a111: Logged on 2017-08-04 23:12 asciilifeform: it dun need replacement per se, was dead disk. i took the downtime as chance to try netbsd on same iron, when new disk came. iirc i explained this upstack.
mircea_popescu: anyway. censorship as usually idiotic, there's really not that much "propaganda" involved.
mircea_popescu: as there's no natural nails for the "feminist" hysteria to hang its plurious hats from, generally any salient features of the environment will be co-opted. which is the story here as it is with every other mentally ill / imbecile heroine of the nonsense.

asciilifeform: not so 'bad' as 'murdered'
asciilifeform: as for weight, original bolix was doublefridge size. the 3620 (what i have here) was paraded when debuted by the ceo hand carried on a stage in front of audience, 'only 100 pounds!'
mircea_popescu: certainly us doctors are as egomaniacal idiotic as all other usg-aryan groups, financial experts, lawyers, etc. however, they are not derelict in their actual work (unlike the financial dorks, but like the lawyhers)
asciilifeform: was referring to 'medical profession' in the desirable 'people who actually use antiseptics and know how not to cut random arteries as they go' rather than 'caste of egomaniacal brahmins' american sense.
asciilifeform: exactly same , as far as i can tell, as no box.
mircea_popescu: not even black as much as you know, ir dark.
asciilifeform: has ftdi thing for usb i/o as well as programming.
mircea_popescu: somehow that they all use the EXACT FUCKING TWO LINES as per the usg permit doesn't bother them. what, all lemmings think the same way, they independently and distinctly selected the exact some item for their illustrative needs. and they selected it out of the work in discussion, believe, not out of the reichkomissar's permit.
mircea_popescu: in other unhappeneds, agnes miegel's an den fuhrer never existed, as far as the "gateway to world's culture" is concerned.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, the idea is that this was some chicago hardass who "viewed the world as a battleground". very different chicago in 1927.
BingoBoingo: Give Fna a sheet of paper. Let the adorable one encode it as only he can, at his leisure.
mircea_popescu: one of the better stories of 30s hollywood (they did very few original scripts then as now) was the story of ruth etting and moe the gimp snyder.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the latter is quite depopulated as is
asciilifeform: zurich, london, berlin, as basic secondaries.
mircea_popescu: the problem with heroin is that it's a very stupid drug. as such, it goes in cycles, about 20 years long or so (ie, as long as it takes for a new generation of lemmings to entirely forget). it's on a downcycle right now.
mircea_popescu: the "government", as usgtards importantly call the aspie enablers, has gone about as long as it'll go. they nominally control a majority of the territory, but this looks well set for an inflection.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: point, same as lock in doors, is to take longer and moar sweat.
asciilifeform: fwiw i bought tires not long ago, and they had to ask for the magic adapter. apparently not kept in shop as a routine item.
asciilifeform: prolly same thing as mine
mircea_popescu: items which go to unspecified locations are eminently the tools of the engineer. it's the doctor of divinity that should expect very strictly confined results. engineering is more of an airy, take-things-as-they-come line of work.
asciilifeform: tcl , as i understand, caught the plague many years ago. this must be the 7th or 8th popular proggy that none of asciilifeform's boxes will build, purely on account of tcl rot.
mircea_popescu: on the basis of "what the people need", as demonstrated by the people themselves, bitcoin blocks of 64kb would be perfectly sufficient./
mircea_popescu: anyway, as best i can see for the past coupla hours bcc hash is actually 0.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i care what usg thinks its laws are about as much as i think what fat girl thinks her reasons for eating are.
phf: it is well known that things are as bad elsewhere as they are in smawpland, dc
a111: Logged on 2017-08-02 22:21 asciilifeform: ' RoHS = Restrictions on Hand Soldering ' ( good one. and true : as described in http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1871 , shit dun melt worth shit with any available iron )
mircea_popescu: "our novel eutectic alloy melts at just about 500 degrees. just as good as proper solder, and also better for the environment!!!"
mircea_popescu: as opposed to "out of gerbils"
trinque: and that at some point a log of the encrypted OTPs and their return (as seen over that serial cable by 3rd box) is moved somewhere, and the encrypted OTPs decrypted and matched up with OTPs received
trinque: ah now I recall what might reduce the print audit's usefulness. it means visual inspection of the encrypted items, as well as OTPs. logger box has to first see the encrypted item, second, corresponding OTP, and then this log has to be verified by someone who can (elsewhere) crack open the encrypted ones and match up the OTPs.
trinque: funny thing was I'd already considered having the OTP box burn a CD as it went along, just shitter printing without visual inspection.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-03 17:23 asciilifeform: which i demonstrated (at least to my satisfaction) as caused by slow verification on ~own~ end, of incoming blocks
trinque: an external adatronic otpulator makes dealing with transactional items diddled by the web safer, as I see it

a111: Logged on 2017-08-03 15:17 BingoBoingo dreamt that mp staged a "reality show" style social experiment. Series of competitions where contestants were coached to act on Trilema principles, "cause not purpose" to prevail. Then as soon as contestants were told filimg stopped the "moo-moo" resumed.

shinohai: " put on hold as primarily opinion-based by ....... Pieter Wuille,Jul 29 at 17:41 "
asciilifeform: tho it ain't so much 'lisp crowd' as much as californirasts.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, "Uber’s lawyer: What is the patent that is left in the case, as you understand it? Page: I have no idea." (from google-uber suit, via #bolix).
mircea_popescu: nobody knows how things were as a matter of fact ; but the notion has plenty of skin on its bones.
asciilifeform: ( collectors, i say, are to bolix as phylloxera is to wine. )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is as always quite eager to lowball the market value of anyone not himself
mircea_popescu: 1500 italy was, just as much as 1960 pacifgic islands, a scavenger culture.
asciilifeform: as opposed to unix etc abstraction
mircea_popescu: as opposed to what.
asciilifeform: it ain't terribly useful as a headless deployment thing, tho, really shines as dev tool
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in other lulz : i just brokered a deal whereby we could in principle get candi to run off vintage iron, as a hosting deal :D ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-03-23 03:17 asciilifeform: it is almost as if they did not want their 3-10k $ investments to turn into the equivalent of old nintendo.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the situation is tight coupling between businessman and chef, which meanwhile disolved. i still count it as an a, except the funes item came in thje shape of starr/rose binome.
phf: i'm pretty sure starr himself is not a cook, but apparently the whole starr restaurant is not his first venture, he started as a large-scale stadium concert organizer (? i'm not sure what to call that role), so who knows how much cash he put into his restaurant venture
mircea_popescu: i am not aware of a successful restaurant that was built as you describe. you have a) the funes style restaurants, owned and operated by an actual expert chef. these are 50-50 for roi. b) the "prestige" restaurants of very large hotel conglomerates. these always lose money and are the mud from which a sprouts and in which a goes to die. and then you have the roadside diners. and then d) you have the franchises.
asciilifeform: ' RoHS = Restrictions on Hand Soldering ' ( good one. and true : as described in http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1871 , shit dun melt worth shit with any available iron ) ☟︎
mircea_popescu: phf he tried and failed from hwat i hear. though i hear via actual bar people, as opposed to itards, and it's mixed in "shithead has nfi how to run a bar" expletives.
asciilifeform: (b) is a recurring boojum in prosthetics as a whole
mircea_popescu: looks ~same as the cluj itc, cca 1985
mircea_popescu: hey, as per regulations that's what you have to do anyway as part of cleaning them
mircea_popescu: i did ask as far as i judge polite.
asciilifeform: so far sad folx, referring to loongson as if it existed
mircea_popescu: but you can in fact make the cpu run the same instruction set as the language allows ?
asciilifeform: ada is interesting because 1) all array accesses bounds checked. you CAN hardwarize this. but also 2) whole program is forced to conform to strict rules, said conformance can only be evaluated during compilation, and strictly when taken as whole
mircea_popescu: as in language-on-a-chip, no interpreter no compiler no linker no assembler.
asciilifeform: lol, as in basic interpreter, actually moving the fucking humanreadable strings around ?
asciilifeform: ( if mircea_popescu meant a chip-that-checks-bounds. which existed at various points, e.g. symbolics lineup supported ada natively just as well as lisps . )
asciilifeform: as in buy at digikey or other mainstream supply house .
mircea_popescu: as in buy on amazon ?
asciilifeform: ( that doesn't rely on closed xilinx 20GB turdchain to fill, doesn't contain a flash rom, doesn't double as a frying pan )
asciilifeform: never existed as an actual physical chip.
asciilifeform: i mention sparc as a historic item, it is afaik no longer possible to source it.
mircea_popescu: and the sparc designers imagined allowing this to be between x or y counts as "Scalable"
asciilifeform: ( or, on the extreme end of things, not having arithmetic other than add-one. as scheme chip did. )
asciilifeform: ( as in, 'oisc' )
mircea_popescu: as per google : "SPARC is a global coalition committed to making Open the default for research and education." and Sparc - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparc Sparc is an exclusive import distributor for the Philippine market.
mircea_popescu: i see it in the same samizdat as always.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, they were figuring it's gonna help their "careers", as if 200 dollar a show tv extras in intl markets have fucking careers or somethign.
mircea_popescu: at any rate, i also believe in that whole spqr-esque "korpenkultur" as you call it ; just i'm also scandalously self indulgent.
asciilifeform: '...Lackman's belongings still haven't been returned. Nor can he access the TVAddons website or its social media accounts, which were also seized as part of the original order. That's because Bell, Rogers and Videotron have appealed the court decision and a Federal Court of Appeal judge has ruled that until the appeal can be heard, Lackman will get nothing back.'
mod6: <+trinque> god, her face. literally, "I will open my mouth as wide as you let me". << scary huh
trinque: god, her face. literally, "I will open my mouth as wide as you let me".
mod6: It seems that many of us are interested in this project; feel free to contribute as you can towards asciilifeform's project goals.
danielpbarron: i don't know that i'm qualified to take lead on such a thing, as knowledgable on the subject as i may be. And i have a bad habit of losing track of projects that i'm not super confident about
a111: Logged on 2017-08-02 16:46 mod6: Is there a Lord in this Chamber who would like to take project lead of Cuntoo? This would entail maintaining the distribution as seen fit for use by TMSR~, coordination of all tasks, and general oversight, hosting of packages/source etc? The Foundation would be willing to contribute to the cost of infrastructure for this hosting if need be.
mod6: I know I would help contribute to this project as I can, and I'm sure others will as well.

p0nziph0ne: as long as taxes and gains from coinbase finally get payed and the gov is happy, what is the interest to give small customer what they deserve? they will forget at the end and dont care
p0nziph0ne: phf: as long as coinbase has terms of use like polo does since yesterday https://github.com/usefree/poloniextermsofuse/commit/a6c548bccf6b8767505938081e0e56051a32cb24 and they will let govs participate in the theft i see no chance for coinbase customers to have success in a lawsuit
phf: isp/code/fun/life.cl game of life that was used as a prop in a certain anime series, and my favorite http://cmu-ai-mirror.bvulpes.com/afs/cs/project/ai-repository/ai/lang/lisp/code/fun/sunset.cl sunrise/sunset calculator.
phf: also it would be handy to mark some of the files as text/plain in nginx so that browser doesn't autodownload: ltv, lst, cl, lisp, doc
shinohai: No one has died afaik ....the best lulz continue to be printed in Qntra, as befits such things.
mircea_popescu: lol. can't say as i have.
f1maze: at least I dont join/part as much as the deep book^
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform pissing over rail is ~same as "puke out window of bus on highway". works better in theory than in practice.
phf: "When he is designing a bathroom, Kaufman says he is required to allot around 1,500 square inches of space for a urinal. A toilet needs more than 3,300 square inches. … “Why would you want the ship to be bigger just for fixtures?” said Kaufman. “You can get twice as many urinals as water closets.”"
mircea_popescu: the REASON urinals exist is because you can satisfy about 3x as many toilet needs per unit space thios way.
asciilifeform: just as you won't for 'let's rsa'
asciilifeform: ( nfi why went down, linux is 'helpful' as always )
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2017-08-02 00:00 mircea_popescu: anything works, really, from "we're not even going to consider this dumb shit" to "we've considered it and it's not useful" etc ; with or without a "we'd like to see proposal more in the X vein" or "we're not even going to consider anything, for reasons" or whatever. as it is i have nfi whether you specifically excluded it, for later, forever, or just too small to talk about or or anyth
