asciilifeform wonders if this could even be carried out mechanically, with something like a wirbelrohr.
asciilifeform: by no means a 'maxwell daemon', given as there is a power source (officially - photovoltaics; in practice - mini-reactor)
decimation: spending the $billions on a robot-mining-factory would have had much better roi than idiots floating in space
decimation: MIR was up for a long time; also with constant attention
mircea_popescu: that means your 2k km orbit has just been degraded significantly, and you're now dragging 10x or 100x what you were a minute ago.
mircea_popescu: well the iss is not a closed system.
decimation: re: satellite : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Extremely_High_Frequency << according to la wik, it is geosynchronous, not a leo
nubbins`: just printing a proof now on the inkjet, likely start pre-press in the next couple days
mircea_popescu: i just ordered a replica made :D
mircea_popescu: of course. there's a lot of power in disinterest.
asciilifeform: (long gone, incidentally. they got a new pr team.)
asciilifeform: there's a palpable 'if not you then who, if not now then when' flavour to the latter.
asciilifeform: this other picture, is that of a feral dog, who knows that the next stop is the soap boiler and carries on accordingly
mircea_popescu: the only people that start throwing things are the people in a corner through a system they do not wish to continue in any circumstances.
mircea_popescu: people in a corner by ill fortune get depressed. people in a corner by misdeeds reprogram. people in a corner by having pissed off wrong people turn sluts.
asciilifeform: similar in that both attested to being 'in a corner' - whether by ill fortune, having pissed off wrong people, or some genuine misdeeds of whatever kind
mircea_popescu: i guess the j stack replica in my head flew a plane into part of my memory
asciilifeform: at any rate, they have the flavour of the work of a man who doesn't intend to live particularly long.
asciilifeform: but - how do we know that herr church is a coward?
asciilifeform: 'not a bike, but a wheelbarrow, and not given, but deprived of'
mircea_popescu: re : yes, it is true, except it wasn't ivan ivanovich but vladimir vladimirovich, it wasn't a bike but a car and it wasn't given but taken away
mircea_popescu: radio erevan answers! user : is it true that ivan ivanovich was given a bike ?
The20YearIRCloud: Wasn't it a single engine, real life sized airplane?
mircea_popescu: im in the process of forcing a point.
mircea_popescu: mthreat some guy got pissed off at irs, flew his radio airplane into a pole across the street.
asciilifeform: probably a good candidate for a future 'joseph stack' incident.
mircea_popescu: guy;d have benefited immensely from a non absent father.
asciilifeform: now he's a living 'tilt mode' and campaigns for... unionizing programmers ?
ben_vulpes: it's a little wonky right now as i've yet to collect seven days of statistics
mthreat: http://i.imgur.com/rg9Wt.jpg <-- pregnant woman complaining about jackhammers, while smoking a cigarette
thestringpuller: like a one liner
chetty: a contestant in the oppression olympics.//+++++
pankkake: As for her friends, they were almost exclusively other oppressed SJWs. Although friend is a strong term. She had many fights with them that basically boiled down to "stop complaining about your oppression, mine is more important." She was, essentially, a contestant in the oppression olympics.
b00lcrap: a
lobbes: I would also qualify as one of these peasants; hell, I'm essentially a SQL monkey
thestringpuller: kakobrekla: is a bum
kakobrekla: theres quite a few more than that.
thestringpuller: pfft I'm at a day job now
thestringpuller: Do you have a sister who would break your inventions?
thestringpuller: Did you have a lab as a kid?
asciilifeform: jurov: b00lcrap and i work a day job together. quite unrelated to s.nsa.
b00lcrap: yeah i never got a ticket on this ship
b00lcrap: asciilifeform invited me here, we work together at a crap farm
mthreat: I asked him for a source about the "new face" business, no response to my question
mthreat: comment from michael church claiming that people go to silicon valley and get a new life and a new face from plastic surgeons: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8179731
dignork: this is actually an example of why address reuse might be a problem
nubbins`: more like button on a fur coat amirite
ben_vulpes: "i am a happy whore-ti-cunturalist indeed"
assbot: VCs provide access to small growth businesses and will never have a lack of pass... | Hacker News
pankkake: and the idea of a bitcoin backbone has been discussed here a while ago, btw
assbot: A Bitcoin Backbone | The Bitcoin Foundation
pankkake: https://bitcoinfoundation.org/2014/08/a-bitcoin-backbone/ <= I like the "But… but… Centralization!". the thing is great, but he knows already it will be misunderstood

mod6: thestringpuller: fuck the club dawg, i'd rather count a million bucks
pankkake: yes, happened a few days ago
Duffer1: danng what a prick lol
pankkake: from the man himself "Shot by a keyboard warrior? Don't think I am too scared to be honest."
mircea_popescu: reddit caught a fart. does that count ? it tasted kinda ok.
Duffer1: i've been out of the loop a while
jurov: lol that's still a thing?
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic well at least he's still tweeting. the neobee thing he tweeted a lot about also turned to be a wallet stealing piece of crap
fluffypony: it's a joke:)
penguirker: New blog post: http://trilema.com/2014/how-the-other-half-lives-or-michael-o-church-is-a-scummy-fuckwit/

Vexual: hey id be doing the dunt a favour for 2 bits on the coin
Vexual: advertising sales is a two way business
Vexual: give me an email and a rate ben10
mircea_popescu: except... it is obnoxious as fuck for clerks to decide the management is "a supersitious buyer".
mircea_popescu: " It’s like formally changing a house’s address from 13 to 11 before selling it to a superstitious buyer: the fact being erased is that it was once called “13”, one that will never matter for any purpose or cause material harm to anyone."
mircea_popescu: how the other half works : they select a subset of reality that it's not okay to lie about, then lie about all the rest, which is fine because hey, it wasn't in the holy set!
mircea_popescu: we're talking education as in, i've been a sex toy to the master of field x for two decades.
xmj: education is nothing but a cheap signal
mircea_popescu: intelligence as an innate ability is merely a qualifier. you don't got it, you can't play. otherwise, education is 99.x% of all intellectual performance, and that x is 10.
BigBitz: That being said, even if there was, I'd take it with a pinch of salt also.
RagnarDanneskjol: pretty close to this: 'The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.' A.E.
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=stike | stike-{stahyk} verb.(originates from the word strike)to ignore or cut off communication to a person or group.
Vexual: whats say i teach you some stikes suited to your body type, and if you fail to deliver, ill teach you a better one
mircea_popescu: "ebola-liberia-clashes-violence" certainly has a ring to it.
Vexual: the tentacle pron thing is a euphemism for adding obrusicating bullshit
Vexual: well the way i read it, if you have a wire protruding from your anus to an attacker, they can read your thoughts

Vexual: thats a lot of silicone
Vexual: i should like a pet chinchilla
mircea_popescu: except this one... was a chinchilla
mircea_popescu: like a rat would.
mircea_popescu: in other news : saw a chinchilla run from a sewer tonight.
ben_vulpes: i'm leaning towards moving the venues list to the front page, and making a faq page
ben_vulpes: when a request comes in to van-ads.com/venues/drinkingrecord/* i log the time to the db
mircea_popescu: but anyway, for closure : the resistance to anything unlawful is not a right, it's a freedom. no court has or could have any authority to create a right out of it, or in any way to curtail it.
ben_vulpes: the notion that cops would know one boggles me wee brain a bit
mircea_popescu: so many years ago, i'm coming back to town. im in the back with a girl, driver and shadow in front. there's this roadblock on the local turnpike.
BingoBoingo: It's reasons like this why I have a court date next week when I could have paid a fine to settle last year
mircea_popescu: o look at this "The practical answer is, that if you get a sympathetic jury, and may not get convicted; especially if you catch the cops lying and ditching evidence (standard operating procedure; really.) The cops’ stories in these cases are a work in progress; they change depending on what comes up.
