mircea_popescu: the
truth is after eight years of monkey in chief
they're scarcely capable of anything but monkeying about.
the dem party
that lost
to bush is such a sad memory for
the democrat party of
today. like 50yo sinatra
to 90 yo sinatra.
mircea_popescu: or eight years of hussein bahamas
the democrat party ?
ben_vulpes: quite impossible
to play out literally, lol
ben_vulpes: i am spectacularly unqualified
to opine as
to how it might happen
this
time, so i wonder.
ben_vulpes: i wonder what
the 'tacoma narrows' moment looks like for intel and friends.
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: b-but free energy from
the soil
timecube
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Anyways if you want
to promote "the right" bacteria in your dirt just grow legumes and do
the whole crop rotation bsns
mircea_popescu: i dunno, about half
their games are actually from
the matrox period.
mircea_popescu: i don't care "whjat
this says", it's not fucking fashion.
mircea_popescu: this isn't a
theoretical discussion. i'm not about
to upgrade libc.
mircea_popescu: basicallyt
the great success of
the FOSS was
that corporations used
them
to spearhead cost reductions. no longer is
there any need
to, for instance, offer any support.
they're open source! except not.
mircea_popescu: ie, it's not ACTUALLY WORTH IT for valve ; because
they're
trying
to cater
to
the imbeciles whoi "but mp, what do you mean mpex seats cost!" and
those... have no money.
a111: Logged on 2017-02-10 05:43 mircea_popescu: "Parse did a lot of
things right."
mircea_popescu: the perverse reason is quite evident :
they don't want
to pay akamai for downloads.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's only silent in
their idiotic gui perspective ; otherwise if you run it like sane people in cli it barfs as quoted.
mircea_popescu: apparently
they contain dependencies
they aren't aware of. how does
this happen, clumsy drepper hand edited
them post facto ?
mircea_popescu: whereas prior versions claim all dependencies are satisfied, and
then SILENTLY DIE
mircea_popescu promptly discovers
that all versions past 1.0.0.24 refuse
to install without libc6 > 2.15
mircea_popescu attempts
to install steam,
teh saga. 1. website only offers "most recent", no link
to history, nothing. most recent of course wants libc6 > 2.15 because fu user.
ben_vulpes: (also baby steps
towards federal gendarmerie in form of "better coordination of law enforcement")
ben_vulpes: "illegal smuggling and
trafficking of humans" is all over
that
thing. would otherwise be a huge victory for
the nonprofits pushing
that line, except for how it's donny
t doing it
mircea_popescu: shinohai
the chick in
the strip robbery looks reasonably hot.
jhvh1: shinohai:
The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: we'll have
to have a gossipd sooner rather
than later.
mircea_popescu: more seriously : it does seem freenode's screeching ever closer
to its use-by date.

the way
to doing
transparent roaming, so benefits are only seen on hardware in question: can still do useful work even over very dodgy connection
mircea_popescu: an' veracruz is like, right next
to oaxaca, on
the atlantic rather
than
the pacific side.
mircea_popescu: phf palenque is in
the southernmost state of mexico (chiapas). what, like 100 miles from your spot.
thestringpuller: "After further investigation, it
turned out
that
the
two AIs were communicating using a novel symmetric key cipher, and
the key
that ended up being uncrackable by
the
third AI was simply '12345',
the kind of password an idiot would have on his luggage."
a111: Logged on 2017-02-10 16:28 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform btw, in a very much unrteported move, frankfurt got 300
tons of gold from new york.
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-10#1613027 << i was waiting for
that. first article i open mentions
that
the gold is
there
to put it out of moscow's reach, mentions european financial
troubles and
the lack of
trust in
trump in
three paragraphs. almost can admire
the fuckers, sort of like reading particularly gnarly piece of soviet propaganda
☝︎ mircea_popescu: but even
that aside,
the amber civilisation is fascinating on its own.
mircea_popescu: imo chiapas is
the best part of mexico. spent a very agreeable week in palenque drilling
the confused hordes of usian girlies searching for spirituality or w/e
the fuck.
phf: that does look neat, i'd like
to make my way
to south america at some point. most south i've been is costa rica
phf: there aren't often local cable networks. at least judging by number of microwave relay
towers where i am now, and
their frequency,
that's all you get.
mircea_popescu: personally i'd rather directly hack into
the local cable networks
than resort
to wifi over cell
tower bs.
phf: so hardware was literally
that
phf: in fact i
tested it from nearby Huatulco, mexico, and it was sort of like batched processing.
type a bunch of
things, wait some
time and eventually get feedback, but i had very poor luck with ssh
a111: Logged on 2017-02-10 14:01 mircea_popescu: phf what's
the relevancy of
the hardware details in
the example given ?
phf:

☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: even without obamacare
that's a 10ish bn extra expenditure on
the welfare state.
mircea_popescu: hence seattle. put it up on a hill, fire at
the city. should get
the 4km out of it.
mircea_popescu: they're probably still stored somewhere due
to
the fact
they're hard
to defuse by design.
mircea_popescu: 1960s weapons, rugged and none of
that pussyfooting. if it's fired, it explodes.
mircea_popescu: (for
the new people :
the historical reason for which german gold was stored on another continent has everything
to do with
the fulda gap, and
the sad experience of about 100-150
tons of romanian gold + an order of magnitude more in paper
that was magically lost in russia)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform btw, in a very much unrteported move, frankfurt got 300
