BingoBoingo: Brb, going to invade
a once outlaw culture and see if there is still any rebellion there or if it all got taken over by pussies
BingoBoingo: ^ Only
a few hours left to bid in this month's Pizarro auction
mircea_popescu: in other news, i've made such chicken shorba
a la grec as was never seen in the new world. off to partake.

a large family, or 5 roommates (+ their poorer, semi permanently present partners). they have small-ish backyards, where you can have
a small coup

☟︎ phf: asciilifeform: it's
a thing in san francisco apparently, saw it in two different tech komunalkas
phf: diana_coman: my great-grandparents were all moved into the city by the time i was
a grownup, they could only recall the olden days, not really demonstrate them
phf: diana_coman: heh, the chicken in
a fur hat story was passed on in my family also
phf: this one is gost 280-2009, i'm not
a visual machine at the moment to track it down though
phf: asciilifeform: i've noticed that with some of the products here,
a lot of them have GoST as
a kind of branding, since i suspect it's barely regulated, but the quality of substandard.
phf: there's
a dozen of different brands for both, i'll have to sample them all until i figure out the most authentic flavor
lobbes: yeah, on second thought ambiguity in
a language is not really
a good thing huh
lobbes wonders if this is actually
a bug in the english language. Closest word I could think of to denote both "to/by" was "via", but that does not really work in this case
lobbes: (for the curious: I had overlooked the fact that when
a "buy" type auction ends the usual messaging (e.g. "...Item SOLD to Person for...") had to change to reflect this (i.e. had to change it to "...Item SOLD --by-- Person for..."))
lobbes: I just made
a tiny fix to auctionbot. Everything seems to be working well and I don't anticipate any problems. Still, I'll be around for the rest of today in case there are.

a soviet spy, but not because of the ppsh machinepistol clumsily slung across his shoulder, and not because of the parachute he dragged behind him, but because of the maker tag on his waistcoat, 'bolshevikess', which in typical russian slopiness had not been torn off.'
BingoBoingo: China's already talking with aggression. No archive links to English language publications for misrepresenting the abduction as
a kidnapping across the board.
mats: i also expect to have no issues acquiring
a tw passport, and will be available for republican business if its asked of me
mats: after some false starts, i've made arrangements to briefly return to hk in the spring and begin the process to acquire
a permanent id card, after applying for the right to abode, which should have no issues as i was born there
mats: my apologies for the delayed report. i attempted the esp8266 experiment with
a rigol ds1054z, only to discover the standard probe isn't sensitive enough
a111: Logged on 2013-11-16 18:59 mircea_popescu: "I am an executive assistant by profession, but I have worked as
a stripper and escort in the US."
BingoBoingo: Beaches in Montevideo get plowed, but not nightly. Salto's not much of
a beach town. More of
a hot springs town. On the Uruguay river rather than the big one
mircea_popescu: from, eg, someone who had
a fucking clue about medieval history AT ALL.
a111: Logged on 2018-12-01 23:41 asciilifeform: i'm prolly the wrong fella to do it tho, very much not unbiased, i'll still like the character even if time machine supplies incontrovertible proof that he was
a cannibal and ate hot chix erry morning for breakfast
a111: Logged on 2018-11-05 16:27 mircea_popescu: amusingly enough, there's actually two distinguishable pantsuit trends to this day,
a mystagogical cvasi-elitism spawned from boas and
a mechanicistic mammie-ism visibly spawned off dewey.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-23 22:14 asciilifeform: there's
a reason they try to set up 'fucked 17yo' for these, it is
a kind of gold standard, rather like the old 'trotskyite counter-revolutionary activity', tends to put
a cork in all discussion in derposphere by harnessing the healthy hatred for podesta-style pedo, insta-alchemizes accusation into 'guilt', etc
mircea_popescu: man, reading ye olde trilemas is such
a pleasure. really amassed over the years.
l0de: spoken by
a sad little man

a media publication. our power and capital comes from the number of visitors we have to the site. we aim to transform through culture. if normal people cannot visit our site we are not accomplishing our goal
anniez: that was
a struggle -_-
ben_vulpes: typically
a quiet desperate plea for more than three neurons that flash when rubbed against each other. it's rare! desirable! easier to say you want it and pray the filter works than to go out and filter.
mircea_popescu: "oh let's make more steel". not much of
a plan, india makes most ofg the world's steel today and nobody cares.
mircea_popescu: younger scholars picked up on Brezhnev's growing popularity among certain members of the Russian population. These people remembered with fondness Brezhnev's alleviation of their or their parents' poverty,
a relief made all the more striking by the extreme impoverishment experienced by many in the post-Soviet era. This reassessment may appear unwarranted to those who prize political liberty above marginal increments in materi
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in other lulz, here's anglopedia official sendoff on brejnev : "For Gorbachev and his adherents, Brezhnev came to personify everything that was wrong with the Soviet regime. The popularity of Gorbachev's program among Western specialists, and the interest generated by the new leader's dynamism after the boring stasis of Brezhnev's later years, precluded
a reappraisal of Brezhnev's career until 2002, when
a group of
mircea_popescu: "who can tell the difference" amirite, "
a cell's
a cell!"
mircea_popescu: aaanyway, kinda why they are corpse maggots, the "culture war" schmucktards : they ~only exist on corpses, the whole "code of conduct" / "trasnrights" / blabla is
a necrosis epiphenomenon
BingoBoingo: In other news, how nice is it the USG shut itself down today for
a celebration of the day I got on an airplane.
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: one's
a four-month period and the other
a three-, does the hosting subscription start
a month before the rockchip?
ben_vulpes: and yet steam engine needs
a governor asciilifeform; factories gotta crank, ben_vulpeses gotta shepherd cows through funnels.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: I'll get to reading docs and pick
a place to stand it up

a bit of value in sqlthings in managing fungible programmers. in the same way that common lisp fails at making cogs, mmmapped custom $whatever can be marvelously conservative of time and space, fit entirely in head, and also be anti-cog.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-05#1878451 << mysql also does this, and i recall the history too (anyone remember digg being out for
a coupla days because morons hit the max count of db entries, re-defined table to use larger ints, and had to ~rebuild the index offline~ for 30+ hours ?)

☝︎☟︎ ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: please also stand up
a postgres somewhere convenient for me to import and continue to work on this spreadsheet; this is ready for you to do your own data entry on fiat/btc incoming/outgoing
ben_vulpes: write the calculator of change in customer equity account for
a given month (which is the biggest manual backbreaker); after that i will do depreciation on the tangibles by hand, update assets and liabilities tables.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-02 21:26 mircea_popescu: now this man... he had
a set of 9V lightbulbs. and so as any good respectable citizen i sat down with the dead man's dragon pile, to TEST everythiung I got. yes ?
a111: Logged on 2018-12-05 02:24 phf: the hypothesis though is not "they lost everything", it's rather that they all have
a handful of what they were told were gold chests by people who can actually recognize gold. when poking at contents stuff seems vaguely gold like, so they hold to it hoping to cash it in, never really "having time" to go to an appraiser.
phf: i concede that there might be
a faint within
a faint, but i can't Munchhausen my way out of that one: i kind of have to assume that my perception of reality somewhat corresponds to reality, rather than
a bunch of people playing elaborate games with me
a111: Logged on 2018-11-16 22:50 asciilifeform: there's also the 'is it really ~the~ tapes' aspect. as in the old thing with the gold bars that nobody wants to drill for tungsten. consider for instance how nikola tesla was able to live in the waldorf for years, with the loan collateral being
a trunk containing 'great invention of much dangerous power'. when died, turned out to contain
a whetstone bridge.

☟︎ phf: asciilifeform:
a lot of things happened since 98 though, that predates
a couple of particularly gnaly fire sales. also alpha based emulation is "easy" to do from first principles for an experienced symbolics professional, you need an instruction list, some understanding of the architecture and
a the sources for the os.
phf: i was thinking though of moving it out of the ridiculous steel enclosure, that might make it
a touch more transportable
phf: i regret not buying
a macivory at discount when i had
a chance, it also would've been easy to take to russia with me
phf: re dks and fpga, i'm also not sure that he has enough data, or if he even knows if he has enough, or if the "master" in question has enough. i'm starting to suspect that the reason nothing's moving forward is because it's an intellectual bezel,
a cat that's alive only until observed
phf: asciilifeform: ah ty, i was mostly making
a "bright side" argument, since we do have an xl1201
