decimation: asciilifeform: thanks for that gentoo -systemd tip. it would be handy to make
a systemd-free linux box
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: i will take it very personally if the actual financial collapse of the us is brought about by
a manic attempt to chase losses in their failed attempts to maninpulate the btc price. << lol! those causes.
mircea_popescu: bitches better be resourceful, what is this $1200
a month retainer talk ?
mircea_popescu: i'd be very curious to see first hand if the us based, usg fed "feminists" in the us would actually pick
a rifle and
a picket, when it comes to it.
TheNewDeal: might find
a couple street bums trapped in there too
mircea_popescu: i imagine if that thing's in use for
a few centuries the bugs living in the pipe will be pretty wow.
TheNewDeal: so does
a new beer just flush out the old?
decimation: re: pipes
http://rt.com/news/191132-belgium-build-beer-pipe/ "An underground pipeline carrying 5,700 liters of beer an hour will be built in Belgium’s historic city of Bruges.
A family-owned brewery will pump beer direct to
a bottling plant in the suburbs to cut the number of trucks on ancient cobbled streets."
mircea_popescu: which happens to be correct, and peripherally
a point i've oft made, say how "bitcoin is not the derps"
assbot: Logged on 05-10-2014 18:47:24; mircea_popescu: i doubt hte usg gets anything at this point. just
a lengthy succession of narrow "experts" who keep passing data cross
a "telephone wire", while the meanings of the terms used change on every pass.
bounce: lay down the pipe and open
a window. slowly!
mircea_popescu: that thing's
a lot more fundamental than usually given credit for
mircea_popescu: in
a sense, thinking about it... the usg problems come down to
a poor implementation of the pipe.

a "telephone wire", while the meanings of the terms used change on every pass.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: it's actually
a better deal in dollars than to hold on btc.
decimation: re: ham bands << the point is that the 'law' already gave those frequencies to the hams, except when it would inconvenience
a company to redesign the product
mircea_popescu: yes, but the plundering has
a larger cost to them than to us.
mircea_popescu: ideally it'd work on the powers of two. first time
a week, 1 bitcent, then 2 4 8 etc
mircea_popescu: i dunno how one is supposed to have an os without
a pipe. ipads, winboxes, the whole shebang. how ?
mircea_popescu: guy works as
a stupid sifter that's not really dragging up that much stupid.
TheNewDeal: I have
a feeling that sub 300 is going to feel like
a dream in about 1 week
danielpbarron: heard about them on freetalklive,
a radio show I am beginning to suspect is run by government plants
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic it's
a reference to this idiotic comment by some us derp or other
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what i mean is : if you had
a stash of 1mn units using x hardcoded band,
kakobrekla: its prolly not
a good idea that all the filtering is left up to me
TheNewDeal: i've heard he's got
a new entrepreneurship
PeterL: should be
a report out soon?
mircea_popescu: not so in bitcoin. getting rid of the tardstalk/reddit/etc "community" and burning
a bunch of "experts" is
a fucking godsend, if they'll just stfu about it and move on to their next cool thing that'd be great.

a later tell.
mircea_popescu: decimation: Later they opted to operate more bots in the ham band <<< seems
a reasonable solution, really. emergency ham band requisition. what'd you have them do ?
mircea_popescu: they still gotta get
a cert to be allowed to import it.
The20YearIRCloud: the router i believe switches channels automatically when there's
a signal blocking it, i think the helicopter thing is just so leaky that it prevents the wifi sinal
The20YearIRCloud: Well this is nice, i didn't realize the controller for my kids quadcopter was
a 2.4ghz device. It jams our home's wifi signal

mircea_popescu: ohohohoho notrly. while the abject selfdebasing of the highschool priss is exactly of zero practical weight, as there are more pleasant girls and better trained, so one'd never seriously use her for
a direct purpose,
mircea_popescu: i'll prolly have
a special lotion designed for the experience.
kakobrekla: <mircea_popescu> the risk when one tries to artificially depress
a security is that he'll end up selling most of his load at the lowest price and then have to repay the borrow at the high price. < way easier to default
thickasthieves: jdany_ leaving AM (and all bitcoin securities dealings) was something that took
a few mos to prep and execute
The20YearIRCloud: It showed technology in
a positive light, humans were finally unable to destroy gaia
dub: tbh 'they' have continue to display
a good level of brain damage
mircea_popescu: "Name
a science fiction movie in the last 25 years that shows technology in
a positive light,” says Peter Thiel << anything made in asia ?
thickasthieves: mp yeha it got to
a point where there were too many unique open cases and balancing the transfer books was impossible
thickasthieves: although he did just lose
a bunch of fiat for his fiat business
mircea_popescu: i will take it very personally if the actual financial collapse of the us is brought about by
a manic attempt to chase losses in their failed attempts to maninpulate the btc price.

jurov: but i want
a bit bigger margin
pankkake: jurov: 0.00020000 * 44`166 for F.MPIF, isn't it
a market maker opportunity?
thickasthieves: itd also be nice if the pricing werent abstracted in some fukt way that i need
a spreadsheet just to know values
dub: or encase them in
a protective foam/substance
decimation: if one would go to the trouble of engineering an ejection system, why not add
a parachute for each seat?
dub: was pondering
a personal defense bot
a few years ago, like
a smart shuriken you can deploy
a bunch of when under attack form ninjas and zombies
decimation: asciilifeform: there is an amusing side story to that little two-wheeled bot - it's called the 'recon scout'. Turns out that it was made for the us military, who don't give
a shit about civilian usg frequency allocation rules. When they wanted to sell it in the us, they had to get
a special note from Stalin because it was actually operating ... in the middle of the ham band:
http://www.arrl.org/news/fcc-allows-robotic-device-in- cazalla: don't go chasing buterin waterfalls.. (this one might be
a tsunami)
ben_vulpes: might actually get somewhere for
a grand in that thing
dub: thats
a lot cheaper than your avg superyacht
decimation: lol looks like
a good way to lose
a finger
decimation: Well, if I were going to bust open
a door, I would want to know what is behind it
decimation: I suspect
a majority of engineers working in the us feed their families on this business model
decimation: that little bot seems more useful than
a 0.50 cal rifle to
a policeman. ideally, one could use it to 'scout' to see if "worst case swat team" is really required, rather than joe the constable
decimation: asciilifeform: that's
a neat little two-wheel bot
decimation: yes, he's no doubt
a supreme 'alpha' type
decimation: there is something poetic about
a prisoner literally impregnating the state's authority personified, and it says something about usg & friends
mircea_popescu: dub flying is
a labour of love. what, you think mthreat hopes to make any sort of profit flying
a jet for no reason ?
dub: sorry.
a lot less, they take
a break from earnign essentially nothing to go an earn an apparently desirable $50k
mircea_popescu: AMONG THE VICTOMS: Eighteen-year-old Christopher Robinson (pictured) was killed in 2008 by thugs in "The Program",
a brutal heiarchy which victomizes youths at Rikers Island including an imnate who was hospitalized for
a broken jaw."
decimation: yeah this is
a good point. I rent now and I'm reluctant to get back into the real estate bezzle world
mircea_popescu: dub the argument is that if you spend ten grand on an omlette when your entire weekly budged is 6k, people coming in to derp about how "so you don't want to eat" get
a pie to the face.
dub: praps tehre should be
a non-resuss clause inherent in being
a libertard
mircea_popescu: "
A posting every day; an interesting idea every three months…" not
a bad byline
decimation: I guess if you have
a few $tn to blow every year you gotta have your manned people-search helicopters
decimation: maryland was/is the only state that had
a fully government owned/operated medivac system
