The information here is already presented in a more up-to-date fashion at Trusted Computing, which is the correct title for the technology. "Fritz-chip" was never more than a moniker used by critics of the technology put forth by Sen. Hollings. The article now represents this fact. Warrens 23:24, 29 April 2006 (
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's transparently a case of "we optimize for average player", imo. if they figure out 90
% of time-spent-playing by a playerbase that averages 30
% completion is in the first 10
% of the game, therefore they'll aim to spend 90
% of resources to make that first 10
%.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform amusingly, that's almost 100
% whore/stripper fare, the "ancient pharaonic nigger" wank.
mircea_popescu: do you understand that all over this planet there's blkjfdl to the right of sldkjldkjf 99.99999
% of the time, and almost NEVER the other way around ?
mircea_popescu: there's an ancient german kiddie book i got as a kid, and it is 100
% the story of propaganda.
ben_vulpes: "While the rulings of the Stockholm court were not made public...Naftogaz managed to avoid Gazprom's major claim ... almost 60
% of Ukraine's GDP", so is this "the poor ukranians can't actually even pay the penalty, so we're cancelling the clause"?
mircea_popescu: "censored reddits" is about 500
% the extant reddit by mass.
mircea_popescu: that's 100
% what the shitstack is ; and i bet you amstan for instance is in shock over there in his silent dounce corner, "omfg, these people are impressed ~negatively~ with my political committments ?!?!?! they despisew me ?!!??! how could this be omfg"
mircea_popescu: otherwise they wouldn't go about pretending like they believe google is in any way different from groupon, a purely imaginary, 100
% paper construction.
mircea_popescu: but yes, re the тяжело в учении -- легко в бою bit -- it comes as a shock generally that "your training must ~exceed~ actual usage, by a ~factor~. you don't train for 80
% of what you'll do ; you train for 250
% to 300
%+ of what you'll actually do."
mircea_popescu: there's 20k or whatever who connect, and 99
% of the humans involved are on #trilema, it's ridiculous.
trinque: I don't think
%GET-ERRNO does what it seems. mkdtemp returns a null pointer on error, proper pointer otherwise, and I'm seeing that change depending on whether e.g. there's enough X in the pattern.
esthlos: as in (progn (#_mkdtemp (ccl:with-cstrs ((x "/tmp/fooXXXXXX")) (#_mkdtemp x))) (format t "~a" (ccl::
%GET-ERRNO)))
esthlos: can you check the errno with (ccl::
%GET-ERRNO) ?
esthlos: sorry, don't mean CCL::
%ERRNO-DISP is causing the trouble. CCL::
%ERRNO-DISP is setting errno to -38, even though it seems to successfully create the directory
mircea_popescu: trinque, i dunno that they're to be tracked, it'd be 100
% elbow grease of the porter and his beard.
mircea_popescu: i expect 80
% of the cases of "oh, i am being asked too much, this republic sucks" come from exactly this inept "oh, i won't do a good job, and wait for time to resolve it". yes, time will resolve it, but odds are the solution will hurt the butt.
trinque: I couldn't tell you 5
% of my teacher's names
a111: Logged on 2018-02-14 14:22 mircea_popescu: MEANWHILE, however, they have 100
% unaccounted for the time externality. so basically it's a contest consisting of a guy without legs going about finding fault with people's fingers. because he's decided "legs don't count", and so as he has much better hands than the rest of those losers he should be captain of the football team.
mircea_popescu: the commie notion of "den of prostitution" as fit to put on film... o brother. RIGHT THERE is why driving TR past any value the idiots could survive is 100
% justified.
mircea_popescu: there's 0 utility to 99
% of the us population, in economic terms. there's ~maybe~ some sexual utility in 9
%. but 90
% can be ablated today and without adverse effects.
mircea_popescu: whether you go "everyone takes exam, bottom 10
% get hung by those poles in schoolyard" or you go "nobody has to do anything and i can't explain all this cutting and anorexia", it makes entirely no difference.
mircea_popescu: anyway --- if i ran the moscow polytechnic, the advertisement would have been "either make it in the 1
% or else we will paradop you in america, or whatever other african shithole you belong to".
a111: Logged on 2018-05-24 13:28 mircea_popescu: you can expect actual payments in your hand in 1 to 2 cases out of ten tries (defining a "try" as having initiated a tx on localbitcoins -- which btw jumps randomly for unclear reasons), worth about 90
% of the lulsite price.

☟︎ mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-23#1817898 << guess. meanwhile some other coinbase prints a "bitcoin domination"
% (spoiler : it's very low, bitcoin dun matter bla bla bla), and then WHENEVER bitcoin moves the ENTIRE list of "blockchains" and "cryptocurrencies" movesd in sync. anyone with half a fucking clue would observe that if the movement is 100
% coupled then yes tyvm, bitcoin domination = 100
%. but then again, democratic
☝︎ BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ben_vulpes: gotta love the 'sonic attack' usg.partyline idiocy. described item ( supposing it physically took place ) is 100
% consistent with rf injury. << Or transient ischemia which is common in the chair sitting classes.
mircea_popescu:
% Total
% Received
% Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
mircea_popescu: check it out lol, 10k reported sales brought it down 10
%. such orcland prices.
esthlos: douchebag: but think about it, what
% of things to you think 20 year old making 35K a year working 60 hrs/week is right about? you're not looking at the evidence
mircea_popescu: due to how the imperial tax regime works, a gift of a few
%s of your current income may end up a net negative if it bumps your bracket, so you have the choice of either paying 15
% of 100
% or else 22
% of 106
%, the latter is worse even if 106
% is more.
mircea_popescu: douchebag, 99
% of criminals hacking companies are working for a criminal organisation calling itself "the united states govewrnment", and 99
% of the time their hacks include some rng-breaking component,.
mircea_popescu:
% of the gross or no deal. hollywood is notorious for cooking books.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, let me give you a little puzzler here. so, stanley wojtowicz, the guy that robbed a brooklyn bank to pay for lizzie eden's sex change operation but failed to produce any money this way, nevertheless got paid when sidney lumet made his film. he was paid, 1
% of the net. what's wrong with this ?
mircea_popescu: because tghat's the other angle of it : the "enchanted world of carding" is carefully engineered so it works as about 92
% of the return-per-work that "legit" drudgery works out to .
a111: Logged on 2018-05-21 22:47 ben_vulpes: mod6 asciilifeform: a sales incentive scheme proposal: we kick back 5
% of revenue to affiliates who've recruited up to 10 paying customers, 10
% up to 25 paying customers, 15
% to 50 customers and then 20
% for recruiting over 50 customers, which'd be a tidy .03 btc/mo, way better than any other "while you sleep" scheme out there.
mod6: or, bump it down in the middle maybe: 5
% @ 10, 10
% @ 25, 15
% @ 40, 20
% >= 50 (something like that)
