coderwill: mircea_popescu: maybe just cylical on
a timespan that's not being well perceived
mircea_popescu: person wants to upgrade, torch the box set up
a new one.
decimation: also, there's
a large margin of error, but we are really sure that there's
a trend here
decimation: "The story also reported that 2014 was the hottest year on record, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and NASA, but did not include the caveat that other recent years had average temperatures that were almost as high — and they all fall within
a margin of error that lessens the certainty that any one of the years was the hottest."
decimation: "As
a result, GISS’s director Gavin Schmidt has now admitted Nasa thinks the likelihood that 2014 was the warmest year since 1880 is just 38 per cent. However, when asked by this newspaper whether he regretted that the news release did not mention this, he did not respond." < lol daily mail
coderwill: i just saw
a link the other day that at the same time, 2014 was the warmest year on record - also, something that in the last 10 years
a ridiculous amount of warm weather records have been broken
assbot: So /McDonalds is goin to start accepting
a random type currency soon.. I wonder it its /search?q=%24btc&src=ctag /hashtag/bitcoin?src=hash
punkman: !rate coderwill 1 for #b-
a voice
coderwill: mircea_popescu: saw your reply RE: circle, yeah, it's almost like they want to be
a venmo or square pay now or something
decimation: gabriel_laddel: sounds like an interesting os, would be worth
a spin
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: anyone who works with power shapers knows better than to hand guide
a router << it was hand guided by
a robotic hand.
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> Imma spend
a few hours now reading trilema and listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd to get the liberal brainwashing out. << i lollered.
badbitcoinadmin: I am familiar with PGP, but only have
a few contacts who use it. What's next?
badbitcoinadmin: badbitcoin.org is
a specialty site taht focuses on tracking various coin scams & those running them
gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes: I realize that, but no systemd should be considered
a feature IMO. One I forgot to list.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: say that you want to write
a Captain's Log each day before going to sleep. Masamune formalizes this.
ben_vulpes: seriously though, sounds great. can't wait to give it
a whirl.
gabriel_laddel: If anyone has requests for things they'd like to see in
a dream distro. Let me know.
gabriel_laddel: There are several other things that simply "make sense", but have somehow not found their way into mainstream linux. One of which is the dashboard. Currently it lists how many lisp LoC and projects are running on the entire machine. It also manages the habits system and allows for one to say, practice mathematics for 1 hours
a day without fail, at which point it restores the state prior to starting the habit.
gabriel_laddel: The state saving facility allows for saving saving and restoration of all URLs, scroll locations, files and window arrangement on
a whim. CLIM gui applications that obey the recommended architecture can also trivially plug into this system.
gabriel_laddel: 1/2 emacs 1/2 clim gui and XYZ files open with
a (emacs) window arrangement just so.
gabriel_laddel: The browser, window manager, gui library and emacs are all connected to the same common lisp process and are explorable at runtime. Conkeror is based on Emacs and shares some of the same conceptual foundation, thus, the whole experience feels very lispy. The lessons system is 'dialed-in'. For example, you can specify that the user is to scroll to 80% of
a particular URL, at which point you want the windows arranged
punkman: "Alexis Tsipras is
a tin-pot communist. May his time in power be short and his actions easily revocable."
BingoBoingo: Also... I smoke cigarettes
a lot of places, but anywhere I'm generating
a bunch of woodshavings is not that place.
ben_vulpes: HAND GUIDED router << anyone who works with power shapers knows better than to hand guide
a router
gabriel_laddel: though from
a rating perspective, I don't think it matters if I wait until I release the distro
ben_vulpes: best time to plant
a tree and all that
ben_vulpes: care to talk
a little more about this distro upon which you've been working?
gabriel_laddel: screenshots of programs that come with the #b-
a distro by default.
BingoBoingo: Imma spend
a few hours now reading trilema and listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd to get the liberal brainwashing out.
pete_dushenski: Anti-austerity Syriza party has won Greece's general election, putting the country on
a possible collision course with the EU over its massive bailout.
assbot: Logged on 26-01-2015 02:05:42; BingoBoingo: I live. Got hooked into judging at
a college debate tournament this weekend for quick fiat and an anthropological study of the reddit derp in the physical world.
moldysnizz: BingoBoingo, have yo had
a chance to watch "The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin"?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Maybe if I had
a ballot that round.
BingoBoingo: I live. Got hooked into judging at
a college debate tournament this weekend for quick fiat and an anthropological study of the reddit derp in the physical world.
☟︎ pete_dushenski: twitter: soggy, used mostly by intellectual janitors. yup, that'd be
a mop
mircea_popescu: mats> whoa, xanga. i haven't seen that name in almost
a decade. << that azn chick still blogs on it.
pete_dushenski: the last one was bespoke, but
a dud compared to the phantom
pete_dushenski: obama needed
a poster child, and tesla has definitely been one of his success stories
mats:
a reading of 'Consumer Reports' from some years ago suggests that cars are lasting longer...
pete_dushenski: but the increased homogeny between brands,
a function of their sharing tier 1 and 2 suppliers, is hampering even the best of intentions
thestringpuller: ya, mah girl has
a Camry from 94-95 or something almost 200k miles on it and it runs fine. Road trip worthy and all.
pete_dushenski: the e30 was built in an era when only entry-level cars failed completely after
a few year
thestringpuller: My buddy had
a diesel benz in high school. That thing was
a beast, p. much
a tractor, but man you could abuse that thing and it'd still show love 800 miles from home.
mats: whoa, xanga. i haven't seen that name in almost
a decade.
thestringpuller: I was thinking of that story I put in the comments of your post. ANd was like "Why not get
a volvo? It's gonna outlast most bitcoin businesses while being 30 years old as is."
pete_dushenski: Andreessen Horowitz is heading up
a $58 million round of investment in TransferWise
thestringpuller: "Dear Mr. Vessenes', You are
a poop. Signed, mircea_popescu "
mircea_popescu: the usg is not going to like people fucking up its shit. that's not changing. google isn't going to start acting like anything but
a usg agent. that's also not changing. what are teh staffers in question expect will happen, or expected will have happened ?
mats: replaced? schmidt has been
a USG cocksucker since day 1
Adlai: it looked quite similar to what happened
a few months back on bitfinex where the order book reported an out of date book about $20 below the current one
Naphex: apparently
a lot of romanians & italians are biting on it
mircea_popescu: "This sounds like
a legit deal to me because the bitcoin mining can keep it going."
mircea_popescu: if anyone wants to know what happens to "exciting revolutionary start-ups" once the burn rate burns through... tin eye is
a fine example.
mircea_popescu: maybe woodcollector should carve
a block of boron carbide next, as
a super-show of his super-talents.
mircea_popescu: apparently the average chump believes talent to be
a sort of spark-of-superman.
mircea_popescu: His mastery of the skill comes not from his ability to "cut around the lines" but in that he can from start to finish carve on some of the most difficult woods in the world to work with. Wood that 80% of your so called "master carvers" as they claim on youtube and the woodworking forums would not touch in
a hundred years because it takes some serious talent to carve them.
mircea_popescu: the only sort of situation where US systems approach survivability are very plain, obvious questions that everyone, even
a turtle, would get right.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the solution is quite simple : do not give everyone voice. have
a voicing procedure in place.
mircea_popescu: this is why you don't want "universal suffrage" : it makes politics
a matter of emo manipulation, like marketing.
decimation: davout: yeah it's
a good term. note that emopolitik is called "political strategy" in the democratic west
