phf: these fucking people. so i've been
traveling
through red states past
two years, and
the sentiment was ~very~ clear. north carolina, south carolina, alaska, ohio, pennsylvania. shit, every other uber driver
told me
the same
thing
BingoBoingo: "Why,
then, I wondered, did he vote for him?"
BingoBoingo: “It’ll be
turmoil for four years. He’s like a firecracker in a keg of dynamite.”
BingoBoingo: "He said Bill Clinton “sold us out with
that NAFTA crap.” He said George W. Bush had “f----d us good.” He said Obama’s eight years “sucked.” He called Hillary Clinton “a mean ol’ heifer.”"
mircea_popescu installed king's bounty. anyone played
that ? (katauri interactive)
Framedragger: well, maybe he
treats his ipv4 assets
the same way he
treats outstanding paypal cents, i.e. something he may prefer
to get rid of. :) but
that was an uninformed assumption of mine
adlai: Framedragger: uh, you're
talking
to mp, not some l2 shmuck who just self-ups for random retorts. small money flows in one direction only, afaict.
mircea_popescu: so
talk
to
the spammers, buy a server farm setup with a few dozen ips and use it for your purpose purpose. as you won't get blacklisted nobody will give a shit. bout $50/ip/month is where
the market is now, can readily bill your employer
triple and if he won't pay ditch him on
the spot.
Framedragger: (interestingly enough, very little movement in
this area. not
that i believe in "we'll disrupt
the whole industri!!!" startupy nonsense.)
Framedragger: (project is
to build a 'roboadvisor' for real estate. use past real estate purchase price data
to build
time series, also use near-realtime rental data, combine all into a
training set for a model which predicts what's worth
to invest in. (not my project idea but i'll be doing some dev work for it.) will need
to scrape
things which don't particularly like
to be scraped. need addresses. "make real estate more
transparent")
Framedragger wonders if can relate project
to
tmsr interests somehow
Framedragger: ah, i laboured under
the assumption
that small money is still money :p yeah i understand.
mircea_popescu: yes but i don't particularly want money nor am i interested in supporting non-tmsr anything. so
there's no upside for me whatsoever.
Framedragger: if by chance you actually 'own'
them in
the sense of having your contact info
there in ripe db,
they can be 'transferred'. i haven't done it before
tho so may be
talking nonsense?
Framedragger: (ideally
they'd be scattered around, not under single block)
Framedragger: hey mircea_popescu, you still got a bunch of ipv4 addresses available? are
they under a single /16? i may be interested in purchasing/leasing
them from you for a non-tmsr related project
Framedragger: "Quora walked in
to an investor meeting, stated
these facts as plainly as I have, and walked out with a check for eighty million dollars.
That's
the power of investor storytime. "
Framedragger: "on in new funding at a $900 million valuation.
Their stated reason for
taking
the money was
to postpone having
to
think about revenue. "
Framedragger: quora is ~cancer in my books, and i have higher
tolerance level
than say alf. so
that
tells ya something :D but seriously, quora is a ridiculous site run by a ridiculous "company".
to quote maciej / idlewords, "Quora's declared competitor is Wikipedia, a free site
that not only doesn't make revenue, but loses so much money
they have
to ask for donations just
to be broke. Recently, Quora raised $80 million in new funding at a $900 milli
mircea_popescu: 1.2mb css file. really ? 200kb FONT. not fonts. one. it loads multiple. why
the fuck ?
mircea_popescu: quora page has been loading for > 20 seconds now, doing half a dozen post requests in
tyhe process. what
the fuck hayseeds must one have for brains
to do a POST on page load holy shit, just build your pages correctly,
there's absolutely no reason any webpage has
to post without user interaction.
mircea_popescu: dude
these "responsive" web 2.0 ajax site are a sad display.
mircea_popescu: how
the fuck
they manage
to go
through
that lengthy opus on "constitutional violations" without for a second stopping
to point out
that
the ONLY reason
this is possible is because
THEY forced an idiot into
the office because he happened
to be mulatto is anyone's guess. seriously, nobody over at rolling stone notices
this ? eight years of bahamas pissing on
the constitution is what allows everyone else now
to do
the same ?
mircea_popescu: but hey, people may choose
to go offline for all sorts of reasons.
Framedragger: re. vc blog, he's using a let's encrypt cert, and archive.is doesn't seem
to like
that cert also. :/
mircea_popescu: totally. it's not like "america" in
the swj sense hasn't ever existed ; nor
that rolling stone stopped mattering about
the
time mtv started airing. no, no, it's just
that
trump,
thirty fucking years late
to
the party, "ruined" "things". what
things ?
the
things hacks squatting an abandoned
trade magazine hallucinated & confabulated into being,
those
things!
mircea_popescu: it's kind of funny
to watch unintelligent narcissists observe
their solipsist bubble popping. "oh
the
thing
that didn't exist didn't exist and
the random element which happened
to pop it IS
TO BLAME"
a111: Logged on 2017-01-21 19:58 pete_dushenski: in other greats,
trump is still using his personal
twitter handle instead of '@potus', which has dropped from 13.1mn followers
to 5.3mn in
the last day. bots left with bahamas apparently.

trinque: I saw a pretty good sign some chick was holding on some rag earlier... "Women are perfect"

☟︎ ben_vulpes: yeah, general
thesis is bankrupt
the state and hedge against success with bitcoin and old servers
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: for sure. just winning strategy for mbga. and
that may well be. i can certainly see it.
pete_dushenski: world reserve currency (or world rally championship). former in
this context.
pete_dushenski: unless you fancy yourself a better
thief
than your neighbours, in which case you'll still end up ahead. so i guess
there's
that.
pete_dushenski: that strategy only lasts for as long as you have wrc status or hard money escape hatch. otherwise you end up 'investing' in persian rugs and rusting peugeots because
they hold
their value better
than
the alternatives.
ben_vulpes: reduce
taxes, increase
the debt ceiling, pay for everyone
to have everything fuckit #yolo
ben_vulpes: "i want a boat, are boats free?" "sure, baby! free boats!" "but what about
the people who make
the boats, shouldn't
they get compensated for
their labor?" "you mean
their COERCED LABOR? in world of free, nobody works who doesn't want
to work, and we all work for
the joy of it!" "wait but
then how do boats get made"
ben_vulpes: it can be a humorous bridge into
the property rights
thread
ben_vulpes: sex should be free is lulzy but you quickly veer into
the "wait but most men aren't worth
the lubrication"
trinque: didn't
the ancestors of
those people have
that one?
trinque: what happened
to sex should be free
ben_vulpes: makes
them very uncomfortable and
they don't quite understand why.
ben_vulpes: also, nobody wanted
to be seen near a sign saying "everything should be free"
trinque: oh right, you get a squirt of
the minority juice I guess
ben_vulpes: but
then a light bulb went out in a piece of hardware
pete_dushenski: because
there's degrees of perfection, you see, it's not
the absolute pinnacle in and of itself
pete_dushenski: lulzier because
there's
too many winninz out for
them
to be all paid. so
there's a whole horde of hussies making signs and going hoarse... for free.
trinque: so I'm not gonna stop
them
trinque: they'll stop when somebody makes 'em, like all
things
pete_dushenski: wtf is
this women's march bullshit. seriously. buncha herpyderpy broads had
their chance
to matter with bahamas and
then with shillary.
they can't actually believe
that anyone cares anymore
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: couple other wh pages removed in addition
to climate change. 'lbgt rights' also went poof. mega lulz.
mircea_popescu: The page on climate change was replaced with a page entitled “An America First Energy Plan”
that ignores climate change entirely and says, “President
Trump is committed
to eliminating harmful and unnecessary policies such as
the Climate Action Plan and
the Waters of
the U.S. rule.”
mircea_popescu: all email /me sent in
the past 6 months or so, all dozen pieces of it or
thereabouts went out from dtrump@whitehouse.gov
mircea_popescu: i really dunno
that it matters either way. who
the fuck even uses email anymore.
mircea_popescu: where it came out
the fbi no longer can acquire
the skills of a qualified
typist for half a day at any price
mircea_popescu: i don't
think i ever used it. anyway, run of
the mill email provider, remarkable because loud refusal
to hand over cert keys or some such
mircea_popescu: and who
the fuck gives out phds in "cryptology". is
that even a field ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, sales copy is no basis for
technical judgement.
netmonk: mircea_popescu: yes you are right, i dont know what candi_lustt relates
to
a111: Logged on 2017-01-21 14:17 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what's
the problem with
the lavabit relaunch anyway ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> srsly,
the official dyi kit of
the mexican footbal
team ? who
the everloving came up with
this. <<
The bigger point is
that company found appealing
to Mexicans in America was worth alientating
the other demographics.
The lulz.
mircea_popescu: netmonk omg wtf who
the fuck will "drop a binary executable in his path".
mircea_popescu: and why do
they keep
trying
to peddle
these idiotic battery powered shits. "half hour recharge". bitch... just put a cord on it wtf, 0.3 microsecond recharge on
that one
mircea_popescu: srsly,
the official dyi kit of
the mexican footbal
team ? who
the everloving came up with
