
BingoBoingo: Atm though I think bitcointalk's cancer is probably more terminal
assbot: I mortgaged my future with a Mac ... ( http://bit.ly/1yTADjh )
cazalla: fluffypony: Jurassic World trailer is out <<< i could not be more disappointed
mircea_popescu: outside of biochemistry and perhaps some aeronautics, i struggle to think of a field where research is done in english

mats_cd03: aw, i fell asleep before all the activity
mircea_popescu: i guess
mircea_popescu: i have my doubts.
cazalla: not usually something i worry about but i am sure there will be a long line of people handing over coins for useless shit on black friday
cazalla: mircea_popescu, yes but i would prefer that random value be on the lower side either tmw or after black friday
cazalla: drop i mean
mircea_popescu: <undata> mircea_popescu: I have no philosophical objection to burning gas <<< sure, but if you're on a barge you can't conceivably drill for oil. so ethanol's left.
Vexual: i tell you wot, id consult for zt
cazalla: few times people have taken it outside of auDA and to court though, ZT could do that or simply buy it back which i bet is likely to happen
cazalla: so now he has to go to shareholders and tell them, at least i assume so
Vexual: i don't think zt needs it tho
cazalla: i wonder if zt will just buy back the domain from new owner
Vexual: i thought they were supposed to float a few weeks back?
Vexual: i read the anual report tho
