asciilifeform: you can lead a swine to perls but you can't make him... or how did it go.
asciilifeform: 'proof' , also note, ain't magic: there were and still somewhere are folx doubting , e.g., output of phuctor, even though all that is needed to verify is a copy of bc, python, whichever calculator, and a few min.
mircea_popescu: her line isn't "maybe it's good that fox news is on because what proof does sanders have that it isn't ?"
mircea_popescu: you won't hear Ireality Winner derp about how "what proof can Pantsuited Hilarity bring ?"
BingoBoingo: Still, his illiteracy doesn't make Petrus any less the protagonist in the story of things that happened to David

asciilifeform: in other lulz, via BingoBoingo , '"Reality, uh, you know we obviously know a lot more than... than what we're telling you at this point. And I think you know a lot more than what you're telling us at this point. I don't want you to go down the wrong road. I think you need to... to stop and think about what you're saying and what you're doing. Uhm, you know, I... I think it's a... an opportunity to maybe tell the truth. Because, uh, t

asciilifeform: i'm a little surprised that 'linux foundation' and prb foundation ain't on that list
mircea_popescu: apparently my boxes aren't needed, but hell yea roger ver's "money" that doesn't exist is more than welcome. and plox moar yubikey and canonical and if it's not fucking plain yet...
mircea_popescu: if it can be delivered a la FG, and it doesn't cost MUCH more than the current shits, defo.
trinque doesn't have GB internet connection, so old G4 + openbsd works great
mircea_popescu: ah. i guess, if you keep lists of which ones aren't too stupid byu nature
asciilifeform checks router in room and finds ~year of uptime, and would be longer if i hadn't cleaned it last winter
asciilifeform: i certainly can't bring myself to use the konsoomer crapola, when making a replacement that lasts ~forever and requires 0 nursing, is hardly even day's work
a111: Logged on 2017-09-29 03:28 asciilifeform hasn't deployed anything but hand-sewn router for maybe 4y+
asciilifeform hasn't deployed anything but hand-sewn router for maybe 4y+ ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and in other "asian people should just be holocausted" news : piece of shit router, gets set up to work on static ip, spews out the helpful error message of "the value can't be equal". verbatim. and the source of it is a pile of inclusion gnarl so you can't even trivially debug the nonsense THAT way.
mircea_popescu: ie, a haskell so pure it doesn't even run on machines, it's paper only.
mircea_popescu: right, but that's the very important point there, you don't get it without mutialrtion.
mircea_popescu: none of this is dispositive ; what i'm saying here is that im pretty sure i read this, and it didn't come through as much more than tyhe usual math grad wank to me.

This dream of many previous sultans and whatnots that nevertheless couldn't ever be fulfilled effortlessly came through, for me. I didn't even much care for it either way," << TMSR problems
asciilifeform: until you have a proof, a hash, cipher, etc. is 'strong until it ain't'
mircea_popescu: i don't care that "on average it's 5 trillion but for the value you chose it's two weeks"
asciilifeform: i get this, this isn't the problem. problem is the dismissal of the knowing-the-answer degenerate case
asciilifeform: the concept of 'minimal case for someone who doesn't know the key' is not meaningfully distinct from 'average case'
BingoBoingo: "That's exactly the problem. Yesterday I ate a most delicious desert out of my slavegirl's own ass, directly.

a111: Logged on 2017-08-16 18:33 mircea_popescu: the way this conversation is going, we can't have children us two until we get the baby room properly furnished and the safest crypto op is one that never finishes.
ben_vulpes: while i am definitely guilty of eking a half-decade out of a lathe with judicious application of idle six-axis arms found elsewhere in the facility, i don't think even the screw machine squad's hardware was mostly within expected lifespans.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo anyway, why is the idea WH was supporting strange ? didn't like, trump beleete his support tweets and errythang ? << http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/2017/09/27/trump-teaches-gop-senators-importance-of-selling-by-example-learns-limits-of-his-brand/

mircea_popescu: "there is no answer we can think of besides the one we don't want to!" and other http://trilema.com/2016/and-they-wont-fucking-yield/
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it's easier for them, they don't have to actually work.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: dark continent << didn't we have a d00d in za at some point..?
mircea_popescu: just so all knowledge is also presumed in the crown, and you knowing something "you shouldn't have" simply means you spied. what else could it mean ?
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-27#1717844 << you misunderstand ; the way sec works in these "insider trading" cases is very much EXACTLY alf's "peasant with rembrands go to jail". the man's crime is that he made money. simply and purely that, it is ASSUMED that he couldn't have known, on the strength of being a nobody. that's it. ☝︎
asciilifeform: and presumably whole affair didn't last long enough to connect the hose and form arsemouthsystem
ben_vulpes: perhaps 50k is the most one can hope to make on a short term 100% leveraged play in the states; i've no idea what his relationship with the brokerage was like but he *had* to have had a margin account, it would be an offense to the oldladyempire if someone didn't
asciilifeform: if it dun exist in gentoo mirrors, it likely ain't of any use
shinohai: RagnarDanneskjol: I know who you are, soul of Ragnar Lodbrok come back to haunt us on Woden's day. Well ye won't be conquering no earldoms here, no Sir!
BingoBoingo: <trinque> BingoBoingo: and hey, why don't you script a qntra deploy and blast it on a new VPS every other week? << A few reasons: 1. I r idiot, 2. Database updating constantly which means need box and not VPS rapehole, 3. This points to Republican ISP needed or no nice things
trinque: isn't like the thing has a phuctor-sized database to haul around
trinque: BingoBoingo: and hey, why don't you script a qntra deploy and blast it on a new VPS every other week?
trinque: this is why logbot was written such that services don't have to live anywhere near the server providing the IRC connection.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-27 02:42 trinque: got great deploy scripts for these things, don't need anything but an ssh hole to fire them at
trinque: got great deploy scripts for these things, don't need anything but an ssh hole to fire them at ☟︎
trinque: I operate under the assumption that I'm going to lose every box that isn't in my house, and probably also those
trinque: I don't expect that I'm moving back
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> granted mircea_popescu will prolly add 'this is of course only win for the bull, not for the farmer' but i've never been the farmer. can only add pov of bull. << Is it pov of contemporary bull if you haven't lost count of prostate shocks delivered by farmer for the sake of knocking up distant dairy with veal
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I follow the part re make your own hands - thing there is that there IS gain in that expenditure of time; and that gain is arguably more than the 15 bucks; however, I don't follow how does that lead to "makes sense just as much to collect coupons /whatevs "
asciilifeform: folx whose time ain't liquid ( which is most everybody in 'saecular world', incl. present-day asciilifeform , he could not smoothly double his pay by halving his spare time for one particular day and then not the next ) often do this sort of thing.
mircea_popescu: what happened to "there is no antidote. but the toxin won't kill you, it'll just turn you into a bimbo!"
mircea_popescu: I turned to the burglar. "There is no antidote. But the toxin won't kill you. You'll just wish it
mircea_popescu: heidi roizen blogging on tumblr like an idiot, because she can't fucking afford a house now.
cruciform: the WoT hasn't failed me yet
mircea_popescu: on the other side, i don't know there's anything wot doesn't apply to.
cruciform: fwiw, I don't know that the WoT applies to nubiles
mircea_popescu: there's no way out of this. if you don't write, you have to read, such as the thing you linked.
mircea_popescu: you can't turn terse explanations of the problem into lengthy discussions of implications taylored for idiots, what is this, black chix coding now ?
mircea_popescu: saying something can't be economically engaged in is a derivate of wovon, it's like babbage saying the problem of corectness can't be approached by mechanical means.
mircea_popescu: what stupidities the courts engage in isn't germane ; nor is anything else. it's not a social matter.
mircea_popescu: and re the other thing, nevermind the practicals. the point was that it isn't an economic activity.
diana_coman: cruciform, for one thing man at till is not producer - while I don't give "man at till" extra for the product itself (I might give him for the service if warranted, what), I might even want to give producer more if I consider what he does to be a great thing; payment is support at the end of the day; anyway keeping with your example the thing would be: man at till says it'll be $10, do you ask around in the shop if anyone sells
diana_coman: cruciform, if you don't mind for my curiosity: does the difference actually matter or above what threshold does it matter?
diana_coman: I don't have anything against others doing whatever, obv, just sort of ...not making sense to me
diana_coman: well, it's not whatever really; as far as I know there is only one maker of FG; and moreover, if I think the "widget" is underpriced then no, I don't waste time running around to ask maybe it's even more underpriced sort of thing
diana_coman: cruciform, I don't get it either: if you think NSA price is low anyway, then why are you looking for some other place to buy it for even less?
elaineo: aren't flood and life insurance companies only responsible for a single policy beneficiary?
mircea_popescu: that's why wives aren't sold by open outcry, for instance.
mircea_popescu: if they didn't obamacare-equivalent it, it wouldn't exist.
mircea_popescu: ~same would happen with life insurance, this isn't the 1890s anymore and yidish is not spoken in the home.
mircea_popescu: can't get any, it's not an economic activity.
mircea_popescu: ah you don't know ballas ?
elaineo: i don't think academia is as retarded as it's portrayed in MSM. they amplify the worst parts
elaineo: to be fair, it's a socially respectable career that doesn't require any serious work
mircea_popescu: wouldn't that be moar like it left you ?
elaineo: yeah, i didn't get tenure
ben_vulpes: not like it would be hard to wire keypads into them if they still don't have meaningful locks.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, it's hard to meaningfully lock a door when excavator sleeps within 100 yards of door. Doesn't leave much time to take position with anti-materiel rifle before it closes range
asciilifeform: ain't n00bz supposed to pm somebody an' ask ?
a111: Logged on 2017-05-23 01:04 asciilifeform: asciilifeform used 'dieharder' to reject a handful of screamingly defective analogue units , but currently isn't sure that it's good for much re a ~working~ one
asciilifeform: i'd be surprised if anybody's, at this early point, isn't... but this is by far the cheapest and easiest method for enemy to tamper, and leaves 0 physical trace
asciilifeform: btw ain't it riotously scandalous that the dieharder d00d never showed up here ?
asciilifeform: https://koinswag.com/shop/bitcoin-t-shirt/mpex-bitcoin-t-shirt/ apparently also
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/0TMj5 << meanwhile in brittardia >> 'As part of their enquiries, detectives seized Rabbani’s mobile phone and laptop for the purpose of examining it, but Rabbani repeatedly refused to provide passwords for the devices to officers. ... Subsequently, the officers arrested him on suspicion of wilfully obstructing or seeking to frustrate an examination or search under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000 ... He was t
mircea_popescu: more different now than a second before, apparently it didn't have elaine ou's pgp eithyer, notwithstanding it's on mit sks
asciilifeform: ftr, 'No, they don't have ads in the subway going "fat women are an insult to society", no they don't have steel bars at the entryways to make it impossible for the overweight to get in and bother people. Instead, they derp about "manspreading". Why this and not that ? Because while they are both intentional actions of responsible agents, the decision of the man to stretch is right there, whereas the decision of the woman to overeat
mircea_popescu: the whole "can't prosecute me for drunk driving, i popped a magic pill" angle was just too much to swallow
mircea_popescu: after all, what other basis in fact is there for all the "one weird trick they don't want you to know" / "the gubmint is supressing the water car" etc
mircea_popescu: apparently it "doesn't fall correctly" or somesuch
asciilifeform: London and LA << you wouldn't by any chance know the fella in old thread, http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-01#1709226 ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: haven't trierd
cruciform: I've registered my key, but it won't let me !!up
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz from elaine ou : "ripple", which apparently is an entity that scammed wall street "investors" out of 55mn "investment" managed to write "R3" which is a sort of nothing in particular an XRP option worth supposedly a billion (admitting ripple the fake coin is worth anything) and while they can't back out of it, there's legal wrangling lulz : https://elaineou.com/2017/09/20/r3-should-just-buy-ripple/
shinohai: I can't reach qntra either, get SERVFAIL reply
asciilifeform: 'do it or you ain't even thinking, but fermenting'
mircea_popescu: "do it or else alf won't like it and mp won't defend you and what else is there for you."
mircea_popescu: i'm not sure it has anything baked in above and beyond, "here's a billion we don't know what to do with, because we won it at the social mobility lottery, can anyone halp ?" resulting in an ad-hoc, informally specified, poorly directed and utterly undesigned effort to produce words and "numbers" in exchange for expense accounts.
mircea_popescu: work hasn't actually existed in 20 years, there's what we do, and redditard can't to anyway, and otherwise redditarding, which is entirely undistinguishable from simply being monkey in zoo.
mircea_popescu: bonus points for a text full of "I" as FUCKING IF he's me, except of course we don't get to even see the fucktard's fucking name aywhere.
