phf: PSA: btcbase is going to be
down for half hour, tomorrow 2018-02-21 sometime between 19:00 to 20:30
mircea_popescu: the sum total of "internet users" from the "informatrion superhighway" who sat
down at any point since 2016 going "hmm... i wonder what my opinion of this hanno bock character should be. let's do some research..." is, rounded to the closest integer, zero.
mircea_popescu: but, for his wasted "coin", back in a day before coin was even invented, yet wots still existed, mp also knows as a factual, rather than guessed matter, what all is
down that road.
mircea_popescu: you're abusing time exactly like random housewife abuses benzedrine, and to shockingly similar results. apparently the quality of input meat reflects in the exoticism of the substance chosen, not at all in the path taken
down adiction tobogan.
mircea_popescu: in other news : as work on eucrypt is winding
down -- the whole item is just about complete, needs serpent and we've decided to add an oaep-rsa wrapper (mostly as a pretext to do some ada-c interop testing), so roughly speaking by end of month it should actually be done -- we're moving on to shaping up the eulora client-server comms model. this will mostly be a design discussion, will take place in #eulora, prolly take up som
mircea_popescu: like, the bill for the use of a hotel room is made up of a) the opportunity cost (what that room would have made if not given to you but to another) and b) the indemnity cost (ie, what all you wore
down, ruined, stained and destroyed in there)
mod6: <+trinque> I don't think now's the time for that. lest rustled jimmies, not more. << Ok, well let me know if you want to. I'm ready to step
down and take my leave of all of this.
trinque: I recall one time I got pissy and tripled
down on political strife over nothing.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-14 17:48 ben_vulpes: i have one 1U slot open in my next courier run to .uy, if anyone wants their machine couriered
down speak NOW or i'm going to fill it with a box of my choice
mod6: These scammers just keep doubling
down, huh.
ben_vulpes: i have one 1U slot open in my next courier run to .uy, if anyone wants their machine couriered

☟︎ mod6: mircea_popescu: I'd like to see S.NSA's equipment come
down to .uy and be also a customer.

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-12#1783439 << this thread puts much in perspective. In all my arguments with socialist aquaintances, it always seems like it boils
down to "well, if there's failure that just means we haven't tried xyz magical configuration of policies yet!". I.e. "goal posts" can be moved ad infinitum (in their eyes, that is)
a111: Logged on 2018-01-25 17:25 mircea_popescu: hmm, where the hell is the place where i say the father's responsibility to his daughter is to shove a pound of raw prime beef
down her throat every day and naught else ?
mod6: ok maybe bot is
down.
diana_coman: phf I think what is actually shutting
down the operation is a. lack of someone capable & willing to take it in hand i.e. provide very detailed instructions to BingoBoingo b. fuzziness as to what operation there really is atm + what operation can actually be had at the location
phf: TomServo: it's critical only in a sense that the immediate opportunity was squandered, but right now most important is to provide bb with enough fiat to stay afloat, next requirement is to provide bb with enough fiat to pay dc fees, because those two are the ones that are going to shut
down the operation
mod6: BingoBoingo: how much revenue was going to be pulled
down by non-vps customers per month? The foundation had said "we want 2U", so that accounts for us.

☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: "here are the numbers written
down". that's how this goes.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: That isn't anything to sell. You would be financing BingoBoingo's increasingly uncertain adventure. Or coming
down here personally meeting BingoBoingo and seeing if Latecho will transfer the contract to you before the end of February.
shinohai: Thanks for clarification, I haven't gotten this deep
down the rabbit hole with mine yet but looking forward.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-08 22:33 trinque: stocks
down, bond yields up, and meanwhile congress just passed some gigantic expansion of the budget

☟︎ phf: i reread chronicles about a year ago, "properly" this time by tracking
down the entire set in pulp
lobbes: Bonus lulz if it did not, in fact, flush and next bathroom patron had a not-so-pleasant suprise upon looking
down ben_vulpes: binance, an altcoin exchange with no representation in the forum, is
down ben_vulpes: so anyone who can't get materiel to phf by takeoff may talk to me about hauling machines
down south. i expect folks to cover freight, pitch in on the trip costs, and guarantee reimbursement for VAT/IVA should it be levied at the airport.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: aha, specifics not nailed
down yet
mircea_popescu: so : there are four types of sea turtle known in costa rica. 1. eretmochelys imbricata, besides being VERY rare (critically endangered, too) has a beak, which the little guy lacks ; 2. chelonia mydas as far as anyone knows lives in tortuguero natl park, which is on the wrong side of the country (limon, vs this was if memory serves some miles
down from jaco) ; 3. lepidochelis olivacea, besides not looking anything like that af
mircea_popescu: i dunno, dumb cunts at an age they're barely worth selling by open outcry somehow hallucinated for themselves this role whereby they sit their ass
down and the world brings them shit for their evaluation.
mircea_popescu: but i lost my 2nd pair of slippers, through the procedure of sit
down in car, forget to pick them up. i guess im buying a half dozen next.
BingoBoingo: Also next trip I am bringing a measuring tape. The hash marks go up to 20 in the middle of the cage before counting
down again. I assume this means a 39 or 40 inch deep cabinet, but will measure myself to confirm.
ben_vulpes: what, they heat up, crack their pcbs, shut
down. run your fans, this won't be a problem.
mircea_popescu: take something like
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-06#1782012 : if you did actyually put 4 to the mobo, as they theoretically can suffer, and somehow stuffed all this in 1U, and attempted to put 40 such units at half a kW each inside one rack, i'd fully expect the whole thing melting
down within the hour. not even water can take out 20KJ/s out of a (stationary) rack. we're talking like, car engine sorta coolings by now.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it eats 125W and has 4 power-
down steppings. how much can it heat.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-08 03:29 mircea_popescu: ex of 1B documents. Then our cost comes
down to $12M/yr." << this danluu piece is the most idiotic thing i read all day. what the fuck has "cloud" done to these people that they think a 1bn index cost A MILLION A MONTH holy shit.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-06#1782057 << the principal difference being that other than holding
down a high responsibility tech job with a significant on-call component, ~the woman~ is also raising a child. with the flu and everything. yet somehow her shit is still dribbling out on thursdays, today as nine weeks ago.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: seems to me a bad deal to trade 4ghz
down to 3 in exchange for 16 cores instead of 8. contrary to all the hubbub, "multithreading" isn't nearly that working in practice.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> aww poor bb lost weight! how you holding up
down there ? << It beats the US, but the better my spanish gets the less impressed I am with the locals.
mircea_popescu: this is like saying "chair knows enough to roll
down a grade". mmkay ?
mircea_popescu: not differtent disease at all. it's just that in libertard worldview, king of myanmar is a step
down for widow of indistinct army colonel.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just put everything in a state he doesn't have to fuck with, he's got no torture room
down there.
mircea_popescu: ifconfig goes from eth0 all the way
down to eth0:32 on A SINGLE BOX. that's a /27 range.
phf: hey, i'm
down for a free vacation, but i'm not convinced that the costs work out in our favour
mircea_popescu: i think since we're doing this let's do it right, so get it an 8 cable card all sat
down. what boards were these i forget ?
ben_vulpes: i live in possibly one of the worst places to travel from, but i've got two servers for the foundation sitting on my office floor i gotta get
down there as well, so if asciilifeform's rotrip delay is that much sand in the gears i can make the run to uruguay
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The beard was longer before the trendy Latino haircut. Then I had to take it
down to match.
mod6: my first inclination is to cut
down as many attack vectors as possible. real or imagined. the imaginary ones can be rooted out through a bit of thinking / conversation with intelligent folks.
mp_en_viaje: this is the priority nao, get the rack filled proper with actualy used and useful boxen, not bogged
down with scar tissue
mp_en_viaje: i do not want ANYTHING
down the protected mode tree. i want the real mode tree continued. update it for wider busses.
mp_en_viaje: phf, there is such a thing as a snatcher, and such a thing as a pickpocket. though... social behaviours serve social purposes. "it's dangerous!!!" for instance works very well for selection. anecdote : ro consul introduced pretty girl, intern at embassy. over sushi she confessed her unimpressment in local boys, "i was walking
down candeleria and these dorks were lke o no, it's gotten dark, it's dangerous and soon enough made themselves scarce. wel...
phf: oh yeah, but again, slowed
down, because of analog regulations. 5 years or so you had all these labs popping up, tweaking common chemicals (like ketamine into methoxetamine)
phf: i don't remember specific designators, a g3 ibook that was a hand me
down when i was poor and just came to this country, a g4 powerbook that i bought since it was "last model to run os 9", a wallstreet that someone game recently (i like the "my name is the plague" kind of feel to it, but have no use for it)
ben_vulpes: also US shale producers "walking and chewing gum" at the same time; many squeezed operations
down into productivity despite opec production increase and still managed to borrow and open up more reserves
mircea_popescu: they talked so fucking fast I HAD TO TELL THEM TO SLOW
DOWN FOR ME! I!!!
mod6: Just was thinking I'd be/foundation would probably be happy to purchase 4 from whatever gets shipped
down to bb.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that he eventually wants to have the infrastructure
down there for his own boxen
mod6: i'd be fine with the ones that are alreday
down there though.
mod6: I wanna send like 4
down there.
mircea_popescu: phf the actual trick i use to force a "no, go
down obv branch" is by prepending a "you know" or whatever. but, sure.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Burns
down box leaves less to confirm by reading failROM
a111: Logged on 2018-01-23 07:11 mircea_popescu: actually, hanbot is about to genesis mp-wp, you're more than welcome to help
down with the paring
down effort of that, if you want. mostly php.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu>
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-25#1776346 << i suspect his idea is "ideally, nothing". in any case foundation has not managed to keep up with the rest of the pie despite periodic prodding. << hmm. well whatever it is we do, I spend a lot of time doing it. happy to shut it
down if it's not needed any more.
☝︎ NoSatoshisHear: John Does
down the stack... Pseudonymity is the way to go, don't hide, drown in excess data... Lol, go for it Palantir
a111: Logged on 2018-01-25 21:19 NoSatoshisHear: so, I may make a fun shitcoin for lulz. I like the hellcoin idea. The block gets awarded to the last 10 suckers^h^h^h^h^h miners that put a "realcoin" into the chain. We start at $100 and let people "mine" with coins, last 10 when the timer ticks
down get the block.

☟︎ NoSatoshisHear: was pretty cool getting to be in the architect meeting. They introduced the FU chip in 2004 as a seperate processor. I so voted it
down. It sounded like a spy chip and it was.
mircea_popescu: hmm, where the hell is the place where i say the father's responsibility to his daughter is to shove a pound of raw prime beef
down her throat every day and naught else ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: well, actually, they risk being shaken
down for not doing it.
mircea_popescu: orderly wound
down. which in itself is a feat in this space.
