mircea_popescu: well... you see what i mean.

mircea_popescu: the derp brigades on social media are something else i swear.

mircea_popescu: just once i wish i got one that fills instead.

mike_c: he said he's sitting on coin now. i took that to mean long.

jurov: id'be really sleepless in tat's place. lats i remember he shorted

asciilifeform: xmas << that's where i'm mentally shooting for, yes.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i propose we go with xmas. if it works it'll be lulzy and if it doesn't idem.

mircea_popescu: note that i am not offering criticism, merely halping the pot air.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's my one ticket. which is why i've spent 90% of my free time and 100% of my disposable income on it, for... a while.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> i'd have swallowed it already. << well, being able to sell the cardano would probably fork for that purpose.

mircea_popescu: <mike_c> i mean, a couple thousand hits a day shouldn't trigger any limits.. << you don't know much about the shitbox biz model do you.

cazalla: i had hoped it was the ISIS post

asciilifeform: fact is - and i confessed this before on several occasions - i can't afford to move my equipment overseas, certainly can't afford to repurchase it, and moving so much as 300km in any geographic direction would leave me immediately without an income. insta-zap.

asciilifeform: bounce: i have no problem whatsoever with languages.

asciilifeform: ty kakobrekla (i'm working from a terminal, in a faraway place, for reasons of having to eat. not entirely irrelevant to this discussion...)

asciilifeform: ... to think and work (no day job in the ugandan salt mines, for example) is not a cheap proposition. if i knew of a magical pill against this, i'd have swallowed it already.

asciilifeform: im sure he has some sort of plan to extract himself... << i've lost count of the people who asked me about this. it's terrifyingly elementary problem - living is expensive. it's cheaper in, e.g., uganda, than usa, but the equipment i use does not get cheaper when far from the industrial world. on the contrary. and extraction of my own sorry hide, and that of my pet, in a way that still leaves me able to think and

kakobrekla: i mean, on your boxen

cazalla: i imagine its because of the guy that was dosing the other day

mike_c: i mean, a couple thousand hits a day shouldn't trigger any limits..

cazalla: BingoBoingo: Apocalyptic: Cazalla is hosting it, I don't have panel access <<< suspended for excessive use of resources, can't even access cpanel or ftp to make a backup, submitted a ticket

thickasthieves: yeah i just thought snsa was rolling in coins

mircea_popescu: fuck do i know the details.

mircea_popescu: <thickasthieves> but as i see it the co has the budget and is severely crippled << eh, one of the major advantages of being listed on mpex is that people can make their own decisions. noine of that "gotta move to sf" bullshit.

kakobrekla: but i can make assbot do stuff

kakobrekla: i dont see them coming and im not going start to

asciilifeform: we talked about this. i can build planet for xxx usd, cisco - no.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: cisco << i personally oversaw robot legs (steel pipes) purchased for several hundy usd each, while a thrall of usg - much less cisco

mike_c: thickasthieves: it exists if you run linux. i heard a rumor diana_coman compiled it on windows, but have not verified.

asciilifeform: aha yes. i remembered almost the correct figure.

thickasthieves: well then i need to stfu

thickasthieves: i'm so confused now

asciilifeform: bounce: suitcase << i have a ~30,000 volume library; a small machine shop; a woman; and a great many pieces of laboratory equipment.

thickasthieves: but as i see it the co has the budget and is severely crippled

thickasthieves: of course i'm speaking out of turn at this point

asciilifeform: too risky to be cashing em << yes. but the thing i am doing instead is also very ugly, and i'm genuinely surprised that there's been no hatemail over it.

asciilifeform: for our 'friends' reading this, i do not have the piggy in my own hands, nor remote access to it, cannot give it up in the torture room...

asciilifeform: mike_c: i doubt the shareholders would be happy with 50+% of the piggy burning in the fire of the confiscatory u.s. tax.

kakobrekla: i prefer coffee. much less biased.

assbot: Logged on 02-10-2014 05:23:31; asciilifeform: i may have said it before, but i will repeat: s.nsa has a piggy (see mircea_popescu's site); every month, i invoice him for materials, get some btc. but, since i can't safely convert btc to usd where i live, i just sit on them. they will probably be buried with me. hence: s.nsa, presently, in practice runs on guess what (my pocket money...)

asciilifeform: but i refuse to take pre-orders for equipment not yet produced and tested, and i think mp agrees with my reasoning.

asciilifeform: if i had 300k, would have long ago been in the middle of product #2...

thickasthieves: i'm sitting in coin

thickasthieves: i tried

gribble: diana_coman was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 6 days, 3 hours, 32 minutes, and 16 seconds ago: <diana_coman> I'm to blame for Sweete__ being here, since he pm-ed me about trading and I asked him why wasn't he in here if he was a trader

mircea_popescu: i wouldn't be surprised to find that something like a computer in three was actually raped

mircea_popescu: the emails i get tho... because these are WORDPRESS users right, so they can't leave fucking comments, they email

mircea_popescu: so i sent this notification thing to all the god damned blogs that were used in the ddos last month. like 80k in and im not even done in any sense.

mircea_popescu: thickasthieves: i'm developing pains though, need better chair << you sound just like a kid that's overexicted about "being a trader" and about to do very dumb shit.

bounce: gah. found a piece of software that promised to let me configure some obscure hardware I happen to have. doesn't compile on freebsd because linuxisms all over. yet it does have supposedly-freebsd-enabling #ifdefs here and there. something with release engineering, lack thereof.

mircea_popescu: not that i see why anyone would. just ditch her.

mircea_popescu: i never had any.

mircea_popescu: i dun get why these guys don't just move to saudi arabia.

jurov: Oh and i do agree, C/C++ *is* fun. Till you have to maintain it.

jurov: yes, i'm quite a reiser fan

bounce: haven't really looked into http but I'm not surprised it's on par with html, ie not really parseable. esp. the w3c specs stand out because they're only written for the html writer, with nary a thought to the parser writer.

mircea_popescu: the very few people i knew who actually got c code consistently right eventually gave up and moved to asm

jurov: bounce: I did HTTP stuff in C (dev/maintainer of ziproxy.sf.net) and it was just plainly impossible to do everything right, it had bugs all the time

bounce: no specific pentests, no, but I usually do try and hit all the corner cases and esp. if it has to go back and forth, write both sides of the link so I'm sure they can talk to each other.

mircea_popescu: <xinxi> I am from a country without racism, so I am not very sensititve to that. << a) are you kidding ?! b) why'd you care ?!

bounce: <jurov> in my experience it is more about stuf like meticulously checking your input (such as no negative numbers,. broken unicode, sql metacharacters, etc.) << perversely I do enjoy writing input parsers in C or C++. it's not even that hard, with the right approach, though some encodings make it unnecessarily annoying.

kakobrekla: <devthedev> BingoBoingo: I have a dedicated server at my house if that could be of any assistance. < you have a death wish?

devthedev: BingoBoingo: I have a dedicated server at my house if that could be of any assistance.

TomServo: hah, I didn't realize he was still around

thickasthieves: i have a feeling he's gonna hold the line and keep the excessive regs

kakobrekla: I'm going to escalate this ticket to get this cleared up for you.

thickasthieves: happened to me once too, but i was on some drug no one told me the name of

thickasthieves: nope, but i'm probly gonna consult some wacky tobaccy and a pillow soon

gabriel_laddel: 17:40:23xinxi:I read your comments carefully and have revised the site according to them. << tbh, I got bored within the first 1-2 minutes of browsing around. you probably want to pay someone who knows about copy, marketing etc. to fix it.

xinxi: I see. it’s 2 am here. I need to go to sleep. talk to you tomorrow.

thickasthieves: for some reason i was sitting on my hand for like 20min and now my wrist is hurt

thickasthieves: i'm developing pains though, need better chair

kakobrekla: the longest streak i had with pc was 72hrs

xinxi: oh, i see it.

gribble: Error: I have no notes for that nick.

gribble: I currently have notes waiting for BlueMeanie4, Daniel_Krawisz, davidldubuc, DTdirk, indolering, JuliaTourianski, Michael1, mist, normalra, nubbins, perdent, princessnell, ragmondo, RPrpRP, sgarnick, sgornick, tbz1, tweeeaks, usagi, wywialm, xinxi, and Zerock.

xinxi: I read your comments carefully and have revised the site according to them.

xinxi: hey, I need a market maker for my site.

thickasthieves: but wtf do i know

xinxi: i see

xinxi: but i like normal japanese people when i went to japan.

xinxi: i hate the japs who killed so many people.

xinxi: yeah, I know. I just need to know the fact.

xinxi: I am from a country without racism, so I am not very sensititve to that.

xinxi: right, I traded for years in the FX market. Backtesting usually does not work well. The market is always changing.

ben_vulpes: real MIT died with the lisp machines i guess

ben_vulpes: <thickasthieves> i beat MIT http://www.coindesk.com/mit-bitcoin-trading-simulation-yields-profit-89-50-days/ << what the hell are idiots like this doing at MIT

nubbins`: i think it was actually a branded freebie, so definitely

nubbins`: i had a dynamo flashlight once, and it was fucking useless

mats_cd03: i did

nubbins`: i poked at that, way too much effort

mats_cd03: mircea_popescu: i am currently using the following search: JUDGE(BLAKE) & ("THE GOVERNMENT") & ("PAPERWORK" "PRIVACY" "SEARCH WARRANT" "ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE" "EMAIL" "SUPPRESS EVIDENCE" "HARD DRIVE" "TRANSMISSION" "WRITTEN") & DA(aft 12-31-1989 & bef 01-01-2003)

mircea_popescu: mats_cd03 and i got a meeting now, so we'll resume in a few hours.

mircea_popescu: mats_cd03 i'd love to, but i can't do it in the abstract.

mats_cd03: mircea_popescu: would ya happen to have any suggestions for this legal research? i'm drowning, atm -- i've got 5 relevant cases across 3 judges, and expended ~20 hours so far

ben_vulpes: i hate this thing.

ben_vulpes: people are very aware of how stupid this is, because i email them things that i want printed to remind them that they bought a poorly featured printer.

ben_vulpes: they never come with modern chips, so i have to detatch from my primary network to use the printer in our office.
