asciilifeform: mod6: what was this ?

asciilifeform: kakobrekla: aha

asciilifeform: 64... - none

asciilifeform: 96... - zoolag.ddns.net

asciilifeform: the first 195... is nosuchlabs.com

asciilifeform: ^ incitatus

asciilifeform: 64.85.171.71:8333

asciilifeform: incitatus - 30

asciilifeform: zoolag - 63

asciilifeform: dulap has 71 peers which is a new record.

asciilifeform: 366601 at this time

asciilifeform: all three nodes are currently up

asciilifeform: mod6: dulap (s.nsa flagship node) unwedged on july 10 when i fixed its clock. 'zoolag' was never wedged in its whole life thus far.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-07-2015#1210137 << i will repeat, i currently have no wedged nodes. even incitatus caught up yesterday and has been synced continuously since. ☝︎

asciilifeform: like commercial flying bus

asciilifeform: the infamous, original, flying goldentoilet

asciilifeform: what's that for, nyc to afghan and back ?

asciilifeform: saw it in museum, hanging, fuselage was the size of a compact car

asciilifeform: i think this is a 4-5x overestimate

asciilifeform: decimation: source for the 10k?

asciilifeform: empty ?

asciilifeform: because just about all of the complexity is in the computer.

asciilifeform: gave it to a phriend, who will strip away the dirt, it will fly

asciilifeform: worth no more than fiddybux when new

asciilifeform: in time square, found a ruined toy quadcopter

asciilifeform: pertinently, i went for a walk in nyc on saturday

asciilifeform: sorta the logical maximum of 'offload complexity to software'

asciilifeform: or much aerodynamism at all

asciilifeform: just pointing out that the appear of the multicopters is precisely that you don't need movable aerodynamic surfaces

asciilifeform: where you can kick it and it stays in same place.

asciilifeform: but you don't get the gyroscope balancer thing

asciilifeform: i mean, yes, it is elementarily possible to turn 1001 propellers from one engine if you wanted to

asciilifeform: ailerons ?

asciilifeform: phf: how does this machine stay horizontal ?

asciilifeform: for the self-balancing deal

asciilifeform: you need rapid and extremely replicable control over thrust

asciilifeform: mno

asciilifeform: where petrol engine turns dynamo, which powers a mighty multicopter

asciilifeform: actually the real deal might be a locomotive-style drivetrain ☟︎

asciilifeform: this is why there was no (afaik) petrol-fueled model 'quadcopter'

asciilifeform: 'here comes a candle to light you to bed, here comes a chopper to chop off your head' (tm) (r) (orwell)

asciilifeform: now ^ ~that~'s progress!

asciilifeform: decimation: i was quite surprised to learn that at least one of the 'self-beheading incident' model choppers was electric !

asciilifeform missed all of the good stuff, but had elder brother. and thus from as old as could speak and think, already regarded civilization as a strictly past-tense affair

asciilifeform: to hell with water.

asciilifeform: run sodium cycle.

asciilifeform: like any decent locomotive in a civilized town.

asciilifeform: and get new water from the spout.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: you let it out.

asciilifeform: part of the reason for cutting heads is so that no one even begins to idly contemplate the notion that 'you didn't build that'

asciilifeform: trinque: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=07-04-2015#1090204 ☝︎

asciilifeform: may have cooled their enthusiasm, if they had

asciilifeform: and yes, alchemists did not have access to fast neutrons

asciilifeform admits that can't try

asciilifeform: screaming, writhing meat.

asciilifeform: revolution is so that you can make this 'computer' from meat.

asciilifeform: if you told'em

asciilifeform: sorta assumed that grinder types would make it

asciilifeform: i also remember being told this.

asciilifeform: ^ this really got me down, as a boy

asciilifeform: like every other mega-hero

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/NapoleonsTheorem.html

asciilifeform: even has a theorem of his own name

asciilifeform: phun phakt: napoleon was a closeted maths type

asciilifeform: nah that's jp

asciilifeform: when nth beer is empty

asciilifeform: 1% who ?

asciilifeform: that's close to limonov's figure iirc

asciilifeform: ?

asciilifeform: can hope!

asciilifeform: hey, this could be the ~other~ nordic system !

asciilifeform: !up Erika-Mustermann

asciilifeform: or better yet, alive, and not being able to lift a finger, on account of them all wearing remote-switched detcord collars

asciilifeform: ^

asciilifeform: i've given it serious thought at times

asciilifeform: making own car has appeal

asciilifeform: or what phf said!

asciilifeform: you play again.

asciilifeform: mno

asciilifeform: the mega-appeal of revolution is, just as limonov summarized, it is a chance to trade in guaranteed-die-behind-desk for die-with-sporting-chance

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://www.orwell.ru/library/articles/revenge/english/e_revso << possibly

asciilifeform: i could, i think, watch telephone poles enter arses for 25 years.

asciilifeform: you say things like: 'you - spread yer legs.' 'you - spat on my father. spread your arse cheeks for sharpened telephone pole.' etc.

asciilifeform: one more or less had to scam a king to play

asciilifeform: considering the grantsmanship that went into el doradoism

asciilifeform: and in many ways, that time's 'silicon valley'

asciilifeform: well yes.

asciilifeform: a treasure hunt ?

asciilifeform: that's a new one to me

asciilifeform: who the hell sees the appeal of revolution in 'get rich' ?!!!

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: did not want to marry desk. i respect this.

asciilifeform: when considering what byron's likely alternatives were...

asciilifeform: in more or less the same sense that all other vigorous and healthy activity is sexual
