ben_vulpes: ^^ this is a thing?!?
decimation: "Last week, a dog belonging to an Ebola-infected nurse was euthanized in Spain, causing a national outcry. " << wtf
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> the more developed a welfare state, the juicier a target it will appear to these travellers. << now this is an interesting point.
asciilifeform: thickasthieves: that experiment, described in 'flying circus of physics' among other places, was traditionally done with a violin bow.
nubbins`: <joecool> kyrio: hm, i had it in wikipedia for awhile that Seal's face was mauled by dogs as a child, stayed up for a year or so
asciilifeform: the more developed a welfare state, the juicier a target it will appear to these travellers.
mircea_popescu: what';s better than a large pile of symbolically meaningful items.
nubbins`: after all, what is a coffin but an oblong Rubbermaid storage bin?
xanthyos: maybe there's a lobbyist in washington who works for big coffin
xanthyos: it's more believable as a conspiracy theory if they don't go to the extent of telling the people there will be mass graves
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform> no historical example of this, afaik, but the totalitarian state is a rather young thing << Not so young, socrates tried to implement it
asciilifeform: no historical example of this, afaik, but the totalitarian state is a rather young thing
mircea_popescu: did she bareback a bunch of dudes at least ?
Apocalyptic: <asciilifeform> what is even the deal with xchat. / ignore user ALL doesn't seem to work. // you have to provide a hostmask for <user>
mircea_popescu: so, how to break up with a girl subtler than sublte ?
asciilifeform: <ninjashogun> You also repeatedly mention me in a negative light, despite my not saying anything to you. Just stop.
asciilifeform: if you don't have a greybeard to apprentice with.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: in fact, when, as a boy, i first read of lisp machines, i somehow thought this is how they worked.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: elisp is a terrifyingly pre-1970s-style crock of shit. e.g., brings back the infamous 'funarg problem'
mircea_popescu: "bingbot 0.0.0 Ben AsselstineBingbot turns you into an IRC cyborg. When someone says "uptime" to you, it answers them back with your uptime. When someone says "vi?" to you, it answers them back with the last file you opened in vim. When someone says "search: foo" to you, it gets a random link to a gif on imgur.com/r/gifs/new and shows them that. written in c++, requires glibmm, curlpp and sigc++."
asciilifeform: would be interesting to have #b-a-voiced-only pm whitelist plugin.
mircea_popescu: i'd rather give some young uns a boost.
mircea_popescu: srsly we need a good cartoon maker in here.
mircea_popescu: his hat could be a silver cup.
mircea_popescu: someone should make a bitcoin scammer cartman. sort of a karpeles - tom van dyke - rpietilla mix.,
nubbins`: wait, ninjashogun is a plant?!
BingoBoingo: The impression of incompetence offers tha failed agent quite a bit of plausible deniability
asciilifeform: e.g., a priest.
BingoBoingo: Asks a lot of unanswerable questions about net worth. Derpy scammer is an angle usg has prolly tried before in tax cases.
asciilifeform: my favourite hypothesis re mr. spam is that he is a scammer masquerading as an incompetent usg case officer.
BingoBoingo: It is a disease of a lot of the swiftly discountable crackpots
mircea_popescu: as in, does this guy show understanding comensurate with a semester's reading
assbot: Qntra Reaffirms That The WoT And IRC Yeshiva Are In No Way Optional - Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski
mircea_popescu: http://www.contravex.com/2014/10/13/qntra-reaffirms-wot-irc-yeshiva-in-no-way-optional/ << wow lok at that, s.qntr got a fan
mircea_popescu: i suppose the best way is to plug a router into itself and then the ups into itself making the coils go through each other
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this works especially well on a cheap 'ups'.
kakobrekla: well it does resemble a coil
mircea_popescu: mike_c: when is b-a going to list itself on mpex and pay shares based on line count? << http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/infinate-corectpowar.jpg
mircea_popescu: assbot: NSA Mind-Bender: We Won't Tell You What Info We Already Leaked to the Media | WIRED <<< i was having a lulz earlier at that
mircea_popescu: pretty much like a kitchen appliance
BingoBoingo: It's a language you don't need to know to fix... so far...
mircea_popescu: and you'll end up with 50 kids each contributing a nickle towards it
mircea_popescu: yeah, and then he'll ipo b-a voice on cryptsy
asciilifeform: it really is time to start charging him for the privilege of using #b-a as a public urinal
mircea_popescu: so in bitbet board kako proposed a motion to give punkman 10k shares too, which passed. you got a mpex acct ? or coinbr ?
asciilifeform: can't even imagine a respectable porn aficionado enjoying these
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in a sense, the fact that everyone today uses computers with porn screens, rather than coding screens
mircea_popescu: ninjashogun: For exmaple, i would rate you a 1 (easily) based on our previous conversation, but it wouldn't accept it. << such pandering.
asciilifeform used that thing again for half hour, to test, and now has a truly astonishingly-powerful headache
mike_c: dunno. am researching now, usually a good idea before opening one's mouth.
asciilifeform: mike_c: ips in a laptop?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: this story is actually about a machine involved in my day job
asciilifeform: not every day one discovers a totally new scamatron, on own skin.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i discovered that the machine with the dithering lcd wasn't just dithering. it has a 'pentile' screen (hard-wired white pixel in the middle of each rgb element! for fraudulently increased apparent brightness.) had no idea this even existed.
asciilifeform: for one thing, the clock doesn't tick unless someone actually gives a damn.
asciilifeform: but it is in no sense a 'time lock.'
asciilifeform: there is no concept. the idea of releasing a crypted turd sans key is ancient.
RagnarDanneskjol: yes, ultimately limited to a single dedicated timekeeping box. still, he managed to flesh out the concept well
asciilifeform: RagnarDanneskjol: you can easily come up with a non-parallelizable problem, but asking that 'no one have unfair advantage' is absurd.
mike_c: when is b-a going to list itself on mpex and pay shares based on line count?
mike_c: [19:33] <ninjashogun> have you had a look at the logs? Usually it's barely legal porn and random derping.
xanthyos: the ancients didn't see the sun as a star
kakobrekla: cause star is not a sun
ben_vulpes: it's even a good idea (tm)!
ben_vulpes: ninjashogun, PeterL: I know! let's build a rocket with RFNO!
PeterL: some of the work I do is "let's synthesize X because it will work like Y (maybe?), which Other Company has a patent on"
ninjashogun: PeterL - It actually matches something really intreresting from patent law. Chemistry is actually one of the sciences where you need to fully e.g. synthesize the thing, actually make it, since it's considered an "unpredictable" art. In other areas it's just enough for it to be obvoius that the design works a certain way.
kakobrekla: BingoBoingo i dont use twitter but i fink it would be appropriate for qntra to get a feed. just a suggestion.
PeterL: I'm a chemist, I try to work with things that are possible
ninjashogun: PeterL, well, sure, but if you call me an idiot and make an impossibility argument, then a counterexample weakens your case. It also makes it hard to collaborate. It's why I wondered if you ever got any projects to fruition, i.e. actually made anything. There is a continuum from idea through execution and name-caling isn't usually on there.
bounce: fuel? that would be a little inefficient.
PeterL: ninjashogun: NASA also put a guy on the moon, but there are no companies doing that (yet)
ninjashogun: PeterL - Your point is okay but of course this is a counterexample http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_Helios in the sense that this has a payload, and flies indefinitely. So the question is more one of degree than absolute feasability.
ninjashogun: PeterL - yes, we discussed this previously, it was a condition of speaking with you about it.
ninjashogun: bounce - it's not only full of trolls. Even though PeterL has just resorted to calling me an idiot (in keeping with this channel) he makes a good point about volume and weight. (Poorly expressed.)
PeterL: ninjashogun: I didn't realize about the public disclosure thing, but it makes sense in the sense that patents last a certain number of years from when the thing is invented, and this keeps people from only filing the patent years later when they realize it is worth money
ben_vulpes: ninjashogun: a solar plane?!
ninjashogun: BingoBoingo, reading my message to you on CNN is more secure than a wired link, if the former uses PKI and the latter doesn't. I'm sorry you don't know this distinction.
ninjashogun: BingoBoingo, what, that it's better to troll than to have a normal conversation and discuss something? No, he doesn't seem to have caught on. He also isn't very active in these channels though.
ninjashogun: kakobrekla, he's just a normal guy. we just talked online. (no transactions or anything.)
kakobrekla: ninjashogun i wonder how come you scalped Adlai for a rating, was it because he is fresh and got a rating from mp
ninjashogun: (for anyone following along, this is quite different than being private for hte sake of not fucking a product launch up.)
ninjashogun: PeterL as I mentioned before I prefer to discuss this privately. This is a logged channel.
ninjashogun: PeterL even though as you can see I am immediately being trolled :) It's okay though, I guess this is part of the process. I saw totally normal people being driven out of here by the trolling. It's like a rite of passage though, I don't mind.
ninjashogun: Someone said I should 'start over' and just make a new account, but I only have 1 entry in WoT (this one, where I'm authenticated) and I prefer to remain sane and normal until troll ratings come around.
