asciilifeform: (items like $3k laptops where the screen cracks two weeks after purchase, and THEY WON'T TAKE IT BACK, are why. that kind of thing is not forgotten, not forgiven. if the alternative were not microshit, apple would already be dead.)
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: laugh but i have personally witnessed hobos with iphone.
asciilifeform: ~this~ is the racket apple would like to roll up
asciilifeform: but there are folks who know how to change the glass, and it is inexpensive; hell, i did it myself for a few personal friends back in the day
asciilifeform: now, what you often ~will~ see is folks, esp. females, playing with iphone ~with cracked glass~. this tells you that a) almost certainly owner got it 'via contract', which is to say as a slave collar from the telco; and b) cannot remotely afford to pay the thing's retail price to replace it
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-09-2015#1270278 << mircea_popescu appears to have slept through the total obliteration of whatever 'premium' status ipNohe had. i often go into town on weekends on the train. there is literally no one too ragged, too ethnic, whatever, to be playing with apple gadget, often more than one. literally, stinking bums have'em, and had for years.☝︎
asciilifeform: then again jurov is fortunate in not being personally concerned with this matter, just as eagle does not concern himself with muddy roads...☟︎
asciilifeform: jurov: that is, you can still find one with brain installed, but it has to be naturally-occurring. which, sure, go and wait for the natural fission reactor. THERE IS ONE ! geologists found it! somewhere in africa.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-09-2015#1270083 << l0l mircea_popescu, everybody knows (tm) that metansa would never contain something so pedestrian as a report-writer, much less one who interfaced with something as boring as a politician. it is 100% people who break rsa, devise single-transistor backdoors to plant in intel, devise 'natural disease mimicking' poisons, etc.☝︎
asciilifeform: e.g., the very same mulisp discussed in the 'derive.exe' thread; 'dream' (x86 and later x86_64 scheme implementation;) and others
asciilifeform: b) plenty of lisps, of various descriptions, mainly but not exclusively 'scheme' implementations, written in 100% asm from the ground
asciilifeform: 2) sbcl and other adult commonlisps a) use c version for bootstrapping, which is to say, compiling self to a legit 100% self-shat executable --- but they will link with libc for unix terminal i/o, sockets, etc
asciilifeform: 1) you will never see 'lisp on python' outside of a school classroom
asciilifeform: plot of trotskyite wreckerz! (tm) (r)
asciilifeform: 'The stated goal of the attacks was to derail the “revival of the American economy,” NBC reported.'
asciilifeform: 'Tomorrow’s test will not occur as planned. CoinWallet.eu will not be sending a single transaction. Instead, we will be giving away over 200 Bitcoins to the community. Previous tests have involved splitting bitcoins into hundreds of thousands of tiny outputs. Now, as a gift to the community, all of the private keys that contain those outputs will be posted publicly, making the coins free for the taking. ' << l0l
asciilifeform: but then it was also largely idiot dust collectors doing the heavy lifting
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: except then it was to brainwallets (using the classical hash algo) with words like 'password'
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: they did almost exactly this last time
asciilifeform: '"She was awful to me ... you know, just constantly being made to feel that I wasn't good enough, constantly being made to feel that I was missing things, that I was lazy, that I was stupid," she said.' << i suppose au no longer needs surgeons who are not lazy, stupid
