mircea_popescu: check it out,
there's a worldofcorn.com website for BingoBoingo 's pleasure. 2015 us avg yield was 168.4 bushels / acre for a
total 13.6 bn bushels. corn is about 400 calories / lb,
there's 56 lb per bushel of shelled corn,
thus

the lady is clearly special
Joshua-I: So I
think it might be a kind of obtuse joke
Joshua-I: If you go with a browser like lynx
the redirect never happens
Joshua-I: Well I'm not willing
to bother running it again, but from what I can deduce it checks whether you're running certain browsers
then fucks your browser accordingly with nasty js
ben_vulpes: or is
that a
thing
that consumers have cum
to buttsecks
ben_vulpes: Joshua-I: btw, d'you plan
to negrate pankkake for
the malicious js?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i am surprised
that it does not come with jsxploits
shinohai: mod6 well anything eth related usually leads
to lulz
mod6: i lul'd earlier when i read
that
thread shinohai. funny stuff.
ben_vulpes: rape scene, french flim, something something
the girl
shinohai: so many mixed reactions
there mod6
hanbot: mircea_popescu
that's
that irreversible
thing neh?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i had my fair share of
them
the oast few weeks
phf: when asciilifeform will finally find +ev way
to go postal
mircea_popescu: one day all
the
trolage is going
to come back
to bite us.
BingoBoingo: Yeah, had
to make sure joke was closed for alf.
phf: thanks, BingoBoingo, i'd be sitting
there waiting for
the rest of
the joke otherwise
phf: a lifetime of very specialized knowledge
to share with a bunch of no child left behind cases
phf: hanbot: guy really knew his shelters
tho, but from a certain kind perspective. spent some
time building geodesic domes with lloyd kahn,
traveled places
to ethnograph or
try and join builds, including mongolia for yurts
BingoBoingo: Right, freenode has aimed its anus at you, hence you getting
the shit. Phenomenon colloquially known as aimnus.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Nah, it is exactly as shitty as last week. Just happens
to have aimnus'd at you at
the moment.
BingoBoingo: I mean seriously
the people derping about STEM, access, and MOOC have
to be actually
taking about something other
than what
they say
those
things expand
to
hanbot: shelters of
the world! i'd
take a yurt class fo' sho'
hanbot: BingoBoingo not a bad idea. how 'bout i keep it and its wretched brothers aside as i go and write a roundup
thingie when done?
to go with
the "peace studies" one and whatever other horrors await.
phf: there was a guy at local community college who
taught "shelters of
the world" class, which started with "build a log cabin for a grade" some
time in
the 80s and ended with "design shelter on paper, bring me something, i will make curve"
phf: there used
to be a generation of 70s anthropologists in u.s. who read gary snyder and did
things with
their hands,
they would
teach all
these interesting retro
technology classes.
they are mostly gone now, i've managed
to catch
their last wave and got a distinct feel from
them "kids
these days fucking suck"
☟︎ BingoBoingo: hanbot: You know you could prolly qntra
that program up.
Joshua-I: You must have an interesting
tumblr my man
mircea_popescu: phf meanwhile dead cluj ethnologist had a superb "wood
technology" class.
phf: maaan, i read
that as "greek
technology" and got really excited
mircea_popescu: that's not going
to "count" as a cost because... well, corruption, racism, etcetera.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: article vaguely alluded
to post-sec bezzletron with 'figure can double'

True BingoBoingo last
time I had
to do
that it was at least 15mins signing
the
thing not
to mention
the pointless
talk before hand
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no i mean from 17yo
to 18yo when dudes want car and bitches need prom dress + abortion.
Joshua-I: It's like a stimulating predicate logic
twitter
Joshua-I: This place is somehow more addictive and habit forming
than
twitter
mircea_popescu: what can i
tell you. i dun
think it's sensible, but seen with own eyes hard
to go away.
mircea_popescu: alcatel building in
timisoara, had
the exact problem when power went out.
Joshua-I: If you need it
that safe lock is reasonable, if you don't
then what do you care
mircea_popescu: Joshua-I
think about it, it's either fail deadly or fail safe. if
there's no power it can either lock or unlock. which do you pick ?
Joshua-I: I hope
they don't make elevators lmao
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski it can be many
things. chet made some pretty epic gravy. you're right in
that it's rendered fat as
the fat base ; with a starch.
this is how all sauces are made.
Joshua-I: Cut
the power? It'd have
to be very poorly designed for
that
to work
mircea_popescu: possibly
the most usg-tronic item in existence
today. i'd rather have doberman patrols.
mircea_popescu: god i hate
those
things. from an institutional perspective - all anyone has
to do
to open all your doors is cut
the power. from an individual perspective fuck me i'm not going in
the rat maze.
Joshua-I: Well if you're staunchly against having offices
then it's crap, but if you're not it certainly works better
than paper id
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: amen. shit's right up
there with gravy and...
that's it really.
top
two 'normally' ingested poisons : mashed potatoes and gravy. fucking incredible
that
they're oft eaten
together.
Joshua-I: In combination with wot I don't
think it's half bad
though
mircea_popescu: "o look,
the cookie model is bullshit, so
they fixed it by making a dongle. cuz we all know dongles work, atari proved it!"
Joshua-I: asciilifeform: sorry, I really need
to habituate
that
mircea_popescu: that's
the whole principle - you can not do
things by yourself!
this is swedish socialism and "we" gotta be!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the "restrict mining market"
thing, as experimented by crown jool debeers, is a major schtick because of its implications for oil, russia and in general. remember how just about when independent countries gathered enough
technological mommentum
to build exportable lightbulbs,
the item "had
to be upgraded" ?
Joshua-I: What's
the opinion on pgp smart cards / yubikey around here
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski
this entire "post quantum"
thing reminds one sorely of
the "post-ozone-layer" and "post-year-2k-bug" lolpocalypses.
pete_dushenski: 'we're
trying
to break
the broken
to see if
the more broken is really more broken or if we should stick with our current broken.'
pete_dushenski: ithm might
turn out
to be breakable even with
today's computers, in which case
the elliptic-curve algorithm will still provide
the best security
that
today’s
technology can offer." << l0l!!!
pete_dushenski: "Today we're announcing an experiment in Chrome where a small fraction of connections between desktop Chrome and Google's servers will use a post-quantum key-exchange algorithm in addition
to
the elliptic-curve key-exchange algorithm
that would
typically be used. By adding a post-quantum algorithm on
top of
the existing one, we are able
to experiment without affecting user security.
The post-quantum algor
pete_dushenski: after 2012, it's just write down
the highest number our impoverished bureaucrats can count
to and go with
that.
