decimation: yeah I would believe. Also GPS is one of the few that chose
a rational timebase, no leap seconds
BingoBoingo: Well, I dun see how such
a machine would be useful as
a networked device
BingoBoingo: Ah, more productive. I was almost going to have to posit
a "spiritual" sort of use case. Machine that does i++ as fast as possible, not as useful machine but as useful monument.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: actually now my brain is encountering locking errors on finding
a use case for garage sized single core monster machine.
BingoBoingo: Bottleneck sure. Kind of like
a disk drive in comparison. If
a process and its handlers can't fit in 16 MB of on chip cache though this is
a wrong solution for the task.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
A napkin, "Netburst" pentium 4 stats and imagining scaling from there straight up on the clock...
dub: know
a dude that built one out of an old fridge
BingoBoingo is sad more people aren't building chips "Up" and making freon check
a part of computer maintenance in more scenarios. Manhattan, New York instead of Manhattan, Kansas...
dub: dudes at old shop bought
a wizbang 24 core/80?gigglebits machine for the purpose,then watched it humming along on 1 core
BingoBoingo: Multithreading is just
a workaround for the real problem
dub: get back to me when you've stood in
a cold noisy DC on
a con call to mumbai for 15 hours
dub: <mircea_popescu> hey, being
a network engineer is kinda fun.

a rating of 1, and supplied these additional notes: He blogs and stuff..
mircea_popescu: “It appears the FTC has decided to go to war on bitcoin overall and is starting with Butterfly Labs. Butterfly Labs is being portrayed by the FTC as
a bogus and fake company."
mircea_popescu: “Butterfly Labs is disappointed in the heavy-handed actions of the Federal Trade Commission. In
a rush to judgment, the FTC has acted as judge, jury and executioner, contrary to our intended system of governmental checks and balances. "
mircea_popescu: The fact that the information was today released by the French state to Echegaray under the legal umbrella of
a bilateral agreement between both countries’ tax authorities on so-called double taxation put those doubts to rest."
mircea_popescu: "According to Clarín’s supplement iEco, it was Falciani who originally contacted the Argentine authorities to talk about the list, but there was
a legal obstacle to circumvent before the information could be used by AFIP: if the list was given straight to Echegaray outside official state channels, its validity would not have stood in front of
a court of law.
ben_vulpes: and yet being "unbanked" is
a bad thing to the libtard
mircea_popescu: "“We will analyze the information on
a case-by-case basis, and cross-reference this database with the taxpayers that have declared accounts on Switzerland’s HSBC,” Echegaray explained afterwards when meeting the press at the Argentine Embassy in France." << how about "we can't use stolen data".
mircea_popescu: when mingled with the nonsensical misrepresentation of democracy as
a representative process, the resulting hypergolic explosion scatters headless chickens over
a large surface, which headless chickens then proceed to "do something" because they "have to do something"
mircea_popescu: all this mess stemming from the intellectually bankrupt ideology that there is such
a thing as "progress" which somehow is made out of "change".
mircea_popescu: "At the Munich Satellite Navigation Summit on 10 March 2010,
a Chinese government official asked the European Commission why it no longer wanted to work with China, and when China's cash investment in Galileo would be returned."
bounce: pink on the inside, yellow on the outside, and
a blackened soul?
mats_cd03: i am yellow, so i guess i'm like
a meat pie
thestringpuller: well i am
a black man. i was just surrounded by white people all my life.
mats_cd03: are you like me, and your inner monologue is performed by
a black man?
chetty thinks most women only have
a vague idea of where gut is
mircea_popescu: the likeliness of someone having actually witnessed
a savaging is pretty much inversely proprotional to the count of "gutwrenching" they used over their lifetime.
mircea_popescu: why's this gutwrench[ing] construction become such
a staple of chicklit anyway ?
mircea_popescu: that analogy would hold if
a) no aids could infect trhe brain ever and b) all human parts were detachable, and cost less than
a pill in
a us hospital.
assbot: Logged on 09-07-2014 00:50:59; asciilifeform: '…we need
a word that describes the artifacts generated in response to irrational actors who demand to be fooled. As the old saying goes, “
A fool and his money are soon parted” – at the fool’s own insistence, no less! If the deer comes out of the forest and walks up to the hunter, it is not proper hunting, and this is not proper con artistry or grift or embezzlement or any other term we use to describ
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski: how does that much lulz fit in one little screen cap?<< guy kinda looks like
a walrus
mircea_popescu:
a frightened manager is about as useful as
a punctured set of wellington boots.
mircea_popescu: like
a horrible war zone between ignorant users and frightened managers << the exact fucking problem.
mircea_popescu: i seriously expect the entire world to now bow down to my superiority and explicitly recognise its inferiority, as
a wholy owned, substantive characteristic of their own.
mircea_popescu: i suppose every single entity in online finance, from paypal to icbc will now come and leave
a comment on trilema saying "sorry, we're fucking stupid, you're right"
ben_vulpes: sure, it guarantees cash in pocket instead of worthless paper when the music stops, but all i'm left with when the music stops is
a company that makes software in competition with all the other shartup engineers.
mircea_popescu: the whole charade's
a sort of "fine when we do it, evil/bad/wrong when they do it" thing.
mircea_popescu: <punkman> what is
a rationalization hamster? << supposedly what women do when they've been rejected by
a magical boy of magic, they go in
a corner and worry and obsessively rethink the experience.
ben_vulpes: this consulting short isn't really that great of
a short actually
xmj: the idea of having
a rat tunnel through on the rear end.. sounds BAD.
punkman: what is
a rationalization hamster?
mats_cd03: "hamstering" is not something that has evar been
a thing
xmj: then its gonna be daaaaaaangerous not to be in
a cashflow positive business
mats_cd03: some dummies with the 'oh its been goin on for
a while now, nbd' ...
mats_cd03: 13:01:49 <+myriadgetsmehard> It's not up to them to decide what is
a premium domain or not. I say it's up to the whole free market, which they won't let me be
a part of, it's also not really free
mats_cd03: 13:00:59 <+myriadgetsmehard> i beg to differ. i think all these new TLDs have value. So I am asking for $500k for
http://btc.events and
a few others. BitPremier takes 5% but I'll offer the room 20% to any who can get one sold
mircea_popescu: if you were
a hunter and moved to
a difference cannuckistan, and all the moose you shot was the size of
a chicken
mircea_popescu: tyvm and stfu, you're offering 500k to the guy who does that, plus
a little fee for allowing your pointless existence to be associated with his.
mircea_popescu: <myriadgetsmehard> It's not up to them to decide what is
a premium domain or not. << because why, because it's up to you ?
myriadgetsmehard: maybe i needa setup
a gpg contract to get these sold for
a commission.
myriadgetsmehard: It's not up to them to decide what is

Duffer1: i thought bitpremier was
a website for things that had value
xanthyos: in
a privatized prison system,
a "good prisoner" is one who consumes the least amount of food
mircea_popescu: which sort-of reads like dop in romanian, which is
a funny little word, meaning cork.
mircea_popescu: im famous among
a group of [girl]friends for this one trip I took one of them for at some point, that was never documented or repeated.
Naphex: lol [26/Sep/2014:00:18:37 +0300] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 27100 "() { :; }; uname -

kuzetsa: it actually looks so shitty I think it might even be an automated thing done by
a rather unimaginatve bot
kuzetsa makes
a funny face emoji thiner IRL :/
kuzetsa: I'm glad I didn't have
a system policy which let that suspicious code run
kuzetsa: so it was
a domain squatter using the .com when the actual site is on .org... interesting
kuzetsa: CVE-2014-3631, CVE-2014-6271, and CVE-2014-7169 patched, full system-wide stack smashing protection (via GCC 4.9.1 -- had to recompile every last binary package with the new GCC with the appropriate flags enabled) and
a few other nice things done... yay!
pete_dushenski: you've got derpy media writing
a derpy article about
a derpy politician with the absolute derpiest of ads.
assbot: College Enrollment Declines for Second Year in
a Row
decimation: ah I see. apparently symbolics later marketed
a card to install in apple stuff though
ben_vulpes: <decimation> gov't pays for such 'research', most of which is pointless:
http://www.sbir.gov/ << people say: "do this!" and I say "what innovation? we duct tape thinger
a to tab b and make clients happy." they do not understand, and i cannot enlighten them without calling into question that which they value themselves upon.
mircea_popescu: this is the equivalent of the "if newspiece title ask
a question, the response is no".
