mircea_popescu: "contracts like this" are more important for what they don't say.
mircea_popescu: take teh babe & minibabe to hong kong, wash state isn't going to hold up much later anywayz.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and i don't get it, gotta be a cool guy to fight with fire ?
asciilifeform realized that 80+% of the joakes, don't translate worth a shit, e.g. 'Штирлиц дрался с огоньком. Огонек дрался как мог. Мог был парень крутой. А Крутая слабаков не жаловала.' << can this be made to work in ro ? or do you need agglutinative declensions necessarily.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> 'While Defendant has surrendered her passport and cannot obtain another one in her own name, this obstacle provides little assurance given her self-described desire to "burn the White house down" and "[find somewhere in Kurdistan to live ... or Nepal."' << Lol, mebbe shouldn't have got her balls from a syringe?
asciilifeform: otted against the United States Government. Gov't Ex. 11. On the same day, Defendant wrote her sister she hated America. When her sister responded with incredulity, Defendant proclaimed again she hated America and explained she feels this way because America is "literally the worst thing to happen to the planet."'
mircea_popescu: of the minority qualified, there's readily distinguished three categories : the utter imbeciles a la maria schneider, sewing up their togas "for modesty!!!" ; the tolerant girlies who put up with the couch but no more ; and finally gia -- the chicks the fucking couch itself can't keep up with.
mircea_popescu: anyway, back to gia : women, in the http://trilema.com/2016/portrait-of-an-adult-woman/ adult woman sense, have some things to do in this world. like say http://trilema.com/2014/holy-shit-technical-analysis-is-real/#footnote_0_57849 ; these aren't jobs that can be done by non-women, and when they try the results are as sad as shakespearian theatre (not the text, the actual montage).
mircea_popescu: and speaking of aids-en : isn't it a pity nobody's yet made a film out of gia carangi's life ? that chick was ACTUALLY a model, in the most proper of senses. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: stopping smoking doesn't reduce cancer, because the sort of shameful shitsacks that GET cancer will get it, whether from smoking or not. if not from smoking -- they'll find a different stressor. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: your cat isn't giving you toxoplasmosis even if asimov's cat gave it to him is because you don't get toxoplasmosis, not because it doesn't have it to give ; this is exactly the link to http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-25#1716989 ☝︎
asciilifeform: it isn't even that asciilifeform is particularly enamoured of 'serpent', but does believe that any cipher that cannot be implemented in the style shown in the paste, is ipso facto braindamaged beyond repair
mircea_popescu: hm, wait, isn't this the item that was similarily-vulnerable to des ?
mircea_popescu: in other items of republican interest : eulora is at a stage where we have to set down what we'll use for sensitive data encryption (such as for instance the privkey files). i don't particularily wish to use aes ; anyone wants to contribute to this emerging spec ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and this is evident both in how people dissolve the kolhoz once it becomes "politically" untenable (bullshit. there's no such thing as politics exactly like there's no such thing as "her feelings". she got fuicked because she got drunk, she got drunk because she was in the bar, and she went to the bar to get herself drunk to get herself fucked. politics is the "why" and economics is the "what she did".) : either they attack t
mircea_popescu: but you can't have some bloodwork you didn't need today because they had some extra capacity, nor can you not have a yellow fever shot when needed because they'll have some next week. by next week their value is 0.
asciilifeform: ( the sad thing re nfs co, is that it is in fact a kolhoz, quite like amazon's and the rest, but more ancient and built by actual men, vs 'millenial' scum, and so it actually ~works~, and delivers on the promise -- you don't own your hdd, BUT you never have to go down from a dead hdd; you own no ip; BUT no ddos; etc. it however IS STILL A KOLHOZ , with the complacency and inevitable day of doom that comes with this. ) ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-05-10 16:21 asciilifeform: IT ISN'T A STATIC IP !!!!
BingoBoingo: "A quick consultation with Satan established that Our Dark Lord and Master doesn't like her much at all. Satan doesn't like furries even though Satan is, himself, a yiffing furry with a Goatlord fursona - Satan is allowed to be a hypocrite because he is Satan." << Not bad, but #trilema sorta raises the bar above this. Oh to go back to binge reading ED 2009
davout: the akamai thing just didn't make much sense to me
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, https://archive.is/LeUKx#selection-4015.124-4015.211 <<->> http://trilema.com/2014/spamming-reddit-an-experiment/#selection-2863.0-2863.4 yet STILL can't come out with "oh ok, whadda ya know, turns out MP owns all teh interwebz".
mircea_popescu: i don't go to school and i kill people.
mircea_popescu: PSA : hey schmucks -- it's ok to exist without attempting to pretend you're me. seriously now. being MP isn't for everyone. not quite managing to be MP isn't the end of the world.
asciilifeform: find "normal" pictures of him - or Arkady - or "Red Countess" (his (ex)wife). It is just plain and simply impossible to make any fun of him any worse than this. What more could you say that isn't actually true already? David Gerard himself is disappointed that this article doesn't make fun of him more.'
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in orlols, https://archive.is/Bz5MY >> 'The final numbers, announced early the next day, came to exactly 59 dead and 527 wounded, and they haven't been updated since. Of the wounded, not a single person has subsequently died. It appears that the only two options were instant death or swift recovery.'
phf: mircea_popescu, asciilifeform i will admit i didn't read the article, original is in ru, various english transcommentaries are no better than this david guy.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and the hour is nearly come, t=-<1wk .
shinohai: https://www.bitfinex.com/posts/227 <<< I archived this but has annoying white block in page, can't read
asciilifeform: 0 customs problems with ^ . even though i'm pretty sure that if you bring something that looks like this to an american post office, you won't get to walk home on own legs
mircea_popescu: if the merchant being "Stolen" from doesn't believe he could be a fieldmarchal's father one day, what sells him on it ?
mircea_popescu: both did the right thing. first, teardown of the nonsense, with a lot of "unnecessary" collateral damage -- except if it weren't damaged it'd have been way the fuck necssary to damage it.
asciilifeform: i didn't colour the revolutions, as error
mircea_popescu: anyway, to underscore : i don't mean "cultural degradation" in some kind of paseist "o woe, things used to be great". no. rather, things used to suck and it finally became obvious what the problem is exactly. and as luck usually has it in such contexts, first you gotta throw out all the babies with all the bathwaters, then draw new baths, make new babies...
asciilifeform: i dun have hard proofs, but... it isn't inconceivable that, e.g., french rev & the consequences, happened when it did because of genetic degradation
mircea_popescu: the historical approach to this divide, proclaiming women dumb "by nature" and splitting the cake that way is evidently suboptimal and won't be revisited.
asciilifeform: upstack, i can't resist to point out that story in http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-16#1725769 with the gold mountain, is quite similar to the infamous chinese pyramids ☝︎
asciilifeform: sorta how d00d who is 3 metres tall, and chix with tits that require wheelbarrow, live in p.t. barnum's circus, and not 'winners'
mircea_popescu: i don't see any of them here, is the logic, so they were gassed at 0 cost.
asciilifeform: didn't mircea_popescu have an article where 'EVERY gurl despises 'her stupid mother', but then she lives another 30y and becomes exactly that mother'
asciilifeform: ain't that how we get untermenschen to begin with
mircea_popescu: they do regress to the mean, but then again you don't want the girls to use them as spawners anyway.
a111: Logged on 2015-10-16 15:12 mircea_popescu: aka, pay for all our sins, as we can't afford to do it. and so you get godfathers, and get to enjoy the movie. that's his role in the community : that he pays your blodgelt for you.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i thought ~all~ telecoms 'parlayed edge into value' -- if it weren't for the captive audiences, they'd be in the position of someone selling air ( and not on mars. on earth. not compressed, but stp. etc )
mircea_popescu: that figure isn't right btw. .9.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> now, as to the matter of prices: the principal matter is whether you peer or you don't peer. peered traffic is FREE. unpeered traffic is about $9 per month per Mbps installed capacity. << AHA, long term idea is outgrow a major expense by becoming hot, sexy, blonde, pert peer
mircea_popescu: now, as to the matter of prices: the principal matter is whether you peer or you don't peer. peered traffic is FREE. unpeered traffic is about $9 per month per Mbps installed capacity.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i would be surprised if there wasn't somewhere in teh walls of supersekrit beijing a document describing how creating an equivalent of the north atlantic in the south china sea is a fundamental chinese military/strategic goal for the year 2030.
mircea_popescu: cloudflare doesn't even figure in this kind of discussion. and so on.
mircea_popescu: anyway : worldwide traffic is what, 1mn petabit or thereabouts. the http://trilema.com/2016/the-megawatt-standard/ very much applies, we can't seriously propose to control x% of world's capital without controlling similar %s of energy production, data interchange etc.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> what the fuck, "internet doesn't really exist" next ? << This exercise has done more to inform "How internet exists" than previous 31 years of life.
mircea_popescu: petabit connections are routinely leased ; and if they aren't leased by us that ONLY means we suck and no more.
mircea_popescu: what the fuck, "internet doesn't really exist" next ?
mircea_popescu: yes, it isn't a secret, but apparently you've retreated into insanity with this whole thing.
asciilifeform: it isn't a seekrit , how it works
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and those don't run boxes then ? what is it, come out of a netflix toothpaste tube ?
a111: Logged on 2017-10-16 19:03 asciilifeform: there are entire orcistans that don't add up to 30G/s sustained.
mircea_popescu: the irony isn't even the "not free" part ; but that what this fellow paying two average salaries per head gets is NOT WORTH MONEY.
asciilifeform: ( i have a very similar problem in meatspace -- i live in rented houses. the market for this is extremely thin ( discussed in old threads, i won't repeat ) because the expectation in gringolandia is 'if you have that kind of money, why wouldntcha BUY!111' etc )
asciilifeform: they don't rent cages.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: don't be asciilifeform from 3 wks ago who wondered why dc folx don't return calls, after he asked for '1u'
asciilifeform: there are entire orcistans that don't add up to 30G/s sustained. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Don't forget the ritual asking of questions over multiple round to show interest while panicking that someone is looking to buy!
mircea_popescu: yes but the problem here isn't tech, it's "what to do when someone says hello".
mircea_popescu: i can't even claim that much. irresponsible enough to even know there was anything to doubt.
mircea_popescu: and i am starting to see the point of us military strategists a lot clearer thjan i ever did these days. just because the chinese got together a bunch of rockets doesn't automatically mean anything.
mircea_popescu: in any case, it's not even that the us HASN'T written "the great american novel", as the historical consideration. it's that IT WON'T. and similarily, it's not that africa never discovered madagascar -- it's that IT NEVER WILL. and so following, bedouins never discovered flight NOR WILL THEY.
mircea_popescu: as i sure as fuck don't have the energy to dribble personally into each one,.
mircea_popescu: but the important point isn't "the people", those don't matter. the important point is that mylord newton, an otherwise busy man, did take time out of penning his alchemical considerations to point out to impudent man servant that if the boots don't need to be shined every night, the manservant doesn't need to be fed ever day, either. DID TAKE THE TIME.
mircea_popescu: then, they wouldn't wear the aprons ALL the time
mircea_popescu: first, they wouldn't take the garbage out EVERY night anymore
mircea_popescu: "perfectly capable of sitting inside someone's cellar, hand-making shitty rifles in the unverified belief that ww2 still rages above, cca 1970 ?" YES! certainly. "dumb enough to imagien can't bring acordeon to hospital to break patriarch free because ourdemocracy.,rules ?" absolutely not. "boring enough to just sit on ass and chew hay like a fucking herbivore ?" nope, never.
mircea_popescu: "but mp, how do you know cat isn't reading ? its eyes move..."
mircea_popescu: madagascar isn't a unique example, either. it's just a very anthropologically convenient one, very clean and pure so to speak.
mircea_popescu: this wasn't a copy job. this was "average human" reaching deep down and reconstructing usg.
asciilifeform: when orcs make the straw plane, they don't make wunderbar mega-improved glider, no; but straw boeing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i went for various baths of essernce d'subnormal these past days. most heads don't fit anything whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: ftr i don't accept that "proven".
asciilifeform: that shouldn't work tho, the original was simply nosuchlabs.com/rss
mircea_popescu: "in the most likely airflight scenario, the pilot doesn't even need a highschool equivalency degree, just sit there and watch the pretty lights. not like all planes are going to crash".
mircea_popescu: this is exactly the automattic bs, "oh, this hole is not a problem because attackers can't use it"
asciilifeform: 'In the most likely attack scenario, the hacker would have to directly connect to the Wi-Fi access point, and so would need to be within physical proximity to the router. "This attack doesn't scale," noted Alan Woodward, encryption expert from the University of Surrey. "It's a very targeted attack. Not like we're all going to be hit as attackers can only be in so many Wi-Fi zones at once."' << choice nonsense -- as if you can't hop f
ben_vulpes: probably implies something is terribly amiss with this box if searching for 2303 doesn't turn anything up
mircea_popescu: isn't blood libel when some chick that's not even that hot falsely claims to have lost her virginity with you?
mircea_popescu: and it wasn't even true!
BingoBoingo: Well, was whining in an OpenBSd list about why OpenBSD doesn't have MORE unicode and MORE NSA SEL turds, this is their statement on paranoia
mircea_popescu: i couldn't make heads or tails of it. anyway.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-14#1725327 << i don't see how it needs carry-save ☝︎

shinohai: Don't open Slate this morning then, stupidity in form of "This Week, It Was Particularly Rough to Be a Woman" abounds.
mircea_popescu won't rehash.
asciilifeform: it still isn't clear to me how this algo can modexp to the power of 1.
apeloyee: you don't have fpga that large.

a111: Logged on 2017-10-07 19:30 asciilifeform: the interesting imho discovery is that heathen bignumtrons don't win much (or even any!) speed by normalizing the ints being added/subtracted
mircea_popescu: lotta "i am so smart! i am so smart! sold out of btc at 36. s-m-r-t!"
BingoBoingo: Looks like the Pinoys can't do it: "hello sir I'm sorry to inform you that it is not possible to met your requirement of 14Gigabits but our offer of 10mbps for 504 USD and  we can upgrade that as your needs increase still stands." -jolo
