a111: Logged on 2014-07-07 14:00 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 'terminator seed' is actually a very intriguing instrument from the standpoint of the mega-state. solves the ancient problem of the peasants not really needing the state for much of anything (as described in j. scott's 'the art of not being governed.')
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: If your only "competition" is Toni Lane Caserole, I'm a little sad inside.
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2016/too-poor-for-trees-too-dumb-to-know-it/ << i dedicate this to asciilifeform for all his help in chasing down pieces of it!
asciilifeform: iirc the money went specifically to pay for probate lawyers.
asciilifeform: but mircea_popescu this is not even the most monumental wtf, recall when 'symbolics.com', ~first~ .com ever regged, was auctioned off to spammers ?
mircea_popescu: a ty,
mircea_popescu: because totally, that's how it works. fucktard aluminun siding salesmen...
mircea_popescu: sigh. fucking derivative culture. anyone got a link to goatse ?
a111: Logged on 2016-08-15 12:13 mircea_popescu: and then szabo goes on to hurr while blogging on google's platform. sigh.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-15#1521785 << i confess to wondering, of whom there is more - 'blog on proper, hand-admin'd machine' people, or of gentoo users.' ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-15#1521780 << these take at worst a ~week of (a very modest) cpu, to generate. ☝︎☟︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2015-01-30 05:50 mircea_popescu: the socialist state does not want a normally functioning society, but instead this stellar configuration where the state is at the center,
a111: Logged on 2015-02-03 23:23 mircea_popescu: "why vote for women ? because if women spend more time talking to the state and less talking to their husbands, the state will be stronger and society weaker"
mircea_popescu: there's http://btcbase.org/log/2015-02-03#1005509 but i suspect that was earlier. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: hey asciilifeform can you find the first reference for "star pattern" ?
asciilifeform: ('veracrypt' is apparently the umpteenth reincarnation of 'truecrypt')
thestringpuller: Nimoy was the only one who posted anything interested out of Shatner, Takei and himself, but he dead now.
thestringpuller: but d00d posts way too much blog spam
thestringpuller: https://twitter.com/GeorgeTakei/status/765023226887942144 << nah the asian dude from the original star trek that came out as being gay a few years back and became a public figurehead for the US gay community
mircea_popescu: is this the guy with the story about how he fucked a 16yo french girl on the riviera because at the time ?
thestringpuller: dont even need to promote tweets if lame (but somehow "popular") celebrities will devolve to pederasty and shill
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: i had to unfollow George Takei cause I think he's just being paid by blog spammers to post blog spam.
mircea_popescu: dude fucking twitter is unreadable now. most of the screen is a "promoted tweet" which 1) has exactly nothing to do with anything and 2) is exactly the sort of slimy, anticool, "here's me being sexy - with a hoodie" stupidity. it's like all the girls that dedicated their adolescence to "abstinence only" moved on to "corporate advertising / governance" or some shit. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-15#1521774 << i dun think ina grigg has enough study under this belt to produce usable overview studies on such matters. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: and then szabo goes on to hurr while blogging on google's platform. sigh. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: where by so on i mean truly basic stuff such as "what happens to a tub when you open the faucets and plug the drain ???"
mircea_popescu: anyway. gathering some data would lead us to FIRST think about "disease, poverty war". THEN after we've grown out of kindergarten and its infantile emotional responses, it would lead us to think about our priors, such as "Every life is sacred", and so on.

BingoBoingo: ;;later tell covertress once again your thing was beat by an altcorn for media attention
BingoBoingo: attn danielpbarron shinohai and other tweetmailers https://twitter.com/qntra/status/765051127129788416 https://twitter.com/qntra/status/765051445359972352
BingoBoingo: And the meat of the Dicamba saga ends, all that's left is gloating and epitaphs http://qntra.net/2016/08/dicamba-disaster-continues-destruction/

mircea_popescu: what the fuck happened to sandra milo's ass!
mod6: <+thestringpuller> mod6: hitman has taught me that a lot of accidents in the world may not have been accidents << aha, 'tis a great game isn't it?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well they are in 18th century.
thestringpuller: mod6: hitman has taught me that a lot of accidents in the world may not have been accidents
covertress: sorry to spam n dash... but, I'm pooped... cu tomorrow ;) nn - Steph
covertress: ever wanted to hear my voice? > https://twitter.com/covertress/status/764980607390736384
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Best to ignore "store brands" unless you are getting consumables. 2.5 gallons of 41% glyphosate concentrate, HDX is fine. Tool, probably not fine.
asciilifeform: http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lxs-ninxs-17.jpg << mircea_popescu - pigeon, yes, but window made from 'scotch tape' is now unremarkable ? it is almost like we are in 18th c again, but in place of fish bladder, this.
asciilifeform: no reason to follow this, it ends where it started.
asciilifeform: well hm, i'd say it does, but the deception is that there are now '100 yachts' for same value of 'yacht' as when there were 10
asciilifeform: thinking about it again, does it actually make sense to roll resource depletion (of empty space around yacht, of molybdenum, etc) into 'inflation' metric ?
mircea_popescu: it'd seem, to my naive intuition, that the interest alone couldn't explain this weird.
mircea_popescu: the pruned-middle being a reference to buffett and that fiscal discussion, "in which you become grain"
asciilifeform: well no mega-seekrit as to why - middle is where the actionable meat lives, and you wouldn't want ~that~ openly discussed...
mircea_popescu: idiotic nonproblems and extremely advanced problems are discussed ; but there's no discussion of anything to bridge that gap.
asciilifeform: imho very palpable dimension, that is usually not mentioned.
asciilifeform: ull, sporting one hundred yachts, the fact that the monetary inflation is matched by corresponding inflation of yacht volumes doesn't help you any : you're now stuck with ninety more fuckwits on your wharf, and yachting shall never be the same. This is definitely inflation.'
asciilifeform: 'Once the organised thieves started their attack on prosperity, inflation was redefined to "mean" something meaningless, to wit "a disparity between the increase in means of payment and the increase in available goods and services". This is poppycock, primarily because if on a wharf somewhere there's ten yachts which each cost one million, then you and your nine friends are THE ten people with yachts. If tomorrow the wharf is chock-f
asciilifeform was recently reading vintage trilema, and happened upon http://trilema.com/2014/the-basics-of-banking-a-discussion - which is quite pertinent to the recent inflation thread,
asciilifeform: 'Ya I wont be betting on this site until they pay the winners for the original trump nominee bet, very shady behaivor.' << holy mother of fuck.
trinque: appears to be the only way to have working items
trinque: asciilifeform: nothing heavy. I will probably give in and write my own RSS thing this week.
asciilifeform: at this moment, standing at 49.37 BTC ('no'); 33.30 BTC ('yes').
asciilifeform: in unrelated nonnews, looking at what is in bbet today, folks who a) willing to use it b) follow mircea_popescu's logic re clitler - stand to make some coin, possibly: https://bitbet.us/bet/1256/donald-trump-will-win-the-2016-united-states
asciilifeform: trinque: what've you got on that box ?
mircea_popescu: this is about on par with their performance generally.
mircea_popescu: out of ~50 or so dead hookers in the past 20 years, the police "solved" 3 cases.
asciilifeform: hah there it is.
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2016/lxs-ninxs/ << Trilema - Lxs ninxs
mircea_popescu: derpy govt movement purporting to priviledge murders involving females ("femicidio") over murders in general.
asciilifeform: what the hell exactly ~is~ it
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: didja ever explain the 'Ni Una Menos' thing ?
mircea_popescu: "ghostly" or "fit to be hanged" ?
mircea_popescu: spot test : what's patibulaire mean to teh lordship ?
asciilifeform: ;;later tell trinque deedbot rss is broken ??
mod6: this is mainly a learning device anyway. as now I can take what i've learned here and apply it to the makefiles.
shinohai: o7 mod6 just got pm too
mod6: ;;later tell pete_dushenski You wanna help the Foundation test the latest V99994 incantation?
mod6: ;;later tell danielpbarron You wanna help the Foundation test the latest V99994 incantation? ☟︎☟︎
mod6: with some additional work (encoding & signing the buildroot deps) and a simple guide, this could be a thing shortly.
mod6: essentially, i've taken all the buildroot deps (typically collected from the wan), along with the trb deeds, placed them in a local dir with the build script (modified to suit this process) and launched.
mod6: So in test-land news; I've created a working totally off-line build for trb.
thestringpuller: turns out the FED physically delivers cash without KYC everyday. who'd of thought?
znort987: mircea_popescu: was just pointing out that I ought to actually look at what I'm looking at. Re bitfinex: neve understood why people would want ever leave their coinz in other people's pockets. pretty much negates everything bitcoin is about.
znort987: lo and behold, the third line on the page actually says "Frequently Asked Questions" lol
thestringpuller: Framedragger: in regards to http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-14#1521475 << I was trying to make a point in regards to Ver's idealism. Currently if 1993 AOL "mass adoption" occurs, the underbanked will inevitably be left out due to lacking infrastructure of the sovereign nature. Ver despite calling himself an anarchist is still willing to suck the USG dick, which helps no one. The fact he responded with "You found a new business opportun ☝︎
mircea_popescu: see the faq, it includes sample code even
znort987: so IIUC this is a unalterable log of "things stated by GPG key owners" that are somehow shoehorned into the blockchain ? How does the shoehorning actually work ? Do it cost coinz ?
znort987: mircea_popescu: cant say that I do. gotta go read up on it I guess. pointerz ?
a111: Logged on 2016-08-14 19:36 znort987: so anyhoo ... reason I'm here is simply to make a statement: bitbet is whole, not a cent of customer funds is ever accessible from the internet, and bitfinex was *never* used (nor were any other online wallets / exchanges / etc ...)
mircea_popescu: ftr, you understand how deeds work ? that'd be the cannonical application for stuff like http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-14#1521562 ☝︎
znort987: like I said earlier, the fact I had never sent email that wasn't encrypted nor signed during the bitbet auction should have been a dead giveaway that it wasn't me talking.
znort987: mircea_popescu: that's how info@bitbet.us is setup. and asciilifeform is right: email is lame for auth.
mircea_popescu: hey, there's good reasons not to use email as "security"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: great till your dns is jacked.
mircea_popescu: pro tip : set up your own mailserver if you're going to use email as a security token.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-14 20:39 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-14#1521544 << how did that happen ?
znort987: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-14#1521634 << unfortunate combo of yahoo security model flaw (they claimed they "obsoleted" security questions when in fact the "obsoleted" part means they can't be changed but can still be used for account recovery) and my being careless/lazy (security question/answers were weak and I never bothered to fix while I could). ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: bonus fact, i finished $job with angle grinder, also chinese, which overheated and began to smoke.
asciilifeform: and GO an just TRY selling duralumin saw.
asciilifeform: one melamine biscuit at a time.
asciilifeform: one motherfucking broken hand tool at a time.
asciilifeform: poor sad ru orcs never knew how to correctly wreck 'rotten capitalist' west.
mircea_popescu: duralumin actually is perfect for that application. and yes, cheapest than just about anything, incl the plastic.
asciilifeform: 'let's also sputter-metallize it to look like at least pot metal' is also chinese.
asciilifeform: and yes, 'let's make this part that takes 100kg of tension out of plastic' is a specifically chinese practice.
