ben_vulpes: power is always undeserved
to
these people
mircea_popescu: how about "bitch, if you could know
truth if it hit you on
the head you'd be in power". not fucking evident enough ? how
the fuck are
the powerless
to obtain
truth, from
their father,
the god of
the stupid ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in other unimportant matters, wtf is with
the idler party and
that "speak
truth
to power" meme ?
jhvh1: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
mod6: all set, list is updated.
thanks for
the heads up.
mod6: sure
thing, pete_dushenski
pete_dushenski: i'd like
to
take
this opportunity
to introduce 'constantine' (37.59.43.190) as an infrastructure
trb node. he will be replacing 'laocoon' (62.113.203.216), who will be henceforth relegated
to
testing duties. cheers!
pete_dushenski imagines alum-in-v-pipe
to be as sharply edged as rain gutters he picked up from orange depot
today. winces.
shinohai drives F1 car with alf's
thermonooklear device affixed into pentagon .... "ALLAH SNACKBAR!"
pete_dushenski: shinohai: f1
tires are wider
this year! look more like cars of olde (ie 70s)
a111: Logged on 2017-05-08 17:35 asciilifeform:
this was konsoomer auto, not 'formula1'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform gcc is no longer an interesting
tool - llvm
took over. currently being maintained as "coreboot".
ben_vulpes: we have some beets
too, but
they're in
the good dirt
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Nice.
That is indeed a part of
the root vegetable paradox. I imagine
the best beets are grown in potter's clay
ben_vulpes: unsurprisingly,
the radishes sown in mud away from amended soil
taste
the best and are
the beefiest.
pete_dushenski: mod6, asciilifeform : re : 'from whom' patch : it would definitely be a useful
tool for mapping network connectivity.
shinohai: I know lots of Mexicans
that work cheap, no biggie.
shinohai: I use
the ball peen for hammering out
teeth.
BingoBoingo: Klein and Knipex make adequate
tools of
this sort
BingoBoingo: Good one should have grip
to pull
toe nails and heft
to hammer out
teeth
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Don't forget
the 9 inch linesman pliers in case you have
to
take into bondage not a pretty girl
shinohai: I shall!
Then when someone knocks and asks "Pardon me, do you happen
to have a ball-gag handy?" I can reply with an enthusiastic "Yes!"
mircea_popescu: splurge and spend
the 15
to buy a ball gag. it's one of
those items, like cased bullet,
that can't really be replaced in
the kitchen.
shinohai: You never know with me. I have a girl here I'd love
to stuff a ball-gag into as we speak.
ben_vulpes: briefly
thought you were
talking about ball-girl.
phf`:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-10#1653984 << so i got a copy, mine had a mechanical looking gash in
the spine, had
to send it for replacement. otherwise it's not horrible. it's a cheap
thermal binding, but
the paper is crisp, and
the source is
TeX so it looks reasonable.
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: see alf,
that's
the problem with fuckgoats,
that nsa doesn't have an email spam service.
THIS GOES AGAINST PRINCIPLES!
a111: Logged on 2017-03-08 22:29 mircea_popescu: in other lulz : femen,
the "ukrainian" organisation is selling shit priced in dollars via 2checkout.com,
the columbus ohio us corp.
mircea_popescu: don't
tell me ivan a ivanov is not a real name either!
mircea_popescu: guy's name is fucking epic for
the purpose, i confess.
trinque: at least in
the states
these slugs switch jobs every 6mos
trinque: asciilifeform: "An NDA may or may not be appropriate but I'm unable
to evaluate
the matter without ..." and give him something
to do
diana_coman: that's quite how I read it
too
tbh but I admit I have limited experience with
this sort of interactions
mircea_popescu: kinda how
the czars (back before
the muscovy
took over) kept painting selves in byzantine headgear. ENNOBLEMENT!!!
trinque thought
the whole point of
the bureaucracy was
to provide cover for *not* following
teh rules.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman seems entirely likely
the item is onlyt
there because in
their experience ustards perceive its presence as "professional"-ing.
mircea_popescu: the entirety of us economy consists not of principals but of agents. why would anyone hire a full servcie broker
to churn
their holdings ? because
they get paid on commission!
diana_coman: have you considered
that
they might be simply *copying* IBM and
the like 'cause
that's "how it's done"? i.e. nda etc
mircea_popescu: you're
too focused on what's here evidently a minor add-on.
mircea_popescu: hey,
the russki's are
trying
to be civilised. absent any signal from you as
to what civilisation entails,
they end up following
the pantsuit ustards.
mircea_popescu: as you might imagine, "Sales & Business Development" not
the most exciting line of work.
mircea_popescu: aite, ima buy some whatever
the shits and not give
them
to you
then!
mircea_popescu: thenh negotiation can begin : we leave off wiping
the us ;
they leave off
the nda, it's a give and
take process.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so what's
the problem ? point
them
to nsa fg page, explain
the company is working on an uninterdictable nuclear missile
to wipe
the united states off
the face of
the earth.
mircea_popescu: nothing beats 1.5m from hips
to floor wanting
to see director. certainly not a letter.
