BingoBoingo: Well,
time
to start fussing over
the next piece
shinohai: Maybe s/security is
top notch/security is some of
the best available/
shinohai: meh I kinda flubbed
the closing on
that article, but still lulzy
BingoBoingo: Costa Rica v. Argentina defiitely shaves some months off of
the drive
jhvh1: shinohai:
The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: considering how poorly understood infection is, i wonder how many of
the contemporaneous faux males are actually biologically infected with dumbass rather
than just genetically unfit.
mircea_popescu: ONE of
the
things wolbachia does is... feminize! (because sperm can't carry it, only females do). so it makes
these feminine or pseudo-feminine male insects.
mircea_popescu: here's some random lul : wolbachia is possibly
the most successful bacteria ; in any case is
the most widely distributed sexual
transmitted disease ; about half of all insects extant carry some form ; many species can't reproduce if uninfected, or cant' even survive.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: i
thought
this was how warren buffet got rich
ben_vulpes regards
the fireproof lockbox of stamps sadly
ben_vulpes: veen's over
there ranting about how "fuck buddy and here i
thought forever stamps a decent hedge against inflation but NO
the FUCKING GOVERNMENT can just MAKE YOU BURN
THEM"
trinque: mircea_popescu: congrats on
the move! enjoyed my brief
tour of CR very much, will be back
through someday.
mircea_popescu: tzetze is one of
the most effectual human repellants.
there's a large area of verdant africa which stays
that way because neither cattle nor obamas can live
there.
shinohai: A bit more merciful
than
teste flies.
shinohai: I see you have
traded
the machete for an umbrella.
shinohai: I have
the
tied up girl
too ... perfect for my guests earlier.
mircea_popescu: oh, and also, as
the latest addition
to
trilema headerspace may attest, i look strapping in a panama hat!
mircea_popescu: but
there's a general "This place is
too fucking cool
to sleep" vibe, and besides -- no one may claim
they've had fruit before having
them in cr. whole different ballgame re what ripe actually means.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes one of
the best
things
to do with import sluts is
take
them up
the arenal, you can watch
the lava flow in
the night.
ben_vulpes: i would very much like
to piss into both oceans on
the same day
mircea_popescu: the beach goes
to both atlantic and pacific
though, and
the mountain's really a volcano, but anyway
mircea_popescu: anyway, cr geography is very california-like.
there's beach and mountain.
ben_vulpes: nono, i'd love
to! 'twould be a riot! i am just exceptionally lazy
mircea_popescu: the
thing is supposed
to be an amenity not an inconvenience at any rate.
ben_vulpes: not doing a lot of
travel for
the next few years for obvious reasons
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes anyway, so bring
the fixed ones ; or give it a few weeks, either way.
mircea_popescu: seems it peaked at 550 confirmed cases in august 2016 and is down
to ~50 suspected cases by feb.
mircea_popescu: "As of W5 2017, 1`722 confirmed cases of Zika have been reported in Costa Rica. As of W50 2016,
the cantons reporting
the highest cumulative rate per 10`000 population are Garabito(289), Orotina (266), and Esparza(235)."
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: imposes a great big fucking weight on a man's pocketbook, above and beyond
the
typical spawn
mircea_popescu: may be a problem down by
the beach ? (humans live way up in
the mountain here)
mircea_popescu: (believe it or not
this was on mp's list of
things for
the scouts
to look out for. not because of any disease per se but because i can't fucking stand
the buggers.)
mircea_popescu: wait. do you mean YOU got zika fever and can't
travel, or do you mean costa rica has it ?
a111: Logged on 2017-03-31 18:09 mircea_popescu: actually i was
thinking, im not going
to hold another conference, because it's just not a sane opsec proposition. however, one fellow at a
time coming down for a week or somesuch is more
than
tenable. what's airfare, fiddy bux ? pack up
the missus an' come say hi.
mircea_popescu: they wanna hang people who can do, not

their own.

a111: Logged on 2017-03-29 17:59 mircea_popescu: correct strategy when dealing with
the empire of idiots -- hang
the idiots, not
their handlers.
Framedragger: no i agree, should educate self before saying
things like
that, so will do.
mircea_popescu: my only problem is
that
they use google groups. had
they had an irc room i'd have dropped by. a well.
mircea_popescu: you'd prolly need 4k machines
to do full port scans daily
mircea_popescu: full port is slow and expensive
though. "Censys collects data on hosts and websites
through daily ZMap and ZGrab scans of
the IPv4 address space, in
turn maintaining a database of how hosts and websites are configured."
mircea_popescu: Framedragger nice info dump
that censys.io
thing
though
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
there's many different kinds of
them.

mircea_popescu: i wonder if anyone
tried pouring some honey on
the
things. maybe
they were just aiming for colibri ?!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
there's
this distinct clicking colibris make when
they come for
the first morning drink.
mircea_popescu: actually i was
thinking, im not going
to hold another conference, because it's just not a sane opsec proposition. however, one fellow at a
time coming down for a week or somesuch is more
than
tenable. what's airfare, fiddy bux ? pack up

☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah.
ten years increased
the size significantly.
mircea_popescu: it's exam
time whole city is full of kids all ages (jr high even!!) walking
to exam centers
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform get a load of
this : kids get examined EVERY YEAR.
shinohai: Feel free
to share pics for science.
mircea_popescu: i say, girls here have a lot better
tits
than argentines.
shinohai: Today is "International
Transgender Day of Visibility" .... Where's Leah ?
