BingoBoingo: Kinda how /r/buttcoin started as Something Awful and is now all Stolfi's regrets
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 anything really.
mircea_popescu: (i've met a bunch of these btw, insane and incomprehensible as the item may appear in theory)
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, here's the top employers for pierce country (wa) : jblm, 66k ; public schools, 13.5k ; obamacare etc 7k ; the state of washington 6.5k, the franciscan health system (about as franciscan as the ny jewish stuff) : 5.5k ; the county of pierce : 3k ; the state-owned universities : 2.5k ; fred meyer stores : 2.5k.
deedbot: AAC0378219053AFD79AFA4D8861DF5C40C813682 is already registered as pa1atine.
mircea_popescu: right. but i wouldn't say this qualifies as any sort of check.
p0nziph0ne: mircea_popescu: i am pretty free in what i am doing, i may choose the topics by myself, its a comfortable position because i always look out for optimizations whether its automation or security as a benefit for all, employees, company/customers and of course through automation less workload for me
mircea_popescu: the advantage of mythical time (which is what's involved whenever gods are discussed) is that you can flow it backwards as well as forwards.
trinque: mircea_popescu: you latest article demolishes my lingering notion that the grease spot left where a god was killed can be called the same thing as him. or http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-31#1594911 ☝︎
asciilifeform: as in, with own hands
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-01#1692006 << since when do these derps list alts on same www as actual btc ?! ☝︎
asciilifeform: iirc he has a crate of pogos also. could sell these as well gentooated.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-01#1691747 << this almost suffices to qualify as crane operator!111 ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: in fairness, when i was about 4 or 5 or so my parents wrote various pghone numbers of interest (such as my grandmother) on pieces of paper and afixed them about eye height around the house.
asciilifeform: i think of 'fluency' as when i can translate poem
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, finding a native hungarian speaker is generally as easy as visiting the closest bordello.
mod6: It's crazy. I'm guilty of this as well. My spelling is horrid.
mircea_popescu: precisely because as you say, then you lose it.
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-01#1691632 << i actually did that as a small child. i was trying to see if you can charge a battery by connecting it directly to the outlet :o ☝︎
mircea_popescu: this is not so much a theory as a fact. they never did.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-14 16:47 mircea_popescu: aaand trinque, incidentally, as it just occured to me -- can you get deedbot payments online by the end of the month ? seems somewhat likely usg is gonna turn off its "webwallet" bullshits from blockchain.info down.
mircea_popescu: sounds about right, yes ? except dogs won't read the shit coming out of tepee, new mexico. but otherwise basically the same thing, right ? harvard can be university, just as good as european, neh ?
deedbot: http://qntra.net/2017/07/alabama-special-senate-election-bleeding-legacy-gop-as-trumps-cleansing-continues/ << Qntra - Alabama Special Senate Election Bleeding Legacy GOP As Trump's Cleansing Continues
mircea_popescu: (also, while we're at it : the "haughty" behaviour of low preference value ustard females, hair dressers and whatnot, where they roll their eyes and purport as if they're bothered by advances because that's what they imagine they must do, is also very much a function of food stamps.)
mircea_popescu: this scares the shit out of the brit. as it would NOT have scared his grandfather, but whatever.
mod6: my entire point is Air Conditioned life, as much as i like it myself != life
mircea_popescu: mod6 i'd rather phrase it as "you've been missing out on a lot of available joy".
mircea_popescu: no argument. but it helps if you reject the woman because you saw her naked, or you fucked her, or SOMETHING ; as opposed to barfing because okcupid scored her as 73.
mircea_popescu: makes about as much sense as your being eaten by a frog.
mircea_popescu: the REASON, however, is not that africans have shittier genes. i was able to verify their genes are just fine, with my dick. african genes make tall, pretty girls that fuck just as fine as white girls. and they even have better asses on average.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu just as a very high quality of goats
asciilifeform: can be arbitrarily 'functional mind' and arbitrarily poor, when pantsuits rob you of even the notion that there is such a thing as not being robbed
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the loss adversity of the poor does not go well with an otherwise functional mind such as naggum displays.
asciilifeform: most folx are poor as church mice and extremely -- and thereby -- loss-averse
mircea_popescu: i taught briefly ; and went away. and was romanian and left. and so on and so forth, dozens of different "Beings". but this is just my blessing as mp ; poor unfortunate naggum has been so cursed, as to only have two options.
mircea_popescu: i can appreciate that the only way they even got this far, having read all those books they had to read to be able to discuss something interesting in science today, as opposed to 1700 ; and all the time doing definitionally boring shit in the lab (because it's NOT "i can't recall what the solvent was" it is therefore boring!) is by subduing the natural voice saying "fuck this shit, let's go roll in the grass under the apple
asciilifeform: but idea was roughly same as what causes 'alices'
asciilifeform: the 'blue collar' folx -- now very very medicated. as documented by tlp.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: as you know, 80 (90?) % of swamp inhabitants, 'medicated' << For very good reason. Shifts blame from lizards to their diseases.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as you know, 80 (90?) % of swamp inhabitants, 'medicated'
mircea_popescu: if you're going to go the plant route can just as well eat the damned things. there's thousands of different plants that naturally store it.
phf: zanimated chemistry is a edutainment broadcast out of new york with thomas dolby as a host teaching you how to make prank bombs out of house hold supplies
phf: well, artifact is presented here also for its peculiar lulzy nature: the "guide" is distributed as a gif screenshot of a chan thread of a step by step follow along breakdown etc etc
mircea_popescu: augustus, who was a fucking emperor not one of these rando twerks moving from mercury, minessota to new york to "find their forture" in the pages of the nyt, and therefore FUCKING BUSY not to mention about as untalented as they are, still COULD WRITE.
asciilifeform: 'the vanilla 4.7 kernel should support this board, as should Rich Felker's musl-libc toolchain.' << bonus
asciilifeform: yes, but not quite so bare-bones as, e.g., schoolbook mips
mircea_popescu: in fact, the canon is shockingly dumb. there's that blavatsky-wannabe with her utterly unreadable 600 pages atlas thing. there's rothbard, which is about as terrible as trying to read http://www.mcgonagall-online.org.uk/works
asciilifeform: 'Samsung’s Shannon modems are prevalent in most of the newer Samsungs; Intel’s Infineon chips have taken over Qualcomm as the baseband for iPhone 7 and above; and MediaTek’s chips are a popular choice for lower cost Androids. And to top it off, Qualcomm is still dominant in higher end non-Samsung Androids.' << suggests a burn
asciilifeform: 'During the early 2000s, self-propagating malware – or “worms” – were common. But the advent of DEP and ASLR largely killed off remote exploitation, and Conficker (2008) will be remembered as the last self-propagating network worm. We will revive this tradition by turning Broadpwn into the first WiFi worm for mobile devices, and the first public network worm in eight years.' supposedly.
mircea_popescu: per chapter is better than per book, but evidently the correct approach is per-article, which in the antiquated world probably should translate as "per-page".
BingoBoingo: <User705> On both ends lulzy the whole thing of you now own things I don't really own and the plaintiffs asking to get back a valuable thing that wouldn't be worth shit if you could get it back that way. The cryptsy dude should just send the court a letter stating I release all rights to those addresses to you as a satisfaction of judgement. Best of luck. << Nah, this is how "family court" works

mircea_popescu: as long as i don't read with my ankle i'm fine.
mircea_popescu: my mother dropped me in the shtix as an infant.
BingoBoingo: Holy fuck we are about as close to TMSR Wagon as we were to TRB in 2013 given all this engine talk
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2017/the-ethics-of-liberty-by-murray-n-rothbard-adnotated-part-ii-natural-law-as-science/ << Trilema - The Ethics of Liberty, by Murray N Rothbard. Adnotated. Part II (Natural Law as "Science")
mircea_popescu: it sure as fuck shares mystic dimensions with the whole "just give me the facts" "i fucking love science".
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2013-12-25#431157 << i've heard that one in a dozen of different variations (for example instead of фуфло "на просто так" which is as innocent as it gets). there's the whole genre of ru fiction "prison survival for newb", the gist of it is that supposedly you can fake the "correct" answer to "кто ты по жизни" so you won't be harassed. of course the whole framing is nonsense, and if you're reading it it ☝︎
mgoetze: as for then, let me sleep over it.....
mgoetze: as in do you care how i realise ?
Birdman: I'm birdman, live in US, know danielpbarron irl, play eulora infrequently as of late, idk
shinohai: As he does not exist in WoT, then is not person as far as I am concerned.
BingoBoingo: "State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 38,599 Coils, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest." << OMG mircea_popescu Your wealth gap is closing!!!
phf: (and until you do its nature as a wallet can be debated philosophically. i think majority of tmsr is platonists, so there exists an infinitive number of wallets to which you can spend whether or not anyone has possession of them. you can though discover a wallet through the process of key generation)
ag3nt_zer0: perhaps its out of my current range of understanding, but might someone point me in the direction that I may grasp how the hell a keypair created on an airgapped computer has relevance in the actual online network...? Applied Cryptography (blue) is en route so perhaps that will help but in meantime thought I would ask here as no luck with searches - don't even know what terms would bring that up...
ascii_wtf: not as of last wk
asciilifeform: 'a hare is seen running like mad, 'where are you running?' -- 'they say they'll be shaving camels soon, so i am on my way to police station, to register as a hare.' 'why do you give a damn what will happen to camels, you are a hare' 'well, they'll grab me, start shaving, then go and prove that you ain't a camel' '
mircea_popescu: it is, actually, about twice as long as rome stood, their idle pretense to millenarity notwithstanding.
mircea_popescu: to remind : venice stood for a millenium. this is longer than the "thousand years reich" national-socialism managed ; it is longer than any french "republic" ever succeeded ; longer than the entire existence of the us by a factor of about three, notwithstanding the us didn't start out as a socialist state.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the republic needs no such nonsense, as it prevails in the open air against the pantsuit decoctions.
mircea_popescu: the reason for the asymmetry is that socialism positively needs its unicity argument, as it has no others. without "ourdemocracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others [we're willing to consider, in a limited review intended to circularily "prove" the point]" there's no ourdemocracy.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: gonna argue that kako is in same category as 51% of cnminers?
mircea_popescu: for as long as miners mine only txn divisible by two, they're welcome to... mine them.
mircea_popescu: what exactly "victory" ? for as long as ustards keep on pretending washington dc is "the capital" of some imaginary "sovereign country", they're more than welcome to... themselves... act if iti were. no more.
mircea_popescu: (such as colonna, more or less source of the old guy in http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=un+prophete ; at his conviction in 2012 the french equivalent of a federal court gave reasoning for its sentence, for the first time in french legal practice. cuz empire wanna be part of euroland.)
mircea_popescu: ah, and in other imperial lulz : ahmed ben bella, m boufiaf, ex presidents of algerian republic, as well as all sorts of algerian politicians -> prison de la sante, paris.
mircea_popescu: the item recurs, being seen eg in march https://pastebin.com/3DxSFArc as well as in nov past on bitcoin testnet https://archive.is/odxVd#selection-4629.0-4629.72
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> (everyone else thinks caul births are a good omen. romanians, as usual, reverse.) << Perhaps it is all the sons of beggars fearing the crown?
mircea_popescu: (everyone else thinks caul births are a good omen. romanians, as usual, reverse.)
BingoBoingo: but keep gcc4 in the build for these as well
asciilifeform: this applies to niggers of all colours, piano they had nothing to do with the making of, is quite the same as a tree in the forest
asciilifeform: concert piano as kindling etc
a111: Logged on 2017-07-28 00:16 phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-27#1690392 << fear mongering for rhetoric purposes, but my point is the same one as was made by the situationists: you can build negation into your tooling all you want, but if need be the maggots will find a way.

shinohai: "In case of emergency. wrap arms firmly around whore and use as a flotation device"
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2014-01-14#444413 << also. teh oldest references, as it'd appear. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: generally "to plan" is used as a view towards results. this utterly is not what planning is. planning is all about the construction of processes.
mircea_popescu: both. the distinction only exists in a certain (and false) view of teh world. otherwise, to plan it as a literary opus correctly IS for it to grow on its own wya.
palatine: i got a question for you, if you don't mind answering, did you plan trilema as a literary opus by the very start or sorta did it grew out on its own way?
mircea_popescu: that way you get actual, as opposed to theoretical, attorney-client priviledge.
mircea_popescu: anyway, as a lawyer you absoluitely wish to bake pgp into every aspect of your practice. don't have any customer email you plaintext.
mircea_popescu avvers that had he run into remarkable crapola re knuth he'd have thrown a louder than usual and as public as usual hissy fit.
mircea_popescu: that future is now, and just as soon as i fuck one i'll care.
mircea_popescu: moreover, i can envisage a future where the clean html of the republic is viewed through "browser2iphonekek" as javascript-whatever.
phf: oved." etc. etc. last tex release (apart from bug fixes) is version 3 in 1990. you'd think(c)(r), but the reality is that layers and layers of cancer are grown on top of it, and when there's a discussion it is in terms of original values, but when it comes to details its "use this lua pdf unicode thing which comes as part of a 5GB package"
mircea_popescu: I blush to tell, I tremble to recite our Persian childhood and its fated plight! or something at the very least. the cogent points is that one tempts the fates at his peril with a recount of how changing the republic for a satrapy contained in itself its future blessings such as they were.
mircea_popescu: bout as far as that goes.
asciilifeform: i'm a little surprised that northkr has not attempted cultivating reputation as tmsr-friendly
mircea_popescu: but be that as it may, for the brief interlude in question. there's no substantial difference today.
asciilifeform: as good as usa.
