asciilifeform: the minus is that it is (yes) in usa, and has very limited support for anything that isn't text www ☟︎
fd_travel: i wouldn't trust their virtualised 'dedicated box' offer to actually be dedicated but who knows
ben_vulpes: don't they?
a111: Logged on 2017-03-22 20:46 Framedragger: luckily there haven't been any leakage of key material over radio
Framedragger: i simply haven't internalised the republic's world_takeover_timeline.txt
phf: but it's not advertised anywhere. bulk of random strangers is going t come here
Framedragger: luckily there haven't been any leakage of key material over radio ☟︎
mircea_popescu: maybe i'm slow, but i can't connect that to the q ?
mircea_popescu: the right question is, why doesn't twitter alter all its images on the fly to hit those hashes
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/0qmNU << from same rag. 'The US Third Circuit Court of Appeals today upheld a lower court ruling of contempt against a chap who claimed he couldn't remember the password to decrypt his computer's hard drives.'
asciilifeform: ^ complete with 'oh it wasn't the tor, believe'
mircea_popescu: the ones that did it, to the graveyard. the replacements -- don't do it.
mircea_popescu: most of the tubes lead nowhere / most of the nerves aren't connected / most of the cables lay buried in a pile of mud.
phf: guy connects to trilema from his android, gets banned, still doesn't reach out to anybody. "oh, i'm sorry, my bad, i will learn to wash ass", something
phf: i know a guy who rickshaws (in new york, now in austin), and loved it for that very reason. i think he stopped because young girls don't typically get pedicab, mostly drunken old women who "grab his ass" etc.
mircea_popescu: shockley period americans didn't have much trouble distinguishing car from rickshaw.
asciilifeform: it isn't clear to me that americans, in the general case, can distinguish cosmo from whatever.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform wasn't bsod. was "this windows is anciend please sir."
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: diana_coman no see, she wants to have power. because she doesn't. and if you go into teaching you have power, because that's why they keep prosecuting them.
mircea_popescu: yeah right. she can't do that.
shinohai: Secretary of State Rex Tillerson: " I didn't want this job .... but mah wife has me pussywhipped so I did it."
shinohai: np mod6 .... I see you got to the release before I got to msg you and let ya know the other tests went fine, but I didn't expect hiccups after this morning's first.
mircea_popescu: by now the capital goods advantage isn't that marked for the us, and the injuns make barely ok doctors. you're better off with "3rd world".
mircea_popescu: you can't live off your "interior decoration blog" in the states.
mircea_popescu: i suppose i needn't point out the correct verbal tense'd have been "the teen HAD disappeared". no tense left behind!
mircea_popescu: must be you weren't professional enough.
Framedragger: would make sense to download more archives from commoncrawl from before january or wherever and to then grep for sensitive keywords but can't be bothered right now. sorry for teh hype
trinque: didn't the mob condemn your guy?
trinque: community isn't a thing
shinohai: danielpbarron: https://youtu.be/ffwFXGPRDu4?t=12
danielpbarron: shinohai, is this the set up to a joke? I don't know that there is a gender restriction imposed in the Bible
shinohai: danielpbarron: Why aren't women allowed at stonin's ?
phf: villagers, they simply don't know what's a hygiene
mircea_popescu: why. because the ustards can't do anything right anymore. gotta do it speshul.
danielpbarron: i don't slow down for 'em
mircea_popescu: "oh you can't afford a cab ? lol." and then don't pay the drones enough to afford a cab.
trinque: I wouldn't mind if the whole thing worked that way
danielpbarron: i oppress them in a non violent way: I pass on the right. I don't let people follow behind me, or to my side. when I pass, I get it over with. and I never try to look at the people in the cars, which i've been told by people who do that it causes them to become apoplectic
phf: ever since playing Quarantine, i thought that it wouldn't be a bad idea to make highways lawless zones
asciilifeform: there is a reason why the fence is the 'most stereotypically american' furniture of the landscape. everything, even the most worthless empty lot, ruined cement plinths overgrown with weeds, is fenced in -- and if you don't fence in even own front yard, sheeple will trample it to dirt within weeks
mircea_popescu: these bs "solutions" ain't.
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: i don't think he forgot.
danielpbarron: if that speed were the speed i want to go then i guess it wouldn't be a problem. but i drive fast
asciilifeform: can't say i've ever seen a jam that looks like 'long strings of cars going exactly the same speed'
shinohai: Speaking of battlestations, didn't you mention you have a new boxxen in the works?
shinohai: Kinda like indiancandy having a vagina she didn't want to penetrate with anything.
mircea_popescu: "oh, big whoop, why oppress the niggers! not like i don't have my nice suit or my sane office"
mircea_popescu: you know, at the time the samovar wasn't yet a train
mircea_popescu: it wasn't ok top be black, then
mircea_popescu: i don't recall right off.
mircea_popescu: but you couldn't really go | which ... yeah. ruins it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dos wasn't altogether shell-less though. about par with ash or w/e they had at the time.
mircea_popescu: shit was ~windows 3.1, except actually worked, was actually useful and took like 300kb. but otherwise - exactly identical. unsurprisingly, didn't take off.
mircea_popescu: fortunately, this hasn't been a thing in a decade by now.
trinque: ah shit this isn't google
trinque: I dunno about the commercial lisp IDE situation but wouldn't surprise me if they're pretty ok
a111: Logged on 2017-03-11 21:36 phf: that's another reason, why i don't for example, "hack my python with vim like a real hacker". give me the filthiest, most feature rich IDE, where i can just push spacebar to get half of my scaffolding, or whatever kids these days
mircea_popescu: "won't shit get randomly bent and displaced and you only get the residual friction anyway ?" "YEAH!!!"
phf: but in structural carpentry by the way they don't use nails, drills and screws. (i have experience with that one, and last time i did a build i don't think we even had a hammer)
mircea_popescu: or maybe hammers aren't as important as all that.
phf: i didn't actually quit programming, omg. this is reminiscent of the whisperers thread, where a strawman, once chosen, because the only possible direction of conversation
asciilifeform: i don't, note, take issue with folx who quit programming. i aspire to do it one day, myself.
asciilifeform: there isn't a different town.
mircea_popescu: well, shouldn't you have a barrel of asphalt in your car, fix the hole ? serious people go about with barrel of asphalt tied to car.\
phf: ben_vulpes: we're not actually discussing various relative merritts of various who calls, because we don't have any problem in mind. for trb clion's who-calls is above and beyond anything emacs provides, for genera's clim ~genera~ is way better at who calls, etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't imagine he's proposing you don't use whatever tool you want for whatever job.
mircea_popescu: "but the hammer's so nice" "dude we're discussing a tool by itself" "don't you think it's nice ?"
phf: but otherwise i use whatever. it's sort of like, if you don't have a hammer, you don't go pounding nails when you have nothing btter to do
mircea_popescu: i have nfi why regrets - noun wouldn't work in a language where regrets - verb in perfective aspect works out of the box and without glue. in romanian it needs glue to work, and you can say "hey, no glue for noun so you can't do that!"
mircea_popescu: it doesn't really work in romanian. i mean, a common honorific for the deceased is "regretatul" ie, the regretted. but that's about as far as that goes.
mircea_popescu: (though it's a welcome exercise, in passing, to consider HOW would you rigurously prove an apple doesn't cure sun eclipse.)
a111: Logged on 2017-03-21 00:49 mircea_popescu: i know some clits i don't mind pushing 707 times.
mircea_popescu: "we have engineers doing things|! " "What ?" "we don't actually know." "here's some money then."
mircea_popescu: i know some clits i don't mind pushing 707 times. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: there is this very specific failure mode whereby computerists who for naive reasons decide "they don't play computer games" end up game-ifying their daily life. it is way the fuck better to level up a warlock than to dick around "saving" typing and growing a crop of tomatoes on your balcony.
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-20#1630030 << we had a thread where mp's said something like "i don't have rsi because i'm literate". ☝︎
mircea_popescu: in the same vein : new dork (at least i've not seen him before) with apparent delusions of "management" at place i normally frequent. i tell him to bring me a dozen empanadas para llevar. he... didn't understand, at first, then on second pass told me to go to "the different counter", then got invited to go search for his mother's cunt, which rendered him apoplectic. /me went to other place down the street he also frequents, g
a111: Logged on 2017-03-20 23:27 lulcoinz: my understanding is this group doesn't really support segwit or BU
phf: i misspelled something in btcbase search and was surprised when it didn't "search instead for ..." me.
asciilifeform: anyway it isn't a 'replacement for emacs', and serious emacsists do sometimes spit, 'i can do this from TRAMP' etc.
ben_vulpes: i kind of don't care how to pronounce the shit, reading far more important to me now
ben_vulpes: yeah ~right. segwit, aka "blockchains that don't validate" isn't a thing, and "bitcoin unlimited" wtf is that even
lulcoinz: my understanding is this group doesn't really support segwit or BU ☟︎
lulcoinz: if there is a god, I don't think he gives a shit my (or anyone elses) prayers :)
shinohai: We can trade on forks that don't even exist yet!
trinque: didn't yet turn up why
mircea_popescu: "i don't give a shit about rutherford's labels" dun reduce to "there were none" except in your own frame.
mircea_popescu: "does that mean the other jar couldn't then replace this one ?" "that's EXACTLY what it means!"
asciilifeform: (i wonder if stevejobs ever claimed 'we ain't got any nonreplaceables')
asciilifeform: and yes, stalin famously uttered the sage wisdom, 'we ain't got any nonreplaceable people here'
trinque: but I don't think the person's reasoning involves their uselessness
ben_vulpes: but won't kill quite so many folks this time.
trinque: I can't think of any better use for that.
mircea_popescu: cinderblock ie, "wouldn't you like to lvie in a hut made of concentrated furnace waste" ?
mircea_popescu: "they don't make 'em like they used to" "well, they didn't use to have to use sr-90 / ca-40 mix!"
mircea_popescu: radiation is noxious not toxic. it culls the herd, doesn't end it.
trinque: she found the one trick they don't wnat you to know
asciilifeform: i am still thinking about the 'radium girls' mircea_popescu . for some reason most 'left'-flavoured historians don't mention the fact that they were paid 2-3x the market rate for 'generic unskilled gurl'
