phf: parents obviously remember "friend of steppe's kalmyk" soviet agenda, and
the affirmative action
that came with it
mircea_popescu: to
trotsky's hillaric linton let's say. for
the sake of forcing history into
the exceedingly narrow figures available
to
the ustard.
mircea_popescu: amusingly
there was some unspoken subtext of "diversity" back in
the days right around lenin's final sickness.
phf went
through
that exercise recently. one of
the guys went checking wikipedia (of course) etc.
phf: re stalin, explaining
to american progressives
that stalin was georgian, "ethnically diverse", spoke with heavy georgian accent, etc. creates a lot of confusion
mircea_popescu: just send
the judge a letter explaining
that he's not qualified
to answer any question, including what he wants for breakfast and invite him
to stfu or else.
BingoBoingo: Anyways,
the alf dream hits an important point. Lords of
TMSR are not mere
terrorists, but supervillains complete with arcane artifacts (80's computers, etc) and powers (math, etc).
a111: Logged on 2017-02-02 05:54 phf: simple, cat /dev/mem > /dev/printer, and
then make slave girls go over
the result with pen until "get me all peers"
ben_vulpes: in point of fact
there is! just not for people engaging in fiatola show
trials
ben_vulpes: "there should be a danger
to your reputation if you are imprudent" << obvious republican rejoinder is obvious
jhvh1: shinohai:
The operation succeeded.
shinohai: twas me
testing something ben_vulpes
ben_vulpes: phf: appcode is a mega improvement over xcode in many ways except for how i
think i'm going
to have
to restart my ios dev box
to get ac
to recognize
the device

though i'm still curious how mp obtained
the same info using a pre-0.7 version of bitcoind
a111: Logged on 2017-01-30 19:05 asciilifeform bought a set, will
test and post result.
BingoBoingo: In other fads, Influenza B is
the big
thing locally
this year.
BingoBoingo: It seemed
to stop working usefully a few years ago
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, google quietly dropped
the linkto: operator at some point. slowly and hiddenly.
mircea_popescu: oh and for
the aspiring statisticians, here's a question : given
that
there's 40 different
trilema headers, and one's picked each day randomly, how many days needs one visit
trilema in order
to have better
than 50% chances of having seen all of
them ?
☟︎ thestringpuller: Watching Good Morning America
today. See girl get maced with a red hat on. Hat says, "Make Bitcoin Great Again".
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> was five days ago. << Why would English language anouncement of Make World Great Again be announced anytime other
than
the Superbowl?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what ever happened
to medveev btw ? funny how nobody in
the fake news circles seems even dimly aware
the dude was ru president and is now pm
mircea_popescu: everyone wants
to replace
the
two page actual item with
their five page droning on commentary, "I was
talking with Razvan somewhat ago on messenger and I was saying
that I want first of all for my readers
to know my opinion about something, and not
that I should always come up with something new."
BingoBoingo: likely waiting for
the big
television event?
mircea_popescu: i guess so. meanwhile where
the fuck is
their
transcript
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> basically
the whitehouse is a seo spam siter << Some parts of Hussein Bahamas legacy
take longer
to cast away
than others
mircea_popescu: in other news,
the whitehouse.gov is in google for a "readout of call with putin", which
then links
to /transitionsplash/ which
then links
to root.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Milo sold a derpy media startup
to another media startup
to make some money and now blawgs for Breitbart
trinque: aha, going around playing victim on
the usg.repub side every
time people show up with signs at his events, which alternate between calling
trump daddy and "ohmygod I'm so gay look look"
mircea_popescu: trinque is
this
the "i am
twitter famous" "meaning ?" "not famous" dude ?
mircea_popescu: kinda conflix with
the whoe "i am
the alpha and
the omega and
there is no life outside of me" usg preferred slant
mircea_popescu: the narrative whereby pleabargain = you're fucked really doesn't get much airplay in
the english pravda.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform of course it's not reported in
the anglomedioa
BingoBoingo: In other news
the Brussel Sprouts are starting
to look vaguely like plants 5 days after seeding
BingoBoingo: Named for
the "Log Cabin" or square circle jerk
BingoBoingo: <trinque> milo yiannopoulos isn't even far right. he's just a republican in
the USG sense, and also flamingly gay. << "Log Cabin Republican"
trinque: "surely you understand I can't show you
that"
trinque: I had a dream last night where I was in russia at some diplomatic event, and I was drinking with Putin and asked him about
the Elbrus
trinque: this apparently eggogs
the poor lives matter people
trinque: milo yiannopoulos isn't even far right. he's just a republican in
the USG sense, and also flamingly gay.
mircea_popescu: apparently everyone but
the usians is a peace loving, respectable sort of fellow.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-19 18:48 mircea_popescu: anyway,
to be fair here :
the russians have no interest in waiting ; putin might be uncharacteristically meek, but in general a half dozen us ambassadors starting with
the resident in manilla within
the next week-10days is perfectly possible. at which point obama actually having
the gall
to call natl emergency and set aside
the
transfer of power is not entirely inconceivable. after which
the russians WILL sink all
the us carr
shinohai imagines mircea_popescu eating poached quail eggs and
toast for some reason ...
mircea_popescu: speaking of such wonders, let's play
the game whereby i go eat breakfast and whosoever feels oracle-y attempts
to guess what i'm having.
then when i'm back in 15 minutes we'll see who won.
mircea_popescu: oh i
thought it just arbitrarily applies prevailing force vector
to objects. you know, like in a level designer
toolbox.
mircea_popescu: and did
this dream mp call it
the "fuck you rekt an' proper at a distance" glove ?
ben_vulpes: trinque: not according
to latest report from $not-inlaws-yet
trinque: ben_vulpes: wait, pdx elementary schools don't
teach science?
ben_vulpes: are aws hostname-embedded ip addresses even a
thing?
phf: since everyone's sleeping, i'm going
to bring wintermute down (in
the flurry of pre-travel arrangements i managed
to nuke my ssh key)
BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski>
though i'm still curious how mp obtained
the same info using a pre-0.7 version of bitcoind << Likely with a pre-0.7 incarnation of
the display peer info idea
phf: simple, cat /dev/mem > /dev/printer, and
then make slave girls go over
the result with pen until "get me all peers"
☟︎ pete_dushenski: though i'm still curious how mp obtained

☟︎ phf: i don't
think better log messages are quite right anyway, but it doesn't look like getpeer depends on it, substance-wise
phf: and i don't
think anyone cared enough
to regrind polarbeard's patches (actually come
to
think of it, he had
to do it himself
two or
three
times, at which point he gave up)
phf: according
to btcbase it depends on polarbeard_better_log_messages, which doesn't press cleanly (that was around
the
time when a bunch of
things got reground, pbd meanwhile dropped out)
