chetty: brendafdez, just point the guy to MP article, save everyone a lot of time (after you get your free lunch of course)
brendafdez: Well, if I ever get into the adware business I'll package it as a 'miner' and sponsor bitcoin conferences, no doubt
BingoBoingo: This superfish thing lenovois installing though now, looks like a different, worse beast.
brendafdez: Having the adware preinstalled sort of spares the user the time and ensures they get a consistent experience with a box compromised from the get go. It's an integral part of the user experience, they wouldn't feel right without the bloat and the ads. ☟︎
brendafdez: Last time was also Pete from Coindesk, he interviewed all the poeple claiming to run 'exchanges' here. There are a huge numer of such 'exchanges', most of which don't even exist like coinmelon (refered to by mp as coinmuon bc of the sign at the doorbell). Then there's Latincoin, which is also there athe 'embassy' and also doesn't even exist and is only piching to 'investors' to get money with no product. Last time they were asking for $7 ☟︎
brendafdez: I didn't ask him what move him. He's very interested in 'seeing the black market in action'. They see it in an amusing light, as if that's a bad thing or something, like going around the city with stacks of cash. And that's actually the closest it gets to bitcoin in fiat.
BingoBoingo: <jurov> and use cnc machine with spool of thin wire to make IC out of it with point-contact transistor? << Now that I'm more sober laser etching saphire to flow a conductor over doesn'r sound so bad.
brendafdez: I'll be seeing a journalist from the NYT today, I was thinking of telling him about b-a
punkman: a look inside a parmesan vault https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BZEy6dSY6Q
cazalla: ppi was only good for sites for which it was a bit of a grey area to use adsense
punkman: cazalla, the pay-per-install stuff always seemed like a bad deal to me, did it work for you?
cazalla: <punkman> I knew a guy that had a couple browser toolbars/plugins that replaced ads. He made $500-1000 per day for quite a while. <<< i use to get something like $1 per install from pinball publisher
punkman: this might be fun "Comingle.io’s Firaz Peer and Andrew Quitmeyer are developing the prototype for the Electric Eel, a condom that has conductive leads embedded in it for small jolts of stimulation"
punkman: I knew a guy that had a couple browser toolbars/plugins that replaced ads. He made $500-1000 per day for quite a while.
punkman: there's a lot of malware that just replaces ads on google/facebook/etc
assbot: A Document Blockchain Stamping Service | stampd.io ... ( http://bit.ly/1E8hmzf )
decimation: http://stampd.io/ << someone made a silly-con valley-ized deedbot
BingoBoingo: RGIII was indeed the physical equivalent of a -CURRENT branch until... his knees
mircea_popescu: bus driver with person that just got on, that they never met before ? fuck traffic, they're only doing 60 mph in the middle of town in a sardine box.
mircea_popescu: "Go to a gym, for example, and see how few of the dozens of men and women there are actually talking to each other." who the fuck wants to talk to some guy in a gym wtf.
mircea_popescu: "When a man sees another man he doesn’t know, there isn’t usually that studied indifference. If you look at the guy, he’ll look at you back, and it’s obvious from his body language that he knows you exist and you could talk to him if you wanted to."
mircea_popescu: hard my foot, ask the same people a useful question instead of a dumb one.
mircea_popescu: but no, why make a study that makes sense but doesn't support our chosen policy nonsense.
mircea_popescu: a) the difference is not even significantly above statistical noise ; b) significant fudge, such as, "women are more likely to self-flatter themselves this particular way" not accounted for in ANY manner.
mircea_popescu: "The results were overwhelming: 88 percent of women reported having experienced at least one incident in which their friendliness was misinterpreted as sexual interest by a man, and on average it had occurred about 3.5 times in the last year alone. Men also reported experiencing sexual misperception, but the rate — 70.6 percent — was far lower. These rates were pretty similar to what was found in the original, U.S.
asciilifeform: when you are discussing a particular bullet fired by the enemy, rather than enemy per se, you may safely assume that it is not intelligent, and thus is the cock of particular rather than universal thread.
asciilifeform: the ancient ru proverb re: 'for every sly arse, there's a threaded cock' is the relevant one
mircea_popescu: decimation generally, as opposed to a speciffic one.
mircea_popescu: this is a very importanrt point, alf made for qntra but generally gets neglected. "diddling" is a VERY assumptive operation.
asciilifeform: decimation: a diddled die of 100 gates in a tiled matrix will do what, exactly ? ☟︎
BingoBoingo: alf finds this a mystery wonder why library school sucks
asciilifeform: if using products of existing industry, i'd use something like a 'GAL' (on bare die also)
decimation: asciilifeform: are you imagining a little array of naked die transistors, being bonded by a robot?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: arbitrarily fine placement is mainly a question of the guidance optics
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> well die transistors autoplaced is prolly about on par with making yourself a 3d gun that works. << Mosin, never lost to itself
mircea_popescu: well die transistors autoplaced is prolly about on par with making yourself a 3d gun that works.
BingoBoingo: File this in reasons I did not make a nubrub for my OBSD bitcoin-qt build
mircea_popescu: just sayin, you know ? could prolly be made in a box, if one felt like placing 100k items by hand. if he works 8 hours a day at this, it won't take 10 years.
asciilifeform: if it's of the kind one can individually hold in a hand, they are quite the same
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the 2 gram shits i had as a kid ?
mircea_popescu: a pdp could probably be cloned today by hand in a finite timespan, fit in box.
decimation: I would be interested if you could feel a blank pcb and a pile of random parts into a machine, press the magic button, and pop out an assembled board
asciilifeform: usually it's folks who own a mill anyway.
asciilifeform: when lacking a cnc mill, definitely easier...
decimation: re: milled pcb < I wonder if they would be a pain in the ass to solder
asciilifeform: decimation: milling's usually done in a specially-designated place regardless
asciilifeform: when you have a cnc mill but don't feel like screwing with photography
decimation: there are a few cnc machines marketed for this purpose
asciilifeform: it is a fairly popular method for making small/simple pcb
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: funnily: diametric, i think, might be making a pcb this way as we speak
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: you can't draw a circuit on a sheet of copper with nonconductive glue either... << don't oppress my genius! if you CUT the copper and the substrate is Conveniently Chosen (TM) it might work!
decimation: if you like hurting people, become a surgeon
decimation: there is a funny thing about 'professions'. if you like to kill animals, being a vet is a great idea
asciilifeform: decimation: even if napoleon wrote that 'every soldier's knapsack must contain a fieldmarshall's baton', not everyone can be fieldmarshal
decimation: if I were a psychiatrist I would be all about treating 'needy' suburbanites rather than being part of the urban internal security service
decimation: yeah 'overdiagnosis' is probably a problem too
BingoBoingo: <decimation> I would bet that if you asked the parents of the non-vaccinated, they would say that they want to 'prevent autism' << For a period of time my parents thought they autism'd me with vaccines
asciilifeform: to go with the plague thread - it was meant to be a summary, of sorts, of the pathology;
BingoBoingo: I have a right to kill all with fire
danielpbarron: "but i have a right to go shopping even when i'm contagious!"
BingoBoingo: <danielpbarron> i think a better solution is to hide sick people away, checking in on them every week and not letting them return to society until the illness is gone << You forget water is one dirty bitch
mike_c: the vaccine isn't 100%. i'm not that crazy about it though. i figure a few more outbreaks and this no-vaccince fad will go away quickly.
danielpbarron: i think a better solution is to hide sick people away, checking in on them every week and not letting them return to society until the illness is gone
trinque: two generations out of a high child mortality rate and people think they're bulletproof
BingoBoingo: <hanbot> oh get out. << Chickenpox, fuck it. Measles, I'll take a 25% return on bitches knocked up
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> fuck this country. << Pls tell me you have a Mosin
BingoBoingo: Serious gambling talk though. Greater than 1:100 odds unvaccinated against measles kids are going to get brain damage. Encephalitis is a bitch.
decimation: and was still considered a miracle
decimation: do you have a number for 'high chance'
danielpbarron: and a general distrust of anything medicine in the USSA
decimation: as long as you have a 'health expense'
decimation: ben_vulpes: yeah the high deductible/hsa hack is a good deal
ben_vulpes: i suppose loss cost goes down as a function of herd size
ben_vulpes: give it three years i won't be able to get the hypothetical children on a plane because the measles risk from unvaccinated retards is too high.
ben_vulpes: and a dog.
mircea_popescu: he's got a woman.
BingoBoingo: ;; later tell PeterL : <mircea_popescu> PeterL: and I hate the question "how much did your last job pay, and what do you expect to get paid"? << "A lot of money, and I am open for an excellent offer." << Sigma charges $336/gram for blow... get in on that shit.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: that's a hack?! lol
mircea_popescu: PeterL: and I hate the question "how much did your last job pay, and what do you expect to get paid"? << "A lot of money, and I am open for an excellent offer."
mircea_popescu: come to b-a to share your tax shelter glory, leave a sad, broken man.
ben_vulpes: this healthcare thing is a shitshow but i think i found the hack
BingoBoingo: VB to MSSQL MADE ME FEEL like a polish jew
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: How else do you disarm a population than by feedint its replacements shit and making them love it?
asciilifeform: if you don't have your $185k, you can't vote, because you are literally a bum << i've never seen, felt, smelled, 185k and don't expect to live to
BingoBoingo: At this moment I am convinced that even in the absence of a crypto exploit for multisig the PR campaign persists to standardize a set of worst practices as "ISO"
BingoBoingo: OMG mircea_popescu and chomsky sitting in a tree s-o-d-o M I E
BingoBoingo: i.e. Actual bum on the street who racks up 15 millions in US deficit via ER frequent flying gets a trophy.
BingoBoingo: decimation> that should be the bar for voting - if you don't have your $185k, you can't vote, because you are literally a bum << Maybe there should be trophies for certain people who inflicted directly and personally more than that damage on the fiat system without being politicos?
decimation: that should be the bar for voting - if you don't have your $185k, you can't vote, because you are literally a bum
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> and who among us (other than possibly mircea_popescu) would not rather do something involving a pdp-8 than what they did today. << I was more concerned with the 'actual' smells.
asciilifeform: and who among us (other than possibly mircea_popescu) would not rather do something involving a pdp-8 than what they did today.
asciilifeform: not compared to what i do for a living at any rate.
asciilifeform: and yes, unix is pretty good for a pdp-8, but unix is ultimately braindamaged when compared to what is possible.
asciilifeform: last thing i'll say about this for now is that it is a grave mistake to rebuild these starvation-camp machines as 'dawn of year zero.' these impossibly cramped programmable calculators are how we ended up with a braindamaged computing stack in the first place
BingoBoingo: <trinque> I'm running at about a block every 45sec to 1:30 on 339018 << Are you really sure you want to be using btcd instead of bitcoind then? November 2013 was the most brutal month I've sync'd so far this round and no where near that bad on this wimpy machine
asciilifeform: if i lost xx btc by tripping over a cord, or the like, last thing i'd think to do is to publicly 'brag'
BingoBoingo: oposed Burning Man style festival centered around 1 Acre "ASIC" with a goal of at least 1 h/s. Gained insufficient traction.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> jurov: z80 is closer to teletype than to any modern cpu << again nope. here's a suggested exercise for everyone: take the z80 (find a die shot or whatever) and zoom it out to make the transistors discrete. how much physical space will this occupy? how many tonnes of copper wire? how many hundreds kWatt of power used? for chillers? << Sometime in 2013 on Tardstalk to celebrate advent of the "ASIC Age" I drunkenly pr

asciilifeform: it isn't a question of 'takes longer', but of simply-never-happens
