asciilifeform: <ninjashogun> I think you can improve your device by communicating with the host in any other way (LED and webcam, speaker and microphone, whatever), other than as a USB device, which I don't think is the most secure interface for your usage case. No, I didn't have anyone else tell me to tell you this!
asciilifeform: <ninjashogun> you're not correct that I have any connection with the u.s. government. (or any other government). Other than holding citizenship and in the interests of absolute full disclosure, I served briefly in the military. This isn't text or me saying it

asciilifeform: except, i suspect that he rarely goes hungry.
ninjashogun: I think you trolled hard enough for a couple of months to move on to something more constructive. Even weev did.
asciilifeform: i sympathize with any poor sod who grunts in a salt mine doing something bloody ludicrous and humiliating, but this has to break some sort of record.
ninjashogun: I don't htink that's the sole purpose of letting me speak.

mircea_popescu: no, i'm not.
ninjashogun: You're essentially saying everything I don't understand is deterministic (non-stochastic). Well, okay.

mats_cd03: i've observed both sides of the humint game and ninjashogun is just a failed mba

ninjashogun: asciilifeform, tihs is exactly why I linked you http://seriouspony.com/trouble-at-the-koolaid-point -- saying this is literally exactly the same as the DMCA allegation. Nobody knows hwere you came up with it.
ninjashogun: mats_cd03, what do you mean "I offer to enslave you instead"? I didn't offer anything but told you you should do something in general terms, i.e. whatever you come up with. I didn't have a specific suggestion for oyu.
mats_cd03: i'm a disgruntled IT slave and you offer to enslave me instead

mircea_popescu: ss your heart" Southern affectation of intense, polite agreement with everything that makes a mockery of any attempt at challenging conversation. Even when Bucky started ranting about various street artists and why they are or are not sellouts, Berry would strenuously agree, despite the fact that—and I don't think I'm speaking out of turn here—the street art scene in Branson is rather limited. Banksy's new piece? "
mircea_popescu: "BRANSON, MO—Among the things that I dislike most in this world are patriotism, religion, tourist traps, country music, and the Walmart corporation. So I traveled to the one area of this nation that captures them all. It did not go as planned."

thickasthieves: cuz i am human and must invent gods
thickasthieves: i always assume the spikes are a new batch of miners testing then shipping
mircea_popescu: but yeah, i see what you mean
asciilifeform: (notice i didn't say 'mining btc')
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> some jobs simply do not parallelize. << i have trouble coming to terms with this concept. wtf do you mean ? they'd better parallelize or else can't work on a turing machine
BingoBoingo: Apocalyptic: I know.
Apocalyptic: BingoBoingo, pretty much, I wasn't being sarcastic
mircea_popescu: dude i go make some porn websites with stolen false names for five minutes and when i return the log scrolled off my desk
BingoBoingo: Apocalyptic: I mean right now it would be feasible to put a Bitcoin node pretty much anywhere with a wired internet connection other than Nepal or the Desert, yet... this constant bandwidth grow really only happen consistently in data centers.
pete_dushenski: "uhh let me make up numbers and not even mask the fact that they're made up because i'm typing in my retardedness."
pete_dushenski: "And then divide by… uh, I think 5, because Pieter’s libsecp256k1 code is 5 times as fast as OpenSSL." << love this line by gavin.
pete_dushenski: i should really start reading contravex
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: and i don't care specifically because we want bitcoin to take over the financial, and with it the political power in the world. all of it. << so *that's* why we're here!

xanthyos: in 2001 i was diagnosed "gravely disabled" and have been receiving social security since
xanthyos: i can deal with being schizo
mircea_popescu: honestly i'd rather go to some full contact sport thing than a shrink if the problem is violence.
xanthyos: i dont' like to do it
xanthyos: because i'm too afraid if i got a girlfriend i'd just end up BEATING her like the last one
xanthyos: i haven't had a girlfriend since 2004
BingoBoingo: <xanthyos> i'm too crazy to live << No such thing.
kakobrekla: x<xanthyos> maybe danielpbarron is right when he says i'm brain damaged and i can't trust my own judgment < its good you figured this before buying a bottle of vodka and walking into the woods. just listen to us.

mike_c: there was this woman around looking for work who was a writer, but i think she disappeared.
mike_c: my once-a-month pace already strains my time for writing. i don't think i'm the right fit for a newsroom.
BingoBoingo: mike_c: I dunno. It's all about the burn rate.
mircea_popescu: mike_c i don't think he was proceeding very calculatedly tbh.
thestringpuller: Yeah i think i'll stick to working with trustworthy people like Tapeke and blockchain! << blockchain is trustworthy nao?

mircea_popescu: i was a producer for a bunch shots, but that was back in the 90s.
