a111: Logged on 2017-03-26 04:20 asciilifeform: nope, woke up from road noises
as always
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, no but the idea here is for the "expansion" to be ulterior of the item it attacks and sold
as an "improvement"
hanbot: mp_en_viaje wouldja say it's
as simple
as setting a cutoff date?
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: NYC chose this path when they picked DeBlasio
as their Trump
pete_dushenski: it's indeed very painful to come to terms with how poor you really are when you discover that folks making 10-20x what you are ARE ALSO POOR. certainly not
as poorly positioned, but not rolling out of bed and into silk house robes at 10am on a tuesday either. sucks.
pete_dushenski: aaaaan stan beat me once again to the punch on the news break. by two days! (bad pete, don't skim logs so loosely). but the spoofcard angle is at least novel,
as a construction if nothing else.
pete_dushenski: woman. And rather than use a traceable credit card or PayPal, the perpetrator paid for his Spoofcard in Bitcoin—another dead end. […] SpoofCard and services like it have plenty of legitimate users, such
as undercover cops […] "When requested, we [Spoofcard] comply quickly and responsibly with lawful requests from all levels of law enforcement, and we have built specific tools to prevent abuse.”
shinohai thanks BingoBoingo for preserving "Shillbert"
as always
mircea_popescu: it's not nearly
as unilateral
as all that. 20yo afghani female is actually competent and appreciated for her competence. this is a damn sight more than anything hilary clinton ever achieved in her sad, contorted stump of a life
mircea_popescu: honestly i'd be muych surprised if the average bloke in the us wouldn't actually prefer living
as 1997 average afghanistani instead.
mircea_popescu: certainly a much more respectable,
as well
as effectual, historical figure.
mircea_popescu: anyway. strong law-and-order ticket, repressed the bums (social group that today in the us masquerades
as "students") and so on.
phf: well, i wouldn't go
as far
as playing nicely either. you have a clim editor, that you can theoretically extend in all kinds of interesting ways, yet you're still using it in combination with the emacs, etc.
gabriel_laddel_p: Reviewing all the log references in the "TODO: new, better hardware" node of the manual and compiling a list of hardware that is less braindamaged. Purchasing, assembling & them selling them
as the 2nd generation of Masamune.
ben_vulpes: yeah i mean it makes
as much sense
as any of the other magic green lock stuff
phf: {0..100} works
as expected!
mircea_popescu: this is rank nosense entirely bereft of any meaning. you might
as well recount your dreams.
mircea_popescu: but the point being : nintendo utterly owned a market, which some years later had the n64 people killed for used
as paperweights. sony owned the market, then lost to microsoft, and so following. this notion that intel has a hope in hell is about
as ludicrous
as the nonsense career bureaucrats in washington built their lives on.
mircea_popescu: and "foundations" SURE
AS FUCK don't count
as an improvement here.
mircea_popescu: because i sure
as fuck don't want "free trade" and "open whatever" and "accessiblity" if what that means is that intel gets to rule it.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-20 20:46 mircea_popescu: in other lulz, the state of casual gaming is completely fucked up. so other than utter throwaways, stuff that looks like someone's undegrad project, the ~entire market of ipad-likes (stuff that works in the browser, or else via a "light" client for windows/mac, or else
as a ipad/android etc app) is wholly like this :
a111: Logged on 2017-03-23 00:12 asciilifeform: if i ever make the fpgaized thing, it sure
as fuck won't bother trying to drive an lcd or eat keyboard, wtf, just speak x11.
mircea_popescu: he usually misstates this
as hav ing to do with cpu foundries etc, which it pointedly does not.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-23 03:39 asciilifeform: the old iron, doppler , is not -- contrary to the delusions of 'collectors' -- interesting per se. the ~software~ was not even interesting per se -- it was a tall pile of stinking mit hacks. the CONCEPTS, however,
as described in
http://www.loper-os.org/?p=284 , WERE interesting.
mircea_popescu: enjoy teh tv fiction, i say, tis
as close
as you're fucking getting.
mircea_popescu: "roses are sweet, bruises are blue, i had a great time but not
as great
as your asshole is now."
pete_dushenski:
http://archive.is/fmGhw << i don't even know where to begin with this 'day in the life of 28yo credit suisse banker'. is bi that fucking cocksure that they think their readers will swallow pictostory about nice kid who plays squash and eats in cafeteria all day ?
as if this kid isn't pushing dodgy shit onto worthless clients he and his bank don't give a shit about all because his higher-ups have some bad
a111: Logged on 2014-06-02 18:05 asciilifeform: (e.g. power station on every street corner, wall wiring
as thick
as your arm, etc)
a111: Logged on 2015-07-29 00:35 asciilifeform: at any rate, if you go and read edison's writings, you get a very similar flavour of 'idiot savant / malicious imbecile'
as from bill gates
mircea_popescu: there's just about nothing interesting you could find by opening hood of ancient car,
as an engine designer today. not one trhing. most of them are collected, and are revered by a so-minded public, and aren't documented worth didly squat. i dun think this sunday hobby item is different from that.
mircea_popescu: shinohai who the fuck esteems a two bit instructor in an obscure university that's been circling bitcoin for years and has
as of yet produced nothing besides tweets and dandruff ?
doppler: I have enjoyed the content that I have read in the logs over some months and watched scroll by
as I idled here the past few days
mircea_popescu: nothing prevents you from using a normal one this way
as it is.
a111: Logged on 2016-03-20 13:54 mircea_popescu: phf> ok, not sure if anybody tried yet, but asciilifeform's gentoo chicken works
as prescribed << it does, yes, and it IS a very good and useful thing. almost makes me feel bad when mocking linuxen.
pete_dushenski: powerbook g3 ? thought those were nifty
as a kid but i was still on desktops at the time. brief foray into laptopery didn't come until college in 04
shinohai remembers the Dogecoin chan had this, worked exactly
as one would expect .....
ben_vulpes: may
as well immerse in mineral oil at that point.
ben_vulpes:
as if the plane weren't stupidly complex enough already, let's bolt another pile of heinous complexity to it
as well
trinque: ftr, all trb downloads come from a dedicated deeds box I've been happy to run
as core infrastructure pro bono.
Framedragger: bots autoup folks there, use channel
as funnel of good material into #trilema; or, bots calculate entropy of nicks outputting there, creating automatic pipeline.. horrible idea i know
ben_vulpes: i assume, yes, and ask
as i have nfi what even to search for
ben_vulpes: "thousands of files with the same hash values
as known child pornography files"
ben_vulpes: surely that's not going to be
as simple
as adding the right CROSS_COMPILE flag to portage conf files, right?
mircea_popescu: phf and i bet the happenstance that friend-describes-him-
as-not-smooth and the incidental that no-hot-chicks-take-to-his-bower are entirely and wholly unrelated in his own estimation, if somehow it were to be obtained yes ?
mircea_popescu: most "bad relationships" are exactly that. bitter moon (the film) if anyone saw that crap is best summarized
as "two subbies arguing who should top that evening".
mircea_popescu: heck, the whole africa used phone market isn't there because THESE FUCKS EAT THE LEFTOVERS
AS A DEFINITIONAL CHARACTERISTIC. but purely
as a matter of choice.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: "
As reported by Motherboard, a September 2016 filing by a Canadian court revealed that the Dutch police were able to decrypt the PGP-encrypted messages because the Dutch investigators may have found the decryption keys on the seized server itself."
shinohai is a little sad to see vim
as an app
mircea_popescu:
as always, the empire is consistent, in its batshit insane sort of logic.
mod6: You will find that The Bitcoin Foundation website has duly been updated
as well
as the TRB How-To Steps (nothing more has changed than the version number of the tarball to grab for V).
mod6: I'll tell ya, I've never had much prior experience but... the american health care "system" is about
as useless
as rubber lips on a woodpecker.
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, remember the time when the fake "bitcoin foundation" was a thing ? noticed how it... sorta got dropped ? and nobody felt any strong compulsion to explain or inquire
as to... why the fuck ? nor did this lack of intererst seemingly inform any self-examination along the lines of "if this thing could be dropped so easily, what consistency did it really have ???"
shinohai: I suppose BU feels that tmsr members must secretly support the blockstream agenda
as well.
mircea_popescu: ~same
as $random-athlete to move on to sportscaster position.
trinque: what this does is empowers every slackjaw peasant to use "we'll go apeshit"
as leverage
trinque:
as though the thing somehow comes from them
danielpbarron: speaking of pedestrian vs car. in this city the orcs spitefully and intentionally obstruct the road
as some sort of bizzarro power signalling. Things like waiting until there is a car before crossing the road ; opening driver's side door without even looking, and then taking their time with it, digging around like its their closet and not a public street
trinque: houston area has loads of toll roads, great filter that keeps you able to get anywhere you want quickly
as long
as you pay

mircea_popescu: look : if my slavegirl wears a red dress and i dun like it, i go "take that thing off". maybe i don't go anything. but i sure
as fuck don't go "oh honey, red dresses aren't good."
mircea_popescu: "no one shall make any covenant
as to the use of land."
mircea_popescu: bitch, what ? would have been 2x
as good and 10x
as cheap to build rail.
