ben_vulpes: hey how about
this for a "txouts for later use in baking
transactions" serialization format:
textfile <tx_hash>, with contents <value block_height output_index>
lobbes smells a
tmsr archive server in
the future
☟︎ mircea_popescu: hm. or else it's an indexing problem. ancient links seem
to work.
mircea_popescu: i somehow don't believe
that
thing actually works as long
term archiving anymore.
mircea_popescu: heh in other lulz : archive.is apparently purged all
trilema saves older
than sept 2016.
shinohai: I have met camgirls
that play on
this reparations
thing ...gotta make dem white bois squeal
mircea_popescu: tl;dr
tedious poetess grabs some bread and meat for
the ancestors. reparations, bitch!!1
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Works because expensive safety shit is in vulnerable areas and costs much
to fix.
CompanionCube is a uktard but doesn't particularly like it.
There's not exactly much
to like at
the moment.
mircea_popescu: if anyone had asked
the uktards anything it'd even make a difference what
they
thought.
CompanionCube: by
terrorists could potentially be picked up by police.'
Today's standard British idiocy.
CompanionCube: '
The Cable.co.uk poll of 2,000 UK adults –
the first of its kind since
the Westminster attack – found
that 66% believe
the ability of intelligence agencies
to intercept messages between
terrorist plotters is more valuable
than
the digital privacy of
the population as a whole.' 'More
than half (51%) said
they would feel safer if WhatsApp and other messaging services were unencrypted because message sent

the satire (
http://n-gate.com/about/) is just
too complete for its own good
BingoBoingo: In Qntra submitter guidance: If writing on fake news, Jeff Bezos has owned WaPo long enough
to be namedropped as a Fake News
Tycoon
pete_dushenski: in other golden oldies, "Warren Buffett’s face will appear on cans of Cherry Coke in China, an attempt by Coca-Cola Co.
to capitalize on its biggest and most famous investor."
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes | in other ICE news, i got
the drift slut sideways a few nights ago! << nice! i'm guessing
this was on pavement but have you
tried gravel drifting ? (it's a
ton of fun and
the lowest speed way
to practise left-foot-braking)
a111: Logged on 2017-04-04 23:29 shinohai: Simple. Let
them
think
they are in control and bleed all
their money.
ben_vulpes: the bids and asks are all right
there in
the order book
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: remind me, why's her name on
the whiteboard
to begin with ?
shinohai: Simple. Let
them
think
they are in control and bleed all
their money.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: stern glares, and a mark under her name on
the whiteboard
ben_vulpes: to which
the smarter of
the girls in circulation sasses back with "well what makes /you/ so worth obeying?"
scriba: Logged on 2017-04-04: [22:45:47] <ben_vulpes> in "nothing actually has
to be out for it
to be insanely hot, honey"
pete_dushenski: some cars (ferrari) have paddles mounted
to
the column so
they're fixed regardless of wheel position. most others have
the paddles fixed
to
the steering wheel proper and so
they all move in unison. it's sort of a different strokes debate.
ben_vulpes: in other ICE news, i got
the drift slut sideways a few nights ago!
ben_vulpes: i never really figured out how one was supposed
to shift while
turning with paddles
shinohai: There is a Mexican lady here
that makes best damned queso blanco I've ever had. I've already stocked up on like 3 wheels of it.
shinohai: Is
this some of
the queso blanco popular in
that area ?
mircea_popescu: there's no scent whatsoever. at all. no runny. no mold.
the hunk of petrocheese is entirely undisturbed, as "fresh" as it was when it left
the plant, five years ago or whatever.
mircea_popescu: mp
takes
the item home, and over a dish of oyster mushrooms lightly sauteed opens up
the
TRIPLE WRAPPED!!111
thing.
mircea_popescu: mp can not possibly resist buying 75% discounted cheese
to find out why and wherefore it might have so offended
the locals.
mircea_popescu: in other sad stories, mp goes
to very well appointed market, purchases litany of items. notices chunks of discounted cheese floating around in
tub of iced water
scriba: Logged on 2017-04-04: [22:45:47] <ben_vulpes> in "nothing actually has

ben_vulpes: perhaps someone else can identify
that car
ben_vulpes: in "nothing actually has
to be out for it
to be insanely hot, honey"
ben_vulpes: oh goddamn it
this last one is buried in a megatonne of html horseshit
ben_vulpes: well
the joke is
that
there are
tits on display and i'm looking at
the vin
ben_vulpes: well if we're doing
themes, i have my own set queued up
shinohai: Neither does Atlanta, you should see some of
the land whales billing
themselves as "High-class escorts"
mircea_popescu: 50yo whore is in a ditch somewhere, and her
teeth in another ditch somewhere els.e
mircea_popescu: think in
terms of
that cartoon re final cs class at stanford : "and you are
the idiots who didn't get hired in 2nd or 3rd year". same deal, whoring is a fine plan for cut-above-rest 16yo. by
the
time she's 30 she's either married or
too rich
to care.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i dunno how much you partake of whores, but 50yos usually have
to be special ordered.
mircea_popescu: there's just about no way you'll beat
the stupid out of her head before she croaks.
ben_vulpes: there is also some
tiny arbitrage opportunity available i must point out; lock up
the contract and
then sell her off into improper slavery
shinohai: I suppose
there was a shortage of youger, more nubile slaves in
that particular region of Latin America.
mircea_popescu: we'll leave
the "who
takes on 50yo new slave" as a question for
the ages.
shinohai wanted
to refer her
to
the
Trilema article on
the subject of contracts
mircea_popescu: shinohai meh, contracts. how
the fuck is
this supposed
to work.
mircea_popescu [tried
to] watch emanuelle. holllllly shit pre-internet popculture is
terrible.
ben_vulpes: shinohai:
the interesting
thing from my pov is
that he had a stable connection forever
shinohai: znc is
too much necromancy for
the lurkers
ben_vulpes: midnightmagic: you plan
to fix your connection anytime soon?
shinohai: Yeah he was a Senior Software Engineer for
the Alphabet agency xD
mircea_popescu: if memory serves hearn was also merit washed as "something or
the other" engineer at google.
shinohai: The
twitter complaints are actually hilarious "Can we stop linking
to
the n-gate HN stuff?
The author's just generically contemptuous rather
than having any real insight into HN culture"
Framedragger blows dust off old
twitter bot account and uses some of
that gas mask canister
Framedragger: one can appreciate
the whatever-order derivative,
tho /
the writing style, yknow
shinohai: I love
this one "Hackernews wants it
to use
TLS,
the better
to paste passwords into it without feeling bad."
mircea_popescu: this guy is fucking
talented, it's almost like reading summaries produced by expert sluts! god. he's saving me a lot fo work!
mircea_popescu: "The Muskonauts post
their latest launch on Youtube. Hackernews
thinks
their kids will give a shit whether Elon recycled rockets.
The hilarity of Hackernews expectations of
the near future is not outweighed by
the repetition of
the
typical Hackernews output on space
travel: space is not worth exploring, yes it is, nobody will use
this, yes
they will, and
then six
thousand pages of bad economic
theory."
mircea_popescu: Maximum Hackernews is achieved as
the sentence "I am
too stupid
to understand
the context of academic research" is expressed as "now if you implemented
this as a web app, i'd be sharing it with everybody"
shinohai: If it was a real girl
they'd have
to settle for someone like covertress I imagine.
mircea_popescu: ke aimless poorly-managed floundering. IRCv3 continues
to be a retarded pile of solutions
to
the wrong problems."
mircea_popescu: "Google continues
the war against
their own users.
The XMPP Memorial Society
trades barbs about whose fault it is
that a misdesigned overengineered shitshow of a protocol failed
to gain
traction amongst non-erlang enthusiasts. Every single messaging platform in current existence is held up as Obviously
The Future. Hackernews
tries
to figure out what Google's master plan is, and why Google is working so hard
to make it look li
mircea_popescu: wtf was david chapman supposed
to have sold for "zillions of dollars" ?!
