asciilifeform: how many mega-magnates with 0 business with the crown, tho
mircea_popescu: without exception they're fraud in public funds, afaik.
asciilifeform: dunno that all of the publicized 'corruption' trials have this trivial explanation, 'didn't pass the bakshish up the chain'
mircea_popescu: if you do, it'd also be wise to pay up, none of this is particularly controversial.
mircea_popescu: you don't have to take teh govt's money if you dun want to.
mircea_popescu: it actually has a pretty close approximation of the "unreviewable source" principle, too.
asciilifeform: if contemplating 'who is actual country' based solely on where the yet-untungstenated physical au lives, possibly only cn is now 'country'.
mircea_popescu: next coinbase is going to be a bitcoin bank, what are we doing here ?
mircea_popescu: so if it was the pile of wealth that "bent space and time", you'd have had swiss cucks cca 1810, rather than have them provide vatican guards as the respectable manly troop the us marine core tried to copy.
asciilifeform: how's panama doing these days.
mircea_popescu: anyway, point being : the relative proportion of wealth stored there actually diminished throughout 19th and 20th centuries.
mircea_popescu: didn't make that much dsifference, they were small.
asciilifeform: just like it was for the swedes
asciilifeform: being a piece of europe not wrecked at all by the war, was mega-boost
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the problem with that view being that in bitcoin terms, swiss piles of money were lowest after ww2.
mircea_popescu: i don't. i'm satisfied there's just idiocy of the "consensus seeking" nature involved, no more.
asciilifeform: gigantic pile of money tears spacetime and creates modern-swiss.
asciilifeform: but i suspect there are 'physical limits' involved
mircea_popescu: and they didn't do too badly with it.
asciilifeform: theoretically, the swiss were this at one time
mircea_popescu: curious if anyone actually raises up to the challenges of their time.
mircea_popescu: there's rather pregnant demand for a country with a constitution specifically forbidding "provenance" verifications. put a pecunia non olet clause, win ~all the remaining capital.
asciilifeform: rumour has it, usg made 'offer' to various ru exiles; those who refused to put coin in the piggy, now 'have problems'.
mircea_popescu: you don't understand how the world works.
asciilifeform: last iirc abramovich was still there.
mircea_popescu: well... in that case they long ago sold.
asciilifeform: but to play the bubble
mircea_popescu: i can't think of a worse clime.
asciilifeform: dunno that they bought-to-live
mircea_popescu: i have nfi who in his right mind would buy to live in london.
asciilifeform: no word so far on what the brits will do when they discover that the 'sticker prices' for the golden toilets are a work of '2 old jews and their painting' fiction , and ~worthless on market ☟︎
asciilifeform: esp that of idiot 'oligarchs' from ru who thought that they could happily live to old age in the enemy's camp
asciilifeform: in other lulz, http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2016-17/criminalfinances.html >> brits prepare to 're-investigate where the money came from' for all posh properties in london etc and confiscate if 'unclean'
a111: Logged on 2017-05-20 15:25 danielpbarron: and for those curious, here's what lynx adds >> http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/odgWG/?raw=true
asciilifeform: either that or the lynx thing
mod6: ya, was thinking that myself. could have been something else weird, but he seemed to update to V99994 and then been able to get past the issue.
mircea_popescu: also can't wait for the brand new http://trilema.com/wp-content/themes/trilema/images/antifa.gif marine corps.
mircea_popescu: dude the us is practically a solid block of comedy gold these days.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-30 05:49 trinque: "omg you can't do this to *me*" on all sides of the day's nonsense.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-30 05:37 trinque: http://sanangelolive.com/news/live-thought/2017-05-27/group-disregards-history-tirade-against-sam-houston << Channel 2 (NBC) in Houston reports there will be a counter-protest over the statue by open carry groups. Channel 2 quotes the vice president of Texas Open Carry David Amad, "Our event is to make sure they understand that one way or another that statue is not going anywhere."
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-30#1663055 << that was amusing enough. ☝︎
asciilifeform: ty mod6 for putting in the sweat.
asciilifeform: there may be other bsd folx , gritting teeth
asciilifeform: but if mod6 comes up with a recipe, i would like to include it in the manual.
asciilifeform: FG transmits at 115200,1,noparity, and this is readily verifiable by anyone with an oscilloscope and eyes, or with linux box, or dos box. i will not be taking responsibility for every broken os on the planet.
mod6: this issue seems completely unrelated to FG.
mod6: don't bother for now, just stick with whatever else you were doin'. I don't wanna get you off on a side-quest for this.
asciilifeform: ... or i could let the bsd aficionados take on this chore.
asciilifeform: though it ~does~ have a serial port , on the docking cradle (it's a 'toshiba libretto'), and perhaps i could dust it off
mod6: ok, np. i'll dig into it later. we'll get to the bottom of it. just some weird config deal.
mod6: or am I reading that wrong?
mod6: to turn off flow control
mod6: with OpenBSD, looks like I'll need to try (via http://man.openbsd.org/stty.1) '-crtscts' ☟︎
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2017/hela-matter/ << Trilema - HeLa Matter!
asciilifeform: i encountered this nonsense when i built my very first prototype rng, iirc mircea_popescu even turned the resulting dialogue into a whole post on his www
asciilifeform: and the output is unusable because now skewed
asciilifeform: if you don't disable flow control ( in-band idiocy ) the os nukes the terminal whenever it encounters magic char
asciilifeform: and hah, i think we nailed the problem pete_dushenski had
asciilifeform: however if your system fails to set 115200 baud ( and on every box i have here, it is the default baud rate, HOWEVER you MUST turn off flow control )
mod6: ok will try later for sure.
asciilifeform: but ought to work in general today
mod6: i was actually reading through `dd` (openbsd) impl yesterday.. -.-
mod6: ok, if `cat` won't pad, or do any weird buffer hijinks, then i'll give it a shot.
mod6: or how I'm trying to read from the serial
mod6: asciilifeform: yup. just, openbsd with the config I was talking about yesterday didn't hit that. im sure it's just something on the openbsd side, ie. my configuration.
asciilifeform: mod6: i investigated , under most unixen it is safe to use 'cat'
mod6: ALSO, forgot to mention, that openbsd `dd` doesn't have a 'fullblock' iflag or whatever, so that needs to be looked at a bit too
asciilifeform: mod6: ~7 is the rated output at room temperature
asciilifeform: if you have your serial port set to anything else, you are getting crud !! and not entropic crud, either
asciilifeform: ftr , for people who refuse to read the source : FUCKGOATS emits at 115200 baud STRICTLY!!!
a111: Logged on 2017-05-30 14:37 mod6: asciilifeform, pete_dushenski, et. al. I noticed the slowness of reading from the USB-TTL too. i had mine set to read at 115200 baud or whatever, but still was only pretty slow. i don't have any metrics off hand.
mod6: trinque & ben_vulpes : thanks for helping CluelessNoob.
mod6: can get some later. maybe need to change the baud setting, or even something different.

jhvh1: shinohai: The operation succeeded.
shinohai: !~later tell CluelessNoob http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-30#1663126 <<< Tiene razon ben_vulpes, con gusto te ayudare entender el valor de eso y mas. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-05-29 23:15 asciilifeform: well, d00dz who don't bother to figure out, how many joules of light even hit the 'garden', even supposing more than a few % ended up in food...
jurov: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-29#1662980 << a glaring plothole in "the martian" and his potatoes, too ☝︎
ben_vulpes: probably nouveau getting a grip on the device first according to dmesg
ben_vulpes: trinque: this card may be old enough that i need a funky version of nvidia-drivers
trinque: latter expands to "in /lib/firmware" or "in initurd"
trinque: dmesg reports nvidia kernel turds all loaded?
ben_vulpes: in other memorial daze, this gentoo box comes up but i cannot get x to recognize the screen
ben_vulpes: esta bien, trabajas mucho y no es que malo
ben_vulpes: i think that conjugation is right...
CluelessNoob: asciilifeform.asc asciilifeform.asc.foo ben_vulpes.asc mircea_popescu.asc mod6.asc trinque.asc
CluelessNoob: utilizado trilema.com
trinque: y que estas en ~/.seals en tu computadora
CluelessNoob: si, tan un poco
ben_vulpes elbows trinque in the ribs
trinque: sperm allergy is factually a thing.
ben_vulpes: both before and after injection of the lovin' spoonful
ben_vulpes: strictly speaking masculinity is pretty toxic, can trigger an immune reaction
trinque: that's your toxic masculinity assuming she wanted to comprende.
ben_vulpes: clearly asked too many questions, overloaded the clooqueue
ben_vulpes: also curious to know if you are following instructions from thebitcoin.foundation or what
pete_dushenski: also, check that there are no weird characters imported into your files, which can happen depending on whether you used cat or curl or whatever CluelessNoob
ben_vulpes: CluelessNoob: please to paste results of using gpg to verify patch in question against signature in question
pete_dushenski: CluelessNoob: where did you get the keys from ?
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: hitting the hay. will endeavour to get you hexdump output soon.
