nubbins`: well i guess you can loan out
a few to the rest of us
nubbins`: i'd wager maybe three people in here can do
a single chin-up
nubbins`: it's been less than
a year, she can deadlift her own body weight and has dropped ~30lbs :0
nubbins`: fad diets are
a pretty good lel
mircea_popescu: srsly, that's your idea, instead of
a nice pot of beans cooked with
a smoked leg over
a day and
a night
mircea_popescu: now listen here. the fact that the turks have worn salvari for x centuries does not mean
a suburban kid showing up for some school function in silken longpants isn't following
a fad.
mircea_popescu: this distinction is exactly the distinction between
a bug with security implications and
a deliberate security hole : they are both security holes. the finder of the bug both discovers and invents that security hole.
mircea_popescu: jurov: not openssh but openssL. as it is under BSD, they're free to do whatever wit it. << yeah openssl. not
a question of under bsd or not, idea was more like : the proof that USG.HB was
a thing, that was then implemented as openssl.HB is the fact that looky,
a Win.HB apparently exists(ed). like, if you find
a goat on
a field you may think you've both discovered and invented the goat. but if you then later find anothe
mircea_popescu: not so unlike sharing privkeys from
a purely bitcoin perspective
chetty: hahahaha I just saw what has to be the funniest traffic snarl ever. The train barrier on one side is stuck and cars/busses/trucks backed up as far as the eye can see. But its
a one way street and the other side is wide open, nothing stoppping people just drive to the left ...
BingoBoingo: Zimmerman was also
a Hispanic Jew so also kind of on the minority spectrum, also not
a police officer.
cazalla: BingoBoingo, think it'll be bad? they only smashed
a few things after zimmerman was found not guilty
jurov: at home i'm okay with just
a glass of beer or wine
jurov: the source continues "Samsung is one of
a few chipmakers capable of producing 10-nonometer(sic!)-class chips."
jurov: The Bitcoin Foundation is in discussions with Korean firms and financial authorities about setting up
a Bitcoin foundation in Korea.
cazalla: i've had
a few drinks but what is wrong with it
assbot: Peter Vessenes: Half
A Billion Dollars To Be Spent On ASICs Over 18 Months | Qntra.net
ben_vulpes: is there any interest in sharing
a pre-wedge blockchain built by 0.5.3 around?
mircea_popescu: "
A failure to properly filter specially formed packets makes it possible for attackers to execute attack code of their choosing by sending malicious traffic to
a Windows-based server." << sounds like windows had
a replica of heartbleed.
BingoBoingo: Refresh, someone found the old door, time for
a new door
decimation: not because the issue has been solved but merely because of
a new arrangement in memory
decimation: sure, but it is at least possible that is stomping on the code in such
a way that it doesn't work in one version, but then works in another
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> not directly
a cause of the wedge though
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: were i to use
a chain slightly downstream of the wedging to start the process, would that be less unlikely to work?
ben_vulpes: this script will take the wedged blockchain on disk; copy it into the testing dir; compile bitcoind from
a different point in the source tree; and boot it pointed at the wedged blockchain; and check to see if the output of 'bitcoind getblockcount' has gone up
ben_vulpes: my plan at the moment is to wait for my 0.5.3 binary to wedge itself, and then write
a script that hooks into the git 'bisect' tool.
joecool: must be
a canadian problem
nubbins`: asciilifeform actually knows
a fellow who lost lactose digestion as adult <<< this happened to my wife
nubbins`: currently using
a couple of cookie sheets, but they slide around
PeterL: nubbins`: use
a paperweight?
nubbins`: anyone know if you can carry money in
a regular wheelbarrow or do they make ones w/ nets to keep the cash from blowing away?
mircea_popescu: joecool i was just keeping his hands to the coals on the technicality of it. "retaining milk digestion past childood is
a recent adaptation" etc.
joecool: <ben_vulpes> upregulation and downregulation is
a thing < it's funny how many people forget this
mircea_popescu: i am pretty convinced the way milk became
a part of the diet is because of animal husbandry.
ben_vulpes: upregulation and downregulation is
a thing
mircea_popescu: PeterL how does that make sense ? if you have it as
a kid then it's there
mircea_popescu is
a firm champion of "eat whatever thoust will until you burst" diet, going on 40 years now
PeterL: lasted
a couple months
mircea_popescu: as
a craft i mean. obviously hard to fight
a proper steak
mircea_popescu: PeterL anway, i was just illustrating
a point. one of my fave meals is, pork wellington. my own invention.
fluffypony: stuff from
a takeaway joint on the corner is reserved for sushimergencies
mike_c: it is moving around
a lot
mircea_popescu: i mean, they all depend on being the only one as
a business model, by now the only firm guarantee that can be made is that nobody will EVER make
a dime in that market
assbot: Unicode chessboard in
a terminal | DaniWeb
gribble: Error: "kittenlasers" is not
a valid command.
gribble: Error: "kitten" is not
a valid command.
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic no argument there, but i just don't happen to give
a shit about chess, what can i tell you
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, easier to learn than to ask your opponent to adapt, especially if he plays quite
a lot
mircea_popescu: RetroUpriser sorry man, i'll have to take
a bow here. my table is too fubar for
a 3rd debug attempt
RetroUpriser: im looking at
a board and putting the moves in
decimation: asciilifeform: seems to me it would be easier just to send
a pcm signal like bpsk or something, but I guess this was before that kind of stuff was well known
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Game seems to be
a thing, just the non-standard letters are messing with my ingrained encoding
decimation: re: semi quad-copter << I don't get how that's more effective than
a semi-truck full of small guided ballistic missiles
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> 'Minutes later, Trooper Vanderwiel arrived with the dog, which alerted on the back area of the car. That gave Simmons and Vanderwiel probable cause to search the vehicle without
a warrant or the driver’s consent.' << lol re: the obvious implication, the beasts are trained to 'signal' on command rather than search << Pretty much an open secret by now
decimation: asciilifeform: "fiat 'was down'" << sometimes this happens because
a geomagnetic storm knocks down
a satellite - for example most gas stations in the us clear credit cards through satellite
mircea_popescu: And she had to apologize at once for her voice, which was
a very unfair voice for
a woman to use. Her voice was
a warm, luminous, timeless melody. "Excuse me-" she said, and she began again, making her voice absolutely uncompetitive.
mircea_popescu: "By their nature as vigilantes, acting outside or above the law, most superheroes have
a troubling undercurrent of aristocratic, undemocratic, authoritarian values."
assbot: Logged on 26-03-2014 03:30:35; asciilifeform: nitpick with pediwikia - the 'batman' in the epic is not wearing
a 'batman' costume. he's
a bloke who smashes heads with
a baseball bat.
BingoBoingo: From the lulzmines: "Batman is
a rich white psychopath who beats up poor people for fun. He is not now and never has been
a hero."
decimation: asciilifeform: in Stierlitz, the poor English translation for the word that refers to when
a spy is killed 'doing his duty' seems to be 'failed'
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> it's not even
a 'technology' in the sense semiconductor is - but more as arithmetic is. << quite agreed,
decimation: the original idea was to mark
a strip of paper with the morse characters, but very soon after the telegraph was introduced it was realized that operators could send by ear much more quickly
decimation: asciilifeform: when I visited Bletchley park, they told
a story about this. Apparently the germans initially sent the 'headers' in enigma traffic in plaintext before the message
decimation: re: spies << Stierlitz is
a psychologist
