asciilifeform: shinohai: that doesn't solve the problem of a d00d who has nfi how to keep a key
fyr: to take on the liability of "don't lose this file or you'll get much more reputational harm than just not registering in the first place" ☟︎
fyr: Like I'm not saying it is ~an utterly impossible insurmountable burden~ I'm saying I don't have any threat models for which it makes sense ☟︎
fyr: "Without help" is a bit harsh, and implies I shouldn't read the ~practical guide~ just linked, but if I have srs keys nobody gets to touch them ya
fyr: Anyway I'm sure I can be talked into it eventually, but I don't have it set up /already/ and am not going to go on a multihour Fetchquest to that effect rn
fyr: But that doesn't actually solve the "2 years later I drop it in the bath" problem
shinohai: "and dump the private half in Dropbox" <<< please don't fucking do this
fyr: Afaict the whole point of the nickserv pgp thing is I can't come in a month later all "my laptop finally died of blunt impact trauma, accept new unsigned pubkey pl0x" ☟︎
fyr: My "urbit-turd" is ultimately on a test-net, and doesn't have live keys
asciilifeform: sageprobes: if you don't have a probe+amdmobo, you probably will not find these very interesting.
sageprobes: was expecting a forum tbh, I don't actually have a sage probe I would need help with but was curious about battle stories

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-31#1707320 << this knife has another edge, ben_vulpes . most commercial ops don't have the budget ( time, mainly , but money also ) for ActuallyWorksAndFitsInHead(tm). ( picture, if you will, ffa as a commercial project at a secular software co ) ☝︎
mircea_popescu: for all i care, i doesn't have internals.

BingoBoingo: <kanzure> mircea_popescu: the trick is convincing everyone to give me their science each day. most people just say "nah you'd die from information overload" but they haven't tried. << Have you tried building an obelisk for your science. I hear it works wonders.
asciilifeform: 'don't print at elsevier, go... ELSEWHERE '
BingoBoingo: * asciilifeform was about to ask 'she ain't named tanja lange...?' lol << LOLOLOLOLOL
mircea_popescu: but don't put in the wrong figures.
asciilifeform: this is so. but in the process exposed that whole edifice is a prestigefarm: 'it won't get me tenuretracked at shitbridge, why should i print there'
mircea_popescu: which should answer #hpluswhatwas it's curiosity. i can coerce, because people can't live with themselves if they don't do as i say. a lesson some learn on own skin and some intuit naturally.
asciilifeform: it ain't ever coming out of said slices except by hand entry
mircea_popescu: what, you weren't there, what the fuck happened ?
kanzure: mircea_popescu: the trick is convincing everyone to give me their science each day. most people just say "nah you'd die from information overload" but they haven't tried.
asciilifeform: ( it doesn't texthighlight, however )
mircea_popescu: omfg my derrogatories don't even register with this guy.
kanzure: i haven't checked if that's the case.
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: criuise ships don't really check ID + bribes exist. I can probably take a one way cruise, hop off & become someone else if I felt like putting in the effort/
gabriel_laddel_p: don't be poor.
mircea_popescu: has to be federal, which wouldn't be for "trespassing" ie i got drunk at a party.
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: can't get passport
kanzure: yes but the scihub person isn't do that :(
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: fwiw, can't wait for the 5-10 years or w/e to come meet irl at some point.
gabriel_laddel_p: to finish that story, I was not even at this party, and don't to any of them + have started charging people to meet with me.
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: nah. like 20-something. I don't talk to her or anything, but, again, people run into, ban, then discuss me at lenght
asciilifeform was about to ask 'she ain't named tanja lange...?' lol
asciilifeform: he ain't named bernstein by any chance??
gabriel_laddel_p: girl was not attractive enough for me to care, already been paid, the startup idea isn't even an idea
trinque: asciilifeform: so why didn't he come work for you then?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it ain't a static blob of warez, there is l as i understand, a snarfer , proxytron, etc

mircea_popescu: wasn't it tashkent or something ? bishkek ?

asciilifeform: d00d ain't doing it to make the rent, either.
asciilifeform: can't get broker than broke, neh
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: you realize I don't like... pay bills, rent, whatever, right?
trinque: look man you don't go around hitting people with the dick you imagine you'll have someday
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: actually, someone who works next to thiel day in day out got demo'd masamune. didn't get it.
gabriel_laddel_p: I'm german and don't stop for anyone.
asciilifeform: i thought there wasn't a torrent...?
asciilifeform: she ain't a shitreich subject
kanzure: well if it's true that i was the origin of her doxx (which is totally possible, i fucked up), that might color her deicsion, although her continuing to talk with me anyway doesn't add hope to that being right

mod6: ah, werd. but you didn't need to "urban kayak" your way out the door or down the street?
mod6: went back to that .ua place kramarczuk's for lunch. had another ruban, got more sausages from the deli. couldn't resist.
danielpbarron: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-09#1695538 "the pogoplug experiment had nothing to do with scaling" << also it worked fine on my pogo. the only issue was i was doing it on some systemd monstrocity of a linux. There's no reason it wouldn't also work on a cuntoo-pogo as well ☝︎
mircea_popescu: cuz that way he wouldn't have a boatload of deeply baked in shit to reconsider.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706838 << intellectual laziness. it'd be easier if the item that organised his mental life as a youth didn't go to hell in a handbasket during his life. ☝︎

phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706662 << btw doesn't even resolve from ru, archive.is likewise is just blackholed (as opposed to periodic "blocked by ru authorities" page) ☝︎

mircea_popescu: btw, did anyone actually buy gigaom after he quit or what happened ? i didn;'t follow the lulz.
mircea_popescu: "oh i didn't know better". maybe, but you SHOULD have known better.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706474 << same value as every other borderline finds in her "relationships". feels the void inside of you, where you know that you should've really gotten a lot further with what you had and why didn't you. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706459 << you don't understand, they "undid" the etherape. so it never happened. and besides there's no proof there even was a rapist. and so... ☝︎

mircea_popescu: this doesn't go into how unqualified "you" are to implement such a thing. and by you i mean collectively, every monolinguistic english speaker, pantsuit, jew, etcetera.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706438 << the problem isn't "the model". the problem is you. it's not that "the model" is "not mature", it's that you aren't qualified to be thinking about such things. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: nasa isn't even there. so no, nobody gives a shit what "nasa readiness" bla bla says anymore than what tardpedia wrote on any topic.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-30 18:43 kanzure: also: around these parts, is it sacrilege to speak about technologies that aren't at the far end of nasa's readiness scale? that might explain a lot.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706431 << around these parts it is sacrilege to talk about shit you don't understand as if you did. ☝︎
BingoBoingo shocked fake news hadn't been bragging about this one
mircea_popescu can't imagine why they didn't take the right tack and "just say no to icann". shoulda used naked ip, teach their userbase to. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: the red thread being, that they JUST ARE. didn't jhave to do anything for it.
asciilifeform: 'Kafka then finally suggested Samsa look up DARPA deep brain stimulation, Neuralink, and AlphaGo, and suggested to Samsa that shit got real when Google started offering "predictions". And Google doesn't matter to Kafka or Samsa, but one day, something descended from Google and DARPA's current state will. Because Kafka and Samsa's heads are fucking supercomputers.' << winner!1!
mircea_popescu: the MOST you might be trusted with would perhaps be something like a de-pdf-ing bot, which you don't want to do because you (wrongly) imagine it's beyond your level.
mircea_popescu: so no, you won't be given any tasks of responsibility. certainly no "spending of billions" and other nonsense ion terms of "% of world gdp"
mircea_popescu: the fact that you don't know how to sort the list of problems DISQUALIFIES you from discussing the matter. and matters in general. children are to be seen not heard, is the idea, and yes you lot are mentally about 9yo.
kanzure: i don't think lungs are currently compatible with that idea. is it beyond understanding that such a scheme would require different components?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't live with the situation because im lazy.
asciilifeform: ain't it the rain capital of the planet there ?
mircea_popescu: for one thing, the pumps aren't going out, they'll be here no matter what. water dun climb 1k feet out of fellowship.
mircea_popescu: so, i don't have a reservoir here. i could build one, but i don't want to, because it'd be too small (there's a minimum size of reservoir, because the algae ie "taste" is a function of surface approx, whereas volume obv matter of volume ; if your tank is not big enough it'll be flavoured.)
mircea_popescu: shocking how simple measures never occur, "coincidentally". really, it .. wouldn't be practical to mandate anyone on the public budget stop using fossils ? awww.
asciilifeform: don't forget tulpas.
BingoBoingo: <kanzure> no that doesn't work so well; private space ventures would then also be world government instruments. << If private space company aggresses my tomatoes with sunshade, that is a tort and an aggression. Traditionally remedy for unwanted shading is chainsaw
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> hubris of ameliorating "global warming" is pretty cute, right up there with terraforming mars. << Eh, the right weeds would prolly do most of the terraforming themselves. Probably won't make much more habitable, but still more earthlike
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> totally. what the fuck is kik anyway, the irrelevant nonservice that facebook didn't buy for a trillion ? << Porno messenger promoted through craigslist spam
asciilifeform: well kanzure's answer to 'no, i don't want a usa-controlled planeteering death star to exist' was not 'oh hey this 1 d00d doesn't like it, guess i won't advocate to build it'
asciilifeform: trinque's point re narcissism was spot on. these people see non-californirasts, who don't subscribe to the collective 'we musts', as NPCs.
asciilifeform: people who lean to megalomania that they haven't the resources to make flesh -- i find merely boring
