mircea_popescu: this was immediately and universally applied to what was perceived as a silly and pompous notion of the minority in question.
mircea_popescu: the source of the double r in writing is that right at the time gypsies decided to yet again rename in the early 90s, there was circulating on romanian TV a reading of a caragiale novel (romani verzi) mocking a very nutty sort of nationalism current in his time, that was being read in a particularrrrr manerrrr by a certain comedian.
mircea_popescu: "Sometimes, rom and romani are spelled with a double r, i.e., rrom and rromani. In this case rr is used to represent the phoneme /ʀ/ (also written as ř and rh), which in some Romani dialects has remained different from the one written with a single r. " << actually, this is incorrect.

danielpbarron: if there is profit to be made, the best structure for what you're describing is a stock that pays dividends; not a currency
BingoBoingo: <nOgAnOo> 1 coin = 1 seed.. depending on harvest volume... << Problem is you think 1 coin is one seed and I think one coin is a typhoon classs submarine
nOgAnOo: How would one asset back a coin at a non-set price?

BingoBoingo: "After noticing that he had fewer than 10,000 followers on Twitter, they bought him 100,000 in chunks of a few thousand at a time—although the number was in constant flux because Twitter kept zapping the bot accounts. The point to all of it was … well … They didn’t really seem to have one?"

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> "Please. WIRED is no longer a pirate ship. It’s the home of world-changing journalism." << Now a "Museum Ship"
mircea_popescu: "And it’s increasingly a place where we, and our New York colleagues and owners, host artists, founders, CEOs, and advertisers." splendid :
mircea_popescu: "Please. WIRED is no longer a pirate ship. It’s the home of world-changing journalism."
mircea_popescu: "Unfortunately, too often the place where we do that important work looks, at best, like a dorm room."

asciilifeform: curiously, it even has a hardware galois field multiplier. to tempt folks using elliptic curves.
asciilifeform: i'd avoid the built-in aes, etc. instructions. if i were hitler and ordering a 'magic packet' back-door for this device, i would almost certainly ask that it spit back recently-used operands for these on the wire.
asciilifeform: interestingly, thing has an rng, and manual actually provides a schematic supposedly for it.
mircea_popescu: yes, you can turn down commits that change he to her. if women get upset, that's because the women in question are stupid and they don't belong in tech ; yes you can use proprietary code. if anyone doesn't like it, anyone can suck a free bag of dicks ;
asciilifeform: and it doesn't happen on a pc.
asciilifeform reminds readers who may come across this device not to use vendor's turd - a fairly standard linux but with a closed kernel module, apparently
asciilifeform: this here gadget is a ~100 usd piece that handily runs, say, a btc node. with good performance.
asciilifeform assumes his isp is the mitm vector of choice, and hence does not regard router as a serious hardened component. but has many problems with reliability and programmability of the usual consumer turdware.
mircea_popescu: i'm going through a phase atm something like "fuck this shit, i need a non-pc router like i need an ipad."
asciilifeform: it has the cpu (really a soc), four drams, and a bunch of passives.
asciilifeform: it does come with a vendor turd os
asciilifeform: useful-things-announcement: a fairly civilized router, turns out, is one 'edgerouter lite' - 3 gigabit ports. mips64 processor with fairly good docs. nuke the vendor's turdware and install *bsd of your choice. the interesting thing about this gadget is that the firmware lives on an (internal) removable usb stick. can pull, examine, modify on standard comp, even theoretically install read-only unit.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: for instance, i've got a client who (for some silly reasons) basically needs to throw out their Solr index on a daily basis. << you know, a tool that empowers you to do sometyhing stupid is not a powerful tool.
mircea_popescu: <davout> the case kako was reporting about doesn't seem to have anything to do with jews <<< you don't see it because nose! it's a gentile^H^H^H^H redneck thing dub's on about. *we* understand.
Adlai: we should slap a QR code at the <holy site>
thestringpuller: that would be a rather conspicuous drug deal
Adlai: there's a lamassu at http://bitembassy.org/ that requires a QR code and cash. that's it.
thestringpuller: also if ATMs didn't require a fucking PALM PRINT to identify you
thestringpuller: davout: i'm running docker on local machines and want a cardano to hold certain application keys. plug that up to one of the docker servers. relatively easy airgap
davout: thestringpuller: i can't think of a purpose for which docker-based deploys would be equivalent to a cardano based setup
thestringpuller: really wish I had a cardano
ben_vulpes: "hey client, you have two options: either you get lotsa search downtime over the next week while i figure this out, or i write a zero downtime solr cutover thinger for ya."
davout: ben_vulpes: "needs to throw out their Solr index on a daily basis" <<< nasty
ben_vulpes: for instance, i've got a client who (for some silly reasons) basically needs to throw out their Solr index on a daily basis. the approach to date has been to drop the index at a low-traffic time, rebuild, and hope nobody notices. with docker, we can boot a new container, index into it, and then when the indexing is complete, shut the old solr container down and boot the new solr container. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: thestringpuller: one of my favorite things about containerization is the ability to upgrade running production services with a minimum of hassle.
fluffypony: everyone needs a bucket
davout: i guess that anti-semitism was seen as more of a problem when the law was made
thestringpuller: davout: it's like a smaller fork!
dub doesn't fully understand there is a separate bucket
dub: i pasted a quote from the article
davout: anyway, my point is that you either have free speech or don't, see the "just a little pregnant" bit earlier
davout: free speech is kindof a joke in france...
